Chapter 56: Who is it? Kill my little flower?
We burrowed into the dense jungle, and where there was sun, it was hot, and where there was no sun, it was cool. There are a lot of little bugs flying everywhere.
Jiang Ming picked some leaves as he walked, and he handed the leaves to us, saying that they would be crushed and applied to the skin. The fat man asked what was the use, and Jiang Ming said that it could prevent insect bites and mountain leeches.
We have seen a lot of mountain leeches, and we know that there are several varieties, and we have mountain leeches on the mountains of western Guangdong. This thing is a vampire, and before you know it, it's full, going from the size of a toothpick to the thickness of a small thumb.
So we hurriedly crumpled the leaves and applied them to the arms and necks.
At noon, the fat man looked up at the sun while wiping his sweat, and he said, "I'm so tired!" There are so many mountains, you can't walk without eating! ”
In front of us was a small clear river, knee-deep, and we pointed it out by the river. Everyone found a comfortable place to sit on the edge of the grass and took out dry food to nibble.
The fat man said to fetch water, Jiang Ming pulled him and said: "The water in the river can't be drunk, there are too many bacteria, and if you drink it, you will have diarrhea, and if you drink it, you will have no life." When he heard this, his face turned pale with fright. "Won't it?" The water looks quite clear. ”
I didn't dare to drink cold water, so we had to take out pure water from our bags to drink, and everyone chatted while eating. I said, "If you have to stay for many days, you can't stand eating dry food every day." As soon as he said this, there was a sudden "bang" sound from the waterhole in front of him.
We all look in the direction of the waterhole, is there a big fish?
The fat man said, "What the hell? It can't be a crocodile, right? "Then we all stood up and watched. I saw a wave of water in the waterhole in front of me, and the sun shone on the water surface sparkling. There seemed to be something tumbling in the water, but I couldn't see it clearly.
We went to the edge of the pool again to look at it. There was another "bang", and a spotted python came out of the bottom of the pool, and there was a big grass carp in its mouth. We were stunned that we had only seen such a big snake in a zoo.
The python stared at us for a few seconds, saw us slowly retreat, and after making sure there was no malice, swam to the opposite shore.
The snake's head was thigh-thick, seven or eight meters long, covered in spots, and its two red eyes shone finely. Oddly enough, there is also a single horn the size of an egg on the top of the head.
"This is Jiao! Run, everyone! The fat man screamed, threw down the compressed biscuit in his hand and turned around and ran.
I grass! Originally, the pythons swam to the other side, trying to avoid us and escape. As a result, he was screamed by the fat man, and he was also frightened, so he became angry. He turned his head to stare at us, put down the big grass carp in his mouth, and swam towards us with a flick of his tail.
We didn't even have any equipment on the ground, so we ran in fright. The python followed us whirring, and the fishy wind sprayed directly, and it caught up after us in a few clicks.
The fat man ran slowly, and I passed him twice. Jiang Ming is much thinner than the fat man, and he has obtained the true inheritance of his master, and he is not far behind me. We ran a few hundred meters along the road we came, and the python followed us for a few hundred meters.
Go bite the fat man! The fat man has a lot of meat, and if you eat him in one bite, it will take several days to digest it. Seeing that the python spewed a fishy wind, it reached the fat man's back and opened his bloody mouth. The fat man's face turned pale with fright, and his mouth kept screaming.
Jiang Ming braked suddenly, took out the Luban ruler and recited a few incantations, ran back behind the fat man, and slapped the python's head with a "bang".
I also made a 360-degree turn, ran back quickly, and while it was still dazed, I felt like I was punching down at the seven-inch position.
The python screamed in pain, and it kept rolling on the ground, crushing the arm-thick bushes around it, and the dirt flew up.
The fat man leaned against a big rock and gasped for breath, sweating profusely, and his fat body was trembling with fear. He was the first to run, but he fell behind and almost became a python's poop.
I wiped my sweat and gasped for air. Jiang Ming leaned next to the fat man, took out a cigarette, handed it over, and said that he was shocked. I caught it and lit it, gasping and inhaling, coughing incessantly.
We watched from afar as the python was tumbling, and the surrounding area was a mess, and the branches and leaves were shattered by the python's powerful tail.
