1942, I lived on hunting

Li Hao observed carefully, trying to find the paths that rabbits often move around. It's not that he didn't find a path that looked like an animal's path, but after looking again and again, he found that every path in the grass looked like a rabbit path, which was very puzzling.

This seven or eight mu field is in the shape of a long strip. The side where the field connects to the hillside is two to three hundred meters long. There are probably more than 30 paths leading from the grass to the field. Which one is the rabbit's path?

Li Hao sighed speechlessly. It is easy to talk about it on paper, but reality will soon teach you a lesson. He thought seriously again. It seemed that no one had ever introduced how to distinguish it. There was no other way. I had to set traps on every path. No matter how many paths you take, I would set them up for you.

He cut 20 more wire ropes about one meter long and made them into snares, which he fixed on thicker bushes or branches beside the path. He set one wherever he saw a path. When he came across a wider path that was obviously not suitable for a snare, he dug a hole with an axe, placed the trap inside, and covered it with leaves and soil as camouflage.

Due to lack of experience, it took a long time and by the time all the traps were set it was already dark.

He didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly left the field. He also had to find a safe place to spend the night!

Li Hao planned to find a high platform to set up a tent for the night. According to the videos he usually watched, being high up could effectively prevent attacks from wild animals. There was no shortage of wild animals in the Taihang Mountains at that time, and even large cats were not uncommon. He only had a hunting knife and an axe. If he was attacked by a large cat in the dark night, with his small body, it would probably be a 30-70 chance! In three minutes, the wild animal was 70% full!

He remembered that on the way here, there was a larger concave platform in the middle of the cliff on the right. There was no need to worry about falling rocks from the mountain, and it was not difficult to climb. He could climb there relatively easily by following some rocks. He had to hurry up and go there to take a look.

Taking advantage of the last ray of light in the western sky, Li Hao climbed onto the platform. He didn't have time to observe carefully. He took a rough look and found that it was not a wild animal's nest. He was relieved because there was no feces or hair. He broke off a few thorns and started to clean the ground. Fortunately, it was summer and he didn't have to worry about insects. He just had to clear the dead branches and gravel to one side. After clearing a certain space, he immediately received the tent and started to set it up.

The tent is not big. When unfolded, it is about the same size as a yoga mat. It can only accommodate one person and is about 1.3 meters high. The tent frame is made of high-strength alloy. I don't know what it is made of. After it was erected, I pressed it with my hands and it was very tough. Li Hao didn't use the matching ground stakes. He tied the pull rope to the small tree next to the platform. There was a corner without a tree, so Li Hao moved a big stone and tied it to it.

After setting up the tent, Li Hao couldn't wait to get in and try it out. He could stretch his legs easily when lying down, but the mat under the tent was too thin and hard to lie on. I guess it's not a problem to keep warm, but the thickness is not good enough and it's not soft enough, and it's probably not particularly moisture-proof.

Li Hao came out of the tent. He was going to cut some grass to spread under the tent so that he could lie more comfortably. He also cut some thorny branches such as thorny needles or jujube branches, and placed them around the platform in places that were easy to climb before going to bed at night to prevent wild animals.

Weeds were everywhere, and the hunting knife produced by the system was also very fast. In a short while, Li Hao had cut a large bundle of grass, and when it was enough, he put it into the space.

The 眪针 tree looks very similar to the 蜜甲 tree, except that the fruits and leaves are slightly different. The long thorns can even grow to more than ten centimeters, and are slightly poisonous. If you are accidentally pricked, it will hurt and itch, making you feel extremely sour and refreshing. In some places, the branches of the sour jujube are also called 眪针 because they all have long thorns. Usually in mountainous areas, people like to collect some sour jujube branches to make fences or make a fence gate.

Li Hao carefully collected some and put them into the space, then returned to the platform.

It was completely dark when he returned to the platform. Li Hao placed the thorny tree and jujube branches properly, making sure they would not be blown by the mountain wind, and then left them alone.

Loosen the drawstring of the tent, spread the grass under the tent and flatten it, then rearrange the tent and tie the drawstring. Unzip the tent and get inside to rest, lie down and try it out. It feels much better after laying the grass, it's quite soft, although it can't be compared with a spring mattress, but at this moment in the wild, you can't ask for too much.

