Chapter 904 Withdrawal (Update 2)
When the Huang family in Fang County was panicking, classmate Le dug up plants adapted to semi-desert and desert environments in the Namib Desert and gravel plains, including succulents and poisonous Euphorbiaceae plants, and extracted A lot of raw materials for making poison.
I was busy until the evening and made a camp at the foot of a rocky mountain. I found a lot of dry firewood to make a fire. I roasted the clay eggs wrapped in rock rabbits over the fire. Then I took out the captured snakes and killed them. The snake blood and snake gallbladder were taken out. Put it in a glass bottle, bury the snake head deep in the sand, put the snake skin in a large glass bottle to soak in potion, and use a rust steel pot to boil the snake oil. A total of ten venomous snakes were caught and all were killed to refine the oil. After boiling the oil to a certain
point
, time, stir up the fire and sand, bury the mud eggs in them to stew, and then wait for the fire to cook the oil, waiting for food. Before it was time to dig out the mud eggs,
Le Yun heard a very subtle "rustling" sound and took out her head Put on the lamp, take out a pair of fire tongs, dig a hole in the sand, put a large and long glass bottle in the sand hole, surround it with sand, and let it stand firmly without falling over. After
ten For a few minutes, the thing that made a small noise revealed its true appearance: five or six centipedes were crawling over from between a few stones at the foot of the rocky mountain. The leading centipede was about twenty centimeters long and darker in color. There were a few slightly smaller centipedes at the back. Some are shorter, and the last few are small centipedes, which seem to have just changed their skins not long ago. They are very tender and translucent in shape.
Centipedes and snakes are mortal enemies. They smell the smell and come running.
When all the centipedes in a row crawl There are seven in total out of the pile of rocks, one long, three long and three short, arranged in a line. When the densely packed feet move, it will make people's scalp numb, and it is enough to scare people with trypophobia to death. The centipede crawls along the sand towards the buried snake
. The viscera crawled across the sand, making a slight noise when moving.
Le Yun, who had been waiting for a long time, took out the tongs and quickly took out the body of the leader centipede with a pair of pliers, picked it up and threw it into the glass bottle. The centipede was clamped, its arthropod-shaped body curled up around the pliers, trying to bite the pliers but unable to do so, and kept twisting and struggling.
Le Yun put the pliers on the mouth of the bottle and gently scraped it, scraping off the centipede's body from the tongs. Then she released the pliers and let it fall into the glass bottle. The centipede landed on the bottom of the bottle and still wanted to climb up. The glass bottle split. Slippery, with nowhere to climb, no way to climb up, wandering around inside.
Drop one and catch the second one.
The leading centipede was captured by humans. The other centipedes did not know it and were still crawling towards the target. It was easy to catch them. Use tongs to pick them up one by one and throw them into the bottle to reunite their whole family. The centipedes were messing around in the bottle. jump up.
Centipedes are also good medicinal materials and can be used to make poisons and medicines.
After catching a centipede, one of the seven poisonous insects, Le Yun took out a bottle of potion and poured it into a glass bottle to bathe the centipede. After soaking it for ten minutes, she used tweezers to pick up the centipede and set it next to a fire to roast it to death. Then she put it in a clean bottle and sealed it. Throw it back into space and continue to cook the oil.
In order to prevent other little creatures from spitting or peeing in the pot, she could not leave. She waited until eleven o'clock to sprinkle a circle of medicinal powder around her before meditating. A pot of snake meat was boiled until four o'clock in the middle of the night. Finally, it was boiled into oil and collected. It actually only comes up as a small bottle.
The smell of the snake oil in the pot was very strong. Leyun burned it with fire, sanded it with hot sand several times, brushed it with soil several times, boiled the soil again, and finally boiled the plants to remove the smell. It took many times to get rid of the smell. Fishy smell.
As for herself, she also took several baths to remove the smell of snakes stuck to her body and deal with the venomous snakes she caught. She also decided to change places and walk another seven or eight miles after dawn to contact the helicopter and let them come. catch.
The three people in charge of the helicopter received the Chinese girl's satellite phone call and contacted the designated point to pick the girl up on the plane and go to Opuwo, the largest city in the northwest region.
Opuwo is the capital of a large region in northwest Namibia. It has an airport. Because of its sparse population, it is actually equivalent to a town. The infrastructure is relatively old. Opuwo is also the place with the largest number of Himba people in Namibia.
The Himba people are also called the Red Clay People. Their people still retain the most primitive life. Men and women do not wear clothes and only use cloth or animal cloth to cover their shame. Women like to mix red mud and butter into paint and apply it on their bodies and hair, so they are called Red clay man.
