【Chapter 104】 A little follower
The sound of Suo Suo outside the tent quickly alarmed Liu Rui, at first he thought it was just the sound of the mountain wind blowing the tent, but as time went by, Liu Rui felt a little different.
Liu Rui turned on the flashlight and shone it out, but found that the sound outside the tent stopped immediately, and when he turned off the flashlight, the sound sounded again. After repeating this several times, Liu Rui was also a little irritable, opened the zipper, and got out of the tent.
Feeling that something seemed to skip under his feet, Liu Rui, who was trembling in his heart, hurriedly shone it with a flashlight, but found an unexpected visitor.
This afternoon, the little beast that encountered a suspected yellow-throated marten in the jungle was squatting not far from him, staring at two black eyes, looking innocent. The snow-white dazzling light of the flashlight did not make the yellow-throated marten flinch in panic, but it flipped its little short legs upside down and took two steps closer in the direction of Liu Rui.
Although it was a little strange why this yellow-throated marten appeared here, Liu Rui still didn't take much action, looked around with a flashlight, and found that there was nothing unusual and got into the tent again. If you are not a hunter, it is naturally impossible to hunt this yellow-throated marten, and it is not too threatening, so you don't need to pay attention to it.
However, to Liu Rui's surprise, the yellow-throated marten followed behind him and also got into the tent.
Liu Rui, who was a bit of a puzzled monk, turned around and stared at the yellow-throated marten, but he didn't find a trace of abnormality, and the yellow-throated marten's eyes were still staring at him very cutely.
"Xiao Rui, what's wrong?" Liu Rui's movement was still heard by Han Zhengbao in the tent next to him, and he asked.
"Teacher Han, there is a yellow-throated marten in my tent, and I can't drive it away!" Liu Rui waved a flashlight and tried to get the yellow-throated marten out, but it was indifferent.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and the yellow-throated marten felt a little bored, and went straight to the corner of the tent, ready to sleep. Liu Rui suddenly collapsed a little, what kind of animal is this? Uninvited, but also calm, anti-customer-oriented.
"Yellow-throated marten?" Han Zhengbao was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "It shouldn't be the one you met in the afternoon, right?" You picked up someone's prey and came to the door? ”
"That's the one, swaggering and sleeping in the tent right now." Liu Rui smiled bitterly. This is where it comes to the door, and it is simply its home.
"Don't touch it yet, be careful that it scratches you!" Han Zhengbao knew not to look at the harmless and cute appearance of the yellow-throated marten, but its claws and teeth were extremely sharp, and if it was injured, it would not be fun.
In the end, Han Zhengbao took a net bag, carefully covered the yellow-throated marten, and put it outside the camp. Seeing the yellow-throated marten disappear into the jungle under the light of the flashlight, Han Zhengbao and Liu Rui returned to the tent and continued to sleep.
Such a yellow-throated marten is not easy to catch, and it is impossible to kill and eat meat, so driving away is the best result.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and before Liu Rui could fall asleep, there was a sound of Suo Suo outside the tent, and the yellow-throated marten went and returned. At first, Liu Rui still had the patience to get this little guy out of the camp, but after repeated times, he became depressed.
After a few times, Liu Ruisuo, who was already a little sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, stopped caring about the yellow-throated marten, let it curl up in the corner of the tent to sleep, and he got into the sleeping bag and fell asleep.
After turning off the flashlight, the tent suddenly fell into darkness, and only the ghostly light of the yellow-throated marten's eyes flashed from time to time. In this way, a man and a beast slept in a tent in perfect harmony.
When he woke up the next morning, through the light of the sky through the transparent window, Liu Rui saw two dark eyes staring at him.
With a wry smile, he pulled away the yellow-throated marten that was lying in front of him and got out of the tent.
"Xiao Rui, that yellow-throated marten broke you last night, right?" Seeing Liu Rui get up, Han Zhengbao hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't know why it always wants to drill into your tent, but it's okay to ......." ”
Speaking of this, Han Zhengbao couldn't say any more, because he saw the yellow-throated marten coming out behind Liu Rui again.
Soon, the other people who got the news also came over a little strangely to look at the yellow-throated marten that was not leaving, and everyone pointed around it. Unlike yesterday, when he was a little afraid of people, today's yellow-throated marten has become much bolder, and he has no stage fright in the face of everyone's onlookers. He followed Liu Rui step by step, his eyes rolling slightly, as if he wanted to remember everyone.
After breakfast and packing up the baggage, the expedition team set off again. Unlike usual, today they ate a small tail behind them, and the yellow-throated marten has become Liu Rui's follower.
Liu Rui couldn't figure it out at all, why did this yellow-throated marten rely on him?