After lying down, he put his head on his arm as a pillow. There was a big lump on the back of his head that was stabbing. Li Hao was too lazy to even adjust his posture at this moment. He didn't want to move his body at all. He stared at the top of the tent in a daze. His mind was in a mess. He remembered this and that at the same time. He didn't know why his thoughts were so messy.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Hao finally remembered that he hadn't received the mission yet! He quickly opened the mission center to receive the mission. He didn't know if there were any prey caught at this moment, and if he caught prey before receiving the mission, he didn't know if it would be considered completed.

His arm was a little numb after using it as a pillow for a long time, so he wanted to find something to use as a pillow. When he opened the space, he found that his old clothes that he had taken off before were forgotten on the small platform for fetching water. He had no choice but to roll up the hat, gloves and socks that came with his clothes and shoes together, and use them as a pillow under his head to avoid the injury on his head.

Li Hao was very tired and felt uncomfortable all over, but he couldn't sleep because of what he had experienced that day. He was going to live in the 40s, and he was a little scared. This was a cruel era! He didn't know if he could survive in this era, and if he could return to the 21st century after dying in this world. He didn't know how his original body was dealt with by the Iron Blood Warriors, and he didn't know how sad and anxious he would be if his family disappeared.

Everything is unknown, and the unknown is the most frightening thing!!!

"Ouch"

"Ouch"

On a distant mountain, a wild wolf was howling to call its own kind. It seemed that there were other wolves further away that were howling in response, adding an eerie and terrifying atmosphere to the night.

Li Hao sat up, took out some water and drank some, and the hunger in his stomach subsided a little. He felt a little stuffy, so he unzipped and opened half of the tent door, and the mountain breeze blew in with a chill.

Through the door of the tent, Li Hao saw the starry sky that he hadn't seen for a long time. The last time he saw so many stars was when he was a child. At that time, air pollution was not serious, and light pollution did not exist. The starry sky was twinkling, as if telling a romantic and mysterious legend in the universe. When he was a child, he was always intoxicated by this picture, always thinking about his existence in this vast universe, feeling that we humans are small and great, feeling the miracle of life and infinite possibilities, and imagining what kind of creatures aliens are.

There were always rustling noises outside, which made him feel uneasy. He took out his hunting knife and held it in his hand, but it did not bring him much sense of security. He did not have a light, so he could not see clearly at a distance, and he did not know what was moving outside. It could be mice, or it could be nocturnal birds, such as owls, hunting.

He didn't know how the ancients survived the long dark nights without light. Now he wanted to know so that he could learn how to survive. He thought it would be nice to have a bonfire. He might feel more at ease with a bonfire. He didn't have any fire. His original body didn't have anything to make fire. Matches were already popular in this era. He thought that if he had the chance in the future, he must get some and put them in the space.

Li Hao once saw a sentence on TikTok: Humans are social animals. Humans need social lives, and only in society can they realize their individual value and survival. This sentence seems to have been said by Aristotle or Lu Xun. Anyway, when Li Hao doesn't know who said it, he automatically attributes it to these two people. Li Hao always couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence before, but at this moment, Li Hao wants to say: I understand it!

It's really lonely to be alone, especially in the wilderness in the dark night!

It was unknown how long it had been, but Li Hao slowly closed his eyes and his breathing slowed down. The pain, hunger and fatigue of the day finally made him unable to hold on and he fell asleep.

While he was sleeping, in the canyon below his resting platform, a group of wild boars were migrating, led by a sturdy and sturdy boar weighing more than 20 kilograms. There were about 100 wild boars in the group, most of which were small wild boars weighing to kilograms, and there were four sows weighing more than kilograms. The big boar walked in front, the small wild boars walked in the middle, and the sows were at the end, forming a column. They were going to a forest deep in the canyon, where there were hazelnut trees and chestnut trees, and there were yams on the hillside to eat, which would allow them to spend the winter safely.

A North China leopard followed slightly behind. It had not found a suitable opportunity to attack before, so it had to follow the wild boars and their stored food.

A red fox was looking for birds that roosted in the bushes at night in the cliff's edge. It looked at the situation below the cliff with curiosity. If the leopard could catch the wild boar and couldn't eat it all, it would try to get a share.

An eagle owl stood on a branch on the cliff, indifferent to what was happening below. It had been busy hunting in the early morning and evening recently and was very tired. It was now catching up on its sleep with one eye open and the other closed.

Li Hao had no idea about all this.
