Hearing the gunshots, Er Laizi panicked and fired a few shots at the herd of animals.
The scene was so messy that the beasts fled like a flood in just a few seconds, leaving only a pile of messy footprints and some feces. Nothing else could be seen.
Er Laizi put away his gun with some regret: "Alas... my bad luck, I didn't hit any one."
He clearly aimed at it...it must be that the gun was crudely made and not standard.
Tsk tsk…
The crowd had no time to discuss the gains and losses. Seeing that Zhao Wei had jumped down from the tree, they quickly jumped out from their hiding places and a group of people quickly gathered together.
Zhao Wei pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, then waved his hand.
"Let's go and see how much we can harvest this time."
Everyone followed excitedly and soon found the trap that had been set.
Two of them were stepped on and did not work, and several were in a triggered state, but perhaps the captured beasts exceeded the carrying capacity of the traps, and the beasts exerted too much force and eventually escaped.
There was only one trap left, and it actually caught a big-nosed sheep, which got its name mainly because of its particularly high and big nose.
This sheep is huge, weighing about 100 pounds, heavier than an adult wolf.
The noose of the trap was fastened securely to one of its hooves, and even though it were as strong as an ox, it could not break free from the rope.
This is not an ordinary rope, but one that Zhao Wei made himself when he was free. It is made of the relatively rare sisal.
It was also when he moved to the new house and was chopping firewood in the back mountain that he saw a pile of sisal leaves on the ground.
I picked up a lot of them at that time, used a knife to cut the skin of the leaves, and tore off the fibers in the leaves, thus accumulating a lot of raw materials.
You can take it and rub it as you like. When you are roasting fire or cooking, or when you have nothing to do at night when you can't see the light and can't do anything, just take out the fiber thread, put it on your thighs and start rubbing it.
After verifying it, it was found that it was very tough and durable. Compared with ordinary hemp rope, it was the best tool to catch wild animals.
When the people present saw this result, they all screamed with excitement.
"Ahhh... we've become rich. Now we can all have meat to eat..."
"Oh my god, it's so big. It looks weird. I don't know what it's called, but it must be very valuable."
"Brother Wei is so awesome. Without your skill, we wouldn't have gotten anything! Following you really gives us meat to eat, hahahaha..."
…
Zhao Wei shook his head: "It's just a big-nosed sheep and you're so beautiful. Go inside, I hit quite a few of them."
"Hiss... Yeah, I only heard you fire several shots just now. I was so scared by the beasts at the time that I didn't pay attention to whether you hit anything. Come on, let's go and check it out."
Because of the heavy snow and fog, everyone could only see a crowd of crows and the roar of wild beasts, like a tsunami. Thinking about it now, it still makes people feel scared.
Zhao Wei quickly led everyone to the nearest place, dug into the ground, and dug out a lifeless beast.
The guy was covered by the falling snow and was hit right on the top of the head by a bullet.
Judging from its size, it is comparable to the big-nosed sheep.
After finally getting the chance to hunt to his heart's content, Zhao Wei did not shoot randomly, but only targeted larger beasts.
When everyone dragged him out, they were so excited that they were speechless and didn't know how to praise Zhao Wei's marksmanship.
However, this was not the end. Zhao Wei continued to lead the crowd and dug out three wild beasts of different sizes one after another.
Some are river deer, some are yellow muntjacs, and the most amazing one is the one with white socks.
This guy looks like an ordinary buffalo, but his bones are taller and stronger, and his limbs are white from the elbows to the knees, as if he is wearing white socks, hence the name.
When this big guy appears, it seems like no one can compete with him for the top.
The prey that had previously made everyone sigh in amazement, now looked like his younger brothers in front of him.
This thing, by visual inspection, must weigh over a thousand pounds, or even more.
Even though the nine-man team were all strong laborers, they felt weak in the knees just thinking about carrying such a big thing away.
"Brother Wei, this thing is too big. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to drag it back. What should we do?"
"How about... we go back to the village and call them? At worst we can give them some meat as a thank you."
Everyone agreed that it would be more reliable to ask for help.
Zhao Wei looked at them coldly: "Do you really want to share a piece of the pie with others?"
If he couldn't carry the prey by himself, he wouldn't even want to share it with the eight of them, let alone share it with so many people in the village.
Naturally, everyone was reluctant to do so, so they had to use the dumbest method.
"Then how about...cutting it on the spot and taking it back in batches."
Although it is a bit tiring to run back and forth several times, everyone is willing to endure this little effort in order to earn some money.
Zhao Wei shook his head. "There are many ways to do this. There's no need to stick to the old ways."
"Second Laizi, take them with you and go cut four trees now. They must be straight, of uniform thickness, without obvious cracks or bends. They should be slightly thinner than the buckets we use to carry water."
"Then peel off as much bark as you can. The smoother the better. Don't throw away the peeled bark. Bring it back. It will be useful again."
Er Laizi now admired Zhao Wei so much that he nodded and agreed without thinking: "Yes, just wait and see, we will be able to cut it back soon."
