Chapter 30: The Art of the One-Horn
The one-horned trick drilled wood to make fire, which aroused all kinds of worship from everyone, and even Su Rina almost forgot that they were opposites.
I smiled and said, "It seems that you have studied survival in the wild to the extreme, and even used the trick of drilling wood for fire." ”
The unicorn didn't care, he smiled and said, "You are rare and strange, in fact, there are many ways to make fire in the wild, it depends on the surrounding environment." If you can't find wood as hard as fruit branches, it's not easy to drill wood for fire. I have to think of other ways, such as finding natural flint and steel. ”
The fat brother asked, "Who did you learn from all this?" There won't be college students or graduate students in the hunter industry, right? ”
Yan Qiu smiled and said, "It's also a postdoc." ”
The fat brother nodded, and said very seriously: "Yes, yes, the unicorn is now at the postdoctoral level." ”
"Since that incident, I've wanted to find the one-horned white horse to make sure what I said wasn't made up," the one-horned man recalled. I found an old hunter as an apprentice, the old hunter is a lonely man, no children, no wife, I contract all the work in his house, live with him, he hunts and I do the body work, and slowly learn a lot of skills. ”
Jiang Li said: "That's called an apprentice, I know this, I worked as an apprentice in a shampoo shop. ”
Yan Qiu expressed surprise and asked, "You still learn to wash your hair?" What are you doing with that? ”
Jiang Li replied: "The main thing is not to learn to wash your hair, but to eat and live, and it is not easy for me to come along the way." ”
Everyone smiled and nodded.
Jiang Li said again: "Isn't he and the old hunter just like me doing an apprenticeship, cleaning, running errands and buying groceries." It's just that in my spare time, I look at the master's methods, and I rely on my own comprehension ability. ”
The fat brother said: "That's different, people look at the real ability, you see that it's just the skin." ”
Jiang Li retorted to the fat brother: "You can't say that, interlacing is like a mountain, for us, his skills of survival in the wild are real skills, but for you, those hair washing techniques I saw are also real skills." ”
The fat brother laughed, and then said to Jiang Li: "What you look at is the fur, the real skills in the shampooing room, how to use expressions to make guests happy to enter the back room with you." ”
"The back room? What are you doing in the back room? Why use emoticons? Jiang Li asked with a confused look in his eyes.
Everyone understood what the fat brother meant, he was talking about the indecent service in the shampoo room. We were all laughing and accusing each other of being impure to anyone who could understand.
didn't wait for the fat brother to explain to Jiang Li in detail, but was slapped on the arm by Su Rina, Su Rina smiled and complained to the fat brother: "Can you be a little human?" The little girl has taught you badly. ”
The fat brother also had the cheekiness to argue with Su Rina: "Chromophobia, you don't need to teach this thing, you will be able to do it sooner or later, how can you blame me?" ”
I interrupted their bickering and said to the unicorn, "Go on, what about later?" You've learned all the techniques and you're gone?"
The unicorn continued: "How can that be? The principle of being a teacher for one day and a father for life is not only understood by people in your country. Later, when the old man was older, I took on the task of hunting, and when I encountered something I didn't understand, I asked him for advice. I also got to know a lot of peers with him, and if they needed help, they would pay to hire him, and later they hired me. ”
I interrupted the unicorn and asked, "My peers are enemies, why do I still hire you?" Hunting, who has the ability to fight, do you need to hire it? It's not rural work, and you have to hire people to help when the farm is busy. ”
The unicorn answered my question, and he smiled and said, "Didn't the little sister say it?" Interlacing is like separating mountains, you don't understand this. You also need help with hunting, mainly to help with stepping on plates. ”
I hurriedly asked him to be specific.
