Chapter 47: I was almost shocked by the goat that came in the middle of the night.

"Owwww..."

Wolves howled regularly in the middle of the night, and Zhang Liu yawned heavily. He's very sleepy. But from the perspective of the moon in the sky, it shouldn't be midnight yet. In fact, the scenery outside is genuinely beautiful, with stars twinkling in the sky—a completely unseen sight in the city.

He placed a gnarled branch in the fire and listened to the sound of the branch quickly drying and igniting with flame. Zhang Liu continued to lower his head and tear the rattan skin, then twist it into stripes. This is the trap he is preparing for. The hole is only more than one meter deep, not to mention the goats that are good at jumping. Even an ordinary boy like him could climb easily. So, using a pit trap to catch sheep is actually quite revealing.

Even Zhang Liu didn't know which direction the goat was taking. Previously, he had seen the hole and then thought of catching goats, similar to how Qin Rushuang saw the hole and wanted to fill it with water for a bath—a beautiful imagination.

When Zhang Liu was picking fruit in the afternoon, he had already realized how stupid his idea of trying to catch sheep using a pit trap. But upon further thought, he realized that the hole could actually be exploited. Simple wood fiber lines made from twisted vine bark spread across the ground, ready to knot together at the intersections.

The outer parts of the wood fiber lines are then attached to stones to prevent them from sagging in the opposite direction. The ultimate goal is to weave them into a mesh that can be used to cover the hole. Tomorrow's workload is still relatively large; in the morning, they need to light the fire in the deep pit, dry the water inside, and extract debris such as mud.

Then place this net at the entrance of the hole, use the weeds seen everywhere as cover, and place an oyster in the middle as bait. If the goat is really tricked, all he has to do is go and drink water. It will immediately fall into the hole and get entangled in these webs. The technique of attaching stones to the outside of the wood fiber lines was something Zhang Liu had seen in a book on wilderness survival techniques.

These stones will intertwine with each other during the prey's struggle, binding it tightly.

The weight of the stone itself may also make it more difficult for the prey to escape.

I hope it works.

The rattan bundle that Anya carried was a large bundle that weighed about twenty kilograms by visual inspection.

But even the rattan itself has to be torn into four parts and used.

It was enough for Zhang Liu to make a 'hunting net prototype"—twelve horizontally and ten vertically.

The strong and flexible rattan is interwoven with ropes of bast fibers that have been hand-rubbed until smooth.

The whole look feels really nondescript.

But thanks to the fact that the rattan Anya brought was relatively thin, it had extremely high hardness.

So when Zhang Liu tried to lift the “hunting net” to test the catching effect, it still showed a certain degree of soft deformation, as expected.

But he could only sigh and shake his head.

To be honest, he himself didn't really think that this thing could be used to set a trap to catch goats.

Just when Zhang Liu was speechless due to his useless work in the middle of the night, while the howling of wolves continued in his ears, there was also a faint rustling sound.

Is that goat coming?

Subconsciously, he reached out and grabbed the wooden and stone hammer, and he was instantly ecstatic.

But when he turned to look, his expression gradually became steady.

Not one, but about a dozen goats.

Under the mutual illumination of firelight and moonlight, he could clearly see that most of the goat's hair was white with yellow, and some was black.

Some sheep have black, outward-facing horns on their heads, but others do not.

So in terms of gender, Měi Yángyáng the Sheep must be transgender, right?

(Note: Měi Yángyáng is a cartoon character in China)

Such a nonsense thought suddenly flashed into Zhang Liu's mind.

But soon, he had no other ideas.

Because it was different from Zhang Liu's expectation that the goats would run away when they saw humans and fire and would not dare to come to drink water.

At this moment, the goats were walking out the right side of the mountain, where the cave was located, and slowly heading towards the pond.

Because the herbivores have their eyes on the sides, when the goats pass by Zhang Liu, they adopt a posture similar to a sideways look, appraising the two-legged monkey holding a wooden stick in front of them.

Then they started drinking water from the pond next to the cave, one after another.

After one of the sheep started drinking, the other sheep turned sideways and looked at everything "around,” including Zhang Liu.

The distance between humans and sheep is actually not even half a meter.

Zhang Liu could clearly smell the scent of the ram in front of him. He heard the loud sound of sheep's hooves rubbing against every grain of gravel and the sound of sheep's nostrils breathing.

He froze.

Didn't their ancestors allow primitive people to work?

How can you not consider the terrifying two-legged monkey?

There's a fire burning next to me!

But even with fire and weapons at hand, Zhang Liu did not dare to move.

Because he clearly heard the sound of the ram's horns screeching against the rock wall and he saw the ram finish rubbing his horns, he raised his head and gave a provocative look.

He seems to be mocking:

“Do you have the ability to touch me?”

Facing this provocative gaze, Zhang Liu could only show a smile uglier than crying, then silently raise his head, and then his expression became strange.

Zhang Liu looked up and saw Anya and Qin Rushuang's heads coming out of the cave, and Anya looked even more excited.

The provocative look was now also the last look in this alpha sheep's life.

Like a magical weapon descending from the sky, Anya jumped out of the cave carrying a stone the size of her arms.

The stone in her hand accelerated after falling two meters in the air and accurately hit the head of the ram, which was probably the leader.

After emitting a teeth-breaking clicking sound, it was also accompanied by a war cry filled with feminine power.

"Shine!"

She has been speaking Japanese for a long time in Japan, so when she gets excited like this, she subconsciously utters a Japanese curse word.

1 minute ago:

Outside the cave, Zhang Liu, who was in the position of the sheep's defense, was holding a wooden stick and did not dare to move, for fear that the sheep would attack him.

But Anya and Qin Rushuang, who had been awakened by the howling of wolves, were about to head out to chat with Zhang Liu when they saw a magical sight of a group of sheep surrounding Zhang Liu below.

Qin Rushuang was instantly stunned by this scene.

On the other hand, Anya hesitated for a few seconds, and because she really couldn't bear to provoke Zhang Liu, she took a risk and took action.

He is the future heir of the An family; you are nothing but a sheep!

Anya, who once lost the balls of dozens of calves on her cattle farm and chased the cows to eat the meat, is also a completely ruthless person.

Her attack from the sky had completely reached its limit in terms of surprise attack and attack power.

But she did not kill the stubborn wild animal instantly, but only accomplished the feat of breaking one of its horns.

Anya fell heavily to the ground, then smiled happily as if she had succeeded in taking revenge.

The entire herd, including the leader, was frightened and fled in all directions.

The goat head, which had a serious head injury, was probably delirious and did not avoid the fire like other goats but rather ran directly into the fire.
