Chapter Forty-Eight: The Boar's Trap
In this regard, that old man was obviously prepared,
He replied with a faint smile:
"Well, the second way is to go into the jungle in search of fresh water.
But this method is actually not a small risk.
Because this area is subtropical,
All kinds of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the jungle must be indispensable,
Not to mention some of the larger carnivorous beasts. ”
The old words made Qin Wei's head sweat a little again,
Yes, if you don't have full preparation and equipment to enter this tropical jungle,
It's almost the same as looking for death to rush in.
It's just that if you're out of the beach all the time, you're going to die of thirst sooner or later.
And I want to find such an important job as water,
As the captain of the camp, he can't really be completely ignorant of being a shopkeeper.
Leave it to someone else to do,
Otherwise, the members of these camps would not have been able to obey him!
But without going into the jungle,
It is bound to clash with Gu Xiaole and their camp,
Looking at my own strength in this area, I am afraid that I have not much chance of winning.
Qin Wei thought for a long time,
Finally gritted his teeth and said:
"After breakfast in a while, let's get ready!
In the afternoon, Lao Ma and Lao Chang and I, the three of us went into the jungle to find water!"
Hearing this,
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Lao Chang's mouth on the side, and he said in his heart:
Boy, don't let Lao Tzu find a chance!
Otherwise, I'm going to make you die ugly!
Qin Wei's camp was faced with a dilemma,
In fact, Gu Xiaole's situation is not much better than others.
Although they now have tools in their hands,
Coconuts can be chopped down at any time to replenish fresh water.
But this thing is to drink a donkey to quench your thirst,
According to the consumption of this coconut,
Even if you cut down all the coconut trees on the beach,
I'm afraid it won't last too long.
So they also have to go into the jungle to find water,
Fortunately, Gu Xiaole has rich experience in living in the mountains.
The last time I entered the jungle, I made a lot of marks along the way,
So this time it's a familiar way to go in and get water.
But there's one big problem,
Gu Xiaole is capable alone,
It's just one person,
The amount of water that can be taken away is still limited.
So if you want to get more water this time,
You have to bring a few more people.
The ignorant are fearless, and the little girl Lin Jiao preemptively signed up to enter the jungle,
However, her idea was unanimously opposed by everyone.
The situation in the jungle is complicated,
Gu Xiaole is still unable to protect himself,
Plus such a deadly oil bottle,
The risk factor has increased dramatically.
Absolutely not.
Sister Lin Rui also asked to accompany Gu Xiaole to the jungle,
Gu Xiaole thought about it for a while and agreed.
So the matter was decided,
Lin Rui followed Gu Xiaole into the jungle to get water,
Lin Jiao and Ning Lei were guarding the treasures in their hands in the camp.
They still have some stock in their camp these days.
For example, the uneaten sea fish are dried by them.
And the cured ham that hasn't been touched.
However, these foods are actually not what Gu Xiaole is most worried about.
After all, even if it was stolen by Qin Wei and the people in their camp or eaten by some wild beast,
It doesn't matter,
Because these things can be done again.
What he was most worried about was the boxes of tools that he had painstakingly made from the bottom of the sea.
It's the root of his life,
If these things are gone,
There's nowhere to find it on this desert island.
In order to prevent the people in Qin Wei's camp from grabbing tools while he was away,
Gu Xiaole still hid his mind and hid all the toolboxes in the nearby trees,
Not to mention they're hard to find,
Even if you find it,
Without Gu Xiaole's skills, it is difficult to climb up and take it.
At first glance, there are no worries,
Gu Xiaole left two simple spears for Ning Lei and Lin Jiao to defend themselves,
After Lin Rui said a few words uneasily,
Once again, the two men entered the jungle.
Unlike the last time,
This recalls that Xiaole is not only a toy-like knife like a Swiss Army knife in his hand,
He carried the machete behind his back,
In his hand he carried a spear made of metal and sticks,
Even Lin Rui, who was accompanying him, took a small axe in his hand to defend himself.
