Five hundred and fifty-eight chapters drop bugs from the sky
"Holy shit! This is the One-horned Fairy! Anaya! Anaya! Come down and see what this is!" Hong Tao didn't even need to point his finger at the big gun lying in the bucket.
beetle.
The guy's body is as big as an adult's hand. The hard shells of a pair of elytra on its back are khaki in color, and there are some black dots. The weirdest thing is not that it is too big, but that it has a long head.
There are two long shiny black horns on the top and bottom. The long one on top is integrated with the head, almost as long as the body, and the one on the bottom is slightly shorter.
In his previous life, Hong Tao had talked about similar large beetles at the flower, bird, fish and insect market in Guanyuan. They were all sold as pets. He only remembered that there was one kind of beetle with only one horn on its head, and the merchant labeled it as a unicorn fairy.
, as for the name of the guy with two horns in front of him, he didn't know. He had to ask Anaya about this.
"Oh!!! Virgin Mary! You are rich. Where did you get this from?" Anaya was also woken up by Hong Tao. Before he even got off the hammock, he was shouting on it.
.
"Yes, Fatty, where did you catch this thing?" Hong Tao also thought of this question at this time. The boat was tied under the tree, surrounded by water. Where did Fatty get this kind of bug?
"My grandson just went to catch it! I was lying down reading a book when this thing fell from above, hit the book directly, and then fell into the bucket. Look, there is a hole in the cover of the book.
, If this falls on my face, I will be disfigured!" Fatty Bu shook off the Amazon fish atlas with his hand, pointing to a regular hole in it and said.
"This is called a gift from God. Which one of you has a ruler?" Anaya and the sturgeon both climbed down from the hammock, and Anaya grabbed the big beetle from the fish poke.
It didn't accept life. Not long after it fell down, it started to bite the bodies of the fish. At this time, there was still a small piece of fish meat in its mouth, and it was struggling with its teeth and claws while swallowing the fish meat.
"I have it here!" Hong Tao and Sturgeon both carry rulers. This is a must-have equipment for fishing. It is used to measure the length of the fish caught, the bust size, etc. It is usually just a keychain, which is very convenient.
hanging on clothes.
"Come and help me measure how long it is. The measurement must be careful and accurate to millimeters. This is related to its price!" Anaya put the beetle on the deck, tried to hold its back, and then commanded
Hong Tao used a small tape measure to measure the beetle's height from beginning to end.
"17.4 centimeters." Hong Tao gestured several times and finally determined a reading.
"No problem, it can be sold for at least 10,000 reais. You guys will be rich!" Anaya was very excited when he saw this reading. He asked Hong Tao to make several small loops with waste fishing lines, and then cut the beetle's two limbs straight
He tied the long horns and entangled the six long spiny legs in a ball of fishing line so that it could no longer struggle. Then I found an empty bucket and put it in.
"Can this thing be worth 10,000 reais?" Hong Tao was surprised when he heard Anaya's words. Although this thing is kept as a pet in many parts of the world, 10,000 reais is about 3,000 US dollars, and it is still in
Origin, if it were sent to the United States or Europe for sale, the price would be ten times higher!
"Sure, there are buyers in Manaus. Those over 15 centimeters are worth this price. This one should be more valuable. But I don't know much about it. I have to ask for details. Its body shape and the shape of its horns are all
Depending on the price, I will find an expert to help you sell it and give him a small commission." Ananya carefully covered the empty bucket, took out a knife, and cut it on the plastic bucket lid.
Several holes were poked to serve as ventilation holes.
"Can we take it back to China?" Hong Tao asked a very stupid question.
"It should be impossible. The export of this kind of rhinoceros worm is strictly prohibited. After the black market traders buy it back, they will not smuggle the adult worm directly, but will wait for it to lay eggs and turn into flesh worms before smuggling it out. Those meat worms will be smuggled out.
Insects are very quiet and can live for a long time as long as you put some leaves or hide them in wood. If you take this big guy directly, you may not even be able to pass the airport security check, and you will be fined if you are found!" Ananya shook her head and denied Hong Tao.
hypothesis.
"Okay, Fatty, do you have any objections? This bug came for you, and you should be considered its guardian." Hong Tao gave Fatty Bu the final say.
"I think we should stop fishing. We can catch some of these bugs and sell them. No need to catch more, just one every day is enough!" Fatty Bu can sell a bug for 3,000 US dollars at a time, and both of his eyes are covered with it.
Franklin's profile picture is almost revealed.
"Do you think Brazilians are very stupid? If Ananya can catch one bug every day, why would he open a hotel to earn the hard work?" The sturgeon was lying on the bucket looking at the big beetle inside.
When Fatty Bu came to him, he immediately retorted.
