Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 57 Chain Set Trap

Verricolo thinks he's going crazy, and he never thought he'd catch wild chickens and rabbits like this. Yesterday afternoon he and Claude made more than a hundred condoms, then divided into fourteen groups, more than a dozen condoms in each group, and placed these connecting sets under the bushes and in the grass nest respectively. Finally, he tied these condoms to the roots of the groves with a sturdy vine, and Claude threw some grass seeds on those condoms...

It was a trick, that's what Velikoro thought. But watching Claude weave the condom so seriously, he didn't have to help either, and it took them almost two hours to fix the so-called condom trap. Verricolo was asleep at night wondering if Claude would be disappointed if he found his condom traps useless tomorrow, and how he could comfort himself?

So Verricolo didn't say a word about the traps after school today, anyway, just sneak in with Claude and the two of them this afternoon. If you don't have anything of your own, help Claude stay with the rabbit like he did yesterday. Be patient and shoot a rabbit or a wild chicken or something. Just don't let Claude go back empty-handed.

But Bok Al was curious to ask Claude about yesterday's harvest there. Claude said he had shot only one rabbit, but he had laid many traps there, and went to school this afternoon to see if there was any harvest...

This aroused the curiosity of Bok Al and Eriksson, and the future great captain ignored even his little fishing boat, which was about to be finished on the dock, and had to go see it with him, because Claude had promised that the traps he had laid would be effective, guaranteed a harvest, and ignored Verikero's mournful look at him.

But it turns out that Villicro was wrong, and these traps under Claudette were not unworkable, they were too good. Almost every set of condom traps has a harvest. Five rabbits, four wild chickens are wrapped in condoms for almost a day and a night. The struggle is dying. You can only watch yourself fall into the hands of these two-legged beasts...

Fourteen sets of condoms, apart from the two sets of intact and undamaged, were all damaged. Obviously, the three sets of traps also covered the prey, but under the fate of the prey, the condom was torn so that the prey escaped its birth. The remaining nine sets of traps lived up to Claude's expectations and provided him with nine preys.

Vericulo looked at the torch gun in his hand and muttered: “We didn't have to go to get any torch guns. We came here empty-handed every day to put some condoms in, and the next day we came here empty-handed to get the prey...”

Bok Al and Eriksson, on the other hand, knelt down to help Claude, untie the rabbits and the wild chickens from their condoms, and tie the feet of the prey with the rope that Claude brought. All the prey was powerless to struggle, and the impotence was left to these two-legged beasts to torment.

“Claude, how did you get this trap?” Erickson asks curiously.

“Oh...” Claude laughed. “That's the good thing about reading more. I've seen a continental journey before where people catch seabirds on an island in the northern part of the continent, often flattening a large net of fish on the sand and sprinkling them with little fish shrimp to attract them down for food. Because it was sandy, the seabirds fell so carelessly that some of the seabirds' claws went through the mesh of the fish net. As soon as the seabirds fell, they rushed over, and as a result some of the seabirds' claws were entwined by the net, they were caught.

This was passed on to the continent by the businessmen, and some smart hunters hunted the migratory birds in the same way. They lay the nets on the grass or on the mud, put on the nets what the migratory birds love to eat, wait for the birds to come down to eat, and one or two of the migratory birds' claws were always caught in the net and fell into the hunter's hands.

However, this net trap is somewhat inadequate for the hunter. First, it is expensive, and a net in the grass is damaged quickly by the struggle of the prey, which is somewhat unpaid for the hunter. Second, migratory birds have learned the lesson because their fellow catchers have been caught a lot, and it seems that there are fish nets on the ground and such things don't dare come down again. Third, accidents can easily occur in mountain grass bushes, and fish nets are often destroyed by large wild animals.

And then a smart hunter tried to mimic the mesh of a fish net and weave it into a series of condoms to catch these little animals like wild chicken rabbits, and it turned out to be a huge harvest. This story was documented in the journey, and it also describes the practice of this serial set trap, so yesterday I thought about experimenting. I didn't expect the book to be true. This set trap is really effective against wild chickens and rabbits... ”

Brother, yesterday afternoon you didn't say it was a test. Instead, a pair of breasts looked like bamboo. That's why I made so many condoms for you... Vericulo felt like egg pain. Um, these two words are what Claude usually says, but Vericulo felt that the word egg pain was very fitting at this time.

“By the way, Claude, is that a condom trap today?” Villicro asked.

“Hmm...” Claude sighed for two seconds, looking at the five rabbits and four wild chickens tied to a pair of legs and claws on the ground, and said, "Anyway, it's too early to set up some more. But it can't be here anymore. Those two good sets of condoms don't move. Just throw them here. We'll walk inside again. At least we'll have to go over the dirt hill in front and get as far away from here as possible...”

So the four of them walked in for another half day, looking at the slopes and hills ahead, Claude finally nodded: “That's it, there's more bushes and grass nests here, and there's bound to be more tomorrow than there is today. ”

You start looking for thin, tough vines to weave the condoms.

“Why don't you use those ropes you brought? It's stronger than these vines..." Eriksson is a little confused.

