Chapter 18 The Sharp Knife Trap
Thinking about it all the way, he arrived at the place soon. Qian Xiaoxing saw Yi Hongyue arranged for people to erect sharp knives. A row of double-edged knives with fast blades stood shiny on the ground, revealing about ten centimeters of the ground. However, the Yi mother tribe of the crossbow could not find one, and the idea of making a crossbow trap could not be realized after seeing it.
However, Yi Hongyue said: "As long as the snake is cut open and cumella, it won't live long, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't use a crossbow. It's almost ten days since the last time the cattle and sheep were placed, and we will start tomorrow."
Qian Xiaoxing checked the tip of the knife again, and the buried deep and would not be easily pried. However, the tips of the knife were too obvious. Qian Xiaoxing asked the tribe members to cut branches to cover them. In this way, everything was ready, and the snake was about to come out.
After breakfast the next day, Qian Xiaoxing was invited by his clan to Yi Hongyue and prepared to implement Qian Xiaoxing's plan. Yi Hongyue prepared a big goat, tied her four hooves, and asked her clan members to carry it to the pond.
The sheep were lifted to the blade formation and put them down, and the personnel immediately evacuated. If the snake was to come to eat the sheep, it would definitely pass through the blade formation when it came from the pond. It will be clear whether it could be achieved immediately.
After putting down the sheep, everyone climbed up the mountain beside them, hid in the bushes and watched the sheep silently. The sheep kept shouting and rolling and struggling on the ground from time to time.
Qian Xiaoxing and Yi Hongyue squatted behind the bush. When Yi Hongyue saw Qian Xiaoxing's nervous expression, she asked, "Are you afraid?"
Qian Xiaoxing was about to answer fear, and when he thought about how a big man could show fear in front of a woman, he said, "Not afraid!"
"Then why are you so nervous?" Yi Hongyue saw that he didn't admit it and insisted on exposing Qian Xiaoxing.
"I'm nervous because you are too close to me. A woman like you is still somewhat lethal to me. I'm afraid I can't resist your temptation." Qian Xiaoxing argued.
"You have never seen my appearance before, so you were tempted?" Yi Hongyue retorted.
Qian Xiaoxing replied: "There are many things that women can seduce men. The appearance is just one aspect. Your figure is very hot, with a small waist, a big butt, and a good breast. It is extremely tempting me all the time."
Yi Hongyue glanced at Qian Xiaoxing and replied, "You have observed it very carefully!"
While the two were talking, the tribe members next to them whispered: "Class leader, the big snake is here."
When Qian Xiaoxing heard this, he hurriedly lowered his body, and then slowly exposed his head to look at the pond. On the shore of the small island in the pond, a thick and black snake body kept sliding into the water. The front of the snake had already stepped into the pond and was swimming over. The quiet and silent made people extremely nervous.
Qian Xiaoxing only saw a snake body, but it was difficult to judge how big it was. Soon the snake head emerged from the bottom of the water. Qian Xiaoxing almost screamed when he saw it. The snake head was as big as a dustpan, his eyes were as big as a volleyball, and he spitted a snake letter and swam towards the goat.
Qian Xiaoxing held his breath nervously. Although he was mentally prepared, such a big snake was really unexpected. He almost swam into the sharp knife formation when he saw it and stared at it intently.
Because the snake was very heavy, it did not swim very quickly. It slightly raised the snake's head and swam on the branches. Rows of sharp knives stood towards the sky. After the snake swam up, there was nothing unusual. It continued to swim forward until the goat, grabbed the goat in one bite, and turned around.
Qian Xiaoxing looked at it. The goat was more than 20 meters away from the pond. The snake's tail was still not exposed in the pond. Qian Xiaoxing was amazed. How long is this snake? Seeing the big snake turning around and wandering around with the sheep in his mouth, it was nothing strange. Is it so strange that those sharp knives are useless?
After a while, the snake swam back to the pond and dived. At this time, the tail appeared from the pond. The snake's body folded in half at the goat. This way, the snake was at least more than 40 meters long.
The entire snake body slid through the sharp knife formation, but nothing was abnormal. Until the snake's tail also stepped into the water, the snake's tail disappeared on the foggy island.
Seeing the snake disappear, Qian Xiaoxing said in confusion: "What's going on? The snake doesn't look injured. Could it be that the sharp knife is not sharp enough?"
"I have checked the sharp knife, and they are all very sharp, but in my opinion, it is because the scales of the snake are very thick and hard, and the sharp knife cannot be cut at all." Yi Hongyue analyzed.
Qian Xiaoxing nodded after hearing this. It seemed that this was the only possibility. Fortunately, he didn't use the crossbow. Such thick scales may not be able to hit it. Even if it hit it but it was not as important as it would anger the big snake, the consequences would be too serious.
"It seems that this method doesn't work. If it fails, I'll go back and think about it." Qian Xiaoxing said dejectedly.
