Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 23 No.20 Six Days, Catching Rabbits
I woke up when the sun shone in through the gaps in the branches around the hut.

It feels like my body is being hollowed out, that's what it feels like!

The headache was much better, and I could see things clearly, but all the strength in my whole body disappeared without a trace.

Struggling to stand up.

"Huh?" Xiao Hei disappeared!

"Xiao Hei!" I called loudly, and walked out of the house while calling me.

Before I could go out, Xiao Hei appeared at the door poking his head.

It was able to walk around, which surprised me.

When Xiao Hei walked, his injured hind leg was lifted, but he walked very steadily.

It should also be bored lying down, and probably because the wound started to heal and heal, it also started to walk today.

But I can feel that Xiao Hei is still very weak, and has obviously lost a lot of weight.

I should find something for it to supplement nutrition, these fruits alone are definitely not enough.

So I have to go out today to prepare some meat for Xiao Hei.

And the first reaction in my mind is only the rabbit, but I am not sure, so I can only try it.

Xiao Hei didn't follow. Originally, he wanted to follow, but I was afraid that he would hurt his wound, so I drove him back.

I walked very slowly, not only because of weakness, but also because I was still thinking about how to catch rabbits...

To be honest, I'm not sure.

I went to the river to drink first, and then picked up some vines and a few resilient branches in the woods.

Then I walked towards Rabbit Valley. The valley was still a little far away. When I came to the mouth of the valley, I was out of breath and rested several times along the way.

The alert rabbits in the valley had already spotted me, and after a while of jumping around, they hid in their own caves.

Although I am far away, I can see very clearly.

I tried to learn the slipknot I saw on TV. I wound the vine into a circle, made a loop on one end of the circle, and tied the other end to a branch. The branch was inserted outside the rabbit's nest, and then this The snap button is placed at the door of the rabbit burrow.

As long as the rabbit's leg trips over the noose, I think it should struggle and be tied even tighter.

Then I can complete the task, I really admire my hands-on ability.

In order to make the trap look more realistic, in order to prevent the rabbit from seeing it, I also covered it with a layer of grass.

Next, I need to wait, I left myself, near the mouth of the valley, hiding in a pit on the side of the mountain, waiting quietly.

The wait was very long. After waiting for a long time, the rabbit did not show up.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, the sun was still in the west overhead, but luckily it was not long.

This time, my drowsiness disappeared. I looked towards the direction of the trap, which made me very annoyed. Several rabbits were grazing beside the trap I made. Jump on and off the trap.

"Damn!" I couldn't help saying angrily.

I walked towards the trap, and the rabbits saw me coming down and hid back again.

Tried the trap a few times and to my great disappointment, the thing is completely useless and requires a very hard tug to tighten.

Can rabbits pull?of course not!

So a waste of my time.

Xiao Hei is still waiting for me to roast rabbit meat and cook rabbit soup for him, but until now, I still have nothing.

I angrily pulled out this completely useless trap, and threw it aside viciously.

I'm so useless!

But the anger came and went quickly, and as soon as the anger left, my mind returned to its normal state.

I started thinking of new ways.

Not long after, I thought of another way.

I've never really done a lasso, but I used traps to catch birds when I was a kid.

I moved a slightly flat large stone and a palm-sized gravel at the mouth of the valley. Then, I crossed the ends of two branches and placed them on the palm-sized gravel. The slightly longer branch is pressed between the two branches, and the big stone is lifted up with the slightly longer branch.

This trap is a simplified version of a bird trap. As long as the rabbit touches the branch that is pressed on the gravel below, the slightly longer branch will deviate, and then the big stone will fall down at the same time, and the prey will go. If you don't run in time, you will be pinned down.

I am very sure of this trap, I have caught many sparrows with this trap before.

Rabbit I think it should not be difficult.

Then there was another long wait, and I hid where I was just now and started waiting again.

The vigilance of the rabbits really made me feel uncomfortable, and when I almost fell asleep again, they began to come out of the cave one by one.

A large piece, they run freely and happily, eat and chase.

However, I was so anxious that none of the rabbits went near my trap!
As you can imagine, I was very upset.

"Come here!" However, at this moment, a rabbit was grazing all the way, walking towards the direction of my trap.

"Come more, come more!" I was praying, I was impatient to wait, I didn't ask too much, all I needed was a fat rabbit, which was enough for Xiao Hei and me to have dinner.

If this trap fails, then I really have no other plans and no time.

In the end, when I was about a meter away from my trap, the rabbit ran away...

"Oh," I had to sigh.

Maybe today really has to go away empty-handed.

"Wait a little longer." I advised myself.

After about three or ten minutes, two more rabbits jumped towards my trap.

One of them should be a foodie. It ate all the way under the trap, with its head sticking out under the big rock, eating the fresh green grass with relish, but luckily it didn't touch the branch.

But the other one was not so lucky, of course for him, because just now I saw him go all the way under the big rock.

Although the big rock has not been pressed down yet, I know it should be soon.

"It would be great if I pressed two at the same time! I can..."

How about waiting for me to finish thinking, a muffled sound of "pushing" came into my ears.

The trap is activated!

The other rabbits on the side had never seen such a scene before, and they ran around in fright.

I rushed to the trap excitedly.

bingo!It must have hit, and I was very nervous.

When I was still a little away from the trap, I saw the rabbit whose head was suppressed, and its hind legs were still kicking intermittently...

"Phew" I breathed a sigh of relief, at least I didn't have to worry about being empty-handed. After waiting for a while, I lifted the big rock, and there was another one under it, killing two birds with one stone, and I was very proud.

"The methods are all thought up by people, hahaha."

Carrying two rabbits, I talked to myself excitedly!
