Chapter 181: The Abandoned House of Cajun

"Hey, what's that?"

Xiao Weiwei pointed to the hillside in the distance and asked Liu Danqing.

Liu Danqing followed Xiao Weiwei's fingers and looked over, and through the gap in the trees, he could vaguely see that there was a small patch of white there.

"Well, it looks a bit like a house, is our trip coming to an end? Let's go and have a look. ”

The two of them washed their trouser legs and shoes and socks at the water's edge, washed off the mud on them, and walked towards the white patch.

While walking, Liu Danqing said: "It's evening again, it is said that we should build a shelter, but we found a place that is suspected of being a house, we decided to take a look, gamble, and if we win, we can take a comfortable shower and have a meal." If we lose, we can only find a sheltered corner and set up an improvised camp. ”

"Weiwei, we put the boiling water into a bamboo tube, and then add a bamboo tube of water to prevent the water source from being found when we go up the mountain, and then it will be dark for another hour, and we don't have enough time to look carefully. ”

After filling the water, the two began to walk towards the location of the suspected house on the hillside.

Xiao Weiwei looked quite tall at this time, carried the spear on her shoulder, and said with a smile as she walked: "It feels really good to walk on land, I feel relaxed, I feel that I can now walk back to Huaguo in one breath." ”

As he spoke, he waved the spear in his hand again and shouted, "Come on, crocodile, come on, Burmese python, we don't have much food, come and die." ”

Live like an Amazonian warrior.

"It's slightly good, hurry up and take a group of female warrior photos, I want to make a desktop. ”

"Mengmeng didn't give Danqing and Weiwei a fighter jet - it's amazing my sister, the Amazon female warrior. ”

"Twilight of the Sky gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - congratulations to Weiwei for winning the title: python hunter and crocodile killer. ”

"The speechless blue wolf gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - Qingye and Weiwei, and begged to eat crocodile meat and Burmese pythons, which must be wild and giant. ”

Xiao Weiwei is very cheerful now, and Liu Danqing is more carefully observing the situation around her.

Although they should be careful, after all, although this place is out of water, it is not a peaceful place, and there are still creatures that can threaten their lives, but he is not willing to disturb her, remind her, and let her jump away for a while.

All the way, it was quiet, there was no emergency, and soon, they could vaguely see that it was indeed a house.

This discovery made them very happy, and even seemed to become more powerful in their feet.

But after walking for more than 20 minutes, they realized that it was just an abandoned and dilapidated house.

Liu Danqing sighed, as if he was about to spit out all the depression in his heart, and then said, "We didn't win the bet, because now it can be seen that the house is very dilapidated, and even the roof seems to have collapsed a lot." ”

"But we didn't lose the gamble, because it was a house, and at least it would provide us with a place to live, and even if it was a broken house, there might be something useful in it. ”

"Either way, we're going to have to go over there, and hopefully there's something we can use again. ”

The two climbed up the hill, only to find that there was not only one house here, but also several buildings in the back, all of which were one-story bungalows, but they were all very dilapidated.

"These houses were probably abandoned in 2015, when Louisiana hit the biggest hurricane on record, and many residents moved out of their original locations," Liu said. ”

Walking into the hut, it was already in ruins, the roof had basically collapsed, the wooden walls had rotted into shape, and even a lot of fungi and plants had grown, and some wooden furniture was scattered in the corners.

"This is supposed to be the place where the Cajuns live, and they like the white house. Liu Danqing pointed to several dilapidated but barely discernible oil paintings on the wall, and continued: "Pelicans, accordions, hunting, fishing, these are the traditions of the Cajun people, and they are also their favorites, especially the accordion, which is the instrument they brought out from their hometown, has always been their symbol, and they like to sit on the front porch in the evening, playing the accordion and singing lyrical songs." ”

"Let's guess that these Cajun people used to live in the Naganmara area and relied on fishing for their livelihood, but the government of the United States dug the Grand Canal, which caused the water to back up and the water level was too high, and they were forced to leave their homes. ”

"Some of them followed the government's arrangement and joined the nearby towns and gradually became fashionable Americans, but there were also others who thought that they were happiest if they kept their traditions, so they came to this place and chose to build their homes on the higher slopes. ”

Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina in 2015 swept through the area, destroying their homes, and they had to move out of here, and their whereabouts are unknown. ”

"If this guess is correct, there should be a lake nearby, and the Cajuns also like to hunt, but they prefer to fish, and to catch crayfish. ”

Xiao Weiwei listened to Liu Danqing's speculation, and at the same time used a spear to open the spider webs and some sundries, searching, trying to find something useful.

Liu Danqing saw Xiao Weiwei constantly rummaging, and greeted: "Weiwei, let's go directly to the kitchen to see, this is the living room, Cajun people live a relatively primitive and natural life, and there will not be many useful things in the living room." ”

Xiao Weiwei heard the promise, and was about to go inside, but was stopped by Liu Danqing again.

"Weiwei, let's go out first, go around from the outside, this house is so dilapidated, nothing will stop us, it's too messy inside, the floor is not good, just now I stepped on a rotten floor, almost stepped on the air. ”

Because they were wooden houses, the Cajuns built them with thick wood and then built them on stakes so that the house would be off the ground so that the floor would not rot due to moisture.

However, these houses don't even have roofs, and the wooden planks are naturally beaten by the wind and rain, and many of them are already rotten.

Walking out of the house, they went around to the back of the house, the house was already basically transparent, although there was also a back door in the back, but the door panel had already been rotten and could not be hung up, and it fell to the ground, and there were several big holes in the wall, through these holes, everything was unobstructed.
