Chapter Eighty-Eight: Setting Foot in the Amazon
Time passed quickly in eagerness, and the next morning, Tina knocked on Zhang Lisheng's door early, "Lisheng, we're about to leave after breakfast, haven't you gotten up yet?"
"I'm already up, I'll go out after washing, you go to the restaurant first. Zhang Lisheng was awakened from his practice, put away the mountain toad, hurriedly brushed his teeth, washed his face, and opened the door.
Outside the door, Tina didn't leave, "Li Sheng, before I go to the jungle, I have something to ask you..."
"I don't agree, okay, let's go. Guessing that Tina hoped that she could also take care of the safety of the others, Zhang Lisheng said crisply, and strode towards the restaurant.
Tina behind her was stunned for a moment, and chased after her angrily, but she didn't say anything more for fear of backfire.
After a hearty breakfast, the young entrants brought the sophisticated outdoor adventure equipment they brought across the ocean to find their white spoon guides.
In addition to Zhang Lisheng, the two strong boys were carrying at least 35 kilograms of mountain bags, and the three girls were also carrying backpacks weighing more than 15 kilograms.
The Limousine of the Golden Brick Hotel drove them along the widest central avenue of Tuyi Cano from the middle to the end, stopping in front of a noisy pier on the outskirts.
This is a jungle-bordered Amazon port built of a mix of cement and logs, which can accommodate hundreds of canoes.
Compared to any port in the developed world, it looks like a giant man and a baby, but in Tuyi Kano it is already a giant wharf.
In the early morning sun, countless people rowed canoes into the river with harpoons and nets that were no more than three or four square meters in size, and at the slightest catch they rowed to the shore and sold directly to the compatriots on the concrete floor of the wharf who looked at the fresh fish on the canoes in the river, and kept gesturing and shouting and asking for the price.
"It's so lively and it's very eco-friendly.
You see, in order to ensure that the water quality of the Amazon River is not polluted in any way, these Tattu Tutu do not use mechanical boats to fish. Walking up to the dock with heavy footsteps, Tina said expectantly.
"It's not that I'm afraid of water pollution, but that petrol and diesel are too expensive," exclaimed Tu Ni, who knew English, behind Tina, "We don't produce oil, and the international oil price is in the hands of you guys and Hua Guojin."
Of course there will be no mechanical boats in the Amazon..."
The Amazon River is thousands of kilometers long, with the deepest part of the river being more than 50 meters and the width measured in kilometers.
The islands and continents in the river are staggered, and the flow is distributed in a reticular pattern, and the floodplains on both sides of the river are wide and can even extend for hundreds of kilometers.
With a network of floodplains and numerous lakes, the pier is strictly built on a tributary of the Amazon floodplain.
How could such a large river be navigated without mechanical boats.
The young people were amazed at the one who covered his shame with only a hard husk. Quite an international view of the earth, into the unrealistic but very sharp rhetoric.
They looked at each other a few times, didn't argue, and hurried away at a hurry.
When traveling in such a small tropical country, it is wise not to quarrel with the local indigenous people.
After walking around the coast but finding nothing, the young entrants became a little nervous, lest they encounter a scammer.
In her anxiety, Tina suddenly pointed to the river in the distance and shouted, "Look, isn't that Mr. Tuta?"
Toiri's appearance is very similar to that of foreign people, but the jet-black flame tattoo on Tuta's face is very obvious.
At this time, he stood on the bow of a huge ten-meter-long canoe, coming towards the wind, and although there was no expression on his stiff face, he still beckoned when he saw his employer.
"Toiri here looks thin, but it's actually strong.
Mr. Tuta's companions were able to row such a large wooden boat as fast as they could, and there were only three of them..."
"Xitu dear, shut up, Tuta's canoe is equipped with propellers, can't you see the ripples in the water?"
As he spoke, Tuta's canoe had already docked, and he jumped out of the boat, looked at his employer, and said stiffly: "Your white spoon backpack is too big, and you can't carry more than ten kilograms in the jungle." ā
"Hey, Mr. Tuta, I'm a strong lad and I go to the gym every day I die..."
"Women have better endurance than men, and if you walk in the jungle for two days at most, your physical strength will not be as good as the girls around you.
For every 10 kilograms, bring high-calorie, non-perishable high-purity sweets and emergency medicines, sleeping bags, and nothing else, and tents for us to carry. ā
"My stamina is outstanding..."
"Hetu, Mr. Tuta is an expert in the jungle, do as he says. Cheria said as she unfastened her backpack and began to clean up her gear.
Seeing her movements, her companions also began to pack their luggage, only Tina and Zhang Lisheng did nothing.
