Chapter 46: Lion Hunting
Xu Wenjie, who was on the road again, contacted the location of the army stationed here by phone, not far from the banks of the Mara River, and they were managing tourists watching the great migration of animals.
In addition, there is some protection for foreign media to prevent accidents.
"Dude, buddy, hurry up and look at the grassland on your left, damn it, it's so exciting, it's rare to see such a scene. Nima, this is the first time I've seen it in Africa. ”
Xu Wenjie heard the reminder and looked towards the grassland on the left, and at this time, Simba had already sat up and looked up at the grassland.
A group of lions is rounding up the wildebeest, the wildebeest has been surrounded by lions, and the lions behind are driving the wildebeest herd and running towards the lions in ambush ahead.
It is indeed not easy to see such a scene in Africa. Simba took a few looks, then lay down, for it, it was no longer challenging to catch its prey.
Because it is faster than other animals, more powerful than other animals, and larger than a wildebeest. It can be said that the current Simba, in addition to the existence of war elephants, even crocodiles and hippos may be killed by Simba.
Xu Wenjie and Zhang and the two ladies looked at it intently, it may be nothing for Simba, but for them, it is stimulation, this is the real predation of beasts.
"The little wildebeest is finished, and the slow-running wildebeest is not going to survive. Holy, these lions are so ferocious. ”
At the moment when a lion bit a wildebeest, the lion next to it instantly rushed over and tore the wildebeest down, and soon the wildebeest lost its resistance and was obviously bitten to death by the lion.
The other lions were still chasing the wildebeest, and did not stop because they had caught one. Moreover, it is impossible for a wildebeest to satisfy the food of the lions.
In the same way, with the same result, the young or old wildebeest eventually died in the bite of the lions, and became a delicious meal for the lions.
These prey lionesses do not eat their prey, they will drag the prey back for the male lions who protect their territory to enjoy first. Therefore, the lions in the lion group are generally enjoyed.
The old male lions, on the other hand, will be expelled from the lion pack, and the final result will be killed by the hunting dogs on the grassland, or murdered by the tricolor jackals.
This strange law of survival has been continuing on this land, and perhaps with the development of this land by human beings, this special animal living environment will eventually be broken by humans.
Xu Wenjie thought of Simba, who might have been the expelled lion and then attacked by some animal, which eventually led to injuries and waiting there to die. If it weren't for his presence, Simba might have become food for other animals by now.
Simba may have sensed Xu Wenjie's thoughts, looked up at Xu Wenjie, and then lay down in the carriage again.
"It's really bloody, if humans don't have weapons, if they encounter such a lion pack, there is only one way to die."
"This is the law of survival of the grassland, in fact, human society is more cruel than this, but this cruelty is hidden, unlike lions, ** naked performance. Alright, it's time for us to go. ”
Maybe it was because he saw the impact of the lion hunting, and Zhang didn't talk all the way, and Xu Wenjie was also thinking about things.
The two women who hitchhiked did not have the consciousness to leave. During the break just now, Xu Wenjie inquired about it, and the two of them also went to the Mara River to watch animal migration.
It's just that they were more unlucky, the team leader's car broke down and was towed back for repairs. And they didn't want to give up this journey, so they stopped the car on the road and prepared to take a ride.
It's a pity that on the prairie, few people will bring strangers temporarily, and only a guy like Talker Zhang, who is stupid and brained by sperm worms, will do this kind of thing.
Of course, Xu Wenjie didn't know whether it was the situation they said or not, but he was not afraid that these two people had any bad intentions. In Simba's situation, it was easy to kill two people.
And with his own strength, there will be no problem in killing the two.
The closer you get to the Mara River, the more cars are on the road. Moreover, on both sides of the road, there are some people who build houses like yurts.
It seems that the people here are not all lazy guys, and there are also businessmen who know how to make money with the resources here.
But Xu Wenjie soon discovered that these people were strange, and they were a little different from the black Africans he had seen.
"Haha, you don't know, these are the Maasai people, and they are also one of the more peculiar races in Africa. You see they're very tall, they never hunt wild animals, and they like to drink the blood of cows. By the way, they have a very high belief in cows, so don't kill them in front of them, or hunt animals or anything. ”
The Maasai people, Xu Wenjie has heard of it, and he really doesn't know anything about this race.
However, judging from the situation on the side of the road, this race may also be assimilated and changed in the near future, losing its unique culture and way of life.
However, these Maasai know that they are better than many Africans in order to make money from the great migration. At least they know how to use resources in exchange for what they need.
Not as lazy as other Africans, who don't know how to store food and exchange excess food for money.
