Chapter 46: Under the 100,000 Mountains
When encountering wolves, tigers and other fierce beasts in the wild, many people panic, in fact, they are more scared than you, at this time turning around and running away is definitely a dead end!
Because you can't outrun any beast, and running away only arouses their predatory nature!
As for lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, that is the most undesirable method. There is no scientific proof that predators such as tigers and black bears do not eat dead food.
The most important thing is that the beasts that can survive under the iron-like cruel law of survival of the fittest in nature are not as stupid as people think!
The best way to deal with this is to scare the beast away by striking some metal objects and making some high-pitched and high-pitched sounds.
Since they have never heard this sound in nature, it generally works!
Sure enough, after a while, under the "bombardment" of the Divine Comedy, the black bear shook its head, sniffed around, and then slowly turned around and left.
Seeing that the black bear was gone, the Taoist priest put down the wooden stick in his hand, waved his hand at Meng Lang and said, "Immeasurable Tianzun, thank you for your help!" ”
"The Taoist is polite, it's just a gesture." Meng Lang hurriedly returned the salute.
After some pleasantries, I learned that this man was a Taoist priest from a nearby Taoist temple, and he would come here every once in a while to pick some fresh wild mountain tea.
He has been a monk since he was a child, and it is the first time he has encountered a bear in so many years. Meng Lang also told the Taoist priest that he was a college student in the biology department of a certain university, and he took advantage of the summer vacation to go out for a field trip and so on.
When he was done, he also pulled out a photo of the black ant with gold rim from his mobile phone and asked the Taoist priest to help identify it.
This is also what Meng Lang thought of in a flash, looking for it without a clue is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack, if you are unlucky, you may not be able to find it for ten or eight years!
When he was in Guanghai Park, the fat man also said that he was also very lucky to accidentally encounter Phnom Penh black ants, and how many people came to look for it, but there was no harvest.
Since there is a Taoist priest here, it is most appropriate to take the opportunity to ask him.
Sure enough, the Taoist priest took the mobile phone and looked at it carefully for a while, before he slowly spoke: "I have seen this kind of ant!" ”
"Really?"
Meng Lang was a little overjoyed.
"Yes, outsiders don't speak!" The Taoist priest waved his hand at Meng Lang again and replied affirmatively.
Then he looked around and pointed to a large mountain in front of him on the left, and continued, "It's that mountain, yes, there's a small waterhole at the foot of the mountain. ”
He then added: "At that time, these ants were dragging a small snake, so they were more impressed! ”
Meng Lang was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him again and again!
After saying goodbye to the Taoist priest, Meng Lang, who had a direction, couldn't care about the scorching heat at noon, and quickened his pace and walked towards the mountain.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, Meng Lang also has a deep understanding of this sentence after walking for more than three hours in a row. It doesn't seem too far away, but it's not a short distance!
When passing through a small dirt slope, he was a little anxious and didn't pay attention to standing firmly, stepped on a small pebble and stumbled to the ground, rolling down the dirt slope!
Luckily, this section of the slope is not too long, just over eight meters long. Meng Lang quickly got up and checked it, except for a small piece of clothing on his left arm, which was a little hot, everything else was fine.
He took out the kettle and rinsed it slightly against the bruises, and then patted the dust off his body.
He was about to leave when he suddenly paused, his face changed uncertainly, and he slowly turned around as if in slow motion, his eyes staring at the dirt slope just now, as if he was looking for something!
The mountain knife in his hand was clenched, and even the entire blade trembled slightly because of excessive force, and it glowed with a slight cold light under the sunlight!
After more than half an hour, a breeze blew, and the flowers and plants growing on the soil slope swayed in the wind, and everything seemed unremarkable!
Looking at the traces that he had just rolled down in the middle of the dirt slope, Meng Lang suddenly realized, and his eyebrows, which had been frowning, also relaxed!
He strode towards the mark, then picked up a plant and held it close to the abrasion on his arm, and after a moment he shook his head and threw away the plant in his hand, and then picked up another flower......
There are about three or four hundred species of plants on this small dirt slope, and all kinds of weeds and unknown small flowers bloom all over the small hillside.
And Meng Lang seemed to just pick the plants on the mark he rolled down, and soon, Meng Lang walked to the top position in the center of the small dirt slope.
When he picked up a plant with small lilac flowers again, the movement of his hand suddenly paused, and then trembled slightly, and his face also showed shock, doubt, and a faint expression of uneasiness!
After a moment's hesitation, he pulled out a plastic box from his backpack, emptied the contents, carefully put the plant with small lilac flowers into the box, and carefully watered it.
In the end, he found a half-and-a-half of this unnamed plant with lilac blooms, half of which he had crushed when he rolled down, so only half of it was left!
Meng Lang searched carefully around the imprint again until he found nothing new before turning around and leaving the small hillside.
After more than an hour, Meng Lang finally came to the peak of the mountain that the Taoist priest said, and there was indeed a small water tan at the foot of the mountain, the pool was turquoise, cool and pleasant!
Now that he arrived at the destination, Meng Lang didn't care about resting, and after putting down his backpack, he scattered bait in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions of the waterhole, including biscuits, candy, grasshoppers caught on the road, etc.
I don't know what kind of ants like to eat, he can't wait to drop 100 yuan and let them buy it himself!
While anxiously waiting, a group of ants came to the place where the grasshoppers were placed not long after, and Meng Lang took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the long-looking Phnom Penh black ant.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he waited quietly for the ants to drag the grasshoppers back to their nests.
I followed all the way, about 200 meters away from the waterhole, I found the nest of these Phnom Penh black ants, it turned out that they did not build a nest underground, but built a nest on a big tree!
Looking at this ant nest hanging on the branches, about the size of two basketballs, Meng Lang thought about it, ran back to the backpack and took out the sleeping bag, and then returned to the tree with the black ant nest with gold edges, and directly used the sleeping bag to put the entire ant nest inside, and even saved the test tube prepared before departure.
After tightening the mouth of the sleeping bag, Meng Lang returned to the waterhole with the sleeping bag satisfied.
In a good mood, he finally couldn't resist the temptation of the cool pool water, and jumped into the pool to swim freely......
