Chapter 139: Jungle Exploration (Part I)

On the vast Rocky Plains, Pei Pei rode on horseback and followed old Lem.

At first, old Lem took her along the winding of the plain road, riding a horse on the right side of the road, and you could still see speeding cars on the road from time to time.

Because the weight of the two horses is not light, not only to bear the weight of two large living people, but also a lot of large bags of equipment, so the old Lem has been controlling the speed of the horses.

After about forty minutes of walking along the road, after turning a fork in the road, the direction of old Lyme was clearly off the road. Soon, the plain road disappeared behind Pei Pei.

After another half hour or so, a rolling mountain seemed to faintly emerge from Peipei's vision.

"See there?" Old Lem pulled the reins, and the horses beneath him slowed down. Old Lem stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the rolling mountains, then turned to look at Pei Pei, "We will soon enter the pristine mountain forest area. I said, little Peel, you're going to go on a thrilling jungle adventure with Uncle Lime soon! Ready to get started? There are a lot of ferocious beasts in there, huh? Old Lem deliberately frightened.

Pei Pei glanced at Old Lyme, and after a "snort", she grinned at Old Lyme, "I was trying to hunt some game at noon!" Driving—" She flicked her whip and took the lead in galloping in the direction of the mountains.

Old Lyme laughed, the horsewhip was raised, the horse under the crotch followed the flying dust behind Peipei, and the two horses chased and galloped in the direction of the mountains and forests.

Soon, the two horses galloped into the jungle area below the mountains.

Looking at the endless lush jungle in front of her, Pei Pei knew that the next step was to officially begin the jungle adventure.

"Do you need to get off the horse and walk now?" Pei Pei asked Old Lem.

Old Lem shook his head. Answer: "You don't need to walk on two legs yet, there are not so many bushes at the foot of the mountain, and you can ride a horse for a little longer." Waited until they reached the area of dense bushes. We're going to get off and lead the horses on our feet. But—"

Old Lem rolled over and dismounted, "Before entering the jungle, though." We also need to check the gear! ”

When Pei Pei heard this, she immediately turned over and dismounted.

After getting off the horse, Old Lime took out a spray-like bottle from his bag and handed it to Pei Pei, and then said to Pei Pei very strictly:

"We're going to go into the real jungle area next. Inside the jungle, there are a lot of dangers! Ferocious beasts are one of them, and the most unstoppable are small creatures such as poisonous insects and mosquitoes! This bottle is my own insect repellent, and you can spray it on your bare face, neck and hands to prevent poisonous insects and mosquitoes. ”

After thanking Old Lyme, Pei Pei took the bottle and sprayed it on one hand. After spraying, she raised her hand to the tip of her nose and sniffed it. It was an indescribable smell, like tobacco but with a mint smell and even a faint stench.

Pei Pei wrinkled her nose, didn't ask how this thing was matched, and sprayed all the exposed parts of her body with a spray head, even on her face.

When she had finished spraying, she handed the bottle back to Old Lem.

Old Lem took the bottle and put it back in his bag, and he pulled a revolver from his belt. After checking the safety bolt and ammunition, he bowed to Peipei's crossbow equipment hanging from the saddle and said, "Take out the crossbow arrows." Check it out, then gear it up. ”

Pei Pei took off the crossbow equipment from the saddle, loaded the sword case, and checked the fastening part. After confirming that everything is correct. She nodded at Old Lem with a crossbow arrow and said, "I've checked it, and there's no problem." ”

As soon as Old Lyme saw the girl in front of him holding a crossbow arrow, he knew that this was a complete new hand. He sighed, stepped forward and took the bolt from Pei Pei's hand, "Raise your arm!" ”

Pei Pei raised her right arm in confusion.

"It's the left hand!" Old Lem stared.

Pei Pei put down her right hand, smiled at Old Lem with a weak smile, and raised her left arm again.

Then I saw old Lem pinching the straps on both sides of the crossbow arrow, and skillfully tied the crossbow arrow to Pei Pei's left lower limb arm. After tying up, he said, "Move your arms up and down." Try it for flexibility. ”

Pei Pei obediently raised and lowered her left arm, and after a few attempts. She nodded at Old Lem, meaning that the bolt was tied in the right place. It does not affect her physical movements.

