Chapter 59: The Wild Boar Enters the Yard
Sent away Zhao's sister-in-law, Qiao Lian went back to the house to cook on the fire, at noon at Zhang's house had already eaten a meal of chicken, Qiao Lian discussed with the children, don't eat too greasy at night, chicken and rabbit to eat slowly.
Both children are also sensible and know that they can't eat all the delicious food at once, so no one made trouble, and they all follow their mother's arrangement.
So Qiaolian fried cabbage at night, steamed the nest, and the three of them ate very fragrantly.
There was no electricity at night these years, let alone any entertainment, so after eating, I laid out the quilt early, and the three of them washed their feet and cleaned up, and they all rested in the quilt.
During the day, I went to the big camp, and it was more than 20 miles back and forth, and I was a little tired after all. Lying in the hot bed, it didn't take long for Qiaolian to fall asleep.
Since the previous fire, Qiao Lian has been extra vigilant when she sleeps, even if she is asleep, she will pay attention to the movements around her.
In a daze, Qiao Lian listened as if there was any movement outside, and there was a clicking sound, Qiao Lian sat up with a spirit, listened attentively, and there was a sound in the courtyard.
Qiao Lian's heart sank, listening to this voice, it was a bit like walking on snow, but it was not very like. Could it be that a thief came in in the middle of the night?
Qiao Lian pondered, quietly put on her clothes and went to the ground, came to the kitchen in the dark, and easily carried the kitchen knife on the board in her hand.
After thinking about it, she simply took out the axe and pinned it to her waist, if she really entered the thief, she would definitely not suffer a loss if she had something in her hand.
Qiao Lian came to the door lightly, her ears were on the door and she listened to the movement outside, the clicking movement was still there, but it was not outside the door, it seemed to be walking back and forth in the yard.
Qiao Lian felt strange, why didn't she sound like a thief?
It was also Qiaolian who was bold, and she relied on something in her hand to defend herself, so she gently removed the deadbolt and opened the door, revealing a crack to look out.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, but it startled Qiaolian.
On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, there was a big moon outside, the snow reflected the moonlight, and everything in the yard was really visible.
In the middle of the yard, there was a very large wild boar with a long mane and big fangs, which was arching all over the yard. Frightened, Qiaolian hurriedly closed the door and reinserted the deadbolt.
Well, that's scary, isn't it? The wild boars are all in the yard. Good guy, the wild boar is not small at first glance, and it is estimated that it will cost 300 catties.
The wild boar is not a domestic pig, such a big guy has a lot of strength, she doesn't have anything to take advantage of, where do you dare to provoke, one can't get it and hurt herself.
It's better to stay in the house honestly, don't hunt the wild boar, and get in by yourself. Anyway, no matter how powerful the wild boar is, it can't enter the house, so wait until dawn to see the situation.
Qiao Lian didn't dare to make a big move, so she quietly returned to the east room, lying in the quilt and couldn't sleep, listening to the movement outside.
I don't know how long it took, it seemed to be quiet outside, and Qiao Lian was relieved and fell asleep in a daze.
Qiaolian didn't sleep well this night, and she didn't sleep until it was almost dawn, and when she woke up again, it was already bright outside.
Qiao Lian hurriedly got up and dressed, then opened the door, poked her head out to check, there was no longer the shadow of a wild boar in the yard, the yard was messy, the pig's hoof prints, and the traces of the wild boar's arch.
didn't see the wild boar, Qiaolian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to be careless, she went out with an axe in her hand, and turned around in front of the house and behind the house.
In the end, it was discovered that the wild boar had arched a large hole in the garden pole last night, and had come in through the hole.
Qiao Lian's garden pole is very simple, tie a crossbar in the middle of several trees, and then get some branches pinned up.
The branches don't look new this year, they're old and rotten, where can they keep wild boars off? Yes, it looks like we have to re-clamp the garden pole in the spring, which is not good.
It's strange, how could a wild boar come to her yard? Qiao Lian was a little puzzled, and looked at the ground again, but she didn't see many eyebrows.
But when I looked up and looked at the trees around the house, I had a flash of inspiration in my head.
When the cane was clamped in this yard, it was convenient to bury the foot of the pillar, so a tree was left two feet away.
There are different varieties of these trees, and several are oak trees. The oak tree looks a little old, and it will definitely bear wives, and no one will clean up the wisps when they fall to the ground in autumn.
Now at this time, the mountains are covered with snow so thick that the wild boars can't find anything to eat, and they don't know how to run out of the forest.
It happened that there were wisps in the yard of Qiaolian's house, and the wild boar simply arched in order to eat.
Thinking of the key, Qiaolian had a black line, although the snow in the yard was not as deep as on the mountain, she couldn't figure out where there were wisps.
If the big wild boar is used to eating and running and running legs, and comes when hungry, their house is a little dangerous.
What can I do? Is it just the big guy running home? No, she really had to think of something.
But for a while, Qiao Lian really couldn't think of any good way, so she had no choice but to go back to the house to cook first.
During the day, Qiaolian didn't dare to let the children go out, but when it was almost noon, Qiaolian went into the mountains by herself, chopped some firewood, and came back with a rabbit.
That night, Qiao Lian didn't dare to sleep, stared and waited, and in the middle of the night, she heard movement outside again.
Well, sure enough, she guessed correctly, this big wild boar used her house as a granary, and came to find something to eat.
What can I do? It would be really dangerous if the big boar came like this, but she didn't grab it, the wild boar was too big, and she couldn't deal with it at all.
If you can't deal with it, you have to find a way to deal with it, there are still two children at home, such a behemoth is nearby, how can Qiaolian feel at ease?
If you don't have a shotgun, then set a trap? It doesn't seem to work, it's too difficult to dig traps in winter, and the ground is frozen and hard, how can you dig it?
If the trap doesn't work, then set a clip? Get a few more traps, or maybe it will do.
Yes, trap clips, maybe in the system.
Thinking of this, Qiao Lian hurriedly rubbed her eyebrows, and her consciousness entered the system. The voice of the system's mechanization came to my head. "Welcome to the Plane Shop Exchange System, what do you want to exchange today?"
Qiao Lian entered in the dialog box, large animal traps, sure enough, there were several kinds, Qiao Lian browsed one by one, found a large animal trap that was more similar to this era, and was ruthless, and bought ten.
Who knows where the wild boar will enter the yard next time? She plans to set up a few more, and it will always work.
After buying the clips, Qiao Lian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then she fell asleep with peace of mind.
When he got up the next day, he saw that the wild boar had not come in through the original hole, and had arched out a hole in the garden stick.
Qiaolian wants to cry without tears, if it goes on like this, her garden stick will become honeycomb coal, what role can it play?
That evening, Qiao Lian laid ten clamps around the yard where the wild boar might appear, and then waited quietly for the wild boar to come.
