This trap is about two meters long and wide, but the depth actually reaches three meters, with a small mouth and a big belly, and dozens of sharpened bamboos densely inserted below.
"Who dug this trap? Damn, you don't even make a mark?"
Looking at the situation below, Ye Tian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, if he stepped into the air, he would fall in, although the bamboo might not kill him, but injury was probably inevitable.
Because he followed the local snake Hu Hongde, Ye Tian did not release the qi machine to sense the danger before, and at this moment he knew that there was also a murderous intention hidden in this primeval forest.
"It's a poacher, I didn't expect them to dig a trap here, I don't know if it's alive or dead."
Although he sometimes goes into the mountains to hunt, he never sells these prey just to satisfy his appetite, and the amount of hunting is also very limited.
But professional poachers are different, from flying dragons flying in the sky, to roe deer, tigers and black bears, they catch everything, regardless of life or death.
Large traps like those presented in front of Ye Tian and Hu Hongde are aimed at large beasts such as tigers and leopards.
If you observe carefully, you can find that the length of those bamboos is exquisite, but they can pierce the tiger's abdomen without hurting the fur on their backs.
"How dare you set a trap on my territory? I don't have time to clean them up now, and when Xiaoxian wakes up, I will settle accounts with them!"
The overlord of Changbai Mountain has never been the Siberian tiger in the mountains, but these hunters living around the mountain, before liberation and even for a long time after liberation, Hu Yunbao was recognized as the king of Changbai Mountain, and no one dared to challenge his status.
In the seventies and eighties after Hu Yunbao's death, Hu Hongde was also famous in Changbai Mountain, and among the thousands of old visitors who hunted or collected herbs in Changbai Mountain, only Hu Hongde dared to enter Changbai Mountain empty-handed.
In addition to hunting the fire fox, Hu Hongde had also captured tigers and leopards with his bare hands, and when he mentioned his name, there was no one who did not give a thumbs up.
However, Hu Hongde has always adhered to a principle, that is, backing the mountain to eat the mountain, and the hunters around him hunt animals for food, he will never say anything, even if you kill a tiger and drink tiger bone wine, Hu Hongde will not see it.
But if it is an organized large-scale hunting of wild beasts in the mountains for profit, Hu Hongde will not stand by, and there are at least a dozen poachers who have been sent to the forestry police station by him over the years.
Although these people hate Hu Hongde to the bone, they are not Hu Hongde's opponents at all in the mountains, so there are generally no poachers in the mountains around the wooden house where Hu Hongde lives.
But the appearance of this trap today shows that those people have stretched their claws into Hu Hongde's territory, if it weren't for the concern for his granddaughter, Hu Hongde would never give up.
"Ye Tian, wait for me for a while, I'll fill this hole!"
Hu Hongde took a short sapper shovel from his back with a gloomy face, dug out the soil hidden in the dry grass next to those people and filled it into the pit.
After finishing his busy work, Hu Hongde looked at a shiny pocket watch on his waist and said: "I don't have the time to pick ginseng today, the time is tight, Ye Tian, you go behind me, be careful that there are traps in front of you."
"Okay, be careful too."
Ye Tian didn't show off his ability and followed behind Hu Hongde, but this time he released his qi, sensing the place where the road ahead could bring him a sense of danger.
Along the way, he found three traps of different sizes one after another, as well as more than a dozen traps for hunting large animals.
"Let me catch these people, I have to skin them!"
Hu Hongde's face was already black to the stock, and the other party had set many traps so blatantly, clearly not taking him seriously, which made Hu Hongde, who was in the Changbai Mountains, feel a little unbearable.
"Lao Hu, control your anger, it's better to find the soul-returning grass first, don't be in a hurry to dig ginseng today, when Xiaoxian wakes up, I will accompany you again!"
Ye Tian patted Hu Hongde on the shoulder, his heart was also full of anger, the traps set by these poachers did not have any hints, where were they simply going to the beasts, even people were calculated in it, it could be described as ruthless.
"Okay, since they like Changbai Mountain so much, let's stay here."
Hu Hongde's eyes showed a murderous aura, but he started a real fire, with a father like Hu Yunbao, Hu Hongde is naturally not a good stubble, and his subordinates are not a single life, the mountains here are high and dense, kill a few people and throw them into the valley, and the gods can't find them.
"Well, there is a silly roe deer caught, let's roe deer meat at night!"
