Chapter 267 [Progress Is Smooth]
At that time, the old housekeeper was still a young man in his 20s and followed the adults in the family up the mountain to drive away the herds of Asian elephants to prevent them from coming down the mountain from the lakeside channel to harm the crops. These behemoths have huge appetites. Once they appear, a herd of more than a dozen small elephants can destroy several acres of farmland overnight.
The crops in the farmland are eaten by these elephants, and the farmers who farm the fields have to starve for several months. Therefore, the scale of destruction by the Asian elephant herd is quite terrifying. They not only eat but also trample crops, especially rice and corn.
There were dozens of people who went up the mountain, holding guns, bows and arrows, and even straddling machetes. After searching for dozens of minutes, they went up the mountain. Behind a small hillside, I saw a herd of Asian elephants that were causing harm to the dealer. The behavior of Asian elephants is actually similar to that of African elephants. The elephant herd is composed of a mother elephant and a baby elephant.
When male Asian elephants reach adulthood, they will be kicked out of the family to make a living on their own. Only when they need to mate will Asian elephants leave their mark. Lure an adult bull elephant to mate! Therefore, this small group of more than a dozen elephants are all female Asian elephants. Although they do not have tusks, the attack power of this group of elephants is really terrifying.
Their huge bodies can move freely through the jungle, and their thick pads allow these Asian elephants to walk silently. The body that was more than three meters high was like a small tank when it ran, crushing all the trees and rocks wherever it went. When the female Asian elephant's desire to protect her cubs is aroused, she becomes very aggressive.
Even though he was besieged by dozens of people and killed three elephants with guns, the remaining female elephants took the calves and chased away all the people. The conditions of those who died tragically at the feet of Asian elephants were extremely horrific, and they were trampled into pieces as soon as they stepped down.
A human brain is like a watermelon. It breaks into pieces with a snap and is trampled into meat patties. The brains are sprayed everywhere and blood is everywhere. It is a hundred times more terrifying than the way of death on the battlefield. If you encounter an Asian elephant group, an inexperienced person will definitely not be able to escape. Although Asian elephants are clumsy and huge, they run no slower than a horse and faster than a human. Run much faster.
There is no way a human can outrun an elephant. My husband is too young to know the terror of Asian elephants. I thought that bringing hundreds of people to the mountains and beating gongs and drums would scare away the elephants. In that case, it would be impossible for Asian elephants to live there since ancient times.
So no matter how Bell's character explained it, the old housekeeper just didn't agree and let Bell's character lead the team up the mountain alone. He had to be with him, and he was followed by four bodyguards armed with AK47 submachine guns. The old butler didn't introduce the horror of Asian elephants like his master. I don't know whether he was afraid of scaring the terrifying scene like Bel Singer. That's great.
Since no matter what the old housekeeper said, it didn't make sense. As long as he went up the mountain with him, he should go up the mountain. He couldn't drive the old housekeeper out. So in desperation, after breakfast, Belsinger wandered to the industrial park with a large number of bodyguards with guns driving trucks to transport logging tools and axes.
At this time, hundreds of people were already waiting in the newly built square of the industrial park. Everyone was dressed in rags and everyone was carrying a satchel. There is a water bottle and lunch in the satchel, why are you wearing tattered clothes? Because scratches from trees on the mountain are a nightmare for any new clothes.
Your beautiful new clothes will be hung with strips of cloth, and you might as well wear tattered clothes that are also scratched and not feel bad. Even though these people have just finished the night shift, their morale is high. Small groups of people squatted on the ground, smoking and chatting, discussing how to spend the overtime compensation paid by the boss on what kind of things.
After hearing the sound of the car, everyone stood up. When the car stopped, a few agile workers climbed onto the car. The tools were handed down and distributed to each worker. At this time, Ivan, the general person in charge of staying behind, had prepared two large boxes filled with food and drink.
This was prepared for the boss Singer, and he asked the strong bodyguard to carry it in his hands. Then he walked to Singer and asked in confusion. "Master, you informed the old butler, why did you bring so many people up the mountain? But when you see the old butler, he seems unhappy and won't get angry like us wage earners."
It would be quite terrifying if the old housekeeper got angry. Who among them officials had never experienced the power of the old housekeeper? Seeing the old housekeeper is like a mouse seeing a cat, there is a proverb in the Singer family.
That's how kind-hearted Mr. Singh was, and how big a mistake he made in front of Mr. Singh. As long as you take the initiative to admit your mistakes, you will be forgiven, but it is not easy in front of the old housekeeper. Any mistakes you make need to be punished accordingly.
The old butler is a member of the Singer family who specializes in doing evil things, so everyone is afraid of him. This time the old butler will take people up the mountain no matter how he dissuades Singer. This made the old housekeeper feel very angry. He didn't dare to get angry with Mr. Singh. Why didn't he dare to get angry with them, the wage earners? So when he puts on a bad face, whoever sees him will be afraid.
Seeing Ivan, the cautious vice president of the group, scared to be like this, I felt dumbfounded. There was no time to talk nonsense to him, so he quickly called for people to distribute tools, then chose a narrow path in the cement mine, and then lined up in a long snake formation. An experienced middle-aged man took the lead in the front, protecting Belsinger in the center of the team and then climbed up the mountain little by little.
The wood within a few hundred meters around the mine had long been cut down and sent to the kitchen as fuel for cooking. So a clearing was formed within a few hundred meters around, and not far away was the lush subtropical primitive jungle. From afar, faint aftersales and various bird calls could be heard.
The air was fresh, the birds were singing, and the flowers were fragrant. Because the number of birds was so high that it blocked out the sun, the light in the jungle was very dark and the grass was lush. In addition, there was plenty of rain, the temperature and things were very rich, especially the many snakes, so everyone had a two-meter-long bamboo pole in their hands, and they beat the grass while walking.
Especially the person leading the way in front was the most dangerous, with both legs inherited, and the elephant leg-like protective gear was to prevent the sudden attack of venomous snakes. Of course, everyone who entered the mountain would shout from time to time. Experienced people knew that you had to make a lot of noise when entering the mountain.
To prevent you from disturbing the wild animals, because the frightened wild animals are the most terrible, and they will attack without hesitation. If you make a noise and let the wild animals in the distance know that humans have entered the mountain, these wild animals will choose their own route to retreat and try not to conflict with humans.

In fact, wild animals also know how powerful humans are, so when they hear the noise of humans, they will choose to retreat first. After walking a few dozen meters up the mountain, they came to a small hillside. The hillside faces the sun, so the trees grow very dense and thick. These trees are everyone's goal. Cutting wood does not necessarily mean going to the depths of the jungle, right? As long as the wood is suitable, just cut it. There is no need to say so much.
