On the afternoon of December 3rd, Xu Shiyan led his two brothers, carrying four door-like objects on their backs, as well as shovels, pickaxes and other tools.
Starting from the venue, go straight to the place where you found the mountain donkey trail before.
When he got there, Xu Shiyan walked around a few times and confirmed that Xiang Deerzi had been here in the past day or two.
After finding the correct location, Xu Shiyan asked his two brothers to help clear away the snow and then build a fire.
After the fire burned out, the frozen soil underneath became a little softer.
Fortunately, in early December, the ground has not completely frozen, so it will be easier to bake the frozen soil above.
The three brothers spent a long time and finally dug out four traps and installed the door on them.
Then sprinkle a thin layer of soil and a layer of old snow on the door. Finally, put some frozen greens, cabbage leaves and other things on top.
After finishing all this work, it was already dark, so the three brothers set up a tent nearby.
The three of them hid in a ditch and dealt with it all night. When the light just started to shine in the east, the three of them got up quickly.
Xu Shiyan asked his two brothers to go farther away. He was here, hiding in a small bush, "Yo... Yo..." and started calling the musk deer.
After blowing for a long time, there was no movement.
Xu Shixian and Xu Shi'an in the distance both shook their heads, wondering what the third child was trying to do.
However, Xu Shiyan was not discouraged at all and continued to blow. After a while, there was suddenly a rustling movement in the jungle in the distance.
Then, I saw more than ten deer-like animals running out of the woods to the east.
The Xu Shixian brothers hid behind the bushes, not daring to move for fear of disturbing the animals.
However, Xu Shiyan continued to make sounds to lure the fragrant deer towards the trap.
Needless to say, these fragrant deer must all be male.
Hearing the noise made by Xu Shiyan, they thought there was a "female companion" here, so they all hurried over.
Finally, when I got here, I looked around, but I couldn't find the person I wanted.
Suddenly, the leading fragrant deer spotted green cabbage leaves and frozen green leaves on the ground.
In the middle of winter, in the middle of nowhere, when the vegetation is withered, it is difficult for the fragrant deer to eat enough.
Suddenly, they discovered something delicious. The fragrant deer's eyes widened as they stared at the rare delicacy in front of them.
There seems to be some hesitation, whether to eat or find a partner?
The food comes first. Obviously being hungry is more important than finding a female companion. The leader hesitated for a moment and then quickly rushed towards the food.
The ones at the back couldn't wait to follow, and even jumped faster than the leading one.
As a result, as soon as they jumped in, the trap's trap door was stepped over, and several fragrant deer fell into the trap.
Some fell in completely and were shut in by the door, and some had their heads clamped, sticking their buttocks out and fluttering, trying to get their heads back.
Some only fell in with one leg and got caught in the door, struggling to break free.
There were only four traps set, and probably three or four fell into the trap. The others realized something was wrong and turned around and ran away.
At this time, the Xu Shiyan brothers jumped up, holding ropes in their hands, and directly tied up the four hooves of the struggling fragrant deer.
Afterwards, Xu Shiyan took out a black cloth strip from his pocket and covered Xiang Zhangzi's eyes.
Then take out some high-strength liquor, put it in your mouth, and spray it towards Xiang Zhangzi's nostrils.
Xiang Deerzi was suffocated by the strong smell of alcohol, and suddenly became dizzy, like a drunkard. His whole body was weak, dizzy, and unable to struggle.
After going through four gates, they finally caught three fragrant deer, one of which had its legs pinched, took the opportunity to break free and ran away.
The three brothers didn't care about the fragrant deer that ran away. They held the door with one hand and picked up the fragrant deer with the other hand, and just walked back.
Returning to the venue, the fragrant deer was imprisoned in the pen that Xu Shiyan had surrounded before.
"Lao San, you are good, you know everything. What do you plan to do with these three fragrant deer? Just kill them to get the musk?"
It wasn't until Xiang Deerzi was imprisoned that Xu Shixian had time to ask.
"Brother, I have to ask you for help with something." Xu Shiyan looked at his elder brother.
"Lend me your pen and write an article. I'll think of a way to find someone to submit it to you. It's best to publish it in a newspaper."
Xu Shiyan has been thinking about this matter for a long time. He has low education and cannot write well, so he has to ask his brother for help.
Xu Shixian was stunned when he heard it, "What? Write an article and publish it in the newspaper? Stop making trouble, I don't dare."
When he was young and passionate, he dared to write anything. Now that he has a family and a career, Xu Shixian doesn't dare to mess around anymore.
"Brother, instead of those articles, I asked you to write an article about animal protection.
Especially animals with medicinal value, such as deer and musk deer, do not cause much harm to people and crops and need to be protected."
What can I say, if Xu Shiyan didn't plan to engage in breeding, he definitely wouldn't have thought of these things.
But ever since he came up with this idea last year, Xu Shiyan has been thinking about it.
How many hunters are there like him in the entire Changbai Mountain area?
As forests are gradually cut down, the living environment of wild animals is gradually shrinking, and they are subject to indiscriminate hunting and killing by hunters.
The populations of these animals will gradually decrease or even become extinct.
Don’t mention anything else, just the fragrant deer and deer.
In order to hunt for musk, hunters kill the fragrant deer and cut off the fragrant sachet.
In order to hunt deer antlers, most deer are killed and the antlers cut off.
Is there any other way?
In fact, there are other ways to obtain musk without harming the life of the fragrant deer.
In this case, why don't you think of a way to let the people above know?
Perhaps, when everyone knows this method, will it be possible to save the lives of a few fragrant deer?
Xu Shiyan didn't know if it would be useful, but he was willing to do his little bit.
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, if he did it, it would be better than doing nothing at all.
Xu Shixian listened to his brother's words, thought for a long time, and then sighed.
"I can help you write this article, but I dare not say whether it will be useful.
I feel so embarrassed, how many people understand this? Just like me and my second son, if we hadn’t been with you these days and listened to your nagging, we wouldn’t understand either.
In our hearts, as long as we can make money, I don’t care whether the deer or the deer live or die?"
Xu Shixian's words represent the thoughts of the ordinary people and the majority of people.
If Xu Shiyan had not been reborn, he would definitely have thought the same way. Life has not been good yet, so who cares?
As long as you can make money, is there anything wrong with killing a few deer and deer?
"Brother, it all depends on people. I don't know if it will be effective, but I want to popularize the method of collecting musk."
This is a bit of Xu Shiyan's selfishness.
Because at present, the musk purchased by pharmaceutical factory purchase points is the entire sachet.
The method Xu Shiyan mentioned to collect musk is all powder. I'm afraid people won't buy it at all.
Only when it attracts the attention of the upper class, especially the medical community, and this method is recognized, can the musk collected by Xu Shiyan be accepted and have value.
Otherwise, it would be useless even if he raised these fragrant deer, they would have to be killed sooner or later, which would be meaningless.
"Anyway, you are right. Come on, if you keep nagging me tonight, I will try to write it for you."