“If you use the rope I bring, rabbits and wild chickens will consciously avoid these things.” Claude replied, "Don't take rabbits and wild chickens as dumb as you think they are, although they are really benzene, but there's still a brain for that. Rope-built condoms are thrown in the grass or on the ground, and the surrounding environment is out of sight, and rabbits and wild chickens can discern that this is an exotic thing and are alert rather than close. ”

Claude picks up a vine-made condom: "And this vine-made condom, which is what it is, we make it into a living condom, a dozen pieces on the ground, and rabbits and wild chickens are not alert at all, and they think that these are falling out of the bush or growing on the ground without a scratch. So as long as they have one foot or claw in these condoms, and then they go forward, the condom tightens, and then they go forward in a panic, and you all see it, and you get caught lying there exhausted. ”

With so many people, the last four people put together more than 40 sets of serial traps, mostly under the bush. Claude's group checked it and sprayed it with some gathered grass seeds and dirt. Grass seeds are seductive foods, and dirt is used to cover people's scents.

“All right, let's go back and come back tomorrow afternoon and see how much we've got.” Claude, holding his back, said he was tired of sitting down and squatting to check so many traps: “Why don't you take it yourselves, one rabbit and one wild chicken? ”

Claude pointed at the rabbits and the wild chickens on the ground and said.

Bok Al shook his head: "Claude, this is your prey from yesterday and Verricolo, and you two should split it it together, and if there's a harvest tomorrow, we'll split it it again tomorrow, no later. ”

Claude stared: “What nonsense. We're friends. We'll split up today. We'll talk tomorrow. Besides, I can't take all that back, Velik. What do you think? ”

Vericulo's buzzing answer: “It's up to you. Anyway, there's a row of smoked roasts hanging under my eaves. I'm tired of eating them. I don't care how much. ”

Bok Al grins: "No, Claude, don't you know that Piedad from the old tavern is buying wild chickens at a high price? He wants to be alive. You four are just what he wants. ”

“What's his price?” Claude asked.

“One riazo, or two more sonars, depends largely on the situation. ”

“He wants a pheasant? Does he want the rabbit? ”

“I suppose so...” Bok Al wasn't sure either: “Last time I saw him standing at the back door of the tavern and a mountaineer, the wild chickens and rabbits were caught by the mountaineer's hound dog. The wild chicken was alive and he gave the mountaineer a riazo, the rabbit died and he didn't want it, and the mountaineers said it was cheaper than three sonars. Pied shook his head and said he could live, not die..."

Rabbit Sansonar is three yuan, wild chickens can sell to ten yuan, and the price difference is too big.

Claude looked at Villicro and Villicro was very understanding: "Then sell it. Bok Al is right. Tomorrow's harvest will be shared tomorrow. ”

So it took you an hour to get off the dunes and out of the woods, and you ran into a carriage to town. Bork Al paid for a rabbit and asked the driver to agree to send the four men to the old tavern.

Pierre knew Claude, and although he had not spoken much, he had also met several times.

What made Piedad wonder was how the hell they caught these rabbits and wild chickens, not like they were caught by hunting dogs, even though Claude and Verickro were carrying firewire guns behind their backs, but there were no wounds on these rabbits and wild chickens, they just didn't have the spirit, they lived well.

“Let's see, one for the wild chickens, one for the rearsaults, four for the rabbits, one for the sonar, shall we?” Pied said.

When Bok Al came out, he used the scene where he had last seen Pied acquiring wild chickens from the mountaineers to fully demonstrate how unreasonable and dishonest Pied's purchase price was at that time. Soon after, Pied was allowed to admit his careless mistakes and compare Claude's well-lived prey to those caught by the hounds. To express his apologies, Pied offered to raise the purchase price of a wild chicken by a sonar, and the rabbit added a sonar purchase price.

Claude decided to make a deal while leaving a rabbit to take home. Over the next month, Claude decided to make sure Mr. Morsan ate rabbit meat every day until he wanted to throw up...

What Pied didn't expect was that the next day, Claude's four men brought him 17 wild chickens and 11 rabbits, just like yesterday, with no scars all over his body, and he lived well, just like he was exhausted and powerless. This makes Pied wonder if all four teenagers are scud legs, chase these rabbit wild chickens all over the mountain, run bored to get caught by them...

But Pierre didn't say anything, so he simply took it all away at yesterday's price. Claude brought a rabbit home as usual.

On the third day, Claude and the four of them came back, this time 11 wild chickens and seven rabbits...

The fourth day is six wild chickens and eight rabbits...

The Claude Four arrived a little late on the fifth day, and they also seemed tired and seemed to have gone a long way, although they brought back fourteen wild chickens and nine rabbits.

Pierre finally spoke, and he was euphemistic that there were still a lot of live rabbits and wild chickens in the tavern, and feeding the rabbits and wild chickens alone cost two people. So Pied hopes that Claude won't be needed for a while after today's acquisition, and they're sending in the wild chickens and rabbits.

Claude four people are relieved too. The hills and mountain forest area on the southern outskirts of town are now almost invisible to wild chickens and rabbits. In order to gain something, they also ran further away. It took them about two hours to come out of the mountain forest today...