After all, Gu Xiaole came in once before,
This time it's a familiar road,
He led Lin Rui all the way to the water source according to the marks he had made along the way.
In fact, it is simple to say,
But because this is a subtropical jungle,
Plants grow extremely lush and fast,
But a day or two of work,
Many of the marks Gu Xiaole had made before were already difficult to recognize.
But fortunately, Gu Xiaole still vaguely remembered the general direction of the water source,
So the two of them won't take too many wrongful paths.
It's just that the difference with Gu Xiaole's light departure is that
This time there is a girl like Lin Rui,
Although she is not as gossip as her sister Lin Jiao,
is not as arrogant as the eldest lady Ning Lei,
But after all, she's also a girl.
Walking this jungle area full of vines and thorny plants,
It's really a little hard for her.
Not long after,
The female officer's uniform on her body was scratched by the thorns on the vines.
Revealing snow-white skin,
Even the skin of the calves and arms has been marked with blood in many places.
"Does it hurt?"
Seeing that Lin Rui just gritted his teeth and didn't say a word,
Gu Xiaole asked a little distressed.
"No, it's okay!
I won't be able to stand this little injury!"
Lin Rui smiled faintly.
"If only I could hold on,
It's almost there,
But when we reached the brook in a while,
Don't go right away,
Don't make a sound, either!
Just follow me closely. ”
Gu Xiaole said again.
"Why is that, Captain?" Lin Rui asked with some confusion.
"The creek is where all the animals in the jungle drink,
Many carnivores tend to lie in ambush and wait for rabbits.
So before we go over, we must first see if there is any danger. ”
In fact, Gu Xiaole still had a layer of worry in his heart and didn't say it,
That is, he offended a hyena leader and an adult female wild boar!
No matter who these two guys are,
If you stay by the stream,
They all drank a pot with Lin Rui.
The last time I was single,
It's easier to escape.
This time with Lin Rui,
I'm afraid it's too late to run,
So you have to be careful.
Almost at the same time,
The men and horses of the other camp also entered the jungle under the leadership of Qin Wei,
Although they don't have anything to take advantage of,
But after all, there are three big men who are overwhelmed,
Qin Wei led Lao Ma Lao Chang to carry a wooden stick the thickness of a fist in his hand,
Knocking through the jungle in search of water.
"Damn, why haven't you found a place to drink water after walking for so long?"
Qin Wei said scoldingly.
"Don't worry, this is a tropical jungle,
Plants can't grow so luxuriantly without water!"
Lao Ma obviously has a wider range of knowledge than Qin Wei.
"Captain Qin,
Do you think there will be any lions and tigers in this jungle?"
Lao Chang asked a little weakly as he followed them.
"Lion, tiger?
I said that you are also the old leader of our company.
Why don't you have any common sense!
Tigers, only found in the forests of Asia,
And lions are only found in the African savannah,
There's no way there's anything that big like this tropical jungle.
So you can rest assured!"
Qin Weiwei said with a grin.
"Oh, that's good, that's good!
Captain Qin, your knowledge is so extensive!"
Lao Chang said resignedly.
The three of them talked and walked all the way,
Coincidentally,
They actually walked to the source of the creek that Gu Xiaole found last time!
"Damn!
I'll just say,
Under my wise leadership,
It's not a trivial matter to find fresh water!"
Qin Wei jumped up directly with joy,
The old horse on the side is also very happy,
Only Lao Chang showed a gloomy expression on his face.
"Quick, quick, quick!
Let's go over and get some water!"
Qin Wei was the first to run over and came to the stream,
He leaned down and took a handful of water, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
"Well, no problem, it's indeed freshwater!
Qin Wei called out to the other two companions,
But while they were shouting with joy,
They didn't find a bush very close to the creek.
Suddenly a pair of eyes with hatred flashed,
It's the female boar who just lost her cubs!
That day, after it drove away the hyenas that came to attack them,
Ignoring the scars on his body, he hurried back immediately.
But his own wounded cub is gone,
There was only one trail of blood left on the side of the stream,
And there's a smell that it's never smelled before.
That's the smell of humanity!
