278 Chance encounters with elephants
(Thanks to my friend An Qilin, stomach injury, yu0421 monthly pass encouragement)
Large boxy plastic buckets, each bucket can hold more than a ton of water. Kipkorui and their relatives have a problem with water, so let's use their usual way to transport it, and today Lao Liu took Masikara to the main altar of the Kalai tribe with water.
The original plan was to find the lions first, and then go to the Kaleis. It's just that when I thought that my daughter would definitely play with the lions for a long time, it would affect the water supply of the Kalai tribe, so the plan was changed.
Compared with those grazing animals, lions, which eat meat, can still last a little longer in times of drought. The most pitiful thing is the little animals that eat grass.
I don't know if it's because I know that I'm going home, and the parents of Little Gray are happy when they fly in the sky. also screamed happily, but Lao Liu listened so ugly. It's about the same as an old hen with her neck choked, quack.
"Masika, I know you're in a hurry, and you have to drive slower, the road is too difficult to walk now. Lao Liu picked up the walkie-talkie and said.
"Boss, sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry. Masika came back.
"Brother Liu, why is the road here so bad, I'm about to get motion sickness. Wang Shasha hugged her snoring and said with a bitter face.
"If it's dry, the road is a little hard. This road is still a road that tourist buses often run, and it has been pressed out of the pit. Stick to it, learn from Miao Miao, you see how happy Miao Miao is. Lao Liu said casually.
Wang Shasha rolled her eyes, can she compare herself with Miao Miao? Miao Miao is playing, and she often has fun happily after setting off. What about myself?
It's upside down, and the key is that there are a lot of high posts, and it's scary to drive up. That heart, up for a while, down for a while.
Lao Liu hasn't come out for a long time, looking at the withered yellow grass on the grassland, he feels very uncomfortable.
He knew that it was because of the effect the mask had on him, and he couldn't see it like this. But this is God is wielding, even if he wants to help, he can't help.
I used to walk by and I could see a lot of animals wandering around the grassland. I was scared by the sound of the car's engine, and I would run happily.
But how long has it been since they came out this time? Not a single decent animal has been seen. Needless to say, it must have been because of the drought here that they moved to other areas.
The most pitiful thing is the grazing animals, which have a greater need for water.
"Daddy, long nose, long nose. ”
After driving for more than half an hour, the little guy pointed to the outside of the car and shouted happily.
Lao Liu looked over, and there were seven or eight elephants walking not far away. Underneath them, there were three baby elephants running back and forth.
It's just that to Lao Liu, this elephant herd is also listless, and there is no life.
"Masika, stop for a moment. When you see these elephants, you have to give them some water to drink. Lao Liu picked up the walkie-talkie again.
"Okay, boss. But the elephant herd ...... , very dangerous. Masika reminded.
"It's okay, I'll drive the car slowly and approach first, and you follow me behind. Liu Wenrui said.
"Give them a ton of water, it should be enough for them to drink. In the past few days, you have been driving to deliver to the Kalai clan every day, although it is a bit hard, but how can you keep the Kalai clan afloat. ”
It can be regarded as reassuring Masika, although he will give the elephant some water, but he will not ignore the Kale tribe.
Wang Shasha, who was still upset just now, is now also in spirit. It's just that there is also a little nervousness, the elephant has a temper, and this car is also a small toy.
As Lao Liu's car approached, the group of elephants also became nervous. The elephants were in a circle, and the baby elephants were in a circle.
Lao Liu grinned, quite vigilant. Is it useful for you to be vigilant? Step on the brakes, open the car door, and let the seedlings go.
The little guy was so happy, and as soon as he got to the ground, he took his little team with him, shouted in his mouth, and his little hands were open, and ran towards the herd.
"Brother Liu......"
"Don't worry, children are more in contact with animals. If the two of us had passed, we would probably have been overwhelmed by the elephants. ”
Knowing that Wang Shasha was worried about Xiao Miaomiao's safety, Lao Liu said casually.
"Long nose, long nose, why do you have such a long nose?" shouted the little guy as he ran.
The elephant herd was also a little stunned, and the largest male elephant shook his nose and barked. This is a warning, don't look at you as a small point, and you can't come again.
Does Miao Miao care? I don't care at all. Even if the calf is very short, this distance is a bit far for her. And this road, it's really not good, the little guy runs as if he has no roots under his feet.
But all this was all right, and the little one ran to the herd with determination and tenacity. He also jumped a little and touched the elephant's trunk.
That's it, and the "acquisition" of the elephants is directly completed. Even her followers are now showing off their might and gathered around Xiao Miaomiao.
