Chapter 309: Mosquitoes

Li Shan was overjoyed and finally found a place to land, according to Li Shan's positioning, they should now be south of Kilimanjaro, in the territory of what is now ********.

Although Li Shan is not completely sure of his thoughts, Li Shan's predecessor was an employee of a trading company, and he was engaged in the business of foreign trade and export, and his understanding of geographical routes is actually much better than that of ordinary people. Through the telescope, Li Shan could see the snow on the majestic mountains in the distance, and for the first time in the nearby mountains, it was impossible for snow to occur if the altitude did not exceed four thousand meters.

Judging the snow-capped peaks of the snow-capped mountains, Li Shan concluded that this mountain range was Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. And Kilimanjaro is the dividing line between ******** and Kenya, although these two countries do not appear now, but it provides Li Shan with a certain position reference.

The two ships docked one after another, and Li Shan's ship was running out of fresh water, although there was enough food, but because there were no fresh vegetables, the sailors' sepsis symptoms were obvious. Li Shan took 200 sailors, and now it seems that half of them have symptoms of septicemia to varying degrees. Princess Gadot's treasure ship was not much better, and the fleet of more than 200 people was also sick.

However, the joy of docking was still overflowing, and the sailors all got off the ship excitedly. Zheng Peng also let out a long breath, although he has been sailing at sea for twenty years, it is the first time in this unfamiliar sea.

Gadot still has lingering feelings about yesterday's storm, and only when he arrives on land does he feel a sense of steadiness.

Li Shandao: "Now we can't continue to sail forward, now we have arrived at a place that no one has ever been before, we must reorganize it and make full preparations before we can continue to move forward." ”

Gadot said: "So what do we do now?" ”

Li Shan looked at the dense forest in front of him, fortunately this is not an Amazon jungle, ******** belongs to the savannah climate, although there are a lot of shrubs along the seaside, but it is not tall, and Li Shan estimates that it will only take a day to pass through the dense forest to reach the grassland. "All the wounded and sick are stayed, and some people are sent to take care of them, and now they urgently need to supplement vitamins, let them dig wild vegetables around here to eat, and their symptoms will improve in a few days." We also left fresh water on the boat for them, and then we went inside to see if we could find a water source. ”

Although Li Shan saw the snow-capped mountains, but Kilimanjaro Mountain is still far away from here, Li Shan doesn't know if the water source can be found nearby, what Li Shan doesn't know is that they are now in the dry season of ********, and the water source is really difficult to find.

In such a difficult and unfamiliar place, Li Shan, who was unusually calm, naturally became the leader, and his words were inexplicably persuasive, and everyone consciously listened to Li Shan's words, including Gadot.

"Zheng Peng, go and count our crew, and see how many people can follow us except for those who remain. Princess Gadot, you should also go and sort out your manpower, now we have to act in unison. ”

Princess Gadot looked at Li Shan's methodical appearance, and suddenly felt very magical, how could this person never see him panicked? Is he really not afraid of death? Or does he really know everything?

Zheng Peng came back and reported: "We have more than 70 wounded and sick people, and 20 people have been left to take care of them, and now there are 104 people who can go with us. ”

Gadot also reported back and forth: "There are one hundred and fifty-three of our men who can go. ”

Li Shandao: "Okay, let everyone bring two days of water, food, and necessary weapons." We don't bring anything else, we set off. ”

Gadot said: "Li Shan, are you really so sure that what we are doing now is right?" ”

Li Shan smiled: "I don't know, but I know that one of the rules of survival in the wild is to find a water source as soon as possible." There is little fresh water on the seaside, and if we want fresh water, we have to go inside. Do you see the mountain in front of you? Where there are mountains, there must be water. ”

Gadot said: "It's really strange, how do you know these things?" I've always been curious about this journey, obviously exploring places that no one has ever set foot in, but it feels like you've been there a long time ago. ”

Li Shan smiled: "Actually, you really shouldn't come with me, I'm really risky, I can't estimate the danger here, it's very likely that you will die here with me." ”

Gadot said: "Who told you not to confess to me earlier, when I asked you, you swallowed and vomited, and hung my appetite high, so I followed you, but I didn't want to be such a chore." If I had given me another chance, I wouldn't have followed you to this place. ”

Soon, this strange environment taught them another lesson, because of the drought and hot weather in the dense forest, countless mosquitoes flew in the forest, this kind of mosquito is not as gentle as the mosquitoes at home, the blood sucking is extremely violent, and the skin of the person who is bitten will immediately be red and swollen, and the itching is unbearable.

Li Shandao: "Everyone wraps themselves in clothes, and smears some of the exposed ones with mud, so as not to be bitten by mosquitoes, otherwise it will be easy to fester." ”

Gadot had already wrapped himself tightly with a veil from beginning to end, but a piece of his face still had to be exposed, Li Shan walked over with a mess of mud and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be reserved, come on, I'll smear it on you." ”

Gadot is very resistant, for a woman, Gadot can endure the wind and sand blood on the battlefield, but this kind of mud is really unacceptable.

Gadot waved his hand and said, "I don't want it, I'm fine like this, don't worry about it." ”

Li Shandao: "If you don't wipe it, you will be bitten by mosquitoes sooner or later, is it possible that you can keep waving your hands to drive away, this mosquito will not sympathize with you, as long as you are a little tired, you will be bitten immediately, and your whole face will be swollen at that time." ”

Gadot didn't listen to Li Shan's scare, and said resolutely: "I don't want it, I'd rather be bitten than wipe this kind of thing, it's dirty." ”

Li Shanjian saw that Gadot resolutely disagreed, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this mud, this mud is mixed with a lot of good things, it has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, rubbing it on the face is good for the skin, apply it for an hour and then wash it with water, I guarantee that your face is a hundred times firmer and smoother than now." ”

When Gadot heard this, he was obviously a little moved, after all, women still have a love for beauty, and said to Li Shan in disbelief: "Really? You didn't lie to me? ”

Li Shan patted his chest and said: "Of course I didn't lie to you, I told you that this is my exclusive secret recipe, and I don't tell her about ordinary people." ”

Gadot dipped his fingers in mud and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, with a look of disgust, Li Shanyan quickly wiped Gadot's face, causing Gadot to scream. (To be continued.) )
