Marin knows archery, he was a hunting enthusiast in previous lives. Because Huaxia banned guns in future generations, forced to helplessly, Marin learned the skills of archery.
In addition, in the previous life, Marin himself made an England long bow, and then took this bow and the arrow made by the master blacksmith. He repeatedly appeared in the mountains and forests behind his hometown and hunted many birds (beasts early) The seniors who used shotguns before they were banned were wiped out) and the hare.
Of course, in the Middle Ages, bows and arrows were also very important weapons, and their prices were very expensive. It takes at least two or three months to make an English long bow, regardless of the cost of materials. Therefore, Marin now has no time to make the England longbow, nor does he have the money to buy the materials for making the longbow.
However, in previous lives, Marin also learned another hunting skill-setting traps ...
As long as he is cleverly disguised, sensitive animals will also be deceived and set foot in the trap. Because, after all, animals are animals, they often pay attention to the movements around them in order to escape in the first place. They have devoted too much energy to "six ways of seeing and seeing" and "listening to all directions", but they often ignore the danger under their feet. As long as the traps are arranged realistically, most animals can be deceived. Of course, the premise is that the animals happen to run to the ground where the trap is located.
Marin observed that he was currently in a forest on the banks of the Rhine in Germany. There is a small stream in the forest with plenty of water.
林 Marin who has seen many episodes of Animal World knows that many animals, especially herbivores, like to run to the river to drink water in the morning. Some beasts also like to ambush and drink small animals by the river in the morning.
However, there are no tigers and lions in Europe, only Timberwolves can be regarded as intractable beasts. But the wolf is an animal that appears in the night, and it won't come out in the morning. So, by the river in the morning, herbivores are not dangerous.
Marin rode back and forth on the side of the creek several times, and dismounted several times, observing the footprints on the ground animals and the feces, and finally identified three places where the animals drank frequently.
In these three places, the terrain by the river is relatively flat and there are no trees. The reason why herbivores choose this kind of place is to consider the convenience of drinking water and the convenience of escape. Even if someone or a beast wants to ambush them, they can always be found.
Choose a good location, and then naturally set up a trap. Sadly, Marin didn't have a digging shovel or pick. Strictly speaking, there are not many iron farm tools in western Europe. Many estates, such as the Huffman estate, a considerable part of the farm implements used by serfs were made of pure wood. Only in Italy, as well as in areas with more developed metallurgical industries such as England, and some other richer areas, iron farm tools are generally popular. As for using copper to make agricultural tools, that's really huh. Because at this time European copper was relatively scarce. Before the development of large copper mines in Sweden and the introduction of Japanese copper by the Dutch, the value of copper was relatively high, and the exchange ratio with silver was around 15: 1, which was quite expensive. Therefore, using copper wares as agricultural tools, it is really local talents.
Since Marin was deceived, she is now a 24K pure poor ghost. It is impossible to have money to buy metal farm tools. Therefore, he could only find a tree in the Black Forest, and with a short knife that he carried with him, he laboriously cut down a branched tree and made a simple wooden pick. Then, with this wooden pick, he laboriously started digging traps.
How hard is it to dig soil with a wooden farm implement? Digging the pick into the soil is more laborious. Fortunately, by the river, the soil is humid and relatively soft. Otherwise, this wooden pick cannot be dug up. As for the large amount of soil dug out by digging, it is better to solve it, and throwing it directly into the river is ...
After digging the pit, it's time to cover up the pit. Pretend to be natural, otherwise, sensitive herbivores will not be fooled. Marin hurried to find a lot of dead branches in the forest, put them on top of the pit, and then carefully covered the freshly dug turf on the dead branches.
After a long period of toss, Marin finally laid out the first trap, ran around and observed it again, and found that there were no flaws, and then left with satisfaction. Then he laid out two deep pit traps in the same way in two other places.
Then, when the sky was getting dark, he rode away from the Black Forest. You know, there are many wolves in the forest these days. At night, the wolves came out to find meat to eat. If Marin stays in the forest overnight, maybe with Carl, it will become a supper for the wolves.
So Marin found a small town, tied the horse in the corner of the only monastery in the town, and fell asleep on the side of the horse himself—no way, who told him he did n’t have money to live in How about ...
The climate in early spring was still very cold, and Marin didn't take the quilt with him. In order to keep warm, Marin switched places, took Carl to the firewood haystack behind the church, and got into the haystack. It is also due to early spring. In summer, Marin would not dare to do so. Because there may be snakes in the haystack. When he was a kid last time, Marin opened the haystack while playing hide-and-seek with his children. He saw dozens of snake discs together and spit poisonous tongues at him, making people feel scalp. In early spring, the snake was still hibernating in the deep hole, so he could boldly lie on the haystack to sleep.
一 In the early morning of the next day, Marin was awakened by the eyes stimulated by sunlight. In fact, people in the church had already discovered him, but no one dared to disturb him. Because, Marin's dress shows his identity as a wandering knight. You know, the wandering knight is very difficult to mess with. If it is a large monastery, with its own guard, naturally one or two stray knights. But this monastery is just a monastery in a small town. There are only three or two kittens in it, and there is no guard at all. Therefore, they would not dare to provoke a potential thug like a wandering knight.
After waking up, Marin patted off the straw on his body, then took the horse to the river, washed his face, and filled the copper kettle with a new pot of water. Then he rode into the forest, digging up some grass roots and eating it for breakfast. It is also due to the fact that this body in the Middle Ages was originally accustomed to drinking cold water, otherwise, instead of the modern Marin's body, UU reading books www.wukanshu.com drinking cold water early in the morning, maybe diarrhea. In medieval Europe, diarrhea was also a difficult disease to treat ...
I guess, at 8 or 9 in the morning, Marin felt that he could go to collect the net. So he rode to three places where the trap was laid yesterday afternoon.
The first trap, no gain. Obviously, no animals stepped on. Shaking his head in depression, Marin moved to the second trap. At the second trap, Marin was pleasantly surprised to find that the grass cover on the trap was gone. Obviously, the trap worked. But what made him depressed was that the pit was empty. Presumably, an animal stepped on the trap by mistake, but escaped in time before falling off the pit.
拷 "Copy! Why is it so unlucky!" Marin went to the third trap with a depressed mood ...
Before coming to the third trap, Marin was surprised to find that the grass cover on the third trap was gone. Apparently, the trap was triggered. As he approached the trap, Marin heard a squeal of funny animals ...
What kind of animal would you be? Marin cautiously carried his rifle and leaned forward. Before coming to the pit, Marin finally saw the animals in the pit-it was a male red deer ...
As for why it is said to be male? Quite simply, stags have long horns, and doe have no horns. This red deer is not small, about in its prime.
After a visual inspection, Marin found that this robust male red deer is about 130 cm high and 180 cm long and weighs about 400 kg.
Such a tall and robust red deer, Marin was in previous lives, only seen in the zoo. Now, grabbing a live one makes him overjoyed.
