Chapter 311: Natives
A few baobab trees saved their lives, everyone drank enough water, regained their vitality, and the atmosphere in the group relaxed again.
Sure enough, the day after following the elephant herd, they found a long-lost source of water. It is a large lake, several kilometers in radius, enough for them to drink.
Li Shan hurriedly asked everyone to cut wood to make a waterwheel, preparing to bring the water back. At the same time, a large amount of water means a large number of animals. Zebras and wildebeests, which they had never seen before, were hunted and killed by Li Shan with his hands as food for them in the past two days.
In the evening, bonfires are lit, wild vegetables are gathered to make soup, and slaughtered zebras are grilled on the fire. After several days of difficult marching, there was finally time to rest.
Li Shan was lying on the grass and looking at the stars in the sky, he was not bored, on the contrary, he was doing a very important thing, studying the stars. In different regions of the northern and southern hemispheres, people see different astrological signs, and through this period of study and sailing experience, Li Shan has understood the importance of navigation. Now, as long as he has time, Li Shan will look at the stars and draw a star map.
Gadot walked over and sat down next to Li Shan and said, "What are you looking at?" The rice is already cooked, won't you go to eat it? ”
Li Shan got up and walked to the campfire, and said, "Okay, I'm starving, and I haven't eaten zebra meat yet, so I must try it." ”
Gadot grabbed Li Shan and said angrily: "Where are you running, why are you always avoiding me?" ”
Li Shan smiled: "How can there be? Didn't you say the rice was cooked? I'm in a hurry to eat. Saying that, Li Shan touched his stomach, and his stomach was still very face-grunting, Li Shan was indeed hungry, and he didn't eat much along the way.
Gadot smiled and said, "Okay, I know why you are avoiding me, I won't ask about your affairs in the future, and I won't force you if you don't want to say it." ”
Li Shan smiled, followed Gadot back to the bonfire, and the aroma of roasted zebra meat drove away Li Shan's unhappiness, and immediately feasted.
It's not that Li Shan is deliberately hiding, it's just that Li Shan really has no way to explain these things to her. For example, Gadot asked Li Shan why he knew that zebras were called zebras, but in fact, this name has not appeared yet, there is no such concept at all, and Li Shan cannot explain his experience of crossing with her.
For this attempt, Li Shan has been doing it to Liu Ruyan for several years, but they have never been able to fully understand Li Shan, what Li Shan said is tantamount to a fantasy, although Liu Ruyan and they want to understand Li Shan, but due to their limited knowledge content and the limitations of their world view, they really can't do it.
So Li Shan gradually gave up, for Li Shan, this loneliness was far more uncomfortable than other encounters. The reason why Li Shan has been unhesitating and adventurous. In order to find the fastest way to make this world closer to the world before me.
Li Shan has tasted the taste of power and experienced the feeling of being superior, but with the increase of power and wealth, Li Shan has become more and more eager to be recognized, accepted, and understood. But this is the most difficult thing to satisfy, and Li Shan finally has the feeling of being a saint. The truth of the world is in his hands, but he cannot teach others, which is really the greatest pain in life.
Gadot didn't know what Li Shan was thinking, but Gadot knew what he was thinking, and looking at the gobbling man in front of him, he always felt an indescribable love.
While everyone was enjoying this hard-won happiness, no one noticed that not far from the jungle, several pairs of eyes stared at the campfires, communicated in an unknown language for a while, and then disappeared into the darkness.
After eating and drinking, Li Shan was satisfied with lying in the tent and drawing his astrological chart.
Why are there tents?
Of course, this was built by Gadot's men. Li Shan has always eaten and slept in the open air, and he will not make special exceptions for himself. So whether it is a march to fight or this voyage to sea, although Li Shan's treatment is better than that of the crew, it is basically an ordinary treatment.
And Gadot is different, as the princess of the big food country, how can the princess of the dignified Arab Empire be wronged? Naturally, someone is taking care of it. Even in this case, her entourage carried tents and other utensils. That's why the consumption is so huge when you're on the road. In fact, Li Shan has always wanted Gadot to throw these away, but after all, the two sides are just fellow travelers, Li Shan has no right to take care of it, and Gadot is not the master that Li Shan can listen to.
But at this moment, Li Shan is still very grateful to them, without their hard work to bring the tent, at this time Li Shan is also going to fight the mosquitoes outside. After all, sleeping with a layer of mud on your body is not a comfortable thing, and you don't need to worry about this in a tent.
The tent with a diameter of seven or eight meters was divided from the middle by a curtain, and Li Shanzhan fought one-third, and the other two-thirds belonged to Princess Gadot. The bonfire shone on the shadow of Gaduo, and it seemed that he was changing clothes, although the shadow cast on the tent had been completely deformed, it still couldn't help but make Li Shan's thoughts fly. After all, he is a man with strong blood, and it is normal to have fire in his body after being adrift at sea for such a long time, and in such an atmosphere, it is naturally a little hot.
Li Shan hurriedly gathered his mind and reinvested himself in the star map he had drawn, but at this time, he saw Gadot coming over from her and asked, "Shall we go back tomorrow?" ”
Li Shan turned around and saw that Gadot should have just bathed in the country, his hair was steaming, and he didn't look like the mud and dirt of the previous two days at all, and he looked even more delicate and moving after changing his clothes again, his chest was full of snow white, and his neckline was slightly open, which made Li Shan's eyes lose his mind for a moment.
Fortunately, Li Shan is also experienced in a hundred battles, even if he woke up, he coughed awkwardly and said, "Ah, don't worry about it first." I'm going to send someone to pick up the wounded, and they should be almost well in the meantime. I think I can do a good job of exploring here and building a base. I guess I'll come back in the future, so it's better to make some preparations. ”
Gadot nodded, suddenly turned around on the spot, and said with a sly smile: "What were you looking at just now?" Do you think I'm beautiful? ”
Li Shan's careful thinking was seen through, and his face turned a little red when he boarded, but fortunately, he couldn't see it really under the dim hungry light.
Just as they were about to deny it, they heard the sudden sound of gold and iron clashing outside the tent, which was a trap they had laid around to prevent the invasion of the local natives.
Li Shan's expression was dazed, and he said, "There are outsiders, go and take a look." (To be continued.) )
