Traveling through the primitive world: I was a priest in the tribe

Chapter 120 Trap 1

The doe's cub was shot in the leg by someone during the chaos. After running two steps, it fell in the grass and began to struggle. The doe wanted to run over to see her cub at first, but when she saw Ji Lang rushing over, she paused and continued to run towards the cub. Ji Lang also ran very fast and was wondering if this guy was really willing to give up his life for his child. As a result, the doe suddenly braked, turned around and ran in another direction.

Jilang: ...

Suddenly I remembered what Uncle Lin said, that they are good at using fake moves to confuse the enemy. Now it seems that there are not only fake moves, but also fake maternal love.

Knowing that his speed and endurance were shortcomings and he might not be able to catch up, Ji Lang quickly took out his wooden spear and fired several times. He had practiced this a lot before, and this time he just hit the doe's back. The injured doe fell to the ground, rolled around, and lay motionless.

This time Ji Lang did not let his guard down and immediately rushed over to catch it. It seemed that this guy was waiting for this moment and he jumped up with all his strength and rushed towards Ji Lang.

Ji Lang was not afraid at all. He quickly grabbed the deer's neck with both hands and pushed it to the ground. Fearing that the deer would struggle and escape, he sat on the doe's belly and held it down tightly.

The doe rolled her eyes due to his pressure and green foam came out of the corners of her mouth.

After finally subduing this guy, he turned to look at Qing Jiu and the others. They didn't intend to capture the others alive, but to catch them and kill them directly. The battle was over.

At this moment, everyone was speechless as they watched Ji Lang sitting on a deer.

"Hurry, hurry, Qingjiu, get a rope and tie it up." Ji Lang'er didn't bother to figure out what these people's looks meant. He was just excited about catching his first prey.

Qing Jiu deftly tied up the doe and carried her to the injured fawn. The fawn had its eyes wide open, was wet, and was still trembling all over.

The weather was hot and the prey of the others was dead, so the meat would become sour over time. So everyone didn't delay and after a short while, they carried the prey towards the tribe.

The male deer killed by Qingjiu was carried by Sashi, and the captured female deer and fawn were tied to wooden sticks with their four hooves facing upwards and carried by Qingjiu and Jilang. Maybe because of the happiness of having killed the prey, or maybe because of the excessive secretion of adrenaline during the action, Jilang did not feel hot or tired at all. He walked very fast, his face still flushed and excited from the intense running.

"When will I be able to catch up and kill my prey with a single blow like you guys?" Ji Lang sighed. Although he was staring at his target with great nervousness at the time, he also caught sight of other people's movements out of the corner of his eye.

"You did a great job. There are many ways to hunt, and not all of them have to be like us. As long as you can catch prey, you are a good hunter." Qing Jiu said. He was not saying this to make Ji Lang happy, nor was he saying this to comfort him, but he really thought so.

In the past, hunters in the tribe did not have any good weapons and relied more on their own strong personal abilities. But now it is different. Their weapons and tools are unprecedented, and they should learn to combine their own advantages with these weapons, rather than stubbornly sticking to the old ways.

There were also the traps that Ji Lang had dug in the cabin before. Although they were crude, Qing Jiu studied them later and found that they were really useful. It was just that Ji Lang might not have done much work before and the arrangements were not comprehensive, so many small prey escaped after being trapped in them.

If all these methods were utilized, not only would it be easier for the hunting team to go out hunting, but even many people who have not received the blessing of the mountain god would be able to go out and hunt prey.

Ji Lang, "Fortunately, the injuries of the big and the small are not serious. Let's go back and apply some medicine to them to see if they can survive." If they can be raised, they can be considered for breeding in the future. He was still excited and even a little proud. Although he knew rationally that this was not good and he should not be proud of a little achievement, the corners of his mouth were now harder to suppress than AK. He could not help but raise them, and could only talk about other topics to change the subject.

"Well, this kind of deer has a gentle temperament. Although its reaction and speed are fast, its patience is average and it is relatively easy to catch." Qing Jiu agreed, already thinking about where to dig a hole to raise this creature.

