Sweeping the grass in front of him with his cane, Zhou Jiping came to the tree and thought to himself, this tree was picked really well. He put on his backpack and climbed to the branch where the branches branched, and put the backpack in a safe place.
, took out a roll of backpack straps, selected two nearby thick tree branches and started to make a "bed". After a while, a spider web-like "bed" was connected between the two tree branches, and the whole person leaned on it to try it out.
Tried it, it's quite strong
Remembering that the cane was still under the tree, Zhou Jiping cut off another section from the backpack strap, took out a bag of lime powder from the backpack, got down from the tree, tied the cane to his wrist, and sprinkled lime around the tree.
circle, irrigated the grass, and then climbed up the tree again
Lime powder can repel the attempts of some small animals to climb the tree. Keep the cane with a rope and keep it by your side so that it will not fall when you fall asleep. This way you can save bullets when dealing with animals that may climb the tree, even if it is not necessary.
Try not to shoot, otherwise it will be more dangerous to attract people
After doing all this, the sun is already close to the horizon
He took off his leggings, relaxed his body, and took advantage of the last daylight to open his backpack. There were two large packages of instant noodles inside. Although he had never adapted to the team's diet, he had kept them untouched and now they came in handy.
Alas - Facing the slowly sinking sun, Zhou Jiping still sighed, helpless and unwilling...
Suddenly—suddenly—a sudden gust of wind sounded, startling Zhou Jiping, who was deep in thought, and quickly picked up his cane.
Chirp - a screeching sound was heard, and a grass owl that wanted to land on this tree found that someone had already occupied its nest, so it complained and flew away.
After finishing the instant noodles, he drank some water and put away the remnants when he saw the seasoning packet of instant noodles. Zhou Jiping suddenly remembered that he had made a small mistake - when eating a few days ago, the dishes were very bland, so Zhou Jiping used the seasoning packet in his backpack.
Later, someone saw someone using the salt shaker and then forgot to put it in the backpack. Salt is necessary for the human body. If you don’t eat salt for a long time in the wild, you will lose your physical strength. In severe cases, you will suffer from electrolyte imbalance and dehydration.
It should be fine. There is salt in the seasoning bag. Besides, it’s only three hundred miles and only a few days’ work.
The sun left only a reddish streak on the horizon. As the sun sank into the horizon, darkness flooded down from the sky, dominating this wild grassland that was full of life during the day.
In the dark, Zhou Jiping fixed his backpack firmly on the tree, tied it around his waist with the backpack strap, and hung it on another tree branch. This way, even if the two tree branches behind him were broken at the same time, it would not fall.
When I got down, I put my cane in a handy place and fumbled around to check the pistol safety. After confirming that it was safe, I lay down with confidence and tried my best to relax my body and nerves, hoping to fall asleep as soon as possible.
Far and near, the sounds of various insects are intertwined with the chirping sounds of animals deep in the grassland, forming a sonata of the dark night in East Africa. In the distance, the low-pitched screams of various animals come and go.
For many animals, their day has just begun
Oh - oh - there were a few weird screams, and a few dim lights flashed from time to time on the dark grassland. What is this? Why are there more and more noises like gangsters on the street,
More and more complex, long and short, this is a group, Zhou Jiping thought, they are probably African hyenas. When he was in the exploration team, he saw hyenas several times, but it was mostly during the day. When they saw people coming, they would have run away.
Got it
I couldn’t sleep. Even though I was exhausted from running in the afternoon, I still couldn’t relax mentally. How far had we walked across the river? It was at least thirty kilometers and it seemed that we were almost ten kilometers away from the second river. But how could we look at it? This place was completely different from the starting point. How about two worlds? Apart from a small village we saw not far away from the road, it turned out to be a deserted and barbaric land.
The moon is gradually rising, but compared to the dimness on the grassland, the little moonlight is better than nothing. What enters the eyes is still full of darkness.
The animals' calls are still persistent, and they seem to be communicating with each other, discussing how to act tonight.
Montaya, what is this country like? Slowly, Zhou Jiping fell into sleep
Ah - ah - ah - yo - yo - um - oh - oh - oh - high and low screams sounded very close, waking up Zhou Jiping who had finally fallen asleep and exhaled angrily, sideways Overhead, dozens of shining bright spots were dangling under the trees where Zhou Jiping fetched water during the day, slowly approaching the patch of trees where he was. The strange visitors on the grassland attracted these True Aboriginal Attention
Various messy sounds were getting closer and closer. It seemed that a group of ignorant children were chattering nearby. Zhou Jiping couldn't sleep anymore. He turned over and looked sideways to watch the performance under the tree.
From the darkness, an extremely ugly guy appeared with round ears, a pointed beak, and his front legs were longer than his hind legs. It turned out to be one or two African hyenas. A group of hyenas coming from all directions gradually gathered around Zhou Jiping. Under the tree where we are, the rustling sound of dogs walking around becomes louder and louder.
Some hyenas were sniffing endlessly around the place where Zhou Jiping vented his anger, some were whining and circling the tree, and some had already put their front paws on the tree and looked up at Zhou Jiping on the tree.
Listening to the increasingly noisy sounds, Zhou Jiping got a little annoyed and adjusted his breathing a few times, then took a sharp breath:
"Ah-ah-ah--"
The hyenas were studying the traces left by this strange visitor. Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar above their heads. The whole group of dogs suddenly stopped and then ran away towards the dark grassland, escaping in the blink of an eye.
The sound waves of the shouting not only scared away the hyenas, but also silenced the entire grassland. The reptiles and animals all listened in horror. What kind of monster was coming?
"Hey~hey~hey~hey~" Zhou Jiping laughed after completing the prank and felt much better: On the mountain ridges in my hometown, I can penetrate three mountain ridges with one voice. In the army, I am also the main force in singing songs. I am not scared to death. Yours
The army, the army, I learned a lot in the army...
