768. Hospitality Victor (2/5)

"Cranes, jade-fairies, blue-winged kookaburabs and pale rose parrots...... There are so many rare and famous birds here! Sophie stood on the hill and watched the flocks of birds in amazement. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The island is mountainous, and if you stand on the mountain and look down on the surrounding area, you can see many birds living here, and there are nests in the trees, on the ground, in the grass, and in many places.

Meow's eyes widened, and she struggled to catch the bird.

Li Du had to pat its ass hard to calm it down, this bear child was too uneasy.

However, it is understandable that felines have a soft spot for birds, which is an important part of their diets.

Cape Barron Island is smaller than King Island, with fewer residents, and the government discourages people from coming to the island to prevent human activity from affecting the wetlands and affecting the habitat of birds.

There is no internet, no government water and electricity projects, inconvenient transportation, and no infrastructure such as shopping malls and hospitals, so there are no residents.

But there are more birds in the wetlands, and there are more people in the island, and there are still some residents on the island.

There was a time when the government wanted to develop the island, and it opened up large tracts of open space along the east coast to harden the roads.

Later, not long after the plan was launched, environmental concepts began to attack the major governments, and the development plan was put on hold.

For those who live on the island, they still have to thank the development plan in the past, at least so that people can live here.

In the evening, Li Du and the others watched the spectacular scene of thousands of birds returning to their nests, and then walked slowly along the rugged mountain road to find a settlement.

This is a paradise-like island, the environment is particularly good, the air is very fresh, there are many wetlands, lakes and rivers on the island, these are fresh water resources, Li Du tasted it when he washed his face, and felt that the water was sweet.

Before the sun sets, they enter a quaint town-like gathering place, and this is their destination.

The island is often visited by tourists, so people are not surprised by their arrival.

This gathering place covers a small area, about forty or fifty acres, surrounded by a circle of homemade wooden fences, like a village in the Middle Ages.

The houses inside are all self-built, the appearance is very rough, but very strong, and a lot of wood is used, anyway, the wood on this island does not cost money.

The entrance of the village is a shop, which is not a shop built with the support of the government, but someone who has a boat, and will go to the nearest place from time to time to buy goods to meet the needs of the residents.

When Li Du and the others arrived, the gate of the gathering place was about to close, and they walked in quickly, and the gatekeeper didn't ask them anything, and directly let them in.

Seeing this, the officer wondered and said, "Man, you don't seem to be suspicious of outsiders, so why do you set up these things?" Who do you want to block? ”

The janitor smiled and said, "We want to keep the pirates at bay." ”

As he spoke, he patted his waist, and he carried a shotgun, the barrel of which stretched all the way to his waist.

Li Du was surprised and said, "There are still pirates on the sea now?" ”

If there are pirates, then they travel a little too casually, there is no weapons on board, and they sail a yacht alone, which is simply showing off their wealth at sea.

The janitor snorted, "Be careful, don't throw your life at sea for no apparent reason." ”

The small two-story building at the entrance is the shop, and on the first floor there are some wooden shelves with goods on them, and the boss is sitting at the door, smoking a hookah, and then waving to them.

Li Du walked over, and the boss stretched out his hand and smiled: "I'm Victor, hospitable Victor, mud howling." ”

His greeting was in Chinese, which was not standard, but it was enough to surprise Li Du, because Australians are often arrogant and they can't tell the difference between Asian yellow people.

Li Du shook hands with him and said, "I'm Li, it's nice to meet you, how do you know that I'm Chinese?" ”

The boss winked at him and said, "I have a unique ability, I can see where you are from, right, friend from Germany, friend from Mexico?" ”

The latter words were said to Brother Wolf and Godzilla, and the two of them were also surprised.

Victor was an interesting man, and there was a row of wooden benches outside his door, so they sat down here.

Li Du asked for a bottle of brandy, not because he was good at wine, but because the sea and the island were very humid, and he had to drink some strong wine to make the blood flow faster, even the children had to drink some.

A very ordinary bottle of brandy, the boss sells for 100 yuan.

Li Du guessed that this bottle of wine was only a few yuan outside, but the transportation on the island was inconvenient, and it was normal for things to be expensive.

A group of people divided a bottle of brandy, and Victor handed him the hookah: "To protect against moisture?" It's useless to rely on wine alone, come on, one person can take two sips, but it's exciting. ”

Li Du shook his head and refused, he didn't smoke.

Hans was not disgusted, and leaned over to hold the hookah and snort.

Victor grinned and said, "What pirates did I hear you talking about just now?" Haha, don't listen to the old birds' nonsense, there are no pirates here. ”

He pointed to his brain and continued: "There is a problem with the position of the old bird, persecution paranoia, you know? Understand him. ”

Li Du asked, "Old bird?" You mean him? ”

He gestured to the janitor.

Victor nodded, and Li Du asked again: "Then who are you guarding against these fences?" ”

"It's not about people, it's about animals, insects, you go near the fence and smell what it smells." Victor Road.

Li Du had already smelled it, and when they approached the village, they smelled a strong smell of sulfur, and apparently, the residents used this thing to repel insects.

They had to stay here for the night and Victor was kind enough to help them find a hotel.

It is said that it is a hotel, but in fact, it is a resident with a lot of empty rooms, they provide simple rooms and bedding and pillows, and other services are gone, and a room is twenty yuan a night.

"If you want to eat, if you like to eat fish, you should be happy, but I suggest you eat bird meat, the old bird should have hunted a black goose today, that thing tastes beautiful." Victor continued.

Li Du asked, "Do you want to go and eat with the old birds?" How much? ”

Victor smiled slyly and said, "You can eat here with me, my store is also a restaurant, haha, two in one, convenient for the public." ”

"How much?"

Victor said: "Give me twenty yuan for one person, and fifty yuan for each of the two big men, and then I'll be full." ”

Li Du said happily: "Yes." ”

After a short contact, he felt that Victor was quite reliable, except for selling alcohol and selling it expensively, other things were handled very well, and the place to live for them was also very reliable.

Victor shouted back to the door of the shop, and the old bird came to him, and then he went back to the gate and brought the big birds hanging from the fence.