However, this idea soon came to nothing. The two deer, one big and one small, refused to eat anything, no matter whether it was the freshly cut grass or the hay that had been stored previously. Even the sheep and rabbits loved corn stalks, they didn't even look at them. As a result, they were both too weak to bear within two days. There was no choice but to slaughter them. The idea of ​​raising sika deer was no longer feasible.

After returning that day, everyone knew that Ji Lang had hunted a live deer, and they all praised him regardless of how he caught it. Ji Lang, who had previously claimed to be low-key, now slept with his chest puffing out.

I feel so fucking awesome.

The next day, at dawn, I got up and started exercising actively and proactively.

For several days in a row, he was like a chicken with blood pumped up. Later, Qingjiu was worried that he was not getting enough sleep. Every time he went out hunting, he would remind him to have a good nap at home. Hunting is not a one- or two-day thing. He might find it novel and interesting at the beginning, but as he goes out more often, he will have to rely on his strong physical fitness to support him.

Ji Lang's current reaction ability and physical condition are not enough to allow him to go hunting every day. He knows this very well. Besides, he is not learning these things in order to become a hunter. He has many things he can do and does not necessarily have to rely on hunting to survive. But he just wants to learn. He can choose not to do it, but he cannot fail to learn it.

Another thing is that after he came back last time, he and Qingjiu also discussed how to improve the traps. In the future, they could try to use traps to catch some prey, so he wanted to learn about the habits of various prey. He could indeed ask Qingjiu, Xishi, Sashi, and everyone in the hunting team about these things, but seeing is believing. No matter how much he heard, it is better to see it with his own eyes.

Ji Lang had just finished exercising in the morning and was sweating. He took a towel to the sink in the outer yard to wash it, and then he saw Xishi coming back with Liefeng and the others. Each of the dogs was holding an animal the size of an adult rabbit in its mouth. It was gray and Ji Lang didn't recognize it. There was a rare look of sadness on Xishi's face. He didn't go hunting today, but went to check the situation in the field.

"What's wrong? Why do you have that expression?" Ji Lang asked him curiously.

Xishi raised his chin and pointed in the direction of the dogs, saying, "A lot of small animals have come to our fields. They have dug the fields into a mess. Many of the well-grown corns and pumpkins have been eaten by them, ruining our food."

Ji Lang also became anxious when he heard this. Indeed, he had thought about this problem before. When he harvested, he found that everything was fine, so he still had a fluke mentality, thinking that maybe because there were abundant species outside, the small animals had enough food and should not come to destroy the food they planted. But now, these guys came in groups.

"Can't we drive away Liefeng and the others?" asked Ji Lang.

Xi Shi shook his head. "Too many. Besides, we have a lot of land. Even if we have to drive them away, we basically just drive them from one field to another. It's the same thing."

This was a bit annoying. Ji Lang scratched his head and said, "Okay, I'll think of a solution in the next two days."

When he was a child in the village, Ji Lang saw his grandfather chasing away wild animals and badgers in watermelon fields and corn fields. The tools they used most often were scarecrows and firecrackers.

Scarecrows had been tied in the fields before, but they were of little use and could only drive away birds. But there were definitely no firecrackers here. Ji Lang knew his own worth. Although he studied science in school, he only had 300 points out of 200 in the comprehensive science subject, and basically chemistry only accounted for more than 20 points. He had also seen firecrackers in books and his teacher had also talked about it, but apart from knowing that phosphorus was needed, he had forgotten everything else.

It is true that one only regrets not having read enough books when he or she needs them.

It just so happened that I talked to Qingjiu last time about improving the traps. We can dig some traps on the ground and mark them so that our people won't step on them by mistake. If the small animals step on them more often, it can at least have a deterrent effect.

"By the way, Xishi, sprinkle some of your repellent powder around the edges of the field." When the powder was being burned before, Ji Lang had taken a closer look and the smell was indeed quite strong and pungent.

Xi Shi agreed. He also planned to do so. He was ready to go out to dig materials and cook them after dinner. The more they could be driven away, the better. Otherwise, if he allowed these guys to destroy the land like this, the harvest of a piece of land might not even catch up to half of the first wave.

