Wang Jian jumped off the stone, put the things hanging on his body on the hay, and panted heavily from exhaustion.
"Let's rest under the shade of the tree for a while, drink some water before going in."
Wang Jian turned around and looked at Yao Dan and Han Xuelian, and greeted with concern, "Yao Dan, Sister Lian, can you still leave?"
"Huhu, no problem."
Yao'er was sweating profusely, holding his hands on his knees and breathing heavily.
Han Xuelian was also sweating profusely at this moment, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Wang Jian, whose face was pale.
"Everything is hanging on you and Erdan, what do I have to do?"
Halfway through, Wang Jian felt sorry for Mei and Yaodan, so he took the two Among the things in the man's hands, he also divided a kettle and hung it on Erdan.
Erdan had two kettles hanging on his body, and in his hand was a handful of horse straw weighing several dozen kilograms.
Now listening to the eldest brother’s words of concern for Aunt Han and Yao Dan, Er Dan looked at Wang Jian with a resentful look, still speaking with a strong voice.
"Brother, I take the most things, but I don't see you caring about me."
Wang Jian took two gourds, pulled off the lids and handed them to Yao Dan and Han respectively. Snow lotus.
Then he turned around and patted Erdan’s generous arm with a bad smile on his face, “Hey, Erdan, you’ll have to work hard, I’ll find you a wife next year!”
"Big arms and round waist, easy to have children."
Yes, if you're just talking, a hundred dicks are no match for Wang Jian.
Seeing Erdan's aggrieved look, Han Xuelian walked up behind Wang Jian, stretched out her jade hands and pinched his waist again, with a tone of reproach, "I always bully Erdan."
2 Dan saw someone standing up for him and looked at his elder brother with a painful look on his face with a smile.
He gently placed the horse on the ground, took a few gulps of water, and said to Han Xuelian naively, "Auntie is better."
"Auntie." Han Xuelian Let go of your hands and recite this word silently in your heart.
She has had this title for 5 years. You must know that she was the same age as Erdan when she got married.
During the break, Erdan introduced Wang Jian.
"Brother, there is a quagmire near the foot of the mountain in Wild Wolf Valley. Most of it has been dried up, but there is still a small half of the water."
"Yesterday I saw a lot of quagmire around the quagmire. There are few prey footprints, but the surrounding thorns and weeds are too dense to catch prey."
After a short rest, everyone regained some strength, and under the leadership of Erdan, a few people walked into Mao cautiously. Forest.
Although it has been dry for several months, because the terrain of this place is low in water, the vegetation inside is lush.
Erdan was walking in front of him holding the horse to open the way. He suddenly raised his hand and whispered, "Shh, everyone, don't move. There is something moving ahead."
After saying that, he whispered softly. Use the tip of the tree to push aside the grass in front of you, slowlyMove forward slowly.
Suddenly a little mouse ran out of the rustling grass and jumped to the other side.
Erdan turned around and said regretfully.
"It's a mouse."
Han Xuelian and Yao Dan wilt instantly.
They searched the entire Wild Wolf Valley, not to mention wild boars, not even a single pheasant or hare.
Finally, we reached the quagmire Erdan said, which was half the size of a basketball court.
Because the water flow from the source has become smaller, the water level has dropped drastically. Silt has been exposed in most areas, and only a small part of the sunken area still has knee-high water.
Where there is water, there will definitely be birds and animals coming to drink water. Setting traps in this environment will have the highest success rate of catching them.
"I can't walk anymore!"
Han Xuelian wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeves and exhaled loudly.
Yaodan was also very tired and sat down on a small stone, breathing hard up and down his chest.
The two old men had no choice but to rely on Wang Jian and Er Dan to set up a trap.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
It is now close to noon, and the weather is relatively hot and muggy. Most of the animals are hiding in their nests. They only come out to drink water and look for food when it is cool in the morning and evening.
Wang Jian was also very tired, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on walking around the quagmire.
After choosing a few places where weeds can be easily removed, Wang Jian said to Erdan, who still had plenty of physical strength.
"Erdan, you and I can open a few paths for pedestrians around the pool."
"Sister Lian, you and Yaodan have a rest for a while, and we will go to the fold later." Some small branches that are as long as chopsticks should be straight and not curved."
Wang Jian arranged everyone's tasks and started the arduous work of opening the road with a kitchen knife.
Erdan is much more direct in doing things. He grabs a handful of grass with both hands and pulls it up directly, which is very efficient.
After working for nearly half an hour, the six 3-meter-long paths around the pool were finally completed.
Wang Jian’s tired lips turned white and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
This body is still a little weak and weak.
It is extremely difficult to reclaim areas where weeds and tree roots are intertwined.
The trap Wang Jian makes is called a trip trap. It only requires a hemp rope, a small tree, and a few small branches. It is not difficult and can be learned in a short time.
The toughness of the hemp rope is still good. Small animals such as hares, pheasants and nian are not strong enough to break free. As for large beasts such as wild boars, you need to dig big pits to catch them.
Use cut hemp rope and tie it to a small thumb-sized tree with trimmed branches and leaves. A 3 to 4 cm long branch is tied to the hemp rope as a buckle.
A 25 cm long branch is bent into an arch on the ground and inserted deeply into the soil. The arch is about 5 cm high.
Pull down the small tree, hang it on the arch with the buckle on the hemp rope, put a wooden strip about 12 cm long on it, and place six 22 cm long wooden strips evenly in front of the wooden strip. Long wooden strips.
Finally, the hemp rope is tied into a large retractable circle to enclose the horizontal rows of branches.
The tripping sleeve is now completed.
Birds, pheasants and hares will come to the water's edge to drink water. Clearing a clean path can guide them to come down and walk. As long as they step on the wooden bars, the bent small trees will bounce back, causing numbness. The rope will quickly shrink under force, tightly trapping the animal's feet.

Setting up traps was relatively simple, and it didn’t take long for Wang Jian to lay them out on six trails.
Animals these days are relatively stupid. Under the cover of the dragnet, as long as they pass by, they can be caught accurately.
"Erdan, come over and have a rest. Later we will walk along the creek to Wild Wolf Mountain to see if we can catch some prey. We can't go back empty-handed today."
Wang Jian stood up and patted the leaves stuck to his body, then walked towards Yao Dan and the others with a kitchen knife.
"Okay." Erdan responded and found a clean stone to sit down and rest.
"Brother, can you really catch pheasants and rabbits like this?"
Yaodan sat on a tree not high from the ground, shook his feet, and drank a few gulps. Big mouthful of water.
What he knows about hunting is chasing after the prey with a bow and arrow and shooting at it, or stabbing it down with his second brother's horse spear.
Han Xuelian, who was sitting on the root of an old tree, beat her calf hard and looked at the tired Wang Jian who was half dead and said to Yaodan with a smile, "Yaodan, if you can't catch pheasants and rabbits, I will sell your eldest brother." "
Yaodan naturally knew that Aunt Han was bluffing, and grinned stupidly.
Wang Jian stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, grabbed the water bottle and drank a few gulps with his head tilted back, and said with a bit of firmness in his tone.
"I'm sure I can catch it. As long as the water in this pool doesn't dry up, the prey will come to drink."
I'm used to three meals a day, so I won't be hungry for this lunch. Panic.
Wang Jian poured water into his mouth, and instantly a feeling of coolness and comfort spread throughout his body.
After resting for a while and regaining some strength, the four of them continued walking up the mountain along the creek.
Erdan walked in front holding a horse to clear the way, while Wang Jian held a kitchen knife to cut off the rear.
Entering the virgin forest-like mountains, there are dangers everywhere.
