A green bamboo leaf is as thick as a child's arm. It holds its head high and spits out a bright red message. It lies on the branch on the roadside of the mountain. If you don't look carefully, it is no different from an ordinary branch. It is so green that Michelle even wanted to use it just now.
I'm pushing this branch away with my hands.
The bamboo leaf green seemed to be frightened, with its mouth open, and Nobuko kept shrinking, moving in the direction where Michelle fell to the ground, and even hooked only its tail on the branch, and the whole body almost dropped to the ground, far away from Michelle's
The body is only a few dozen centimeters away.
Li Qingyun ran over in a few steps, raised the knife in his hand, and chopped off its head with one blow. The bloody green snake head fell to Michelle's feet, which scared her so much that she screamed again and even wanted to kill it with her feet.
It kicked away.
"Don't move!" Li Qingyun shouted sternly to prevent Michelle from moving. He put the hatchet next to the snake's head, but saw the snake's head suddenly opened its mouth and bit the hatchet. It refused to let go. Its cold eyes were filled with tears.
Resentment.
This change frightened Michelle so much that she screamed again, wondering why the dead snake could still open its mouth to attack. Li Qingyun seemed to have anticipated this situation, pointing to the snake's body that was still struggling and twisting, and said:
"Snakes have very strong vitality. Even if their heads are cut off, they can live for a long time. If you cut off the heads of venomous snakes and ignore their aggressiveness, they will die miserably."
This is the snake-catching knowledge that Li Qicun taught him. When Li Qicun saw a snake, he could only chop it with a knife or beat it to death with a wooden stick. If Li Qicun encountered the situation just now, he would definitely catch it with his hands.
The key to living in green bamboo leaves.
The hatchet that Zhu Yeqing bit into released a lot of transparent toxins. Li Qingyun broke off a branch, pried open the snake's head, and stuck it on the leaves for a long time before cleaning up the poisonous snake liquid on it.
Michelle got up from the ground a long time ago and stood carefully next to Li Qingyun, never daring to get close to any branch. After she entered the primitive mountains and fields, there was already a roar of wind and cranes, and the grass and trees were all in war.
The gold coins and copper coins were still shouting at the front. It was not a warning of danger, but rather a sound that they had discovered something and urged Li Qingyun to hurry up.
After walking out of this dark and humid forest, the front suddenly opened up. From the mountain col two or three miles away, there was smoke rising into the sky. When they were in the forest, they had already turned on their searchlights, but when they came out of the forest, they found that there was still a hint of the setting sun.
The remaining glow hangs on the hills in the west.
"Ah, there is someone in front of me. I wonder if he is one of our scientific expedition team members?" Michelle showed a happy face. The more people there are, the safer she will feel. But then I thought again, it would be nice to be alone with Li Qingyun.
You can eat and drink, and you can also enjoy his personal protection. If you encounter an accident, it's just a near miss.
"You'll know just by looking at the front." Li Qingyun stood on a high slope, looked around, and said with a bit of joy, "We are very close to Wangxian Peak. As long as we walk a little further, we should be able to return to the pioneering past.
On the mountain road. If there are any who have not rolled down the hillside, they should wait for us at the intersection ahead."
"It would be great to be able to join everyone. Regardless of whether this scientific expedition is successful or not, the most important thing is that there are no casualties. The meteorites are not that important, but they appear bizarrely and penetrated a space station, and even almost destroyed the space station.
Space station. Someone discovered at the location of the breakdown that these meteorites contained some abnormal things and a trace amount of radiation, so we were asked to investigate the situation."
"You know, searching for meteorites is a matter of luck. If we find one or two by chance, we have completed the task. But I didn't expect snakes to like these meteorites so much. I want snake experts to take over this kind of task.
They should be happy."
As she was about to leave the deserted jungle, Michelle was in a good mood and began to take the initiative to talk about the reasons for this scientific expedition.
Li Qingyun was very interested in these meteorites, especially the special performance of these meteorites in a small space. After hearing what Michelle said, he said: "When we first entered the mountain and encountered the first meteorite, those two American experts didn't want to
He gave up easily and even offered me a high price to go grab meteorites from the snakes."
"Haha, because the two American experts are real mineral experts and are very interested in meteorites, and my research fields are botany and bioengineering, and George is an insect expert. We are from a common loose research association,
The name of the association is "Onions". It peels away layer after layer of confusion. In the process, you may shed tears in pain. In the end, you may find nothing. But pursuing the truth and pursuing the truth is what every "Onion" has in common.
hobbies."
"Oh? How can such a loose organization cooperate with a national scientific expedition team?" Li Qingyun heard the name of this organization for the first time and had many doubts in his heart.
"We members all have our own real service organizations, that is, our own jobs. Similar search missions and exploration missions are only spontaneously initiated by the Onion Association, just like mercenary missions. You can accept it or not.
But if you succeed, you can get a hefty commission. And the person who issues the commission is often an important research laboratory or even a government department in a certain country."
