Chapter 137: The Old Elephant
In the center of the village, there was a large group of people on the three floors and the outer three floors. The little ass running around with bare butts broke the legs of adults again and again and tried to squeeze them in, but every time they were picked up and thrown out by the adults around them.
In addition to these ignorant children, there are more women who wear the clothes at the bottom of the box, and then put on a variety of different poses. The reason is that a white woman is taking pictures of them with a camera, and the two men who are following behind are also filming with video cameras.
The woman looked around thirty years old, I don't know if it was because of excessive sun exposure, the skin on her body was a little rough, and the clothes on her body were also a little torn and messy, and the two men next to her were not much better, at least from the expressions on their faces to see impatience.
"Oh, God forbid. Don't starve sheep, here you are. ”
An old man who had almost lost all his teeth immediately walked out of the thatched hut on the side when he saw Yang Bu being hungry. This skill is sharp, and it is not much different from young people.
"Respected Patriarch, is there anything that can help you?"
"You also saw that strangers came to the tribe in the morning. The language is not spoken, so you need to ask. ”
In fact, even if the patriarch didn't say that Yang was not hungry, he guessed it. I just looked at it, but I didn't see that the three guys were followed by a local guide.
"I'm willing to help, so I'm going to ask. Maybe just a few lost lambs. ”
At this time, the other party also discovered the existence of Yang Buxing, so he squeezed through the crowd and walked over to this side and said:
"Hello three gentlemen, do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Sovadica ......"
"Missi Mixi......"
Yao Bing: "......"
Zhang Xiaofan: "......"
The woman greeted each other in English, Thai and Japanese, and couldn't help but sigh when she saw that Yang was not hungry and several were in a daze.
"It's too bad luck, these guys don't understand. What the hell is this place? ”
The two men who followed behind were also disappointed after hearing this.
Seeing the embarrassment of the other party, Yang Bu couldn't help but smile and said:
"Don't worry, this young lady. I understand what you say. Just speak English, and you don't have to worry about it. ”
"Ah, you really understand, it's so good that you can finally be saved. My name is Caloline, and behind me are my colleagues David and Restan. We both belong to the Nature Magazine in Country Y, and the damn guide took the money and left us two days ago and ran away, after which the car broke down. We've been walking for a long time to get here, and I'm asking you to help us get back to the capital, Totoma, and I'll pay you when the time comes.
That damn guide is a bastard plus three levels, despicable and shameless......"
The woman, whose name was Caroline, was so mouthful that she scolded the guide for being bloody.
"Stop...... Stop...... Stop for a while, no need to say more, where the car broke down, I can help you go and see. If you really can't squeeze it, it's okay to squeeze it. We're going to go back to Dodoma anyway, and I've got to say you're in luck, we'll be leaving in a few hours. ”
Knowing the ins and outs, Yang Buyu told the patriarch what happened to these three people. The hospitable people had brought food from their huts and placed it in front of Caroline, among them the roasted jackal leg.
It can be seen that these three guys are indeed hungry, and seeing them gobbling up this barbecue, Yang Bu is hungry and wants to ask
Didn't you taste any other weird taste?
I had long wanted to leave, and they were not interested in delving into the diamond mine dozens of kilometers away, and the reason why they stayed in this country for so long was to wait for the annual "ghost market", and the news from the mountain book that this year's ghost market happened to be deep in the grassland on the border with Wganda, and the auction would be a special session for the four generations of water of life. So they planned to send the three of them back to the capital, and by the way, the equipment they bought with Chonekov should have arrived.
After saying goodbye to all the villagers, Yang Buxing drove the group back with the group. There are still about ten days before the opening of the ghost market, so there is still plenty of time. It's only a 30-hour drive from here, so he slows down and takes in the natural scenery of the African savannah along the way.
I have to say that with the addition of the three "cultural people" of Caroline, Yang Buxing, who originally knew little about those animals, gained a lot of knowledge through their explanations.
And Caloline is also a very talkative woman, involving their professional fields, and they are almost catching up with Du Niang in this African savannah.
"Look at the African antelope, next to it are wildebeests. Waiting around for an opportunity were the cheetahs, and the cunning hyenas, which were a deceitful animal, waiting for the cheetahs to catch food and then snatch it from their mouths with a numerical advantage......"
Karolyn took the trouble to explain the habits of each animal she encountered. During this period, they will ask to stop the car from time to time to take pictures, but they are far away from disturbing this natural order.
"Look at that elephant!"
Suddenly, David behind him suddenly shouted, and following the direction he pointed, he did see a lonely African elephant slowly walking into the woods.
"Isn't it just an elephant, what's strange? More these days, I have seen a lot. ”
Yao Bing, who was a little sleepy just now, was woken up, muttering a hint of dissatisfaction in his mouth.