It is not convenient to park a helicopter in the urban area, so the helicopter was parked at the airport. The drivers rested at the airport, and Le Yun happily took a taxi from the airport to go shopping in the urban streets.
There are red clay people in the city of Opuwo, and many Himba people close to the town have slowly accepted modern civilization. Men and women go to work, and some women also wear clothes and engage in various jobs.
Most of the city's large-scale buildings were built in the colonial era and are of European style. Modern architecture has mixed elements of African and European styles.
Opuwo is a place where many ethnic groups live with different cultures and customs, but it is also a diverse and inclusive place. Each ethnic group maintains its own characteristics and gets along harmoniously with other ethnic groups.
Enjoy the charm of the unique scenery on the street, carry the camera and click everywhere to take pictures, and take pictures of what interests you, not specifically to pursue the red clay figures.
While taking pictures, I went to look for shops and street stalls with special handicrafts, looking for ebony carvings and pottery. Unfortunately, all I saw were lifeless items. I went to a hotel to eat at noon, walked around again, and took a taxi back to the airport. Take a helicopter to the beach.
On the way back to Fria Bay, we took a walk around the rocky mountain where the Himba people collect red mud. Le went to study the stones, quietly carried a few stones back to space, and even picked up one and took it on the plane.
It was just after three o'clock in the afternoon when the helicopter returned to Fria Bay. The plane was parked in the desolate gravel garden backyard behind a hotel. The pilots lived in the hotel, so of course the plane also parked in the hotel grounds.
The drivers invited the little guests to drink coffee at the hotel. Le Xiaoxiao turned on his mobile phone and called the handsome guy Milo and asked where he was. After making the call, he waited at the hotel.
Milo was in another hotel. He received a call from a child and drove quickly to pick him up. He found the hotel where the child's pilots were staying. He saw the child standing at the door carrying a luggage bag and quickly drove over to pick him up.
"Xiao Lele, you also ran all over the desert, why can't you get a tan?" The child stayed in the desert for a few days, but his skin was still smooth and pink, and he didn't get a tan, which makes people jealous.
"I have good recovery ability. I tanned during the day and turned white again one night." Le Yun smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes: "Miluo, if I can't find a hotel to stay in tonight, I will steal your guest room."
"If there is no guest room, you don't have to fight for it. I will carry a sleeping bag and sleep in the yard." Milo turned the car around and took the child back to his hotel.
Fria Bay is a small town. In the blink of an eye, I arrived at the hotel where Milo stayed, booked a room, and checked in. It also had two guest rooms, and Mr. Le booked one room and had extra room, like the helicopter pilot’s room before. The hotel was fully booked due to its advantageous location.
The hotel rooms are very clean, with green space outside the window, including succulents and salad grass.
Putting the luggage in the guest room, Leyun put on the small backpack that never left her body and went to the beach with the handsome Milo. Milo had nothing to do and had already walked around the area, knew the way, and ran away with the children.
The place is small and there are no particularly meaningful scenic spots. Therefore, in fact, the bay is not well-known at all. Because it is the first necessary place to enter the coastal road from the inland, it has been developed into an intermediate stop for supplies or rest. Gradually it became prosperous.
It was still early, so Milo took the children to drive more than ten kilometers to the sandy plains near the hills and mountains to see Welwitschia and succulents.
Welwitwitschia grows entirely in the desert, and there are semi-desert dunes far away. Where there are no other plants, there are only clusters of Welwitwitschia, which makes people even more moved by the miracle of life.
No one else was present, and Xiao Le happily studied the Welwitschia, grabbing the sand with seeds from under their mother plants and then quietly hiding them back in space.
Milo ran to the rocky mountain to catch a rabbit, looking at the child eagerly, begging for something delicious.
The little loli couldn't resist the pitiful offensive of the handsome guy with blue eyes, and directed the handsome guy to collect dry firewood. She went to dig for plants and found some weeds and broad leaves of plants. The two of them dug some soil and then went to the beach. The handsome guy Milo dug In the mud at the seaside, the little loli killed and cleaned the rabbit, stuffed some medicinal herbs and plants into the rabbit's belly, pasted a cactus on the outside, wrapped it with wild grass and then wrapped it with a layer of leaves, and then dug the sea mud and water from the desert plain into the rabbit. The sand and mud are synthesized into mud cakes, and the rock rabbit wrapped in grass leaves is rolled into a mud egg, then wrapped with a layer of grass on the outside, and then the result is returned to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, the handsome guy Milo communicated with the hotel staff and said that he wanted to have a bonfire on the sand next to the hotel to roast shells and eat them. After getting permission, he went to the car to carry the firewood to a place with plants and sand to make a fire, and put the mud dumplings next to the fire. Bake it first, and bake some shells you picked up over the fire.
