Chapter 283: Hunting Whispers (Part 2)
Any old hunter walking in the mountains and forests knows the old saying that "it is easy to get off the net and difficult to get on the stance."
If you are going to make a detailed discussion, you will get the stakes that are fixed to the net, first the stakes, the nails, and the waist buckles. The stakes must be carried out to carry the trees that are firmly grown in the mountains as stakes. The trees that have been chosen as stakes must also pay attention to the thickness of the sea bowl, soft and hard. The trees are too thin and soft, and cannot tie the net, so that the wild creatures captured by the net can struggle back and forth for a few times. If they are not good, they can pull the net away. If they are too hard, they cannot borrow strength. If they run into a big beast with strong body, they may even be able to pull the trees that are used as stakes.
To fix the land, you have to choose the right land. The soil quality is preferably seven-part soil and three-part stone. Otherwise, you can also make do with the ground nails when you find a suitable stone crack. If you really can't even find a rock crack, the hunter's family has to dig a mud pit as deep as an arm and the size of a pot lid, and then tie the rope head on the net to a cross-shaped wooden frame to bury it deep, so that you can keep the net and not let the wild creatures pull it away.
When it comes to waist buckles, they didn't dare to touch the mind of using waist buckles for twenty years without having experienced the knowledge in the mountains and forests. The rope head on the net bag was divided into seven strands, and tied them to some shrubs that seemed to be weak and weak. Even if the wild creature was caught by the net, it was only possible to divide the seven strands with this force. Even if the wild creature struggled for a day and night, in the end, they could only say that the waist buckle, which could disperse its strength, was exhausted and obedient!
Looking around the hillside covered with bluestone slabs and stone slaughter, Uncle Ye twisted the beard on his chin and pondered for a moment, raised his hand and pointed at the bluestone slabs that were almost connected to each other: "I guess I have to use the ground nails on it today, so I can poke the ground nails on that land!"
Without hesitation, Xiang Youbao reached out and took out a few arm-thick and nailed old boxwoods about two feet long from the basket he carried all the way. He picked up a small wooden hammer and walked to the bluestone slabs almost stepping on the footprints left by Jiuhouer when he was sprinkling bean noodles. He followed the cracks of the stones left between the bluestone slabs and steadily smashed the nails made of the old boxwoods into the cracks, and only exposed a wooden stubble of finger length on the ground.
And behind Xiang Youbao, Han Liangpin, who had already sorted out a few rope nets, rarely showed off his strength. He just handed the rope nets that were sorted out to Uncle Ye who was standing beside him, coughed slightly and said to Uncle Ye: "Uncle Ye, I can't help with any trouble. I really have to worry about it..."
Looking at Han Liangpin's sallow face with a slightly red glow, Uncle Ye smiled at Han Liangpin as if he was unintentionally: "Donkey turns to mills, ox plows the fields. Horses pull carts to walk around the world, tigers roar in the mountains and forests show off their might! The old sayings say it is a natural craft, a craft developed, and you can finish it by raising your hand. What's more than labor-oriented? Liangpin, you haven't stopped at this early morning, can you still hold on?"
Taking a deep breath, Han Liangpin responded stubbornly: "Uncle Ye, I still... cough cough... can it happen!"
Seeing Han Liangpinqiang holding his breath and holding back his cough, Old Uncle Ye sighed slightly: "Liangpin, I'm talking too much here - just look at your gait, anyone can tell that you are a trainer. Even if you have a fatal injury on your body, you haven't fallen a step down the road this morning. Although there are many things to do in this world, you are always practicing your breath internally, and practicing muscles and bones externally, relying on a mouthful of dantian and blood in the heart, so that you can withstand the pain of practicing in summer and practicing in winter! It's a good thing for this person to have a heart, but if his heart is too strong..... Liangpin, it's easy to break even after being tough, you should have heard of this?"
Nodding in a depressed manner, Han Liangpin bowed slightly to Uncle Ye who reached out to take the rope nets: "Uncle Ye, you are right! But I... I'm just living with my master and I... I don't know what to say..."
He reached out and patted the rope net that he had just taken. Uncle Ye smiled and shook his head: "The men all have the temperament of not bowing their heads in front of others, but they are also holding them in front of their own family. Why bother? I heard from the girl Yinghe that you ran back to Sijiu City from the door of the leopard. Without even taking a breath, you fought hard with others. This was the deathly secret injury! You can sacrifice your life for your friends. Then how big is it to show your soft temper in front of your friends?"
Without waiting for Han Liangpin to answer, Uncle Ye turned around with a smile, hugged the tidy rope nets and walked towards the nailed ground nails. He put down the rope nets on the slopes several meters away from the ground nails.
Just like a fisherman casting a net on a boat, Uncle Ye bent down and picked up a pair of rope nets and held them in his hand. He slowly turned his waist and took a deep breath. At the moment when he was about to suck his head, his waist, which had just turned slowly, stretched back and forth, and his arms were also raising and shaking in this blink of an eye, and the entire rope net suddenly rose high.
Before the rope net could be thrown out, Uncle Ye's arms raised suddenly hung and raised, making the rope net floating in the air rise and fall like waves. As the rope net was about to land, Uncle Ye suddenly stepped on the underfoot under his feet, and gently pulled the rope net that was about to fall to the ground with the force of his body moving, and almost shook the rope net to the ground.
