Chapter 367: Reindeer Hunting

After staying next to the hot spring pool for a while, Liu Danqing felt that although there was some warmth on the surface of his body, his body was still weak.

I can't afford to waste my time here.

He stood up and said to Xiao Weiwei: "Weiwei, let's go, let's go to a place with a little yellow-green to see if we can find anything to eat." ”

Looking for something to eat?

Xiao Weiwei naturally had no objection to this, and then got up and walked down.

The turquoise seemed not far away, but it was actually not far, about a kilometer away.

The slopes here are gentle, and the walk is relatively easy.

After walking about two or three hundred meters, the hot spring was completely exposed to the ground, filled with white water vapor.

In this way, this hot spring is exposed to the cold air, and the hot and cold merge and begin to turn into a hot spring.

However, this also brought a new benefit to the two of them, walking along the hot springs, I felt that the temperature had risen a lot.

Liu Danqing felt that his core temperature had begun to recover a little.

This is a good sign, and the recovery of core temperature can make him more powerful and agile.

"Right now, the surface temperature here is about five or six degrees and we feel very comfortable, but we still have to go ahead and look for food. ”

"Before we do it again, we're going to use a flask to fill it with some hot spring water, wow, it's hot, it's hot, it's warm, and when it's cooler, we'll have cold boiled water to drink." ”

The yellow-green color did not grow directly next to the hot spring, but began to appear fifty or sixty meters away from the hot spring, spreading to both sides.

After all, the ground next to the hot springs is too hot for plants to grow.

But as the hot spring continues to flow, you can see that the yellow-green color is gradually approaching it.

"Thanks to this hot spring and the geothermal heat that comes from the volcanic lava, there are some plants growing here. ”

Liu Danqing pointed to the plants under his feet and said: "These green ones are grasses, I can't name them, but there are traces of gnawing on them, and these yellow-green ones are mosses and lichens, which also have traces of being eaten." ”

"This is all good news, because there are animals here, and when the Vikings first came to Iceland, they found that there are countless Icelandic animals on this island, and wherever there is food, they can be seen roaming freely, and we have to look for them. ”

Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei searched along this tundra, hoping to find traces of Icelandic sheep.

After walking for a few meters, Liu Danqing found something, squatted down, pulled up a small cluster of plants from the surface, and displayed and explained.

"I found something good, that's it, see it, it's reindeer moss, we were lucky to find it. ”

Xiao Weiwei leaned over and looked at the moss on Liu Danqing's hand.

"It's a little bit different from other plants, it's white, it looks like little branches, it's called reindeer moss, and it looks like reindeer antlers. ”

Liu Danqing nodded, and took over again: "Yes, it is very similar to the antlers of a reindeer, so it is called reindeer moss, this plant is a kind of moss that I know can be used directly, and there are no side effects." ”

"The Vikings also ate it back then, and even used it as a vegetable for making the sea, but it didn't provide much nutritional value, let alone calories, but it contained all kinds of vitamins. ”

"Moreover, it also has the greatest effect, it can fill our stomachs, wake up our stomachs, so that we do not have to be tortured by hungry stomachs all the time. ”

After speaking, the two began to bury their heads in collecting these reindeer moss, and while collecting, Liu Danqing also said: "We can't eat these now, our intestines and stomach have not been activated for a long time, plus our body lacks water, eating these hay directly may kill us." ”

"SLIGHTLY, LET'S COLLECT A LITTLE MORE, THEN TAKE IT TO THE HOT SPRINGS TO SOAK IN IT, AND THEN EAT THEM, HOHO, FOOD, AND THE KEY THING IS, THESE REINDEER MOSS ARE NOT UNPALATABLE. ”

"Okay. ”

Xiao Weiwei didn't raise her head and agreed.

Stuffing the pockets of his clothes with reindeer moss, and holding a large handful of reindeer moss in his hands, the two returned to the hot spring, and Liu Danqing tested the water temperature with his hands.

"Oh, it's so hot, the water here is so hot, we're going to bring some water to the side and use this hot water at least sixty or seventy degrees to scald our reindeer moss." ”

Remove the stones from a low-lying area next to the hot springs, make a small pit, and then direct the hot spring water in, and a small hot pool is ready.

The two of them put all the reindeer moss in it, filled some hot spring water in a flask, and drank it slowly.

"To be honest, the water is not very tasty, although it is the purest Icelandic glacier water in the world, with hot spring water, but this faint smell of sulfur always reminds me of rotten eggs. ”

After drinking some water, the two of them began to scoop up the reindeer moss in the pool, put it in their mouths and chewed it.

