Chapter 652 Murphy's Law
Han Li saw that everyone agreed and asked them to act on their own. No one knew whether there were any black bears nearby. In fact, Han Li didn't care even if there were. These defensive measures were prepared for them.
Han Li first took out a pen and paper from his satchel and wrote a letter, which described the situation his team was facing. He rolled up the paper with tree bark, put it in the small bag prepared for the dogs, tied it tightly, and tied it to the head dog Yamamoto, and finally gave instructions.
"Give this letter to Village Chief Zhao or Captain Liang. When they have gathered people, you can lead them here."
The head dog whined twice and ran towards Shanghe Village. Han Li started to work at this time. He first took back the unused sets around and destroyed the traps with sharp tree roots at the bottom.
Next, Han Li planned to tie up the front and back hooves of the wild boar with the removed trap, but before that, he had to tie an adjustable knot similar to a hitch knot with a rope, and use this knot to tie up the wild boar's mouth, so as to prevent himself from being bitten by the wild boar when tying the hooves.
This kind of thing requires courage, carefulness, and quick hands and feet. Those wild boars trapped in the traps are basically fine as long as their mouths are tied up. It is even simpler to tie up the pig's hooves. If you usually tie up domestic pigs, you need to be careful not to hurt the pig's hooves. At this time, you usually use a rope to make a pig's hooves lock, and the tying time cannot be too long.
But these wild boars don't have this treatment, because they will die after the villagers come, so Han Li does it the easiest way. Now he just needs to tie them tightly to prevent them from running away.
Han Li used a rope to lock the wild boar's mouth and pulled it to the ground with force. He took two quick steps and stepped on the wild boar's neck with one foot. He used his hands and arms to pull the two crossed hooves together and put on the removed trap. The wild boar struggled harder and harder, which was one of the reasons why Han Li took the traps back now.
As for the wild boars that fell into the trap, it was a bit troublesome, but it was not too difficult for Han Li. If the rope knot could not be put on the wild boar's mouth at one time, he would throw it a few more times. Anyway, they could not escape in the kang.
When Han Li was done, the screams of the wild boars at the scene turned into muffled hums, and everyone's ears felt much more comfortable.
Qi Zhaodi had already lit a fire around at this time, and was helping Zhang Xiangjun and others to move things down from the hillside. The other three dogs were always following them.
Han Li looked around and saw that there was nothing to worry about, so he took the axe and went around to pick small trees.
However, Han Li's actions were all to deceive people. He used the golden finger after he entered the woods.
When he felt that it was about time, Han Li came back with a large bundle of sharpened branches and trunks on his back. The trap was surrounded by stones, and a pile of firewood was piled up in a disorderly manner with wood and branches. There was also a burning fire pit next to these firewood piles. Han Li looked around and said with satisfaction.
"Well done, these are all Yaozu's ideas, right?"
"Brother Han, I heard this from Uncle Zhao in the village. They said that if you encounter a bear warehouse in winter, the best way out before digging the warehouse is to place the firewood like this. It looks messy, and it is best for people to walk here to avoid the attack of the blind bear. At the critical moment, you can also light these to increase everyone's chance of survival."
Han Li said several times in a row that if the people he brought were similar to Zhang Yaozu, he would save a lot of energy and effort if he had to form a team to go into the mountains in the future.
Next, Han Li, Zhang Xiangjun, Zhang Yaozu and others took these sharpened tree trunks and checked for gaps and added some defense lines around them. Qi Zhaodi fetched water from the stream nearby to boil water and make breakfast for everyone.
After dinner, everyone agreed that there was nothing to do now, and they just needed to keep an eye on it. Han Li had to go to sleep for a while, and Qi Zhaodi prepared a sleeping place for him with soft pine and cypress branches and hay. This place was far away from wild boars and basically would not be fumigated by their stench.
Han Li estimated that the villagers would receive the letter and rush here at the earliest by noon, so he simply gave a few instructions and went to lie down to sleep.
At this moment, Han Li's head dog Yamamoto ran directly to the village committee of Shanghe Village. Coincidentally, many people were here to clean up the wild boars hunted last night. The hair removal and viscera removal had been completed overnight. Now they just had to rinse the viscera and cut the pork.
After everything was sorted out, Village Chief Zhao or Captain Liang led the team to sell it in the county town. Only when they came out to sell the meat under the banner of Shanghe Village would it be considered a public matter. If others dared to come out to sell it, they would definitely be accused of speculation and profiteering.
Whenever Han Li was in Shanghe Village, he would take these dogs out for a walk almost every day, so almost everyone in the village knew his dog.
Everyone was very surprised when they saw Han Li's dog running back alone, and the first thought in their minds was that Han Li had encountered an accident.
