Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 57—Chain Trap

Verricko felt that he was going crazy, and he never thought about catching pheasants and rabbits like this. Yesterday afternoon, he and Claude made a total of more than 100 sets, and then divided into fourteen groups, each set of ten sets of links, and then placed these sets of sleeves under the bushes and grass nests, and finally used A relatively strong vine tied these sleeves to the roots of the trees, and Claude threw some grass seeds on those covers...

This is a child's play, and Verikoro thought so at the time. But watching Claude weaving the cover so seriously, he couldn't help, and it took them nearly two hours to get the so-called trap trap. Verricko was still thinking when he slept at night. If Crowder finds out that these traps are used, he will not be disappointed. How can he comfort him?

Therefore, Vericro did not mention the traps in the sentence after he went to school today. Anyway, after school in the afternoon, he and Claude secretly went to see it. If you don't have anything, you can help Claude to wait like a rabbit, and be patient with a shot to kill a rabbit or a pheasant. In the end, don't let Claude go back empty-handed.

But Bokal was very curious to ask Claude about the harvest that went there yesterday. Claude said that he only shot a rabbit, but he laid a lot of traps there. After school in the afternoon, I saw if I had any gains. ......

This is what evokes the curiosity of Bocker and Eriksson. The great captain of the future will not even care about the small fishing boats that are about to be completed on the dock. They have to go with them to see and see, because Claude is convinced. Those traps that indicate that they are laid out must be very effective, and they are guaranteed to be rewarded, regardless of Vericro's side lamenting his expression of big words.

But it turns out that Verricko is wrong, and these traps under Claude are not easy to use, but they are so good. Almost every set of traps has been harvested. Five rabbits and four pheasants were entangled in the cover for almost a day and a night. They struggled to dying, and they could only watch as they fell into the hands of these two-legged beasts. ......

Fourteen sets of covers, except for the two groups intact, nothing else, the other three groups are broken state, it is obvious that these three sets of traps also caught the prey, but under the deadly struggle of the prey, the cover was torn off and the prey escaped. Live. The remaining nine sets of traps did not live up to Claude's expectations and provided him with nine prey.

Verricko looked at the arquebus in his hand and murmured: "I knew that we didn't need to take any arques. Every sky hand came over and put some covers. The next day, the empty hand came over to get the prey. ......"

Bok Al and Eriksson kneel down to help Crowder, unravel these rabbits and pheasants from the cover, and then bundle the feet of these prey with the rope that Crowder brings. All the prey have no strength to struggle, and they are powerless to let these two-legged beasts toss.

"Claude, how come you have this trap?" Eriksson asked curiously.

"Oh..." Claude smiled. "This is the benefit of reading more books. I have seen a mainland travel book before, saying that there is an island in the north of the mainland. When people capture those seabirds, they often have a big fish net. Tiled on the sand, sprinkle the small fish and shrimp on it, attracting the seabirds to eat. Because it is sand, the seabirds fall down a lot, and some seabirds’ claws pass through the net. The grid. People waited for the seabirds to fall down and rushed over. As a result, some of the seabird's claws were entangled in the net, and they were caught.

This matter was passed on to the mainland by the merchants, so some smart hunters used the same method to hunt those migratory birds. They laid the nets on the grass or on the mud, put the food that the migratory birds loved on the fishnet, and waited for the birds to eat when they rushed over. Every time there were always one or two migratory birds’ claws caught by the net. Into the hands of hunters.

However, this fishnet trap has some shortcomings for hunters. First, the cost is large. A fishnet is in the grass because the prey struggles and breaks quickly, and it is not worth the loss for the hunters. Second, the migratory birds know the lesson because they have been arrested for the same kind. They don’t dare to come down with something like a fishnet on the ground. Third, accidents are easy to occur in the grasses of the mountains, and the nets are often destroyed by the large beasts.

Later, a clever hunter tried to imitate the mesh of the fish net into a chain cover, which was used to catch small animals such as pheasant hares, and the result was a good harvest. That travel book recorded this story, and also described the practice of this chain trap, so I thought about experimenting yesterday. I didn’t expect the book to be true. This trap is really against pheasants and rabbits. very effective……"

Big Brother, you didn’t say that you were doing the experiment yesterday afternoon, but you have a well-prepared look. I have done so many sets for you... Veri Crowe feels very painful. Well, these two words are also Crow. Deping often said, but at this moment, Verikoro felt that the word "Eggs" was very relevant.

"Right, Claude, is there a trap now?" asked Verricko.

"Well..." Claude indulged for two seconds and looked at the five rabbits and four pheasants on the ground tied with a pair of hind legs and claws. "The time is still early, let's arrange some more. But not in Here, the two sets of good sets don’t move, just throw them here, we walk inside, at least over the mound in front, the farther from here, the better...”

So the four people took the harvest and went inside for a long time. Looking at the gentle slopes and mountains in front, Crowder finally nodded. "Let's here, there are many bushes and grass nests here. The harvest of tomorrow must be better than today. many."

Everyone started looking for those thin and tough vines to weave the cover.

"Why don't you have the ropes you brought? It's stronger than these vines..." Eriksson was puzzled.