"It's different, it's an elephant and not a herd that looks old. It is important to know that African elephants are social animals and have their own family like humans. So this trait is destined that they will not appear as separate entities. Unless the elephant is going to die of old age. ”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and even her body trembled slightly.
"Even if what you say is true, what is there to make a fuss about that elephant that is going to die of old age, do you still want to pick up the corpse and saw the ivory. ”
Zhang Xiaofan was weak and went back. In fact, it was not only him, but the other two did not think that the fast old elephant that disappeared at the end of the field of vision had anything to be excited about.
"Oh my God, now I know what it means to be uneducated. I don't know if you've heard about Xiangling?"
"Elephant mausoleum? Do elephants have mausoleums? Sounds quite tall. ”
Zhang Xiaofan straightened up from the passenger seat, obviously this topic was very much to his appetite.
"Legend has it that elephants have the ability to predict death. And in this vast grassland there is a huge elephant mausoleum. (It's not the author's fabrication, Xiangling really exists in reality.) Someone did find it, and a large number of ivory was found, but the specific location of the discoverer was reluctant to reveal the exact location for fear of causing a war due to the death of the huge profits. )
Whenever the old elephant knew that his life was short, he would leave the herd alone on a sunrise morning and embark on the road to the elephant tomb, and then die there quietly.
But for so many years, the mysterious elephant tomb has never been discovered. On the one hand, elephants have a long lifespan, which is not
Every old and dead elephant is touched by people.
In addition, elephants are very sensitive to perception, and the routes are also in the deep mountains and old forests, so no one has found the elephant tomb so far. ”
Speaking of which, Yang Buxing already knew what Ka Luolin wanted to do. She is a reporter for Nature magazine, and if she were to find the legendary Elephant Mausoleum, even if it was just a few photos, it would be big news that would cause a sensation in the world.
"Big reporter, you have to go yourself, pull us aside. ”
Without waiting for Ka Luolin to speak, Yang Bu was not hungry and refused first. Just kidding, it would be nice to take them back to Dodoma, and do you want to let yourself follow them to find some elephant mausoleum, and hold on to it when you are full?
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, we can pay. Maybe you don't know how strong our magazine is. It is a subsidiary of a well-known listed company, and it is also ranked among the top three in the world magazine industry.
100,000 US dollars, as long as you go with me, whether you can find Xiangling or not, I will pay this fee. ”
Ka Luolin planned to tempt with money, but Yang was not hungry and still looked unmoved. In fact, it's not their people who have her eye on them, but the jeep under her ass. With this car, you can save a lot of physical energy.
"Add another 50,000, $150,000. Please, I need the three of you to join. Xiangling, if you really find it, it will be a world-class discovery. Don't you want to be witnesses to this great discovery? ”
For these, Yang was not hungry but still shook his head with a smile, and Zhang Xiaofan and Lapoglio didn't bother to deal with it. Just open the car door and get out of the car, stretch and pee. From a distance, the old elephant had long since disappeared into the dense woods.
"Huh...... You see, the elephant is gone, and there is nothing to be found. Forget it, there are too many unknown dangers in the grassland, just the supply is a problem, do you really want to rely on the dozen catties of cassava in the back of the car to find Xiangling. ”
For survival in the wild, who knows better than Yang Bu Hungry and a few of them, with three oil bottles to wander around in this dangerous African grassland, I am afraid that I don't know how I died in the end.
Seeing that the three of Ka Luolin in the back were also dead, Yang was not hungry and got out of the car to release the water, after all, he had been holding it for four or five hours.
At this moment, Carolyn in the back seat made a look with her colleagues, only to see David slowly take out a pistol from his backpack. Then Restan quickly got into the driver's seat in front of him, and then quickly locked the door and started the ignition.
Yang Buying, who was half peeing, knew what was going on when he heard the car start suddenly. I blamed myself for being careless, I didn't expect those three guys to dare to do this.
But he didn't panic in his heart, because at this time, Zhang Xiaofan beside him had already chased after him, and it was no problem to snatch the car before the car accelerated at his speed. But he didn't expect that the other party was still carrying a gun.
Bang bang......
The sudden two gunshots made him quickly look in the direction of the car's escape, only to see Zhang Xiaofan crawling out of the half-human-high pile of weeds, and the damn woman deliberately put her head out of the car window and demonstratively raised her middle finger behind her.
"Damn, this woman is so scheming. She really shouldn't be a journalist, to be an actress to ensure that she can win an Oscar.
Fuck they didn't plan to take us with them from the beginning, but they fell in love with our car. Knowing that she would not agree if she was not hungry, she deliberately used money to negotiate and increase her bargaining chips. Don't let me catch her, or I'll have to kill her!"
Laporio jumped to his feet in anger, while Yang was not hungry but sneered helplessly. I didn't expect that there would really be a day when I was pecked blind by geese......
