1942, I lived on hunting

The morning in the mountains is lively. As soon as the sky is bright, all kinds of small animals start to make noise as if an alarm clock has rung.

First came a group of sparrows. They had spent the night somewhere yesterday and seemed to have had a good rest. Now that they were refreshed, they began to chirp non-stop. Then came a few magpies, chirping to call their friends. Finally, came a male pheasant with brilliant feathers. It slowly paced and observed the surroundings. Seeing nothing unusual, it flapped its wings and jumped onto a big rock. It wiped its mouth on the rock and adjusted its feathers, as if it was very satisfied with its appearance. It raised its head and called "cluck" and "cluck". Several female pheasants around were attracted by its heroic appearance and looked up at this conspicuous bag.

A gray squirrel was jumping around in the bushes on the cliff. It was famous for its hard work. It was looking for wild fruits that had fallen in the bushes and bringing them back to the tree hole as food for itself.

Li Hao slowly opened his eyes. He seemed to have slept in a coma last night. He was still thinking about random things with his eyes open one moment, and when he opened his eyes the next moment it was already dawn.

The pain in his body did not subside, and his head was still dizzy. His wound must have been infected. His head was throbbing with pain yesterday, and now it is starting to feel numb. I don't know if he has a fever now. His throat was extremely dry, so he took out some water and drank it, but it didn't help much.

He didn't dare to sleep anymore, fearing that he would fall asleep and never wake up. He sat up with his hands and slowly moved his arms and legs.

He would have to check the traps set at the edge of the field to see if any prey had been caught.

There will probably be some time before the 5 subsidy points are distributed. On the way, he can try to see if he can catch prey with his slingshot. Now he urgently needs points to exchange for medicines, otherwise he really can't hold on for long.

After sitting and resting for a while, he slowly got out of the tent. He didn't plan to leave the tent for now. He didn't plan to go far today and would stay near this place.

He slowly climbed down the platform, collecting the thorns and jujube branches he had arranged into the space as he went down. Then, after reaching the bottom of the valley, he put them out of the space and piled them aside for use tonight.

He took out his slingshot, loaded it with steel balls, and walked towards the field with it in his hand.

A group of sparrows landed on a clump of tall grass, chirping and looking for grass seeds to eat. Li Hao slowly approached and raised his slingshot. The sparrows sensed danger, stopped and looked at Li Hao. Li Hao pulled the slingshot, took a rough aim, and shot directly.

This time, luck was finally on Li Hao's side. Just then, a sparrow jumped from one branch to another. The steel ball originally could not hit anything, but was caught up by the sparrow.

With a "snap" sound, the sparrow was knocked over and fell down, leaving only a few feathers slowly floating and sliding to the ground.

Li Hao replaced the steel balls. The other sparrows had already flown away. He hurried to the place where the sparrow fell, searched for it, and picked up the dead sparrow. The sparrow was still warm and its nerves were still twitching. Li Hao quickly put it into the space.

Li Hao opened the system and entered the trading platform page. This time, the trading platform did not prompt that the transaction was not available. It seemed that the system page previously displayed that the transaction was not available because there was no prey.

"system"

"Good morning, Li Hao!"

"Now that I have captured the prey, should I directly put it on the trading platform for trading? Or do I have to keep it for the task?"

"You can trade directly. The system only determines whether the task has been completed. The ownership of the prey is still yours, and you can choose how to deal with it. If it is just a trade, the Iron Blood Warrior has priority. The system will now check if there are any Iron Blood Warriors interested in sparrows. If not, you can also trade directly with the system platform."

"It better be quick!"

"Okay, Li Hao!"

About 2 minutes later, the system voice sounded.

"After checking, no Iron Blood Warrior is interested in Sparrow. The system recycling price is 10 points. Do you want to recycle it?"

"Recycle."

"Okay, the prey - the sparrow has been recovered, and 10 points have been issued. Please check it, Li Hao."

"System, I'm sick now. I don't feel well. Do you have any cheaper medicine? Or you can give me the medicine first, and then deduct it after I have hunted enough prey and earned enough points? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll die before completing the task."

"I can't help you with this. You need to learn to solve it yourself."

"All right."

Li Hao closed the trading platform in disappointment and opened the food area. He decided to find something to eat to provide some energy for his body, otherwise his body's resistance would become lower and lower.

After looking through the food section, the cheapest items were steamed buns, dumplings, and white rice. They were 5 points each, enough for an adult to eat. A dish with one meat and one vegetable was a bit more expensive, requiring 15 points. A bottle of common beverage was 5 points. Only the basic nutrient liquid meal recommended by the system was the most cost-effective, 5 points could sustain the nutritional needs for a day. Looking through the once familiar delicacies, Li Hao's mouth was watering. Unfortunately, he only had 10 points and couldn't afford it. He had no choice but to exchange for a nutrient liquid meal, and finally closed the food section with great reluctance.

