Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Lion of the Wasteland, Caught in a Chaotic War
With Luquett's exclamation, he turned his head to the right in an instant.
Speechless for a while, he took out his mobile phone from the iron box, turned on the power and filmed it from afar, while muttering: "It turns out that you can really see a lion." ”
At the moment, the two of them are on a small bridge, and there is gurgling water under the bridge.
A few dozen meters away from them, a dozen lions were drinking water by the river.
In case of emergency, it was like the wild elephant that I met by the river that morning, and there were four or five lion cubs playing in the river.
You chase after me, and you keep fighting.
Such a wonderful picture, in case you have never seen it on TV...... Both he and Lukett held their breath, quietly admiring the moment of beauty.
In case I took a few photos and a few videos, I sent one to Utu, who was far away in Athens.
And attached a sentence: "My friend, this moment is the most wonderful moment in the world." ”
After finishing it, he silently closed his phone, put it in the tin box, and then quietly looked at the lions in the river, until a male lion looked up at the two of them.
Lukett lit the fire and walked slowly.
"Lions don't normally attack people unless they think their children are going to be attacked. ”
Wan Yi sighed and said with a smile: "I can understand, we saw wild elephants on this trip, and we saw lions again today...... Thank you, my friend. ”
"You're welcome, you're my friend, or my brother."
Luchette pointed to the woods not far ahead, which looked a little far from the road, and said, "Let's go there and spend the night, go around to the back of the woods, and no one will find us." ”
In case he thought about it and asked, "Will the lion come with me?" I don't want to hurt them. ”
"Oh no, they won't follow...... After drinking the water, they will also go home to sleep, so don't worry. ”
Luchette explained to Chance that lions would not hunt at night as long as they were not very hungry, because this is the African savannah and there are only two seasons.
There are no cold winters, and the wilderness here is a paradise for all animals.
Until Lukett drove the jeep off the road and into the woods in the distance, in case he still felt that this was really a magical country.
I feel that indigenous people like Luket don't think about attacking animals like elephants and lions, and that people and animals, people and nature are in harmony here.
Except for the few poachers, the ones who make you feel hated.
Soon, Lucter was turning the jeep around the back of the woods.
When I got out of the car, I looked around with a telescope and found that I couldn't see the road from here.
As long as you can't see the road, then the passing vehicles on the road will hold binoculars, and even night vision devices will not be able to spot the two of them.
After getting out of the car, Lukett went to the woods to pick up dead branches and prepare to make a fire overnight.
In case he turned on his phone again, he had to calibrate how far he was from Legava in front of him to see if the two of them were going the wrong way.
Fortunately, although the two of them had made a long detour, they were now less than a hundred kilometers away from Legava, and they would be there by noon tomorrow.
If it weren't for the wound on Luket's hand, they would have been able to reach Aruyei tomorrow night.
After thinking about it, I decided to spend the night in Legava.
He also had to prepare some equipment needed to save people, and make a thorough plan with Pat on how to rescue people safely.
While in a daze, Utu replied with a message.
"This photo is so beautiful, if you use a camera, I guess it will be even more beautiful, my friend, thank you for sharing."
In case he smiled slightly, he replied with a smile: "I don't know how to describe it in words, it is indeed so beautiful, those little lions are as cute as those little elephants." ”
In case I don't know if I will encounter hippos and wild horses in front of me, but he is already very satisfied.
Utu continued with a message: "I look forward to your early return, remember to turn off your phone, good night my friend." ”
"Good night my friend, I'll be back as soon as possible."
Just in case he had just returned to Utu's message, Pat's message came in again: "My friend, where have you been now?" ”
Sighing, in case of reply: "There was an accident on the way, we took a detour, and we will not be able to reach Legawa until tomorrow, and we will reach our destination the day after tomorrow." ”
After thinking about it, he was not at ease, and replied with a message: "Pat, when do you plan to do it?" ”
"Three days later, you arrive at the destination to rest for a day, we will discuss the plan of action, and we will start immediately."
Pat replied, "Tomorrow night, I'll send you all the information." ”
In case you are stunned, you are careful and careful, for fear that someone will find out our intention to save people, and you will not send me the information until tomorrow.
Fortunately, he is not a calculating person. Otherwise, if it were someone else, I was afraid that I would have quarreled with Pat a long time ago.
Thinking of this, in case of replying: "That's it, I'm going to turn off the phone, and we'll get in touch tomorrow night." ”
After looking at his watch, it was almost exactly ten minutes, and he immediately turned off his phone, then stuffed it into the tin box, and let himself disappear into this vast wasteland.
This night, no one finally came to disturb the two who spent the night in the wasteland.
Guarding the small fire, Luquette, who had drunk a few cans of beer, was slightly drunk, and smoked a cigar in the meantime.
He couldn't remember how many days he hadn't enjoyed it, and he thought he had gotten a box from the fat man's safe.
I can't think of it right now to pass the time, but it's a good choice.