But before everyone had time to speak, they saw the dog running to Village Chief Zhao and lying down, and kept using its claws to fiddle with the small bag on its body and making a whining sound. It was estimated that Han Li asked the dog to come back to deliver a letter, but it was not known whether the situation was good or bad.
Village Chief Zhao also opened the bag on the dog with a nervous look, took out a piece of letter paper from it, and smiled after reading the content on it.
"Hahaha, Han Li and his team actually trapped eight wild boars, the weight is estimated to be at least 800 to 900 kilograms, but their location is far from the village, there are few people and many prey, if they rely on only four people to transport it back, the meat may have a bad smell and can't be sold at a high price, so they haven't killed these wild boars yet, waiting for the villagers to come over before killing them, when there are more people and the speed of transporting back is fast, there is no need to worry about the smell of meat.
Zi Qiang, hurry up and select a few people, bring guns, ropes, shoulder poles, and snakeskin bags to the mountain to pick up Han Li and his team, and be quick, because there may be blind bears around, if this beast smells the smell and finds it, Han Li and his team will be in trouble."
Village Chief Zhao's words made everyone present start to discuss. Although they didn't know where Han Li set the trap, if they calculated according to the weight written on the letter, Han Li and his team of four would directly become the first in this hunt.
After listening to the situation, Captain Liang directly called a few strong young men to pick up their weapons and follow the dogs into the mountain.
Sometimes Murphy's Law that the more you fear something, the more it will come is still disgusting. Now, whether it is the people who are rushing here, or Zhang Xiangjun, Zhang Yaozu, Qi Zhaodi and others, they don't want to encounter a blind bear.
But at about ten o'clock in the afternoon, the three dogs heard the noise and stood up from the ground and barked loudly at the distance.
Their barking not only made Zhang Xiangjun and others nervous, but also woke up Han Li who was sleeping next to them. Before he opened his eyes, his hand touched the five or six half, and then he turned sideways and half squatted on the ground, looking in the direction of the dog's barking.
Although it was bright now, the grass and trees were lush in the distance, and there was no abnormality in sight. Han Li asked the three people next to him while communicating with the crow.
"Did you see anything?"
"Brother Han woke you up."
"Brother Han, we didn't see anything right now. Could the dogs have heard it wrong?"
"That's impossible. My dogs never bark if there's no danger. Everyone should be careful and observe carefully. If you find anything wrong, tell us immediately."
Han Li's words made them nervous again, and they looked ahead with their eyes wide open.
After a while, two crows fluttered their wings and landed on the tree next to them. Han Li also knew why the dogs were barking.
It turned out that there was a blind bear lying in the bushes in front, and it had been observing the direction where Han Li and the others were.
This guy should have been attracted by the grunt of the wild boar, but the barking of several dogs here, as well as the figures of Zhang Xiangjun and others, made the blind bear hesitate.
Han Li was also very depressed when he heard the news, because he didn't want to show too much skill in front of others, such as using "strength" to directly attack the bones and internal organs of the blind bear, which is something that ordinary people can't understand.
But according to the news brought back by the crow, this blind bear was very fat and greasy because of the season. It would be difficult for Han Li to kill it with the long and short spear made of iron birch in his hand.
If he used the five or six half spear in his hand, the blind bear would not die for a while unless it hit the vital point directly. If it counterattacked before dying, Han Li would not be afraid, but he was afraid that it would affect the three people around him.
Now Han Li regretted not showing the double-barreled shotgun at the beginning, otherwise he could send the blind bear away with at most two shots.
But now Han Li had no choice at all, he could only find a way to kill this blind bear.
Because human patience can never compare with wild animals. It can lie there for a few days without moving, but people can't.
And no one knows whether this blind bear will give up these wild boars and leave by itself. If it doesn't leave, it may attack him at any time, and people's energy is simply not enough to stay alert for a long time.
But at this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the swaying of branches and weeds allowed Han Li to vaguely see a corner of the dark figure lying motionless on the ground in front of him.
Han Li immediately had an idea in his mind. He secretly told the crow a few words, then picked up the five-six-and-a-half, pulled the bolt, and aimed at the position he had just seen.
The click of the bolt made Zhang Xiangjun and others look over, and Han Li spoke without waiting for them to ask.
"What I just saw seems to be a blind bear. You guys pick up your weapons first. If it rushes over, light these firewood piles, avoid it and start to circle. Don't try to rush up."
"Brother Han (Brother Han), what about you?"
"If the blind bear dares to show its head, I will just shoot it a few times. Even if I can't kill it, it will pounce on me. My legs and feet are much more agile than yours, so you three just take care of yourselves. Don't hesitate when I tell you to run."
Han Li was just instructing the three of them. The two crows had already been divided over the blind bear. They circled twice above it, and after cawing a few times to remind Han Li, they swooped down like eagles that found their prey.
