Chapter 30: Insects and Ants Disturb Dreams
At this moment, I hope that the tenger mentioned in shamanism really exists, and that the wails of these wolves can be heard by the gods and lead their companions to a world where there is no fighting.
We took turns using Luoyang shovels to clear a piece of land and dig a small pit as the wolf's grave.
The Luoyang shovel, which was originally small, now in my hands, seems to weigh a thousand catties, it not only carries our condolences for our companions, but also carries my prayers and hopes, I pray that no one's life will be harmed in the future journey.
Instead of erecting a small mound and erecting a tombstone like a grave for a person, we directly filled in the pit where it was buried, and wished it to be born in nature and return to nature. The absence of a grave means that it is not actually dead, but has gone to another world that we cannot see, and there is no tombstone, and we do not have to worry about paying homage to this savior.
The simple funeral dragged on for an hour, and it was already dark, and the wolves were lying on the ground where their companions were buried, as if they were using their own body heat to warm their companions buried below.
Seeing that the wolves had no intention of leaving, we cleared a large open space next to it, laid out the things we used to sleep, and prepared to spend the night here.
Because it is a meadow, there is a river not far away, there may be some places that we can't see, and there are pools of water, so there are a lot of mosquitoes around us, and they keep buzzing around the top of their heads, making it difficult for everyone to sleep.
The wolves were not afraid of mosquitoes, except for one wolf who ran far into the grass, probably to guard duty, and the other wolves were lying on their stomachs around us, huddled together to rest.
In order to repel mosquitoes, the fat brother lit another fire.
As soon as the fire was lit, I saw that above the flames, there were flying insects, most of which were mosquitoes, which startled everyone, and when I saw that scene, I even felt a little sick to my stomach, and almost vomited out the precious bear paws.
How do you sleep here? Looking at this army of thousands of mosquitoes, I can guarantee that as long as I fall asleep, even the fat of the fat brother's body will be sucked into skin and bones.
So we began to whip again with our unworn clothes, and wandered around like crazy, dancing around the campfire, hoping to drive the mosquitoes away, and occasionally injure others.
The wolves were stunned and wandered around us, not knowing what kind of madness we were smoking, just like we had watched shamans perform rituals.
After a while, I was sweating profusely, but the mosquito army continued unabated.
In the end, Jiang Li said: "Don't toss, we are not their opponents." "We all sat back on our sleeping bags, gasping for air.
The fat brother sat there, his hands were not idle, one hand was holding his clothes to imitate the propeller, spinning above his head, and said to us: "It seems that we have to stay up late tonight, we can't be busy fighting mosquitoes, how can we have time to sleep?" β
Fight bears may we still have a chance to win, fight mosquitoes that have no trick at all, unless a box of insecticides is sprayed around, otherwise there will be no turnaround, everyone shook their heads helplessly, saying that there is no way.
Jiang Li began to sigh again: "If only my sister were here, she must have a way to repel insects, I have seen it, she can subdue the python and cure mosquitoes if she burns any special thing." β
Yan Qiu smiled and said, "You two sisters, you must be reincarnated by the sun and the moon, you can't meet, one comes and the other leaves." β
It seemed that everyone was so sleepy by mosquitoes that they sat there and chatted about their idle days, and I also came to the spirit and said to everyone: "Tell me, why aren't these wolves afraid of mosquitoes?" Is it the smell of the body that repels mosquitoes? Otherwise, let's squeeze with wolves? β
Su Rina laughed at me and said, "Big brother, you are really naΓ―ve, the wolf has thick hair, and the mosquito has already died on the spot before it has even pierced the flesh, how can you bite the wolf?" It's like suicide. β
The fat brother asked Jiang Li: "Aren't you able to blow the whistle?" Is there a recipe to repel mosquitoes? Let's make a song and blow the mosquitoes away. β
Jiang Li smiled and said: "There is still a possibility of success in communicating with wolves, isn't it difficult for me to communicate with mosquitoes?" β
Speaking of this, Jiang Li seemed to think of something, pondered for a while, and then said, "Why don't I ask those wolves?" See if you can repel mosquitoes? But my song doesn't work against wolves, I haven't tried it. β
Since there is a turnaround, then you should try it, I couldn't wait to push Jiang Li and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Go ahead. β
Jiang Li stood up, walked over to a more docile-looking wolf, blew a short but cheerful piece of music with her whistle, and stroked the wolf's body with one hand, perhaps communicating with the wolf.