"You shoot two arrows and let me see." Old Lem was already doubting the truth of what Pei Pei had said before, which was good at crossbow arrows. So he walked up to a large tree thirty paces away, took a pack of tissues from his pocket, tore out one and shook it open, then stooped down and pulled a dagger from his trouser leg.

Then he nailed the white tissue to the trunk of the tree with a dagger, and then looked at Pei Pei: "Shoot at this target!" ”

Pei Pei pursed her lips, do you need to believe her so much? Fortunately, she still has the killer weapon of divine sense! Archery? Mere trifle!

She took a deep breath and calmly raised her left arm, using her divine sense to firmly lock onto the crossbow arrow's crosshair and the distant target.

Then, she pulled the trigger, and the bolt shot out in a hurry—

"Ding-" The crossbow bolt hit the bull's-eye accurately.

"Do you want to test me again?" Pei Pei lowered her arm and raised an eyebrow at Old Lem.

Old Lem glanced at the little girl, and after a "snort", he pulled out his dagger and short arrow, and walked back to Pei Pei's side.

This time, he didn't dwell too much, but directly helped Pei Pei put the short arrow back into the sword box.

Then Old Lem put the dagger back into his trouser leg. When this qiē was done, he walked back to his horse and turned over directly on the horse.

"Get on the horse, we're going to keep going." Old Lem shook the reins.

Pei Pei quickly climbed into her horse, followed old Lem, and marched deep into the thick jungle—

Under the leadership of old Lem, Pei Pei drove the horse under her crotch and jogged through the trees at a uniform speed.

The further you go in, the taller and denser the trees become.

At first, the sunlight could shine on the ground through the branches at high places. Gradually, the trees became denser and the sunlight penetrated fewer and fewer gaps. The two horses also gradually changed from jogging at a constant pace to walking through.

"We have to get off the horse and walk for the road ahead!" Old Lem waved at Peipei. Be the first to turn over and dismount.

After dismounting, he took off his backpack and calmed the horse. He hung his unloaded backpack in the saddle.

In an unfamiliar environment, Pei Pei's every move closely follows the experienced old Lem. She saw that old Lem had dismounted. Immediately turned over and dismounted.

Then, without waiting for old Lyme to come forward to help, she had already learned the movements of old Lyme very clearly, and took off her rucksack and tied it to the saddle.

At this time, she raised her hand and looked at her watch, and it was almost a quarter past ten in the morning.

Old Lem stepped forward to check whether Pei Pei's bags were fastened, and after confirming that they were qualified, he said, "Lead your horse." We're going to start walking. ”

With that, Old Lem took the reins and took the lead in striding deeper into the jungle.

As soon as she heard that she could continue to set off, Pei Pei became excited again. She walked back to the horse, took the reins, and followed old Lyme into the depths of the jungle—

Old Lem led the horses to the forefront, and as he went, vines and bushes stood in the way from time to time.

He had no choice but to take out the dagger stuck in his trouser leg again, and this time he pulled out the dagger on his left and right legs, handed one of the daggers to Pei Pei, and then commanded Pei Pei to go together. Clear the bushes and vines that block the way out of the way.

The vines that stand in the way only need to be cut down, but the bushes are not so easy to clear. Along the way. There were a few places where the bushes were very dense, and old Lem simply took Pei Pei and went straight around them.

The two of them walked for nearly an hour. There were no dangerous animals encountered on this part of the road, but from time to time there were golden pheasants and hares that were alarmed while Old Lime and Peipei were clearing the bushes, and escaped from the bushes.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Pei Pei vaguely seemed to hear the sound of the stream flowing.

Old Lem turned back to Pei Pei and grinned: "There is a water source not far ahead, let's go to the water's edge to rest and let the horses drink some water, and then continue on our way." ”

Pei Pei was already sweating at this time, and she wished she could sit down and rest for a while. So. As soon as she heard that she could rest at the water source for a while, she immediately urged old Lem to speed up.

