Chapter 172 The Emu Strikes

While Daniel and the others were jubilant about buying the Carter Mine, on the other side, there were four people who were jubilant.

Xiao Peng and the others caught up with the Jesse sisters, but unlike Daniel imagined, the four did not argue, but parked the car on the side of the road and chatted happily.

Xiao Peng said to Jesse and Andre, "How about it? Your mine is now sold for a good price, right? You have this money, you can do whatever you want." ”

Andre was puzzled and asked, "Xiao, I don't understand, why do you want to go back?

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "You don't understand this, do you? In the future, when they find out that they have bought an empty mining area, they will regret it even more when they think of rejecting my 5 million yuan today, and they will be even more angry, and the more unhappy they are, the happier I will be! Let them be greedy, four people, each of them can earn more than 400,000 yuan at once, but they are not satisfied! Let them be greedy! Think about how they regret and suffer in the future, then my goal will be achieved. ”

Yang Meng made a conclusion about Xiao Peng's approach with two words on the side: "Cheap!"

Jesse sneered.

"Did you thank Jin?" Xiao Peng asked.

Jesse nodded: "I took advantage of people's inattention and left her two hundred thousand Australian dollars." She has been very good to me in the town all these years, and now that I have left, I am really reluctant to give her up. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "What are your plans now?"

Jesse said, "Andre and I have discussed it. Play around and settle in Melbourne. ”

Xiao Peng asked: "Why do you want to go to Melbourne?"

Jesse said: "Melbourne is the 'fashion capital' of Australia, and I decided that I still want to mix the fashion scene. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Hey, you're a millionaire now, do you still want to participate in that modeling competition?"

The model contest here refers to the Australian supermodel contest that Jesse originally participated in, which is a very popular TV show in Australia, a TV show that imitates the national supermodel contest, allowing a group of new face models to compete, and a reality show that locks a group of new models together for training and competition.

The reason why everyone likes to watch this show is that on the one hand, they like to watch beautiful women, and on the other hand, they like to watch the contestants tear each other, and such reality shows are all to fully satisfy the voyeuristic desires of ordinary people. Especially after a top supermodel like Miranda Kerr became famous in the world, countless Australian teenage girls hope that they will become the next top supermodel.

So the show is very popular in Australia, but in terms of heart, the championship prize money is really a bit overwhelming: the Australian edition of the fashion magazine "Harper's Bazaar" has eight pages of close-up photos, including a cover photo, a $25,000 print advertising contract for Levi's jeans, and a contract with a local Australian modeling agency, plus $20,000 in cash and a Ford Fiesta.

Well, such a championship prize is about the same as the talent show prize of China's provincial TV stations, maybe not as high as China'。。。。。 But you can't blame Australia for being stingy, in a country with a population of only 25 million, how much do you expect from TV shows?

But then again, Jesse isn't short of that money right now, so he shouldn't be thinking about such a bonus.

Jesse shook his head: "I'm not for any prize money, I just want my dad to see it, and I'm sure he can see it." ”

Xiao Peng nodded, he could understand Jesse's approach: "Then where did you decide to play?"

"Hey, we're going to play with you, we're going to have hot pot!" said Jesse.

Xiao Peng smiled: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go! Let's go on the road, let's go to Lightning Ridge first!"

The group of two cars returned to New South Wales, where the climate is much better and wetter than in South Australia. I can see the forest river again.

At this time, Xiao Peng and others had a picnic in the Meningdi Lake area. Xiao Peng, Jesse and Andre were eating barbecue, and Yang Meng ran into the woods and didn't know what he was doing. Xiao Peng just wanted Jesse to find Yang Meng back, but saw Yang Meng trotting back with a happy face: "Dude, see what I found? I picked up on the ground over there, and there are quite a few in that nest." ”

Xiao Peng fixed his eyes and saw that Yang Meng was holding a few dark green eggs in his hands, one was the size of a fist, and that head was really not small. One will weigh more than a pound.

"This egg is big, it must be delicious to eat. Yang Mengle said.

After Xiao Peng and the others saw the bird egg in Yang Meng's hand, they shouted in unison: "Stop!"

Yang Meng was stunned in place, looking at the three of them: "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Peng said: "That, Mengzi, I suggest you send this egg back." ”

Yang Meng was stunned: "Is there a problem with this egg?"

"Ugh. All eggs are non-toxic. Xiao Peng replied.

"What's not poisonous to be afraid of?, is this thing delicious?" Yang Meng asked again.

"It's delicious. Jesse replied. "I've eaten quite a bit, but it's all farmed eggs, not wild eggs found in the wild. ”

"Don't lie to me, I know it's not that big, it's not that color. Yang Meng said. "This wild one is definitely better. ”

Xiao Peng said: "This is indeed a bird's egg, but 。。。。。。 Big brother, don't you think it's surprising to see this size?"

