Chapter 1014

A trap that had caught prey appeared in Feng Chengmin's hands. It is obvious that this prey should have been obtained by Feng Chengmin.

The reason for saying this is that hunting tools like snares and traps need to be processed after catching prey before they can be used a second time.

Otherwise, after the prey smells the scent of its kind from far away, it will absolutely not drill into the snare or step on the trap.

And the kind of trap in front of him belongs to the same category of tools as snares and traps. If it is not handled well after catching prey, it is absolutely impossible to catch wild sika deer.

So Wang An believes that Feng Chengmin should have taken someone else's prey.

But you have to know that things like taking prey from someone else's snare are the most despised by mountain people.

Just like when Wang An, Mu Xueli, and Wang Li set traps to catch sables, they finally caught a sable, but it was taken away by 3 people on horseback.

Rabbits and pheasants are one thing, but a sable skin starts at four hundred yuan—is that a joke?

It's one thing not to know who took it, but if you know, who wouldn't be anxious?

As an old mountain person, Feng Chengmin naturally knows these mountain rules.

So upon hearing Wang An say that he took someone else's prey, Feng Chengmin immediately defended himself:

"What do you mean I took someone else's prey? That was the deer I was chasing that stepped on this trap. Don't talk nonsense, okay?"

According to Feng Chengmin's performance, it can be concluded that Wang An was right; Feng Chengmin did indeed take someone else's prey.

It's just that this matter might be as Feng Chengmin said, but it's also possible that this is just an excuse Feng Chengmin found for himself.

Wang An didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.

After all, he is the younger generation, and Feng Chengmin is the elder. Making fun of an elder as a younger generation, no matter how you say it, is a bit inappropriate.

Fortunately, the look in his eyes was also a kind of silent blow.

Noticing Wang An's face full of deep meaning, Feng Chengmin suddenly snatched the wooden board trap back and scolded with a smile:

"You little brat, you have so many things to say? Look if you want, if not, give it back to me."

After speaking, Feng Chengmin also gave Wang An a fierce look with his eyelids.

The old saying goes well, that is "See through but don't say it, see through but don't expose it, don't hit people in the face, don't expose people's shortcomings."

But Wang An is good; except for the third sentence, he expressed the meaning of the first two sentences and the meaning of the last sentence very perfectly.

But Wang An forgot that at this time, Wang An was asking Feng Chengmin to do something.

So Wang An immediately smiled and apologized:

"I was just curious and asked, I didn't say anything. Old Uncle, look at how you got anxious?"

As he spoke, Wang An took the wooden board trap back from Feng Chengmin's hand.

Immediately after, Wang An said again:

"Why wouldn't I look? I haven't finished looking yet, hehehe."

Feng Chengmin scolded with a smile again:

"You little brat, you dare to make fun of me. If you dare to show off with me again, see if I don't shave you."

Wang An smiled and didn't dare to say anything more. The main thing is that making fun of people, if it stops at the right point, no one will mind, but instead will promote the relationship between the two sides.

But if you keep holding onto one thing, then it will be annoying, not only annoying, but also disgusting to death.

The main thing is that the things in these big mountains are originally ownerless things, so the rules are actually just like that. How many people can truly follow the rules?

Besides, many things are right and wrong, and there is no clear standard between right and wrong. Most of them are things where the public says they are right, and the mother-in-law says they are right.

Immediately after, Wang An looked at this wooden board trap again.

This wooden board trap in front of him, if described, is actually a miniature version of a door, but the door frame of this door has been enlarged quite a bit.

To put it bluntly, it is to saw a hole in the middle of a wooden board and make two opposite doors according to the size of the hole.

Usually, this door is always kept in a closed state, and even if it is pushed open, it will automatically close.

Because on the door frames on both sides of the two doors, there is a thin rubber band connected on the left and right sides.

Calling it a thin rubber band, it is actually the kind cut from a bicycle inner tube.

As for the working principle, it is also very simple, that is, when setting the trap, you need to dig a small hole in the ground to let the two doors have space to open.

Then cover this door, or more accurately, this wooden board trap, on the small hole, and finally do a simple cover on the trap with weeds or leaves.

As long as a deer steps on it, their hoof will immediately fall into the small hole and be clamped by the door at the same time.

In order to prevent them from escaping desperately after stepping on it, a few short nails were also driven into the place where the two doors meet. As long as the deer wants to pull its hoof out, the nail tips will pierce into the deer's hoof wrist.

I have to admit that no matter how scarce the materials are, the methods of mountain people to capture prey can still be strange and varied.

The most important thing is that the tools developed by these people also use extremely simple and easily available materials.

Who would have thought that after shrinking the door, it could be used as a trap?

However, although this wooden board trap looks very simple, it is not difficult to make, but wanting to catch sika deer is truly not a simple matter.

Because who can guarantee that when the deer walks, the deer hoof will step into the trap so accurately?

No matter how awesome the trap is, if the deer doesn't step on it, or if the deer walks over the trap but happens not to step on the two doors of the trap, but steps on the door frame of the trap...

Damn, then what kind of sika deer are you catching? You'll be angry to death.

Therefore, just as Feng Chengmin said, wanting to use this thing to catch sika deer is quite a lot of effort.

The only way is to win by quantity, that is, to set traps in piles, set traps in large areas, and set hundreds or even thousands of traps to be sure of catching sika deer.

After looking at the wooden board trap, Wang An suddenly said to Feng Chengmin not funny:

"Old Uncle, are you busy these two days? Why don't you..."

But before Wang An finished speaking, Feng Chengmin immediately interrupted:

"Busy, I'm very busy, I don't have time to do anything else."

It is very obvious that Feng Chengmin is very interested in hunting sika deer, but for making wooden board traps, he is listless.

Not taking Feng Chengmin's conversation, Wang An smiled and fooled:

"Old Uncle, my house has a circular saw, and the wooden boards will be cut out in two clicks. Making this thing is super fast. That's a live sika deer. In the future, draw some deer blood, soak some deer blood wine, isn't it quite good?"

Thanks to "Empire Emperor" for the reward, thank you, thank you!

Wish you, big brother, happy and happy every day, make a small fortune and then a big fortune!
