Chapter 681 [First Entry into the Mountain]

The 40-year-old guide has a very interesting name, called Lahm, but he has the same name as a famous member of the German team. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but the surname behind the name is very long, and he is also a well-known local know-it-all, he likes strange things and adventures, so he was successfully hired as the guide of Yang Yong's team.

This visit is a visitatory one, and the main thing is to understand the geography of the mountains near Darjeeling. The local climate, the local wildlife conditions, are tentative actions, so the entire exploration team members are streamlined and programmed.

In the end, only Yang Yong was left, as well as James' housekeeper, bodyguard Smith, and Chris, the big black brother he snatched from Adam, the little fat man. Together with two special forces bodyguards, two very experienced treasure hunters formed a small team and followed this guide named Ram into the deep mountains near Darjeeling.

As soon as he entered the mountainous area, Yang Yong felt uncomfortable, not to say how bad the environment was, just entering the mountain. No matter how harsh and harsh the environment is in the mountains, Yang Yong's uncomfortable place is just the local climate, which is very hot, even in the lush forest, it feels very hot.

This heat is different from the humid and hot environment of the Amazon rainforest, it is dry heat, and there is a little bit of dry heat of the wind. The human body is very easy to sweat, the speed of evaporation of water is very fast, and when it is not two kilometers into the mountain, the back of the black T-shirt worn by Yang Yong is all white with a layer of salt frost.

These are all a layer of salt frost formed by the evaporation of sweat stains, which is still so embarrassing when Yang Yong is not carrying any equipment. And those bodyguards and treasure hunters have weapons in their hands and dozens of kilograms of equipment on their backs, so you can imagine how embarrassed they must have been, and they have not reached five kilometers into the mountains and forests.

The team led by Yang Yong can be called an elite, and they have to sit on the ground and gasp for breath, and replenish the water and salt. Only then did I have the energy to stand up and go into the mountains again, and after ten kilometers into the mountain woodland, the surrounding wild animals gradually increased, and now they are on the periphery of the mountains, and the wild animals are also some small wild animals.

The species are very rich, Yang Yong even saw pangolins twice, Asian jackals once, and several particularly large lizards. There is no road on the mountain beyond the range of ten kilometers, and if you go inside, you can only carve a way by yourself with a mountain opening knife, because the guide Ram hired by himself is quite experienced.

The physical strength is also good, although he is not wearing regular mountaineering equipment, you can't stand it, he is a local, and he moves very quickly. A large clay wood knife flew up and down, much more powerful than the dog-legged machete that Smith played. The guide walked very slowly while driving the road, and the physical exertion of the crowd was too great, so he had to stop for lunch to replenish water after walking less than three kilometers.

Since the mountains are very dry, and they are also on the edge of the dry season, you should eat a hot meal in the forest. That is equivalent to setting fire to the forest, even if Yang Yong is a foreigner, he cannot afford such serious consequences.

So I can only eat some convenience food, fortunately, Yang Yong brings with him the experience of Chinese chefs, which is called a rich. Knowing that Yang Yong led a team into the mountains today to investigate, he made some cold foods such as sauce elbow, roast chicken, and sauce beef in advance. In addition, the staple food is prepared for the more famous local tortillas, and some vegetable salad, at this time, I found a flat land in the mountain forest to clean up the leaves on the ground, and there are any insects or poisonous snakes.

After that, everyone gathered around to eat and replenish water, and at this time, Yang Yong could no longer stand the very itchy and uncomfortable feeling on his body. Hurriedly took off all his clothes, and then Steward James very consciously carried a bucket of ten liters of pure water, took a small bag of shower gel and Yang Yong came to the camp not far away, and then helped Yang Yong take a good bath.

If you imagine that it is really luxurious, the water for bathing is pure water, and it is all carried by hand from the bottom of the mountain. Yang Yong actually used it for bathing, the degree of luxury can be imagined, but all the team members brought by Yang Yong did not feel very surprised, they followed Yang Yong for too long.

Knowing that Yang Yong has a habit of cleanliness, not to mention that whoever puts the salt stain on him feels very uncomfortable. It is very rare for Yang Yong to persist until now, isn't it just to take a bath Yang Yong has the right to enjoy this treatment. Of course, Yang Yong also knows the preciousness of water, and only half of the ten liters of pure water can be washed on the body.

Then he changed into shorts and a T-shirt and walked back to camp in a herringbone and sat down in the folding chair that Smith had prepared. Straighten up and take out the leather bag he was carrying, and take out the cigarette case inside, this is a box of No. 3 Cohiba cigars is not big, but it is very enjoyable and convenient to smoke.

All the team members, including Xiang Ram, each shared one, and everyone chatted while eating, listening to Ram's description of what wild animals are in the mountains and forests. What are the dangerous animals? What are the animals that are very ferocious, going down the mountain to eat people, and so on.

Everyone was eating and drinking together, and just as they were happy, they heard a very majestic roar far away from the forest. Although Yang Yong didn't see a tiger that really lived in the wild, he still knew the tiger's cry, and everyone was very surprised. I didn't expect to hear the cry of a tiger just after entering the mountains and forests for more than ten kilometers, and the environment is too well protected.

At this time, the guide Ram saw that everyone was shocked, and then said with a smile. "Don't be afraid, the sound is more than 20 kilometers away from ours, and the tigers in India know that humans are not easy to mess with. If we really eat people, the tiger's death is not far off, so the tiger will stay away from our expedition. Even in the forest, the most dangerous thing is the snake, not the tiger, so I warn everyone that when walking in the forest, the boy must bring protection. ”

This so-called calf protection is indeed composed of a very thick fiber product, which is tied to the surface of one's calf and feet. Even if you step on a poisonous snake when walking in the forest, the part of the poisonous tongue attack is the lower leg of the person, and the leg is the surface of the foot, so with this protection, you will not be bitten by the poisonous snake. Facing the danger of life, but this thing is very thick and tied to the calf, and it is very uncomfortable to sweat without ventilation.

But India is the famous land of poisonous snakes, and some poisonous snakes are combined with India's poor medical conditions, so if you are really bitten by a snake, then ask for more blessings. You can only turn to the local witch doctor or the local doctor to treat it with soil methods, and whether you can save your life depends on your creation. Even helicopters to hospitals in New Delhi may not be able to wait for the antidote to be obtained, which is why more than 1,000 people are bitten by poisonous snakes every year in India. The world's largest poisonous snake disaster area is a lethal area, and it feels very terrible to prevent when you think about it.
