514. Into the wilderness
There is no village in front of him, no shop in the back, the left is the wasteland and the right is the barren forest, and the top of his head is covered with mud on the rainy ground, Yang Shubao feels that he has encountered a desperate situation, and there are no dead ends in the front and back, left and right.
He was full of grief and indignation and wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, but when he raised his face and opened his mouth, the rain poured in.
This disgusted Lao Yang, so he quickly shut his mouth honestly.
The driver got out of the car to lift the front cover to check the problem, but when he lifted the cover, there was water vapor rising in the rain, and he said happily: "The machine is fine, but there is no water in the water tank." ”
The truck they drove was an old-fashioned military truck, and Yang Shubao couldn't tell what brand it was, but Kekra said that it was a treasure he had picked up from the army, with a high chassis and durable machines, which were most suitable for running in the wasteland.
This kind of old-fashioned car has few instruments, which leads to the fact that the water tank is dry, and the driver does not find a problem.
But this is a minor problem, it is better than a broken machine, and when the tank is dry, you just need to fill the tank with some water.
The problem came, Yang Shubao prepared gasoline, diesel oil, wine and meat, but he did not prepare water, because there is no shortage of water on the grassland, they brought a simple water purifier, as long as there is a water source, there is clean water to quote.
At that time, Lao Yang was still complacent when he made this preparation, it was better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, he felt that he had prepared fishing nets, so that as long as there was sea, he would not be hungry, which belonged to far-sightedness.
As a result, people are not as good as the sky, and they just went out and encountered that the car ran out of water, and they forgot to prepare water for the car.
Benson shouted through the window, "I have a bottle of mineral water here, do you want it?"
Yang Shubao roared: "What's the use of your bottle of mineral water for a truck?"
"Is it okay to use rainwater?"
The rainwater on the grassland is so clear that it is fine for trucks, but they don't have the tools to catch water, so they have a plastic bucket that can't get a lot of water.
Yang Shubao sighed and said, "Let's go to shelter from the rain first, and then find a way when the rain stops." ”
He went back to the car and opened the map to study it, and found that there was a river not far away, this river was called the Ender River, which was a tributary that eventually joined the Mogaraquina River.
It's easy to have a river, and they just wait for the rain to get water.
The rain didn't last long, just like the rainy season, it came and went quickly, and Yang Shubao stopped raining after a moment in the car.
Seeing this, he took out his compass to determine the direction, and carried the bucket with Benson to fetch water.
To find the river had to go through a large patch of woods, and Benson saw that the muddy forest had a numb scalp, and he sprayed himself with insect repellent and then took out his pistol before entering.
Yang Shubao said: "As for this exaggeration?"
"It's called caution," Benson said, "because there are often wild bees and tsetse flies in the woods, and whatever it is, you have to stay away from them, and if you get stung it, it's not pleasant." ”
There was grass and fallen leaves in the forest, and it was really hard for the two of them to walk one foot deep and one foot shallow.
From time to time, you can come across a green monkey or lemur in the tree, and these monkeys probably see people for the first time, and they squat on the tree and stare at them curiously, and do not come down to look for trouble.
Stumbling out of the woods, the sound of the river flowing reached their ears.
It had just rained heavily, and the water was moving faster than ever, washing away some mud along the shore, and it looked dangerous.
Yang Shubao stood on the bank of the river and looked at it, the river here was too muddy for cars, he looked upstream again, and found that the water upstream was relatively clear, so he went up.
Just after walking a few steps, Benson suddenly said, "Be careful, there's someone in front!"
Yang Shubao was surprised: "How can there be people in this place?"
He hid behind a tree and looked carefully at the river, and after a while a mandrill came out of the river to drink.
Seeing this, Yang Shubao smiled bitterly: "Don't be too nervous, it's just a mandrill, there is no danger." ”
The wilderness river is never without danger, this mandrill left after drinking water, it was indeed not dangerous, but when they were fetching water, they stepped on a piece of dirt, and then a dense number of leeches appeared!
I don't know how many leeches burrowed in the dirt, and when they were suddenly exposed to the air and sunlight, they panicked and immediately twisted their bodies and drilled into the dirt.
Benson's knees softened on the spot: "Hurry, retreat, leech, this is a leech!"
Yang Shubao said: "I saw it, it's okay, we're wearing shoes, they can't get in." ”
But Benson didn't go to the river anyway, saying he had been afraid of these fluffy little things since he was a child.
Yang Shubao went to fetch a bucket of water and carefully checked that there were leeches in the water.
It was not a place to stay long, so he filled the water and returned the way Benson had come.
The water was filled into the tank, and the truck roared again.
It was a small episode, and the car restarted and continued on the road, and after driving on the dirt road for more than two hours, their vision suddenly widened.
The forest brought to this point, and all that was left was a large grassland, and Yang Shubao returned to his home field.
The grasslands have turned yellow-green, and the weeds have grown high and low, but the car has been driving for a while without seeing any animals.
Benson also noticed this, he shook his head and said: "There are too many animals being hunted now, and there are no large mammals in such a good grassland, and the country should really protect environmental protection animals." ”
Yang Shubao said: "It should be a migration, strictly speaking, it is the dry season of this grassland, and the animals will go to find places with more abundant water and grass, which is different from our Great St. Lucia wetland." Wait another two or three months, and they won't be back until September or October. ”
The road conditions were not good, and the car could not drive fast, so they chatted while enjoying the grassland scenery, which was quite charming.
Yang Shubao operated the steering wheel with one hand and put the other on the window to watch the scenery outside, his eyesight was much better than Benson, so when a black man appeared on the grassland, he found it earlier than Benson.
The black man, like the tribesmen on television, had only a hide around his waist, and he carried a short gun in his hand, and then ran at a constant speed on the grassland.
The car sped away, and Yang Shubao saw a frightened gazelle that accelerated and fled.
It seemed that the black man had been chasing the gazelle, and the gazelle was frightened and burst out of its extreme strength, and its speed quickly increased and disappeared into a sparse forest.
The black man stopped in disappointment and gasped, he stared unwillingly in the direction where the gazelle had disappeared for a moment, and then looked back at the car driving next to him in frustration.
Yang Shubao was embarrassed and said, "We did something stupid. ”
Benson didn't care: "Don't say stupid things, boss, don't say stupid things, he can catch up with an antelope if it weren't for us?"
Kurutantan's voice sounded over the intercom: "Normally, he can't catch up with the gazelle, but it rained in this area not long ago, and I see that the grassland is very muddy, maybe he thinks that the muddy road hinders the gazelle from speeding up and can shorten the distance between him and the gazelle." ”
"As long as they can shorten the distance to twenty and thirty meters, then he should be able to stab the gazelle with his spear, and there are many warriors in our tribe who hunt antelopes in this way. ”