Yang Meng looked at the egg in his hand: "This is a big goose egg? It seems to be bigger, ostrich eggs? Don't lie to me, there are no ostriches in Australia." Ostriches are African, and ostrich eggs are not like that. ”

Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "Brother, look behind you." ”

Yang Meng turned his head when he heard this, and his eyes widened: "Damn, what is this?" I saw a big bird in the grass not far behind him, which looked very similar to an ostrich, but with smaller wings and not as tall as an ostrich. But it also has to be two meters tall and has gray feathers on its body. The neck and claws are black, the mouth is black, and the eyes are blood-red.

Xiao Peng teased: "Mengzi, let you steal the eggs, you brought the mother egg! ”

"What the hell is this? And this ostriche? How do you know if this is Mother Egg and not Daddy?" Yang Meng held the egg and stared at the big bird.

Xiao Peng explained: "Brother, it is true that there are no ostriches in Australia, but there are similar things. It is called the emus, the second largest bird in the world, and one of the symbolic animals of Australia, and the kangaroo and emu are on the national coat of arms. As for this thing, it's the male's incubating egg, and the female's watching. You're getting yourself in trouble, brother, and fix it yourself. After Xiao Peng finished speaking, he waved his hand to Jesse and the two: "Keep eating, by the way, watch the excitement!"

Jesse listened to Xiao Peng's words and was a little puzzled: "Xiao, is this good? The emu is a very dangerous animal." ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "I know this, if the fierce son can't even deal with a bird, then it's called a joke." ”

In Australia, except for cute creatures like koalas, there are almost no animals that are not ferocious, and even koalas have wild times。。。。。。

This emu, Australians love and hate it. There was also a dedicated emu war. In the late thirties of the twentieth century, Australian residents complained about the lack of fresh water and food due to the large number of emus in the area, so the Australian army went to war like emus!

At that time, the Australian troops were issued a total of two machine guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and the soldiers charged at the emus with machine guns, and fired at the emus. But the speed of the emu is not covered, can run to a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour, this week, the emu did not kill a few, and the Australian army's ammunition is almost exhausted, when the Australian commander was shocked, ordered the whole army to retreat, so the Australian army lost to the emu。。。。。。

And the Australian evaluation of the emu is that there are no rules for this bird. It never does things according to the rules. Together with the fire-birds, they form a terrifying duo among Australian birds. One of Australia's two most ferocious birds!

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Peng's voice fell, the emu rushed towards Yang! The speed was absolutely fast, and the fastest speed of the emu could reach 50 kilometers per hour! And the fastest human Bolt, his fastest speed was less than 40 kilometers per hour.

Yang Meng watched the emu rush towards him, and quickly stabilized, staring at the emu's beak, the emu's long pointed beak looked very lethal.

Xiao Peng took a bite of the barbecue, and shouted indistinctly: "Brother, that bird's beak is the last thing you have to worry about." ”

"Huh?" Yang Meng was stunned for a moment, and still didn't understand what it meant. With such a flash of lightning, the emu had already rushed in front of it, only to see the emu suddenly jump up and attack Yang Meng with two big paws! Yang Meng realized that the emu's claws were only three toes, but they had these sharp nails, like daggers!

This is the most powerful weapon of the emu, they can rely on these feet to open the belly of the animal, tearing their opponents to pieces! Even the barbed wire of the farm can tear them apart! Every year, many people are injured under the terrifying toes of the emu, and some people are even directly poked in the eyeball! It is because of this that the emu is known as the most terrifying bird in Australia. If you get kicked in the toe, that's the big problem! Now there are many emu farms in Australia, selling emu meat, hair, and eggs. In comparison, the farmed emus are quite easy to get along with, but the wild emus are more troublesome and very aggressive!

After the big emu's sudden change of moves, Yang Meng reacted in a timely manner and retreated quickly, but although Yang Meng reacted fast enough, he still didn't completely dodge the emu's attack, only heard a squeak, and the emu grabbed Xiao Peng's pants and directly tore Yang Meng's pants from top to bottom. Fortunately, it didn't hurt him just by pulling his pants!

This also made Yang Meng angry, jumped high, and swept his foot flat on the emu's head, and the big emu lay directly on the ground and did not move.

Xiao Peng snapped and applauded: "The last move is good, if it weren't for the torn pants, I would give you full marks for the action!

Yang Meng didn't answer yet, but Andre said on the side: "It's okay if it's injured, I'll check it in a while." ”

Everyone looked at Andrei speechlessly. Andre looked indifferent: "Last time, someone was faster than me, otherwise I would definitely grab a handful." ”

Andre said what Yang Meng's little brother scratched last time, and now Yang Meng still hurts when he thinks about it, and after listening to Andre's words, he feels cold in his crotch again: "That。。。。。。 Then you guys talk first, I'll go change my pants。。。。。。 ”
