Chapter 57: Jungle Danger
This time they were going to a bush called the acacia tree, which belongs to the deciduous thorny shrub, which has great economic value, and when it blooms, the essence of perfume can be extracted from the flowers, and the roots and pods can be used as black dye.
Giraffes are the most fond eaters of this tree's leaves, so this strange African acacia tree has been evolving itself to resist giraffe consumption.
The seven-year-old African kid who worked as his tour guide earned only enough money for his family to feed and clothe the family. From him, Xu Wenjie found that it is not for nothing that African children are precocious.
In Africa, you rarely see older people, usually people here die when they are fifty or sixty years old, which is a very strange phenomenon, which may have something to do with the natural environment and food nutrition.
The car drove to the woods and could only stop, Xu Wenjie took out his gun from the car and followed the little kid named Paro towards the woods.
You have to be very careful when walking in this kind of woods, because if there is an accident, you may die here.
Paro was much more flexible than Xu Wenjie, and it could be seen that he should often walk in such woods. Moreover, he does not seem to be afraid of poisonous insects and beasts in the woods, which may have a lot to do with his living environment, and he has no awareness of danger at all.
Xu Wenjie reminded him several times, but Paro just smiled at him and didn't care.
"Here you go, eat something first, drink some water, and then move forward later."
Paro did not refuse the food, and after saying thank you to Xu Wenjie, he took the food. Maybe it was the first time he had eaten bread, and he looked cautious and smiled.
"Do you often come to woods like this?"
"Well, we need to come here and look for food."
Xu Wenjie thought that the food he said was animals, but he soon thought that it was wrong, as for animals, there were many on the grassland outside, and it seemed that there was no need to come here to look for them.
"What kind of food are you looking for?"
Who knows, Paro stuffed the half-eaten bread into the small bag he carried, ran quickly towards the bushes next to him, and soon walked back with a plant that looked like a wild vegetable in his hand.
"That's it, mash it and add some salt, and you're ready to eat."
Xu Wenjie took the wild vegetables in his hand, pulled a little tender leaf from it, put it in his mouth and tried it, and spit it out in an instant.
This taste, how can they stand it, it is sour and a little bitter, a very strange taste, and it feels really unpalatable. Xu Wenjie was a little incredulous, they used this plant as a vegetable to eat.
It seems that the kind of roasted bananas, banana bibimbap, pineapple bibimbap or something that he can't accept, are already considered top-notch food. Compared to this dish, it is definitely delicious.
In fact, Xu Wenjie wanted to ask him, why don't you grow your own vegetables, but after thinking about it, a child can't answer this kind of question at all.
Perhaps, in the minds of these Africans, there is no such idea as growing their own vegetables and eating them. You know, most of the fruit trees they eat are wild, and no one will think of planting some fruit trees themselves.
After resting for a while, the two continued on the road, but when passing through a forest, Xu Wenjie saw several cheetahs in the trees and was startled.
But Paro walked over as if he didn't see it at all. And those cheetahs didn't even look at Paro.
Damn, these cheetahs are guaranteed to be full, so they will ignore humans, Xu Wenjie thinks so, as for whether the cheetahs are full, they can only ask those leopards.
As he went deeper into the woods, the animals began to multiply, and Palau began to pay attention to the movements in the woods. Xu Wenjie found that he could easily find any food in the woods that could be eaten, and avoid the poisonous animals.
This is exactly what a wilderness survival expert can do, and I didn't expect a seven-year-old child to do it. I don't know what the final result will be when Bei Ye and these Africans survive in the wild.
As he walked, Paro suddenly stopped, and then pointed to the top of a tree for Xu Wenjie to see, a snake was coiled on the branch. If you don't see it, walk by there, the snake that is not poisonous is fine, but the poisonous one is bitten and will definitely die here.
"Bang."
With one shot, Xu Wenjie broke the snake in two, and this thing panicked when he looked at it. After a while, Paro walked over and got the snake down from the branch, then found a branch and tied the bleeding wound and put it in his pouch.
Needless to say, it must be taken back as a dish to eat, Xu Wenjie didn't say anything about it, snakes, as long as they are handled well, they are indeed a delicacy.
"The killer bee's nest isn't far from here, just ahead."
"Let's go, then."
If he can solve this problem today, he still has time to drive around here.
Soon, Xu Wenjie saw the nest of the killer bee, looking at the oval bee nest with a diameter of more than one meter, he felt a little incredible, this is almost a person's size, how many killer bees are in it.
