Chapter 41: The Hunt for Two

The goggles that Dujiao and Surina prepared before going up the mountain are pale yellow lenses, which not only block the wind, but also seem to be very effective in preventing snow blindness.

Yan Qiu and I put on the woolen hats of the unicorn and Su Rina respectively, and put down the side of the hat to cover the eyes, although it was a little obstructive, but it still did not affect the movement.

Su Rina contributed her scarf to Jiang Li, who blindfolded her eyes with a single layer of red scarf and tied it behind her head, resembling the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Only the fat brother didn't land, he took out a shirt from his bag, and with a reluctant expression, he was ready to tear it up and use it as a shading.

I thought to myself that this unicorn is also weird and stingy, a scarf is in his pocket, but he doesn't take it out for the fat brother, I see that his scarf is in his trouser pocket, revealing a cloth head. I asked the unicorn with one more mouthful: "What about the scarf you covered before?" Take it out and give it to the fat brother, it's just enough. ”

The horn replied, "Oh, you said that scarf, which was tied to the head before, and then lost it when he fought with the mercenaries." ”

I saw him with his scarf in his pocket, so why did he lie? I immediately realized that there was something wrong with this scarf, and he must not be able to take it out and show it.

With your clever words and seamless words, I finally inadvertently saw the flaw. It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this one-horn, he must be hiding something and refusing to say it, I want to find a suitable opportunity to completely expose him.

Everyone wandered around the lake for a long time, because of my repeated blockades, no one went down to the lake to find clues, and judging from Jiang Li's previous attitude, she found something, so I was not in a hurry.

The wooden stick of the one-horned horn was also sharpened, and I urged him to hurry up and hunt a few rabbits, saying that he was afraid of delaying lunch, but in fact I wanted to confirm his true ability, and that if he could not get his prey, then his identity would be debatable.

We first went around to the other side of the lake, across the bank from the mouth of the cellar where we had come up, so that we would not be caught off guard if anyone came up, and then the others found a piece of hard ground, swept away the snow on it, and got some firewood to make a bonfire.

Unicorn lit a campfire with silver paper from chewing gum and batteries, and then asked us to wait here while he went to hunt rabbits.

In order to spy on him and see if there were any flaws in the process, I took the initiative to ask Ying, gave the unicorn a hand, and said that I wanted to learn two tricks from him to see how to beat the rabbit with a wooden stick.

The unicorn looked around, determined a direction, and headed for the thick snow.

I don't know if he chose this direction at random, or if it was a hunter's professional observation, anyway, if it was a real one-horn, it would definitely not go home empty-handed.

After walking a few hundred meters away, we turned back and could no longer see anyone else, and we finally found the traces left by the rabbit when it walked. Even I, a layman, can see that the rabbit is on the ground with its buttocks, and every three or four meters, there is a small collapse in the snow, which must be the traces left by the rabbit's jumping, unlike other animals, which leave paw prints.

Following the marks on the snow, Unihorn and I followed the direction of the rabbit all the way, and it didn't take long to find the prey.

At first, I didn't see it, but in the vast snow, there was a white rabbit squatting, and I covered my eyes with a string hat, and Ken didn't see any rabbits.

But the unicorn has particularly sensitive vision and may also include the sense of smell. As I walked forward, he grabbed me on the back and motioned for me to stop.

I knew that Unihorn had spotted the rabbit, so I quickly squatted with him on the waist, and then looked up and looked ahead. Sure enough, there was a big white hare, squatting twenty meters away from us, looking for grass buried under the snow in the snow, looking very busy, not noticing the danger coming.

The unicorn stood up slightly, and slashed the wooden stick in his hand sideways, apparently preparing for action.

I still don't know what the trick of his stick is to fall to the bottom, and I can't watch him do it again.

I didn't expect me to overestimate the unicorn, how could he have so many strange tricks, the trick of catching rabbits with wooden sticks simply disappointed me, it turned out to be simple and rude, just throw it out and beat hard.

The single horn threw the stick out, because the two ends were heavy, so the stick quickly turned sideways in the air, only to hear the bang, the short stick hit the rabbit's head at a very fast speed, and the rabbit turned over directly and fell there.

