Chapter 12 The Beast Trap

Chapter 12 Beast Trap

Author: Fiery Burning Sky

Chapter 12 Beast Trap

In the early morning, Huahua and Linlin were still sleeping.

Li Cuiyu walked out of the room wearing flip-flops and saw Liu Ye already busy opening the door.

Liu Ye is using vise and No. 8 steel wire to weave a huge wire cage.

The strange thing is that there are many inverted hooks on the inside of the wire cage.

Li Cuiyu's face was still a little blushing when she thought about what happened last night. Liu Ye last night was so many times more aggressive than when she was newlywed that Li Cuiyu's legs no longer looked like her own.

Li Cuiyu asked curiously: "Liu Ye, what are you doing?"

The steel wire cage is one meter high, one meter wide and one and a half meters long, which is enough to fit an adult.

Liu Ye smiled and asked: "Wife, guess what?"

There was one missing door in that cage, which made Li Cuiyu think it was a "chicken cage, duck cage" or something like that.

"Honey, you'll know later. Go and cook porridge. Huahua and Linlin are about to wake up. You still have to dress them."

"Yeah. Then I'll go."

Li Cuiyu responded and ducked into the kitchen.

According to the memory of later generations, Liu Ye made a movable mechanism door based on the principle of a "mouse trap" and installed a spring. Just put bait in the cage, and the beast will get in and eat, and it will be tightly closed.

inside.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

Hearing a male voice, I looked up and saw that it was my brother-in-law Li Yugang.

Li Cuiyu has two older brothers and one younger brother. The eldest brother Li Yugang and the second brother Li Yutie both farm at home. The younger brother Li Yuzhi is still in high school.

As the only daughter in the family, Li Cuiyu is naturally doted on at home.

"Brother, are you so early?"

Liu Ye quickly put down what he was doing and stepped forward with a smile.

In Li Yugang's eyes, his brother-in-law was notorious, so he naturally didn't have a good look on his face and asked displeasedly: "Brother-in-law, what do you want to do?"

It can be seen that such a large wire cage is made by hand, and it will take several hours to get out of it.

Of course Liu Ye couldn't say it was a beast trap, so he lied and said, "I want to make a chicken coop."

Li Yugang put down the snakeskin bag in his hand and poured out the taro inside, which weighed about ten kilograms.

"Dad asked me to come over and take a look. Do you need help with any farm work? If you don't plant crops, the season will be missed, and you will be short of food for half a year."

Li Yugang asked.

Liu Ye expressed his thoughts, that is, the cultivated land in the wild boar ridge should no longer be planted with rice, but sweet potatoes. He had planted the sweet potato ridge yesterday and was going to cut some sweet potato vine cuttings today. There is also a land plot in Xindiwan.

Growing sweet potatoes does require labor help.

Li Yugang couldn't help but frowned and said, "With such a harsh sun, wouldn't the sweet potato cuttings still get burned to death?"

Liu Ye: "When planting sweet potatoes, the requirements for water are not that high. You only need to cover them well and water them for a week, and the sweet potatoes will survive. In addition, I also want to take advantage of every opportunity to sow some mung beans, corn, and sorghum to improve the quality of the potatoes."

Yield.

"Haha, my brother-in-law is so smart that he actually knows so much?" Li Yugang asked sarcastically: "Since you know you are busy with farm work, do you still have the time to do this?"

According to the tone that Liu Ye and Li Cuiyu had agreed upon in bed, they could not tell anyone about hunting to make money, including their own relatives.

People can't keep their mouths closed. Once other people know about it, their financial path will be cut off.

At least half a year later, Liu Ye must follow the example of the little devils who enter the village and do it quietly without using guns!

"Brother, it's a joke. If you want to help me, I will work hard and pay you."

Hearing the noise outside the hospital, Li Cuiyu came out of the kitchen and asked, "Brother, why are you so early?"

Li Yugang pointed to the taro on the ground and said, "Dad asked me to bring it. Also, I have to help my brother-in-law do farm work for a day today. Dad is afraid that your precious daughter will starve to death."

Regarding Liu Ye, Li Yugang had the idea of ​​hating iron but not steel. Therefore, when he spoke in front of Liu Ye, his tone was not so good.

Liu Ye winked at Li Cuiyu, and Li Cuiyu immediately understood what he meant.

Li Cuiyu: "Brother, don't you know Liu Ye is injured?"

Li Yugang: "How was he injured?"

Li Cuiyu: "The night before yesterday, while working in Xindiwan, he encountered two wild wolves and almost died."

It's like this in rural areas. Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The story of Liu Ye, a bad guy, bravely fighting the wild wolves only caused a little splash in Yanzi'ao, but it didn't cause any ripples in the entire Xinguang Village.

After listening to Li Cuiyu tell what happened, Li Yugang said helplessly: "In that case, let's let my brother-in-law rest at home for a few days. There is not much farm work. Xiaotie and I can finish it in one day.

After cutting the sweet potatoes, we cut some firewood to block the sun, and my brother-in-law needs to do the watering every day."

"Thank you bro!"

Li Cuiyu was happy.

Only she knew that Liu Ye's injuries had scabbed over. Doing those farm jobs was totally out of the question.

At the moment, judging from Liu Ye's actions, he should have a next step plan.

Li Yugang explained a few words and left. He and Li Yutie would complete all the farm work for Liu Ye's family today.

Liu Ye knew very well that most of the farmers in later generations went to work in cities to make money. Especially in a small place like Yanzi'ao, where the per capita cultivated land is less than three-thirds, how could there be such a need for so much labor?

Li Cuiyu rolled her eyes at Liu Ye and said angrily: "You even want to lie to my brother?"

The young couple, who originally lived like enemies, had obviously changed after the storm last night. The way Li Cuiyu looked at Liu Ye was different.

Liu Ye installed the last spring, and a beast trap was completed.

He said excitedly: "Jiuyu, bring some bait."

Li Cuiyu asked: “What bait do you want?

"Anything is fine! Rice, meat, etc., as long as you can eat it."

After a while, Li Cuiyu filled a bowl of gruel. Liu Ye put the bowl of gruel into the wire cage.

Next, Liu Ye let out all five chickens at home.

When the chickens saw the gruel in the wire cage, they all got in and pecked it. By accident, the mechanism was triggered and the door of the wire cage was closed!

The animal trap in front of me is large enough, and it is definitely not just for catching a few chickens. It can fit a wild boar or even a tiger cub.

Wild wolves are beasts. It's not difficult to lock two of them in at once.

Li Cuiyu was shocked when she saw the chickens in wire cages.

She tried it, but because the spring was too strong, she couldn't open the door with her strength as a woman.

Liu Ye smiled and said: "If a beast gets into this cage, will I catch it alive?"

Li Cuiyu asked in surprise: "Liu Ye, why are you so smart?"
