After a night's rest in Malakal, the next day Gao Yang was in no hurry to leave, he had to buy something for himself first.

In the grassland, many inconspicuous little things are more important than the role of a gun, such as tinder, kettle, some insect medicine, and most of the time, a knife is more useful than a pistol.

Gao Yang came in a hurry, and many things were not prepared, so he had to purchase some necessary things before he could set off, but these things that can often be used in daily life will not be difficult to buy, and Gao Yang did not delay too long to buy the required qiē.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Gao Yang arrived at the airport where he rented the plane on time, of course, the so-called airport is no different from the last time he came to see, it is still only a dirt runway can be regarded as an airport.

There is no tower control, and there is no air traffic control, Gao Yang can fly if he wants to, threw the things he bought on the plane, checked the plane again, and saw that the weather was not bad, Gao Yang directly drove the plane into the sky.

Although it is true that he learned how to fly an airplane in the United States, Gao Yang is still early to get a flight certificate, but he has also undergone formal training and already has the ability to fly alone, while most pilots in Marakal have not even formally learned how to fly an airplane, and there is no need for a pilot's license to fly a plane here.

The first time he flew to the sky alone, Gao Yang was a little nervous at first, but the nervousness soon turned into excitement.

After flying far away, when I looked from the air to the ground, I could no longer see the farmland. Instead, there are large grasslands, looking at familiar landscapes, plus the possibility of meeting the long-separated Akuri tribe. Gao Yang's mood became more and more excited.

Gao Yang had to fly for hours to reach the coordinates where he had agreed to meet Catherine, and as he flew all the way east, the scenery on the ground changed, from a meadow with almost no trees to a savanna with some trees, and as Gao Yang got closer to his destination, there were more and more trees on the ground.

When Gao Yang was not far from the coordinates he wanted to go. The ground was basically forested, and although there was not a lot of open space, there was no place for him to land.

Although the place to go will be the edge of the rainforest. There will be fewer places to land when they arrive, but Gao Yang doesn't have to worry about finding a landing site, because Catherine's film crew has to fly in by plane if they need to deliver supplies on a temporary basis. So there is a cleared makeshift runway near their station.

There is only one coordinate. After really flying over the coordinate area, it is still necessary to carefully look for the ground reference object to really find the place, seeing that the GPS indication has arrived, Gao Yang lowered his altitude and began to hover in the air.

After adjusting the radio on the plane from the air traffic control frequency to the frequency given by Catherine, Gao Yang grabbed the intercom and said loudly: "I'm Gao Yang, Catherine, are you listening?" ”

Catherine received. I've seen you a long time ago, and I've called you many times without answering. What's going on. ”

Gao Yang was very embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, you know I'm still a newbie, I forgot to adjust the frequency of the radio." ”

"I'm waiting for you to pick you up on the ground, and in front of your nose to the right, do you see an open space? I'm in the car here, the red SUV, see? ”

Gao Yang glanced at the place Catherine had indicated, and he immediately found a clearing, lowered the height, and Gao Yang could see a red car at one end of the clearing.

"I see you, but there's a question, this clearing is too small, isn't there a bigger place for me to land?"

Gao Yang was a novice after all, and from the air, he felt that the clearing was too small.

Catherine said helplessly: "This is our temporary airport, the open space has been cleared, there are no bushes, no stones and potholes, etc., if you want to land in a different place, it is not so easy, and the length of this open space is four hundred meters, and the length that can be used as a runway is at least three hundred meters, I think it is enough for you." ”

The open space is an irregular rectangle, wide at one end and narrow at the other, according to Catherine's number, it is indeed high enough to land, the problem is that from the air, the open space is really small.

There could be no more suitable landing site, Gao Yang could only land, circled in the air a few times, silently recited the essentials of landing, and then Gao Yang turned his heart sideways, and finally landed.

When Gao Yang landed the plane safely, Catherine was already waiting next to the car with a man, and when Gao Yang turned off the engine and jumped down, the two quickly met Gao Yang.