"For example, there was a wave of hunters who found tiger tracks in the mountains, like hairs hanging on the grass, or footprints or something. Because tigers are beasts of prey, they will look for them in this forest casually, and there will definitely be a possibility of accidents, so they need to hire people. If they find me, I go into the forest alone, and according to the tracks left by the tiger, I look for the tiger's nest, detect the range of movement, record the time of foraging, etc. Based on the information I provided, they then made a plan and went hunting. ”
Yan Qiu said: "Isn't that just sending you to death?" To put it bluntly, it is for you to be bait, they fish. ”
Unicorn nodded: "You can also say that, but this line also requires excellent skills, if you don't have that ability, you will be eaten by a beast the first time, and there will never be a next time." Therefore, the longer the hunter survives, the more people will come to the door, and the old man's skills are first-class, so there are more people to hire him. ”
I understood, and said to Yan Qiu: "This is what I told you, three shovels of drawing a truth." The person who does the work is not necessarily the most skilled, and it is necessary to hire an expert to locate before working. ”
Su Rina was more concerned about the evidence, so she asked the unicorn: "Then isn't it good for you to follow the old hunter?" Why did you switch to animal trafficking/selling again? ”
Unicorn sighed and said, "At first, my purpose was very simple, I just wanted to meet the unicorn again one day and catch it." Later, after working in this industry for a long time, the unicorn business gradually became less important, and I still hope to give my old mother a better life with my own skills. Later, he started his current business, and the development is very smooth, and now he is the number one person in the industry. ”
"Then you don't want to think about it, isn't it a bit unmeritorious to catch one less rare bird and beast?" I tried to convince the unicorn.
In fact, to put it bluntly, persuading a person is indeed to have a good impression of this person, and I hope he is good in my heart, otherwise what is Fei Na spitting for? My impression of the unicorn has been good from beginning to end, if my persuasion can make him realize and repent, maybe he can add points to Su Rina, and when everyone turns their faces after going out, it won't be too ugly, or I don't want the unicorn to be sentenced too much.
I was not very satisfied with the one-horned answer, he said: "I just catch those animals, I don't hurt them, I don't give them a place to live, I don't kill them and sell meat in the market." The person who buys it back will definitely cherish and care for it, and will not let such a precious bird or beast die. And there are good payouts, so why not? ”
I argued with him, "Freedom is more important than life, and if I put you in a cage and give you something to eat and drink, would you be willing?" Doesn't if you catch an animal, you sentence the animal to death? ”
The unicorn didn't speak again.
The fat brother continued: "Well, Zhan Xiao is right, there is no killing without trading." ”
I was stealing fun on the side, and the fat brother even popped up with advertising slogans, and it seems that he, like me, also hopes to persuade the unicorn.
Su Rina was more concerned about the details of the unicorn, she pulled the topic back and asked the unicorn: "The old man who taught you is your boss?" Did you take over his shift? ”
Unicorn shook his head and said, "No, the boss is myself, the old man actually doesn't agree with me doing this, he is the kind of person who hunts only for three meals a day." ”
I asked, "Is your master alive?" ”
Dujiao nodded and said: "He may have been a Chinese veteran who participated in World War II, separated from the army, took refuge here, became a hunter, I have seen his photos and military merit medals when he was a soldier, and I learned Chinese from him." Later, when I had money, I sent him back to my hometown, in Anhui Province in your country, there are no relatives in my hometown, and now I am supporting him, and the old man is unwilling to see me because I do this, so I haven't visited him for several years, but the money is sent every month. ”
In fact, to put it in detail, this one-horn can be regarded as having a conscience, and the old mother and master are arranged very properly, and he can be regarded as a filial and benevolent person. From the perspective of dealing with people, he is also a very good person, with a good heart and a kind attitude. The only thing is that I choose the wrong line, and I am afraid that my future fate will become bumpy.
As we spoke, our water boiled, and each of us had a bowl of soup in our lunch box, drifting shredded wild vegetables and mushrooms, sprinkled with salty salt to taste. A few men's lunch boxes are relatively pitiful, the dry goods are basically in the girls' lunch boxes, and even the fat brother who has always loved to eat is very gentlemanly with us, and the clear soup is poured into the belly.
I wonder how long we have to stay in this mountain? If you have to eat this all in the next few days, then everyone will have to collapse, and the snow-capped mountains above, I'm afraid I can't even eat grass, I don't dare to think about it, anyway, if I can't hold on, I'll turn back, I can't joke with everyone's lives.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of burning wood from the campfire, and there was the sound of burning wood in the campfire, which was actually normal, but this sound was very loud, and the big one was like a forest fire, which was a bit strange.
The others also sensed something unusual and stared at the campfire.
Within a few seconds, the rock wall against which the bonfire was leaning actually exploded and burned. The stone wall turned into a wall of fire in an instant, much to everyone's surprise.
