Chapter 750: Creating a Trap
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sharon took a deep breath. Now was not the time to consider the outcome. She tried her best to focus her attention on the process of setting up the trap to catch the pheasant. Now, she could only do her best and leave it to fate.
The night got even darker. The cries of wild chickens rang out from time to time in the forest, and everyone’s nerves were tense.
Sharon tightened the mechanism frame and stuck it on the trigger. The general outline of the trap had been completed, and Sharon heaved a sigh of relief.
Sharon picked up some scattered short branches on the ground and laid them on the trigger. This way, she could increase the area of the trigger. In the end, she would tie the end of the hemp rope to the trigger and lay it flat on the trigger. This way, when the prey stepped on the trigger, it would directly become Sharon and the others’ dinner tonight.
“The mechanism is ready,” Sharon said to her teammates. “Next, we’ll wait for it to walk into the trap.”
“We can’t just catch pheasants with traps,” Dan said. “We have to have bait.”
Dan had grown up in the countryside with his grandparents when he was young. He had gone up the mountain with his grandfather and knew a little about it.
“I remember that when I was young, my grandfather always brought some rice or corn when he caught wild animals,” Dan continued.
“But where are we going to find these in the wilderness?” Melinda asked worriedly.
“Or we can find some grass seeds,” Sharon said.
“But what kind of grass seeds do pheasants eat?” Shane asked.
“Even if we know which grass seeds the pheasant eats, will there be such grass seeds nearby?” Dan continued.
Sharon fell into deep thought. The trap had been set, and finding the bait was another problem.
“We scatter food to lure the pheasants to the trap.” Sharon frowned. “Is there any other way to attract the pheasants over other than food?”
Everyone was frowning as they tried to think of a solution.
Melissa sighed impatiently and said, “The pheasant keeps chirping. It’s so close to us, but we can’t even catch it.”
“Can you shut up?” Melinda was furious when she heard her crack wise.
“That’s right,” Sharon suddenly said excitedly. “We can imitate the pheasant’s cry and attract it.”
“That’s right,” Dan said excitedly. “When I was young, I heard pheasants cry. My grandfather told me that it was a male pheasant attracting a female pheasant.”
Sharon was delighted. Foraging and courting are the nature and instincts of animals. Why did I not think of how pheasants crowed and courted?
“Hey, Dan, don’t you know how to imitate? It’s time for you to show your specialty.” Melinda looked at Dan expectantly.
Everyone was in the entertainment industry. For actors, observation and imitation were essential skills.
Dan said self-awarely, “I’m definitely not as professional as you.”
“Everyone probably doesn’t have much experience. It should be your first time imitating a pheasant’s cry,” Shane said with a smile.
As they were talking, the crisp cry of a pheasant came from not far away.
“Can’t we just learn and use it now?” Sharon smiled.
“Then I’ll give everyone a taste first,” Shane said and imitated the pheasant’s cry.
Sharon and Melinda looked at each other and smiled. Not to mention that he was quite good at imitating.
Dan also imitated Shane. After a while, he bent over from laughing. After he recovered, the two of them’s cries echoed in the forest.
Dan and Shane became playful. They fought like children to see whose cry was more similar. The two of them shouted a few times each. Occasionally, they would smile and look at each other.
At this moment, the comments in the live-stream were filled with comments again. Other than the comments that were filled with “Hahahahahaha”, there was also a discussion about which one of Dan and Shane had learned how to cry more like a pheasant.
[Oh my god, my stomach hurts from laughing.]
[I take back the comments about Shane’s bad acting skills. He’s quite good at mimicking the pheasant.]
[My idol can actually hold back his laughter even in such a situation.]
Sharon and Melinda also imitated them from time to time, but the two girls weren’t as good as the two boys, so they decided to leave this glorious and difficult task to Dan and Shane.
As for Melissa, Sharon felt that it would be a blessing if she didn’t cause trouble.
Sharon looked at the two boys who were mimicking the pheasant’s cries and Melinda, who couldn’t help but laugh at the side, and suddenly felt a little touched. Along the way, everyone had gone from unfamiliar to familiar, and their tacit understanding was getting better. Although this journey wasn’t perfect, it was also very beautiful..
