Chapter 51 Rope Trap



When Wang Tianxiao tied the rope around his waist, he deliberately left a long section and tied a snare around it. It was a snare specifically designed to capture large animals; once caught, not only a small deer, but even a wild buffalo would be unable to escape.

He definitely wanted the deer to obediently be put into the bag, but if the deer refused to comply and just wouldn't listen, he would have no choice but to use this package on the deer.

In his past life, he had used this kind of meal to treat many animals in the mountains. Carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores were all treated fairly and impartially.

With everything prepared, he breathed a sigh of relief, secretly clenched his fist, and cheered himself on. After all, it had been more than ten years since he had done this kind of thing, and suddenly picking it up again made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

He closed his eyes, stood quietly for thirty seconds to calm his mind, then opened his eyes, parted the bushes, and slowly walked inside.

In winter, most trees in Yangziling have lost their leaves and become bare. The only trees that still retain their leaves are some cold-resistant pines and shrubs.

The bushes in front of him had never been cleared and had grown wildly with very long thorns. Even though Wang Tianxiao was wearing a coat and was very careful to avoid them, some thorns still accidentally scratched his wrist, leaving several bloody marks.

He gritted his teeth and remained silent.

After stepping over a bush more than a meter wide, there were several meters of very soft ground inside, completely covered with fallen leaves. Wang Tianxiao, unaware of the situation, gently stretched out one foot and found that it was very soft underfoot, just like stepping on bread.

Every step he took gave him a sense of impending doom.

He tried to slow his breathing, making his heartbeat more even and gentle, and tried to maintain relative balance with his hands, mimicking the posture of acrobats on TV walking on a tightrope, so that both feet could maintain the same pressure.

Walking slowly yielded good results.

He noticed several deer footprints on the ground, very close together and very shallow.

The short distance indicates a short stride, meaning the deer's legs are short. The shallow footprints could mean it was moving very fast and only touched the ground briefly, or it could be that it was too light to leave any trace.

From any perspective, the fawn was a young fawn, which perfectly matched Wang Tianxiao's expectations and made him even more determined to rescue it.

It's all money.

It took Wang Tianxiao almost a minute to walk a distance of just a few meters. He finally arrived at the edge of the gorge and looked down into it.

Suddenly I saw a deer.

It was a small male sika deer, its antlers not yet fully grown, its tail short, and its markings very faint.

Standing in front of it, Wang Tianxiao discovered that the gorge was only about 30 or 40 centimeters wide, and the little deer was stuck inside, unable to go up or down, and could only tilt its head back and call out.

Upon seeing Wang Tianxiao, the little deer paused for a moment, staring at him curiously before falling silent.

A deer's eyes are like a child's eyes, exceptionally bright and innocent, like crystal-clear beads, untouched by any pollution or wear.

It was probably seeing humans for the first time, and it didn't seem nervous or frightened.

In contrast, the little jackal I encountered a few days ago was also small, but its eyes were filled with ferocity and bloodlust, ready to tear its enemies to shreds at any moment.

Different living environments put animals in different competitive situations from the very beginning.

The deer in Ziwu Ridge have many natural enemies, but few in number. Moreover, since the mountains and forests are the deer's home ground, those natural enemies do not have an absolute advantage over them.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the deer here live a fairly comfortable life.

"Hey hey~"

The deer called out twice to Wang Tianxiao.

"Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to get you up right away."

"Na na".

"Yeah, I know you're scared, that's why I came."

"Hey hey~"

"Are you hungry? Don't worry, we'll make you something delicious when we get back."

"Hey."

Little Deer finally agreed.

While Xiao Lu had settled things, Wang Tianxiao was facing some difficulties on the scene.

Judging from the location, the deer is about two or three meters below the ground. Even if you stretch your arm out, you can't reach the deer. It's also not realistic to stick your body inside.

The ground above the gorge is very soft and could easily split, which could cause him to get stuck in the gorge like the deer.

Even if the ground isn't split, a person can't fit through a width of 30 to 40 centimeters; they could easily get stuck halfway down.

If you don't go in, you won't be able to reach the deer's legs, so how can you pull it up?

"Brother, how's it going over there? Have you seen any deer?"

"Yes, I saw it."

"Then hurry up and pull it up, I want to see what a deer looks like."

"It's not that easy. This gorge is barely as thick as a person's body, and the deer fell several meters deep. A person can't even reach the deer's body. How can we catch it?"

"Well..." Wang Tianxin fell into thought, then quickly called out, "Brother, have you forgotten how we used to catch weasels when we were kids?"

So that's how it can be done.

Yes!

Wang Tianxiao's eyes lit up.

When we were kids, we would make a loop in the rope and put it over the entrance of the weasel's hole. The moment the weasel ran out of the hole because it was flooded, we would quickly pull the rope in so that the weasel's head would fit right through the loop.

If you can catch a weasel, why can't you fish for a deer?

Come to think of it, a weasel's head is only a little short, while a deer's legs are quite long.

Wang Tianxiao immediately tightened the knot to prevent the fawn's leg from slipping off, and then slowly slid the rope down the crevice of the gorge.

"Little deer, be good, put your paws in, and if you behave, I'll pull you up, okay?"

"Hey."

After seeing Wang Tianxiao, the little deer perhaps felt less lonely, as it stopped barking and kept staring at him with its adorable eyes.

Seeing Wang Tianxiao put down a rope noose, it curiously sniffed it, then bit it in its mouth and shook it back and forth, even starting to chew on the rope with its teeth, its expression becoming surprisingly cheerful.

Wang Tianxiao was both amused and exasperated.

Little guy, have you forgotten your position?

This is game time, right? If you really want to play, come with me, and I'll play with you as much as you want.

He gently tugged at the rope, shook it, and slowly pulled it out of the fawn's mouth. He then lifted it to the hole, readjusted the rope to the correct size, and slowly lowered it down again.

That idiot, he put it in his mouth again.

this……

Wang Tianxiao was depressed.

He had no choice but to pull it up again and adjust the rope.

Because the noose is open, the deer can loosen it by pulling on it, and it's impossible to tie it tightly even if it's put through the leg.

And so it went, repeating the same story five times in a row.

Wang Tianxiao's patience waned considerably. After picking it up again, he didn't put it down immediately. Instead, he carefully examined the fawn for a while, then his eyes hardened, and he directly adjusted the noose into a large loop.

Choose the right moment and drop it vertically.

"Smack!"

Fate smiled upon him, and he managed to drop the noose perfectly and smoothly into the fawn's neck.
