Chapter 197 No, I can’t just sit there and wait for death
"They all have cars, yet they still come to steal our meat."
"Fuck, do these people want us to live?"
"Hurry up, hurry over there, we must not let them succeed."
…
Meng Ci and the others naturally heard these words, but Meng Ci and Shen Que were not moved.
It was just a verbal conflict and had no effect on them.
But after hearing these words, Huang Zhi was quite unhappy and almost rushed forward to argue with them. Fortunately, he was stopped in time by Zhang Mingtian and others.
"Brother, these people are too much. So what if they have a car?"
"Having a car only shows that you are capable. If they don't have a car, they are incapable."
"To actually say that about you now is too much."
When it was extremely cold, Huang Zhi followed Meng Ci and others to kill wild beasts.
Since then, he has admired Meng Ci and Shen Que very much, especially after receiving many gifts from them, he has been extremely supportive of them.
Moreover, ever since Meng Ci and his family sent a pair of rabbits, his originally dazed son actually took the initiative to take care of the rabbits, and his mental state became better and better.
Therefore, Huang Zhi was deeply grateful to Meng Ci and Shen Que.
If he hadn't felt that he wasn't familiar enough with the two brothers, he would have gone to thank them long ago.
Now that he heard someone slandering his elder brother, he naturally felt unhappy.
When Meng Ci heard Huang Zhi's words, he couldn't help but look at him twice. Seeing that he was speaking sincerely, he comforted him with a few words.
"No problem."
"They are so cold and mean, they are just jealous of our good life."
"Why bother paying attention to them."
"That's right, that's right." Zhang Mingtian let go of Huang Zhi's hand and echoed Meng Ci's words of comfort.
"We came here today to catch birds. This is supposed to be a happy thing, but we can't let them ruin our mood."
Although Huang Zhi was still dissatisfied, he was eventually appeased.
Brother Zhang is right, catching a bird is a big deal and we can’t miss it.
Then, the four of them began to discuss catching birds.
These birds usually live deep in the forests, and the roads leading to the mountains are not suitable for vehicles.
If you park your car here, what if it is damaged by someone with ulterior motives?
"What is the sense of smell of those birds?" Meng Ci stared at the woods. He could no longer hear the sound of the group of residents and guessed that they had gone far away.
Zhang Mingtian said: "They are much more sensitive than the birds before the end of the world."
Meng Ci heard this and had an idea in mind.
"Why don't we just catch birds here!"
Meng Ci naturally had his considerations when he expressed this idea.
The group was moving so ostentatiously deep into the forest that perhaps the birds would be frightened and fly away.
If you place bait at the entrance at this time, you may be able to catch a few.
Zhang Mingtian and Huang Zhi had unconditional trust in Meng Ci, so they agreed to the proposal.
As for Chen Que, he completely followed Meng Ci's lead.
With a solution in mind, several people began to take action.
In order to ensure that Meng Ci and his companions would not return empty-handed, Zhang Mingtian and his companion specially brought half a rabbit and put it directly in a sealed box to prevent the blood smell from escaping and being noticed by others.
Now that there was no one around, he took the things out and then cut them into several long strips with scissors for later use.
Meng Ci and Shen Que walked around and chose a location to set the trap.
One place is in front of a big rock. People can hide behind the rock and wait for the birds to come so that they can take action in time.
One is near the off-road vehicle, for the same reason as above.
Then Meng Ci chose another open space, took out two traps, and put meat in them.
This animal trap was placed in the car by Meng Ci earlier. When Zhang Mingtian and the others asked about its origin, Meng Ci only said that he and Shen Que made it themselves.
Because it was the polar night, Zhang Mingtian and the others did not look closely. They also felt that since Meng Ci and the others were so powerful, it was reasonable for them to make traps, so they did not think much about it.
There are two animal traps that do not require human supervision. If any birds come to eat the meat, they will be trapped.
In order to prevent the trap from being taken away by birds, Meng Ci tied a rope to it.
The other two traps were nothing more than a huge dustpan propped up by a wooden stick with a rope tied to the stick.
If a bird comes over, just pull the rope to trap it.
However, due to the huge size of the birds at this time, someone must run over in time to hold down the dustpan to prevent the trapped birds from escaping.
Meng Ci had previously asked Shen Que what skills were needed to catch a bird, and now as long as the bait was good, catching a bird shouldn't be a problem.
After the trap was set, Shen Que and Meng Ci squatted behind the SUV, while Zhang Mingtian and Huang Zhi stayed behind the stone.
Then everyone quieted down and waited for the birds to arrive.
However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was still no sign of the bird.
Meng Ci's legs were numb from squatting, so he took out two stools from the space in the darkness and sat down with Shen Que to wait.
After more than ten minutes, there was still no sign of birds.
Meng Ci felt it was inappropriate to waste time here.
Then he thought, maybe the strips of meat were too small and the bloody smell could not attract the attention of birds, so he wondered whether he should pick out a piece of pork.
Just as Meng Ci was holding his face and searching for something suitable in the space, he suddenly saw something and his eyes lit up.
Two of the three people who had tried to climb over their house with ladders were shot dead by Meng Ci and Shen Que with compound bows.
The arrow pierced deeply into the bodies of the two men, and was stained with a lot of blood. However, Meng Ci did not wipe off the blood and threw it directly into the space.
Because the space has the function of preserving freshness, the blood on the arrow is still fresh.
Meng Ci took out his cell phone, wrote down his plan on it for Shen Que to see, then put on his night vision goggles and quietly walked to the trap closest to him.
He placed the arrow inside, then went to the nearest trap and put the things away.
However, after waiting for a few minutes, no birds were attracted.
So Meng Ci took out a suffocated rabbit from the space, cut its neck directly, and put the blood in two traps.
Then Meng Ci left quietly.
Meng Ci threw the rabbit into a basin in the space, and at the same time he was thinking in his mind that he could cook the rabbit for food when he returned later.
A lot of rabbit blood was released this time, and Huang Zhi and Zhang Mingtian seemed to smell blood.
However, thinking that there were many wild animals in the mountains, and that someone might have been attacked by a wild animal, he did not take it seriously and continued to wait patiently for the arrival of the birds.
The two men had less meat to use before and were able to catch birds because they were in the forest.
Now it's far away, so this method is not feasible.
With Meng Ci's bloodletting and a gust of wind blowing, everyone heard a few fluttering sounds coming from the silent forest.
Those birds have been attacked by humans in the past few days, so they have become alert and are probably watching from a distance, not rushing forward.
