Chapter 42 Building a House Before Sleeping
The shadow rod method of the unicorn was really accurate, and we found the way we came and returned to the lake.
When the fat brother saw the two of us returning with a full load of rabbits, he shouted from afar: "Oh, you two have taken out the rabbit nest?" I see, he sharpened that stick to poke the rabbit's nest. ”
I also shouted at the fat brother: "You layman, don't be foolish, okay?" Still poking the rabbit's nest, I don't know the three holes of the cunning rabbit? I stabbed it here and ran away. It's okay to ask us professionals for advice. A proud smile spread across his face.
The fat brother said angrily to Yan Qiu beside him: "See, I'll say that this kid has no heart and no lungs, and he has long forgotten the favor he owes to the two of them." ”
Yan Qiu also sang and harmonized with the fat brother, and muttered in his mouth: "It's not strict to forget about human affection, I guess I forgot other things, what is my name, looking at this form, he can't remember it." ”
It seems that when I went out hunting, they didn't say bad things about me behind my back, and for the sake of my bumper harvest, they didn't bother with them.
The big harvest I'm talking about, it's not a big harvest of catching rabbits, I'm proud of the thing in my pocket, the first time to do such a secret thing, I actually succeeded in danger, I thought about hurrying to the evening, check it well, and see what does his scarf have to do with the corpse below, is it hiding an ulterior secret?
But in this heavy snow, if you step on your feet, half of your legs will be gone, and where to sleep at night is really a strict problem. I casually asked the unicorn: "It's a matter for us to sleep at night, where do we sleep in the snow?" ”
The unicorn said casually: "Sleeping in the snow." ”
Before I could ask, Su Rina, who heard his answer, asked first: "What did you say?" Sleeping in the snow? We're not you, sleeping in the snow all night, and we can't kill people? ”
The unicorn said to Su Rina with a charming smile: "Sister Hong, don't you still believe me? You are my guest, and if you want my life, you can't hurt a single hair, don't worry. ”
Since the unicorn said so, we have nothing to worry about, so everyone should taste the roast rabbit meat with peace of mind.
All four rabbits were roasted, we ate two, and we had two left for dinner. Needless to say, Jiang Li's barbecue skills are simply the best in the world.
The fat brother was eager to try, he had to take another one, and everyone shared it, and he said: "Eating too much at night is not good for your health, eating three at noon and one at night is the most reasonable meal." ”
Except for Jiang Li, everyone unanimously objected, and in the end, the fat brother had to dispel this idea in the disdain of everyone.
As soon as we finished lunch, the unicorn covered the bonfire we built with snow, not casually, but very seriously, and cleaned up the traces around.
When we were done, Unicorn said to us, "We have to go east." ”
We didn't know what a unicorn meant, so I asked as a representative, "Where are we going to go east?" ”
Actually, I don't want to go too far, Jiang Li obviously has an important discovery, I just want to find a chance to talk to Jiang Li alone, if there is something, we will find a way to slip away, if there is no matter, we will find an excuse to turn back. Further east, it only adds to our journey and has no practical meaning.
The unicorn replied, "Aren't we going to sleep at night?" Just now, when we were catching rabbits, I observed that the snow in the east is thicker than on this lake, and it is suitable for the night. ”
I was afraid that I didn't hear clearly, so I asked the unicorn again: "You mean that the snow is thick over there, so it's easy to stay overnight?" ”
The unicorn replied crisply, nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Although I have lived in a daze for so many years, I still understand the basic common sense, and the snow thickness is suitable for overnight stays, and this kind of anti/human logic, I have heard it for the first time.
Without waiting for me to ask again, Jiang Li spoke: "Oh, people are experts, can there be any mistakes?" If you want to go east, you will go east, which are so many problems. With that, he walked forward with his bag on his back.
The unicorn also smiled and said: "It's still this little sister who can see the form more clearly, follow a few of you laymen, and let the wind blow down the mountain at night." ”
I can see Jiang Li's ghostly eyes, she agreed to go east, definitely not because she trusts the ability of the unicorn more, mainly because she has her own purpose, maybe Jiang Li's next goal is in the east, she is reminding us with her actions.
I shook my head and said to Yan Qiu beside me with a smile: "Okay, everyone is a big deal, let's go along." ”
As a result, the hot face was attached to Yan Qiu's cold buttocks, Yan Qiu glared at me, and didn't talk to me, he must have been thinking about the awkward things that happened to me before.
I had no choice but to go east with everyone.
