Survival on the Island starts with a female boss

Chapter 37 Trigger Trap

Of course, in this case, you must first find the roads that wild rabbits often pass by, such as roads for drinking fresh water and foraging roads. If you can find clues, you can set up a trigger trap, which will not waste too much money. Physical strength, you can get fresh protein.

It can be said that it is a wonderful idea that kills multiple birds with one stone, once and for all. Of course, this is under the premise of being able to catch prey.

Time passed by without knowing it. During these few hours, Ma Yongqiang did not know how many bushes he turned over and smashed. The wooden spear in Ma Yongqiang's hand was already stained with leaves. Green chlorophyll.

Rubbing his swollen and sore arms and wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Ma Yongqiang had to admit that maybe the wild rabbits are on holiday today and are resting at home.

Ma Yongqiang finally recognized the cruel reality. Today's rabbit meat meal might be ruined. Looking at the sun hanging high in the middle of the sky, he knew that he had been out for a whole morning, but now his empty hands made Ma Yongqiang feel sad. A little irritable.

Frustrated, Ma Yongqiang decided to go back in a very decadent manner, comforting himself, or else, to find some seafood such as oyster barnacles to cushion his stomach.

Anyway, in the current situation, if you want to hunt a hare, there may really be some idiots talking in their sleep.

Of course, Ma Yongqiang's trip was not all fruitless. Ma Yongqiang found a piece of mugwort in the woods. In this season, the mosquitoes on the island are also very troublesome.

Not to mention Ma Yongqiang's rough skin and thick flesh, just say that Yu Tina's fair skin is full of red envelopes bitten by mosquitoes. close to collapse.

In addition, mugwort is a relatively common Chinese herbal medicine. The most common functions are that it is often used to treat cold pain symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, cold pain in trusted subordinates, and mugwort leaves can be used.

Second, mugwort leaves also have the effect of stopping bleeding, so mugwort leaves soaked in water can be used for blood disorders caused by cold causes, such as vomiting blood, coughing up blood, menorrhagia in women, metrorrhagia, etc. can use mugwort leaves.

Third, soaking mugwort leaves in water can play a role in preventing miscarriage for some patients with restless fetal movement.In short, mugwort leaf is a warm medicine, soaking mugwort leaves in water can treat some pain and bleeding caused by cold syndrome.

Fourth, drive away mosquitoes: Artemisia argyi leaf itself has a special fragrance that can make mosquitoes very afraid. In summer, apply some artemisia leaf water on the skin to drive away mosquitoes.

So take back some mugwort leaves and dry them for later use, because Yu Tina is a girl after all, and everyone should understand some troubles of girls. There are always a few days in a month that are not peaceful, and abdominal pain and body cold are more common. .

In addition, the older generation in rural areas use mugwort to repel mosquitoes. During the Dragon Boat Festival in May, the older generation will use mugwort to sew sachets for children to prevent mosquito bites. Ma Yongqiang, who grew up in the countryside The usefulness of this is still vivid.

When Ma Yongqiang returned to the place where several people lived, he accidentally discovered a fresh mouse hole.

As a creature, mice have to be said to have a really strong ability to reproduce and survive. The footprints of mice are all over the world. They exist in places where human beings live, and they also exist in places where human beings do not live.

Looking at the fresh soil around the mouse hole, Ma Yongqiang excitedly put down the moxa leaf and the wooden spear in his hand.

Pick up a stone slab with a large flat area, and fold a few branches, use the thicker one, fold it out to a length of about ten centimeters, smooth the top of the stick with a stone, and polish the bottom with a sharper stone A groove that is not too deep comes out. The groove does not need to make a full circle of the branch, only half a circle is required.

Then find a relatively straight branch, fold it into a shape about seven or eight centimeters, tie the prepared rope on one end of the stick, and tie a thin branch on the other end of the rope, and tie one end of the thin branch. Long and short.

Then put the stone slab on the road where the mice often pass by, with the thick branch facing upwards, and the straight branch that has just been tied on it.

Place them in a T-shape on a smoothed branch, leave about a centimeter at one end to support the weight of the stone slab, and tie the rope to the other end, wrap the rope around the groove carved by the thick branch, Put the longer end of the twig in half a circle on the other side of the groove, and a small twig is exposed in the groove. Take a slender stick, and put one end against the stone slab and the other end against the flowing water. That section of branch.

Place it in this way, find a balance point, put the small wooden stick against the stones and branches at a height that the mouse can just touch, if there are mice or other small animals passing by, if you touch this small wooden stick , the tripping device will be automatically triggered, pressing the prey under the stone slab, and waiting until he harvests the prey.

Of course, this set of trigger traps, if there is bait, the chance of the prey triggering the trap is even greater.

Therefore, learning a set of methods for making traps will undoubtedly be of great help to the chances of surviving in the wild. After all, it saves time and effort, and can be used repeatedly.

Ma Yongqiang made several such trigger stone traps in a row in this rat-infested place, hoping to have a good harvest when he comes next time.

Patting the dust on his body, Ma Yongqiang twisted his sore waist a few times, picked up the mugwort leaf and the wooden spear, and set off towards the gathering place.

After a busy morning, Yu Tina picked up some kelp heads called urinary catheters from the beach, carefully washed away the sediment in the sea water, and cleaned them up. Now she is waiting for Ma Yongqiang to hunt some wild rabbits and other small animals. Biology, you can cook a pot of delicious food rich in nutrition and rich in protein and dietary fiber.

While waiting for Ma Yongqiang to come back, Yu Tina dug a sandpit on the beach again, made the same simple seawater distillation device as yesterday, and was sitting by the campfire to calcinate pebbles.

When Ma Yongqiang walked slowly out of the woods with a pile of mugwort leaves in his arms, Yu Tina, who was sitting by the fire and fiddled with pebbles, looked up and saw him.

Yu Tina looked at Ma Yongqiang's hands holding the leaves of wormwood, not to mention wild rabbits all over her body, and there was no rabbit hair, and asked Ma Yongqiang with a disappointed expression:

"Didn't you catch it?"

Looking at Ma Yongqiang, he nodded helplessly, with a forced smile on his face, like Ma Yongqiang comforting:

"It doesn't matter. I harvested quite a lot today. Look at the harvest of so many kelp and seaweed, it should be enough for us to eat."

Ma Yongqiang put down the wormwood in his hand, looked at the deep disappointment in Yu Tina's eyes, and understood that Yu Tina was comforting himself, so he turned around and walked towards the reef area, talking while walking.
