Chapter 246: Stuck in the Quagmire
"Yuan Hao, we're discussing, it's a big deal, let's go to a place where no one is, you teach me." Shen Lan said softly, such a good blue sea and blue sky can't swim, what a cruel thing for her.
Listening to Shen Lan's words, Song Wenxiang's heart beat slightly, did that mean that it didn't matter in front of him? Thinking of this, I couldn't help blushing a little, did this mean that Shen Lan was ready to start planning to accept herself, but then she secretly scolded herself in her heart, if she didn't accept herself, how could she take it unscrupulously?
Although he was moved by the temptation in Shen Lan's words, Song Wenxiang still refused with righteous words, and refused to teach Shen Lan to swim no matter what.
After following Song Wenxiang to play on the beach for a while, the two went back, just in time to see the village walking outside with a few people in full uniform, Shen Lan couldn't help but be a little curious, so she stepped forward and asked, "Village chief, what are you doing here?" ”
The village chief saw that it was Shen Lan who was asking, so naturally it was not good to hide it at all, so he replied with a smile: "There is a quagmire on the other side of the mountain, and there are a lot of pigs and dragons in it, and I am about to take someone to catch a few and come back to add a dish to the banquet in the evening." ”
Pig Po Dragon? Shen Lan hadn't heard of it, but then a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, isn't the quagmire the crocodile pool over there? Could it be that these people are actually talking about crocodiles? Immediately became interested, Shen Lan had never seen catching crocodiles, but she had heard of it, and then she had seen it on TV, and she had never thought about hunting crocodiles. At this time, I saw that someone was going, and I was immediately interested.
"I'm going too." Shen Lan immediately spoke with interest, and Song Wenxiang on the side almost fell on the ground without his feet when he heard this, and immediately said with a stern expression: "No." ”
The village chief didn't even speak, what kind of mess is this guy messing with? Shen Lan immediately turned her head and glared at Song Wenxiang, and said in a depressed tone: "Why not?" I want to learn to swim, you don't agree, I'm going to see and catch crocodiles now, you're not allowed, are you too domineering? ”
"It's too dangerous. That's a pig dragon. A bite can directly tear the flesh off your body, in such a dangerous place, what are you doing as a woman? Song Wenxiang said angrily, is that a place where women can go?
The village chief on the side listened to this. On the contrary, I felt that this man named Yuan Hao was worrying about it in vain. Something can hurt the master on this island. In fact, he still had some expectations for his master to go with him, and it was not easy to catch the pig Po Long, who had rough skin and thick meat. And the teeth of the pig Polong are sharp, bite people and don't let go at all, they have to gnaw a piece of meat to stop, usually they and those pig Polong have always been well water and not river water, today just want to give the master a taste, this is to move Zhu Polong's mind.
As the old saying goes, the dragon meat in the sky, the donkey meat on the ground, although the village chief has never seen a donkey since he was born, but he has seen the pig dragon, even if it is not a real one, it is not with a dragon word, since you can't get donkey meat, you can only use this mortal pig dragon to replace the real dragon in the sky.
The master is like a fairy on this fairy island, and it is not difficult to subdue those fierce pig dragons at all, where there will be any danger, but watching the master talking to the man, he couldn't interject for a while, so he had to watch the two argue there, to see if they could wait for the result and then go to the quagmire.
"I don't go to the crocodile pool, just look at the shore again, and say I'm a fool? Do you stand still and wait for the crocodile to bite? Shen Lan didn't think much of Song Wenxiang's words, and after looking at the appearance of these people, she knew that she definitely didn't know how to catch crocodiles, although she didn't understand either, but she couldn't stand her well-informed, I had seen it on TV before, and most crocodile hunters used rings to catch crocodiles, as long as the crocodile's mouth was covered, the crocodile couldn't do anything, and she also saw a way to kill crocodiles from a novel about mercenaries, which was to put a spear into the crocodile's mouth.
