Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 57—Chain traps

Welikro felt that she was going crazy, and he never thought about catching pheasants and rabbits like this. Yesterday afternoon he and Claude made a total of more than 100 sets, and then divided into 14 groups, each group of 10 sets of links, and then set these serial sleeves under the bushes and grass nests, and finally with a stronger vine to tie these sets on the root of the tree, Claude And threw some grass seeds on those sleeves or something …

It was a play, and Welikro thought so. But looking at Claude so carefully weaving the cover, he did not help, the two spent nearly two hours to get the so-called cover trap. Welikro was still thinking about sleeping at night. If Claude finds out that these traps are not used at all, I will not be disappointed. How can I comfort him?

So Welikro didn't mention the traps in the post after school today. Anyway, after school, Claude and the Claude secretly went to see it. If you don't have anything, you can help Claude to wait like a rabbit, and be patient with a shot to kill a rabbit or a pheasant. In general, don't let Claude go back empty-handed.

But Borkal was curious to ask Claude about the harvest that went there yesterday. Claude said that he only shot a rabbit, but he laid a lot of traps there, and after school in the afternoon, he saw if there was any gain…

This is to evoke the curiosity of Borkal and Eriksson, the future of the great captain even put his own on the dock on the soon to complete the small fishing boat also ignored, must follow together to see, because Claude vowed to say that he laid down those sets of traps must be very effective, to ensure that there is harvest, In spite of Welikro's face, he lamented his talkative expression.

But it turns out that Welikro is wrong. The sleeve traps under Claude are not easy to use, but they are so good. Almost every set of traps has been harvested. Five rabbits and four pheasants were entangled in the cover for almost a day and a night. They struggled to dying, and they could only watch as they fell into the hands of these two-legged beasts. ……

Fourteen sets of covers, except for the two groups intact, nothing else, the other three groups are broken state, it is obvious that these three sets of traps also caught the prey, but under the deadly struggle of the prey, the cover was broken and the prey escaped. Live. The remaining nine sets of traps did not live up to Claude's expectations and provided him with nine prey.

Welikro looked at the arquebus in her hand and murmured: "I knew that we didn't need to get any arques. Every sky hand came over and put some covers. The next day, when we came over empty-handed to get the prey, it became…"

Borkal and Eriksson then kneeled down to help Claude, untied the rabbits and pheasants from the cover, and tied the feet of these prey with the rope from Claude. All the prey are struggling, and they are powerless to let these two-legged beasts toss.

"Claude, how come you have this trap?"Eriksson asked curiously.

“Hehhuh”Claude smiled: "This is the benefit of reading more books. I have seen a travel note in the mainland, saying that there is an island in the north of the mainland. When people catch those seabirds, they often spread a large net of fish on the sand, and then sprinkle those small fish and shrimp on them to attract those seabirds. Go down to eat. Because it is sand, the seabirds fall down a lot, and some of the seabird's claws pass through the grid of the net. When the seabirds fell, they shouted and rushed over. As a result, some of the seabird's claws were entangled in the net, and they were caught.

This matter was passed on to the mainland by the merchants, so some smart hunters used the same method to hunt those migratory birds. They laid the nets on the grass or on the mud, put the food that the migratory birds loved on the fishnet, and waited for the birds to eat when they rushed over. Every time there were always one or two migratory birds’ claws caught by the net. Into the hands of hunters.

However, this fishnet trap has some shortcomings for hunters. First, the cost is large. A fishnet is in the grass because the prey struggles and breaks quickly, and it is not worth the loss for the hunters. Second, the migratory birds know the lesson because they have been arrested for the same kind. They don’t dare to come down to see things like fish nets on the ground. Third, accidents are easy to occur in the grasses of the mountains, and the nets are often destroyed by the large beasts.

Later, a clever hunter tried to imitate the mesh of the fish net and weaved it into a chain cover to catch the small animals such as the pheasant hare. The result was a good harvest. That travel story recorded this story, and also described the practice of this chain trap, so I thought about experimenting yesterday. I didn’t expect the book to be true. This trap is really against pheasants and rabbits. very effective……"

Big Brother, you didn’t say that it was an experiment yesterday afternoon. Instead, you have a well-prepared look. I have helped you make so many sets of…Welikro felt a lot of pain. Well, these two words are also what Claude usually said, but at this time Welikro thinks that the words are very good.

"Right, Claude, is there a trap now?"Welikro asked.

“Um?Claude indulged for two seconds and looked at the five rabbits and four pheasants on the ground tied with a pair of hind legs and claws. "The time is still early, let's arrange some more." But I can't be here. The two sets of good sets don't move, just throw them here. Let's go inside again. At least we have to turn over the mound in front. The farther away from here, the better…"

So the four people took the harvest and walked for a long time. Looking at the gentle slopes and mountains in front, Claude finally nodded. "Let's here, there are many bushes and grass nests here. There must be more harvest tomorrow than today. ”

Everyone started looking for those thin and tough vines to weave the cover.

