Chapter 497: Snake Cage
Duan Cheng came back quickly and brought back a bundle of bamboos . The young patient took his sword and began to cut the bamboo . He cut the bamboo into thin pieces .
“Make more, let’s make a few more cages and catch 8 to 10 snakes tomorrow . With this, we will not only eat snake soup but also snake skewer, how wonderful would it be!” Duan Cheng also hasn’t eaten meat for a long time now . So remembering the taste of snake soup, he couldn’t help but be greedy .
When the snake trap was being made, Bai Zhi and Duan Cheng found it interesting, so they also tried making it together . Later on, Doctor Shen also joined in . The other two patients, who were able to move also joined in the fun . More than a dozen basket was made with the help of many people .
Bai Zhi said with a smile: “If the snakes around here learn that we made so many traps for them, I’m sure they will run in a hurry to escape . ”
Duan Cheng said: “I’m going to put out these cages so that I can eat snake soup tomorrow morning . ”
The young patient smiled and said: “I’m not sure about that . It also depends on your luck . It’s already winter . Although the snake hasn’t begun to hibernate, they rarely come out during this time . It won’t be easy to catch a dozen of them . ”
Duan Cheng said with a smile: “It’s not easy, but my luck has always been good . ”
Bai Zhi said: “Add some oil fruit to the bait . The smell of oil fruit is the favorite flavor of snakes . As long as they are nearby, they will smell it . ”
The young patient was surprised: “How did you know this method? This is our ancestral method of catching snakes . Ordinary people don’t know about it . ”
In modern times, there was nothing that people can’t know after getting interested to learn about something . Sharing of information on the internet has been rampant for years, which also helps the world to develop .
The reason why people in ancient times were poor and short in knowledge, was because they cannot share information easily . They also regard their discovery as private knowledge of their family, which slows down the development of the world .
Bai Zhi said with a smile: “I accidentally heard of it . The people in our village know about this method . It’s not a secret at all . ”
Duan Cheng quickly looked for the avocado oil from the pile of medicinal herbs . He uses this oil in his hair, but now he mixed it to the bait . After putting the bait in the cages, he drove Bai Zhi’s carriage in the woods and put the trap everywhere . He did this until dawn… …
Duan Cheng, who could barely open his eyes, fell asleep as soon as he returned to the small tent .
Bai Zhi couldn’t help but say to Doctor Shen: “Duan Cheng works really hard just to eat snake soup . ”
Doctor Shen shook his head helplessly: “It’s not that he is greedy, it’s just the food in this military camp is too poor . It’s very uncommon in the camp not to eat a little meat for 10 days or so . However, this time, it took so long . I didn’t even see oil meat for a month . So it’s not only Duan Cheng, even me is feeling uncomfortable . ”
Bai Zhi sighed: “If there is a market nearby, we can buy some ingredients to improve our lives . ”
Doctor Shen waved his hand: “How will you find a market? Almost no one lives in this neighborhood . The soldiers grow the vegetables in the military camp . They don’t know how to grow anything else aside from the cabbage, so we can only eat cabbage every day . ” Doctor Shen was very helpless and felt like he’ll become a cabbage soon .
“How come there are no injured patients today? Is there another truce?” Bai Zhi asked .
Doctor Shen nodded his head: “They said that Marshal Wang will bring 100,000 soldiers to the border today . They will be stationed 5 miles away from here until the integration of the two armies, so there is another truce . ”
Bai Zhi asked another question: “Is Marshal Wang from the capital? Can he fight?”
