967.Honey Picking (1/10)

After the rope ladder was knitted, a black man bit the stick with his teeth and nimbly climbed up the tree.

This big-leaved tree grows thick and tall, and wild bees tend to choose the tallest and sturdy one to build their nests, so you need to prepare tools to collect honey.

The rope ladder is the way out, once the bee colony is provoked, you have to quickly climb down the rope ladder to escape, otherwise the trees are more than ten meters high, and if you don't jump, you will be blocked by the bee colony, and you will fall to death if you jump.

The first person went up the tree to hang the rope ladder, and the others prepared the honey gathering tools and carried torches up the rope ladder.

Li Du asked, "What is the purpose of this torch, is it used to make smoke to smoke and kill bees?"

Cheeks shook his head and said, "It is already immoral for us to steal the fruits of the bees' labor, how can we smoke them to death because of this? ”

When a few of the blacks climbed the tree, Cheeks beckoned, and the others hurried away, hiding far away.

Just when they were lurking, a magnificent scene appeared in front of Li Du:

As the sun sets, the light in the woods dims, and suddenly, a bright light appears under the hive, blooms, and then falls with a series of sparks.

The sparks are very dense, and when they fall from a ten-meter-high tree, it seems that a waterfall of fire has appeared, looking at this scene, Li Du saw the real fire tree silver flower!

Just as the Firelight Falls fell, countless bees flew out of the huge hive, and they gathered together to form a swarm and flew down the Firefall.

At this time, the nectar pickers on the tree began to work quickly.

Using a knife made from animal bones, they cut through the lower part of the hive, opened a bag, and suddenly orange-yellow sticky honey flowed into it.

The honey flows slowly, and the honey harvester constantly stirs it with a knife at the opening of the hive, otherwise the viscous honey may block the opening.

Soon, a bag of honey was collected, and at this time several people went in and cut some propolis with knives, and the bee colony chased the fire on the ground and circled, and then began to return to the nest.

At this time, the honey collectors hurriedly packed up their things and climbed down to avoid being blocked by the bee colony.

Eventually, a few bees spotted them, but it didn't affect the overall situation, they shot the bee that stinged to death, otherwise they would endure the pain of being bitten, and in short, they had to climb down quickly.

In this way, they went to a hive to collect some honey and propolis, and before the sun was about to disappear into the horizon, they packed up their things and left.

Li Du and his party were allocated a water bladder of honey, enough for them to roast crocodile meat.

After obtaining the honey, the two sides parted ways, and both hurried back while there was still a little light in the sky.

After hitting the road, the two sides found that they were on the same path, and Cheeks chatted with Apodu for a few words, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, our camps are not far apart." ”

The lion hunter shrugged, "It's not surprising, it's watery, dry, and mounds to keep the wind out, it's the best place to set up camp, isn't it?"

Sophie was waiting at the camp, looking at something with an electric paper book.

When the group returned, Sophie waved happily and asked, "How is it, is everything going well today?"

Apodu and the bodyguards went to handle the food, while Li Du and the others rested.

He said, "All the best, there are other gains, do you know the Haza'i? ”

Sophie laughed and said, "How could I not know about the Haza'i, the nomadic people of Tanzania? I also saw that two Haza'i girls came to visit us at the camp at noon. ”

The two Hazai girls were also from Chiks's clan, and their camps were apparently close to each other.

Apodu first cleaned up the giant frog and crocodile, put the frog meat and crocodile meat on the fire and roasted them.

The Zulu people's technique of barbecuing giant frogs is very primitive, and the frog skin is not peeled, that is, the internal organs are removed, and then the frog is fixed with a wooden stick with a branch, and it is put on the fire to turn over and grill.

During the barbecue, Apodu smeared salt on it, and soon, in the roaring firelight, the giant frog's skin began to explode, revealing the pink and white flesh inside.

As the grilling continues, the fat in the frog's meat seeps out, and every time the fat drips into the campfire, it causes the flames to beat and make a 'stinging, stinging, stinging' sound.

A giant frog was roasted, Apodu stuck a knife on it, and then walked over respectfully with the giant frog in both hands to offer it to Li Du.

He naturally did this to thank Li Du for saving his life before, if Li Du hadn't acted in time, he would definitely have been bitten by a crocodile.

That way, even if he wouldn't be dragged into the water and eaten, Apodu would have to pay for a leg, and for a hunter like him, not having a leg is no different than losing his life.

Li Du and the two couldn't eat a giant frog, he cut off two frog legs, and the others wanted to be eaten by the lion hunter and others, but Ah Meow slapped it down, Ah Oh cooperated and took it up, and the two little guys cooperated to take away the rest of the giant frog.

No wonder they are so anxious, the giant frog tastes very good, Li Du cut a piece of frog meat in his mouth, like tuna meat, especially delicate.

The rare thing is that the frog meat itself is more chewy, and it is rich in oil, so the more you chew it, the more fragrant it is.

Sophie was quite fond of the frog, and she refused to eat the giant frog meat, so Mr. Li, who also thought that he was not interested in the giant frog, ate the two frog legs with taste.

There is also grilled crocodile meat at the back, which is cut into pieces and skewered and grilled with butter and honey.

Li Du tasted a piece, the meat tasted good, the strength was stronger, and because of the use of wild honey, it tasted sweet.

He was almost full after eating two frog legs, and he was not cold to crocodile meat, so he didn't eat much more.

After eating and drinking, Li Du was ready to rest.

The lion hunter was interested, and asked, "Lee, don't be in a hurry to go to the tent, remember the little buffalo I hunted?"

Li Du came to Africa to look for diamonds, but not to hunt or play with his life, and besides, the lion didn't provoke him, so he didn't go to join in the fun.

Seeing that he was not interested, the lion hunter was also a little interested, and said helplessly: "Damn, I knew I wouldn't waste that bullet." ”

The night sky in the South African savannah is exceptionally clear, the moon is not visible, and countless stars are scattered in the sky.

Li Du sat in front of the tent and looked up at the night sky, looking at these colorful stars.

The starry sky is a colorful color, and the starry sky here is unlike any other, and the night sky is like a black canvas with yellow-green flecks on it.

These spots emit a glow that is as bright as a lamp, so even if the night sky is black, it still can't hide the brightness of the starlight.

The grassland is flat, and when you look out during the day, you seem to be able to see the end of the world.

At night, the light is not good, and you can't see far, but there are campfires in some places, so that there is no place on the ground to obstruct the view, and everyone turns their heads to see how many camps are nearby.