Pei Pei stepped up her pace behind old Lem. After walking for a while, a rushing stream finally appeared in the sight of the two.

After seeing the creek. Old Lem did not step forward directly, but looked around the banks of the stream vigilantly. After making sure that there were no large beasts, he beckoned to Pei Pei behind him, signaling that she could follow.

Then he handed the reins in his hand to Pei Pei and explained softly, "Although it is noon at this time, there is still a possibility that some beasts will come to the water source to drink during this time. Therefore, when you see a water source in the depths of the jungle, you must first make sure that it is safe near the water source. ”

Pei Pei humbly listened to the experience of this jungle regular. After listening, she nodded very attentively.

Old Lyme is very satisfied with Pei Pei's appearance on this way, not squeamish, not causing chaos, and very humble! Therefore, the old man smiled with satisfaction, and after bowing his lips to the reins held by Pei Pei Pei, he said, "You first lead these two horses to the river to drink, and after drinking water, find a tree on the bank and tie these two horses." ”

Pei Pei immediately obediently took the two reins and pulled the two horses towards the river.

When the two horses had finished drinking, she led them to a large tree not far from the shore.

After tying up the two horses, Pei Pei walked back to Old Lem.

At this time, Pei Pei already felt some hunger in her belly, she squatted beside Old Lyme and asked, "When can we eat and cook on the fire?" ”

Old Lem was squatting on the shore at this time to wash his face, and after hearing Peipei's question, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out a handkerchief first, wiped the water droplets off his face, and then pointed to a row of footprints not far from his feet, and replied to Pei Pei:

"See? These are the footprints of a herd of deer! Then he pointed to another footprint and said, "These are the footprints of a lynx!" If you look closely on this shore, there may be footprints of wolves and jaguars! Therefore, the truly experienced jungle explorer will never light a fire at the water source to cook or camp. We'll just take a break at the water source now, and I'll show you a little bit and catch a fish in this stream, and then Uncle Lime will take you to a safe place to make a fire and cook. ”

"Fishing?" Pei Pei was excited, "We don't have nets or fishing rods, how can we catch them?" ”

Old Lem smiled and replied, "Go and get me a branch." Uncle Lime will show you a spearfish trick! ”

"Forking fish with branches? You'll have to teach me in a moment! I'll get you a branch now!" Pei Pei immediately got up excitedly and turned around and walked in the direction of the woods.

After a while, she chopped down a branch and came back, "Uncle Lyme, do you see this branch?" ”

Old Lem took the branch, and the thickness and length of the branch were just right! He nodded, took out his dagger, and slashed at the end of the branch. While cutting him, he instructed Pei Pei, "Little Peel, take advantage of this moment, you go to the bushes and pick up some dry branches and come back." If you see a hare or pheasant, you can also drop by and come back. Just use your crossbow arrows! ”

"Okay! Look at me! Mission completion guaranteed! Pei Pei stretched her left arm and walked excitedly towards the bushes.

"Don't go too far! Did you hear that around here? Old Lem looked up and shouted at Pei Pei's back.

"Got it—" (To be continued)

ps: In order to create a real jungle scene, after the two chapters were uploaded last night, Ah Meow re-found this show. After rewatching three episodes about jungle survival scenes, Meow finally found a clue.

According to the setting, the next to appear is the Indian warrior "Fierce Bull", who has appeared once. In order to describe the two figures of Old Lime and Fierce Bull in the jungle, I am going to use Bell Grylls as a reference. But—

There is only one Bell Grylls in this world, and he is the only one who can be recognized by the whole world as "the man at the top of the food chain"! Therefore, book lovers should not expect Meow's old Lime or Fierce Bull to have the jungle adventure like Bell.

Book friends, please take a look. If you want to see a real version of the jungle adventure, Meow still recommends everyone to watch it to really understand why Bell is recognized by people all over the world as "the man who stands at the top of the food chain"!

In the end, Ah Meow bowed his hand, all book friends, please hold a money field (ask for a reward)! If you don't have money, you can hold a personal field (ask for recommendation votes, pink tickets)!
