The emperor hunted in a roundabout way, and hunted from all sides.

However, Zhang Chao and the others did not have such a big show. They hunted more by using traps and digging traps to place animal clips. This is also the simplest but very effective way to hunt.

It doesn’t require many people or a lot of equipment, even the most ordinary people can do it.

Mr. Wang is an old herb collector. He puts clips and sets traps when he has time. In the mountains behind Wangjiazhuang, Mr. Wang also has an exclusive trap route.

"This route was passed on to me by my father. My father inherited it from my grandfather, and my grandfather was from my great-grandfather..."

When Mr. Wang talked about this hunting route, he proudly talked about the long-lasting rights of their family over this route. "In two years, when Alang grows older, I will take him to patrol this route, and he will inherit it in the future."

Zhang Chao, who was sore about his legs, leaning on a wooden stick in his hand. After hearing this, he couldn't help but be surprised. He thought that hunting was very free, but who knew that this thing was actually hereditary family tradition.

According to Mr. Wang, every route is very important, and it is generally passed down from generation to generation by father and son. If a hunter dares to cross the line and set traps on other people's routes, it is a serious matter. Of course, if you just hunt with bows and arrows, it doesn't matter much.

As winter comes, food decreases, and hunting mainly depends on setting up clamps.

Mr. Wang has many hunting traps, and there are different traps for different preys. For example, catching some small crocodiles, there is a very simple clip. Use a long bamboo tube to open it, click a few holes on the top of the bottom, and then use grease to smoothly apply the inner wall of the bamboo tube.

Find a place where crocodiles often appear, put a toad or a mouse at the bottom of the bamboo tube, and then insert bamboo nails into several holes in the walls of the tubes that were made in advance. In this way, the toad or mouse used as bait will be locked at the bottom of the bamboo tube and cannot get out.

In winter, when hungry crocodile smells the food in the bamboo tube, it will penetrate into the bamboo tube, but only sees it but cannot be eaten. When they have no choice but to leave, they will find that it is easy to get out but difficult to get out. The narrow bamboo tube has very little space, especially after grease is applied to it, the crocodile will slip inside and it is difficult to get out.

There is also a trap, which is also a bamboo tube, but it is more complicated. A bamboo tube is dug a hole in the middle tube wall, and there is a rope cover inside. The bamboo tube is buried in some large prey such as deer, deer, etc. Their feet accidentally step on the rope ring, and when they drive, the few curved bamboo pieces inserted on the bamboo tube will bounce, the rope will be retracted, and the prey's feet will be stuck in the tube and cannot come out.

There is also a stronger clip, which is a wild boar. The clip made of iron is like a large mouse catcher. Once the wild boar steps in, it can even cut off the pig's trotters.

The old man also introduced several types of traps specifically for bird catching to Zhang Chao, all of which are very simple. One of the simplest ones is to just use a twine. Take materials anywhere, cut a branch as big as a finger, leave half of it, then bend it, tie one end with twine, and use a few branches to make a simple clip below.

When a bird passes by, it will trigger the trap, hold its feet and hang it up, leaving it with no way out.

"That's it, you can try it."

Zhang Chao looked at Mr. Wang using only one hemp rope and achieved a simple bird-catching trap in a moment, and couldn't help but be amazed. But when his father asked him to do one, he always couldn't do it well. He either bounced up automatically or could not trigger it. After a long time of struggle, Mr. Wang and Ke Shan personally demonstrated several times before he finally made one.

An experienced hunter will check his own traps every day and maintain his own route.

Maintaining an inherent route is a lot of things to do, and it is not simple, such as cleaning the road regularly, etc.

Old Mr. Wang was walking on his own route, just like a king patrolling his territory, knowing every tree and every slope clearly.

A large area of ​​miles has several small routes from Mr. Wang to form his exclusive route. In this mountain forest, there are hundreds of traps and clips of all sizes.

“There is prey!”

After walking for a while, I checked more than a dozen traps and found no prey. When Zhang Chao was a little disappointed, he finally found the first prey.

A wild boar was clamped with an iron clip, which was the largest iron clip of Mr. Wang.

The wild boar seemed to have struggled for a long time, but the iron clamp was full of iron teeth. The huge biting force clamped the wild boar's front foot tightly, almost breaking it. The wild boar wanted to escape, but the clamp was tied with a rope to a big tree next to it.

Zhang Chao was so excited that he wanted to rush up to harvest the spoils, but Old Man Wang grabbed him.

"Be careful, the injured wild boars in the mountains are very fierce, one bear, two tigers, and three wild boars. The injured wild boars are second only to human bears and tigers."

An injured wild boar started to madly, but more than a dozen men couldn't stop him.

Wild boars often rub on the pine trees, causing a thick layer of pine resin to be stained with. This layer of pine resin and soil are wrapped around the body. It is extremely hard, like a piece of armor, which is hard to enter by ordinary swords and guns.