"If you use the rope that I bring, rabbits and pheasants will consciously avoid these things." Claude replied: "Don't be so stupid about rabbits and pheasants, although they are really benzene, but this is still the brain. Yes, the rope-studded sleeves are thrown on the grass or the ground, and the surrounding environment is inconspicuous. Rabbits and pheasants can also distinguish that this is something foreign, and they will be alert and not close."

Claude picked up a vine-made cover: "And the vine-made cover, which was originally here, we made it into a looper, and a dozen of them were placed on the ground, and the rabbit and the pheasant did not have the slightest Be alert, they will think that these are falling on the shrubs or they are originally grown on the ground, stepping on them without any scruples. So as long as they have one foot or claws falling into these loopers, go forward and go forward. They will tighten, and then they will be scared and rushed forward. As a result, you all saw it, and we were exhausted and we were caught."

The people are more powerful, and the last four people have arranged more than forty sets of chain traps, mostly under the bushes. Crowd checked a group and sprinkled some grass seeds and dirt on it. Grass seeds are lure food, and soil is used to cover people's smell.

"Okay, let's go back. I will see how much it will be gained after tomorrow afternoon." Claude said, holding his back and squatting and checking out so many traps, he could be exhausted: "You guys Take it yourself, how about a rabbit and a pheasant?"

Claude pointed to the rabbits and pheasants on the ground.

Bokal shook his head: "Claude, this is the prey of you and Verricko yesterday. You should be divided together. If there is something to gain tomorrow, we will not be late tomorrow."

Claude blinked: "We are friends, we are friends, we are divided first today, and tomorrow will have to say tomorrow. If you say so much, I can’t finish it when I take it back. What do you say to Verricko?"

Verricko’s snoring replied: “You have the final say. Anyway, this house has a row of smoked squats under my house. I am tired of eating. I don’t care how much.”

Bok Al smiled: "No, Claude. You don't know that Pied, the old pub, is buying pheasants at a high price. He wants to live. You four are in line with his acquisition requirements."

"What price does he have?" Crowder asked.

"A Riazor, or two more Sunars, this depends mainly on the situation."

"He wants a pheasant? Does the rabbit want him?"

"It should be..." Bocker is also not sure: "The last time I saw him standing at the back door of the pub and a mountain keeper, the pheasant and the rabbit were caught by the mountain dog. The pheasant was still alive and he gave it. The mountain people, a Riazor, the rabbit died, he didn't want it, the mountain people said that it would be cheaper to go to San Sunar. Piedd shook his head and said that he could live, and he could not die..."

Rabbit San Sunar is also a three-dollar, pheasant can sell for ten yuan, the price difference is too big.

Claude looked at Verricko, and Verricko was very understanding: "Take it and sell it, Bokal is right, tomorrow's harvest will be divided tomorrow."

So everyone spent an hour down the mound out of the forest, just happened to meet a carriage to the town. Bocker used a rabbit for the price to let the driver agree to send the four to the old pub.

Pied knows Claude, although he hasn't said anything, but he has seen it several times.

What makes Piedde strange is how Crowd caught these rabbits and pheasants, not like the hounds, even if Claude and Verricko were carrying arquebuses behind them, these rabbits There is no wound in the pheasant, it is no spirit, and it is alive.

"Like this, the pheasant is a Riazor, the rabbit is a four Sunar, can you see it?" Pied said.

At this time, Bock Al, the scene of his acquisition of the pheasant from the mountain people with the last time he saw Pied showed the unreasonable and dishonest purchase price of Pied, and soon let the skin Ed admits his careless mistakes and compares Claude's well-prepared prey with the prey that was caught by the hound. In order to express his apology, Pied took the initiative to raise the price of a pheasant. Sunar, and the rabbit also added a purchase price of Sunar.

Claude decided to close the deal while leaving a rabbit to take home. In the next month, Claude decided to try his best to let Mr. Morssan eat rabbit meat every day, and he always ate it until he vomited...

What Pied did not expect was that the next day, Claude gave him seventeen pheasants and eleven rabbits. It was the same as yesterday, and there was no scar on his body. He lived well and was exhausted and weak. . This made Pied very doubtful whether the four teenagers were all Scuds. They chased the rabbits and pheasants and ran them all the way.

However, Pied did not say anything, and it was all simply collected at yesterday's price. Claude still brought a rabbit home.

On the third day, Claude four came again. This time, eleven pheasants and seven rabbits...

The fourth day is six pheasants and eight rabbits...

On the fifth day, Claude four came late, it seems that they are tired, it seems to have gone a long way, but they brought fourteen pheasants and nine rabbits back.

Pied finally spoke up. He was euphemistically saying that there are still many live hares and pheasants in the pub. It took two labors to feed these rabbits and pheasants. So Pied hopes that Claude will not need to send pheasants and rabbits after the completion of the acquisition today.

The four people of Claude are also relieved. The mounds and mountain forests in the southern suburbs of the town are now no longer seeing pheasants and rabbits. In order to gain, they are also running farther and farther. Today they are spent out of the mountains. About two hours...
