When pythons hunt, they usually capture living creatures based on heat sensing. The body of the wild dog that Li Qingyun hung on the branch has long been cold. If it had been eaten by a python, it would be a lot of fun. This means that this huge python is still alive.
It has been around for a long time and has developed other hunting abilities.
Li Qingyun remembered that most of the pythons in the nearby mountains and forests were five or six meters long. Big ones like this about ten meters were extremely rare. At least he and his grandfather had gone to the mountains many times before and only saw one. It was deep in the mountains, near Lotus Peak.
In the nearby dense forests, such as in mountainous areas, the chance of encountering such a big python is really very small.
Of course, there are other possibilities. If there are other ferocious beasts hiding nearby and secretly taking away the wild dog carcass hanging on a tree branch as high as a person... then this place is even more dangerous. If a wild dog carcass can be stolen at such a height, it must be a large one.
Cats, such as leopards and extremely old lynxes.
A gust of wind blew, and Li Qingyun shivered. He felt that it was not enough to be naked, so he quickly ran back to the tent and put on clothes. Maybe it was not because he was cold, but because he was afraid.
Michelle stayed close to Li Qingyun, fearing that she would be attacked by unknown monsters hiding in the dense forest. Even if there was no wild beast attack, if she got lost with this man, she would have nothing to eat and would starve to death.
In addition to necessary supplies and first aid items, there were only a few boxes of chocolates, a few bottles of multivitamin tablets, and a small amount of beef jerky and canned food in her backpack. Most of the food was at the military driver's place. If Li Qingyun hadn't provided game, she might have died this morning
Will be hungry.
"I don't know where the others are now? Do you think we should go back or keep going forward?" Seeing that Li Qingyun had put on his clothes, Michelle hurriedly packed her backpack and got ready to set off.
After several strong winds, the raindrops gradually became smaller. The gold coins and copper coins did not seem to feel the danger, and they were playing near the small bamboo shed. They caught a gray four-legged snake, and two unscrupulous hunting dogs used it as a ball. You kick it, I will kick it.
For a moment, this fast-moving four-legged snake was tortured until it lost all its strength.
Li Qingyun looked up at the sky, with a hint of joy on his face, and replied: "Those people jumped down the hillside with us. If they rolled to the bottom of the mountain, just like us, they would leave the canyon from the gentle slope here. If we go to
If we go forward, we will definitely meet them. If some people roll halfway and climb up again, they will continue to move forward according to the established mountain path. If we continue to move forward, we may meet them."
"As for going back? Haha, I don't know where this road leads. I have lived in Qinglong Town for so many years and I have never gone up the mountain from here. This is the first time..."
There are fewer clouds in the sky, and the entire sky becomes brighter, revealing pure blue. This clearly means that the rain clouds have disappeared and the sky will clear up soon.
Li Qingyun took out two disposable raincoats from his backpack, put one on himself, and gave another to Michelle. It was said to be a disposable raincoat, but it was actually a plastic raincoat, made of the same material as a convenience bag. When encountering fog or light rain when mountaineering,
It can prevent clothes from getting wet. If you encounter heavy rain or heavy rain, you can only do it, and it will not have much effect...
After putting the tent away and putting it in the backpack, there were only a few light raindrops in the sky. The two puppies barked excitedly, as if they had had enough of the heavy rain.
Before setting off, Li Qingyun walked to the side of the hillside again and looked at the canyon at his feet. There were surging floods and strong currents. It would be impossible to take this shortcut in a short time. He didn't know when the water would drain out.
Woolen cloth.
Walking up the mountain, there was no road, so I had to rely on a hatchet to clear the way. There were locusts, toads, four-legged snakes, hedgehogs... There were so many of these things that Li Qingyun felt numb all the way. Fortunately, the connection between his pants and shoes was tangled.
Wear strips of cloth and white gloves on your hands. If there are any leech stuck to it, you can find it quickly.
At noon, the light rain also stopped, and a blushing sun hung in the sky. The hazy halo was very beautiful. Li Qingyun stood on the top of a hill with few weeds and breathed a sigh of relief. The road down the mountain looked good and gentle.
, leaning towards the west, there are a lot of weeds, but not too many thorns and shrubs.
After going down the mountain, there will be a very gentle distance with no peaks, so there is no need to work so hard.
Li Qingyun took off his disposable raincoat, put down his backpack, and sat on it to rest. The raincoat was already tattered by vegetation, so Li Qingyun tied it into a ball and put it back into his backpack. It was of no use anymore, but he didn't want to destroy the nature here.
environment.
Michelle followed suit, sitting next to Li Qingyun, breathing heavily, and put the tattered disposable raincoat into her backpack.
Like magic, Li Qingyun took out two big tomatoes and gave one to Michelle.
"Eat whatever you want to fill your stomach, and the fire will not start at noon. Because there is no game to hunt nearby, and there is no water pool, and the forest is very wet, so the fire cannot be started."
Michelle took the tomatoes, her eyes widened, and she looked at Li Qingyun's backpack with a strange look: "How many good things are hidden in your backpack? Can you sit on it if you put such fruits and vegetables in your backpack?"
"You can eat what you have, why are you asking so much? Eat quickly, it will quench your thirst, and there will be a self-heating lunch box later, so I won't make you hungry anymore." Li Qingyun said, eating a fist-sized tomato in two or two bites.