Tina's backpack only carried two wild sleeping bags and emergency medicines, nothing else, the sleeping bags were born by her and Zhang Lisheng, and the young man carried his own witch worm on his back, and he didn't have the physical strength to carry other equipment.
After the young entrants had packed their luggage, Tuta instructed one of his men to pack up their equipment and put it into their small warehouse at the port, and then began to make the final introduction, this time in rare detail.
"Duta, he's agile in the jungle, and can spot even the tiniest beasts. The traces left by poisonous insects are responsible for finding the way and being on guard, remember that you should never go in front of him with the white spoon pace, Puguta, the herbalist, knows all the edible plants in the jungle, and he will be the greatest guarantee of survival in the event of an accident with supplies, Vataruru, the best hunter of the Tata tribe, can kill the tiger with a blowpipe and poisonous arrows, and I, Tuta, the former Tata troops, can find the safest path in the jungle, of course, this path can also be said to be non-existent. ā
Duta, Puguta, and Vataruru looked exactly the same in the eyes of the youngsters, and they couldn't tell each other for a short time, but they still nodded their heads in understanding.
"It's a perfect division of labor," Trisy complimented, eagerly cutting to the point, "Mr. Tuta, I wonder if you have found out how long ago my brother died..."
"Leave the route to me, and you can just follow me. Tuta waved his hand, turned and jumped into the canoe.
Tou Jin jumped into the wooden boat, and Duta, Puguta, and Vataruru also jumped into the wooden boat with agility.
Seeing this, the young people could only follow the guide and cautiously jumped into the big wooden boat.
Stepping into the canoe with two feet is like standing in a long bath, and the young entrants will inevitably be in a hurry at first, unable to grasp their balance, and rocking the boat to and fro.
"Sit down, relax, and put your hands on the gangs on either side of the canoe. Tuta stood steadily on the bow of the canoe and took the direction.
Zhilu told the trick, Zhang Lisheng hurriedly sat down, and found that the boat gang was very high, and he could only show his head, so he could only raise his hand to hold both sides.
After a while, the young people sat down, and the canoe became stable again.
Seeing that the boat was stable, Tutayan made a gesture of departure, and Vatarulu at the stern of the boat hurriedly pulled the propeller hard.
The canoe made a dull 'thud...", which quickly propelled the boat away from the dock and onward.
At the same time that the canoe left the pier, Tubalin, the restaurant of the BRICS Hotel, sat on a single table by the window, looked out the window at the sunny air, drank the sewage-like Tattutu tea, and whispered happily: "Those teenagers should go."
One, two, three, four, five, six, six energetic, passionate young enters, oh yes, there is also a cold-skinned yellow-skinned monkey mixed in.
But that's not a big deal, as long as the 'Aryan' girl is around, everything is fine. As he spoke, Lao Jin let out a hearty 'Ha Lu Ha..." laugh.
Sitting in a modified canoe, swimming on the Amazon River, enjoying the warm sun, the cool river breeze, the beautiful rainforest scenery on both sides, and the beautiful 'chirping...' birdsong, when they first hit the road, the young entrants felt relaxed and happy.
When a small animal with brown fur jumped into the water from a branch on the shore and crossed the river with the soles of its feet, Tina even exclaimed with great interest, "Look, look, there's a monkey running through the water."
I thought only insects could do this, it's incredible..."
As Tina spoke, there was a splash in the river, and a large gray-scaled fish that was more than one height suddenly burst out of the water, swallowing the little beast that was treading the water to the innermost.
However, after the success of the big fish, it also encountered an accident, and it turned out that the little beast was not running on the water, but on a long and hidden aquatic grass in the water.
After the gray-scaled fish ate the little beast, its huge head was stranded in the aquatic grass, its body struggled hard, its mouth kept opening and closing, revealing its sharp teeth and biting at the aquatic grass left and right.
Although the aquatic plants in the Amazon are tough, a large fish that is as tall as it enters can reach hundreds of kilograms in the water, and soon gradually break free from the shackles of aquatic plants.
Unfortunately, just after it was about to get out of trouble and regain zìyóu, a mottled yellow figure crossed a graceful arc and rushed towards the big fish, using its sharp claws and the huge impact force when it fell, exposing the big fish's head outside the water, and scratching out several deep cracks.
In an instant, the gray-scaled fish's white bean curd-like brain seeped out from the crack on the top of its head, and its body began to roll meaninglessly and wildly, stirring up large waves in the river.
The big fish was attacked by a graceful leopard.
Being able to pounce on such a huge river fish is complete luck for the smaller forest leopard, and it is completely impossible for it to suppress its prey in the water with its true strength, so after delivering the fatal blow, it can only wait for the prey to breathe on its own.
