Chapter 1390 1390. Someone Behind (45)
Wild honey has a very high value. If you encounter it, Li Du is happy to collect some, but there is a premise that it can save your life.
Compared with artificially raised domestic bees, wild bees are more toxic. If you encounter them, you should run away quickly, otherwise you will die collecting honey but not enjoying it.
The fearless Godzilla became terrified when he saw the wild bees, and he whispered, "Let's take a detour and hurry, these bastards are very fierce, a little stimulation can trigger their attack!"
Li Du looked at the beehive reluctantly, how much honey is in such a big beehive!
He opened the forest map, and Brother Wolf quickly found another route.
The vegetation below the mountainside was luxuriant, and on the new line they encountered groups of hardwoods, red spruce, gum fir, beech, ash, and birch.
At noon, they chose a mountain stream.
The stream gurgled down, and clear water appeared in the rocks.
Li Du went up to wash his face, and found that the stream water was very cool, which was rare in summer, and it was cool and comfortable to wash his face with stream water.
After washing his face, he was about to get some water, but two salamanders emerged one after the other from the crevices of the rocks by the stream. They were as long as Li Du's palm, with bright red spots on their backs.
Because the body color was too gorgeous, Li Du was not sure whether they were poisonous, so he called Brother Wolf over.
Brother Wolf took a look and said, "Red-spotted salamander, this is something that can be encountered in many streams in the Appalachian Mountains. It is rich in protein and can be eaten."
As soon as it is edible, Godzilla is ready to attack.
Li Du stopped him helplessly, and said, "What can such a small thing be eaten? What's more, there may be no parasites in this thing, let them go."
Godzilla smacked his lips regretfully and said, "It looks delicious."
As usual, firecrackers set up the stove, Brother Lang lit the fire, and Li Du got ready to cook after fetching water.
He originally wanted to release Ah Miao and Ah Ao to find food, but after thinking about it, he finally kept Ah Miao and sent Ah Miao out.
Ah Meow walks silently in the jungle, even if there are hunters or poachers, they will not be able to find it, so it should not encounter any danger.
Li Du was boiling water when Ah Ao, who was brought by him, suddenly jumped into the stream.
The water in this stream was a bit turbulent, but the scale was not large. Li Du didn't think it would wash away Ah Ao, thinking he wanted to take a bath, so he ignored it.
As a result, Ah Ao quickly started tossing, the water splashed everywhere, it climbed up to the rocks on the shore, jumped down, and then climbed up again, shaking its head and pounced, not knowing what it was doing.
Ah Ao is very good at playing by himself, but Li Du didn't care, he just told him: "Don't get into trouble, Ao, be careful."
After a while, Lu Guan, who came back from picking up dry firewood, exclaimed, "Hey, boss, look, what did you drag?"
Li Du hurriedly turned his head, and then saw that Ah Ao was dragging a big tortoise on the nearby rocks. He couldn't afford the tortoise, so he could only lower his head and drag it by biting its deck.
This tortoise is the size of a rice cooker lid, with a short and thick neck, a pointed and long tail, muscular limbs, and a very rough carapace with bony scutes on it.
"Snapping turtle?" Li Du was surprised, "There are still snapping turtles in this river?"
Snapping turtles are one of the most dominant reptiles and are relatively common in North America. Generally speaking, they only have one natural enemy, alligators, and ordinary animals dare not mess with them.
But Ah Ao is obviously not an ordinary animal. It found the snapping turtle and dragged it up from the river.
The snapping turtle is full of aggressiveness. Li Du went to have a look. This thing is almost tormented to death. Unlike other turtles, it can shrink its head and limbs back into its carapace. Therefore, when encountering an opponent, it must either be killed or be killed by the opponent. dead.
If the snapping turtle was safe and sound, Li Du chose to respect nature and let it go away. Now he was almost killed by Ah Ao. He simply chopped off the turtle's head with a knife and ate it in stew!
Snapping turtles are the same as ordinary freshwater turtles, they can also be eaten, and their nutritional value is very good, but because of their strange appearance, they are often kept as pets.
It is easy to kill a snapping turtle, but it is difficult to eat it. The carapace of the snapping turtle is still difficult to clean up, although its carapace is actually thinner than that of sea turtles.
Godzilla and Brother Lang hammered and cut with knives, and finally cleaned up the snapping turtle's meat, the carapace remained intact, Brother Wolf cleaned it and gave it to Li Du, which can be used as an ornament.
The stewed crocodile and turtle meat was very good, but Li Du changed his mind when he saw that Ah Miao brought back several hares one after another.
Brother Lang peeled the hare and deboned it, minced the cut meat into minced meat, and Li Du made meatballs, then fried the snapping turtle meat in a pot, and added water to stew it.
When the water boiled, he put the meatballs in and made a dish similar to soft-shelled turtle stewed meatballs.
Hare meat has no fat, so dry stewing or dry roasting is not delicious, but snapping turtles are rich in fat, which can make up for the defects of hare meat. The combination of the two is very suitable.
This dish took Li Du half an hour, but now they have plenty of time to toss, the weather is hot at noon, they don't climb the mountain, but rest.
The crocodile turtle meat was stewed, and the aroma filled the air. The group of people climbed the mountain all morning and were already hungry. They ate the compressed biscuits soaked in hot water, and their mouths were full of oil.
This meal provided them with plenty of energy. After eating and drinking enough to pack up, the weather was past the hottest time, and everyone went on the road again, climbing up the mountain.
As soon as he was on the road, Ah Ao's ears trembled suddenly, and then he stared down.
Li Du knew that it had discovered something, so he said to Brother Wolf: "Stop first, and see what's going on, Ao seems to have heard a human voice."
Brother Wolf took out the binoculars and looked at it, frowned and said, "Yes, there are Indians behind us."
About ten minutes later, some Indians appeared in front of them. These people were dressed in semi-primitive clothes, wearing jeans and leather sandals, and their upper body was naked. There were colorful oil paints on their faces, and some of them had birds on their heads. feathers.
The two sides met face to face, and an Indian pointed at Li Du and the others and shouted, "That's right, they did it!"
Other Indians climbed up the rocks aggressively, shouting as they walked.
Li Du didn't know if there was some misunderstanding, so he said first: "Guys, may I ask where did we offend you? I think there is a misunderstanding between us!"
The Indian who took the lead said angrily: "There is no misunderstanding, you have invaded our territory! You are still hunting our prey! God will punish you, and we will punish you!"
The other Indians roared, and they all spoke good English:
"Punish them, that's not enough!" "It's too much son of a bitch, look at what they did!" "Hey, get off, are you sure you want us to go up and deal with you?"
Godzilla pulled out his shotgun and said, "Boss, let them calm down!"
Li Du said: "Yes, we have to calm down and talk..."
"Boom!" Godzilla immediately pulled the trigger upon hearing this.