The little lion looked at it even more curiously, and he had seen it when he was a child. Mom and Dad have also taught these guys not to provoke, they can't afford to provoke.
The bull elephant also has a little hesitation, and the first point of life on the grassland is not to talk to strangers. As soon as you touch it, you will be knocked down if you don't get it right.
But now that Xiao Miaomiao is touching her nose and legs, she feels so comfortable.
"Brother Liu, it's really, really...... I don't even know what to say. Wang Shasha grinned and said with a wry smile.
"Do you think I know what to say?" Lao Liu also shook his head helplessly.
The African elephant is arguably the largest elephant species and the largest mammal on land. Now Xiao Miaomiao followed the end of the greeting, and the one was about four meters tall. The height of the big ears is higher than the body of Xiao Miaomiao, about one and a half meters.
Xiao Miao Miao stood at the feet of this elephant, and the contrast was too strong.
Lao Liu took a look, walked to the side of the car driven by Masika, took down the bucket, and took a bucket of water.
The purpose of looking for the elephant herd is not to let the girls play with the elephant herd, but to give them water to drink. Now that they have been taken down by the girl, the baby elephants have come out of the encirclement, and they have been studied by the girl with their noses, and they can pass over generously.
The elephants also saw Lao Liu carrying the bucket, but they just looked at him a few more times, and they didn't care about him at all. Now the elephant herd is attracted to the little guy, and they are also studying the little guy. There are a lot of long noses, and they are bumped around on the little one's body.
"I've brought you some water, so you can have a good drink. Lao Liu said after putting the bucket down.
Before the elephants could react, one of the baby elephants ran to the bucket, stuck its little trunk into it, sucked some water and put it in its mouth.
Lao Liu took a look, it seemed to be quite fun.
At this time, a smaller elephant came up and stuck its long trunk into the bucket as well. Then Lao Liu saw this bucket of water and went down more than half of it directly.
I don't know how long this group of elephants has been thirsty, and the bucket is not small, two big, one small and three noses, and the water is at the bottom.
Lao Liu saw that this was not good, bucket by bucket, when was it a head? Ran back and drove the pickup truck directly, and then opened the lid of the bucket of water on it.
Don't look at the height of the body and the height of the barrel, for these elephants, this height is really nothing.
Even if they are still a little afraid of cars, they want to drink water more now. The long nose is inserted and this begins to drink in turns.
Lao Liu also used a bucket to catch water, which was given to the three baby elephants to drink. They're still small, just right to drink with a bucket.
Elephants, worthy of elephants. That big bucket is more than a ton of water, that is, about ten minutes, and it is half smaller.
Their long trunks are a bit useless, and even the largest bull elephant can't reach the water.
"Don't worry, I'll pick you up with a bucket and drink it slowly. Lao Liu walked over and touched its big ears, feeling a little distressed in his heart.
As if he understood Lao Liu's words, the male elephant pulled out his nose and patted Lao Liu's shoulder "gently".
Even if it was a light pat, Comrade Lao Liu was not comfortable, and he was slapped with his teeth cracked. I don't know how many pounds this long nose has, and my shoulders are probably red.
The elephants must have been thirsty for a long time, and with the first round of water, it was somewhat relieved. Now after Lao Liu catches the water with a bucket again, they are very smart to take turns to drink.
Xiao Miao Miao doesn't have that much time to care about how you drink water, and now the little guy is very fascinated by the baby elephants. Pulling their ears, pulling their noses, and trying to crawl on the baby elephants. After just a while, my face was covered with dirt.
After a fierce struggle, Wang Shasha still crept over. After getting to Lao Liu's side, he stretched out his hand and secretly touched the elephant's leg and touched a paw.
In fact, she really worries about herself, these elephants don't take her seriously at all.
"Hehe, it feels very good. After touching Wang Shasha, only silly music remained.
"Silly, generously touched, touching the nose is fun. Lao Liu gave her a blank look.
I feel that Wang Shasha's behavior is too stingy, you see how generous you are.
In fact, the elephant's personality is still very good, as long as he doesn't lose his temper, he is a good comrade. What about a temper tantrum? That's hard to say.
It may be that it is a little laborious to see the little seedlings trying to climb on the body of the baby elephants, and one of the elephants stretches out its trunk and rolls the body of the little one, and then puts it on the body of a baby elephant.
The little guy is what he wants, and he looks so beautiful that he can't do it. Two little hands grasped the ears of the baby elephant, which was also majestic.
Of course, you'll have to ignore the dirt on her body and face. These elephants also often take mud baths to protect their bodies, which are covered in dirt.