I walked a long way to the east, because there was white everywhere, and there was no reference, so I couldn't tell how far I went, and it was farther than we caught rabbits, anyway, the unicorn thought the location was appropriate, so he stopped.
After stopping, the unicorn explained to us the theory that the snow thickness was suitable for the night, because we were going to sleep in a snow cave at night, and we dug it ourselves.
"At night, it's not as quiet as it is during the day, and there will definitely be a snowstorm on the top of the mountain," said the unicorn. If you spend the night outside, you will either freeze to death or let the snow bury, and even if you don't freeze to death, you will have to let the wind blow down the mountain and fall to your death. After saying that, he made a demonstration, using his wooden stick to beat rabbits, dug a small single room in the snow, and set aside a special piece in it, similar to a single bed, rectangular, which looked quite pleasant.
After that, we learned how to look like a single horn, and began to dig our own nests, and also decorated them according to our different hobbies.
According to the specifications of the first hole, the single horn dug the second one and gave him Sister Hong to sleep on.
Sure enough, he took good care of himself, and if he was kind to others, maybe one day good news would come, and the unicorn is so considerate now, it is estimated that when he is caught back by Su Rina, he will not be too guilty, and maybe he can wear Little Red Riding Hood with a good attitude of confession.
The fastest and best one is Yan Qiu, because her tools are better, and she came with Luoyang shovels, it seems that it is really the right decision, we only hate to bring too few tools.
The fat brother may eat salty at noon, grabbing snow while digging and stuffing it into his mouth, the snow here is very pure, not even a little Saturn is touched, and he eats it directly, just like drinking water.
The fat brother grabbed it and said: "This snow also has the benefits of snow, you don't need running water, and you can quench your thirst everywhere." ”
But when the fat brother grabbed the second time, he was slapped off by a one-horned slap.
The fat brother was startled, and a little anxious, so he asked the unicorn: "Is there something wrong with you?" What are you doing with me. ”
The unicorn said to the fat brother: "I won't beat you, you will be the one who has a problem in a few hours." ”
We don't understand the meaning of the unicorn, is there still poison in this snow? I asked the unicorn, "What's wrong?" Can't eat snow yet? What do you say? ”
The unicorn said: "It seems that you are really a layman, you are not small, you dare to run here, if you don't meet me, you will definitely die halfway." ”
I thought to myself, if I hadn't met you, I would have gone back with Uncle Garu a long time ago, and now I'm lying on my own bed, playing with Yanqiu. But he didn't say it, and asked why he couldn't eat snow.
The unicorn explained to us: "You don't look at this snow, and it's good to eat, but the temperature is extremely cold, you feel okay now, your mouth will be hot and sore after a while, and after a while, your mouth will be full of big blisters, frostbite understand?" The blisters burst, and then the wind is seen, tetanus. We who lack medical treatment and medicine, let's die. ”
Hearing him say this, it was really strict, and we immediately took it seriously.
The fat brother asked, "Then what if you are thirsty?" ”
The unicorn said, "Don't you have a lunch box?" Scoop up a lunch box of snow and boil it over the fire to drink. ”
The fat brother said dissatisfiedly: "Why didn't you say it earlier, there is no firewood now, and it is snowing again, how can you make a fire?" You can't die of thirst? ”
The unicorn smiled and said, "Can a living person suffocate urine?" You're not going to put it in your belly? ”
This was a good idea, so we quickly got a box of snow and put it in our arms, and waited for the snow to turn into water before quenching our thirst. Even if the lunch box was thick, it could feel cold, so we quickly found out the clothes in the bag that could be worn together, and wrapped them all around our bodies, also to prepare for the cold at night.
When the hole was dug up, the horn went into his nest again, sealed the hole with snow from the inside, and showed it to us. After the seal is sealed, it is completely impossible to see that there is a hole here, and it is the same as before it was dug, which not only solves the problem of sleeping at night, but also can make a bunker, and will not be discovered lightly.
While the unicorn plugged himself in the hole and hadn't dug it out yet, I hurried to communicate with Jiang Li. I asked, "Is there a new direction?" To the east? ”
Jiang Li nodded, and didn't say much because of the urgency of time.
I took the opportunity to remind everyone: "There is something wrong with this unicorn, and I will not be able to explain it for a while. ”
The fat brother asked, "What's the problem?" It's just an upside-down animal, huh? ”
I shook my head, borrowed Lao Li's words, and replied simply: "Evil." ”
Before everyone could continue to ask questions, the unicorn had already emerged from his snow hole.
