Chapter 652: Midnight Terror
These oysters are definitely alive because they are still crawling, and whenever the waves retreat from the reef, they stand up like leaves on the reef. Although Hong Tao was greedy, he didn't dare to eat these things raw, he couldn't hold whether these things were oysters or not, because there were too many of them, according to habitual thinking, if there were suddenly too many good things, there would definitely be something suspicious, so Hong Tao decided to take a closer look tomorrow morning, if so, it would not be too late to eat.
With daytime things, it is much more convenient to sleep at night, there is no need to set up a second tent, the three of them sleep together, and it is also a Class A sleep, and the sleeping bag is also connected together, turning into a large duvet. But no one tossed at night, even swimming and fighting during the day, the physical strength consumed was a bit too much, Hong Tao regretted it very much, why didn't this fish scale water have some aphrodisiac effect!
In the midst of infinite regret and YY, Hong Tao didn't know which of the sisters fell asleep with his arms around his waist, and he also had a dream in his sleep, in which he, Erin, and Katie all became natives, and there were only a few leaves on their heads all over their bodies. Three people rowed a small raft to fish in the sea, there are many fish in the sea, and they are not afraid of people, a few meters long large tuna is cruising back and forth under the raft, but they don't bite the hook!
Then the sky suddenly darkened, and the wind blew the broken sails on the raft, and the waves surged onto the raft, although it was summer, but it was bitterly cold.
"The storm is coming, the storm is coming! Paddle back! Hong Tao shouted as he rowed hard with Erin Katie, but the wind actually blew from the interior, blowing the small raft farther and farther away, and soon the coastline was out of sight.
"It's over! We're done with it this time! Hong Tao looked at the huge waves churning on the sea, looked at his small raft again, and reluctantly stopped the oars in his hand.
"We're going to die anyway, so let's do it once!" It was Katie who suddenly pounced. rode directly on Hong Tao.
"You scumbag! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have floated to sea, I won't do it! Hong Tao roared and woke up from his dream.
"Holy! This dream is quite real...... My hands are still wet! Hong Tao secretly moved one of his thighs away from himself, suddenly raised his hands wet, and quickly reached out to turn on the tent light.
"Where's the water?" Turning on the light, Hong Tao found that the creases of the moisture-proof mat were already soaked.
"Erin, Katie, don't sleep, it's flooding!" Hong Tao's sleepiness disappeared immediately, he opened the tent door and looked out from the light of the tent lamp, and the cave was already full of water. Their shoes were floating, and they were spinning back and forth with the waves.
Hong Tao didn't care whether he was wearing clothes or not at this time, first pulled the two sisters up by his hair, then took out the camera, watch, mobile phone and other things from the tent, and then took the backpack containing documents and money in his hand, and walked towards the entrance of the cave by wading through the water.
"Hong Tao! What's going on? Erin finally woke up and asked, touching the bottom of the wet tent.
"Don't ask, pack up your things and push the tent out. I guess it's a big tide, this is our fate, if the tide is a little stronger, it will suffocate us in the hole. Come out and don't get dressed yet! "Hong Tao has reached the entrance of the cave, and the water here is knee-high.
At this time, it was still dark outside the cave, and the fishing and hunting lights were soaked by the seawater. It was already unlit, and Hong Tao and Sister Erin could only pull the tent, as if dragging a house on the water. According to the memory, he groped his way up the edge of the cliff. The waves outside the entrance of the cave are very big, one after another on the tent, not to mention, the waterproof level of this tent is worthy of 4000 mm, has been soaked in the water, plus the washing of the waves, the outer tent is not leaking, and the inner tent has not seeped much water, at least it can be dragged.
In the end, the three of them slouched up from the cliff path and found the SUV parked not far away, which was considered to have clothes to wear. It turned out that the clothes were all in the tent, and they were probably soaked for a long time. The tent was also considered to be at the end of its life, and when he climbed up the cliff, Hong Tao thought it was in the way, so he directly broke the tent poles, and dragged the tent up like a dead dog.
At this time, the sky was already very gloomy, and the wind outside was even more gloomy and cold, and the three of them didn't have time to find any suitable clothes at night, so they could only put on a few pieces casually, and then start the engine, and make do with the hot wind for half a night.
Blessings are not double, disasters are not singular!