Don't look at the simple moves, but the technology is real, the one-horned assistant uses a slingshot to shoot pheasants, which is at least a homemade weapon of long-range destruction. The one-horned stick is different, the angle, direction, and strength of throwing the stick out must be tempered, and how can there be a second-level wind on the top of this mountain, and the influence of the wind direction must be taken into account.

The unicorn doesn't even need to calculate at all, completely relying on his own feelings and experience, he hit the rabbit with one blow, knocking the rabbit down on the spot, and hitting the head, I'm afraid that the hit on the body will not be successful, at most it will scare the rabbit away. In terms of this technique, it is definitely no less than a trained sniper.

The rabbit fell there, not bleeding, probably knocked unconscious by this blow, and the unicorn was afraid that the rabbit would reflect and run away, and at the same time as the wooden stick was about to hit the rabbit, the unicorn had already gotten up to run, ready to run over and catch the prey as fast as possible.

This also shows that Dujiao is completely confident in his skills, indicating that he has not been proficient in this for a day or two, and it is estimated that he has already been proficient.

The technique of one-horned hunting has now been confirmed, and it seems that he is really the one-horned himself, not a disguise. That is to say, he is just hiding something, and although he doesn't know what it is, it must have something to do with the scarf.

I was quick with my eyes, and at the moment when the unicorn got up and ran forward, I grabbed the cloth head that was exposed from his pocket behind him, and with the strength of his running forward, I pulled the scarf out of his pocket, and endured the violent heartbeat, and put it into my own pocket.

It's just the two of us here, if he finds out that I am making small moves, in case I really hide some big secret, at least it is related to the life below, he will definitely kill me here, and when I go back, I just cry and say that I fell off the cliff and died without proof. So I took a great risk in this move, but fortunately, the unicorn didn't notice it.

The one-horned rabbit ear, smiling, proudly held it up to me in the distance.

Naturally, I ran over overjoyed, and used all kinds of rhetorical devices to show my admiration for him.

I said to the unicorn, "Since you are so sure, it's still early anyway, let's shoot a few more, and even have enough for dinner." ”

So we used the same method, and beat three more rabbits, plus the previous one, a total of three white and one gray, bigger than the domestic rabbit, but not so fat, I think it tastes great.

The problem is that we have gone deep into the snow field to catch rabbits, and when we look back, there are all messy footprints, and we are running around, and we can't remember the direction of going back for a long time. Originally, we were heading east in the direction of the sun, but now that the sun had risen overhead, we couldn't tell which side was west.

I anxiously said to Unicorn, "What can I do?" Why are the two of them running crazy, and if they can't find it, it's over. ”

Unicorn smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my way, just wait and see." ”

Does he still have the ability to discern direction? There was white snow all around, and there was no reference to use, and I really didn't believe him.

The one horn stuck his wooden stick for beating rabbits straight into the snow, and when the sun shone like this, there was a shadow of a wooden stick on the ground, and the one horn made a hole in the top of the shadow, and then sat down and rested.

I asked the unicorn, "What do you mean by that?" Can't you find it too? How about sitting here and trying to figure it out? ”

The unicorn said, "Don't worry, wait for a hundred or eight points, and then see." ”

I clutched the rabbit's ears tightly in my hand, and after about ten minutes of waiting, the shadow of the wooden stick moved.

The horn was on top of the new shadow of the stick, and poked another hole with his hand. Then he connected the two holes, drew a straight line, pointed in the direction of the first hole, and said, "That side is west."

Today I can be regarded as opening my eyes, I can actually use the shadow of a wooden stick to discern the direction, I carefully studied the principle of his method, and I understood it when I thought about it, it is actually very simple.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and as the sun moves, the shadow of the wooden stick is moving from west to east, and any fixed point on the shadow, the line between the front and back, must be due west to east, and the vertex is the least likely to be marked wrong, and it is also the longest moving distance, and the straight line drawn is accurate and obvious.

I smiled and gave a thumbs up to the unicorn and said to him, "I'm really not convinced, I'm a teacher, and your skills are not said with your mouth." ”

Dujiao also said modestly: "This is not my invention, it was all learned from my predecessors, this method has a name, it is called the shadow rod method." ”

With such a kind one-horn, I really can't see any malice on his part, it seems that we will have to wait and see how things develop, I pressed my hand into my pocket, which was bulging with his scarf.