Looking at the liquid nutrition meal in his hand, Li Hao felt a little speechless. The system is really a pitfall. The packaging of this liquid nutrition meal looks like a bag of sucking jelly for children, especially the big pink cartoon pattern on the packaging, which makes people feel sick. A man with a mental age of more than 30 years old sucking a bag of kawaii jelly, the picture is funny, it's really too beautiful to look at!

Unscrewing the mouthpiece, Li Hao squeezed it into his mouth and ate it without hesitation. It was probably because the person who designed this nutritious meal had never eaten anything good. Not only did it taste weird, but it was also a bit sticky. When you tasted it carefully, it also had a bit of sour smell, like fermented swill. It was all for survival, otherwise Li Hao would really not be able to eat after the first bite. Li Hao mentally prepared himself while swallowing in big mouthfuls. After eating, Li Hao was a little dizzy from the strange taste, so he quickly took out some water and drank a few sips to calm down.

I have to say that the things produced by the system are really good. Not long after I finished eating it, the empty feeling in my stomach was gone and I felt better. If the taste of this nutritious meal could be adjusted, it would be perfect.

After eating, Li Hao took the slingshot and walked towards the field. On the way, he saw a gray squirrel in the bushes, but before he could approach it, the little guy cleverly disappeared.

Climbing up to the flat ground where the fields were, Li Hao lowered his body cautiously and carefully observed whether there were any prey. If there were pheasants in the fields, they would be scared away if they were not careful. Pheasants usually walked around on the ground, but they would fly in an emergency. Generally, they would fly to a certain height and then start to glide, and they could glide very far. Some people said that if pheasants glide from high to low, it would not be a problem to glide for several kilometers. Once they were startled, Li Hao would not be able to catch up with them in his current condition.

There was no animal in the fields. Early morning is usually the time when animals look for food. For some reason, Li Hao didn't see any animal in the fields at this moment.

He didn't care anymore and started checking the traps one by one from one end.

The first trap was a trap, but it didn't trigger. Li Hao ignored it and continued walking down. The second one was a snare trap, which also didn't trigger. Then the third and fourth ones didn't trigger either. Li Hao couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Is there something wrong with the trap I set? I can't catch any prey, right?

Helpless, he could only continue to check until the eighth trap. Li Hao was obviously shocked. A snare trap was triggered, and a pheasant was caught by the neck. It had fallen to the ground and could not move. The circle of weeds and leaves around the small tree that fixed the snare were kicked aside by the pheasant's struggle, and the pheasant was lying in the middle. Li Hao rushed forward and picked up the pheasant. The pheasant was still warm, probably because it was trapped when it came out to forage in the early morning. A closer look showed that it was still a male pheasant, with very colorful and beautiful feathers, and the feathers on the tail were very long. It was about two or three pounds, and it was heavy in his hand. Li Hao quickly untied the pheasant and put it into the space, and then rearranged the trap in its original position.

Li Hao was just having fun when he suddenly heard a clattering sound not far away. Li Hao was startled. He originally thought there was some wild animal, but when he listened carefully, it was the crisp sound of steel colliding. It was probably that a prey stepped on the trap set by Li Hao. When it heard someone coming, it was startled and began to think about escaping, dragging the trap to make a sound. Li Hao didn't bother to check the next trap and immediately walked towards the place where the sound came from.

When he got closer, he found that it was a rabbit that had stepped on a trap and had one of its front paws caught. After the steel clamp was tightly closed, it was difficult to open it without a huge external force or a suitable method. The rabbit simply couldn't break free. Seeing Li Hao coming, the rabbit became even more panicked, squeaking and running around trying to escape. Li Hao walked up to pick up the rabbit, but it kept running, making Li Hao fail to catch it several times. Li Hao simply stepped on the iron chain of the trap to limit its radius of movement, and finally pressed it to the ground. The rabbit kept struggling, trying to escape from Li Hao's clutches, but to no avail. In the end, it had to accept its fate and stopped struggling. Li Hao stepped on the mechanism with his foot, freed the rabbit's front paw, and then put it into the space.

This time, Li Hao did not rearrange the traps first, but checked the traps first. He went back to the trap that caught the pheasant first, and then checked them one by one. The advantage of this way was that he would not miss any. He was almost at the end of the road, but he did not see the third prey, so he gave up hope. However, Li Hao was also very happy. This was the first time he caught a pheasant and a rabbit, and he was indescribably excited.

Just at the last trap, a gray figure came into view. It was another rabbit, but this one was smaller than the last one, and it was unknown how long it had been trapped. Its body was cold and had begun to stiffen. This was a pleasant surprise, and Li Hao happily untied the rabbit and put it into the space.

He rearranged the triggered traps and began to check the trading space, but he didn't know how many points he could exchange for rabbits and pheasants.
