Boss Liu is the kind of person who eats well and sleeps well. Not long after he lay down, his intermittent snoring could be heard in the tent. Although Hong Tao seemed careless on the surface, he was still very considerate. When he was a child, whenever spring outings came, he would
He couldn't sleep the first night, and this problem has not gone away with age.
Just as he was lying on the bed, listening to the sound of insects flying from time to time outside the mosquito net, and remembering Simba's warning about biting flies and unable to fall asleep, several very clear animal howls came from outside the camp.
Voice.
"Hey, Hong Tao...are you asleep?" came the fat boss's low voice from the other end of the tent.
"Uncle Fatty, you haven't slept either?" Hong Tao agreed.
"Did you hear something? It seems like something is barking outside. I'm thinking that with that broken fence, wouldn't it be dangerous if some animal breaks in? They don't prepare a gun for us either.
I'm a little nervous!" The fat boss seems to have the same problem as Hong Tao, he is bold and petty!
"Stop thinking blindly. Simba said that the camp is guarded by specialized personnel and the safety is absolutely guaranteed. Think about it, if it is like what they said, even the king's brother comes here to hunt, if there is a problem with safety,
Then does anyone dare to come? They are more concerned about this than us. They have to get up early tomorrow, so you can get some sleep." Hong Tao casually said a theory that sounded very reasonable.
"That's right! OK, then I'm going to bed, and you should go to bed early." The fat boss felt that what Hong Tao said was very reasonable, and he felt more at ease, but he didn't want to think about it. If it was really as reliable as what Hong Tao said, then
Why can't Hong Tao fall asleep?
Hong Tao basically didn't sleep much this night. When he finally drifted off to sleep, he would hear a few howls coming from outside. As time went by, although his body wanted to sleep, his brain was still active, and his whole body
It became a pancake on the pan, flipping over and over on the bed.
"Beep...beep...beep..." Just when Hong Tao had just entered a dreamlike state, several whistles suddenly came from the camp. Hong Tao looked out through the tent window and saw the sky.
It's already turning a little blue, and it looks like it's almost 4 a.m., so why don't you just stop lying in bed and get up!
"Uncle Fat...Uncle Fat!!! Get up. It's time!" Boss Liu was also woken up by the whistle, but the fat boss slept soundly and snored as usual.
"Tao, did you sleep well? Oh, it seems that you didn't sleep well. Is the bed uncomfortable?" Hong Tao came to the bathroom with his own toiletries, and happened to meet Simba who had just finished washing in front of the sink and was looking at him.
The mirror combed his beard from face to neck.
"The bed is very comfortable, but there are always animals barking outside at night. I'm not used to it." Hong Tao looked in the mirror and understood why Simba knew he hadn't slept well. In the mirror, he had a pair of panda eyes. As long as
Not even a blind person can see this.
"Don't worry. Our magic cards will take turns keeping vigil around the camp for us. With them here, we don't have to worry about animals breaking in." Simba understood Hong Tao's worries last night and knew how to eliminate them.
"Don't they sleep in the camp?" Hong Tao continued to ask while brushing his teeth.
"They can't get used to our food, nor can they get used to our houses in their tribe. Except for the rainy season, all tribes don't live in houses with roofs. They like to sleep on cowhide in the wild, and they
The herds of cattle sleep together and will come to the hall for breakfast later. We must hurry up. Today is the first day and strive to have a good harvest." Simba finished trimming his beard.
The breakfast was very rich, including rice porridge, toast, jam, sausages, and fruits. A large table was set up. After breakfast, the three hunting guides began to guide Hong Tao and others to conduct a final inspection of their equipment in accordance with hunting standards.
After confirming that all necessary things had been brought, everyone boarded three off-road vehicles, followed by a pickup truck, and rushed out of the camp fence against the morning glow on the horizon.
I don’t know how Simba and the others discussed it. Did they see that Hong Tao was young and understood English, so they let his vehicle be the first one? Hong Tao had no objection to this arrangement. Anyway, it didn’t matter who was in front and who was behind here.
It's not big, and is surrounded by endless grassland. The vehicles don't strictly follow the route, so there is no problem of poor visibility.
Speaking of this grassland, it is really not the same concept as the Inner Mongolia grassland we see in China. Generally speaking, grass does not come first in the grassland here. The most common ones are the low woods. These trees look very strange.
The trunk of the tree is not very thick, but it has many branches, some of which are about as tall as a person and stretch out in all directions, forming a large crown.
Not only do these have a strange appearance, but when you walk into them, you will find that their branches are covered with sharp thorns and their leaves are very, very small, a bit like the common mimosa in our country, growing symmetrically in pairs.
According to Hong Tao’s full-time hunting guide, Holland, this is the most abundant plant in East Africa. Its name is the acacia tree, also called the acacia tree, and it can be used as medicine. Not only does it look strange on the outside, its heart is actually even more strange.
The inner core of some acacia trees is black and very hard. Most African black wood carvings use the core of this tree as raw material.
Moreover, the branches of this tree are also an important local building material. Because these branches are covered with sharp long thorns, herdsmen or villagers will use it as the main material of fences or fences. It is not only tough but also prevents livestock from escaping.
or wild animals approaching.
In addition to these acacia trees of different heights and denseness, there is also a more special plant that you can't even see because their appearance is so unique. Compared with them, the acacia trees are simply too small.
A low-key, too ordinary plant.
The trunks of these special plants are extremely thick, some are like thick pillars, and some simply look like bowling pins. Compared with their trunks, their crowns are much smaller, as if they are in a tall
There is a garland on the bowling pin, which looks so disproportionate.
"This is called Boba tree in Europe, but it also has another more famous name called baobab tree!" Holland was very considerate and asked the black driver to drive the car to a huge tree that was 20 meters high.
I stopped below and explained this peculiar plant to several guests.
"Oh, I've heard of this name, and now I see it alive! Come on, come on, take a picture for me." It was a rare occasion for the fat boss to know something, and he seemed very excited, and he hugged this and his own figure affectionately.
It was very close to the tree trunk, and he planned to let Wei Han take a short section of it for him.
"No..." Holland tried to stop the fat boss's actions, but he shouted too late.
"Holy shit... what the hell does this smell like! Someone took a shit here!" The fat boss originally hugged the tree trunk with a smile, but after a few seconds, he frowned and let go.
Then he held his nose and left the tree.
"Uncle Fatty, please don't come here yet. You smell like that too...it really stinks!" When the fat boss walked back into the crowd, everyone immediately scattered and covered their noses to avoid him.
"It smells a bit, and I didn't step on anything! Ha! It's the smell on my hands, what the hell is this!" The fat boss also smelled the smell on his body, and started to lift his feet to see if he was
He stepped on some animal excrement, but there was nothing clean on the soles of his shoes, so he smelled the hands holding the tree trunk again.
"Hehehehe, this is something secreted by the breadfruit tree. It is used to lure bats to pollinate it. Each tree blooms at a different time. It only secretes this kind of thing when it blooms. Don't be afraid.
It's not poisonous, but it doesn't smell very good, and Xiao Keye is going to suffer." Holland was a little gloating, not only laughing at the fat boss, but also disgusting his fellow guides.
"Now that everyone has gotten off the bus and the smell of breadfruit has hit us again, let's just take a rest first and wait for the smell to dissipate before leaving. Tao, you and your companions come with me to give you a try
"The guns." Hoffman was quite considerate of Xiao Keye and did not let the convoy continue moving forward. Instead, he planned to use this rest time to distribute the guns. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated.
