Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food
Chapter 8 Setting up a trap
In the afternoon, the sun gradually sets in the west, and fine light and shadows are scattered, as beautiful and comfortable as countless stars.
The shadows beneath the trees turned blue and purple. Maple leaves were dyed in the autumn breeze, and clouds rolled across the sky. Everything was so lazy and comfortable.
Sang Tian gently stretched her arms in the dim cave, tidied her appearance briefly, and picked up a pile of distributed chestnuts.
He happily jumped out of the cave and walked towards the square with his tail raised like a squirrel.
At this moment, the hunters from the hunting team in the square were still sweating profusely in the scorching sun, smoking meat. They were all men with strong muscles and smooth and clear lines.
Each male has been meticulously trained to achieve a well-proportioned and harmonious figure, with the contours of his abdominal muscles clearly visible, radiating confidence and strength.
Sang Tian will always be deeply moved by this scene, a group of men with abs sweating in front of you. My God, I'm going to bleed from the nose just thinking about it.
Sang Tian walked up to them and greeted them with a smile, generous and calm.
"Sang, are you going to the woods in front? What are you doing with the chestnuts?" Yong couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, yes, Yong. We need to go to the woods on the other side of the river and use chestnuts to make a small trap to catch some small animals to eat." Sang Tian cleared his throat and said.
"What trap are you talking about?" the captain of hunting team No. 1 asked in confusion.
"Well... it's a disguised pit dug to catch wild animals or capture enemies.
"We use fallen leaves and branches to cover the pit as camouflage, so that animals or people who step on them will fall into the pit," Sang Tian explained solemnly.
"We don't quite understand what you're saying, Sang. I wonder if we can come and see for ourselves later. If you can really catch a beast, could you teach us? The tribe really needs something like this!"
Meng was very shocked. Sang was probably talking about a camouflage method to trick animals into a pit. This was an unprecedented hunting method in the tribe, and they also relied solely on manpower for hunting.
No one has ever thought of such a streamlined method. If it is really feasible, does it mean that hunting will be easier in the future? At least in this way, there will be no more casualties among hunters in the hunting team?
The forest is extremely dangerous. They have to be vigilant at all times when walking in the dense shadows of trees. They will be tense and ready to fight at the slightest sign of trouble.
Any carelessness can kill you and your teammates. When hunting, you must not only keep a close eye on the prey, but also observe whether there are any large predators in the grass.
Avoid the situation where the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind.
Many team members died of pain due to serious injuries and lack of effective treatment, and some were unable to hunt again due to their injuries. Several of them in the tribe were his former comrades-in-arms.
All of this is still vivid in Meng's mind.
If…if the method Sang described was truly feasible, then the hunting team would be able to significantly reduce risk and bring in endless benefits. Meng was looking forward to it and taking it very seriously.
"Of course you can, Captain Meng. I was planning to teach you if you wanted."
"I am also a member of the tribe. As long as I know something, I will do my best to teach it to the tribe. This is also my home, and I hope it will become prosperous!" Sang Tian said firmly and left.
Meng couldn't describe his feelings at the moment, but he really hoped that everyone in the tribe could be as dedicated as Sang to making the tribe live a good life.
To be honest, he was very grateful to Sang.
Cang looked at the back of the woman as she left. Her long, slightly curly hair, tied up high, fluttered in the wind, and the ends of her hair swayed left and right with her steps, as agile as a leaping butterfly.
The white neck, soft waist, like a slender willow branch, the body is tall and straight, and the legs are long and slender.
She is as noble and charming as an elegant white swan.
When Cang first saw her, she was lying on a tree branch. She had a gentle and tender face, delicate and fair skin, and a delicate and beautiful face. Two strands of hair fluttered gently in the wind. Her eyes were as bright and brilliant as the stars and the moon.
Her eyebrows were slightly curved, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear beneath her eyelashes. Her lifted nose and small lips made her look even more stunning.
Her long, black curly hair, like seaweed, was casually draped behind her, and her fair skin looked as smooth as cream under the shadows of the trees.
Just one glance and my heart is moved.
But at that time, she seemed to be drooling at the sight of the hunting team...
When I got to know her, I realized that she was not just a little girl. Everything she knew, understood and could do would make her a woman of great stature.
Time is the best instrument to prove her.
Sang observed the ground, found a path with traces of animals and started digging a hole.
Without any suitable tools, I could only use a machete to cut down a thriving sapling, flatten the roots, and start shoveling the soil.
"Huoha, it seems that it's not so easy for Sister Lin to pull out the weeping willow tree. It's really hard work!"
