Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 28 The First Hunt
Deep in the forest, next to a small water bubble, Zhu Xuefeng was hiding in a tree. He had laid a hemp net between several big trees. Under the hemp net, there were scattered corn cobs bought by Zhu Xuefeng.

Animals in the forest will definitely come to drink water, and if they find corn cobs, they will definitely...

This is based on later documentaries and the method of trapping wild boar herds. Facts have proved that it is still somewhat effective.

This method allowed Zhu Xuefeng to capture two pheasants and a yellow sheep in more than three hours. Zhu Xuefeng gnawed on the steamed buns, sprinkled some chili sauce on them, and drank water from time to time. However, the steamed buns were still too dry.

Zhu Xuefeng's body was now in tatters, scratched in several places, and there were scratch marks on his arms and face.

It is indeed difficult to walk in this deep mountain. There are no roads at all in many places. It is full of various shrubs, weeds, thorns and vines. It is simply difficult to walk. Sometimes there are cliffs and cliffs, and you have to go around in a long circle to get through.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't expect the difficulty of advancing. He didn't even prepare a woodcutter. He only had a spear all over his body, and the spear became Zhu Xuefeng's weapon for clearing the way.

If you have the opportunity, you must prepare a knife, preferably like Mo Dao, which can chop, slash, open paths, and can also defend yourself and deal with wild beasts.

He was lucky along the way. He didn't see any bigger beasts. At that time, Zhu Xuefeng was a little suspicious of Uncle Niu's information.

I relied on spears to attack and forced my way forward, and finally found this place. I only saw this small blister along the way.

I really didn’t want to move anymore. I was probably already thirty miles into the mountain, and Niu Village was also separated by two hills. The chance of encountering wild animals would be higher if I went further.

It was really a rush to climb the mountain. It looked like it was not far away, just two hills, but it took Zhu Xuefeng almost a day, and there were quite a lot of detours.

In the distance, a wild boar appeared, and another one appeared, and another came from behind. Closer, a whole family came, and the biggest one was probably the head of a wild boar.

The first pig was obviously much larger, estimated to be over three hundred kilograms, the two smaller pigs were estimated to be over two hundred, and the other four or five were large and small, ranging from dozens to a hundred kilograms, and they should all be wild boar cubs.

This family is quite big, and I don't know if the hemp net can bear it. Zhu Xuefeng was a little uneasy, put away the buns, took out the spear, and held it tightly in his hand. This was Zhu Xuefeng's only weapon, and his palms were a little sweaty.

The group of wild boars finished drinking water in the small puddle but did not leave, probably because the first pig did not leave. The first pig was seen looking in the direction of Zhu Xuefeng. It must have smelled the smell of corn. Wild boars still like this stuff.

The big wild boar led the herd of wild boars in circles nearby, and it took a long time to find the right direction.

Led by the big wild boar, a group of wild boars came in force. In this forest, the wild boars had no natural enemies and were not aware of the danger at all. A group of wild boars quickly entered the ambush site.

The wild boars seemed to have no rules about who should eat first. They were swarming around the corn cobs, and no one was seen standing guard.

Several large wild boars have long tusks, which are different from domestic pigs. The pig's face is smaller and longer, not fat and has big ears. The whole body is covered with armor. This is the resin that the wild boar rubs on the trees for many years. The leaves, soil, etc., accumulated over many years, are very protective, so it is extremely difficult to kill wild boars from the front.

The wild boar family happily gnawed the bait on the ground. Looking at the situation, it was difficult to escape a few and reduce the pressure on the hemp net. It was too dense and there was no time to hesitate. If it was later, they would all be eaten. Zhu Xuefeng pulled the trigger. .

Four stones fell from the tree at the same time. The stones were all tied with hemp ropes. The hemp ropes were connected to the hemp net, driving the big net to fly under the cover. The net was still big enough, and none of the wild boars escaped. They were all caught in the net.The panicked wild boar exploded with great strength and rushed around in the net. Zhu Xuefeng did not hesitate and dropped the second net. The bigger the wild boar in the net was, the harder it struggled, and the more hemp nets were wrapped around it. It is even more difficult to get away, and it is getting tighter and tighter.

The big wild boar's constant struggle and collision made the hemp net more and more concentrated. Although the hemp net was big enough, there were still some loopholes. The little pigs on the edge were originally unable to move, but now there is hope.

The hemp net was wrapped around the struggling big pig little by little, while the hemp net wrapped around the little wild boars became less and less. Finally, the two little wild boars on the periphery successfully escaped.

Others struggled ineffectively in the net. Even the craziest big wild boar couldn't move in more and more hemp nets. After a while, it lost the space to move and had to be captured obediently.

Zhu Xuefeng put away the small wild boars, carefully put them into the space one by one, and tied their limbs one by one in the space.

The last three bigger ones were more troublesome. Zhu Xuefeng didn't dare to get too close for fear of accidents. He circled around the wild boars. After trying for a long time, he finally lost his patience and knocked them unconscious one by one. Fortunately, the wild boars couldn't even hide. .

After spending a long time, I hung up the net again, let out a long breath, climbed up the tree again, took out a boiled egg, and rewarded myself with something to eat.

At night, Zhu Xuefeng used fine hemp ropes to set up a net bed among the tree branches, close to the trunk, and tied two fine hemp ropes as safety ropes. Although it was awkward, it was safe. The night in the mountains in April was actually a bit cold, so he took it out Wrapped in a shabby quilt, fortunately my physical fitness has improved a lot, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stay at all.

It took a lot of effort to make the trip. It would take two days to go back and forth, and it would probably take another two days to get in and out of the mountains. Zhu Xuefeng planned to stay for a few more days, since there was enough food and grass anyway.

Early in the morning, with the sound of chirping, Zhu Xuefeng opened his eyes. It was another sunny day. The early morning sunshine passed through the dense woods and sprinkled dots on Zhu Xuefeng. There were so many birds, but it was a pity that he couldn't catch them. If he had a shotgun, I guess if I can shoot one, I should get a good harvest.

After untying the hemp rope tied around his waist, his body felt a little stiff, Zhu Xuefeng sat up with difficulty, observed for a while, and then climbed down from the big tree after confirming that it was safe to clean himself and relax.

I didn't dare to stay under the tree for too long. There could be an encounter here at any time. I had some breakfast and quickly climbed up the tree. It was still safe up there. I arranged the hemp net and was ready to harvest at any time. Then it was an unbearable wait.

There are usually no big ones in the morning, but there are quite a few pheasants of all kinds, but the mesh of the big net is too big to catch. Zhu Xuefeng watched the pheasants get out of the mesh a few times before and escape, not even having time to get off the tree.

The smaller mesh is on the second layer. The big net can't fall down, and the small net can't fall down. This is a design flaw. It would be too troublesome to catch a few pheasants with both nets. It would be too troublesome to rearrange the nets. Then the big guys will be disappointed. , I didn’t expect these situations, so I gained experience.

Seeing that there was still no big guy at noon, Zhu Xuefeng felt uncomfortable due to the sun, so he moved a tree branch, took out the kettle, and planned to finish lunch while he was free now.

Another herd of wild boars came in the distance, and Zhu Xuefeng dropped corn cobs again, waiting to open again.

Everything was still so perfect. With two layers of hemp nets dropped, it should be a sure thing. Zhu Xuefeng lay down and quietly waited for the wild boars to vent their strong energy. With the previous successful experience, he could now calmly watch the wild boars vent their energy.

The wild boars were still struggling wildly, looking for a chance to escape. Unfortunately, things went against their expectations and they became entangled tighter and tighter.
