From Chief to Ball

Tie one end of the slipknot to the bent tree, and a simple sling is done.

Wild boars are very strong. Before the appearance of wire, it was difficult for ordinary traps to support the pull of big boars.

Hanging kits are slightly different.Once the boar stepped into the pit, the hoof was tied with a slipknot.Instinctively, it runs forward desperately, pulling on the rope.

The rope will pull the branch stuck in the crevice of the stone out of the crevice, and the huge rebound force will directly drag the wild boar into the air.

Regardless of whether the front or rear legs are tethered, as long as the wild boar is off the ground, it can only rely on its own weight and cannot exert its strength.

And once it is hoisted, the huge inertia and elasticity may directly break the wild boar's hooves.

If the hoof is broken, even if the fangs are as fierce as a knife and the body of a tiger, then there is no need to worry.

In order to prevent them from escaping, Chen Jian set up four hanging traps in a row, and told the clansmen to be careful.

If you step on it, you will be dislocated, or the ligament will be torn, or even the skin on your calf will be pulled off.

After arranging all this, let the wolf lead a few people to ambush at the opposite entrance of the canyon.Tell the wolf skin to catch or shoot.

Wolfpi nodded hastily, with an expression that there was no need to talk nonsense.However, Chen Jian understood that if he didn't say anything, Wolfpi would definitely shoot the piglet to death with an arrow. He had a lot of side effects from playing with bow and arrow recently, and he liked shooting living things very much.

The women were placed at a distance and asked to climb trees in case the failed boar went mad.For women who pick wild fruits, acorns and pine nuts all the year round, climbing trees is as basic a skill as giving birth.

The rest of the men, such as himself and Song, held stone spears and waited for the other party to come back.

There are big hoof prints on the road, and wild boars also have their own territory. After replenishing the salt, they will definitely come back.

The clansmen squatted in the grass, never hunting like this.Although Chen Jian had shown Song and the others something unimaginable that day, he still didn't believe that a big pig could be caught with a rope?

This kind of big boar is not easy to provoke even a tiger, unless the tiger is extremely hungry, he will fight to the death.

Song couldn't believe that those few ropes were stronger than the tiger?

Chen Jian held the stone spear and waited anxiously.Even though I rubbed wormwood and mint on my body, mosquitoes of various colors kept buzzing above my head.

A grass crawler crawled on the back of his hand, he was startled, and quickly crushed it to death.Sesame-sized grass crawlers will bury their heads in the meat, and after drinking enough blood, their bodies can swell from sesame seeds to the size of corn kernels!Moreover, forest encephalitis can be transmitted, which is an unsolved disease even in later generations.

When everyone was restless, there was a humming sound in the canyon. The men shook their spirits and gripped the stone spears tightly.Song even stared at the lasso with wide-eyed eyes, wanting to see how all these things he thought impossible happened.

"coming!"

Chen Jian wiped the sweat from his palms on his hairy thighs and stared at the leading boar.

click...

The boar's hoof touched a branch over the pit, and the noose immediately tied his hind legs.

Instinctively, the boar snorted and ran forward a few steps in panic.

The cumbersome body and amazing strength pulled the rope, and the rope pulled the curved trunk, and the horizontal force made the curved trunk break away from the cracks in the stone, and immediately bounced straight.

With a whoosh, the rope suddenly straightened, and the tree trunk straightened, and with a bang, the rope broke alive, and the clansmen uttered a cry of regret in unison.

The boar was obviously frightened. Although the rope broke this time, the hind legs were already bloody.He took a step forward in panic and fell into the trap again.

A big boar weighing more than 400 kilograms was directly hung from a tree, with its hind legs hanging in the air and its front legs crawling vigorously on the ground, but it was of no avail.

"on!"

Chen Jian roared, and seven or eight people rushed out with stone spears, scaring the two sows and ran into the canyon.

The boar howled wildly, but its hind legs were hanging in the air, and the strength of its waist and abdomen was not enough to support it to make fancy ring movements, so it could only roar continuously to scare the group of hairless monsters away.

Chen Jian didn't dare to be careless, so he asked people to get out of the front of the boar, and stabbed at the boar with a stone spear.

The boar, half-hanging in the air, revealed its soft belly.

"Roar!"

The clansmen roared loudly, and pierced the boar's body with stone spears, and the blue-purple intestines flowed out, accompanied by screams.

The blood was winding on the ground like a small snake, Chen Jian patted his thigh, it's a pity, otherwise it could be a pot of blood.

The Songhe people were completely convinced this time.

Touching the tight noose, he was amazed that such a simple piece of vine could kill such a big boar, and he didn't have the slightest doubt about Chen Jian's words.

When the women heard the dying howl of the boar, they all jumped down from the trees in the distance and surrounded him, all surprised... So hunting can be so simple?

Chen Jian's aunts were unavoidably complacent about this issue, bragging about fishing with Chen Jian, and they caught the tribe's food for several days in a while, and claimed that they were tired of eating fish.

The roar of wolf fur came from the opposite side of the canyon. Chen Jian knew that the two sows had reached the opposite side, so he asked someone to cut the rope, so as not to be hung up when he led someone to catch the pigs.

"Catch the pig!"

He yelled, and the clansmen, both men and women, echoed loudly.

More than [-] people rushed into the canyon in a chaotic manner, chasing the little piglets scurrying all over the ground, echoing with squeaky calls, which were indescribably sweet.

Chapter 19 Homecoming

Four days later, on the north bank of the Grass River.

Chen Jian wiped the sweat off his face and put his hands on his shoulders, where a bloodstain was drawn by the rope.

Together with him, the strong clansmen pulled the birch bark boat with ropes.The wounded children and some older clansmen were on board, learning to use poles and paddles.

Because there were only three boats, and because going back was going upstream, Chen Jian chose to be a tracker on the Caohe River.

Before that, I was delayed for two days near Yixiantian, and boiled a lot of salt. I salted the meat of the big boar and smoked it with pine branches.

By the way, I wandered around the river valley plain, and found several primitive bean plants and distant relatives of some kind of wheat—wheat is a hybrid, and it is a mutated hybrid, similar to a fertile mule, not a thoroughbred horse.What kind of plant is found, we will not know until it bears fruit.

This expedition was quite rewarding, especially the dozen or so little piglets who had gradually become familiar with the existence of humans in the past few days.

More than a dozen piglets were put on board, along with a live sow.The mouth of the arch was tied with a rope, and the four legs were also tied with ropes.

It doesn't work if you don't tie it up. Pigs are born to swim, which is much better than humans.After a person comes out of the amniotic fluid, he forgets the ability to swim.Most of the current clansmen thrown into the river will be overwhelmed by the water, which is far worse than pigs.

These were all thrown overboard, not too heavy even against the current.

It's just that there is no light burden on the long journey, the sun is scorching, the sweat is like beans, soaking in the eyes, it hurts very much.

"Jian, we're almost there, Taohe is ahead."

Wolfpi pointed to a hill in the distance, where the tribe used to go hunting.Chen Jian rubbed his eyes, the surrounding grass looked distorted by the hot air.

"Take a break and get home before dark."
