In the jungle, the two of them moved forward at a constant speed, and the sounds of breathing came and went. Of course, professional outdoor enthusiasts know how to adjust their breath. The most taboo thing about hiking with heavy loads is talking to disturb the breathing rate. But Zhou Shengsheng and He Congshuang are certainly not professionals, and they are tired from walking.
I want to say something to divert my attention.
Zhou Sheng was huffing and puffing, and said intermittently: "When I was in college, I would run on the playground every day..."
"Did you graduate not long ago?"
Zhou Sheng was confused, how did she know?
He Congshuang seems to be able to read minds: "People who are a little lazy about exercise cannot afford such a heavy thing. Besides, you have a good figure and you don't look old. How old are you this year?"
"Twenty-four years old in September."
"That's four years younger than me..." She is twenty-eight years old, which is actually not that old. In many people's impressions, she still looks like the teenage superstar she was when she debuted at the age of sixteen. The first impression is often preserved for a long time.
.
"Take a break?"
Zhou Sheng was relieved: "Yeah."
The two stopped and walked to a collapsed rotten wood. He Congshuang kicked the wood to make sure there were no scary snakes and insects. Then he sat down casually and then naturally fetched water from his pocket to get wet.
paper towels, and handed one to Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng took it and the wet wipes were warmed, but the alcohol content inside them quickly evaporated when applied to his face, bringing a refreshing feeling.
But the muddy feeling on my body lingered.
The dense forest is like this. Ankara and Basi in South America are at the same latitude, but the concept is not very clear yet. But if you go further northeast, you will reach the Congo rainforest. The Amazon on the other side of the ocean is called the lungs of the earth, and the Congo rainforest is
The second lung of the earth.
Being in the rainforest is like being in a sauna. The sun is like a hot stone. The abundant water vapor in the rainforest is constantly splashing on the stone, always keeping it steaming and sultry.
Zhou Sheng and He Congshuang's bodies were already completely wet. Even the best breathable jackets didn't work. They seemed to be soaked in water.
Undo the Velcro on the sleeves...
Wow.
A small amount of water poured out from Zhou Sheng's wrist.
He Congshuang did the same action, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it's quite uncomfortable. I want to plunge into the swimming pool and not come out."
"What? You don't want to?" He Congshuang was confused.
"I really want to, but what you say is unrealistic and will only make people more distressed..."
He Congshuang's eyes were shining, as if he was amazed by Zhou Sheng's brain circuit, and then he smiled and shook his head.
"Hey...hehe, Rebecca, how did you find this place in the first place?"
"I lost my way and was rescued by Delia who happened to be out for supplies."
"Then you stayed?"
"Well, I want to do something different."
Zhou Sheng asked again: "How long have you been here?"
"More than three months... I plan to stay here until the end of the year, and I will leave at the end of the year."
Three months.
Zhou Shengsheng couldn't imagine that He Congshuang came back alone from the dense forest last night, which meant that she was not wasting her life in the past three months, but was really doing something, and traveling among the tribes in the dense forest, otherwise she would not have done anything.
May know the way.
Anyway, Xiao Zhou Tongxiao was just confused in this jungle. He couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. Even if he could, it would be difficult to see the clearly traceless road that He Congshuang recognized as a 'small road'.
After chatting for a while, the two set off again. In He Congshuang's words: "The longer you rest, the more tired you will be. It will be fine when you get to the place."
The destination of the two is called Mulebu. Totem is a kind of wild fruit unique to the local area. The specific name is unclear. Anyway, the literal translation of the pronunciation is called Mule. It is twenty-seven kilometers away from Gray Worm Department.
But it was these twenty-seven kilometers that allowed the two of them to walk from morning to sunset without any sign of the tribe.
The journey was too difficult. I stumbled many times and fell a lot. Although my pants were not torn, Zhou Sheng could feel the burning pain in his knees. After the long journey, he was extremely tired and everything was numb.
The same is true for He Congshuang...
Then, from the beginning, the two of them still had the energy to chat, to the point where even if the other party falls, they don't have the energy to ask, "Are you okay?"