However, now the question also comes, how to get the queen bee out of such a hive?
"Paro, do you know any way to get the queen bee out inside?"
"Queen bee, just get the hive down and look for it inside. However, this kind of bee sting can be poisoned, and we usually only get some honey from it, so we don't anger them. ”
Well, it seems that there is no other way, you still need to be fully armed and attack the hive directly.
"Paro, you get out of here first, I need to find the queen bee from the hive, I need to destroy the hive, there may be a lot of killer bees attacking people in a while."
When Paro heard Xu Wenjie's words, he reminded Xu Wenjie to pay attention to safety, and then ran out directly, he often moved in the woods and knew how powerful killer bees were.
Xu Wenjie took out the prepared diving suit, the thickness of this thing, I believe that no matter how powerful the killer bee is, it is impossible to pierce it. After putting his backpack aside and putting on his wetsuit, Xu Wenjie found a problem, that is, his hands could not be exposed.
However, this will not bother him, and after finding the queen bee later, he can use the knife to make a cut in the palm of his hand.
I took out the prepared bag from the bag, this thing is mainly used for the hive, and of course, the honey in the hive, this is really natural, pollution-free honey.
When everything was ready, he walked towards the hive, and by this time some of the killer bees had already spotted him and flew straight towards him. It's a pity that all sealed wetsuits, they simply can't be pierced.
Standing in front of the huge hive, Xu Wenjie used the knife in his hand to slowly dig from a position in the hive. I don't know where the queen bee is, but it's not wrong to dig into the middle of the hive.
Watching the dense killer bees fly out of the hive, this situation made Xu Wenjie a little frightened. If he hadn't had his wetsuit, he would have died here today.
Digging, digging, digging, digging and digging, all the pieces of honey that were dug out were put in the bag, and even the broken beehives were put in.
Ten minutes later, a large hole was dug out of the hive, and the harvested honey was already more than a dozen catties. The killer bees besieging him were already densely packed, and his whole body was lying on his stomach.
When he dug into a place that looked golden and more beautiful than other honey colors, Xu Wenjie knew that he was not far from finding the queen bee, and these should be royal jelly, what the queen bee eats.
Soon, a guy twice the size of the other bees appeared in front of him, needless to say, this guy was definitely the queen bee. Seeing that it didn't move, Xu Wenjie stopped, if this guy flew away, he would have lost all his efforts.
He made a cut in the wetsuit with his knife, and quickly grabbed it towards the queen bee. Nima's, if you're not happy, you can't do it, if you delay his hand, he may be stung into a bear's paw by a killer bee.
The queen bee wanted to run away at this time, but unfortunately it was too late. The hole dug by Xu Wenjie was large on the outside and small on the inside, and his hand was just right to block the hole, and when the queen bee touched his palm, the contract directly established a connection with the queen bee.
Seeing this situation, Xu Wenjie hurriedly ran to the back, now his hand is outside, before the queen bee contract is completed, he doesn't want to be stung to death by these killer bees.
Three minutes later, when Xu Wenjie stood here again, the diving suit on his body had been taken off, and in the palm of his hand, there was a killer bee the size of a thumb head, this guy was the queen bee, twice the size of the other killer bees.
The killer bees that flew out have all returned to the hive. Xu Wenjie cleaned up the bee chrysalis dug up on the ground, then took out a folded box from the bag, opened it, and put the queen bee inside.
As for the huge hive, and the killer bees inside, he had to take them all away, otherwise there would be only one queen bee, and it would be useless.
The hive is so large that it can only be carried in a bag, and it looks like a giant animal carcasse. If it weren't for the control of the queen bee, all the killer bees in it would fly out and definitely sting him to death several times.
Moreover, if his strength hadn't increased a lot, he might not have been able to get this huge hive outside.
In half an hour, when Xu Wenjie came out of the woods, Paro was waiting for him next to the car outside, and it seemed that he trusted Xu Wenjie very much to get out of it safely.
"To your little one, these are the rewards for you, and the money is your reward."
Qian Xu Wenjie didn't give much, because he knew that giving too much money to this child would only cause trouble for himself. Sending him to the village, Xu Wenjie took out another bag of food from the car and handed it to the little guy, plus the honey, it should be able to let him eat a few good meals.
Instead of staying here, Xu Wenjie drove directly towards Tsavo West National Park, and since he came, he just went there to explore and learn about the migration of animals.