The crocodile is the most protective of food, and the things that eat into the mouth generally do not let go, so when the crocodile bites the spear, the person holding the spear only needs to send the spear to the crocodile's mouth, so that the crocodile swallows it directly, the crocodile has a habit of rolling in the water, if someone holds the handle of the spear desperately, the crocodile misunderstands that the prey wants to escape, and will definitely bite the spear, and then will definitely carry out the stunt of death rolling, so that the fate of the crocodile can be imagined, the big crocodile skin is very thick, it is said that it is difficult to hurt it with bullets, Not to mention the backward weapons of this era, if you catch crocodiles according to Shen Lan's method, it is simply a quasi-catch, and there is absolutely no discount.
Song Wenxiang was pushed by Shen Lan, but he wanted to ridicule him, but he finally endured it, after all, this person is the person he likes, not an enemy, he didn't say those hurtful words to stimulate the other party, not to mention that the previous refusal of Shen Lan to learn to swim has made Shen Lan unhappy, if he stops it at this time, he will really make Shen Lan angry, so after thinking about it, he has to relax and say: "Really, just stand on the shore and watch?" ”
As soon as she heard this, Shen Lan knew that there was a door, so she immediately nodded vigorously, and raised her right hand and stretched out three fingers and said, "I swear not to go into the water." ”
Seeing this, Song Wenxiang was also a little helpless, so he could only say to the village chief: "Then let's go together." ”
"Ah, you're going too?" Shen Lan didn't plan to keep her agreement with Song Wenxiang, didn't she see her learn to make a bad movement with her left hand behind her back like those swearers on TV? If Song Wenxiang followed, then she would really have to stand on the shore, which was really sad.
"Of course, if I don't look down on you, who knows what you will do, and besides, if the pig dragon comes ashore, I can protect you." Someone, who had completely forgotten that he was still sick, spoke unashamedly.
Shen Lan looked at him with some distrust, could he really protect himself? In the outside world, Shen Lan must have no doubt, but on this space island, it seems that she doesn't need people to protect her at all, right? Thinking so, Shen Lan was not good at exposing people's shortcomings, so although she was very suspicious, she didn't say it.
Song Wenxiang was a little unhappy by Shen Lan. What kind of eyes does this girl have, although he has not killed any pig dragons, but it is definitely not a problem to protect this girl, he thought so in his heart but did not say it, but he thought a little negatively, if there is a pig dragon ashore, he will definitely not disappoint Shen Lan.
So the two people with their own thoughts greeted the village chief and said that they wanted to go together, and the village chief naturally couldn't ask for it, and immediately agreed happily.
"The village chief. What are you going to use to catch those crocodiles? Shen Lan asked. These people have ropes, machetes, bows and arrows, are they going to fight crocodiles?
"With a knife and a bow and arrows." The chief of the village naturally spoke, and occasionally someone would go hunting on the other side of the island, and everyone would use these weapons to kill those animals.
Shen Lan immediately shook her head. He sighed and said, "I know some way to catch those crocodiles." Just the village chief. This has taught you that you can't kill all those crocodiles. ”
Shen Lan was actually a little hesitant, humans were terrible creatures. Those crocodiles have never come to provoke these people, but now these people are thinking of ways to catch crocodiles in order to greet themselves, just to feast on them, although Shen Lan is not an environmental activist, and she also has a strong interest in hunting for wild meat, but she can't bear to have a race, the crocodile pond is a wetland, and it is very time to grow rice when it is developed, Shen Lan is worried that these people will not be able to help but kill the crocodiles for the sake of profit, so her sin will be great.
Hearing this, the village chief and Song Wenxiang didn't understand, those pig dragons were all bad things, why did Shen Lan maintain them like this? The village chief naturally didn't dare to disobey Shen Lan's words, so he immediately nodded yes, and said that he would also write this matter into the village rules in the future, so that Shen Lan was a little relieved, but Song Wenxiang didn't say much.
"There are two ways to catch crocodiles, one is to use a lock to cover their mouths, as long as they are trapped, they can't open their mouths, and they can't open their mouths naturally can't bite people, as for the other way is simpler, crocodiles are very protective of food, usually bite the prey is absolutely not loose, but will drag the prey into the water, and then roll desperately, this kind of rolling is called death rolling, the prey that is dragged into the water by the crocodile is not necessarily bitten to death, but drowned by the water, if we put the spear into the crocodile's mouth, So what happens to crocodiles? Shen Lan explained a lot before asking.