Although it didn't taste very good, for the two who were extremely hungry, being able to eat warm food was already the best enjoyment.

The audience looked at the two people eating grass, and their hearts were finally relaxed.

"Feng Shui takes turns, I think every time you two release poison, my stomach will rebel, haha, you also have today. ”

"Seeing Danqing and Weiwei grazing together, I was relieved, forgive me for not calling you Qing Ye today. ”

"Master Qing, Weiwei, do you need me to mail an earthworm for you to add food?"

"Outside, outside, well-known anchors live broadcast grass. ”

These hot spring reindeer grass were quickly devoured by the two.

Touching her stomach, Xiao Weiwei sighed: "I haven't eaten enough, but the whole person is already much more comfortable, especially the stomach, I finally found something to do for them, and I didn't feel comfortable all day long." ”

Liu Danqing smiled when he heard this: "That's it, let's go, let's go to the edge of the grass, let's take a closer look along the way, can we find Icelandic sheep...... Huh!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Weiwei heard Liu Danqing's exclamation and turned her head to look in the direction of his gaze.

"What is that? a deer? antlers the size, it's a reindeer, right?"

Liu Danqing nodded and replied: "That's the reindeer, I really didn't expect that the Icelandic sheep didn't find it, but the reindeer came one, two, three, four, five, five reindeer." ”

About four or five hundred meters away from them, five reindeer walked slowly, gnawing on the grass and moss on the ground as they walked.

The reindeer are white and gray on their bodies, half of which are white, except for their backs, foreheads, and four feet.

The five reindeer are two large and three small, and they have a stout body and very large antlers, and they look like they are not to be messed with.

"Weiwei, there is nothing to hide here, I walked towards the front left of the reindeer, hoping that these reindeer have not encountered humans, and put the warning area relatively small. ”

"Give me your shoelaces next, and I'll make two slings, and throw them as I get closer, hoping to catch a reindeer. ”

When Xiao Weiwei heard this, she happily untied her two shoelaces and handed them to Liu Danqing.

Liu Danqing tied both ends of the shoelaces with a fist-sized volcanic rock, then folded the shoelaces in half, shook the middle part, and tried the feel.

"yes, it's just the right weight, I'm making one, and I'm going to go and try it. ”

With a sling in one hand, Liu Danqing put his two hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the side of the reindeer herd, looking like I was passing by to make soy sauce.

"Now, I can't look at the reindeer herd so that I don't feel threatened, and I put my hands behind my back to make the reindeer feel like I'm not capable of hurting them. ”

"But now I have a new concern, what if the reindeer come and attack me, this is the tundra, there is not even a tree, they are cavalry, I am infantry, and besides, I don't have a longarm. ”

Liu Danqing walked forward and spoke in a low voice.

Slowly, he and the reindeer herd were already parallel, and if they went further, the two sides would cross over.

Now, the distance between Liu Danqing and the nearest reindeer is only about 20 meters, and the reindeer is a small one, looking at Liu Danqing with his head up, his eyes wide open, stupid and cute.

"One, two, three. ”

Liu Danqing turned around sharply and rushed towards the reindeer.

The reindeer staggered in fright, and tried to turn around and try to escape, while the other reindeer, blinded by their huge antlers, turned around and ran.

"Ha!" Liu Danqing saw the reindeer turn around and ran, and immediately threw out the slings in his right hand, followed by the left hand.

Two slings, one in front of one and one behind, one high and one low, flew towards the reindeer.

Liu Danqing threw it like this, in order to expand the strike area and improve the success rate, if the reindeer jumped, then the higher one would be wrapped around its feet, if it didn't jump, there would be a lower one waiting for it.

The first sling was a tall one, and the stone at one end swirled and smashed against the reindeer's buttocks, followed by another stone that turned around and smashed into the reindeer's belly.

The second slinging was placed on the reindeer's retreat, and the two stones with great inertia were pulled by the rope and twisted to tie the reindeer's two hind legs together.

The reindeer suddenly lost its balance and fell to the tundra.

Liu Danqing took three steps and made two steps, rushed over to a tiger pounce, and took out his Viking knife at the same time as the person was in the air.

Pounced on the reindeer, Liu Danqing held the reindeer's neck with his left hand, held the Viking knife in his right hand, and plunged the knife into the throat of the reindeer, and then pulled it horizontally.

Deer blood gushed out.

The reindeer was in pain and struggled violently, but it was difficult to exert strength when its hind legs were tied, and there was a strong man like Liu Danqing on his body, and he couldn't struggle at all.

As the blood gushed out, the reindeer quickly lost its strength, and within two minutes, it gradually stopped struggling and slowly lost its life.