"That's right! You can't take it back anyway, so just sell it. We don't understand this. I'd say this Anaya man is really good. If he tells us about this bug and he takes it back and keeps it for himself, we will
Just leave it to him and let him figure it out." Fatty Bu also expressed his affirmation of Anaya's character.
"That's it, this is an accident. Should we go fishing? By the way, Ananya, are these bugs easy to catch?" Hong Tao also asked Fatty Bu to lower his IQ, and finally asked Anaya again.
Naya is a retarded question.
"The number is getting smaller and smaller, especially the big ones. They all live in fallen leaves and tree holes deep in the rain forest. They only fly out when they mate. They can fly as far as tens of kilometers, which is very long."
It's rare to encounter such a big one. Even if
I have only seen such a big rhinoceros when I was a child. You are favored by God." Anaya kept crossing himself on his chest, probably he was also praying to his Holy Mother and Heavenly Father.
OK, give him a big insect too!
Since there is no hope of catching bugs, let's go fishing. The big bugs have disturbed the afternoon nap, but no one feels sleepy. If one less sleep can be exchanged for 3,000 US dollars, Hong Tao can persist for decades.
Take a nap.
As the saying goes, good fortune never comes singly, and misfortunes never come singly. After making a lot of money in vain, Hong Tao and the others had a very unhappy fishing experience in the afternoon. First, there was a problem with the bait. The watermelon was rotten, and the pulp inside was rotten, leaving only one
Layers of melon rind. Just let melon rind be. Anyway, those fish are not that particular, so it’s good to eat some.
When the bait was thrown into the water, some fish did come to bite the bait, but it was not a tamaki, but a half-foot-long small miscellaneous fish that looked a bit like a hybrid of domestic crucian carp and bream. The locals called them
Limba is one of the few vegetarian fish in the Amazon River Basin.
Encountering a large group of fruit rimbas, Anaya had no choice. The reason why he could catch tamaki on this tributary was mainly because the river bank was covered with a kind of palm tree, and the palm fruits on the tree would fall into the water.
This kind of fruit has a hard shell, and only fish such as Tampaji can bite open the hard shell outside, so there are a lot of Tampaki fish gathered here.
But now it is not the turn of the slow-moving Tampaji to swim over to eat the watermelon rinds. The fruit Limbas have already taken the bait, and they are catching more and more. The watermelon rinds bitten by the fish have formed a nest, attracting
Come and fight for more fruit limba.
"Forget it, it's getting late. We picked up a lot of money for nothing today. Let's go back early to celebrate. Let's drink more in the evening!" Hong Tao was already annoyed by those fruit rimbas and was not even interested in fishing.
No more, I didn’t feel energetic after seeing Fatty Bu and Sturgeon, so I had to suggest that we plan on fishing today in advance. Anyway, we still have time tomorrow, so don’t be in a hurry.
There was an accident that day, and the fishing operation had to be temporarily suspended. The five barrels of gasoline that were originally planned to be shipped in the next two days were brought over by a passing cargo ship. Ananya could no longer accompany Hong Tao and the others because they had to wait for the cargo ship.
Went out fishing,
Not only is it impossible today, but I'm afraid it will be difficult tomorrow too, because he has to drive his small boat to deliver these five barrels of gasoline to Barcelos upstream, which is more than 70 kilometers one way from the Grand River Hotel. Anaya's small boat cannot
Just one round trip a day.
But this is not a big problem. Anaya said that if Hong Tao and the others still wanted to continue fishing, it would be more than enough for the young man from the hotel to accompany them. They had also grown up by the Negro River since they were young, and they used to often
Accompany the tourists to go fishing. Or Hong Tao and the others will go to Barcelos for two days with them. The tropical fish fishing boats mentioned yesterday basically docked in Barcelos.
In the end, Hong Tao discussed it with Fatty Bu and Sturgeon, and decided to rest for two days and follow Ananya to Barcelos. On the one hand, he had a slight strain on his arm muscles while fishing in the past two days, and he should have rested.
After resting, on the other hand, they are now more superstitious about Anaya and don’t trust others as guides. In addition, Anaya also threw out a bait that he could take a day to take them on the return trip.
I went to visit the familiar Indian tribes along the coast, but Hong Tao and the others quickly took the bait.
The cargo ship carrying gasoline arrived at the Grand River Hotel at around 8 o'clock. After unloading the five barrels of gasoline, it left in a hurry. Hong Tao and the others helped Anaya roll the gasoline barrels onto their small wooden boat, and then began to head towards Negros.
Depart for the small port of Barcelos up the river.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Anaya's boat docked at the port of Barcelos. This small city has less than 20,000 people. It is located on the west bank of the widest part of the upper reaches of the Negro River. Because the terrain here is slightly higher than
Other places, so even in the rainy season, the surrounding rainforest is flooded, and the small town will still be above the water level, like an isolated island.
