The sudden scream frightened Sakaki Makoto and Conan.
Sakaki Makoto's scalp tightened, and he stood in front of Mao Li Ran and the other person. His right hand quickly reached back, and he drew the gun, aimed, and turned on the safety in one go.
The black shadow stood on its two legs, staring blankly at the three people. The big ears on its head moved, as if it was also frightened.
"call..."
Sakaki breathed a sigh of relief, his tense arms slowly relaxed, his fingers removed from the trigger, and he put the MK23 back on his waist:
"Don't be afraid, it's a gray rabbit."
Logically, he shouldn't be so nervous.
Because according to the sound coming from the bushes just now, the other party was not big and the distance was far. Even if it was a snake, it could not fly more than 5 meters.
He drew his gun reflexively, because he was scared by Mao Lilan...
The scream was like the sound of a devil, which made people tremble all over and feel cold on their backs.
Fortunately, he and Conan are both in good health and do not have heart disease, otherwise they would be in great danger in this wilderness...
"By the way..."
Sakaki Makoto turned around and looked at Mao Lilan who was hugging Conan tightly and didn't dare to raise her head, and said in surprise:
"Ms. Maori, don't you know karate?"
"I heard that you are the champion of some karate tournament..."
Conan's mouth twitched.
He is the one who knows Xiaolan's courage best.
Don't be fooled by her explosive strength, but in fact...
Afraid of ghosts, snakes, and all scary things.
She is afraid of everything a girl should be afraid of.
And once you enter a state of fear, you will be so nervous that you can't even move your body.
Just like just now...
"Hey, hey..."
When Mao Lilan saw that it was a gray rabbit with big red eyes, she realized that she had just lost her composure.
Then, after hearing Sakaki Makoto's extremely confused tone, he lowered his head in embarrassment:
"I...I was lucky..."
“This rabbit is so cute!”
She wanted to change the subject.
Sakaki Makoto took a quick step forward, grabbed the rabbit's two big ears, and lifted it up.
Patting the gray rabbit's belly like an old hunter, he nodded with satisfaction:
"It's fat and strong, weighing about 7 or 8 kilograms, sprinkled with cumin, chili and fennel, and roasted on the fire..."
"It smells so good..."
"Huh?"
Mao Lilan was stunned and couldn't help but said:
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto..."
"Are you going to eat it?!"
Glancing at Mao Li Ran, Sakaki Makoto sighed inwardly.
It is cruel to kill a rabbit in front of such a pure-minded girl.
"Forget it, I don't eat game."
Smacking his lips, Sakaki Makoto put the gray rabbit on the ground.
The gray rabbit, unaware that it had been on the verge of death, jumped into the bushes after regaining its freedom.
"Ms. Maori, let me see the map."
Sakaki Makoto said.
Now that the crisis has been averted, the next step is to find the correct way to get to the villa.
He didn't want to spend the night in the mountains.
There are no rabbits to eat...
After getting the map, Sakaki looked at the direction mark on the map, then looked up at the sky...
"The direction is correct. We should still be walking for a while."
He has already determined the direction.
"Sakaki Makoto... Big Brother, don't you use a watch to measure direction?"
Conan asked in surprise.
He really didn't understand how Sakaki Makoto could determine the direction just by looking up at the sky.
"It's....3 o'clock in the afternoon in winter."
Sakaki Makoto said calmly:
"Today is January 24, which is exactly between the winter solstice 26.5° and the spring equinox 50°, so the sun's orbit is about 38° east of south - 38° west of south."
"In winter, it usually gets dark around 5:00 and rises around 7:00, so according to the principle that things rise in the east and set in the west, the sun should be 54° west now."
"By establishing a three-dimensional coordinate system in my mind, I can know the directions of east and west."
As Conan stared in amazement, Sakaki pointed to the ferns and mosses growing wildly on the hillside, as well as the dark and damp land, and said:
"From a geographical point of view, the land that receives less sunlight is generally on the northern slopes."
"Looking at the trees, the leaves are lush on the sunny side, while moss may grow on the opposite side."
"From this I can roughly infer the north-south direction."
Pushing his sunglasses, Sakaki Makoto smiled and said:
"Do you have any questions now?"
“No…no more…”
Conan swallowed and shook his head.
Even in difficult situations, he still wanted to show off his knowledge.
He used the watch direction-finding method: at the top of the hour, he pointed the hour hand of the watch at the sun, with the minute hand pointing to 12 at an angle of 90°. The direction with an angle of 45° was south.
Similarly, 90° to the left is east. In this way, the four directions of east, west, south and north can be clearly known.
But he didn't expect...
Sakaki Makoto doesn't play by the rules at all.
In other words, Sakaki Makoto was very clear about the direction from beginning to end and never got lost.
He just didn't know the exact location of the villa.
“Amazing!”
Mao Lilan looked at Sakaki Makoto with admiration:
"Mr. Sakaki knows so much!"
"This is just the most basic direction-finding method."
Sakaki Makoto shrugged.
"If it's rainy, it won't work."
"Like now."
Before he finished his words, a dark cloud floated over from the distant horizon. It was so thick and dense that there was no doubt that it was going to rain.
