Chapter 1389: 1389. The Mountain of Morning (3/5)
Chapter 1389 1389. Mountain of Morning (35)
Unexpectedly, he ran into trouble as soon as he entered the mountain, which made Li Du quite depressed.
Ah Bai's condition was not bad, the bullet didn't hit him, but was swept by some projectiles, so after hemostasis and bandaging, his life was basically not in danger, but he had to be carried away for a long time.
However, the bullets did a lot of damage to it, and Ah Bai's back became sluggish, without the weirdness of the past, and fell asleep directly after returning to the camp.
Li Du touched Ah Miao's head, handed it a piece of fresh fish, and said, "Let's eat, clean up after dinner, and change camp."
The other party's group may not let it go after suffering a loss. Judging from their previous exchanges, the other party is not only the six people, but there are other people.
Li Du's camp was too conspicuous by the lake. If the other party came to sneak attack them at night with a grudge, no matter whether they succeeded or not, it would be a troublesome thing and a big hidden danger.
Moreover, he was also worried that the other party would call the police. After all, they had small-caliber automatic rifles on them, and such military weapons were not allowed to be used by civilians.
After listening to his analysis, Luguan said: "Did they dare to call the police? These sons of bitches are poachers. They call the police, and the police arrest them first."
Brother Wolf said: "Actually, I can't tell what their identities are. I say they are poachers because I pour dirty water on them and let us gain the initiative."
Lu Guan said: "But they didn't refute."
This does not prove anything. Ah Miao scratched their faces and mouths very cunningly, and they dare not make any expressions on their back faces, let alone speak, otherwise it would be very painful if the facial muscles were involved.
What could have been a leisurely meal turned into a mess.
Before it was completely dark, Li Du and the others ate hastily, packed up the tent, and continued walking into the mountains.
There are many tree species growing in the Blue Ridge, and the forest on the mountain is extremely lush. They gave up their bicycles and went up the mountain into the woods.
In this way, Li Du saw more trees, such as Tang Di, Bauhinia, Hawthorn, Tulip Tree, Dogwood, Acacia, Sourwood and Buckeye Tree, and so on.
These trees can bloom, and the flowers bloom brilliantly, and they have their own style in the afterglow of the setting sun.
In addition, there are wild flowers such as heather, blueberry, holly, rose and rhododendron on the mountain. Perhaps because of the low altitude, these paintings bloom all over the mountains and plains in summer, which is extremely beautiful.
Brother Wolf found a relatively empty flat land in the woods. It was already dark at this time, so they could only camp here.
Lu Guan asked worriedly: "Are there any beasts here? Let's get angry, sir."
"What kind of beasts are there? American bison, wolves? There are only these large beasts in the entire Appalachian Mountains, but they have disappeared for a long time, and they must have been extinct long ago." Li Du shook his head indifferently.
Brother Wolf said: "There are still wolves in the mountains in the north of Canada, but not here. The boss is right, there is not much danger here."
Not long after their conversation ended, the bushes not far away shook, and several large animals vaguely appeared.
Ah Miao and Ah Ao stared at the past, Li Du quickly turned on the flashlight, and then several white-tailed deer appeared in the light.
Startled by a sudden light in the darkness, the white-tailed deer quickly disappeared without a trace, leaving only the swaying bushes.
Large game such as wolves and mountain lions once lived in the Appalachian Mountains, but they have disappeared due to hunting and disease.
For nature, this is not a good thing. The food chain in the mountain area has been destroyed. There is no hunting of wild animals, and animals such as white-tailed deer, reindeer, moose, and elk are flooding.
Fortunately, the Appalachian Mountains are lush with vegetation and can withstand the pressure brought by a surge of herbivores.
Additionally, North American hares and some rodents are found throughout Appalachia.
After a good night's sleep, Li Du got out of the tent when the sun rose in the morning, and then he saw several eastern gray squirrels, hares and weasels on the ground.
Ah Miao and Ah Ao squatted among these prey proudly, needless to say, this is their masterpiece.
Ah Bai also woke up, but his mental state is still not good, which is the reason for the excessive blood loss.
Li Du first fed him some fruits and dried fruits, and then gave him some honey water. Ah Bai was not in the mood, but he was still able to eat, and his belly soon swelled up.
After tidying up the three boys, he got up and stretched himself, and a brand new Appalachian mountain appeared in front of him.
The early bird gets the worm, and the woods are full of chirping birds. The wild turkeys, grouse, mourning doves, wood ducks, yellow warblers and other wild birds that I saw yesterday fluttered around in the woods.
Li Du looked to the east, and saw the red sun rising slowly, and the light fell on the dew on the branches and leaves of the plants, emitting gem-like light, dotted with stars, gorgeous and dazzling.
Many flocks of birds fly towards the east, and their figures pass by the sun, big or small, adding a lot of movement to the morning in the mountains and forests.
Brother Lang lit a fire to prepare breakfast. He didn't finish the broth and fish soup last night, so he reheated it.
Broth with dry bread, and pure wild fruits picked in the jungle, firecrackers went to climb trees to find some bird nests, and Li Du used them to make fried eggs, so the breakfast was quite rich.
It was very tiring to climb the mountain, and everyone was already hungry. They devoured the meal when they had breakfast, thinking that the meal was very delicious.
When packing up, Brother Wolf said, "There are some edible mushrooms in the woods, let's pick them up later."
Living in the woods can be completely self-sufficient. For meat, there are deer and hares. For vegetables, there are wild vegetables and mushrooms. There is fat in venison, which can be removed for cooking. There are also many fruits in this season. No matter what kind of food you want to eat, It can always be found in the mountains.
They left the mountain road and began to climb deep into the mountain, and now it was difficult to move forward.
A Bai lay in Li Du's backpack, looking at the trees around him, he could only sigh in awe.
This is its home court, and if it hadn't been injured, it would have climbed the tree and gone crazy.
After climbing for half an hour, Brother Wolf, who was opening the way ahead, suddenly raised his arms and shook hands into a fist.
Li Du thought he was in some trouble, but Brother Wolf turned around and said, "Let's take a detour, there is a big beehive ahead."
Lu Guan refused to accept it, and said: "The honeycomb, right? There is honey to eat, I'll go and see how big the honeycomb is, is it enough for us—Xue Te, hurry up and detour!"
In front of me was a dwarf beech, thick with boxers, not tall but extremely strong.
From the middle of the trunk to the crown, a beehive hangs in it. At a glance, the tree and the beehive look like a bunker.
I don't know how many bees are flying outside the hive, and a large group of black and white bees, after flying over the forest, it looks like a dark cloud has appeared!