Suddenly, everyone thought for a while, according to Shen Lan's habits of the pig dragon, if the pig dragon really bit the spear, and then there was a death roll, wouldn't the sharp spear have to stir up all the internal organs in the stomach of the pig dragon, just think about it, everyone pinched a cold sweat for those pig dragons, but I didn't expect the master to look kind and kind, but the method he came up with was very vicious.
After listening to Shen Lan's words, the village chief couldn't help but ask innocently, "How are we going to make the pig dragon bite the spear and then make it roll?" ”
"Won't you keep some fish, shrimp or mussel meat tied to the spear?" Shen Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes, she wouldn't even be able to simply arrange a trap.
Over there, Song Wenxiang naturally saw Shen Lan's inelegant movements, and couldn't help but speak: "Lan Niang, don't roll your eyes in the future, it's ugly." ”
Hearing this, Shen Lan couldn't help but pout, is this guy too careful, but thinking so, Shen Lan has no need to object, such a big person, and rolling his eyes is really not very good-looking.
"Master, I'll let someone prepare what you said." The village chief spoke up at this time, secretly thinking in his heart, the master is too childish like this.
Shen Lan nodded, and the village chief turned around and asked people to prepare things, taking advantage of this gap, Shen Lan asked people to send a juice to himself and Song Wenxiang to quench their thirst, the island is rich in fruit resources, and the fruit is naturally not a rare thing, Shen Lan wants to drink it, and someone will naturally prepare it, roughly there are coconut water and orange juice.
As for other juices, which are more troublesome, Shen Lan does not advocate it, but Shen Lan alone on this island will be so particular, and everyone else eats fruit directly, or brews wine to drink, and juice is not popular.
When Shen Lan and Song Wenxiang finished drinking, the village's preparations were also done, although Shen Lan said that only spears and rope nooses were used, but there were still people with machetes and bows and arrows, and Song Wenxiang also asked the village chief to bring him a machete to carry with him for self-defense.
After getting ready, the group set off in the direction of the crocodile pond, walked for a long time and climbed over a mountain before entering the crocodile's territory, a large barren swamp.
Song Wenxiang looked at the mire in front of him, and his face couldn't help but darken, because he remembered that Shen Lan had sworn not to go into the water before, but this was a mire, where is the water, and this kind of thing on the shore is even more nonsense, so at the same time, he couldn't help but be glad that he followed, otherwise he wouldn't know how to be fooled by this girl.
Shen Lan, who was full of interest on the side, completely forgot about the previous oath, and was happily following a group of people there to discuss how to catch crocodiles, and the young men who came with her were still very convinced of Shen Lan, as long as Shen Lan's opinions, whether they were useful or not, they must first give a thumbs up, and then say anything else, so the picture at this moment is that Shen Lan is surrounded by a group of young and strong young men, one is foaming and talking about the strategy of catching crocodiles, and the people around her all show adoring eyes, and keep nodding and praising them.
Speaking dryly, Shen Lan finally finished talking about all the things she could think of, and then let the people who came with her start to act, in addition to water in this quagmire, there are swamps, which everyone did not expect, so at first everyone walked in and felt that there was more mud, but after walking for a long time, they found that something was wrong, because someone had fallen deep into the mud, and their legs could not be pulled out at all, and they were getting deeper and deeper, and Shen Lan disliked too much mud in the mire, she was afraid that there would be locusts and snakes and refused to go down, So he stayed with Song Wenxiang on the periphery of the quagmire, and of course the old village chief and another person named Zhao Yu stayed.
By the time the first person caught in the mud found out that something was wrong, more than one person had fallen into the mire, so he hurriedly asked for help from the people behind him, and if the rescue method was not proper in a place like the swamp, the rescuer would also be dragged in, so soon these inexperienced people faced such a dangerous situation, and they were busy calling for help from the people on the shore.
This call for help The village chief was also anxious, and he was going to take Zhao Yu to save people, thanks to Shen Lan's presence, otherwise I was afraid that the village chief and Zhao Yu would also feed the swamp and crocodiles, Shen Lan hurriedly stopped the village chief and Zhao Yu, and then ordered the village chief and Song Wenxiang to go to the woods to cut some branches out, and asked for the ropes they carried, tied the ropes together, and then tied a branch at the end of the rope, so that Zhao Yu used his greatest strength to throw the branches towards those who fell into the mire.
