Chapter 9 Unmatched Pig Teammates
"Dig a hole in this place, dig it as I painted it." In the black forest, Wang Wei found a relatively empty place, and drew a circle on the ground.
Then, he broke a branch of black wood and told them to dig as deep as this branch.
If it is on Earth and just looking at the circle Wang Wei draws, everyone will know that he is going to make a trap.
But now, Wang Wei has almost made it clear, and Cuihua and the others still haven't understood what Wang Wei is going to do.
"Dig a hole? Why do we need to dig a hole? Why do we listen to you?" Cuihua asked in confusion.
On her face, real curiosity emerged.
The small tribe with dozens of people, their shallow knowledge makes them lack scheming.
I speak straightforwardly and will not think about whether my words will offend people.
Of course, even if they know that what they say is not nice, they won't care.
Because in their opinion, the clan is all their relatives and there is nothing to say.
Wang Wei was not annoyed and explained carefully about her questions: "Dig a pit here as a trap. I will trick the grass pigs into it later. When they fall into the pit, we will not have to worry about them running away when we catch them!"
"What is a trap? Why do they jump down when they see the pit?" Cuihua continued to ask.
Wang Wei covered his forehead with his hands, feeling speechless.
At this time, only the old woman vaguely figured out Wang Wei’s idea and said, “Let’s dig it out. Wang Wei said this, there must be his solution!”
The old woman's words are more useful than Wang Wei's explanation ten times.
The two tribe members stopped asking more questions and started digging the soil on the spot with the stone axe he brought.
The stone axes used by the tribe are all the hardest and most solid stones selected from the river beach and then polished day after day.
The round stone was polished into a thick flat stone axe, which took not a day or two.
Many people think that the stone axe is very fragile and will break if it is cut a few times.
In fact, not so, most of the stones in nature are indeed very brittle, but some are tougher than steel.
Although it is still difficult to collide with hard objects, at least it is still no problem to occasionally cut bones that are not too thick.
It is no problem to use it to dig the ground.
After all, these stone axes are the strongest self-defense hunting tools for the tribe.
If even bones cannot be broken, it would be better to use the animal's scapula to make bone axes.
Two tribe members stayed here to dig the ground, while Wang Wei took the old woman to cut down some branches.
The flat stone axe was one foot long and was heavy in his hand. With a light wave, the black wood branches as thick as fingers were cut off.
The old woman's movements were cleaner and more neat than Wang Wei. The stone axe in her hand was neither too fast nor too slow. Every time the axe fell, a suitable branch would be cut down.
Wang Wei sighed inwardly and concentrated on cutting down the trees.
When cutting down the black wood, Wang Wei keenly discovered that some of the leaves of these black wood were covered with small black dots.
He picked up a leaf full of black dots and asked curiously: "Mother, what are these black dots?"
The old woman glanced at it and said, "Those are eggs of big white worms. When the weather gets hotter in the future, they will hatch and turn into small worms. When the moon turns twice, it will grow to be able to eat. When the time comes to the black forest, you will be able to catch many big white worms. Unfortunately, many big birds come to the forest to catch insects every year. Otherwise, when we are on hot days, we don't have to worry about having no food to eat."
When Wang Wei heard this, a thought suddenly emerged.
This big white worm is easy to feed.
As long as you are not exposed to light for a long time and there are leaves of black wood, you will basically not die.
The old woman's big white worms in the bamboo tube have been raised for half a year.
Perhaps because the weather is too cold, these big white worms did not form cocoons.
The taste of the big white worm is so delicious that it will never be forgotten after tasting it. If it can be cultivated in large quantities, wouldn’t it be able to be eaten at any time in the future?
And after listening to the old woman, these big white worms can grow up in only two months. The short growth cycle, simple breeding conditions, delicious taste and cheap breeding costs aren’t this the breeding substance that humans dream of?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Mom, if you see leaves covered with big white worm eggs again, you can pick them for me."
"What do you want to do this? The insect eggs are too small and not enough to eat. It's better to let them grow up by themselves." The old woman said curiously.
Judging from the fact that the tribe members could not even understand the trap, they might be even more unable to understand what breeding is.
So Wang Wei didn't explain much, but just repeatedly told him that he would be useful to ask for these insect eggs.
Anyway, it was a good thing, so the old woman agreed.
Soon, the two cut down a lot of wooden sticks, and Wang Wei also successfully collected several bamboo tubes of leaves covered with large white worm eggs.
At this time, Cuihua and the others had just dug half of the pit.
The two of them were sweating profusely, dirty and tired.
Although there is no need to worry too much about the strength of the stone axe, in terms of shape, the stone axe is not suitable for digging the ground.