In the early hours of the morning, it began to rain outside, and it was not small, and the three of them had no choice but to wait in the car, although the clothes were already worn, but the tent was still thrown outside, and there were everyone's clothes and some sundries inside, even if the tent could be scrapped, those things still had to be taken back, so they had to wait for the rain to clear.
In the end, the tent was abandoned, not only the support pole was broken by Hong Tao, but the inner tent was also poked out of a few holes by the broken pole, it must not be used, fortunately, Hong Tao brought a total of two tents, with the intimacy of the three of them now, living in a tent is too spacious, just right.
In addition to the tent, the fishing and hunting lights are also finished, whether it is the battery into the water or the lamp head into the water, there is no need to repair, seawater is a deadly poison for electrical appliances. Speaking of poison, Hong Tao's mobile phone was also poisoned, and when Hong Tao was cleaning up in the cave, he forgot to take out the mobile phone in the storage bag in the inner tent, and as a result, he also soaked in seawater.
In addition, there is nothing too valuable to be damaged, and the sleeping bag is definitely not needed, and the down inside makes the sea water soak, and even if it is dried, it becomes a piece, and it is not warm at all. And Erin and Katie took off their underwear was also soaked, and they didn't plan to ask for it again, so everyone finally packed all these items that they were going to throw away into the tent, tied them into a large bag with rope, stuffed them in the trunk, and continued to start the rest of the journey.
There are a lot of small towns along the road in southern Australia, and the most luxurious buildings are churches, then a bar and hotel, and finally a small supermarket and post office.
Europeans call Americans farmers, and Americans call Canadians farmers, but after arriving in Australia, Hong Tao felt that life outside the big cities here was really simple. The family guards a large meadow with little entertainment other than grazing, and the adult man may go to the town's bar a few times a week to sit in a bar other than drinking, and everyone chats with each other about the year's market. And the children and women were in the pasture, and there was nothing to do.
The barbecue party is the most common entertainment here, and several people who live close to each other get together to barbecue meat, drink, sing, and dance, and it is quite happy. In addition, going to church to pray every week is the most solemn festival, and the adults and children in the family put on their best clothes and run to the church from all directions, and basically throw them there in the morning.
Erin and Katie sometimes catch up with the weekends in the town, and they will also go to church to worship, and every time they come out of the church, they will live in peace for an hour, as if they have really washed away the sins in their hearts, but this effect is not long-lasting, and the three of them will become laymen again as soon as they get on the road, sometimes Hong Tao is very puzzled, and always feels that the cheesiness on their bodies is too heavy, which affects their relationship with God.
After 4 days of stop-and-go, Hong Tao and the three of them finally reached Melbourne, just entered the suburbs of Melbourne, Hong Tao felt a problem, there are a lot of people here, the woods or grass on both sides of the road, you can always see the crowd of threes and threes, the beach by the sea is not quiet, there will always be a large group of young girls and boys to play.
After arriving in the city, the situation became even more serious, although it could not be said that there were people everywhere, but I went to several hotels and hostels in a row, and the answer was that they were all full. Since there was no place to live in the city, they simply didn't stay, and they didn't plan to walk around the city anyway, so they just walked through the city and headed for the Great Ocean Road.
The Great Ocean Road is a road, not a motorway, and is marked B100. According to the map and GPS navigation, the road should start in Torquay, a small seaside town in Melbourne's south-west, and then follow the seaside all the way west, probably more than 200 kilometres, before ending in Allansford.
The road is said to have been built after World War I to house veterans, and many places were carved out of the cliffs along the coast, and it took 13 years to build. This section of the road is famous mainly because of the winding and rugged coastline it crosses, the scenery is very chic, and there is a good name for a kilometer of attractions, so this section of the road has become a must-see place in Australia.
"Hong Tao, please close the window, these flies are about to torture me crazy, if this continues, I dare not promise not to drive the car to the bottom of the cliff!" Ever since the intimacy of the three of them at the bottom of the cliff, Katie has unceremoniously treated herself as a third of her family, mixing everything she does, including driving.
"Well, well, how can there be so many flies in such a nice place!" Hong Tao is reluctant to lock himself in the car, he likes the feeling of letting all kinds of winds of different temperatures blow into the car, but it is not only the wind that blows in, but also some very annoying little creatures, flies.
I don't know why, since approaching Melbourne, there have been more and more flies along the way, and after Melbourne, the situation has become more and more serious, so that whether you are driving or parking, you have to close the doors and windows tightly, otherwise you can dance with the swarms of flies.