Climb a mountain ridge.
There was a faint firelight swaying at the foot of the mountain, vaguely outlining the outline of the village.
In the boundless darkness, the firelight of the village is small, which makes people feel the majesty of nature.
The two of them breathed their last breath and finally went down the mountain and came to the tribe.
The situation there was roughly the same as that of the Gray Worm Division. If he hadn't been tortured so far, Zhou Sheng would even think that he was still in the Gray Worm Division.
The locals did not express surprise at the appearance of the two men.
With no obstruction, Zhou Sheng followed He Congshuang and drove straight in. When they arrived at a house, they finally took off their backpack and sat down on the stairs at the door.
The people in the house heard the noise and came out. It was Delia: "Thank you for your hard work. Hey, why are you here, Zhou?"
Zhou Sheng held his hands behind his back and looked up: "Dan felt a little uncomfortable, so I came."
"You must be exhausted, two poor children, I'm going to get water." She was not invited into the house, because Delia knew that the two of them couldn't move. If Dan was there, the situation would be much better.
Fat Dan is not puffy, but strong. The physique and willpower of the former special forces soldiers are beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
Delia brought water, but the two of them didn't dare to drink it. After the body is dehydrated, drinking a lot of water will reduce the body's salt content, causing cramps and dizziness. After taking a few sips, the two put down the water bowl.
Allow yourself to gradually adapt to fatigue.
Delia stayed by her side and talked about the situation within the tribe: "The chief probably agreed to the suggestion that the children of the tribe go to the Diyol tribe school to study. The children are very happy."
After He Congshuang heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and his innocence was bright: "That's good, I am happier than the children."
Of course Zhou Shengsheng didn't understand what the two were talking about, and it probably involved another tribe's affairs.
After the two were almost rested, the three of them entered the house together and took two large bags of things in. While packing, Delia explained: "This is a newly 'developed' tribe by us. It is not easy for them to accept us.
…”
Delia's rough plan, Dan had already talked about it.
If you want to be accepted by the tribe, you have to 'corrode' them little by little with small favors. Mule tribe is the fourth village that Delia came to. Because their living conditions are better than other tribes, they think that their life is good.
, without the help of others.
Therefore, Delia wanted to train her children to learn outside knowledge and languages, but they did not agree at first.
Later, Delia asked Dan to carry a small engine and install it on the village's wooden boat, which allowed them to see the power of technology and brought stronger fishing nets... By the way, not far from Mule Village is
What Dan called 'The Big Lake' earlier.
When Zhou Yisheng took out the contents of his backpack, he felt dizzy...
No wonder it’s so heavy. I carried a large bucket of marine engine diesel oil on my back.
After packing their things, the three of them sat together and ate some dry food and drank boiled water.
"How are the patients over there?"
"The operations were all successful, and some people are already able to go to the ground. I think after I go back, I can consider sending three appendicitis patients back first, to see if there are any new patients, and to bring medical equipment and medicines."
"This is great. With the financial assistance from you and the Kuzmila family, our patients here can also get help. What's even better is... with you and Tang here, I don't have to run around. In the future, when there are surgery patients,
How about leaving it to you?"
Aid does not discriminate between people, not only the patients of the Leiya tribe will be treated, but also the patients of Ms. Delia.
After all, the surgical cart and equipment belong to others.
Say it again.
The more patients there are, the greater Zhou Yisheng's profits will be. He needs more surgeries to improve himself...
"Of course no problem."
…
Ms. Delia's treatment in the Mule Department is obviously not as good as that in the Gray Worm Department.
night.
Three people sleep in one room.
Delia and He Congshuang were on the bed, and Zhou Sheng made the floor.
There is one man and two women, and they are two pretty women, but there is obviously no charming scene.
How to say...
Everyone is a decent person.
And all three of them smell bad.
Although the lake was not far from the village, taking a bath at night was a luxury, so they just wiped it with a wet cloth before going to bed.
Does the beautiful woman smell of orchid? Are all her farts smelling like strawberry?