When her music was finished, the wolf stood up violently as if it had been beaten with chicken blood. I thought that Jiang Li disturbed the wolf's dream, and the wolf was unhappy, so I quickly got up and prepared to pull Jiang Li back, but I didn't expect that the wolf ran into the tall grass without looking back.
Jiang Li saw that the communication was fruitless, but annoyed the wolf away, walked back dejectedly, spread his hand and said to me: "See, it doesn't work, the wolf is tired of listening, and he has disappeared." β
It's the first time I've seen Jiang Li's song fail, I thought that her ability was unfathomable, she could get into the other party's heart, and even the mountain god could be moved, but I didn't expect the wolf to get bored, so she simply hid far away, and made me laugh breathlessly, and Jiang Li's face was red and blue with laughter.
After about ten minutes, there was movement in the grass, it seemed that the wolf had returned, I teased Jiang Li and said: "You hide your whistle, don't make a shadow of this wolf, see your whistle and scare away, you don't sleep, people still sleep." β
Jiang Li was so angry that he hammered my fist on my shoulder, hammering my arm that had just healed the dislocation, and it hurt for a while.
Seeing that I was frowning in pain, Jiang Li smiled and said, "If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have treated your arm, so that you would have been in pain, so that you would have time to laugh at others." β
I also deliberately said to Jiang Li: "If it is not cured, it will not be cured, I can save my backpack, which is much easier." β
Jiang Li saw that he couldn't say me, so he hurriedly went to Yan Qiu for help, shook Yan Qiu's arm and said, "Sister Yan Qiu, why don't you care about your family, do you see how much he bullies people?" β
said that it was her family's exhibition, but Yan Qiu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she also teased Jiang Li and said, "You also said, my family's exhibition, how can I turn my elbow to you?" β
Joke-a-between, the wolf had already come out of the grass, this time it didn't come back on its own, and it was still holding a large mass of things in its mouth, because it was too big, and the wolf had dragged it to the ground with it in its mouth, and it was very difficult to run.
It was basically oval-shaped, slightly lighter than earthy yellow, full of jumble holes, looking like coral, and somewhat like a large pine tower.
The fat brother said, "This wolf still eats wasps? Is that a hornet's nest? Stay away, and the hornets will come out and sting us. β
The wolf did not pause, ran directly to the fire, and then pushed the thing into the fire, and after the fire baked it, many small white worms came out of it, and scattered in all directions. The small insect is as long as a matchstick, and the small one is about two centimeters, and it crawls very fast, I don't know what it is.
Seeing that it was not a wasp, the fat brother hurriedly ran forward, clasped one with his hand, pinched it in his hand to look at it, and shouted: "Oops, it's an ant." Then he quickly threw himself into the fire.
When we came back, we saw that the fat brother's finger belly had been bitten, and a small patch on it was red and swollen, and the fat brother cried out in pain again and again.
Su Rina hurriedly told everyone to stay away: "Termites are much more powerful than wasps, this is still a large termite, let's be careful." Look at the sleeping bag and don't get into it. β
The fat brother shook his hand and scolded: "This wolf cub, you still know revenge, don't you just play a tune for him?" As for termites? β
After a while, the termites had escaped, and we rechecked the sleeping place, but fortunately there was nothing left, and the turmoil was over, and the wolf went back to its place, looking at us as if it were innocent.
At this time, we were suddenly surrounded by a smell, I can't tell what it is, it is not fragrant or smelly, but it is a little choking, as if someone has lit expired incense.
We searched for the direction from which the smell came from, and realized that it was the smell of the termite nest after it was burned.
I didn't expect that there were sequelae of this farce, and the smell made it even more difficult to sleep, but the thing was in the fire, and there was a possibility of termites remaining, so we had to endure the smell and ignore it. I just hope that it will be burned quickly, and I wonder in my heart that I must not offend these wolves in the future, in case it is a snake that comes back next time, it will toss us enough, and we have to go around without eating.
After a while, I noticed that there seemed to be fewer mosquitoes around us, and I asked the others, "Do you feel anything?" These mosquitoes seem to be gone, are they full and go back to sleep? β
Yan Qiu counted the mosquito bags on her body and said, "How come?" These mosquitoes are all fed, and there are simply not enough of us for the five of us. Don't......? βR1058
