He put a few slices of smoked agouti meat in. In order to increase the success rate of catching, he poured a drop of oil on each piece of meat to increase the aroma of the meat.
These oils were boiled from the fat of agouti meat. They were originally used as lamp oil reserves in the house, but he did not expect that he would develop new uses for them.
After doing all this, Xu Shiying opened the door of the shelter. A gust of cold wind blew in, making him shiver from the cold. The temperature was probably below zero, right?
Fortunately, he was wearing an agouti suit. Fortunately, the shelter was upgraded today. Otherwise, he was worried that the strong cold wind would blow the shelter down.
At noon, I felt too hot wearing the agouti suit. At night, even when I put on the agouti suit, I couldn't help but want to shrink my neck and crawl into bed to keep warm.
Gritting his teeth and braving the wind, Xu Shiying trudged out of the shelter. Xu Shiying placed the animal cage in his hand on the weeds around the shelter, so that he could do his best to eliminate the alertness of the beasts.
The wind is very strong now. If there is nothing to hold the cage down, the cage will be blown away.
It just so happened that when I was upgrading the shelter during the day, I had a few unused stones that could be used to press the corners of the cage to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
He even thought that if he captured a large beast like a fox or wolf, they might be able to escape with the cage because they were big and strong.
To this end, he cut off a section of rattan and tied it to the buckle of the cage. The other side of the rattan was tied to the largest stone, so as to prevent the beast from escaping to the greatest extent.
Ouch!
Suddenly, a series of wolf howls came to his ears, which startled him, and then he saw red lights emerging from the forest not far away.
He knew that those were the eyes of beasts.
Obviously, because of the existence of the green aperture, they were unable to cause a fatal attack on him, so these large beasts had never set foot in the green aperture.
When he was cutting down trees during the day, the reason why he didn't encounter a wild beast was not because he was lucky, but because he didn't step into the big forest at all and just happened to encounter a place with rows of trees.
These trees are relatively small, have no concealment, and cannot make nests at all. Wild beasts will naturally not come here to make their homes.
Of course there may be those who are good at digging holes, such as rabbits, mice, ants, etc., but he may be unlucky or these beasts are well hidden. When he went there, he found nothing, not even bird droppings. did not find.
At night, the hungry beasts will take advantage of the darkness and the small animals to relax their vigilance and come out to look for food.
Hearing the howling of wild beasts at this time, Xu Shiying felt wary.
It's just that these beasts just kept howling, but there was no other abnormal behavior.
Xu Shiying felt relieved when he saw that there was no movement from them.
He took a look at the pit and trap dug earlier. Even though the air was filled with the smell of blood, there was still no movement.
It may be that the agouti rats have increased their vigilance, and they will not make the same mistake again.
After all, once you make a mistake, you risk your life to pay for it.
It may also be that it has just gotten dark, and some beasts may not have woken up yet.
I really hope that the next morning, I can recreate the scene full of boxes.
Xu Shiying flirted a little and then walked into the room.
The moment he walked into the house, there was a commotion where the trap was buried, as if something was moving quickly.
From time to time, there were squeaking sounds coming out of his mouth. If Xu Shiying were here, he would definitely recognize it as the agouti he had longed for.
Suddenly, it smelled a scent, and its small eyes revealed a pair of greed.
Following the scent, he moved forward slowly, and soon came to the cage. When he saw the pieces of meat, his eyes widened involuntarily.
Just as he was about to eat the meat in the cage, the mouth of the cage was suddenly blocked.
For a moment, it seemed to realize something, and it was so frightened that it quickly dropped the piece of meat that was about to reach its mouth, and ran towards the cage mouth to escape.
However, if the cage is closed, will it be as it wishes?
Not accepting its fate, it slammed into the cage with its body, and even used its long thorns to attack the corners of the cage, trying to use the long thorns as knives.
However, its intention was good, but the reality was that when it stabbed the cage body continuously, the angle was a little off, and the cage body did not hit, but instead hit the cage gap.
It's fine now, its body is completely stuck in the cage, and it can't even move, let alone escape.
Its eyes dimmed. If it had known better to listen to its mother and not sneak out, it would have been doomed.
Looking at the full moon in the sky, the little agouti sighed, full of melancholy.
However, it didn't feel melancholy for too long, and then tried to stick out its tongue and hind paws, hoping to reach the meat.
The smell of meat slices is so fragrant, this is the most fragrant food smell it has ever smelled since it was born.
Even if it dies, it still has to find a way to eat the pieces of meat, otherwise it would be a pity to live like this.
…
Xu Shiying walked into the house, went to the stove, added some wood and a piece of charcoal.
Then we sat down by the fire to warm ourselves.
He planned to keep a memory of the bronze box on the table, which could be regarded as a source of confidence for survival, commonly known as a trump card.
Nowadays, the most items placed in the small wooden house are not food or wood, but wooden boxes.
Weiwei did the math and found that he had nearly twenty or thirty wooden boxes.
If the shelter could not be upgraded to level three in the near future, he felt that there would be no room for the boxes.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
Place these wooden boxes flat, then put the stone slab on top, and then apply some mud or something like that. Is it like a wooden bed?
Then I thought about it and realized that this process was too complicated. Not only did it consume a lot of wooden boxes, but it also required mud and other things. It was too troublesome.
It would be better to ask Brother Bai Zhong to make him a wooden bed.
I believe it will be very good.
Xu Shiying was just thinking about it when he suddenly heard a thumping sound.
He suddenly became alert and looked towards the door with squinted eyes.
Could it be that some wild beast has attacked?
Holding the memory metal knife tightly in his hand, he felt a little uneasy.
However, after waiting for a while, the sound completely disappeared.
Curious, he walked to the door cautiously, opened a crack in the door slightly, and looked around through the crack, but found that there was no one there.
Suddenly, the sound of "dong dong dong" sounded again, which scared him so much that he almost dropped the memory metal knife in his hand. His face was covered in sweat and his legs were shaking.
However, there was no one in front of him, which had to make him think more.
Could it be something unclean?
The more Xu Shiying thought about it, the more frightened he became.
This is not impossible, he has traveled through time, what else is impossible?
What's more, on the first day he came, he noticed that there were several earthen graves within a few kilometers of his shelter. Unclear things might have escaped from there.
He quickly closed the door and gasped for air.
Later, when I thought about it more carefully, I realized something was wrong.