Jiang Ming took a puff of cigarette and said: "This snake has eaten people, looking at seven or eight meters long, it is estimated to be more than two hundred catties, and you can see that the eyes are red." ”
The fat man wiped his sweat while panting, and said, "This Jiao has a single horn on its head, and it will be able to cross the dragon in a few years, Daheng, are you sure it is appropriate to kill it with one punch?" ”
I said, "Grass! If you hadn't screamed just now, they would have left a long time ago, and now they're chasing the three of us to bite. If you weren't too fat to run fast, we wouldn't have bothered to turn around and save you! What a pig teammate! ”
The fat man laughed next to him when he heard it, and said, "It's the first time I've seen such a big snake, so it's good that I wasn't scared to pee just now." ”
I took a hard puff and continued to cough. Jiang Ming said: "Fatty, when it dies, you are in charge of the barbecue!" Now is the opportunity to improve our food. ”
The fat man said, "But I'm afraid of snakes!" ”
Jiang Ming said: "Are you afraid of eating snake meat? ”
The fat man smiled and said, "If it's delicious, I don't mind eating it." ”
The python rolled for ten minutes, and gradually lost its voice. Jiang Ming said: "Fatty! Work! The fat man reluctantly dragged the snake, he grabbed the snake's tail and dragged it hard, and said, "I can't drag it alone, Daheng come and help." ”
I said, "You should drag the snake's head, follow the scales so that there is no resistance, you drag the tail, how can a snake with such thick thighs drag it?" ”
The fat man said, "I'm afraid of dragging the snake's head, that tongue hangs out, sticky." "The snakes are dead, what are you afraid of? I went over and broke the snake's mouth with the fat man, and he held it in his nostrils, and I pulled my chin, and the two of us worked together to drag the snake to the edge of the pool.
Jiang Ming took out a dagger from his backpack and began to peel the skin, spreading the peeled skin on the ground, and then cutting off the snake meat piece by piece.
I also found a dagger and chopped a wooden stick to make a barbecue fork. The fat man had already brought firewood and was blowing fire with his mouth puffed out.
As soon as a bunch of snake meat was cut out, the fat man's big bird flew back and saw that the python also wanted to eat it. Jiang Ming took out the snake gall bladder and threw it over, and the big bird swallowed it in one bite, wanting to eat it.
Jiang Ming said: "This pile of snake meat is enough for us to eat, and the rest is difficult to preserve, so let the fat man's bird also open the meat!" Then he and I carried the pile of snake meat to the fire. The remaining python let the big bird eat slowly.
The fat man said as he pierced the snake meat with a stick, "Do we have any salt with us?" "yes, how can you eat without salt? Even if it's baked, it doesn't taste good. What to do?
Jiang Ming finished washing the knives in the waterhole, and said as he walked over: "There is no salt, it seems that there are many packets of instant noodles, why don't you spill that seasoning on the snake meat?" ”
The fat man said: "This method is good, but I don't know if the instant noodles taste good when eating snake meat." "There's no salt now, that's all. Next time, be sure to bring a packet of salt with you.
Jiang Ming was lying nearby basking in the sun and smoking, I went to collect firewood, the fat man was roasting snake meat with bloody hands, and after a while, a thick aroma of meat wafted out.
During this time, the big bird ate fish in the Gesoshan Reservoir, and it seemed to have grown up again, and its colorful tail was one meter and five years long. I saw that it grabbed the snake body with its sharp claws, and it also kept pecking at the snake meat to eat. Suzaku flew away when he was full.
The roasted snake meat over there is sizzling, constantly bubbling with oil, sprinkled with instant noodle ingredients, and the roasting is even more fragrant. Jiang Ming, who was smoking next to him, also kept swallowing saliva, urging the fat man to hurry up.
After picking up enough firewood, I also helped to grill the snake meat, this palm-sized snake meat looks very tender, I don't know how it tastes.
Jiang Ming got up and walked over and said, "It's not good yet?" When I smell the fragrance, I am dying of hunger. Then he picked up a skewer that was almost baked, blew and began to bite. After a mouthful, he said, "I grass! The taste is really good, but it is a little lighter, and the salt is not enough. ”
In the summer, the roasting fire was very hot, and the fat man wiped his sweat while turning over the snake meat, turning his face into a big cat. Jiang Ming pointed at him and smiled while eating.
I also took a bite of snake meat, and the taste was still okay. I don't know how many years this python has survived, I thought the meat would be very firewood and fishy, but it turned out to be delicious. In general, it is similar to the crocodile meat sold in the supermarket.
The three of them ate the snake meat in their stomachs, and they didn't want to move. Jiang Ming said: "Find a place to stay for one night, and make a little snake meat tonight, this thing is a big supplement, it's a pity to throw it away." ”
Then we started cutting down the branches and building the shacks. This temporary stay for one night, as long as it can prevent rain, it doesn't need to be very comfortable. Tropical rainforests have a lot of very large leaves, so it's perfect for a canopy.
After setting up the shack, we took a bath in the pool, which was covered in sweat and smelled of blood. It will be more comfortable to wash and sleep at night.
I washed and went ashore to get dressed, and I inadvertently looked up to see a dark shadow coming in the distance. I turned around and called, "Jiang Ming, someone is coming over there." ”
Then they hurried ashore, and before they had yet to get dressed, they saw a thin black man approaching. The thin black man was wearing black homespun clothes, and he couldn't tell which ethnic group he was, but he thought it was an ethnic minority in Burma.
He walked slowly, his eyes scanning the ground. Look at the fire and the snake skin, and the snake bones, and a lot of big green-headed flies and other bugs flying. The black man's eyes showed deep sadness.
He looked up and said, "Who is it?" Kill my little flower? ”
