The Imperial Physician in the City - C287 mounting mechanism
Cao Ziyang brought them to a suitable place and began setting up traps. In fact, it was very simple to install it, it was to find a pile of grass with barnyard grass, in which there were traces of mountain birds passing through, and even if it was just their highway, they would choose their trapping spot, find a tough branch at the side, pull down a suitable one to tie up the rope, make a circle, and then use a wooden stick to make a small mechanism. As long as an animal stepped on it, the mechanism would immediately start up, and the small branch would spring up and pull the rope to tie up the small animal’s feet and hang it in midair.
When Cao Ziyang was done and there was such a simple mechanism, Tian Wen and Fang Nan looked at each other and asked: “Is that alright? What kind of trap is this? ”
Cao Ziyang cut a branch off and passed it to Fang Nan: “Try it yourself, you can casually touch the wooden sticks in the circle.”
Fang Nan took the branch and did as she was told. However, the moment she touched it, the mechanism activated and the branch was tied up and hung in the air.
Cao Ziyang said, “What do you think? If it was a small animal stepping on it, it would definitely be able to escape, right?”
Fang Nan said: “So that’s how it is, it is very interesting, who taught you to pretend? Does your whole village know it? ”
I should be able to tell, I was taught by my grandfather. He is definitely a master in this field, and he has a lot of harvests, probably three or four times a week, sometimes hare, sometimes pheasant, or other birds, hmm, and he has also tried the Manns, which is a type of especially large rat, and there are also various kinds of mice. It used to be easier, because the mountain was lush at that time, and after burning it once it would be difficult to recover, so we can only look unlucky.
Fang Nan said: “I will definitely be lucky, is it okay now?”
“You’ve messed us up. We need to reinstall it. Please help us collect some wet and dry leaves to cover up the traces of our stay here.” Cao Ziyang laughed, “After fighting with the hunters for such a long time, the small animals have become very smart and have a sense of smell. After all, the details of success or failure are decided, and it doesn’t matter if it’s installed or not, we still have to choose a location and set up a Bewitching Formation.”
Tian Wen said: “You really have learned a lot, but why don’t you use bait instead? “People die for money while birds die for food. Isn’t it easier to get bait?”
“It won’t work. For example, if the earthworm is placed in the trap, it won’t attract any animals if it’s dead. If it’s alive, it will trigger the trap. Even if there were no difficulties, what would be the result if the pheasant went to eat the earthworm? “The result is that your neck is tied up and you will die within ten seconds. By the time you arrive to be hunted, it will be ice-cold and your blood won’t flow. If you kill it, the meat will be blood-red, ugly, unpalatable and unnutritious.”
“So that’s the case. I understand now …”
“Get some hay.”
When Tian Wen and Fang Nan left, Cao Ziyang continued to set up the trap. When they returned with the half dry and wet grass leaves, Cao Ziyang had already installed it, and placed the half dry and wet grass leaves on the ground where he had stepped, covering up the tracks. It was a perfect trap. In order to increase the probability of catching animals, Cao Ziyang set up traps at five to six places. After they were set up, he brought Tian Wen and the others to the place where he dug medicine for Huang Suning.
He took out two bottles of mineral water from his bag and gave it to Tian Wen and Fang Nan respectively. Cao Ziyang said: “You two should rest for a while, I will go dig out some medicinal herbs for a stew. Then, I will dig out some medicinal herbs for Fang Nan. Cao Ziyang pointed in a direction, “But you can go over there and take a look. There are three tangerine fruit trees, see if there are any that are familiar with them, and don’t pick more. Because they are not ours, they belong to everyone.
Fang Nan asked: “What’s so good about Rural people?”
After all, things in the mountains belong to everyone, and being taken away by your family will cause a very vicious situation. Although everyone will not say anything, they will all be unhappy, so if one day your family has something they need help with, haha, you’re finished. No one will help you, and no one will lose out because of small matters, right?
Fang Nan and Tian Wen replied with an “oh” and looked towards the direction Cao Ziyang’s finger was pointing at at at at at the same time.
“Nonsense, am I lying to you? There are also persimmon, but this is not the season, but this season there is some kind of very good mushrooms, I’ll go pick some for dinner. ”
“There’s no poison in the mushrooms? I often watch the news about people who can’t get back from eating poisonous mushrooms. ”
“I am a doctor, and I am also a Chinese doctor. I am a very powerful Chinese doctor, hehe, boast a bit, but honestly, I already know whether there is poison in a plant or not, do you think I would be killed by it? Or poison you? ”
“Alright, you’re amazing.”
“You guys are still the best. You can’t even breathe after walking so far away.” Cao Ziyang felt that it was because he was in a good mood that he was able to see new things. Of course he would be full of energy, “Remember not to run around. If I leave, you’ll be back in half an hour …”
Tian Wen and Fang Nan both nodded their heads. Cao Ziyang immediately lit a cigarette, took the small hoe and medicine basket and left the bag with Tian Wen. He didn’t bring the bag with him since it was too much trouble. However, if Cao Ziyang knew that if he left them there, they would encounter the Swine. Not to mention carrying his backpack, he wouldn’t even find it troublesome to bring them with him. Even if it was troublesome, it would at least be safe!