As we approach the banks of the Mara River, there is already a bit of a congestion of vehicles, and over the years, with the news coverage of the area, the number of people coming here to watch the migration of animals has increased wildly.
In fact, on the Maasai Mara grasslands in Kenya, animals only stay here during the two months of the rainy season, from July to August. Once these two months have passed, the animals leave Kenya and return to Tanzania's Serengeti National Park.
Therefore, people who want to come to Kenya to see the great migration of animals are generally concentrated in these two months, and almost 200,000 tourists pour here every year.
With so many tourists, it is undoubtedly a huge burden for the grassland. Moreover, most of the people who come here come by car, which causes car congestion on the banks of the Mara River.
It's also terrifying to think about these "lawn mowers", the 1,500 square kilometers of grassland in the Masai Mara is enough for these guys to eat for two months. No wonder they have to make this great migration every year.
Without migration, no grassland can withstand this diet.
There are more tourists, there are people doing business, and there are many hotels here, but at this time, it is unlikely that you want to stay in a hotel here except for reservations.
Xu Wenjie didn't plan to stay in a hotel, he came to experience this kind of wild life, by the way, to see the animals, and plan what animals to contract next.
"Are there a lot of people here, do you two act on your own, or do you continue to follow us?"
Seeing that there were many beautiful women in the crowd, his enthusiasm for these two Yanmars was significantly reduced. There is a better pursuit, why do you want to guard these two women who are in good shape, but who look ordinary.
"We're following you."
Obviously, the two women were reluctant to leave, because with Xu Wenjie's words, they didn't have to worry about danger. Moreover, after knowing that Xu Wenjie knew the military here, he was even more reluctant to leave.
"Gone, are you still leaving?"
Mr. Xu has reached out to the military, who are not only protecting the safety of tourists here, but also preventing Tanzanians from crossing the border to Kenya.
When the two cars approached the barracks, Xu Wenjie found that there were many cars from other countries here. When I looked at it, it seemed that they were all interview cars from various countries.
It seems that there are many countries that come here to film the great migration of animals in East Africa, in addition to Europe, there are also American TV stations, and of course cars from China and some Asian countries are also among them.
Xu Wenjie's arrival attracted the attention of some people, you know, this is a military camp, not everyone can come in.
Soon, the chief here, a black strong man, ran out of it in a military uniform, and after Xu Wenjie handed him the small book, this guy also saluted him, which made Xu Wenjie a little speechless, and he couldn't understand what the little book was, it didn't seem to be a simple pass.
"General Noshwa has told me to keep you safe. May I ask where the guns you said are, and do you remember what the people who attacked you looked like? ”
The officer's attitude towards Xu Wenjie made the talker a little dumbfounded, and what was even more dumbfounded were the two ladies who followed. There are really very few Chinese Americans who can be recognized by the military here.
Except for the Europeans who once colonized the area, people from other countries rarely get the approval of the local military. Even if you have money, you can cooperate with them at most, and it is too difficult to recognize them.
"The people have been put down by me, the gun is in the car, let your people wait, I'll call Simba down first."
"Simba, get off."
Originally, Simba was lying in the trunk of the car, and from the outside, as long as you don't get closer, you can't see Simba. When Xu Wenjie shouted, Simba suddenly stood up, such a big lion, even the officer who was talking to Xu Wenjie was a little stunned.
Seeing those soldiers pointing guns at Simba, Xu Wenjie hurriedly said: "Let your soldiers not use guns against Simba, otherwise something will happen." ”
The officer had already reacted at this time, and found that Simba walked up to Xu Wenjie, staring at the soldier behind him with two eyes, and quickly stopped the dangerous movement of the soldier.
"Put down the gun and inform the people in the barracks that no one is allowed to point a gun at this lion." Then he turned to Xu Wenjie and said, "Sir, this lion is the biggest lion I have ever seen, and it is also the most majestic lion. ”
"Hehe, I fell in love with this lion, and those guys who attacked us were put to peace by Simba. Simba, go to the car and lie on your stomach, you are not allowed to go there without my orders. ”
When the officer saw Xu Wenjie speak, Simba walked to the wheel and lay down, even more awe and politeness to Xu Wenjie, and he also felt amazing to Simba.
"This is a divine lion that has been blessed by God. You go to the car and take the boxes down on it. ”
The situation here has attracted those people next to the interview car, especially the appearance of Simba, which has made many people's eyes light up, and someone has already walked over here.
ps: Now I have some strange thoughts in my head every day, usually before going to bed, as long as there are strange thoughts, I can't sleep, it's really depressing. Well, it may be a better idea to send a public welfare commercialization plan that comes to mind to the work, which can be regarded as sharing it with everyone.
