Chapter 59: A Little Oasis in the Desert
The plants in this small oasis are very miscellaneous, there are ten varieties of poplar, big rhino horn, cactus, camel willow, sea buckthorn and so on, but Lin Quan doesn't know much about these varieties, he only knows poplar and cactus, after all, these two things are also relatively common in China, at least in film and television works, so he knows, and the others don't know.

At this time, Denise also panted and followed, walking on the desert is more difficult for everyone, and she wears a pair of lightweight sneakers, which is probably not pleasing here.
"Tired, why don't we go down and wash our faces, this pool of water looks so clear!"
Lin Quan looked at the pool of water below, and was very happy in his heart, the most scarce thing in the desert is water, and it is difficult to do anything without water.
"Okay!"
Denise was also interested, the two of them carefully walked down from the sand dunes, walking in the desert area, especially under some sand dunes, be especially careful, there will be quicksand in some places in the desert, and under the sand dunes this possibility will be higher, if you fall into the quicksand, it will be very dangerous, unless there are tools nearby or the area of quicksand is not large, otherwise you can't save it at all. There are only two of them at the moment, so naturally they have to be very careful, if something happens, there is no one who can help in this wilderness.
The area of this waterhole is not very large, but it looks like the lake is very deep, and there are tanks and some fish in it, I wonder if there are crocodiles!
Lin Quan was taken aback by this idea, and he felt a little scared at the thought of the existence of crocodiles, these guys were lying in ambush in the water, waiting for the prey to come and drink the water to make a surprise attack, and then drag the prey into the water and then eat.
"Hey, be careful, there might be crocodiles in there!"
Seeing that Denise had already squatted down, Lin Quan hurriedly reminded him "kindly", and Denise was really taken aback.
Screaming and running away, Lin Quan laughed, this big Yanma is so bold, there is no food in this small pool, and there are no animals nearby, if he is a crocodile, he will definitely not come here to entrench, he will starve to death.
"You!"
Denise was in a panic, heard Lin Quan's laughter, and immediately reacted, and suddenly a miracle visited, grabbed a handful of sand and was about to throw it on Lin Quan's body, Lin Quan hurriedly jumped away, this sand was sunburned like hot iron sand, if it fell on the body, it would be repaid.
The sand thrown by Denise didn't hit anyone, but her hands were burned, and she figured out that such a clear pool of water couldn't hide even if there were crocodiles, so she was no longer afraid, squatted down and washed her hands, and then wet the towel she carried with her, wiped it on her face, and she applied sunscreen on her face, so she was careful when cleaning, although the sunscreen should be thoroughly cleaned with the specified product after it was used up, but it could also be washed off with water, and now the sun is still very big, and the sunscreen will sunburn the skin if you remove it, she began to regret it a little, why did she follow this guy overγ
"By the way, what about Wangcai? Did you bring it here?"
Lin Quan also washed his face, looked at Denise, and thought of entrusting Wangcai to her before returning to China.
Originally, he was going to bring Wangcai back, but because of the complicated procedures to go through, it was not successful, and he considered that he might have to return to Africa, so he entrusted Wangcai to Denise to take care of, and Denise came to Niger, it should have brought Wangcai, after all, they took the land route, and it was not difficult to bring a dog.
"Brought, but you don't have a place to place it here, just let it follow me first, and then talk about it when your resettlement is done! By the way, what are you going to do here? The local government has a lot of support for agriculture, and there are special subsidies from the United Nations Environmental Protection Agency, I have already applied for you, you want to see the house and enclose the land, you only need to pay a part of the money, the burden should not be very large, but you have to choose a good location, there is no water and electricity supply here, so what wells, Generators and other equipment are all up to you. β
Denise has been here for a long time, and she knows much more about the situation here than Lin Quan, and looking at her statement, it seems that she has indeed put a lot of effort into it, and has made a lot of preparations in advance, Lin Quan is still a little grateful to her, the two are not too familiar with each other, but I don't know why, Lin Quan was a little tempted after hearing her suggestion, and he made up his mind to come over after receiving her call in China, and he still hasn't figured out why.
"The well is not a big problem, this is a desert, it should not be difficult to dig, and the power generation equipment, I plan to use solar energy directly, diesel power generation is not cost-effective, and the mechanical noise is too loud, it is okay during the day, and it is easy to provoke some indiscriminate things to come at night, I am a little worried, by the way, how is the security here?"
As soon as he thought of living here alone, Lin Quan thought of the most dangerous thing, that is, the security conditions here.
Not every country is called China, in foreign countries, the security conditions in many countries are very bad, even the people of the world's number one power, the United States, are also living in dire straits, after eight o'clock in the evening, there are no people on the street, a little remote alley can not go, minute robbery and rape is not a joke with you!
The security conditions in Western European countries can only be said to be slightly better than those in the United States, at least the guns in these places are not so easy to get their hands on, but they are only a good one.
As for African countries, due to the wrestling between the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union in the last century, Africa's weapons are overflowing, tribes and religions and cultures are mixed here, armed tribes of all sizes are everywhere, conflicts are continuous, many countries are still at war until now, far from being safe, such as Niger, this country has been mired in civil war for a long time, although the situation in the country has eased a lot in recent years, but it is still very dangerous here.
But there are relatively few people here in Agadez, and there is a large desert near the north, so there are very few people passing by, most of them are herdsmen, herdsmen, you know? It's those guys who move around on camels, they are the biggest enemies of the inhabitants here, because they are not only herdsmen, but they also have another layer of identity, which is horse thieves!"
What Denise said was very serious, but Lin Quan didn't believe her safely, who knew if what she said was true or false, after all, she had just teased her once before, and she wanted to retaliate.