Cao Ziyang didn’t go far, just two hundred meters around the area, looking for the herbs required, digging up the roots and placing them in the medicine basket. Cao Ziyang didn’t go far, around two hundred meters around the area, looking for the herbs needed, digging up the roots and putting them in the medicine basket.
However, after fifteen minutes, just as Cao Ziyang was about to finish his mission ahead of schedule, he suddenly heard a series of shrieks and the hissing of animals. Cao Ziyang immediately broke out in a cold sweat. There were a lot of wild animals in the deep mountains, and they rarely appeared. Normally, they would die the moment they appeared, so Cao Ziyang had seen plenty of old people in the village.
Without thinking too much, Cao Ziyang immediately put down the medicine basket and rushed back with his hoe. Although the road was not smooth, it was almost peaceful to Cao Ziyang. Having received so much training, it wouldn’t take long for him to sprint 100 meters and 200 meters. However, when he rushed back, he discovered that Tian Wen and Fang Nan were not at their original places. Cao Ziyang could only continue to rush towards the direction of the tangerine fruit tree.
As soon as Cao Ziyang reached the tree, he heard a series of screams. Looking from afar, there was one tree that was shaking so much that people could not do it. According to Cao Ziyang’s experience, it was caused by large animals hitting the tree trunk.
Holding his breath, Cao Ziyang rushed over and soon approached the tree trunk. He finally saw what was going on, it was really a large animal colliding with a tree trunk. It was a pitch black type of Swine, about a hundred kilograms in size, crazily smashing against the tree trunk.
On the tree, Tian Wen and Fang Nan hugged onto a tree trunk and screamed loudly. Furthermore, they did not climb too high, they were only around two meters away from the black Swine! Cao Ziyang was a little confused, because it seemed unlikely for this to happen. Normally, Swine would run when they saw someone, and there was a small chance that they would attack someone, unless they were crazy or Tian Wen and Fang Nan had gotten close to the pig’s nest and offended its family.
Cao Ziyang could not understand. Of course, now was not the time to think about this, Cao Ziyang stopped, picked up a fist-sized rock from the ground and threw it right at the Swine’s back. The Swine roared, and crashed into the tree trunk again, then turned around and saw Cao Ziyang behind it. In that second, Cao Ziyang was a little scared, because the look in the Swine’s eyes was too terrifying. What was even more terrifying was that after hesitating for a second, the huge Swine started charging towards Cao Ziyang.
Oh my god, can you not be so silly? Just run away!
Of course, the Swine’s actions allowed Cao Ziyang to be certain, that Tian Wen and Fang Nan had invaded its territory, or else the Swine would not have acted this way.
Seeing how fast the Swine was, Cao Ziyang wondered if it was better to run or climb a tree. After hesitating for a second, he finally decided to run. He had to at least lure the Swine far away from here and let Tian Wen and Fang Nan be safe first!
As they ran, Cao Ziyang said, “Don’t go down the tree. Take care of Fang Nan. Take a deep breath …”
There was no response, and neither Tian Wen nor Fang Nan could react!
With the fastest speed he could muster, Cao Ziyang did not run in a straight line but around a corner. Soon, Cao Ziyang did not even know where he had gone, and his head was spinning. Even worse was that Cao Ziyang suddenly felt that he could not climb a tree. Climbing a tree was tantamount to letting himself be slaughtered. This was the opposite. They were both human and pigs. How could they be human? This was not an exaggeration. If this huge Swine were to stand up and wait below crazily, Cao Ziyang would not be able to jump down from the tree to attack it. It would be seeking death, so he could not climb the tree.
What should he do?
Heavens, he only had a small hoe in his hands. Using this hoe to fight against a pig, Cao Ziyang was not crazy, moreover, this was a Swine, its flesh was thicker than the domestic pig.
It’s over, it’s all over. What do we do?
Cao Ziyang was trying to think of a solution as he ran. He dared not look back because he knew it would be a waste of time. Even if it was just two seconds, the distance would be shorter.
As they ran, Cao Ziyang did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had even turned dizzy, and actually ran back to the area where they had saved Tian Wen and Tian Wen. Tian Wen and Fang Nan watched from a tree and screamed loudly, “We’re here, we’re here!
It was a funny scene. Cao Ziyang hoped to be faster, but the problem was that he couldn’t be faster, otherwise his body’s flexibility would be better. Otherwise, if he kept changing his speed like this, he would have already fallen down and been torn apart by the Swine.
After running for a while, he circled around a large tree. Cao Ziyang suddenly had an idea and said to Tian Wen: “Tian Wen, I have a lipstick in my bag. Throw it under a tree, I’ll go back and pick it up.”
Tian Wen replied, she immediately took down his bag from her back and flipped through it, then shouted to Cao Ziyang: “I found it, but is it useful? You use lipstick against pigs? ”
“Throw it down, don’t touch it.”
Tian Wen threw the lipstick under the tree, and Cao Ziyang immediately turned and ran, picking up the lipstick and continued to run, after running for around fifty metres, he unscrewed the lipstick and left it in his hands for two seconds. Then he turned and threw it right at the foot of the Swine.