After thinking about it, Liu Rui was a little uncertain and suspicious, could it be that the aura of the stone beads on his body attracted it?
The aura in the space spring can attract fish and leper turtles in Xiaojing Lake, and it must also attract other animals. At first, Liu Rui thought it was because he rescued them.
However, as time passed, Liu Rui found that it seemed that the aura emitted by the stone beads attracted them, especially after the last time he entered the mountain, the stone beads absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy. Liu Rui thought about it for a while, and found that the closest distance between him and the yellow-throated marten yesterday was only one meter, and the aura emanating from his body must have been felt by this little guy, and he followed him with a dead face.
Thinking of this, Liu Rui looked at the little guy who was climbing on the branch next to him with a little amusement, it was deftly shuttling through the woods, and the speed was not slow at all.
In any case, the yellow-throated marten joined the expedition team, became a supernumerary member of the expedition team, and followed the team members on the road.
Yesterday, with the alder forest as the center, the surrounding area carried out relevant investigation activities, and after understanding some basic conditions of this area, the investigation team continued to march to the depths of Xiaoqing Mountain.
During yesterday's expedition, the team not only saw a large number of rare plants and typical rainforest vegetation, but also found a large number of jungle animals. Sambar deer, yellow dogs, civets, pangolins, pythons and all sorts of exotic birds make the jungle much more lively.
Unlike those plantations outside the mountains, where there are only pheasants and hares, the jungle in the depths of Xiaoqingshan has a rich chain of creatures, from the weakest herbivores to the most ferocious carnivores. Although they were not able to see it with their own eyes, Han Zhengbao and Wang Huaan concluded that there were a large number of wild wolves living in the jungle through the feces, footprints and food remains left in the jungle.
It is precisely this judgment that when the expedition team set off today, everyone put some daggers and other things in a convenient place, and there was also a simple wooden staff made of bamboo in their hands. After all, the surname of the wild wolf is ferocious, and no one knows what will happen if they encounter a wild wolf? Advance protection and the necessary weapons are always too much.
As the expedition team continued to enter the depths of Xiaoqingshan, the terrain became more and more precipitous, and the terrain became worse and worse. Mountains, valleys, forests, lakes, a large number of different landscapes are concentrated in a very small area, and although it looks beautiful, only those who are in it understand that every step forward has a great price.
Some places seem to be close at hand, but there are bottomless cracks blocking them, and the expedition team can only go around the cliffs far away, spending dozens of times longer to reach the destination. In some valleys, due to the accumulation of rains and the decay of leaves, swamps have slowly formed, and although they appear to be flourishing, they are dead places that eat people without seeing their bones.
Liu Rui saw with his own eyes that a yellow monkey who was alarmed by the investigation team ran into a valley full of puddles and quagmires in a panic, and was finally swallowed by the mud. In just a few minutes, there was no trace of the dozens of catties of yellow monkeys, only a few bubbles floating on the water.
In some jungles, fallen leaves and animal carcasses rot in hot climates, combined with years of humidity, which can breed miasma. Miasma is divided into tangible and intangible, without exception will cause a great threat to the human body, once contaminated, without drug rescue, ten of the ** can not live.
Walking in the rainforest, the most terrifying thing is not those poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, but these miasma, in the past, the horse gang walked in the jungle of the southwest border, the biggest danger is these miasma, I don't know how many horsemen have been buried in this vast forest sea.
This time in the mountains, in order to prevent the miasma from harming the bodies of the members of the expedition team, the expedition team brought artemisinin, quinine and other drugs. Liu Rui also got a lot of secret pills from Zhang Huaizhong, and asked each member of the investigation team to take one a day to avoid the invasion of miasma.
The many crises in the jungle are very frightening to Liu Rui and other young people, after all, the last time I went into the mountain, because the distance was after a certain choice, it was the safest road. After entering the mountain for a few days, the team members did not encounter too many difficulties, but this time, the team had to conduct a detailed investigation of the entire area, so they could not choose shortcuts.
Although they had only been in the mountains for two days, the investigation team had encountered countless treacherous places, and if it weren't for the various medicines and advanced equipment they were carrying, they really didn't know if they could continue to persevere.
Fortunately, the investigation team is led by veterans such as Wang Huaan and Han Zhengbao, and in the face of these dangerous places, they can find in advance and come up with the best countermeasures.
Under the leadership of several teachers, Liu Rui, Fu Xiaoqiang and others also grew up rapidly, with theoretical support and practical work, they quickly adapted to everything in the tropical jungle.
The thick protective leather boots on the boat, the long-sleeved canvas protective clothing, the bare skin on the face and hands rubbed with a layer of insect repellent potion, and even a betel nut in their mouths, this is Liu Rui's image in the jungle.
They are unraveling the mystery of Xiaoqingshan step by step!
