1942, I lived on hunting

Li Hao lay in the tent with his eyes open, staring at the sky outside and thinking wildly. When he was alone, his thoughts were always in a mess. The sudden changes in the world and the times made him feel at a loss. He had been in this era for three days and he always felt uncomfortable. But it was normal. Anyone would feel uncomfortable when they went from a busy city to a deserted and dangerous wilderness.

I don’t know how long it took, but the morning star in the east shone brightly and the sky gradually became brighter.

Li Hao came out of the tent and when he put on his shoes, he was surprised to find that his feet had grown a little bigger. Now he didn't need to wrap them with such thick cloth strips, so he simply added two layers of socks to save the trouble of wrapping them with cloth strips.

He put on his shoes and stood up, stepped on the ground to feel it. After wearing four layers of socks, there was still some space in the shoes, but it was okay. If he didn't walk far, he wouldn't have to worry about his feet getting rubbed. The clothes on his body no longer looked so loose. With his body raised and the cuffs on the trouser legs and sleeves, it felt quite fitting, which meant that he had obviously grown taller!

I have to say that the effect of the gene enhancement liquid is really amazing, but if Li Hao were to do it again, Li Hao could only say thank you (Q) and I (M) am not (D)!!!

After stretching his hands and feet on the platform, Li Hao felt full of energy after recovering. He felt like he was back in his childhood, back to the age when he was full of energy, never tired, and even had to jump when walking. Li Hao didn't know how to use his excess energy at this moment, so he decided to check the trap early.

Today he wanted to go to the water platform first. He sweated a lot due to the pain during the genetic enhancement yesterday. He drank a lot of water when he woke up last night. Now his water bottle is empty. He can replenish some water while checking the trap.

This time he climbed down the platform easily, and in a few swift steps he reached the bottom of the valley. It was not yet completely light, but the road was already clear, and Li Hao walked non-stop towards the water platform.

Before he had walked far, he heard the chirping of sparrows. Li Hao immediately took out a slingshot from his pocket, loaded it with steel balls, held it in his hand, and moved towards the place where the sound came from.

A group of early-rising sparrows were making a lot of noise. No one knew why these birds were always so noisy. They were hopping around in the bushes like a group of old ladies arguing and cursing in the street.

Li Hao was not going to be polite with them. He pulled the slingshot and aimed at them before shooting the steel ball. The steel ball flew at a sparrow that had landed on a branch at an extremely fast speed. The steel ball squeezed the air and made a whooshing sound. The sparrow was hit before it could react. Due to the great power of the steel ball, the feathers of the sparrow were blown apart.

The other sparrows didn't understand what was happening yet, they were still jumping and chirping. Li Hao quickly replaced the steel ball and pulled the slingshot again. This time, Li Hao aimed at two sparrows that were close to each other to increase his hit rate. He aimed and let go, and with a snap, another sparrow fell from the branch.

This time the sparrows finally understood what was happening. With a loud bang, the flock of sparrows took off and flew away into the distance.

The bushes where the sparrow had just stopped were very dense, and there were many wild jujube trees mixed in. In order to pick out the sparrow, Li Hao used his hands to push aside the messy branches while crawling into the bushes to search for it, and he also had to avoid the thorns of the wild jujube trees. He finally picked up the sparrow that had been knocked down and put it back into the space after getting a head full of dead leaves.

Li Hao, who emerged from the bushes with a head full of straw and dead leaves, looked very disheveled. If it weren't for his neat clothes, he would have been mistaken for a homeless person with his disheveled appearance.

After cleaning his head and body, Li Hao went to the platform to get water. There were no animals on the way, so Li Hao put away his slingshot and started to climb up. Yesterday, he had put the fox and the trap back into the space and did not put them back, so he walked directly to the platform without any worries.

A series of traps were set up at the crevice, and the traps caught two turtledoves, both of which were caught up to their necks. They were already cold now. Li Hao didn't know if these two turtledoves were the ones that led him to the water source. If they were, it would be a bit of a vengeance, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. These two prey didn't bring him a surprise, but instead made him a little uneasy.

However, since Banjiu had already died, there was no way to revive him, so he had no choice but to take back the space.

Li Hao untied the trap and took back the space. He didn't want to set traps here anymore! Although this decision was a bit of a last-ditch effort, Li Hao still had his own set of principles. He would never repay anyone who helped him or treated him well, even if it was an animal!