Especially its pair of fangs, which are big and sharp, once they are hit, two blood holes will be poked out immediately, and they will be ruined even if they are not dead.

The wild boar in front of me was very big, and it was at least 300 kilograms black.

Fortunately, it was a large clip, otherwise the smaller clip would not be able to trap it.

"What should I do now?"

"Kill it." Old Man Wang said calmly.

In later generations, wild boars became second-level protected animals, but in this era, wild boars were everywhere, and wild animals that the people hate very much. They would ruin crops and even attack people sometimes. Although they are not as terrified as tigers, they are really evil beasts that everyone hates.

The old man asked everyone to retreat for a while and leave the range that the wild boar could attack, and then asked Ke Wu to shoot with a bow.

Ke Wu is a mansion soldier and a archer, so he not only shoots well, but also has a strong bow. His bow is much better than Mr. Wang's hunting bow. Mr. Wang's hunting bow is not strong enough, and ordinary people are not allowed to have powerful weapons such as strong bows, strong crossbows, long spears and armor.

“Good class.”

Ke Wu took off his bow, and the bow was already in the string, took out an arrow, and pointed it at the wild boar that kept howling.

The sound of bowstrings and arrows roar out.

The wild boar screamed and fell to the ground.

After closer inspection, Ke Wu's feather arrow was inserted into one of the wild boar's eyes.

"Okay!" This was the first time Zhang Chao saw Ke Wu shoot an arrow, and it was so wonderful. Although the wild boar was only more than ten steps away, it was a living wild boar and was still moving.

One-third of the arrow fell into the wild boar's head. The big black pig screamed for a while and finally died.

"We have to hurry up. After a long time, if the wolf and tiger smell the blood, it will be troublesome."

In the mountains and forests, whether it is a lone tiger or a group of wolves, they are animals that hunters dare not attack.

This wild boar is too big, so it is not convenient to carry it down the mountain directly.

The old man planned to slaughter the local area, then threw away some unnecessary internal organs, cut them into several large pieces, and then took them away separately.

"One, two, three, use force!"

A group of people, who were catching pig's feet, who were catching pig's ears, who were catching pig's ears, and who were shaking tails.

Zhang Chao had the least strength, and he was not as good as Xiao Ba Xiao Shisan and Shuanzi, a few young men younger than him.

Therefore, he got the task of pulling the pig's tail.

Several people used force to lift the big wild boar to the open road. Keshan, a knife player, took out a short sharp knife and wanted to bleed the pig.

Zhang Chao quickly stopped him.

"This is too wasteful. Everyone brought all the water shells and picked up the pig's blood."

"Pig blood is too fishy and not delicious."

That's because you don't know how to eat it. Zhang Chao despised him for a moment. How could pig blood not be delicious? However, Zhang Chao insisted, and everyone took all the gourds that had their own water, drank a few sips of water and poured them all out.

Zhang Chao collected the water shell before allowing Ke Shan to continue.

Ke Shan is also an excellent knife player. Although he is not a butcher, he stabbed into the pig's neck with one knife and accurately stabbed the pig's blood. Blood flowed out. Xiao Shisan, Xiao Ba, Shuan Zi and three took turns to take the gourd to catch blood.

The warm pig blood flowed into the gourds and was almost not wasted.

The seven gourds were finally filled with six. Each of these gourds could be filled with more than two kilograms, and almost received more than ten kilograms of blood.

While the blood was still hot, Zhang Chao quickly took out a salt bag from his body and carried the salt with him. He originally planned to make some barbecue on the mountain, but now it has other uses.

Pig blood is delicious and easy to make. Take the fresh pig blood that has just been slaughtered, add some salt and shake it to solidify. Then, when eating, after some water, the water boils, the color of the pig blood changes, you can take it out and rinse it with cold water, and it becomes an excellent ingredient. Whether it is cooked or stewed, it is very convenient and delicious.

After the pig's blood was dried, Ke Shan, Ke Wu and the three of them began to cut the pig's stomach.

The three men directly hung up the pig's two front hooves, and then worked together to hang the pig on a tree trunk. Keshan's hunting knife opened the pig's belly very smoothly.

My heart, liver, intestinal lungs all came out all of a sudden.

Ke Wuyi held these and threw them away.

When Zhang Chao saw this, he quickly shouted to stop him.

"Wait a minute, these cannot be thrown away, they are all good things."

Looking at these internal organs, Zhang Chao couldn't help but think of countless delicious dishes, including sour and sour intestines, fried pork liver, oil-sweetened waist flowers, cold pork belly, stewed pork lungs, pig heart soup...

Especially the stomach of a wild boar, a real wild boar belly in later generations can be sold for thousands of yuan. Many people have specially found this kind of wild boar belly to eat, saying that it can cure stomach problems.
