Start with hooves

The early morning of the 18th day of participating in the program.

The old saying is true.

People will have countless worries only after they are full. When they are hungry, they just want to find something to fill their stomachs.

Even though Yang Xiaomi was standing in front of Su Rui now, he only wanted to know if the other person was holding a hamburger, pizza or something like that. He didn't have the energy to think about anything else. If he lost nutrients and wasted energy, he would only get hungrier faster.

I eat fish and berries all day long, and always eat until I am 50% to 60% full. I alternate between one meal full and one meal hungry every day, and the aftereffects have gradually become apparent.

Occasionally when Suri reached out to touch the little otter, he felt that the little guy seemed quite fat.

Therefore, in order to avoid doing anything wrong, he was walking in the woods at this moment, checking the traps he had set up before, hoping for good luck. Su Rui said to the portable camera:

“Hunger affects your brain.”

"When I first adopted the little otter, I just wanted to rescue it and also considered training it to help fish. Now I have started to use it as a backup food."

"This is probably also the reason why the laws of some countries allow people to eat protected animals in emergency situations without violating the law."

"I was just recording a reality show, so I still had a way out. For those who are really in trouble, they will eat everything around them like a drowning person. It is really inappropriate to pursue legal responsibility in this situation. At that time, people have almost turned into beasts."

"For the safety of the little otter, I plan to release it back into the wild. Fortunately, it has learned some fishing skills and can try to live independently. However, it always likes to stick to me and will not run away even if I leave it alone in the camp."

"So if he doesn't want to leave, I can give him an official name and adopt him as a pet, just like Big Orange."

He kept talking about considering withdrawing from the competition countless times every day. Just when Su Rui thought he would return empty-handed again today, he was surprised to find many footprints on the ground, as if left by a wild boar.

Just as he squatted down to take pictures of the footprints and regretted losing his bow and arrow, he heard a noise coming from the front, like a wild boar howling.

Su Rui remembered that the ground trap he had set was just in front of him. This surprised him so much that he ran forward in a hurry.

soon.

He stopped in a hurry and saw two Canadian timber wolves standing next to the ground trap, who had also discovered their prey.

The Canadian timber wolf is not as big as the British Columbia wolf, but it still looks scary when it grins ferociously.

Since he knew that there were not only bears but also wolves roaming around the camp, Suri would take the weapons prepared by the bodyguards when he went out, plus a wooden fork made by himself.

A large three-pronged wooden fork, similar to the ones used to turn over and dry crops in rural areas.

Su Rui became alert immediately, holding a wooden fork in his hand and staring at the two wolves standing next to the trap from more than ten meters away.

Out of the instinct for survival, his brain was working rapidly, and he soon became alert and attentive to the movements around him, fearing that other Canadian timber wolves in the pack might be lurking around and trying to give him a fatal blow by surprise attack.

Suri watched documentaries about wolf pack hunting when he was bored. He realized that this kind of animal is smarter than it looks and is particularly good at hunting large prey through teamwork.

Even some unlucky bears would die tragically under the siege of wolves.

When watching "Wild Alone" before, Suri had seen contestants confronting lone wolves. At the time, she just thought it was very interesting. It was not until this moment that she realized how dangerous the situation of those contestants was.

There is no doubt that he felt that not only his heartbeat was accelerating, but his blood pressure was also soaring instantly. For a moment, he was so nervous that he could hear his own heartbeat, thump thump.

really.

Life is the best teacher. When Su Rui read The Old Man and the Sea in his early years, he couldn't understand why the stubborn old man would risk his life to keep his big fish.

Now, Suri didn't think about what he had in real life. He just wanted to snatch the wild boar that fell into the trap from the wolves' mouths and have a good meal.

Considering the current situation.

He suspected that the wolves had discovered the wild boar first, and while chasing the wild boar, the unlucky boar running in front panicked and fell into the trap.

Or maybe the wild boar that fell into the trap was not yet dead, and its howling attracted the wolves.

No matter what, Su Rui really wanted to catch the wild boar, which gave him a reason not to retreat easily and hand over the delicious barbecue to the wolf.

Living in such a remote wilderness was very dangerous, and he had made some contingency plans for certain situations.

Using the UMP45 submachine gun in the backpack was the most last resort. Although editing could create the illusion that nothing had happened, Su Rui could deceive others but not himself.

At that time, he seemed to have no choice but to withdraw from the competition early. After all, if it was based on deception, it would be meaningless to continue starving in the wilderness.

I found an open place and picked up some relatively dry branches.

Suri pulled out the tinder that he had been carrying in the side pocket of his overalls, lit it with a flint, and quickly added some twigs.

In order to capture prey, he used a homemade wooden shovel to dig a chest-deep pit, which took a lot of effort.

Suri had carefully observed that the Canadian timber wolves were helpless against the wild boars that fell into the traps because the traps were full of sharp thorns and they had no way to get down and eat the meat.

So without angering the Canadian timber wolves, Suri first fought them, preparing to use the fire to avoid being attacked by the wolves. By the way, he saw if he could use the limited tools at hand and the more common pine resin to make torches.

It was early in the morning and he had plenty of time to slowly kill time with them.

If the wolves chose to evacuate, that would be great. As long as the wild boar was moved back to the camp as soon as possible, Suri would be basically safe with the help of the relatively sturdy triangular wooden house.

And if the wolves chose to continue to fight with him, Su Rui would at most waste some time, and he could still find another way to scare the wolves away.

He waited until the bonfire was burning before trying to blow the bear-driving whistle, thinking that the forest wolf's hearing was more sensitive than his, and it would be uncomfortable to hear such a sharp sound.

While continuing to pay attention to the movements around him, Su Rui also tried to throw burning wood in the direction of the trap to ensure that the wolves would not relax for a moment.

There are actually humans living around the Great Slave Lake, and he hopes that the leader of this wolf pack can be smarter and understand that it is not necessary to make enemies with humans.

The wolf's patience is indeed remarkable.

They stayed in the trap for nearly two hours until the wild boars died from excessive blood loss. Only after being harassed by Su Rui many times did they reluctantly leave.

Suri only saw three wolves in total, and it looked like a young new pack.

Fortunately, there were relatively few of them, otherwise the alpha wolf would be very confident and might try to attack it instead of just standing back and watching.

Regardless, Suri was delighted.

Even the pig liver, pig heart, pig kidney and the like were not spared. After nearly half a day of hard work, they packed up this wild boar weighing less than 200 kilograms and transported it back to the camp, where they could not wait to start grilling it. (End of this chapter)