It is also because the tribesmen have worked too much in such a harsh environment and have developed a strong body.
If it were Earthlings, they would probably not be able to dig for a long time and their palms would be worn out.
Without further ado, the old woman jumped into the pit and dug up together.
In the tribe, although the old woman is the most prestigious person, she never takes a lazy job.
It is precisely because of this reason that the tribe members not only respected her and loved her, but also obeyed her.
As for Wang Wei, he was next to the pit and dealt with the branches he had just cut down.
Not far away, the wild boars kept humming.
I tried to rush up several times and stole the piglets tied into a string with straw ropes.
But every time I rushed up, I would be scared away by Cuihua and the others with stone axes.
Although Cuihua and the others are women, they are amazingly strong.
Putting it on the earth is the kind of girl who can unscrew your head and turn it three times.
The three of them, together with Wang Wei who joined later, dug out a big pit that was almost one person deep in just over four hours.
If we count the soil accumulated on the edge of the pit, then this big pit is more than one person deep.
If the soil on Earth is not too hard, many people can do this.
But you should know that Cuihua and the others' dredging tools are stone axes that are inconvenient to dig, and everyone has not had enough food for several days in a row.
Taking these situations into consideration, Wang Wei felt that Cuihua and the others' physical strength was at least two or three times that of modern earthlings.
After digging the pit, Cuihua and the others couldn't help. They sat aside and watched Wang Wei busy inside and outside the pit.
The upper part of the pit is quite dry, but the soil is very wet if it is less than one meter. When it is dug to a depth of one person, water has begun to seep.
Working in such a mud pit, Wang Wei and the other four had long become mud people.
The head and face were covered with mud.
Soon, the cover of this simple trap was prepared by Wang Wei.
I tried to step on it. Although it was shaky, it could withstand the weight of one or two people.
Such an obvious trap was dug in front of the wild boars.
If you put it on the earth, you may not even be able to catch a mouse.
After all, the beasts on Earth have been fighting against humans for thousands of years and have long been familiar with humans' various routines of capturing them.
How to avoid traps, lassoes, poisoning and other things has long been integrated into their genes.
But here, the tribe members didn't even know what a trap was, and they couldn't even understand the meaning of the word. Wang Wei naturally had reason to believe that with the IQ of those grass pigs, they could not understand these traps that they had never seen or heard.
In addition, for the past few hours, the timid wild boars never left and stayed here. You can imagine the importance of piglets to them.
Based on these factors, Wang Wei is at least 80% sure that this simple trap is feasible.
After finishing the trap, Wang Wei connected several straw ropes together and tied them to the pillars used for support, and then stepped back step by step to pull the straw ropes more than ten meters away.
"Wang Wei, how can we let those grass pigs run to the 'cash'?" Cuihua asked with a confused look on her face.
"Next, it's up to these little pigs!" Wang Wei smiled and picked up the string of straw ropes tied with the little pig's legs.
The piglet was mentioned in the air and felt discomfort, and opened her mouth and howled one by one.
The wild boars around him became even more impatient when they heard the sound and approached a few more steps, but they were soon scared away by Cuihua.
When facing one person, they dare to come up, but when facing four people, they dare not act rashly even if they give them a few more courage.
Wang Wei hung the grass pig on a branch directly above the trap, and then took Cuihua and the others back.
"As long as those wild boars run into the trap, as soon as we pull the rope here, the supporting pillars will fall, and those wild boars will fall into the trap." Wang Wei explained with a smile.
When Cuihua and the others heard this, they showed a sudden look of enlightenment.
A few people stood a little over ten meters away, looking at the pigs without any cover.
The pigs hanging on the trees screamed. At the beginning, the pigs were relatively cautious.
But when the first grass pig ran into the trap and was so anxious that it was spinning under the pig but didn't make any accidents, the other grass pigs couldn't help but rush over.
"Don't worry, wait until they all run into the trap, let's..." Wang Wei said with a look of the grass pigs that were indeed fooled.
However, before he finished speaking, he heard a "boom" sound, and the trap collapsed, and more than a dozen grass pigs fell down without any time to react.
Looking at the straight straw rope that collapsed, Wang Wei turned around and looked at Cuihua, who was excited about pulling the straw rope, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
"No matter how we are?" Cuihua asked happily when she saw that the wild boar had indeed fallen into the trap.
"Oh, go block the holes and don't let them escape!" Wang Wei sighed helplessly.
If it makes people feel lucky to meet a group of pig opponents, then it makes people feel extremely desperate when they meet a pig teammate.
And Wang Wei’s current mood is extremely desperate.
