Chapter 216 Digging a Trap
We can't keep worrying like this. Since wild boars are coming down the mountain, we might as well find a way to catch them.
Anyway, it doesn't cost much to dig a few traps.
Liu Mingyuan suddenly realized: "...Little sister, I think this will work!"
If we can catch wild boars using this method, we can rid the village of this pest.
By then......
Can't they also get hundreds of pounds of wild boar meat?
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Liu Mingyuan said excitedly, "I'll go back and call my father and second brother over as well."
With more people, the trap can be dug faster.
Liu Yinyin nodded and added, "Help me take Yanyan over there. I'll go and give you guys some fresh air later."
It would be bad if they encountered a wild boar coming down the mountain while they were digging the trap. Liu Yinyin could help watch it for them, which would be safer.
"OK."
There was no time to lose, Liu Mingyuan carried Gu Yanyan to the Liu family.
Before, several brothers of the Liu family helped Gu Cheng dig traps in the mountains.
Now I have some experience.
The Liu family father and son were busy digging traps, and Liu Yinyin was watching over them and helping them from time to time.
After working all day, we dug several traps outside the yard, and there were pits everywhere.
In order to prevent someone from accidentally falling in, Liu Yinyin gave reminders.
Liu Laifu looked at the big holes on the ground and felt relieved: "This way, our home is indeed much safer."
A layer of snow was laid on top to cover it up, and the trap was ready.
When I was sleeping at night, suddenly, a sharp howl came from not far away.
Liu Yinyin was awakened instantly.
Judging from the sound...prey must have been hooked.
It was pitch black outside. At this moment, Liu Yinyin didn't have the courage to go out to check what was going on. She turned over and continued to sleep.
The next day, at daybreak, Liu Yinyin got up from the bed.
Looking around, I couldn't see anything unusual. I didn't know whether the wild boar had escaped or fallen into a trap. I couldn't hear any movement at the moment.
There were children at home, so Liu Yinyin didn't dare go alone to check the situation, as it was a bit risky.
After thinking about it, Liu Yinyin called the little yellow dog over to take a look.
The little yellow dog runs fast, so there will be no danger even if it encounters a wild boar.
The little yellow dog was smart. It ran outside, looked around, and then ran back immediately.
He barked at Liu Yinyin a few times, and then wanted to lead her outside.
Liu Yinyin understood what it meant immediately. There was no danger at all.
"Good little Huang, there will be something good to eat later. I'll give you some meat!"
Gu Yanyan is still sleeping.
Liu Yinyin went to the kitchen, got an axe, and went out with the little yellow dog.
When I walked over to where the trap was dug, I saw...
Liu Yinyin was almost scared to death. There was a big wild boar in the first trap. The wild boar was only slightly injured but not dead.
At this moment, hearing the noise, the big wild boar raised its mane, bared its two long fangs, and glared at Liu Yinyin fiercely.
His eyes were sharp and fierce.
Unfortunately, the trap was too deep and the wild boar couldn't climb out at all.
Liu Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the next trap to check...
Good guys!
It was another big wild boar, even bigger than the previous one.
Liu Yinyin thought that they might be a couple.
In addition to these two big wild boars, there were several other traps and three small wild boars.
Liu Yinyin: “…”
Is this a family of five?
Several wild boars fell into the trap. Although they were slightly injured, their fighting power remained undiminished.
Liu Yinyin definitely cannot deal with two big wild boars.
But there were a few little wild boars. Liu Yinyin bought two spears from the system and stabbed the two big wild boars severely...
Afterwards, he decided to go all out and killed the three little wild boars.
Liu Yinyin can definitely take all five wild boars for herself.
But the trap was dug by the Liu family. Even if they didn't make any contributions, they worked hard. We can't leave them with nothing.
Besides, she was alone and couldn't finish all the wild boar meat.
Liu Yinyin thought for a moment, waved her hand, and sold a big wild boar and a small wild boar to the system...
The harvest was good, two wild boars, weighing about 400 kilograms of pork meat.
In just a short period of time, Liu Yinyin earned more than 13,000 yuan.
Liu Yinyin nodded contentedly.
The remaining one big wild boar and one small wild boar...
Taking advantage of the fact that no villagers came out to move around at this time, Liu Yinyin called the little yellow dog to go to Liu's house to call for help.
About twenty minutes passed.
Liu Laifu and his sons hurried over.
Liu Laifu asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
This place is far away from the village, so not many people heard what happened last night.
Liu Yinyin pointed to the trap nearby and said with a smile, "Dad, you will know once you take a look."
"Oh my God!" Liu Mingyuan was stunned after seeing it.
Brother Liu Eldest and Brother Liu Second also looked frightened.
Liu Laifu was relatively calm. He looked at the wild boar in the trap and asked Liu Yinyin, "Did you cause the wound on the wild boar?"
They dug a deep trap, but for fear of accidentally hurting anyone, they didn't put any sharp weapons inside.
The wounds on the wild boar's body looked like they were caused by something sharp.
Liu Yinyin had already put the spear into the system warehouse. She said vaguely, "...I just stabbed the wild boar with a long knife."
There was indeed a long knife in the house, made by Gu Cheng.
However, the long knife at home is a bit heavy.
It's a little inferior to the spear Liu Yinyin bought from the system.
Liu Laifu thought about it and agreed, saying without a doubt: "Okay, don't do such dangerous things alone next time..."
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Liu Laifu said again, "Hurry up and move the wild boar back, and then clean up the blood in the trap."
Three wild boars, one big and two small, were carried into Liu Yinyin's yard.
Judging from Liu Lai Fu's expression, he obviously thought that these three wild boars must belong to the young lady.
Liu Yinyin said, "...Dad, you guys can secretly take the three wild boars back later. You know I don't like eating wild boar meat."
This is true. Liu Yinyin really doesn't like eating wild boar meat. It's fishy and tough.
In her eyes, they are not as good as domestic pigs.
Liu Laifu said directly: "If you don't want to eat it, sell it."
The lady is not without connections. Besides, the weather is cold now and the wild boar meat will not go bad for a long time, so it can be sold slowly.
Liu Yinyin said with shame: "Dad, you dug the trap, how can you give all the wild boars to me? It's tiring to carry them to the county town to sell them. My family really doesn't need them."
That's what I said!
If it were someone else, how could they not make money even if they had it?
Liu Laifu frowned and said, "That's outrageous."
For country people, being able to make money is a blessing, so a little hard work doesn't matter.
