The next morning, we arrived at a relatively remote mountainous area.
Erlaizi and his companions carried a basket with some work tools and some hay in it.
These were all carried by Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei got a few pairs of gloves and asked them to wear them.
Gloves these days are of very hard quality and very durable.
Having done this, he took out a wood saw.
This was specially borrowed from a carpenter in the village. It is the longest one and requires two people to operate it.
It is enough to saw big trees, but using it to saw small brambles is obviously a waste of talent.
Some of this kind of bramble can survive by being planted on a pole.
Just take a gamble.
Even if it can't survive, it doesn't matter. You can dig out all the roots and then plant it again.
Of course, branches that have been cut by a saw should not be touched by hand.
The reason why Erlaizi and the others were covered with scars was that they did not do a good job of labor protection, used the dumbest methods to do things, and made themselves look very embarrassed.
The hay came in handy at this time.
Zhao Wei used branches to gather the thorns together and then tied them up with straw.
Finally, drag it into a backpack and carry it to the field.
This backpack is the largest and deepest one in their area, and is usually used to carry manure.
No matter how long the thorns are, they won't prick people if you put them inside.
The five apprentices went back and forth ten times and finally cleared all the thorns in the place.
What is unexpected is that there are actually several snakes hidden in this thorn bush, and they are very poisonous snakes.
These snakes have awakened from hibernation, and passers-by who pass by this place may be killed.
Erlaizi and his friends were so frightened that they were all thankful when they saw this kind of snake.
When they came yesterday, there were no bites.
"Master, this thing is too fierce. We have almost finished dealing with it. Let's go!"
Several disciples just wanted to leave this place as far away as possible.
They still dare to catch common rat snakes and non-venomous water snakes, but they can't catch the poisonous ones even if they have the courage.
"Why are you panicking? This kind of snake can be used as medicine. Send it to the supply and marketing cooperative, and someone will buy it. You guys step back and let me do it!"
Zhao Wei is a skilled and courageous man, and he really doesn't take these snakes seriously.
Of course, I wasn't stupid enough to try to catch it with my bare hands.
The subject of wilderness survival has always been his biggest concern, and he has extensive experience in this area.
Find a long and strong branch and cut one end of it into a fork shape. The angle of the fork should not be too large, about 30 to 60 degrees.
Then, tie a very sharp dagger to the fork to enhance the fixation and piercing ability when catching the snake.
The five people saw that the fork pierced into the snake's vital point at an extremely fast speed, and it took only a few minutes to kill it.
After killing one, Zhao Wei suddenly realized that it might be more valuable if it was alive, as it would rot soon if killed.
So he threw the fork to Erlaizi, asking him to learn from it so that when he saw such things in the wild in the future, he could use this method to protect himself.
Then start making the lasso.
Find a thicker branch to use as a handle, fix one end of the rope to the branch, and make a noose on the other end.
This is similar to the hunting traps set in the mountains.
It's just that this one is smaller and lighter, making it easier for the snake to fit into it.
When the snake appears, slowly move the noose closer to the snake's head, then quickly pull the rope, wrap it around the snake's waist and tighten it.
In this way, a snake was caught.
There were four snakes in total. Except for one that was dead, the other three were captured alive, which was quite convenient.
After cleaning them up, he gave the task of planting thorns to the five of them, and he himself carried a few snakes to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.
The town is a bit deserted during this time of year.
Everyone was busy working in the fields, and no one was hanging around here.
Unexpectedly, the cowherds Mantun and Chunxiang were walking one after the other on the street.
At this time, Chunxiang's legs were limping.
And her man Mantun was walking in front with a gloomy face.
After seeing Zhao Wei, Chunxiang's eyes couldn't help but look at him, and her eyes seemed to have a thousand words to say.
This woman was no longer as pretty and bright as she once was. Her face was pale and she was so thin that her cheekbones were prominent. It seemed as if she had aged ten years overnight.
Zhao Wei once hated her very much and felt that she was ungrateful.
Let’s pity their misfortune!
Originally, if she had not stolen the money from her family and ran away, she would not have fallen off the ridge of the field and become lame.
Now it seems that after a winter of rest, her leg has not healed.
Moreover, looking at the disharmony between the couple, it was obvious that she had suffered a lot.
But what does this have to do with me?
He was about to turn around and leave when Mantun, who had been walking forward with his head down, happened to look back.
Then he saw Chunxiang's behavior and immediately became furious. He rushed up and slapped her several times.
"What the hell are you doing? I'm not dead yet, and you're here to pick up guys!"
"I'll beat you to death, you shameless bitch..."
…
This man, who had spent money and eagerly married this woman, had treated her like a discarded broom in just two or three months, and had been beating, scolding and insulting her at will.
Chunxiang kept crying and begging Mantun to let her go, saying that she had done nothing.
