survival in the wilderness

Chapter 17 Hunting the Pika
As soon as he thought of it, Lin Yan processed all the hemp he had collected in the past month or so, and asked someone to twist it into hemp rope.

With the collective efforts of a group of people, they weaved a net out of hemp rope and planned to hunt pikas.

This time, Lin Yan insisted on going in person.

Huahong couldn't resist her, so she could only agree to take her there.

The hunting team consisted of more than 20 people, all of whom were young and strong, with only one child, Lin Yan.

Using flammable thatch, leaves, and animal fat, Lin Yan made a simple torch and took it with him.

Everyone brought two big baskets, and Lin Yan sat in one of the black soil baskets.

I saw several kinds of plants and trees that were not included on the road, which increased a little contribution value.

Lin Yan thought, if you really want to go out more, when will you be able to accumulate enough contribution points when you stay at home, and you need a lot of contribution points to open more rooms.

After walking for a mile, I arrived at the hunting ground.

The ground is full of holes for pikas, covered by weeds, and if you walk in them, you will accidentally fall into the holes and trip over them.Lin Yan asked the hunting team to find a larger hole, and then find out all the small holes that were marked out.

She and eight people stood guard at the entrance of the big cave, and waited with their nets stretched.

Everyone else broke off some twigs and green grass and started making smoke.When the smoke comes out, use the big leaves to fan the inside of the hole.

After the smoke started to rise, Lin Yan said, "Fix the net, it should be here soon."

The eight people immediately raised their spirits and worked hard secretly.If a pika really came out of the hole and got into the net, they would be able to hold it.

After waiting for less than 10 minutes, a fat pika suddenly rushed into the net.The strength is great, but fortunately there are so many of them, otherwise it is really possible for the pika to run away with the net.

The eight people were just about to burst into laughter, and they caught a live pika so easily, which is worth celebrating.Then, they stared dumbfounded at the next scene.

With the first one, the pikas rushed out of the hole one by one as if fleeing for their lives, and got into the big net that had been set up long ago.

The escaped pika had great strength and ran rampant in the net, trying to escape.

The eight people shouted for help as they worked hard.

People guarding the entrances of other caves rushed over to see what was strange.

Black Earth was stunned.As the most outstanding warrior of the tribe, he could catch the fleeing pika and hunt down the fattest pika, but never had such a record.

Seeing that the net was full of pikas, and there were pikas rushing out of the hole, Lin Yan immediately shouted: "Quickly close the net."

If you don't collect the net, it will be a waste of time when the net is broken.

The person pulling the net is busy collecting the net.

The others came back to their senses and hurried to catch the pika that slipped through the net.

It was a lot of work, and there were only six pikas that could be caught, including two pikas.

Look at the pikas crowded in the net, everyone is staring at the net with enthusiasm.

This is a sharp weapon for hunting pikas. As long as they cooperate well, the harvest in a short while is worth as many days as before.

The hunting team also pays attention to cooperation in hunting, besieging and chasing pikas together.But compared with the net in front of me, it's not enough.

Heitu said eagerly: "Quickly count how many there are."

The naked eye can see that there is a big harvest, but I still want to know how much there is.

Heitu caught them from the net with his own hands, and counted them while catching them. The ones he caught were handed over to others to bind his limbs with the fine hemp rope he had prepared long ago.

Lin Yan smiled, hunting is actually not difficult.As long as the method is proper, it is quite easy to want to eat meat.

The most difficult thing now is how to make meat better.

After catching all the pikas in the net, Heitu's hands were shaking with excitement, and the more he counted, the louder his voice became.

"1, 2..."

It has been almost three months, and everyone has learned to count well.Almost everyone knows the numbers up to one hundred.

A total of twelve pikas were hunted, six of them were big ones, and the remaining six were pikas born more than one month old.

Heitu and the others yelled excitedly, and really didn't know how to describe their mood at the moment.

With this good idea, what else do they have to worry about.

Next, without Lin Yan's participation, Heitu asked Huahong to take her to play, and the others started casting nets to hunt in full swing.

After casting the net three times in a row, dozens of pikas were harvested, and all the talents returned with a full load.

Everyone is smiling, this time the bumper harvest is enough for them to eat for several days.

Everyone who participates in the hunt can get more than two.

Lin Yan was also very satisfied. Hua Hong hugged her and walked back and forth with the hunting team.

She finally saw the world clearly for the first time.

Looking from a distance, it is lush and lush, with dense bushes and tall trees dotted among them.The weeds on the ground grow very high, all over one meter.

People are in it, tightly blocked by vegetation, and it is easy to get lost.

There are trees blocking it, so you can't see further, and you can't see mountains and so on.

She felt that this place should be a flat area, but how big it was was still waiting to be discovered later.

There are a lot of holes on the ground, which should be dug by pikas. There are definitely a lot of pikas growing in this area.

The species here are very rich. In less than three hours, she discovered more than a dozen new plants, which increased a lot of contribution value.

Although the tribes occupy a large area, they are all distributed along the banks of the Sun River in a long strip shape with similar species.

It turns out that if you want to contribute value, you have to go out and walk around frequently.

With a good harvest, the hunting team walked back contentedly and arrived at Lin Yan's house first.

She had someone make the net, and everyone asked Lin Yan and Hua Hong to pick the prey first, and they could have as many as they wanted.

Hua Hongle kept smiling all the way, letting her daughter choose.

She has known for a long time that her daughter is powerful.

Lin Yan didn't refuse, and cheerfully picked two pika cubs, and another fat one.Let them divide the rest.

She told everyone that the cubs can be raised, can grow meat, and can be eaten when they want to eat.

There are only two raised in the family, and they were given by the black soil. One is black and the other is white. They have grown very big and can be eaten long ago.This is no secret in the neighborhood.

Some people in the tribe have followed suit.

After a while, everyone divided the prey and went home happily.

A dark young man was left behind. He looked at Lin Yan, pointed in one direction and asked, "Can I move to your house?"

Lin Yan looked over, it was near the outer area, west.She nodded: "of course, you can come if you want, there is no one there."

The man smiled, "My name is Mao Mu, and I will bring A Niang over."

Both Lin Yan and Hua Hong welcomed Mao Mu with smiles.

The place here is too big, and the more people there are, the better.

So far, Lin Yan's family has neighbors on three sides.

Mogi was reserved for the west side.

To the south is Lao Hei, and to the north is Ye Zi's house.

However, each house is at least ten meters away from each other, and weeds are everywhere in the middle, so it doesn't look like a place where people live.

As for the east side, it is close to the Sun River, with dense trees, unlike this one.The terrain is slightly protruding and the vegetation is low, making it easy to dig holes.

On the east side, Lin Yan found some open space and sprinkled the seeds of juma. It has grown tall and borne fruit in two months.After a while, you will be able to harvest.

Lin Yan's house has changed a lot. A stone slab is laid in front of the cave, about a dozen square meters. It looks bare and there are no weeds growing. Everyone loves to gather here when they have nothing to do.