When he was in the cabin before, the traps Ji Lang dug were relatively shallow, and there were only a few sharpened wooden sticks inserted inside. Sometimes the prey would be trapped without even breaking their fur, and would fall over after just a few rolls. This time, Ji Lang wanted to make one with greater lethality. He had elastic ropes, and he could take some of them down to make clamps.

Li called them to eat in the yard. Ji Lang had been exercising for more than a while and was really thirsty and hungry. The two of them quickly washed up and ate first. They worked so hard every day just to have a meal.

The weather was still hot and sultry. Jilang, Ye, Lan and Feng each put on a straw hat and went to the fields.

Feng was brought by Jilang, as he wanted him to learn how to make traps from him. Lan and Ye came to pick peppers. The peppers that were planted in the first round had produced another crop, so the two planned to pick some and take them back to pickle them.

Last winter season, there were not many pickled vegetables, and later they were all eaten up. The family would talk about them from time to time and want to eat more. So this time, Lan and Ye planned to pickle more.

Before I reached the end of the field, I heard people talking in the field. Looking carefully, I saw five or six people from the yard next door. They were pulling two carts. I didn't know what was piled on them, but it was all green.

When a few people came closer, they found that they were jujube trees of different sizes, with green fruits hanging on them.

"What are you doing this for?" Ji Lang was a little curious.

Ah Yang, the young hunter whose right leg was injured by the ape, still limps when he walks, with a bright smile on his face, "Something keeps stealing food from the fields, and it destroys them badly. We dug up some sour jujube trees and plan to fence off the fields."

The jujube tree has thorns, and the thorns are more painful when they are dry and can even cause inflammation, so it is indeed possible to use it to block the thorns.

Ji Lang didn't expect that they had come up with a solution, and was quite pleasantly surprised. "This is a good idea, but we have so much land, how many jujube trees do you want to dig back?"

"What's the big deal? There are jujube trees everywhere in the mountains. We don't have to run far. This is our second trip. It's quick." Ah Yang didn't bring a straw hat. His originally dark skin was sunburned red and beads of sweat were dripping down his face, but he still looked very motivated.

He had been attacked by apes before and thought he was dead. He was later rescued. After waking up and looking at his almost broken legs, he felt desperate and thought he might soon be abandoned by the tribe. No tribe would be willing to support a hunter who couldn't go hunting. In his current condition, it might be difficult for him to keep up with the team as a gatherer in the future.

But later, Ji Lang and Grandma Xue always came to change his medicine, and Dashu still shared food with him. His legs healed quickly. Although he could no longer go hunting like before, he was already satisfied to be able to gather. He did not expect that the priest would ask them to plant later. He felt that he had found something he could do and could get food by planting. Every time he thought of it, his heart was filled with gratitude towards Ji Lang, Qing Jiu, and Dashu.

He is very decisive when doing his work.

Ji Lang looked at his and his companions' sunburned faces and said, "Last time I taught some old folks over there how to weave straw hats. Didn't you go to get them?" It was quite a while ago. Even if those guys only weaved one or two a day, that should be enough.

Ah Yang was still smiling, looking silly, "We were in such a hurry to get out that we forgot about it."

Everyone was busy with their own things, so Ji Lang stopped chatting with them. They were surrounding the jujube trees in the field, which did not conflict with digging traps. After all, only one method could not completely solve the problem.

Ji Lang took Feng for a walk around several plots of land. Feng was a talkative person and kept asking questions.

"Brother Lang, what are you looking at?"

"I'll look for the whereabouts of those small animals. Generally, these guys like to go back and forth along the old road. We can dig traps in places where they will pass by, and they usually don't come to places where there are many people." In fact, this is just Ji Lang's guess. Although he grew up in the countryside when he was a child, he rarely went to work in the fields. After all, he was very good at making trouble at that time. When he was five years old, he dared to climb onto a tricycle while others were busy, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the tricycle into the small ditch next to it.

In addition, there are many people in the village, and these weaker creatures are afraid of people, so only occasionally a few of them will risk going to the fields to find food. Therefore, he has no idea about the habits of these guys and can only rely on guessing.

Feng's senses are not as strong as his brother's, so he can't help with this matter, but, "How about I bring Ermao over and let it help look for it."

Ji Lang thought it was feasible.
