Chapter 187: Return Again
Liu Danqing wrapped the python meat in leaves, stuffed it into a T-shirt backpack, and squeezed it with the baked potatoes.
Fortunately, they had already eaten some baked potatoes at noon and freed up a lot of space, otherwise, this little python really didn't know how to carry it.
After Xiao Weiwei watched Angry Birds for a while and exchanged a few words with the audience, Liu Danqing had to open her mouth to urge Xiao Weiwei to leave.
"Weiwei, let's go, this bird is very common in the United States, we can see it next time, we must now take advantage of the dawn, find a campsite, and find a water source. ”
"We're still going to build a simple shelter, because the temperature difference between day and night is so great that it's going to be hard to survive without a shelter to protect us and light a fire. ”
Xiao Weiwei reluctantly put away her phone, pouted, and said, "Then let's go, find a place to go." ”
The two continued to the north for a while, finding a depression halfway up the mountain, where they were going to build shelter.
In addition to the fact that it is easier to build a shelter in the depression, it is also because there is a small stream sixty or seventy meters below this place, and the gurgling water flows down the mountain in the distance and flows all the way south through here.
After choosing a place, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei were ready to start their first job, looking for fuel.
Stretched out of the jungle, firewood is naturally not lacking, Liu Danqing took the mountain knife, cut down some small trees, and did not let go of dead trees, Xiao Weiwei specialized in dead trees and dead branches.
Soon, the fire was lit and the grill was set up, Liu Danqing asked Xiao Weiwei to put the cold potatoes one by one by the fire to heat them, and he took the aluminum basin to fetch water and clean the python meat by the way.
While cleaning, Liu Danqing said: "Everyone may be a little strange why we camp halfway up the mountain instead of camping by the stream. ”
"In fact, it is also to guard against the Burmese python here, and the creek is a favorite feeding ground for the Burmese python, and at night, it will wander here in search of amphibians, various reptiles and small mammals to hunt. ”
"We built the camp higher, plus we have a fire, so that the Burmese pythons won't come to disturb us, don't look at the last time we hunted the Burmese pythons seemed to be easy, but if it's at night, it's hard to say, when we can't see it, we basically have no chance of winning. ”
"Audience friends, don't think that pythons are just like this because we successfully hunted the big python, and in Louisiana, there have been many incidents of death by python attacks. ”
Dinner was roasted snake meat, Liu Danqing first crushed the black pepper with a stone, spread it on the sliced snake meat with salt, and marinated it for a while to let it taste like it.
While they waited, they set up the shelter and set up a grill again to roast the marinated snake meat on it.
With enough firewood ready, the two sat around the fire eating baked potatoes and waiting for the snake meat to be cooked.
Now, whether it is Liu Danqing, Xiao Weiwei, or the audience, they are not very interested in eating a "little snake" of more than two meters.
So dinner time has rarely become a singing time, and according to the audience's request, the two of them sing a song from time to time while chatting.
After a calm night, the two went to the creek to freshen up, and then ate some of the snake meat left over from yesterday for breakfast.
These snake meat are deliberately left behind because it doesn't matter if you eat a little less for dinner, but skipping breakfast will have a big impact on the state of the whole day.
Extinguishing the fire, Liu Danqing led the way again, and said as he walked: "Today we still continue to hurry, but it is definitely not as committed as yesterday, because we have no food reserves now, we can not eat at noon, but if we don't eat all day, it will affect our physical state in the future, we don't know how long it will take to return to the human world, and we don't know if there is still a black water swamp waiting for us in front, so maintaining a good physical condition is a job we must do well." ”
Starting from about six o'clock in the morning, the two of them walked until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and finally they saw the traces of human beings, huge traces.
A large river nearly 100 meters wide stretched in front of them.
Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei stood on the riverbank, looking at this huge but regular long river, they were very shocked.
Liu Danqing said with a sigh: "This should be the Grand Canal connecting Kalksuhu and Lake Grande in the south of the country, and it is also a section of the Grand Canal in the south of the country. ”
"Because of the excavation of the Grand Canal, tens of thousands of Cajunans have had to leave their homes. In order to maintain the water level of the Grand Canal, the people of the United States built dams at the junction of many of the original rivers and canals, which caused the water level on the north bank of the canal to continue to rise, slowly flooding their homes. The large amount of fresh water flowing down the canal to the southeast, leaving the south side of the dam with seawater backflow, resulting in lower and lower crop yields. ”
Xiao Weiwei listened to Liu Danqing's introduction and said: "Then the Cajun people here are really unlucky, won't the Mi government think about them?"
"In a capitalist society, just give a little money to compensate for it, and as for the traditions of the Cajuns, who cares? But the Cajuns are an optimistic and industrious people, and even if they lose their traditions, they generally live well, which is similar to that of the Chinese. ”
Liu Danqing made a summary and asked Xiao Weiwei: "Weiwei, choose a direction, east or west, we walk along the riverbank, we should be able to find people soon." ”
"Go east, it's afternoon, go west and the sun is shining. ”
This reason is very scientific, so after a few sips of water, the two began to continue along the riverbank.
Although this river bank is not the kind of high embankment, it is flat and smooth, but the ground is hard, although there are some weeds and the like, it is not difficult to walk.
"Qingqing, look, is there a house there?"
After walking for more than two hours, Xiao Weiwei was the first to notice that there seemed to be a human building in front of her.
So the two of them walked over with quickened steps.
Sure enough, there was a row of houses next to a, and below the was a river heading south.
To put it mildly, it should be called the Water Hub, but Lao Mi has no culture, and only writes about a Shayer Dam, which is used to regulate the water level of the Grand Canal.
It's drainage time, so the dam's gates are open, and a lot of fresh water flows through the dam into the river and rushes south.
The two walked to the side of the house, and there were two white men watching TV with headphones, and the water here was too loud to listen to without headphones.
Liu Danqing waved his hand and said hello, and the two were watching the TV intently, without any reaction at all.
I don't know if the leaders of the two are watching the live broadcast, if they are, these two will be unlucky.
Walking to the place where the voice was a little quieter, Liu Danqing said to Xiao San: "Audience friends, we have now returned to human society, those two are too involved, we won't bother them, now, I want to inform the hunting company to send a helicopter to pick me up, this time the wilderness survival in the southern swamps is over, but it's not time to say goodbye, we still have to go fishing for big fish." ”
"Yes, catch a big fish!" Xiao Weiwei waved her fist and said.