"Oh, let's do this. I'll give you a website address and you can Google it later. If you are interested, you can also register as a temporary member. If you can complete a few entry-level tasks, you can also become a real member of Onion.
Our organization has no restrictions on nationality or race. Even a chimpanzee can become our official member as long as he can complete the entry-level tasks."
Saying that, Michelle enthusiastically told Li Qingyun a website address. It seemed that she wanted to invite Li Qingyun to join the Onion Research Association. She also said that when filling in the registration information, the recommender number should be hers. In this case, if Li Qingyun can
As a real member, she will also be rewarded with points.
Li Qingyun asked in confusion: "These are the matters of your scientific research experts. What can I, a small farmer, do after I enter? I am good at web page production, website construction, and maybe some gourmet cooking... If these are your onions
I think I can do what the Head Association needs."
Michelle said seriously: "No, you are wrong. Our association needs many different talents, all kinds. For example, the hunting dogs you trained are very good, and this can be your specialty. If our
If members want to go to China for scientific research in the mountains and need to go into the mountains, they need a hunter guide like you. If some distinguished members need wild food, your skills in field cooking can be put to use. If someone is in urgent need of a certain plant,
Planting herbs, and you can find them, is also a kind of task."
Li Qingyun felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. He felt that his role was to lead the way, like the traitor who led the Eight-Nation Allied Forces into China. Not only did he lead the way, but he also provided delicacies to the opponent in a very shameless way.
The barking of hunting dogs interrupted the conversation between the two. From the grass on the roadside, Gold Coin jumped out excitedly, holding a fat hare in its mouth, weighing about three or four kilograms, while Copper Coin followed closely behind, dissatisfied.
The shouting seems to be saying that it also has its own merits, not all the credit of the gold coins.
Li Qingyun took the hare from the gold coin's mouth, patted its head, praised it a few words, and then said to Michelle: "Today's dinner is in order. Raise a few good hunting dogs, and you will not starve to death if you go into the mountains without food."
Michelle has no objection to this, and she has long discovered the extraordinary features of these two puppies. Not only are they fast and powerful, they can also jump extremely high, just like cats. They can jump to someone at every turn.
Come to a higher place. The most important thing is that they are very smart. They seem to be able to understand what Li Qingyun is saying and hit where he points. They are very humane.
Li Qingyun carried the hare and quickly walked to the place where the smoke was rising. From a distance, he saw a half-clothed man squatting by the fire and roasting something. Judging from his anxious look, he didn't
I know how long I have been hungry, so I tear off a piece of meat from the barbecue rack and put it in my mouth from time to time.
When she got closer, Michelle covered her mouth and retched. It turned out that the person was George. He was roasting a cauliflower snake and several scorpions. What he just tore into was half-cooked snake meat.
And his body was almost covered with scars, a few scratches, and more traces of mosquito bites. As well as the bite marks of the mountain leech she had just seen this morning, several mountain leech were dragged by him.
When it breaks, the suction cup remains in the skin, there is redness and swelling near the wound, and even pus forms...
George was in a daze. When Li Qingyun and Michelle walked to the fire, he suddenly woke up, screamed, and grabbed the barbecue stick in a defensive posture.
Michelle hurriedly shouted: "George, it's us, what's wrong with you? Oh, God, where is your backpack? Why is there nothing around you?"
"Michelle... you are Michelle... great. I'm starving. Do you have anything to eat? I lost my backpack when I rolled down the hill. You don't know how I spent this time.
Two days... If I hadn't been carrying a lighter, I think I must have been eaten by wild beasts. Woohoo... it's so scary here... I saw a lot of venomous snakes, and I saw a wild donkey with black spots.
Eat meat..."
George's words were confused, his expression was miserable, he was crying and laughing, and his spirit was about to collapse. He suddenly rushed over, trying to grab Michelle's backpack, but was easily pushed away by Li Qingyun. Only then did he realize that he was bitten by a poisonous snake.
My leg is a bit lame, I wonder if it is not fully healed.
Li Qingyun threw him a box of canned beef and shouted with a cold face: "George, calm down and don't give me an excuse to beat you up. You know, I have always disliked you. If you eat this box of canned food, you will be roasted."
Throw the things away! You can’t roast the parasites in the snake meat to death, but eating them will cause problems in your stomach.”
Before Li Qingyun could finish speaking, George opened the can, squatted on the ground, and stuffed it into his mouth hungrily.
Seeing George's pitiful appearance, Michelle felt that she was extremely lucky. She had delicious food to eat, a brand-new tent to live in, and a mysterious oriental beauty to chat with.
After it calmed down, Michelle found that the detector on her wrist kept beeping, but the detector on George's wrist made no movement at all.
With food in his stomach, George finally felt a little more energetic. He raised his head and muttered: "My detector is out of power. The meteorite is in the creek in front. There are venomous snakes around. I don't dare to go there. I only kill them on the outside."
A non-venomous snake comes back and is roasted and eaten! Damn it, I never want to take on this kind of ghost mission again. Why do snakes like meteorites? They stick around meteorites! It doesn’t make sense!”