In a place where the beast clip was placed, Ye Tian saw the roe deer for the first time, this thing was a bit like a deer, but it was slightly smaller, and the whole body was grass yellow, and it was difficult to identify it while lying in the dry grass.
The roe deer was pinched in the leg, Hu Hongde didn't talk nonsense, stretched out his right hand and pinched it at the neck of the roe deer, and then pinched off its neck.
"Let's go, I can't go back no matter how dark it gets."
Because it took a lot of time to deal with the traps and those beast clips, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the place where the soul-returning grass grew that Hu Hongde said.
Coming to the foot of this mountain, Hu Hongde pointed to a stream not far away and said: "Ye Tian, that's where donkey splint vegetables like warm and humid climates, are waterlogged and afraid of drought, and are generally born on shady slopes, grasslands and rivers."
This stream is only more than a meter wide, the water quality is crystal clear, and it flows very slowly, according to Hu Hongde, when the snow on the mountain melts next year, this stream will become a river.
On both sides of the stream, there are tall birch forests, but in spring and summer, the dense woods will cover the entire stream, which is a good place for the soul-reviving grass to grow.
"Black loam, that's right, there must be donkey splint dishes underground!" Hu Hongde came to the stream, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and looked at it, with a happy look on his face.
"Lao Hu, dig it, it's almost dark when you rush back, don't waste time." Ye Tian glanced at the sky, but the sun above his head was obscured by a dark cloud, and the wind was blowing.
Ye Tian is not afraid of the cold, it does not mean that he likes to wear thin clothes in the rain, and when it rains, the temperature will drop sharply, and the mountain road is slippery, Ye Tian does not want to stay in this old forest for a long time.
"Okay!"
Hu Hongde agreed, walked to the woods more than ten meters away from the stream, observed the dry grass on the ground, and dug it up with a sapper shovel.
"I found it, Ye Tian, do you think it's this thing?"
Just now, after digging a few shovels, Hu Hongde shouted, the soul-reviving grass is not a precious medicinal material, if it comes in the right season, it can be seen in many places in Changbai Mountain.
"That's right, it should be this thing, Lao Hu, dig more!"
Ye Tian picked up this palm-sized rhizome, which has two small ears at the base, a bit like donkey ears, no wonder it is called a donkey splint dish by the locals.
"Lao Hu, okay, these are enough!"
The growth of the soul-returning grass was basically in patches, and it didn't take much effort, Hu Hongde dug out seven or eight rhizomes of the soul-returning grass, and Ye Tian looked at it almost and stopped him.
Hu Hongde put the rhizomes of the soul-reviving grass into his backpack, looked at Ye Tian and asked, "Ye Tian, how do you use these things?"
"Drying and grinding into powder, then crushing the incense and mixing it with it to burn."
Ye Tian looked at the sky and said: "I'm afraid it's too late today, let's go back to where you live first, make the preparations and talk about it, Xiaoxian should not have an accident within three days."
Hu Hongde naturally had no objection to Ye Tian's words, he was from the mountains, and his prediction of this weather was more accurate than Ye Tian's, and he estimated that Changbai Mountain would soon usher in the first snow of the year.
Sure enough, not long after Hu Hongde and Ye Tian arrived at the wooden house, snowflakes floated in the sky, the snow in Changbai Mountain was different from what Ye Tian had seen, a snowflake was the size of a child's palm, and Ye Tian was amazed to see it.
The bonfire reflected the wooden house in a bright red, and from time to time there was a sound of firewood burning and exploding.
There was a washed and peeled roe deer on the bonfire, and Hu Hongde stuffed a lot of seasonings into his stomach, and there were knife edges on the meat, and Hu Hongde brushed oil on it from time to time.
Hu Hongde took a plate, shaved off several pounds of meat from the roasted roe deer, and brought it to Ye Tian.
"Yes, this meat is so fragrant!"
There are not many animals on Maoshan, Ye Tian used to eat pheasants often, but he had never eaten game like roe deer.
Hu Hongde practiced kung fu from his mother's house, don't look at him is in his sixties, the amount of food is not smaller than Ye Tian's, a roe deer with skin and guts and more than 20 pounds of roe deer was shared by Ye Tian and Hu Hongde.
After eating, Ye Tian and Hu Hongde surrounded the rhizomes of the soul-returning grass by the campfire, roasted them for several hours and waited for the water inside to evaporate before grinding them into powder one by one.
"Damn, why can't this door be pushed open?" After getting up early the next morning, when Ye Tian wanted to leave the house, he found that the heavy snow outside the door had buried half of the door.
