Chapter 398: Self-Knowledge
Before entering the rainforest, Gao Yang and the others collectively made up for their knowledge of the rainforest, and they also took sufficient protective measures, but the locusts could not be prevented, and they finally fell for it.
After scrambling the locusts off their bodies, Gao Yang was surprised to find that Lucika and the others did not move, obviously not being infested by the locusts, and although they also carried headlamps or flashlights, there were far fewer mosquitoes hovering around them.
Gao Yang they brought a lot of mosquito repellent, and there are several, according to the instructions, it should be able to effectively prevent mosquitoes and locusts and the like, but the facts have proved that the effect is there, but the effect is not too good, especially a lot of sweat, after the clothes are soaked, the mosquito repellent sprayed on it soon loses its effect.
The five guides didn't use any mosquito repellent, but they didn't care about mosquitoes at all.
"Hey, Lucica, can you tell me what you use to be not afraid of mosquitoes?"
After hearing Gao Yang's question, Lucica didn't speak, and after walking back and forth beside her with her head down for a few steps, she reached out and uprooted a leaf from a half-human-tall large-leaved plant, kneaded the leaf ball in her hand, squeezed out the juice, and smeared it back and forth on her hand and face a few times.
The kind of leaves used by Lucica can't be said to be everywhere, but it is definitely extremely common, Gao Yang walked over, pulled off a leaf, and wiped it on his own hand in the same way as Lucica.
The juice squeezed out of the leaves has a very strong smell, a bit like garlic, but the smell is not particularly strong. And it's not very rushed.
After applying the juice to your hands. The skin on the hands turns brown after a short period of time. Other than that, he didn't feel anything else, Gao Yang raised his hand at Lucica and said, "Is this okay?"
Lucica nodded, then said coldly, "Apply more." ”
Gao Yang immediately said loudly: "Brothers, look at this, apply this to your body, it is much better than mosquito repellent." ”
Gather your own people together and tell them what kind of plants will be effective in repelling mosquitoes. Gao Yang took the opportunity to whisper: "This rainforest is too foreign to us, if the current situation continues, there will be big trouble, but our guides don't seem to care about everything, I don't trust them, so, now we are in trouble." ”
Gao Yang was very distrustful of their guides, they obviously had some means to repel mosquitoes, but they did not say a word about Gao Yang and their torture, just indifferently and coldly watched. As if nothing had to do with them, such a guide was not competent.
These guides are indispensable for the rest of the road. But these guides were very incompetent, so Gao Yang felt that they were already in serious trouble.
Li Jinfang sighed and said, "Ivan is right, everything here is full of hostility, including people. ”
Grolev smiled bitterly: "The guides are not cooperative, no one can do anything, we can't always point our guns at those guides and let them talk more." ”
At this time, Tommy suddenly said: "They are all guerrillas, in life except for comrades are enemies, they are wary of all outsiders, it is difficult to be friends with them, but these people are qualified fighters, give them command, I mean everything on the road listen to them, and then they will arrange everything properly." ”
Gao Yang frowned and said, "Are you sure?"
Tommy nodded confidently and said, "I understand the way these people think, trust me, they won't take the initiative to do anything, but as long as you put the responsibility on them, they will do what they have to do." ”
Gao Yang thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, there is no better way, I told them, they have the final say on the road in the future." ”
After making up his mind, Gao Yang returned to Lucica's side, and said with a smile on his face: "Xie Lu, thank you for teaching us the method, it works very well, you are the master here, so everything is up to you, so we have decided, in the future, the command on the road will be handed over to you, you can go, you can stop, in short, everything depends on you." ”
After Gao Yang finished saying with a smile, Lucica looked at him in surprise, and after looking up and down in surprise, Lucica suddenly turned her head and left, leaving Gao Yang in a daze.
It's not that Lucica doesn't want to deal with Gao Yang, she walked to Kemp's side, and after repeating Gao Yang's words, Kemp also looked at Gao Yang in surprise, but after thinking for a while, she still walked back to Gao Yang's side with Lucica.
Kemp spoke with a serious face, Lucica was on the side to translate, and Goyan and Kemp had a brief but productive meeting.
"Are you sure I'll make the decision on the next path?"
"Yes. ”
"What are the aspects?"
"Everything except combat. ”
After a few brief words, Kemp's expression changed, he glanced at Gao Yang, nodded, and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements for the next journey, I hope you can follow the arrangement." ”
Gao Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are the masters here, you are familiar with this place, and we have no reason to refuse the expert's arrangement and ask for hardship." ”
Camp suddenly smiled and said in a deep voice: "You are different from other outsiders, you are self-aware. ”
Gao Yang didn't know whether Kemp's words were a compliment or sarcasm, but he decided to take Kemp's words as a compliment, unfamiliar is unfamiliar, there is nothing to be ashamed of, having self-knowledge is an advantage, if it causes any evil consequences because of slapping a swollen face and becoming fat, it is purely self-inflicted.
"I've always thought of self-knowledge as a virtue, and you seem to have come into contact with other outsiders?"
Kemp pointed to the things behind Gao Yang and said, "You have a lot of things, but most of them are useless in the rainforest, but people who carry a lot of things like you are usually very proud, but they don't understand that in the rainforest, proud people die quickly." ”
Don't give false confidence to having good equipment, it's a lofty principle, good equipment doesn't mean experience, and in the rainforest, experience is definitely more useful than equipment.
Gao Yang smiled slightly and said, "So we listen to you for everything except fighting." ”
Camp stretched out his hand to Gao Yang and said in a deep voice, "Happy cooperation." ”
After Gao Yang shook Kemp's hand, he said with a smile: "Happy cooperation, in addition, we will learn a lot from you, I would like to thank you in advance, thank you." (To be continued......)
