The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 46

Chu Ying tied several layers of sackcloth around her knees, and then took a big special straw brush and brushed the slightly heated and melted paint on the floor. Although it had some smell, it dissipated relatively quickly.Old people often say that raw lacquer is as clean as oil, and its precious light shines on the head; it penetrates three points thick into wood, and the luster lasts forever. Chu Ying didn't waste so long kneeling on the floor brushing it when she looked at the shiny floor.

When the lacquer was good on the floor, Chu Ying opened the doors and windows, and she made thin ropes with straw outside. The small animals also became active in spring, and Chu Ying thought about laying a few more traps. Take the sheet and rope, and find some trails with animal tracks in the small woods.

When she found it, Chuying looked on the road to see if there was any elastic sapling. Under the sapling of Chuying, she cleaned up the fallen leaves on the ground, dug a shallow hole underneath, and inserted bamboo pieces on both sides of the hole. Putting a piece of wood against the bamboo piece on top of the hole, Chu Ying broke off the branches and broke them into small pieces of wood with the same length, and placed them on the wood next to the bamboo piece.

Then one end of the completed loop is tied to a short piece of wood, and the extension line of the noose is tied to a slightly curved branch. Stuck in the middle of the semicircle, as long as an animal steps on the arranged wooden sticks, the mechanism stick will be pulled out of the semicircle, and the animal that stepped on the trap will be pulled into the air by the branches.

This kind of hanging bow only needs bamboo and small wooden sticks, and it is relatively simple to operate. Chu Ying pressed on the row of wooden sticks with her hand, and when she closed it, she was hoisted by the ring. Lightly spread fallen leaves on it, and then use branches to mess up the traces of walking by yourself.

Chu Ying then placed 9 traps, and made cross scratches on the trees next to the traps. Chu Ying, who was not surrounded by big trees, took small stones and placed them in a triangle shape, which was convenient for reminding herself not to touch the traps by mistake, and for herself Find where the trap is.

Pheasants or rabbits in these traps can fall off as soon as they are stepped on. Crickets and grasshoppers will not trigger traps if they jump up. If you want to catch bigger prey, you have to bend down a tree. This is the walkway for small animals. Yes, but in order to have a higher success rate, Chu Ying sprinkled chestnut powder on the trap.

When I got home, I saw that the raw lacquer hadn't dried yet, so I took a knife, flint, and a basket to go to the foot of the mountain to see if there were any fungi growing.Before arriving at the foot of the mountain, I saw many women and children picking wild vegetables in the field. Chu Ying didn't know these wild vegetables, so she watched what they cut. Most of them were leafy vegetables of different shapes. Chu Ying cut them. Some can be regarded as a change of taste.

When I walked into the foot of the mountain, I felt obviously colder, and the air humidity gradually increased.Chu Ying cut down a small tree, cut off the upper branches, put the knife in a split at one end, and fixed the knife to the wood with the thin vines she found. Chu Ying was afraid that she would encounter wild boars .

The wild boar has a strong body, its skin rolls in muddy water or rubs resin to form a solid armor, its teeth are also sharpened, and its explosive power is amazing, it can run 40 kilometers per hour, and because the wild boar has a large head, the tendons in the head Well-developed, the bite should not be underestimated.

Chu Ying looked at her small body, which was not enough to match the wild boar's teeth. Chu Ying listened to all directions and carefully observed the aisle on the ground and the surrounding environment. If the meat of the wild boar was more delicious, maybe it would not be seen. Become a master on the mountain.I have eaten wild boar before, because wild boars often exercise with more lean meat, and roasted wild boar tastes like eating bark.

And domestic pigs just don't exercise, so gluttony and lethargy become other people's dinner. Chu Ying often reminds herself to exercise more and not to sleep too much, otherwise she will be instantly killed by a stronger opponent at that time.

Chu Ying saw a few small clusters of fungus growing on some rotten wood, Chu Ying carved a triangle on the tree next to the rotten wood, and continued to search, carving three paths on the tree at intervals along the way, That way you won't get lost when you go back.Walking in, I saw more fungus growing on the rotten wood, but it still didn't grow up in spring.

Some small white oyster mushrooms grow together on some rotten wood. Chu Ying only knows some common ones, and doesn’t touch the others. Pick some slightly larger oyster mushrooms and put them in the basket, Chu Ying Continue to walk into the mountain, but after seeing some scratches on the tree for a while, I immediately turned around and walked back.

These scratches are not man-made, they are obviously left by the skinning of wild boars, and Chu Ying also saw the furry feces of wild boars, which looked relatively fresh, there should be wild boars around here, and her small body is not wild boars at all It is better for the opponent to hurry up.

Chu Ying marked an X on the tree trunk by the side of the road, so that she would not go this way next time.But when Chu Ying heard the sound of Xixisuo, she turned her head and saw a large wild boar sticking its head out from behind the tree.

Chu Ying hurriedly faced the wild boar, trying to control the tension in her heart, not to make eye contact with it, otherwise it would think that she was brave enough to provoke it, and Chu Ying faced it the first time to prevent it from rushing to attack her.In the law of survival of nature, the one whose back is facing is the prey.

Chu Ying is not afraid of encountering groups of wild boars. Groups of wild boars have a sense of security and will not attack humans casually, but this wild boar traveling alone does not seem to have such good intentions, and it is a boar with big tusks. As the saying goes There are two pigs and tigers. In terms of danger, wild boars are more dangerous than tigers.

Wild boars are afraid of fire. It should be said that ordinary animals are afraid of fire, but Chu Ying just carried the flint and did not start a fire. Now this situation cannot start a fire.Chu Ying looked to the left, looked at the wild boar still in place from the corner of her eye, and slowly backed away in a zigzag.

Although Chu Ying made a spear, it was only for self-defense and did not plan to hunt any animals. Chu Ying continued to back away slowly to get out of its sight, but the wild boar slowly approached step by step.

Seeing the tendency of the wild boar to charge towards him, Chu Ying quickly backed away. She tapped the tree trunk next to her with her spear and made a sound. Wild boars are more sensitive to sound. Doing this by herself is like squatting on the ground and pretending to pick up stones to beat a dog to frighten her. it.

But it still rushed over, Chu Ying quickly pointed the spear at it, for a while Chu Ying stabbed the spear into the wild boar, but the stab was not deep, the wild boar suddenly went crazy and accelerated to overtake Chu Ying.

Chu Ying threw her spear at the wild boar, then immediately found the nearest tree and climbed up, panting heavily, Chu Ying looked at the wild boar below, she didn't know how she climbed up, her hands were rubbed by the bark It hurt, but Chu Ying could only hug the tree trunk, continue to climb to the branch and sit down.

The wild boar was stabbed twice, and some blood flowed out from its body. The wild boar slammed its head against the tree Chu Ying was climbing, and every time it hit, more blood flowed out. Wild boar in anger.

Chu Ying touched her trembling calf, looked at the tree trunk that had been knocked off by the wild boar, looked at the woods on the other side, and thought that if the tree fell down, she could quickly choose a way to escape. At some tree trunk distance, at least there was hope of escape.