Yi Hongyue encouraged: "Don't be discouraged, no one can kill for hundreds of years, and it's not something you can kill in a moment."
"If you can't kill the big snake, you can't borrow soldiers. If you can't borrow soldiers, you can't take revenge. I must come up with a solution." Qian Xiaoxing secretly encouraged himself.
When they returned to the village, Qian Xiaoxing told Si Yingying and Lu Shengzhong about the hunting process today. They were all very sorry, but they didn't expect that the big snake was invulnerable.
Qian Xiaoxing thought of many ways in his mind. He used a trap to catch it. If he couldn't do it, he couldn't make such a big trap. If he used people to catch it, he probably just gave food to the snake. He really couldn't think of any way for a while.
Three days later, Qian Xiaoxing still couldn't figure out a solution. For such an invulnerable monster, there was no good way to deal with it. Qian Xiaoxing pulled the peanuts in his hand, threw away the peanuts, stuffed the peanut shells into his mouth, chewed them a few times before he started vomiting.
These days, Si Yingying saw Qian Xiaoxing's thoughts in a daze, and couldn't bear it. She pulled him to the village and helped him relax.
Qian Xiaoxing also felt dizzy and confused. It seemed that he had to adjust it, otherwise he would feel nervous. The two were wandering around the village, and Lu Shengzhong also walked over and said, "Seventh brother, there is still plenty of time now, don't worry, I'll take you to hunt."
Qian Xiaoxing saw that Lu Shengzhong was holding two bows and arrows in his hand and was very bad at hunting Qian Xiaoxing, but he still loved it very much. He wanted to relax and hunt, but it was also good. So he said goodbye to Si Yingying and walked into the deep mountains with Lu Shengzhong.
Qian Xiaoxing tried to pull the bow, but he could pull it up even if he didn't have much elasticity, but with Qian Xiaoxing's accurate head, he just wanted to play with it. He really wanted to shoot the prey unless the prey was as big as an elephant.
Lu Shengzhong found footprints of prey on the ground in a short while, and the two followed along the footprints. Suddenly, Lu Shengzhong stopped, squatted down, pointed his finger in front, Qian Xiaoxing looked around and saw a rabbit eating grass in the grass.
Lu Shengzhong signaled Qian Xiaoxing to shoot arrows. Qian Xiaoxing shook his head and understood his own archery skills. If he shot, he would only drive away the prey. So he whispered: "Brother Zhong, let's shoot together."
The two of them secretly stood up, took a bow and shot arrows, and shot them out at the same time. As expected, Qian Xiaoxing shot and Lu Shengzhong shot.
Qian Xiaoxing suddenly straightened after looking at the bent bow body and shot the arrow. Suddenly, the light of inspiration flashed. The problem that had troubled him for several days suddenly had a solution. He said to Lu Shengzhong excitedly: "Brother Zhong, I have thought of a way to kill the big snake! This time it will definitely work."
"I'll tell me, it's right to go out to hunt, what's the solution?" Lu Shengzhong asked happily.
"If we can't kill from outside, we will shoot from the snake." Qian Xiaoxing sorted out his thoughts and continued, "The bow and arrow just now gave me inspiration. We pulled the bow full of strings and tied them with ropes at both ends. It was an elastic semicircle. After the snake got into its stomach, the rope broke and the bow straightened up. What would have been the case if the bow had sharp knives at both ends?"
Lu Shengzhong imagined: "That is a straight stick with a knife in both segments. If it is held up in the snake's belly, it will definitely break the snake's internal organs."
“Yes, that’s it.”
The two immediately returned to the village and asked their superiors Yingying and Xu Lingli to go to Yi Hongyue's residence together. After hearing Qian Xiaoxing's method, Yi Hongyue was also novel and thought about it and asked, "But how can you let the snake eat it?"
"I have also thought about this. It can be hidden on the sheep's body. In order to prevent the bow from being straight in the snake's belly and like the snake's body, I want to make a cross, which is to tie the two bows together, so that no matter what angle you stand up, you can stab the big snake. The cross is placed on the back of the sheep, and then the four bent heads tied the four legs of the sheep, and then cover the outside with sheepskin. I think it can be done." Qian Xiaoxing explained.
After hearing this, Yi Hongyue immediately ordered Bi Yao to find a big sheep, two bows and arrows, and asked Qian Xiaoxing to demonstrate. After Qian Xiaoxing tied the bow into a cross, he placed it on the back of the sheep, tied it tightly, and tied it with the sheep legs.
After Qian Xiaoxing finished the process, he continued, "Tie the rope of the bow, we can find cowhide. Once the cowhide is digested by the snake, the bow will straighten up."
Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing could really tie two bows to the goat, Yi Hongyue began to feel confident in this method and said, "Good idea, we can't attack the outside of the snake, so we will attack the inside of the snake. I'll plan to follow this method in two days."