"Why don't you have the ropes you brought? More solid than these vines…"Eriksson is a bit puzzled.

"If you use the rope that I bring, rabbits and pheasants will consciously avoid these things."Claude replied: "Don't think rabbits and pheasants are so stupid, although they are really benzene, but this is still there. The rope-studded sleeves are thrown into the grass or the ground, and the surrounding environment is inconspicuous. Rabbits and pheasants can also distinguish that this is something foreign, and they will be alert and not close. ”

Claude picked up a set of vines: "And this vine made a condom, originally here, we put it into a sleeve, more than 10 placed on the ground into a piece, rabbits and pheasants do not have the slightest alarm, they will think that these shrubs fell or originally grew on the ground, no scruples to step on the top." Then as long as they have one foot or a paw falling into these loopers, they will tighten when they go forward, and then they will be scared and rushed forward. As a result, you all saw it, and you were exhausted and lying. We caught it. ”

The people are more powerful, and the last four people have arranged more than forty sets of chain traps, mostly under the bushes. Claude was inspected in groups and sprinkled with some grass seeds and dirt collected. Grass seeds are lured food, and soil is used to cover people's smell.

"Okay, let's go back. I will see how much I have gained after tomorrow afternoon."Claude said to the waist, just squatting and squatting to check so many traps, can be tired of him: "Do you take it yourself, how about a rabbit and a pheasant?"

Claude pointed to the rabbits and pheasants on the ground.

Borkal shook his head: "Claude, this is the prey of you and Welikro yesterday. You should be divided together. If there is something to gain tomorrow, we will not be late tomorrow."

Claude blinked: "What nonsense, we are friends, today is the first, tomorrow will have tomorrow. Besides, I can't finish it when I take it back, Welikro, what do you say? ”

Welikro snorted and replied: "You have the final say, anyway, this house has a row of smoked squats under my house. I am tired of eating. I don't care how much."

Borkal smiled bitterly: "No, Claude, you don't know that the old pub's Pied is buying a pheasant at a high price. He wants to live, and your four are in line with his acquisition requirements."

"What price does he have?"Claude asked.

"A riya cable, or two more sunars, this depends mainly on the situation."

"He wants a pheasant? Does the rabbit want him? ”

"It should be…"Borkal is also not sure: "The last time I saw him standing at the back door of the pub and a mountain people, the pheasant and the rabbit were caught by the mountain dog. The pheasant is still alive. He gave the mountainer a riya cable. The rabbit died. He didn't want it. The mountain people said that it would be cheaper to go to the sunar. Pied shook his head and said that he could live, he couldn’t die…"

Rabbit three sunar is also three yuan, pheasant can sell ten yuan, the price difference is too big.

Claude looked at Welikro and Welikro was very understanding: "Take it and sell it, Borkal is right, tomorrow's harvest will be divided tomorrow."

So everyone spent an hour down the mound out of the forest, just happened to meet a carriage to the town. Borkal used the price of a rabbit to let the driver agree to send the four to the old pub.

Pied knows Claude, although he hasn't said anything, but he has seen it several times.

What makes Pied strange is Claude. How did they catch these rabbits and pheasants, not like the hunting dogs, even if Claude and Welikro were carrying arquebuses behind them, but these rabbits and pheasants had no wounds. It is no spirit, and it is alive.

"Like this, the pheasant is a riya, the rabbit is a sunar one, can you see it?"Pied said.

At this time Borkal out, he used the last time he saw Piede to the mountain to buy pheasant scene fully shows Piede at this time out of the purchase price is how unreasonable and dishonest, and soon let Piede admit his careless mistake, put Claude These well-lived prey were compared to those caught by hounds, and in order to express their apologies, Piede took the initiative to raise the purchase price of a pheasant by a sunar, while the Hare added a Sunar purchase price.

Claude decided to make a deal and left a rabbit to take home. In the following month, Claude decided to do his best to let Mr. Morssen eat rabbit meat every day, until he ate it.

What Pied did not expect was that the next day, Claude gave him seventeen pheasants and eleven rabbits. It was the same as yesterday, and there was no scar on his body. He lived well and was exhausted and weak. This made Pied very doubtful whether the four teenagers were all Scuds. They chased the rabbits and pheasants and ran them all the way.

However, Pied did not say anything, and it was all simply collected at yesterday's price. Claude still brought a rabbit home.

On the third day, Claude came again, this time eleven pheasants and seven rabbits…

The fourth day is six pheasants and eight rabbits…

On the fifth day, Claude came late and seemed to be tired. It seemed to have gone a long way, but they brought fourteen pheasants and nine rabbits back.

Pied finally spoke up. He was euphemistically saying that there are still many live hares and pheasants in the pub. It took two labors to feed these rabbits and pheasants. So Pied hopes that Claude will not be sent to the pheasants and rabbits after the acquisition is completed.

Claude is also relieved. The mounds and forests in the southern suburbs of the town are now no longer seeing pheasants and rabbits. In order to gain, they are also running farther and farther. Today they took them out of the mountains. About an hour…
