After the trap is set, everyone, including a few hunting dogs, will be divided into several groups.
There must be people and hunting dogs in at least three directions to drive the wild boars to the trap location.
In addition, there should be people responsible for ambush and shooting around the trap to kill the lucky wild boars that avoid the trap.
After Chen Jianjun finished expressing his ideas, everyone else thought there was nothing wrong with it and agreed to the plan.
So, several people began to discuss how to form groups.
The end result was that Chen Wang and his master were divided into a shooter group, responsible for ambushing around the trap and waiting for the prey to arrive.
First, Chen Wang and Chen Jianjun are good enough at shooting, and second, Chen Jianjun has difficulty walking and is not suitable to be responsible for driving away prey.
In addition, the driving teams in three directions were composed of Yang Heping and his youngest son Yang Xuewu, Yang Xuewen and Chen Dazhuang, who were more stable. The hunting dogs of the Yang family and Chen Dazhuang were divided into two groups.
Then Yan Laoliu will be in charge of a team alone, but in addition to his own hunting dogs, he will also bring Chen Wang’s two hunting dogs.
After discussing the grouping, everyone, led by Chen Dazhuang, came to the traces left by the migration of wild boars.
There are many footprints and wild boar feces around.
"The feces is very fresh. They may have walked through this place again today. And there are quite a lot of wild boars in this group, at least a dozen of them."
After observation, Yang Heping expressed his own judgment based on his many years of hunting experience.
Chen Jianjun and Yan Laoliu both nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement.
"Then let's quickly find this herd of wild boars!"
Chen Dazhuang said with a smile.
“Bang!”
He was suddenly slapped on the back of his head with such force that he almost staggered forward.
Chen Dazhuang looked at his father with a puzzled look, touched the back of his head and said, "Dad, why did you hit me?"
Chen Wang and others also looked confused.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I've told you so many times that the most taboo thing when hunting is to be in a hurry. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, understand?"
Chen Jianjun scolded with a sullen face.
"But I'm not in a hurry!"
Chen Dazhuang retorted with a bitter face.
"You weren't anxious just now? And you're still being stubborn?"
"I……"
"He was indeed anxious. I saw it. Uncle, there was nothing wrong with your beating."
Yang Xuewu suddenly took over the conversation with a gloating smile on his face.
"you--"
Chen Dazhuang was extremely angry.
"Xiao Wu, shut up!"
Yang Heping scolded his youngest son, then smiled and said something to smooth things over: "Brother Chen, if you have something to say, please talk nicely. Don't be angry!"
"Stop wasting time here, let's go!"
Chen Wang seemed to realize something. He withdrew his gaze from his master and urged him.
"Yes, let's go and find this herd of wild boars first."
Yang Heping nodded in agreement.
So, everyone followed the traces left by the wild boars.
Ruyi, the Yang family's Xiasi dog, and Yan Laoliu's fine dog all have top-notch sense of smell. The smell left by the wild boars is also very strong. Even if there are no footprints in some places due to the soil quality, several dogs can easily lock the location.
…
…
After walking for about forty to fifty minutes, they arrived at a hilly area.
There are low hills all around.
The hunting dogs led everyone to the top of a hill and stopped, staring ahead with their eyes.
Chen Wang and others looked and saw a small lake in the distance. A group of wild boars of all sizes gathered by the lake. Some were drinking water, while others were nibbling on tender grass, looking for food.
There was excitement on everyone's face and their eyes were burning.
“More than I thought!”
Yang Heping murmured excitedly.
"That's a good place to set traps."
Yan Laoliu suddenly spoke, raised his hand and pointed to a dense forest in the distance.
The dense forest is located to the northeast of the lake. Once the wild boars are driven away, they will definitely flee into the depths of the dense forest.
"Then hurry around and set it up."
Yang Heping said with a smile.
Everyone agreed, so they made a detour into the dense forest and began setting traps not far from the lake.
With three experienced old hunters present, this step was carried out very efficiently.
Yan Laoliu and Yang Heping set up steel wire nooses. Once a wild boar stepped on one of them, it would be trapped. The more it struggled, the tighter the noose would be.
Chen Wang, Chen Dazhuang and the four young men of the Yang family were digging the pit under the command of Chen Jianping.
Yes, this is the simplest trap.
The master was well prepared and brought two shovels.
The four people were divided into groups of two and took turns digging the pit. The remaining two people were responsible for finding some sturdy wooden sticks, sharpening the heads, and then inserting them under the pit.
After Chen Jianjun has checked it, he will cover the pit with weeds and some soil.
It can be imagined that once the wild boars flee towards this side, many of them will fall into the pit and be directly pierced by the sharp wooden sticks.
Everyone was busy and sweating, and no one was lazy.
Although they were a little tired, the thought of the wild boars falling into the trap as they planned made them excited and it was all worth it.
During the period, Chen Dazhuang stopped several times due to tiredness, and was caught by Chen Jianjun and slapped several times.
Chen Dazhuang felt very aggrieved and asked why only he was beaten.
Chen Jianjun asked back without changing his expression, "Do I need a reason to beat my son?"
Later, Chen Dazhuang gradually realized that his father obviously did it on purpose.
As the sun sets, the forest gradually darkens.
After Yan Laoliu and Yang Heping had arranged enough wire noose, they returned together.
"Brother Chen, are you done?"
"That's about the same."
Chen Jianjun smiled and nodded.
"Great, let's get it done quickly, and then drive the wild boars away according to the plan, so that they won't migrate to other places when it gets dark."
Later, Yan Laoliu and Yang Heping also joined in to help.
After a while, the earth pit trap was completed.
Everyone drank some water, divided the food they had brought with them and simply filled their stomachs, then began to act according to the groups they had agreed upon previously.
After the others left, Chen Wang and his master squatted on each side of the bushes and trees on both sides of the earth pit traps, loaded bullets into their double-barreled shotguns, and waited for the prey to arrive.
Chen Wang was still holding half a pancake in his hand, eating it slowly and unhurriedly, with the remaining half of the kettle of boiled water placed next to him.
It was getting darker in the woods.
This situation actually affects the accuracy of their shooting, and they can only hope that others will drive the wild boars over as soon as possible.
“Bang!! Bang!!”
Suddenly, gunshots were heard in the distance.
The action has begun.
Chen Jianjun poked his head out from behind a big tree over there and shouted, "Awang, it's coming, get ready."
"clear!"
Chen Wang picked up the kettle, swallowed the food in his mouth with a sip of water, then held the shotgun with both hands and got ready.