Seeing the tender grass buds that stretched out from the mesh of the rope net just rightly covered a few nets, Uncle Ye nodded with satisfaction, picked up the remaining few rope nets, and spread other rope nets one by one around the place where the Xiangyou Leopard nailed, then picked up the rope heads that slipped out of the rope net and walked to Xiangyou Leopard, and quickly tied the rope heads to the ground nail made of boxwood.
Half-squatted, he reached out to pull the newly tied buckle several times. Seeing the ground nail made of boxwood tremble and trembling back and forth, but it didn't look like it slipped out of the cracks of the rocks, Uncle Ye nodded with satisfaction, and found a ball of black rope-like things from his arms and a few fingers that were only the length of a finger, with some transparent spikes. He carefully found a suitable place between the several spikes and ropes, and slowly woven into a gadget like a grasshopper cage.
Standing next to Uncle Ye without saying a word, Xiang Youbao looked at Uncle Ye who seemed to have slowed down a little bit, and his hands were also bounced slightly, as if imitating Uncle Ye's actions. When Uncle Ye finally sprinkled the black bean noodles left by Jiuhouer on the crapes cage-like thing. Xiang Youbao then spoke in a low voice: "Uncle Ye, the thing you have just put on is probably the usual urge to buckle on these ropes?"
After sprinkling the last bit of black bean noodles on the cucumber-like thing, Uncle Ye slowly stood up and nodded slightly to the Xiang Youbao standing beside him: "The gorals are timid, even when they eat, they will eat a few bites, and when they look up. As long as the door bows buried under the rope net jump, the gorals that are surrounded by food will have to explode in all directions. At that time, the rope nets we set are rolled up from all sides, so you won't be afraid of not being able to hold these things!"
Looking up, Jiuhouer had already brought some willow wood bow arms that were half a person tall and three fingers thick. Xiang Youbao walked over to Jiuhouer with Uncle Old Ye, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Old Ye, I look at you, these black ropes are not like ordinary iron wires. Instead... they are a bit like the snake skin of a copper wire snake (Note 2)? And those with a little translucent spikes, can they be the throat thorns on the body of the Emperor Fish (Note 1)?"
Unexpectedly, Uncle Ye took the willow arch arm that Jiuhouer brought, and then tied the thin rope wrapped in copper wire snake skin to one end of the bow arm, and responded casually: "It is not unusual to recognize that these ropes are made of copper wire snake skin twisted. But the throat of this emperor fish... Have you ever seen the emperor fish outside the pass?"
After grabbing a willow arch arm, Xiang Youbao forced the willow arch arm to bend it under the rope net. He responded to Uncle Ye: "When I followed the master to walk outside the pass, I saw the Oroqen people opening the river fish, and I saw the throat thorns they took off when they picked up the emperor fish. Listen to the old man Oroqen said that the throat thorns of this emperor fish are treasures, and they are carefully collected by the respected old people among the Oroqen people. It is rare for outsiders to see the last time! But I looked at your hand... The throat thorns of the more than ten emperor fish are really amazing!"
A look of gloomy suddenly flashed across his face. Uncle Ye coughed a few times as if he was a little concealed, but did not respond to Xiang Youbao's words with obvious doubts. He just pressed a willow arch arm under the rope net: "You have to tighten your hands. After half a stick of incense, the sun should come out. After waiting for the dew, the gorals should follow the way we came while eating grass. If we bumped into us, I'm afraid that those gorals would not touch this place within ten days and half a month!"
Without blinking, he stared at the technique of Lao Ye and Xiang Youbao's installation of willow arch arms. Jiuhouer continued at this time: "Uncle Lao Ye, we are not watching here? What if the gorals break free from the rope net? Let's talk about the situation in the early morning. We will rush back at this time and wander back tonight... There is no sky at both ends. Isn't this a bit of a delay?"
He raised his eyelids and looked at Jiuhouer with a puzzled look. Uncle Ye raised his hand and pointed to the basket that Jiuhouer carried and cursed and said, "I just said that when I was hunting, my feet were not empty and my hands were not idle. I forgot to clean it in this blink of an eye? The items you carried in your basket have not yet made a fortune today!"
Turning his head and looking at the half-empty basket, Jiuhouer sucked her teeth in wonder: "There is nothing left in this basket..." (To be continued.

ps: Note 1: The copper wire snake is also known as Tianshi. Both names are nicknames for iron nematodes. Large iron nematodes can grow to 300 to 1,000 mm, and can survive in seawater or fresh water, and ordinary sharp blades are difficult to cut off. In the old days, science was not very developed, and large iron nematodes were often mistakenly compared with iron nematodes, and were tanned by large iron nematodes and used as ropes, especially among the sects of the Jianghu sects.
Note 2: The emperor fish is the sturgeon, which is native to the Heilongjiang River Basin. According to legend, it was sent to the Forbidden City as a tribute during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. During the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty, the great governor of Fuyuan, Na Bin, went to Beijing to pay tribute to the fish. Empress Dowager Cixi saw that the fish was full of delicious and nameless, and was named "Imperial Fish". The sturgeon was named after it!
