Chapter 1307: Into the Rainforest (Part I)

Baldwin's decision was so sudden that Xiao Yonghua and Leon, who were already triumphant, were stunned. Especially Leon, this guy is even more wolf, and the smile is still on his face, and he has already shouted Baldwin: "Why? Is it just to let this layman go to Manaus to buy equipment, and then delay our trip by a day?"

"Of course not for this reason. Baldwin said expressionlessly: "I have more important things to deal with, and letting Xiao Ping follow him to buy equipment is just a matter of passing." If you have any different opinions, you can complain directly to the headquarters, and I will personally explain the reasons to the headquarters, and I believe that the directors will understand!"

Since Baldwin had talked about this, Leon, who was the most excited, could not say anything more, so he could only go back to his room sullenly. It's just that Baldwin didn't say what the important thing was, which also led to speculation. After all, everyone knows that Baldwin's passion for saving animals has always been very high, so what could make him voluntarily postpone his trip by a day?

Others didn't know, but of course Xiao Ping knew that it must have been the check that worked. That's a check for 20 million US dollars, Baldwin is definitely not at ease to let Su Chenlin take him into the jungle, such a huge check, it is more reassuring to cash it early. And the closest place to cash that check right now is undoubtedly Manaus, so Xiao Ping can naturally follow by the way to buy equipment.

Xiao Ping's guess was not wrong, and this trip to Manaus was also very smooth. After arriving in Manaus, Xiao Ping and Su Chen went to buy the equipment needed to enter the jungle, while Baldwin went to the bank with the local head of the animal protection organization and transferred 20 million US dollars into the account of the animal protection organization.

That night, Xiao Ping and his family returned to Kodaconta, and the next day everyone got up early. Start preparing for your departure.

Only at this time did Xiao Ping know that there was a lot of equipment to bring when entering the jungle. In addition to drinking water and dry food for everyone on the road. There are also food, mosquito nets, mosquito repellent medicines, and other necessities for living in the rainforest after arriving at the camp. In addition to these things, the most are all kinds of drugs, equipment, and so on that are used to rescue animals. Xiao Ping even saw several kinds of milk powder, one of which was actually specially prepared for parrots!

This discovery made Xiao Ping very curious. Although he didn't go to college, he still had the most basic knowledge of biology. Only mammalian cubs want to drink milk, how can there be milk powder specially prepared for parrots? This made Xiao Ping puzzled, and he couldn't help but look at the milk powder can in amazement.

"Get out of the way, why don't you work in a daze!" At this time, a shout and scolding sounded behind Xiao Ping. He quickly turned his head to look and saw that it was an American named Kerry carrying a large box of medicines, and he was walking by angrily.

This Kerry is also one of Su Chenlin's suitors. Since the day before yesterday and Xiao Yonghua and others formed a united front, they have not looked at Xiao Ping with a good face.

However, Xiao Ping was indeed at fault in this matter, so he didn't bother with the other party, and just silently got out of the way.

Kerry walked past Xiao Ping with a suitcase, and scolded and said: "A rookie who doesn't know anything, just come to the rainforest to find death by yourself, don't bother others!"

Xiao Ping turned a deaf ear to Kerry's words and took care of his own supplies. Lao Jia, another Chinese in the team, waited for Kerry to go away. Only then did he come over and comfort Xiao Ping in a whisper: "Don't take these people to heart, their attitude towards new members is like this, and it's ......"

Lao Jia originally wanted to say, "And you are still as good as Xiao Su", but he hesitated for a while and still didn't say it. But Xiao Ping didn't take Kerry's matter seriously at all. Instead, he was very curious and told Lao Jia his doubts.

"Hehe, you were in a daze just now for this. Lao Jia smiled and explained to Xiao Ping: "Parrot chicks live on the food that adult birds regurgitate, if the chicks lose their adult birds. It can only be fed with this parrot milk powder, although the effect is a little worse. But it is always possible to feed the chicks. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ping suddenly realized that parrots and pigeons were almost the same. The chicks are fed with ruminant food. In the past, when Xiao Ping's grandfather was still alive, he also used to raise each other, and after Lao Jia's explanation, he naturally understood immediately.

After solving the mystery in his heart, Xiao Ping continued to be busy like everyone else. The town of Coda Conta is right next to the Amazon River, and the first leg of the journey will be a boat ride down the Amazon River. Soon all the equipment and supplies were moved to a dozen canoes, and the people involved in the operation also got on board. Locals sitting in the stern of the boat started their engines, and more than a dozen canoes made a "thud" sound and headed downstream of the river.

A man with a hateful face had been watching the scene with interest from the docks, until the canoe had sailed away, and then he came to the bar of the inn, found a public telephone, dialed a number, and whispered, "It's gone, Karui is following!"