Sang Tian is almost screwed. It's really too slow and requires a long time of effort. There's no other way. If you want to live a good life, you have to roll up your sleeves and work hard.
After half an hour, the digging was finally completed. At the bottom, Sang Tian sharpened three thicker branches with a machete and inserted the roots into the bottom.
He cut down some branches and placed them at the mouth of the pit, one row horizontally and one row vertically.
Just as they were about to collect leaves, a hunting party came over.
"Sang, here we come!" Yong shouted happily.
I've heard her voice before I've even seen her. Are you the ancient Wang Xifeng?
After arriving, the group observed carefully and were puzzled as to how such a pit could catch animals.
Aren't they just idiots jumping into the pit one by one?
Sang Tian quickly took off his windbreaker, picked up a pile of leaves and poured them on the clothes. At this time, there was no trace of the pit at all.
Completely hidden, just like any other ground.
Only then did they get the essence of this method.
Sang Tian sprinkled the chestnuts that had been peeled in advance on top.
"Well, that's it. Whenever an animal passes by and eats the chestnuts above the hole, it will fall down due to the weight, and the sharpened branches I've sharpened will pierce their bodies and prevent them from escaping."
At this moment, Meng felt a mixture of admiration and shock towards Sang Tian. He didn't expect that a female like a porcelain doll could come up with such a good idea.
Cang asked doubtfully, "This method is very effective for small prey, but what about large prey?"
Cang's question hit the nail on the head for the hunting team, after all, they were targeting medium to large prey.
"Cang has hit the nail on the head. The principle is exactly the same. Take the Sharptooth Beast for example. It's large and powerful and can easily go berserk if you're not careful. So a pit like this must be dug three times higher than its height to ensure it can't escape.
It also needs to be high enough and heavy enough so that it won't fall because the force will be injected into the body by the spikes at the bottom."
"And the spikes have to be dense and sharp enough. Even if it can't be killed in a short time by falling from a height, it will die from excessive blood loss and pain.
Besides, the Fanged Beast is easily angered. If it falls and feels pain, it will definitely struggle violently, which will increase the area of injury and the speed and volume of bleeding."
"The most ingenious thing is to choose branches that are not too thin when laying at the mouth of the pit."
"Why, Sang, isn't the one you chose very thin?" Yong asked in confusion.
"Because I hunt small, lightweight prey, I choose thick branches that won't break even if one animal steps on them. Several will do.
And my pit is very small and can only accommodate one beast.
Since you chose large prey, you can certainly make them thinner, but they are heavy and will definitely fall off."
“But what I thought of was catching multiple people in one pit.
That is to say, while the depth is sufficient, the pit must be long enough, and the branches laid on it should not be too thick or too thin.
If one or two beasts climb on a branch like this, the branch won't be shortened, but if three, four, or five beasts climb on it, the branch will break because it's too heavy."
"This saves time and the harvest is more abundant. Of course, this is most suitable for social animals, as many of them will come to eat at once.
You distribute them according to the species you hunt. If it's a solitary animal and you can only catch one at a time, then you can choose thin branches."
"Use bait based on the animal's favorite food. For example, Sharptooths prefer carrion, while Bleats prefer grass, fruit peels, and straw... This will be more effective."
After Sang Tian finished speaking, everyone suddenly understood.
I didn't expect that hunting could be done this way. It saves time, effort, is simple and crude, and most importantly, it reduces many safety risks, which is a great protection for the hunting team.
The most important thing is that it is effective, especially as Sang said, choosing thick branches can allow you to catch multiple fish in one pit, which is really a blessing for those who are just playing badly.
Meng said excitedly: “Thank you very much, Sang, tomorrow is the day for our hunting team to hunt, we will use
We will report to the leader based on tomorrow's hunting results, and the second hunting team will also teach them."
“Sang, you are very special and have great wisdom.
Our tribe is lucky to have you join us. I even have a feeling that the tribe will become what-what-what under your actions?"
"Thriving." Cang said calmly.
"Oh yes, yes, that's it, thriving hahaha." Meng said with a hearty laugh.
The other members of the hunting team went back to continue smoking the meat, while Cang and Yong stayed to help Sang Tian set more traps.
Sang Tian specially used a machete to carve two shovels for them.
In fact, she noticed that Cang and Yong were curious and shocked about the sharpness of the machete in her hand.
But they said nothing and asked nothing, just doing their own job without crossing any line of defense.
This made Sang Tian feel very warm and safe.
Hehehe, savages have a strong sense of boundaries.
After finishing, Sang Tian planned to come back tomorrow to collect the prey. Cang and Yong also had to prepare to distribute the meat.
After thanking Sang, they went back to the cave separately, rested and prepared to cook dinner.
