Chapter 45 The Hunting Trap

It's cloudy,

Zhao Huniu stood in the yard and fastened her belt.

Going up the mountain today, she doesn't plan to enter Jianlin Mountain. After all, it's just the beginning of spring, and there won't be many animals. Most of them came out after hibernation.
It is also not suitable for wanton hunting.

Ancient language: Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, all things are revived,
It is the birth of all things. If you go hunting recklessly at this time, you will be the one who suffers in the end.

The equipment Zhao Huniu brought up the mountain today was light, except for the gun and short knife, he also brought a little salt bag with him.
It is not too late to find water and food up the mountain.

Without disturbing Zhao Cunwu who was still sleeping soundly, Zhao Huniu opened the door and walked out without saying a word.

Early spring mornings are often foggy,
Brassica Village is very quiet,
Although the farming life is done at sunrise and rested at sunset, it was too early for Zhao Huniu to go out.
No one in the village has been seen going out yet.

Zhao Huniu walked alone on the road in Brassica Village with a spear on her back.
There is an inexplicable feeling of being alone.

She walked all the way up the mountain, and when she reached the entrance to the mountain, she could smell the fresh smell of vegetation mixed with water vapor.

Hirayama has nothing to be wary of.
Zhao Huniu's knife is hung on her waist, and she can immediately draw the knife whenever there is any sound.

Different from Shangjianlin Mountain,
Zhao Huniu walked in this obviously sparse forest, far from being on guard to the point where every hair stood on end.

Just as Zhao Huniu thought before going up the mountain, most of the animals that come out of the mountain have survived hibernation at the beginning of spring.

I haven't found much to eat yet, I'm starving,
Zhao Huniu met several rabbits and wild raccoons along the way, and they were all very thin, so she let them run away.

Right now, the quail probably needs to be fatter.
Besides, quails are small in size, and what they eat mainly is flavor.

It's better to catch a few more quails and send them to Boss Jin.

It is actually more convenient to use traps to catch quail, but Zhao Huniu can't use those things.

She only needs to squat on the tree, using the trunk and new leaves to cover her figure,
Quails are social animals, they gather together in groups,
As long as Zhao Huniu sees it and shoots the flying knife in her hand, it can penetrate the necks of two quails when she goes in later.With such precision,

Non-top control and eyesight cannot be achieved.

Zhao Huniu didn't intend to catch too many back,
Found a group of quails and only caught a few of them,
Even though the quail nests that were discovered would not stay there, Zhao Huniu still had no plans to exterminate them.

This is why Zhao Huniu decided to open a shop in the city,

Seasons unfit for hunting like spring and winter,
It is doomed that the family's financial resources will be much less.

Zhao Huniu stayed in Pingshan all morning and caught more than a dozen quail with a short knife.

If an experienced hunter saw Zhao Huniu catching quails in this way, he would probably be surprised that Zhao Huniu could catch more than a dozen quails in such a clumsy way while despising the backwardness of this method.

Zhao Huniu saw the trap somewhere deeper in the mountains.
I don't know what kind of trap it is,

But when Zhao Huniu saw it, there was a snake tied to it.

The snake is an ordinary grass snake, a non-venomous species, and it is tightly bound by the trap. Although it is not dead yet, it seems that it has farted and given up struggling.
Its belly is still bulging,

I don't know what I ate.

Zhao Huniu saw that the grass snake stopped. The grass snake was as long as a human's arm, which is not considered as long as the snake can grow.
She watched the snake's belly swell like a balloon,

I'm afraid I ate more than one,
Little fluff of gray flowers scattered around,

Zhao Huniu looked at the quail hanging around her waist, and then at the little fluff.
Ah, it turns out that the snake ate quail.

How many dogs did you eat to get fat like this?

The girl bent down to free the snake from the trap, tried, but failed.

Only then did she discover the ingenuity of the trap design,

Although it doesn't look very obvious, it is covered with soft grass,

But if some small animals accidentally step on it, it is absolutely impossible to break free.

Moreover, the traps are formed in a circle, and more than one can be caught.

Zhao Huniu tried it. Unless the snake was torn in half, it was unlikely that it would be able to get it out of the trap.
I think this trap probably caught a lot of quails, but the passer-by mistakenly thought it was a gift from heaven.
After a full meal, he took his own life into it.

But who put this trap here?Although there is not only Brassica Village surrounded by Pitian Mountain, the only way up the mountain is inside Brassica Village.
I rarely meet people from other villages.

Moreover, such an exquisite trap design must be designed by experienced hunters.
don't know who...

"Hey, what are you doing there?"

Just as Zhao Huniu was thinking, a rough male voice sounded behind her; Zhao Huniu turned around,

Seeing the man standing not far from her, she knew him,

It was the well-known hunter in the village, Zhao Zheng.

Seeing that it was Zhao Huniu, Zhao Zheng was taken aback for a moment; then he was relieved,
Just now, looking at her back, she looks like a girl,
Zhao Huniu is the only girl around here who dares to go up the mountain alone with ease.Seeing that it was her, Zhao Zheng was not so surprised.

"It turned out to be your child,"

"Four uncles,"

Seeing that it was Zhao Zheng calling her, Zhao Huniu nodded and said hello.

Zhao Zheng and Zhao Huniu are related,
If we talk about it,
The mother of Zhao Huniu's body should be called Zhao Zhengyi's brother.

It was the first time that Zhao Zheng was able to look at Zhao Huniu's appearance so carefully.
With my cousin who chose the house,
In fact, they are seven to eight points alike.

Fortunately, people say that a daughter is like a father; but Zhao Huniu is not like that,

Not bad.

That Zhao Cunwu, whose appearance is really not outstanding, always looks at the submissive, Zhao Zheng always looks down on him.

The girl in front of me was standing there,

I once heard that a scholar from outside the village said a word, "slim and elegant"?
Can this look be called slim?

Probably not.

Look at this child, the girl's family, the forearm with the sleeves rolled up reveals slender but strong muscle lines; the gun is behind the back and the knife is in the right hand,

Her left hand was still stained with blood, which was completely dried out.

I didn't look for something to wipe off, and just left it on the skin so unabashedly.

His dark skin doesn't quite look like the women in the village,

This black is not a black whose living conditions are not good enough to raise white,
It's black full of power.This kind of skin seems to make people not doubt her fist at all when they see it.
It hurts a lot when you hit someone.

The facial features and her mother were carved out of the same mold,

But Zhao Huniu stood there like a leopard.

How did the couple raise such a child?
