Chapter 169: Blackwater Swamp (1)
"Look, isn't that the black bear there?"
Xiao Weiwei pointed to a bush in the distance and asked Liu Danqing, her eyesight was better than Liu Danqing, especially when looking for some distant objects.
Liu Danqing followed her fingers and looked over, only to see a black bear covered in black and shiny in the grass more than a hundred meters away, I don't know if I smelled the smell of the two people, or heard the voices of the two, and turned his head to this side, revealing a gray snout.
Seeing the black bear, Liu Danqing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "When I see the black bear, I am relieved, okay, slightly, let's leave here slowly, fortunately yesterday we chose to spend the night on the other side of the hillside, otherwise, we will have to be neighbors with the Louisiana black bear, which is not a good choice." ”
"Little San, you go and shoot that black bear, let the audience see another tyrant in this place, these black bears can't help but have no appetite for meat, but they are not interested in large animals, so when they confirm that we are not a threat, they generally do not attack us. ”
After receiving the order, Xiao San immediately flew over the black bear, photographing the huge creature from all angles.
This black bear is about 1.7 meters long, and this size indicates that it is a male black bear, and they are much larger than the female black bear.
Xiao San deliberately gave a close-up of its paws, and between the five white claws on the front of the black bear's paws, the five white claws shone with cold light, and the tips went deep into the dirt under their feet.
This black bear estimated that Xiao San was a flying bird, and he didn't pay any attention to it, digging food in the soil by himself, and he was also surrounded by a wild kudzu, at this time, there were a large number of kudzu roots underground, which could provide it with sufficient food, so it didn't have any interest in Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei, the two moving foods.
Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei continued to walk down the mountain, this is the territory of the Louisiana black bear, and naturally there will be no other large creatures, so there is no danger all the way, and they will reach the bottom of the mountain.
After finding a meadow, the two sat down, rested for a while, and drank some water.
Liu Danqing looked at the sky, it was about nine o'clock in the morning, on land, the speed of their walking was greatly accelerated, and it only took more than an hour to climb over this hill, and now they are resting, mainly to calm down the excited little heart, just scared by the big black bear, so that the two of them have a faster heartbeat, and their bodies are naturally hot, causing the two of them to have some sweat now.
After sitting for about a quarter of an hour, Liu Danqing asked, "Weiwei, how is it?
Xiao Weiwei stood up directly, patted her buttocks, and said arrogantly: "Let's go, let's go, let's continue to move forward." ”
"Forward, forward, forward, our team is like the sun, stepping on the land of the motherland......"
Accompanied by Xiao Weiwei's heroic singing, the two set off happily towards the south again.
However, after an hour, the two of them were not happy.
In front of them was a large cypress forest, and at the root of the cypress forest was a large area of water.
"Audience friends, this is the last thing I want to go into, the Blackwater Swamp in Louisiana, which is so terrible that Blizzard has set up a map of the Blackwater Swamp in the Mountains. ”
"You see, this kind of swamp has existed for thousands of years, and the soil at the bottom of them has turned black after constantly mixing with decaying plants, and there are countless large and small floating objects in the water, which makes this water look black, so people call it a black water swamp. ”
"It is inhabited by a large number of poisonous creatures, and in addition to the water-bellied snakes and black widows we have encountered, there are also coral snakes, and here, they are more numerous and more dense. ”
"Also, this black water, with very low visibility, also provides excellent cover for two of the top predators, alligators and Burmese pythons, especially alligators, who like it very much, they can grow up to three meters and six lengths here, with a bite force of more than a thousand kilograms, and now I already feel that the spear in my hand is a little short, but if it is longer, it will affect the movement. ”
Liu Danqing looked at the black water swamp in front of him, sighed depressedly again, and said to Xiao Weiwei: "Weiwei, let's have some lunch here, drink a little more water, and then fill the bamboo tube, now, I'll make a fire, you go pick up a little firewood." ”
Soon the fire was lit, Liu Danqing asked Xiao Weiwei to take care of the fire, and bake the smoked snake meat, roasting them hot, so that the snake meat would be softer, easier to chew, and easier to digest.
He picked up the aluminum pot, walked to a small pond he had just passed, filled most of the pot with water and returned to the fire, and boiled the water on a simple rack made of two thick logs.
Xiao Weiwei looked at the water in the pot, and then at the muddy water in the black water swamp, sighed, and said: "Alas, after we drink the water in the bamboo tube, we have to drink the black water in the swamp, the more I think about it, the more depressed I become, oh my God, I don't want to drink that kind of water." ”
Liu Danqing replied while turning over the snake meat worn on the wooden sticks and baking them: "So we have to drink enough water, and we also have to fill the bamboo tube before going in, so that we can't guarantee that we will always drink water, but at least let us drink a little less swamp water." ”
"Also, Weiwei, let's think about the good place, the two hurricanes just now have filtered the sewage in it, otherwise, we will face a black water swamp that emits a peculiar smell. ”
Xiao Weiwei nodded and said: "This is also true, if it weren't for the two heavy rains a while ago, then the dirty water here can be imagined, at least, there is no smell yet." ”
It can only be said that the two of them were happy too early, and when they walked into the blackwater swamp and stirred the mud under their feet, they knew whether there was a smell or not.
However, this ignorance at least made the two of them happily finish this lunch and fill both bamboo tubes with water.
In order to flavor it, Liu Danqing cut a lemon again, divided it into two, and put it in two bamboo tubes.
After lunch, the two put out the fire and stood by the water.
Liu Danqing took a deep breath, stepped into the water, and beckoned: "Weiwei, let's go, try to hurry more, find a better campsite, this black water swamp, I estimate that we will have to walk for two to three days before we can go out, come, don't hesitate." ”
Xiao Weiwei also took a deep breath and walked into Zhao Zezhong.
After taking two steps, Xiao Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qingqing, how can you be so exaggerated, the ground here is quite hard, and there is not much deep silt." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Weiwei exclaimed, it turned out that her optimism was blind.
"Oh my God, it's so deep that it's stuck in my foot, ahhhhhhh