After eating, under Michelle's eyes that were almost numb with surprise, she took out two boxes of self-heating lunch boxes from her backpack.
The self-heating lunch box is the result of the reaction between the water bag in the lunch box and the heating agent packaged in non-woven fabric. Once the plastic strip is pulled away, the water bag will be broken. At this time, the heating agent will react chemically with the water.
This causes the exothermic agent to dissipate heat evenly and generate heat up to 120 degrees. After six minutes, the temperature of the food will reach 55-70 degrees, and then you can have delicious food.
After the heat-generating agent reacts with water, the steam generated is non-toxic and harmless, and the dishes are diverse and easy to carry and store. It is one of the best choices for close-range mountain climbers or outdoor adventurers.
Of course, it has many advantages and disadvantages... There are not many disadvantages. One is enough, that is, it is very heavy. One box weighs close to 500 grams, and 10 boxes is 5,000 grams, which is equivalent to the weight of the entire contents of an ordinary person's backpack.
Michelle was no longer able to complain. She had long been conquered by Li Qingyun's weird backpack. She blew in the cool breeze and admired the beautiful scenery at the bottom of the mountain. She slowly took a bite of the tomato with an extremely elegant gesture, and then screamed and pulled out of the backpack from the backpack.
Jump up.
"Oh, dear Yun, are you related to God? Why is everything you bring out so delicious?"
Li Qingyun had unpacked the lunch box, opened the seal, and started heating it. He had already anticipated Michelle's reaction, so he just smiled and said: "I don't know God, and I don't have a dime to do with him. Also, I don't know God."
, when you get more delicious things from me in the future, don’t be surprised, just enjoy it with peace of mind.”
"Okay...but I can't help it! It's so delicious..." Michelle's eyes were filled with happy little stars. For a senior foodie, being able to eat a delicious food that she has never enjoyed before is definitely a blessing.
It is the ultimate happiness.
Not long after, the rice and vegetables in the lunch box were already heated. One was braised pork with pickled vegetables and the other was shredded fish-flavored pork. It smelled very fragrant, but when you actually tasted it, the taste was very different from the game Li Qingyun made.
You have to compare yourself to others, and you have to throw away when comparing goods. If you are used to eating delicious food, eating these box lunches is like chewing wax and is difficult to swallow.
"God, if I wasn't too hungry, I would never eat a bite. Is this pork belly with pickled vegetables? It's a dark mass, what the hell is it? Is this really edible? Dear Yun, how about we change it?
Want to change? Your fish-flavored shredded pork looks good!" Halfway through the meal, Michelle couldn't bear the gap and proposed to exchange lunch boxes with Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun didn't care. Although it was a bit weird to eat what the other party had eaten, the other party was a beautiful woman, very healthy, and had no psychological barriers. In addition, the two of them had been in close contact for the past two days, so they could do more intimate things.
"Okay, for the sake of you being able to name the Chinese dishes, I'll trade with you." With that, Li Qingyun handed the half-eaten fish-flavored shredded pork to Michelle, and took the half portion she handed over.
Pork with pickled vegetables.
After taking two bites, I found that the taste was indeed not good, and it was not spicy, so I couldn't eat it. I had to take out a box of mixed pickled peppers and kimchi from my backpack, put it between the two of them, chewed slowly, and endured the food.
ordinary.
There are several groups of sparrows chirping in the nearby forest. Through the dense branches and leaves, you can see a patch of attractive red wild cherries. The sparrows are chirping and eating the fresh fruits that have ripened after the rain.
"Wow, this is delicious! It's sweeter than what we grow in the mountains! I'll pick some and bring them back!" Li Qingyun ran into the middle of the forest with the lunch box and drove away the sparrows in the forest.
"Go after eating the lunch! Yun, be careful of the mountain leeches in the forest!" Michelle shouted outside the forest. She couldn't see what Li Qingyun was doing inside. But not long after, Li Qingyun ran out holding a handful of red cherries.
, placed on several broad leaves for Michelle to taste.
"Try it, it tastes very good, not much worse than the tomatoes just now. I ate it on the tree, you don't have to leave it for me." Li Qingyun had actually dug up the two wild cherry trees and moved them into a small space.
Michelle ate a few cherries, nodded, but then shook her head, with a somewhat conflicted expression.
Li Qingyun asked strangely: "What's wrong? This was my favorite fruit when I was a child, and I'm still very excited when I see it now. I remember that I went to the mountains with my grandfather, and in order to pick more wild cherries, my finger was almost bitten by a bamboo leaf!"
Michelle struggled to explain: "It's sour and sweet, with a light fruity wood fragrance. It's the best cherry I've ever tasted. But...compared to the tomatoes you gave me, I always feel like there's something missing.
.I feel like the tomatoes or cucumbers you gave me have energy. After eating them, I feel energetic. The taste also has that energy, which makes their aroma different from other fruits and vegetables. That aroma is very special.
, cannot be described in words..."
Li Qingyun laughed secretly after hearing this. Isn't it just that there is a lack of aura? Things in a small space have very strong aura. How can the fruits and vegetables grown outside have such a strong aura? It's really extraordinary to be able to let a foreign girl explain this matter clearly.
Difficult. However, Michelle’s use of “energy” instead of “spiritual energy” is quite appropriate.
