Ask carefully, add a gesture and guess...... In the end, through the translation of the water friends, Fang Hong figured out why they were in this mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
They're on an adventure called orienteering.
Orienteering, as a new form of field activity, originated in Europe, and the athlete uses the map and compass to visit the various points indicated on the map, and the winner wins by reaching all the points in the shortest time. More and more people around the world are participating and fanatical. It is not only an outdoor recreation, recreational sport, but also a competitive sport, and has high physical and intellectual requirements for players. In addition to the compass and map, participating in orienteering does not require special equipment, and is a relatively economical sport.
This sport can be simply understood as a purposeful outdoor adventure.
This sport, whether at home or abroad, has been very mature, and there are basically no restrictions on the participation of groups from three years old to eighty years old.
It is popular because there are no space restrictions.
For example, you can locate in a pristine rainforest, from Honduras to El Salvador, in the desert, from Egypt to Libya, in a wetland park, through Yellowstone, or in a normal mountainous area, across a park.
To some extent, Fang Hong's adventure is actually orienteering.
The most challenging part of this sport is probably Ice Dome A to the South Pole, and the least challenging is to cross the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
And the route of these three Russians was to cross the Caucasus.
"There are basically no restrictions on orienteering, but there is also a essence, and the essence of this sport is to take no more than one step, and from the beginning of the planned exercise, you plan the perfect route to get to your destination as quickly as possible."
It's a lot like a cycling challenge.
Not long ago, someone carried out the G318 challenge, using a road car, which took eight days and 12 hours to complete the whole journey from CD Tianfu Square to the Potala Palace.
When taking on this kind of challenge, no one brings any more than one item, even a toothbrush, and you have to use scissors to cut the handle in half to reduce the weight, and the pursuit is speed.
But now the three Russians were stopped, and because of the earthquake, they did not dare to rush through the saddle under the snow roof.
Because it was an orienteering trip, they didn't carry much dry food, no pot stoves, and not even tents.
According to the general situation of this movement, it is normal to go forward without sleeping.
For example, the buddy who challenged G318 a few days ago set off in the early morning of the first day, and when he arrived at the first camping point at the foot of the mountain, it was already two o'clock in the morning the next day, and he set off again after resting for two hours.
Of course, these three Russians are not here to set records, and if they were to set records, even if it was an earthquake, they would not hesitate to rush into the mountains.
Fang Hong is also a husky, he served the mother and son of Big Bear for a day yesterday, and he has to raise idlers today.
Fang Hong took out his bow: "Will you use it?" ”
Maozi is not polite, not to mention other Maozi, how could the Cossacks not use bows?
A Maozi tried his hand with a bow, and then went into the forest.
Fang Hong: "He won't hunt protected animals, right?" ”
After a complicated exchange of communication, the two hairs shook their heads: "No." ”
Nearly thirty minutes later, the hairy man returned with an unknown pheasant-like bird and a fat rabbit.
Fang Hong set up the stove and began to cook.
Rice is saved, for foreigners who eat a lot of food, especially Cossack Maozi, Fang Hong's small pot for cooking is really useless.
"Brother Gun, I finally met the Riding Hunters, let's have a try!"
"And there are no horses." Fang Hong was helpless: "Compared to what." ”
Fang Hong can ride a horse, but in so many adventures, there has never been a chance to show the level of horseback riding, in Fang Hong's hometown, many people use horses to transport sand, etc., which are some horses that can't run, but Fang Hong still learned to ride horses, and later when he was in Germany, he often rode horses for a while.
Of course, compared with the Cossacks and horses, I am afraid that it is far behind.
"It's better than archery!"
Fang Hong thought for a while, and said the game to the three Maozi, and through complicated communication, in the end, he let the other party understand the transliteration of the Shui Youjiao.
The other party is also interested.
In fact, the Cossacks were not so skilled in archery, the standard configuration of the Cossack cavalry was a knife and a grass, and there was a game that could reflect the essence of the steppe peoples of Eurasia, this game was called horseback riding and slashing, not horseback riding and archery.
Because to make a large number of arrows, it takes a very high cost, in the cheapest era of bows and arrows, an arrow is also worth two taels of silver, and before the Ming Dynasty, the cost of an arrow is called a sky-high price, and the riding and shooting in a large number of film and television works are basically fake.
It's not that they look down on the Europeans, a longbowman, squatting in a hidden place, pulling his bow and aiming for a long time before he makes up his mind to shoot an arrow, such a luxury thing as shooting an arrow on a horse is something they won't do, economically, only ancient China had such economic capabilities.
The Cossacks, with the exception of Orions, generally did not shoot arrows, and compound bows were different from ordinary bows.
Fang Hong chose a position and shot at the birch trees at a distance of thirty, fifty and seventy meters, respectively.
At a distance of thirty meters, four people could hit, and at a distance of fifty meters, only Fang Hong and the Cossack who hunted before could hit, and at a distance of seventy meters, all four people could not hit, which was also related to the characteristics of the compound bow.
After a shooting game, the four of them didn't seem to be too enjoyable, and Fang Hong suddenly remembered a game: "Have you ever played Russian roulette?" ”
The three Cossacks were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads: "That's what the army likes to play." ”
Russian roulette, which is to use a revolver, add only one bullet, and take turns to stimulate your temple, once you bet, you will die.
Fang Hong: "I have a very similar archery game called Gambling Arrow. ”
The super tube appeared very quickly, and the words 'This anchor has superpowers, please don't imitate'.
"What is a gambling arrow?"
"Betting on arrows is to stand in a small circle, shoot an arrow directly above the sky, and whoever runs out of the circle last, wins."
The three Cossacks were stunned: "Crazy ......"
Facts have proved that the times have advanced to this day, and the brave people in the real sense are not so brave, even the Maasai have started tourism, and the Cossacks are no longer Cossacks who charge with spears, and the Cossacks in the Russian army also use guns.
Two Cossacks stood to the side, indicating their non-participation.
Fang Hong and the Cossack, who was good at hunting, stood in a circle drawn with branches.
"Are you coming or am I coming?"
The Cossacks thought for a moment: "Here you come." ”
Fang Hong picked up an arrow, raised his bow, and aimed it at the sky: "Are you ready?" ”
“OK。” It's a term that is used all over the world.
Fang Hong very quickly pulled the bowstring, and then excited.
The Cossack, who was accustomed to Mediterranean or European-style archery, was frightened, he didn't expect Fang Hong to be excited so quickly, looked up at the sky, and was stunned.
Fang Hong looked up at the sky, there was no wind, the arrow quickly hit the top, and only a shadow could be vaguely seen.
The Cossacks had good eyesight, and when they saw the arrows falling, they immediately ran out of the circle: "!" ”
Fang Hong watched the arrow fall and didn't move, because the arrow didn't come to the circle at all.
Seeing the arrow landing, Fang Hong was dumbfounded: "Dry!" ”
People always have to do stupid things several times in their lives, such as this time, the arrow fell straight on the string of the pot, and the pot seemed to be fine, but the pot was directly smashed and crooked, and the arrow was scrapped.
Half a pot of meat, sprinkled on the ground.
"Hasty, hasty!" Fang Hong quickly ran to the front of the pot and straightened the pot, so as not to finish the calf with half of the pot left.
Due to the scorching heat of the pot handle, Fang Hong was hotly pinched his earlobe: "Hasty, stupid." ”
The Cossacks who ran away laughed: "Interesting, you won." ”