After a polite hug with Catherine, Catherine pointed to the man next to her and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Martin. F. Craig, our funder and tour leader, has asked to come with me to pick you up. ”

The man immediately stretched out his hand to Gao Yang, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Gao, it's great that you can come, the entire film crew is looking forward to your arrival,"

Gao Yang also smiled and said loudly, "Mr. Craig, thank you for coming to pick me up." ”

"Oh, just call me Martin, haha, Mr. Gao, of course I hope to see you sooner, because if we can get the picture we want this time, you are the key person."

After laughing, Martin stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Get in the car, Mr. Gao, our camp is about a mile from here, and we will be there soon." ”

At this moment, Catherine smiled at Martin and whispered, "Martin, can you go back to the camp by yourself, I want to take a walk with Gao San." ”

Martin made a look of abrupt realization, then he patted his head and said, "Ah, I'm such a stupid guy, of course, you can walk back slowly, it's not too far anyway, just pay attention to safety, hey, high, give me something, put the car up." ”

Gao Yang naturally didn't have any opinion on Catherine's request, and put the things he brought on the car, just carrying the shotgun on his back just in case.

The enthusiastic Martin quickly drove away, waiting for only Gao Yang and Catherine to be left, Gao Yang, who was trying to find a topic to speak, pointed to the plane and said with a smile: "There won't be any problem with this being thrown here, right?"

Catherine smiled and said, "If your problem is someone stealing, then you can rest assured." ”

Gao Yang also smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just casually saying, hey, Catherine, you're beautiful today, I mean, you look good." ”

Catherine reverted to the outdoor outfit that Gao Yang had when she first met her, with a shirt and shorts and outdoor boots, no powder, and a casual bunch of hair back, looking fresh and beautiful, and most importantly, healthy.

Hearing Gao Yang's praise, Catherine spread her hands and smiled: "Well, it seems that I am more suitable for life in the wild." ”

After casually making a joke, Catherine put away her smile and said to Gao Yang: "Let's talk while we go, it's not appropriate to let Martin and them wait too long, that's the case, the reason why I asked you to walk back with me is because there are some things I have to tell you in advance." ”

Gao Yang said curiously: "What's the matter?" ”

Catherine sighed slightly and said, "Martin didn't panic, now the entire film crew is really looking forward to your arrival, but to be exact, it should be Martin who is looking forward to your arrival the most, how to say, they hope you can be on TV." ”

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "On TV? How is this possible! ”

Catherine exhaled and said, "Of course I know you can't want to be on TV, okay, I'll start at the beginning, Martin is an independent producer, he used to work at the BBC, he is good at making documentaries, this time in South Sudan, Martin himself funded a documentary about animals and the environment, and in order to recoup the cost, he has to be able to sell the documentary." ”

After finishing speaking, Catherine looked at Gao Yang and said, "There are too many documentaries about animals now, this market is limited, and if there is a lack of a particularly popular hot spot, then it is foreseeable that such documentaries will not sell very well." ”

Gao Yang frowned and said: "I understand this, I think, I probably guessed what you want to say, is it that after discovering the traces of the Akuri tribe, Martin plans to shoot the Akuli tribe?" ”

Catherine nodded: "That's right, that's it, there are almost no real primitive tribes in this world, and the Acuri tribe undoubtedly belongs to the relatively most primitive kind, just like a living fossil, obviously, if the Akuli tribe doesn't want people to film their lives, Martin can't do it, and with you, this qiē will be different." ”

After thinking about it seriously, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "This is actually not a big problem, I can ask." ”

Catherine shook her head and said: "No, Martin doesn't just want to shoot the Akuri tribe, he wants to shoot in more detail, I didn't tell him all about your experience, I just chose a small part of what can be said to tell him, but this still aroused his interest, think about it, a modern person who has been accepted as a full member of the primitive tribe, this is very interesting, and with you, you can fully present the life of the Akuri tribe in front of the world, which means a documentary that is a big hit, so Martin hopes that you can be on camera in person." ”

Gao Yang immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "You should understand, this is absolutely impossible. ”

Catherine nodded, "Of course I understand, and I told Martin, but I have a lot of things I can't say, so he still retains his illusions." ”

Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Martin is destined to be disappointed." (To be continued......)