Li Hao leaned forward to get some water and drank it. After he filled a pot of water, he poured it directly into the space, and then took another pot and poured it into the space. This time he wanted to collect enough water. He didn't want to run back and forth all the time. Today, if conditions allowed, he would go a little further to check it out. He didn't want to waste time getting water.

The water flow was relatively small, so it took a long time to collect water. During this time, he traded the sparrow to the system in exchange for 20 points, and bought another steamed bun to eat, this time with leeks and meat filling. He collected water until the sun was high in the sky, and estimated that it would not be a problem to collect water for a month.

Li Hao hadn't washed for several days and was very dirty. He opened the mall and went to the supplies section to check the prices of underwear and toiletries.

A set of the simplest pure cotton underwear requires 30 points, a set of thickened thermal underwear or wool sweaters and wool pants requires 100 points, a plastic washbasin requires 30 points, a towel requires 20 points, a set of toothbrushes and toothpaste requires 30 points, and a bar of soap requires 20 points.

With the principle of saving as much as possible, Li Hao only bought a set of underwear, a set of toothpaste and toothbrush, and a towel, spending a total of 80 points.

First, I took out my toothbrush and toothpaste and brushed my teeth, then washed my face. Finally, I quickly took off my clothes, wet the towel and wiped my body, changed into new underwear, and quickly put on my coat. The weather in late autumn was too cold, and I didn't dare to take a shower, for fear of catching a cold. I didn't wash my old underwear and just put it away.

After washing up, he moved around to warm up his body quickly, doing some jumping jacks, high leg lifts, and push-ups. When he felt he had done enough, he got off the platform. He also had to check the traps in the field!

He trotted all the way to the field, looking around to see if there was any prey he could shoot with his slingshot. He saw another squirrel, but the local squirrels were too rude and disappeared without saying hello! What a clever little ghost!

When I got to the edge of the field, I followed the old routine, leaning down and slowly approaching to observe if there was any prey. I guess animals don't dare to appear in the open fields at dawn, and I didn't see any animals today.

This time I checked the traps one by one from near to far. I don't know if my luck ran out yesterday, but several of them were empty. There's nothing I can do. Trap hunting is like this. You don't know which ones will hit and which ones won't. Sometimes you are very optimistic about a location and set up traps perfectly, but you just can't catch anything. On the contrary, sometimes you feel that the location is average and you just set up a trap randomly, but you can catch something directly.

Li Hao had no choice but to continue to check. After checking seven or eight more times, he found a rabbit in a trap. The rabbit was not big and was caught in the trap. At first, it lay quietly beside the bushes, using its own protective color to camouflage. When it saw Li Hao approaching and discovered it, it stopped camouflaging and took a step to escape. Fortunately, the wire rope provided by the system was of good quality, otherwise it might have escaped.

Li Hao now has experience. He stepped on the wire rope to restrict the rabbit's movement, then untied the lasso and put the rabbit into the space.

After rearranging the traps, he checked ahead. The next few traps were a little far apart, and they were basically traps. One was empty, two were empty, and when he got to the fourth one, Li Hao was happy.

There was a yellowish-brown animal trapped in the trap. It had a short and thick neck, black and white vertical stripes on its head, very small eyes, white hair on the edges of its ears, four short legs, and long claws. It turned around from time to time and made warning sounds of "bull, bull" to Li Hao.

This is a badger. Badgers are omnivorous animals that mainly feed on plant tubers, fruits, earthworms, insect larvae and pupae, and small mammals. This animal is very harmful to crops. Badgers spend the entire autumn preparing for hibernation, constantly looking for food to replenish their accumulated fat. A badger can easily destroy almost all the peanuts in an acre of land in one autumn. People don't like it. But everything has its pros and cons. In the past, the old people believed that badger oil was a special medicine for burns and scalds, and eating badger meat could improve chronic gastrointestinal diseases. So from ancient times to the present, people would hunt them whenever they had the chance.

Badgers are animals that are extremely good at digging holes. The underground caves they build have complex structures and they repair their caves every year. Some caves can be dozens of meters long and have branches in them. It is not known whether they are to confuse the enemy or for some other purpose. Usually there is a nest made of hay, leaves, etc. at the end of the cave.

It usually calls "ah-ah-ah", but when it is in danger or injured, it will call "wa-er-wa-er", which sounds like a baby crying. If it is at night, a timid person would probably be scared to death and run away.