Looking at Luquett lying on his sleeping bag, he asked, "Lukett, what do you think after helping me save people this time?" Where do you want to go? ”
In case, it seems that Lukett should be studying at a university at his age, and not in the company of wolves and beasts in the wasteland.
Not to mention, there is also the risk of being kidnapped.
Who knew that Luwut looked at him and smiled: "I'm going to study in Poland soon, my friend, I'm going to go there to go to university." ”
In case you are stunned for a moment when you hear this, thinking that you are actually going to Europe, in this way, the two are very close to each other, and if you are not close, you can still meet from time to time.
When you think about it, it seems like a good thing, after all, Poland is not far from Athens.
He took a puff of smoke rings and said with a smile: "When you buy a new mobile phone, I will leave the communication method to you, and you can contact me after you go to study abroad." ”
When Lukett, who was already drowsy, heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "Are you also in Poland?" That's great, my friend. ”
Lukett was worried that he was not familiar with his life in Europe, and he did not even have a friend, but he did not expect that he would be there, which was good news for him.
In case of shaking his head: "I'm not in Poland, but it's not far from you, and it should be two hours away by plane." ”
"It's not bad, it seems that you are really my destined friend, and I am very happy to hear this news."
Lukett waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm going to tell my dad this good news." ”
It's not bad if you think about it, after all, along the way, he found that Lukett doesn't have any bad habits and can be his friend.
After all, he is only a friend in Athens at the moment, and which of those classmates before didn't think he was poor and didn't want to be friends?
Now it's okay, and I don't have to make any new friends when I go back in the future.
Including those friends in China and his childhood friends, he decided to pick up a touchstone from the African river and find a chance to go back and try those former friends.
Thinking of this, if you think about the stalk of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for the first time, including after returning to Athens, you should also do the same for Utu.
There can only be Pat alone who knows his details, and the two can be business partners, but they don't have to be together every day.
Pat's personality and the nature of his family meant that he couldn't leave Gosmu easily, which was a good thing in case.
Can he learn from Pat how to do business and double the money he earns? Or how many times?
Thinking of this, in case he was a little excited, he looked at Luquet and laughed: "Luquett, tomorrow when we arrive in Legava, we are going to have a big meal." ”
He only gave a small amount of the money he got from cleaning the battlefield yesterday to Lukett, and today he has nothing at all.
In his opinion, the dollars that Lukett had already received along the way, plus the cost of hiring him as a guide, were almost nearly 30,000 dollars, which was enough for this guy to spend for a while.
Even if he wants to divide it, it will have to wait until he makes money in business.
Luquette listened to this, and laughed: "I think so too, my friend, I invite you to the best hotel in Legava." ”
This night, while Luquett was asleep, he counted yesterday's and today's gains.
Not counting the previous $20,000, now he has more than $50,000 in his hand, adding up to $80,000.
Pat didn't pay him to save people before, probably because he wanted to give most of the money he received in the end to himself.
If he really rescued people back to Luo Shimu, he could still earn another amount of money, thinking of this, Wan Yi's heart couldn't help but shrink fiercely.
It turns out that saving people is more profitable than doing business.
That night, in case of insomnia, it was not until nearly two o'clock in the night, when Luquett had woken up, that he leaned back on his sleeping bag and fell asleep.
……
No matter how smart the two of them were, they didn't expect the plan to change so quickly.
At eleven o'clock in the morning of the next day, when the two of them came from sightseeing all the way, they were blocked five kilometers away from Legava.
"OMG, my friend, I think we're in trouble!"
As soon as Luket's words fell, another terrifying explosion sounded on the road not far ahead, followed by a fierce gunfire of gunfire.
In case and Lukett were both stunned, and then the two scolded in unison: "Fake! Not good, there was a firefight between the two armies! ”
"My friend, there's something big going on here, let's get out of here."
Lukett shouted, "Turn around and go back, we can't get involved in this war, this damn guy is actually fighting outside the city." ”
In case of a sharp turn, he twisted and drove towards the distant wasteland.
In his sight, there was a wooded area a few kilometers away, just enough to hide from the two warring armies, and wait for them to fight before entering the city.
He whispered: "Let's go to the front to rest for a while, eat something, I'm really afraid of them, we won't fight sooner rather than later, but the war started when we were fast forward into the city." ”
Lukett nodded and whispered, "It's really unlucky, I have to wait until they finish beating us before leaving." ”
In case the speed of the car is fast, it will be away from the road and around the woods in a short time.
In case the jeep was reversed into the woods, and the camouflage was pulled, and then he got out of the car with a gun and food.
The two of them spread their food on the ground, and when they opened the can of beer, they thought for a moment and asked, "Lukett, why are they fighting everywhere like this?" ”
Lukett took a sip of beer and replied: "Listen to my father, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the boss of the Rapid Support Forces, Mohammed, is fighting everywhere for the resources of gum arabic. ”
"Gum arabic? What kind of treasure is that, and it takes two troops to fight for it? In case looked at Lukett asked.
Luquette smiled, pointed to the Coke on the ground and said, "A soda like Coke has gum arabic." ”
"Boom!" In the distance, another earth-shattering explosion was heard.
