Verricro felt that he was going crazy. He had never thought that he could catch pheasants and mountain rabbits like this. Yesterday afternoon, he and Claude made more than a hundred sets, and then divided them into fourteen groups, each group had ten sets.
Connect them with sets, and then arrange these sets under the bushes and in the grass nests. Finally, use a relatively strong vine to tie these sets to the roots of the miscellaneous trees. Claude also threw them on top of the sets.
Got some grass seeds or something...
This is simply a child's play, that's what Vericro thought at the time. But seeing Claude weaving the condom so seriously, he had no choice but to help. It took the two of them nearly two hours to get rid of this so-called condom trap.
Done. When Vericro went to bed at night, he was still thinking about whether Claude would be disappointed if he found out tomorrow that all his traps and traps were of no use at all. How should he comfort him?
So Vericro didn't mention a word about those traps after school today. Anyway, after school in the afternoon, Claude and I can just take a look secretly. If there is nothing, I can help Claude and just wait and see like yesterday.
If you have some patience, you can still shoot a rabbit or a pheasant or something, but just don't let Claude go back empty-handed.
But Bockar was very curious and asked Claude about what he had harvested there yesterday. Claude said that he only shot one rabbit, but he had set up many traps there. He would check it out after school in the afternoon to see if he had harvested anything.
…
This aroused the curiosity of Bockard and Erikson. The future great captain did not even care about his small fishing boat that was almost completed on the dock and insisted on going with him to see it, because Claude vowed to
He said that the traps he had set must be very effective and guaranteed to yield results, regardless of the expression on Verrico's side lamenting that he was talking nonsense.
But it turned out that Viricault was wrong. The traps set by Claude were not difficult to use, but they were very easy to use. Almost every set of traps yielded a harvest. Five rabbits and four pheasants were caught in the traps.
I was entangled for almost a day and a night, struggling so hard that I was almost dying. I could only watch helplessly as I fell into the hands of these two-legged beasts...
There are fourteen sets of traps. Except for two sets that are intact and unchanged, the other three sets are in a damaged state. It is obvious that these three sets of traps also caught the prey, but under the life struggle of the prey, the traps were torn and allowed the prey to escape.
Shengtian. The remaining nine sets of traps lived up to Claude's expectations and provided him with nine prey.
Verricro looked at the matchlock gun in his hand and murmured: "If I had known, we wouldn't have to pick up any matchlock guns. We would just come here empty-handed to put some sets on it every day, and come back empty-handed the next day to get the prey."
…”
Bockard and Erikson squatted down to help Claude, unhooking the rabbits and pheasants from their harnesses, and then tied the feet of the prey with the ropes Claude had brought. All the prey were intact.
Struggling with strength, he was weak and allowed these two-legged beasts to toss him.
"Claude, how did you come up with this trap?" Ericson asked curiously.
"Haha..." Claude smiled: "This is the benefit of reading more books. I once read a mainland travel diary, saying that there is an island in the north of the mainland. When people there catch those seabirds, they often put a big fish net into it.
Lay it flat on the sand, and then sprinkle small fish and shrimps on it to attract the seabirds to come down and eat. Because it is sandy ground, the seabirds fall down carelessly, and some seabirds' claws go through the fishing net.
As soon as the seabirds landed, people shouted and rushed over. As a result, some seabirds got their claws entangled in the fishing nets and were caught.
This matter was spread to the mainland by those businessmen, so some smart hunters used the same method to hunt migratory birds. They spread the fishing nets flat on the grass or in the mud, and put the food that the migratory birds loved to eat on the fishing nets.
When the migratory birds come down to eat, they rush over. Every time, one or two migratory birds always get their talons entangled in the fishing nets and fall into the hands of the hunters.
However, this fishing net trap has some shortcomings for hunters. First, it is expensive. A fishing net will be damaged quickly due to the struggle of the prey in the grass, which is not worth the loss for the hunter. Second, migratory birds are captured because of the same species.
I also learned my lesson and didn’t dare to come down again when I saw something like a fishing net on the ground. Third, accidents are easy to happen in the mountains, forests and grass, and fishing nets are often destroyed by large beasts.
Later, a smart hunter tried to imitate the mesh of a fishing net and weaved a chain cover to catch small animals such as pheasants and rabbits. The result was a bumper harvest. The travel book recorded this story and also described the chain cover.
How to make a set trap, so I wanted to test it yesterday, but I didn’t expect that what was written in the book was actually true. This set trap is really effective in dealing with pheasants and rabbits..."
Brother, you didn’t say you were doing experiments yesterday afternoon. Instead, you looked very confident. That’s why I helped you make so many condoms... Viricolo felt very sick. Well, these two words are also "clodo".
It is what De usually says, but at this moment Vericro feels that the words "ball pain" are very vivid and apt.
"By the way, Claude, are you going to set up a trap today?" Verricro asked.
"Well..." Claude pondered for two seconds, looked at the five rabbits and four pheasants on the ground with a pair of hind legs and paws tied with ropes, and said: "It's still early anyway, let's make some arrangements. But we can't do it on the ground.
Here it is, don’t move the two good sets of condoms, just throw them here. If we go further inside, we must at least climb over the mound in front of us. The further away from here, the better..."
So the four of them walked in for a long time with their harvest. Looking at the gentle slopes and mountain cols in front of them, Claude finally nodded: "Let's just go here. There are many bushes and grass nests here. Tomorrow's harvest will definitely be better than today's."
many."
Everyone began to look for those thin and tough vines to weave covers.