When the fire heated up the sand, the little Lolita and the handsome guy Milo moved the fire, buried the dried mud eggs in the sand, continued to light the fire, and grilled the shells to eat.
Someone was burning a bonfire. Many tourists thought that a tour group was having a bonfire party, so they ran to watch out of curiosity, and then they got to know each other. Everyone chatted all over the place, and it became more and more lively. Finally, those staying in the hotel had just finished their meal. Tourists who were visiting or who had just returned all ran to join in the fun. Even the hotel waiters were curious and came to join in the fun when they had time.
The little Lolita and the handsome guy Milo were very hospitable. Some guests went to the hotel to buy wine and had barbecue with the wine. This was a big deal. After eating the shells, they felt that it was not enough, so they bought some chicken and mutton from the hotel to continue grilling. The hotel waiter also Send a seasoning to let people eat barbecue in a variety of ways.
Planting flowers without intention will make them happy, but willows will become cute without intention. Milo and the children just want to burn a rabbit, but the result is great, it really turns into a bonfire barbecue party.
The tourists had finished having fun. The first few people who ran to join in the fun knew that something was baking in the sand and refused to leave, waiting to find out.
When the time was almost up, Le Xiaololi opened the fire and pulled out the hard clay balls. Handsome Milo put out the fire embers with sand and poured some water to prevent the strong wind from blowing sparks and causing a safety accident.
After the clay balls had cooled down and the adhering sand and fire ashes had been removed, Milo ran to the hotel and brought a basin of clay balls into the restaurant. He ordered Naguo's own wine, seafood and vegetables, and then asked the waiter to bring a few on a large plate. Small plates and knives to share delicious food with children.
The little loli smashed the mud shell with a knife, letting the fragrance make her drool. Then she peeled off the mud shell, picked away the grass and leaves, put the cactus piece by piece into several small plates, and finally moved the rock rabbit to the big plate. Cut it into pieces, then divide it into plates, and divided it into nine portions. Six portions were given to the tourists who never left to taste. A rabbit leg was given to the hotel waiters, and she and Miró each had a portion.
There is a piece of cactus on each small plate. Rabbit meat is paired with cactus. The color is attractive and the aroma is even more attractive. The six guests who got a portion of the barbecue happily placed their portions in front of themselves and asked the waiters to bring wine, bread and knives.
Milo was very happy to get a leg of rabbit meat and rabbit head. He couldn't bear to part with the oil in the mud shell. He poured it on his plate and immediately cut the meat into pieces. He ate the delicious food with red wine. Eat a little and spread it with bread. Eat it with oil dip.
Le Xiao’s classmate managed to eat delicious food by himself. He didn’t leave rabbit meat for himself. He only gave himself a piece of cactus and plant roots and ate hotel meals.
The six guests who got the delicious food imitated Milo's eating method and ate with gusto. Finally, they ate the bread with all the oil stains on it. The words of praise were like the water in the Grand Canyon of East Africa, flowing incessantly.
Several waiters took the delicacies given by the guests to the kitchen, each got a piece, and took turns to eat. Looking back, they saw the handsome European boy and the oriental girl, their eyes were particularly hot, and their smiles were particularly sunny and gentle.
After the six guests finished eating rock rabbit meat, they ordered Bailan's wine and went to sit in the lobby. After the meal, the young man and the oriental girl came out to invite them to drink. They talked freely and nudged the two young men to leave their addresses and e-mails. Contact and invite two young friends to visit them when they travel to their countries.
The eight of them talked about how they went to rest at 10:30 in the evening. In fact, the six travelers still wanted to chat with the girl and chat about the world. They heard that she went hiking in the desert a few days ago, and they also knew that hiking in the desert has its consequences. It was so difficult, so he reluctantly let the girl go to rest.
Considering safety, classmate Le slept honestly on the hotel bed that night, had a good sleep, got up before dawn, packed up, went to watch the sunrise with the handsome Milo, then returned to the hotel, had a simple breakfast, and checked out , go to another hotel to catch a helicopter to the next location.
The off-road vehicle that Milo rented was placed in the hotel, and the key was handed over to the hotel waiter to hand it over to the travel agency that came to receive the vehicle.
The helicopter took the little Chinese girl to the desert area in the south. It flew slowly all the way, stopping at Brand Mountain, the highest peak in Namibia, and the area known as the "Skeleton Sea". It didn't arrive at Namibia on the coastline of Walvis Bay until 1 p.m. Swakopmund is the second largest city.
The urban architecture of Swakopmund is European style, not far from the desert park with the famous Sand Dune 45 and Death Valley.
The helicopter stopped near the Linhai Luxury Hotel. After landing, we booked a room and had a delicious late lunch. Milo rented a car and took the children to see seals and flamingos.
