23. Dig wells

Sissi drove him back and invited him to dinner.

Yang Shubao felt that it was too early and said that he would run by himself later.

When Sissi left and went to the tree of life with the medicine and knives he had bought, Nate climbed up the tree with the rock python, and several small marmosets grinned at it.

Jealousy makes the monkeys unrecognizable: the old poplar does not allow them to go up the tree.

Yang Shubao beckoned, the rock python did not move, Nate whistled, and the rock python slowly climbed down.

Knife to the python, this work is a bit hard, Yang Shubao bent his legs and knees to the python, ready to run if he is not good.

As a result, the python was very honest, and after the sharp blade cut into its skin, it was obviously in pain, but it only flicked its tail and twitched twice, and did not show aggressive intent.

But Nate was still not satisfied, he stretched out his finger and shook it in front of the python, and muttered a few words, and the python lowered its tail and did not move.

Play dead.

The process of hydrogen peroxide disinfection and sterilization is very enjoyable, and the white foam is like an open beer bubbling out.

Yang Shubao stuffed the anthelmintic medicine and antibiotics into the mouth of the rock python again, and he also bought a lot of eggs, and also stuffed them into the rock python one by one: the well-fed python may be the most honest of all animals.

He was very worried about this python, he couldn't keep this snake, this thing was too edible, but if he didn't keep it, it was estimated that a few little monkeys would be unlucky when the rock python was hungry.

He cleaned up the rock python, and Nate whistled that the python climbed the tree again.

Nate grinned, "I let it guard the tree and guard the fountain of life, and no one can steal the fountain of life with it." ”

Yang Shubao nodded, it seems that the rock python is a bit useful.

Next he took the goblin brothers to dig a well, but he wouldn't check the veins of water and didn't know where there was water under the land.

The goblin brothers were more knowledgeable about this, and Nate said, "Let's go and see where the grass grows the most luxuriantly, and there must be more water in that place than in other places." ”

It was a good idea, and Yang Shubao braved the scorching sun to walk around the territory, and there were several small ponds scattered scattered on the grassland, all of which had accumulated rainwater because of the rainy season, and these places must have had abundant water, but they were too far away from where he lived.

In the end, he found a meadow that seemed more suitable.

Nate and Danny didn't even use a shovel, they dug it with their hands, which was the racial talent of the Earth Elves.

The two of them had just pulled out some pigeon grass and weeds, and then a gray-skinned mouse came out from underneath, and it moved very quickly, and Danny struck faster, pinching the skin of its neck and lifting it up.

The rat seemed to have been pointed, and suddenly it didn't move.

This is a prairie mouse, which is very common in the African savannah, and rock pythons like to catch and eat this thing when they are young.

Danny grabbed it but didn't want to make food for the rock python, but stroked it lovingly: "Ha, what a beautiful mouse, city lord, should we raise it?"

"Raise it to make food for your rock python?"

Danny threw it out, "Good luck, little girl, I hope you get away from it, because here are your predators." ”

As they dug down, a rat hole appeared, this is the burrow of the steppe rats, the passage leads in all directions, this underground is probably a small city-state, because this kind of rat is in groups, seeing a rat A hole means that there are thousands of rats hidden underground.

So that they could not dig wells, the ground was hollowed out by rats, and digging wells was prone to collapse.

However, they didn't fill in the hole they had dug, and Lao Yang was going to wait for the rock python to come over for a buffet when it was hungry.

They had to find a place again, and Nate asked, "Why don't you go and dig a well next to Mother Tree of Life, whose roots can absorb the bad things in the water and release the fountain of life into the water." ”

"And what's going on?"

"That's right. The two goblins nodded together.

"Isn't that earlier, but is there still water in the ground over there?"

Yang Shubao was worried that the groundwater near the Tree of Life was being drawn by it, and it turned out that he was too worried, this is the swamp wetland of St. Lucia, and the groundwater is very abundant, especially now that it is still the rainy season, and the goblins dig less than half a meter deep to see the water.

Professional drilling, half a meter of water.

Eventually, the well was dug to a depth of one meter, and at this depth, the water seeped out of the soil very quickly, and it was easy to drown the two goblins if they dug it any further. And the roots of the tree at this depth are starting to increase, and too many roots cannot be exposed.

They had just finished digging the well, and the sky was overcast.

Yang Shubao ran into the house quickly, and the huge raindrops fell, knocking on the color steel tile house and making a crackling sound, like a drum.

The golden lion-faced tamarin family appeared in front of him climbing the iron steps, they would go to the tree of life to take shelter from the rain a few days ago, and now there is a rock python coiled on the tree, and they dare not go again.

Uncle Yang opened the door and let them in to shelter from the rain, the golden lion-faced tamarins were very active, and they were not sensible at all, they went into the house and did not think about Lao Yang's good, and they jumped around in it without a moment of peace.

No, Uncle Yang gave them a big banana, and the marmosets gnawed around the banana, and finally quieted down for a while.

Under the heavy rain, it was impossible to see the figure within ten meters.

The rain fell to the ground like no money, and soon blistered.

Lao Yang sat in front of the window and opened a book, "The Law of Life", which was written by Sean J., an academician of the American Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a popular science writer. B. Carroll's work, a passage on the title page appeals to him:

All life forms are stable. This state of stability ensures that the living body remains intact when it is subjected to a huge external impact, and does not face the fate of being damaged, dismembered, or even destroyed.

That's a good thing to say, Carol is a master. Old Yang nodded, and then he turned back, and there was a note on the next page: the title page was from Charles Richet.

"!"

It was pouring rain outside, Yang Shubao was slowly flipping through the book in front of the window, and there was a bottle of Coke beside him, he felt that he could take a sip when he was thirsty, he felt that this kind of life was very beautiful.

Even better, when the rain stopped, a rainbow appeared in the western sky.

Lao Yang climbed on the roof and pinched his waist with both hands to look at the rainbow, and at this moment the rainbow was very clear, as if it was in front of him, within reach.

Of course, this is just an illusion, but South Africa deserves the reputation of the rainbow country, the rainbow on the grassland here is different from what he sees in the city, the rainbow is closer and clearer, and the colors are more vivid, this is the bridge of angels.

It had just rained, and the evening was cooler than usual, so he grabbed a bottle of wine he had just bought and went to the snack bar.

When Mason saw him, he stretched out his fist and smacked him in the chest: "Well done man, Sissi told me about your heroics, and all I can say is that you did a good job, and your chest muscles are well trained." ”

Yang Shubao shrugged and said: "It's just three children, but they didn't touch you at the scene, otherwise I bet that as long as you rush up and make a move with them, they will have to kneel on the ground and kowtow to you, begging you not to die." ”

"Of course - shit!" said Mason, smugly for a second before scolding.

As a joke, Mason poured him a glass of ice wine and told him to wait, and he had to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Hall came with his broken Land Rover after work, and when he saw Yang Shubao, he asked with concern, "Ron, those three idiots didn't provoke you, did they?"

Yang Shubao shrugged and said: "No, in fact, they are just the king of mouth cannons, let them try it, their mothers who can fight me can't recognize it." ”

Hall said: "I believe you, your fists are really powerful, but ......"

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Yang Shubao nodded and said, "Just say it." ”

"Ron and the three of them are nothing, but there's a guy behind them who has a lot of energy, Kevin Biglinson, who is the director of the wetland park and the boss behind the local gangster Iron Beasts," Hall said. ”

Mason, who came out with the dishes, heard it and said, "Don't worry, Kevin won't give Ron their head because of such a trivial matter, we have dealt with him, this is a real ruthless character." ”