"Why not use the ropes you brought? They are stronger than these vines..." Ericson was a little confused.
"If you use the rope I brought, then the rabbits and pheasants will consciously avoid these things." Claude replied: "Don't think of the rabbits and pheasants as stupid. Although they are indeed very benzene, they are still smart.
Yes. If you throw a rope sash in the grass or on the ground, it will be incompatible with the surrounding environment and will be very conspicuous. Rabbits and pheasants can also tell that it is a foreign thing, so they will be alert and will not approach."
Claude picked up a trap made of vines: "And this trap made of vines originally came from here. We woven it into a looper, and placed a dozen of them on the ground to form one piece. The rabbits and pheasants didn't have any traces.
Be alert, they will think that these have fallen from the bushes or are originally growing on the ground, and they will step on them without any scruples. Then as long as one of their feet or paws falls into these traps, they will move forward to trap them.
It will tighten, and then they will be frightened and rush forward. As a result, you all saw it, and we caught them lying down exhausted."
With more people and greater strength, the last four people arranged a total of more than 40 sets of serial traps, most of which were under the bushes. Claude checked each group and sprinkled some collected grass seeds and
Mud and grass seeds are food that attracts people, and mud is used to cover people's smell.
"Okay, let's go back. We'll see how much we have harvested when we come over tomorrow afternoon." Claude said, holding his waist. He was exhausted from lying down and squatting to check so many traps just now: "You guys
Take it yourself, how about one rabbit and one pheasant for each person?"
Claude pointed to the rabbits and pheasants on the ground and said.
Bockaar shook his head: "Claude, this is yesterday's prey for you and Vericro. You two should share it together. If there is a harvest tomorrow, it won't be too late for us to share it tomorrow."
Claude glared: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are friends. Let's break up today and talk about tomorrow tomorrow. After talking so much, I won't be able to finish it even if I take it back. What do you think, Vericro?"
Verricro replied angrily: "You have the final say. Anyway, I still have a row of smoked and roasted things hanging under the eaves of my house. I'm tired of eating them. I don't care how much I share."
Boker smiled bitterly: "No, Claude, don't you know that Pied from the old tavern is buying pheasants at a high price? He wants them alive, and these four of you are in line with his purchase requirements."
"What price did he offer?" Claude asked.
"One Riazor, or two more Sunars, it depends on the situation."
"Does he want a pheasant? Does he want a rabbit?"
"Maybe..." Bockaar wasn't sure either: "Last time I saw him standing at the back door of the tavern to settle accounts with a mountain man. The pheasants and rabbits were caught by the mountain man's hunting dogs. He gave the pheasant to him while it was still alive.
The mountain man gave him a riaso, but he didn't want the rabbit if it was dead. The mountain man said that a cheaper price of three sunars would be fine. Pied shook his head and said that it was okay to live, but not to die..."
A rabbit costs three sunars, which is three yuan, and a pheasant can be sold for ten yuan. The price difference is too big.
Claude looked at Viricero, who was very considerate: "Then take it and sell it. Bockard is right. Tomorrow's harvest will be divided by everyone tomorrow."
So everyone spent an hour descending from the mound and out of the forest, and happened to meet a carriage heading for the town. Bockar used a rabbit as a price to get the coachman to agree to send the four of them to the old tavern.
Pied knew Claude, and although he had not spoken to him much, he had met him several times.
What makes Piedad strange is how Claude and the others caught these rabbits and pheasants. It didn't look like they were caught by hunting dogs. Even though Claude and Viricault carried matchlock guns behind their backs, these rabbits could not be captured by hounds.
There are no wounds on He Pheasant's body, he is just less energetic and alive and well.
"Let's do this. One pheasant for one riaso, and four rabbits for one sunar. Do you think that's okay?" Pied said.
At this time, Boker took action. He used the last scene he saw of Pied buying pheasants from the mountain people to fully demonstrate how unreasonable and dishonest the purchase price offered by Pied was.
Ed admitted his careless mistake and compared Claude's alive prey with those caught by hunting dogs. In order to express his apology, Ed took the initiative to increase the purchase price of a pheasant by one.
Sunar, and Rabbit also added a Sunar purchase price.
Claude decided to seal the deal, and at the same time left a rabbit to take home. In the next month, Claude decided to try his best to let Mr. Morsan eat rabbit meat every day until he felt like vomiting...
…
What Pied didn't expect was that the next day, Claude and the other four brought him seventeen pheasants and eleven rabbits. They were still the same as yesterday, with no scars on their bodies and living well, but looking exhausted and weak.
.This makes Pied wonder if these four teenagers are all scuds, chasing these rabbits and pheasants all over the mountains, and they only get caught when they run out of energy...
However, Pied didn't say anything and simply accepted all the money at yesterday's price. Claude still took a rabbit home.
On the third day, Claude and his four friends came again, this time with eleven pheasants and seven rabbits...
The fourth day was six pheasants and eight rabbits…
On the fifth day, the four Claudes came a little late. It seemed that they were tired and they seemed to have traveled a long way. However, they came back with fourteen pheasants and nine rabbits.
Pied finally spoke. He tactfully stated that there were still many live hares and pheasants in the tavern. It took two labors just to feed these rabbits and pheasants. So Pied hoped that after today's acquisition is completed, there would be no more live rabbits and pheasants.
I need Claude and the others to send pheasants and rabbits.
Claude and the four others also breathed a sigh of relief. There were almost no pheasants and rabbits in the mounds and forest areas in the southern suburbs of the town. They were running farther and farther in order to gain something. It took them a long time to get out of the mountains and forests today.