Of course, Xiao Ping and the others in the canoe didn't know that they had just left Kodakunta and were being targeted. At this time, Xiao Ping was sitting on a fast-moving canoe, looking curiously at the qiē around him. The Amazon rainforest is so vast and mysterious, admiring this rainforest on the Amazon River is definitely more majestic than what you see on TV, and it also fascinates Xiao Ping, who is here for the first time.

And Xiao Yonghua and the others all showed disdain when they saw Xiao Ping's intoxicated look when he looked at the surrounding scenery. It's not the first time they've been to the Amazon rainforest, and they know what's really going on here. Don't look at the beautiful scenery on the big river, when you enter the small river or even walk on the shore, the hardship is not something that ordinary people can afford. Xiao Yonghua and the others were waiting to see Xiao Ping's jokes, to see how wolf he was in the depths of the jungle.

The group drove for most of the day on the wide surface of the Amazon River, and then turned into a relatively narrow direct current and went upstream. From the moment you turn into a tributary, the journey is not as pleasant as before. First of all, because of the upstream, the speed of the canoe is much slower. The river gets shallower the further you go, and in many cases only one canoe is allowed to move slowly through the middle of the river. So a dozen canoes can only line up in a long column on the river, which looks quite spectacular.

The closer you get to the upper reaches of the river, the shallower it becomes, and in some places it is difficult to get to guò by canoe. In order for the canoe to reach places where the water is particularly shallow, the people on board need to get down and carry the canoe in unison, and then return to the canoe to reach the deeper water.

Originally, Xiao Yonghua and the others were waiting for this time to see Xiao Ping's jokes, but they soon found that these small obstacles could not bother him at all. Every time he went to a shallow place, Xiao Ping would not only carry the canoe he was riding, but even stay to help others carry the canoe they were riding. Each time, Xiao Ping carried more than a dozen canoes in a row, as if he was never tireless, and this attitude also made him quickly win the respect of the vast majority of people.

In fact, for Xiao Ping, these things are nothing at all. If it weren't for the fear of being too shocking, he could have carried so many canoes across the shallows by himself.

Of course, Xiao Pingbiao had to work so hard, all for Su Chenlin's sake. He didn't want Su Chenlin's colleagues to think that the newcomer she brought was a useless waste, and the face of the iceberg beauty was not bright.

Su Chenlin also knew Xiao Ping's intention to do this, every time he watched him work hard, he felt warm in his heart, and his pretty face, which had always been expressionless, would become a little softer, and occasionally a trace of tenderness would be revealed from his eyes.

However, Su Chenlin's abnormal appearance fell into the eyes of Xiao Yonghua and others who peeked at him from time to time. Of course, they knew who Su Chenlin was changed for, and their hostility towards Xiao Ping deepened.

After another half a day along the tributary, the canoe could not go any further. It was getting late, so Baldwin decided to spend the night by the river and continue his journey tomorrow, hoping to get to camp as soon as possible.

Many of the team members had experience in surviving in the wild, so a small makeshift camp was quickly set up. Everyone gathered their tents in a circle, and in the middle was a lit bonfire, which looked decent.

Only at this time did Xiao Ping know why Xiao Yonghua and others said that they couldn't enter the rainforest without equipment, which was actually reasonable. If you don't bring a tent or other equipment, you will definitely get drenched in soup when it rains, and even the insects in the rainforest can cause big trouble.

After a day of trekking, everyone had a hard time. After a hasty meal of dry food, they went back to their tents to rest, leaving only the night watchmen to stay by the campfire.

Because Xiao Ping worked very hard during the day, Baldwin did not arrange for him to keep vigil. Although Xiao Yonghua and others were quite dissatisfied with such an arrangement, they couldn't say anything. After all, Xiao Ping did several jobs alone during the day, and there was no reason for him to keep vigil anymore.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, everyone got up and prepared to go. The journey on the second day was more difficult than the first day. Because I couldn't take the boat the next day, I had to walk forward, and I had to carry the supplies that I had used to transport in a canoe on my back.

Although the girls in the team were given special care and carried much less supplies than the men, it was still very hard to walk in the rainforest for a day.

Xiao Ping felt sorry for Su Chenlin, so he insisted on carrying her package on himself. However, considering that Su Chenlin definitely didn't want to be special, he simply brought all the materials that the other two girls had to carry, so that Su Chenlin would not feel embarrassed.

Xiao Ping's actions surprised the others, knowing that walking in the rainforest is no more than other places, just walking empty-handed is tiring enough, not to mention that he carries twice as many supplies as others, and he will definitely be exhausted in the end.

As the team leader, Baldwin was the first to look down, and came to Xiao Ping's side and whispered: "Xiao Ping, this can't be done!" (to be continued......)
