Chapter 272 [Jungle Camping]
But the vegetation on the mountain is too dense, and the light is not so good. Although the two bodyguards who opened the way are experienced. But after changing many positions and using a lot of natural light, it took more than 20 minutes to find the passage where the sloth bear came to the stream to drink water.
Finding the passage means finding clues to track the sloth bear. In order to confirm again and again whether this animal path is a sloth bear, it has been walking all year round. Further testing is needed to find a small branch, measure the width and height of the passage, and then recall the size of the female blue bear that attacked the two workers. Only then did we confirm that this was the passage formed by the female sloth bear coming to the stream to drink water for a long time, and we found the right place.
This made Belsinger very happy. He waved his hand to let the two bodyguards who opened the way in front continue to move forward, and then he easily moved forward with the help of the three bodyguards. Running around on the mountain, as time went by, the distance into this primitive jungle became farther and farther, and the trees were also very tall. It can be said that it covers the sky and the sun, so people walking under the tree feel that the light is very dim.
As they walked further and further, it was already dusk, and the light in the jungle began to become increasingly dim. Only then did the old steward stop the team, panting and putting his hands on his waist, and then he persuaded Belsinger.
"Master, it's already past six in the afternoon, and it will be completely dark in two hours. It's too dangerous in the jungle, should we go back now and come back tomorrow?"
Belsinger also looked up at the sky above the jungle and saw that the sun had begun to set, and carefully observed the surrounding environment. He was halfway up a mountain, with dense vegetation around him, and the air was particularly humid and hot, with some dew on the leaves and grass.
Now the arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired. If we go back, it will definitely be too late. But he didn't bring any equipment to camp in the mountains. You know, camping in such a deep mountain forest without equipment and protective measures is equivalent to suicide.
The danger is too great, but Belsinger is unwilling to give up like this. You are about to be caught, and you are thin. If you go back now, how can you explain to the workers? He could only bite the bullet and shake his head.
"It seems that it is too late for the old housekeeper to go back now. There is no choice but to spend the night in the jungle. Let's find a clearing. Light a bonfire, clean up the surrounding grass and trees, don't let those poisonous insects and ants bite, and let two experienced bodyguards go to see if there are any prey around."
The old housekeeper couldn't help but sigh. He knew that it was useless to ask, but he couldn't help asking. The answer he got was the same as what he thought. Although Master Belsinger's body was scraped into strips, his face was covered with blood marks, and he was exhausted and panting, the master's character was too tough.
Once you make up your mind, eight cows can't pull you back. You know that it is very dangerous to spend the night in the jungle, but you still have to spend the night in the jungle. Until you find the female sloth bear that attacked the workers, otherwise you will never withdraw your troops. The master is fighting with the female sloth bear, and the two sides will not stop until they die.
The master has ordered this, what else can I do? It has come to this point, so I will do it according to my master's wishes. When I go home, I must complain to Mrs. Lina and ask Mrs. Lina to take good care of my master's hot temper.
Whether it is a person or a beast, anyone who angers the master will not get a good reward, and will fight to the end with the other party. This kind of strong character will definitely suffer in the future. Of course, this is a matter for the future. Now let's ensure the safety of my master first.
So the old butler showed his management ability, shouted loudly, commanded all the bodyguards around, and started to act. Everyone scattered to find a flat place to prepare to camp. The old butler took Beibei Singh and did some work within his ability, that is, picking up firewood.
Now everyone has no survival equipment except weapons. If there is no firewood and no bonfire, they will be attacked by wild beasts at night. It will be dangerous at that time. It is not a problem of more than a dozen people. It is a problem whether the human body can be found. It has been eaten long ago, so the bonfire is very important.
All wild animals are afraid of fire, smoke, and the sound of iron tools. This is the experience of wild animals and humans fighting for tens of thousands of years from ancient times to the present. Because these things are not weapons that their claws, teeth, and fur can compete with. Lighting a bonfire can help you spend a night in the Amazon rainforest safely.
If you don't have a bonfire, then congratulations, not to mention those man-eating beasts, even poisonous insects and ants will eat you up without leaving any bones. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and the Singer family's bodyguards are experienced. Not long after, two bodyguards ran over from a distance and said happily to the old housekeeper and Bel Singer who were picking up firewood.
"Found it, found it, found a flat piece of land, which is enough for more than a dozen people to camp, and the surrounding area is very clean."
Now that we have found the camping site, it will be easy. He handed the firewood in his arms to the two bodyguards and followed them up the hillside. We reached the top of the mountain and saw a flat open space of more than ten square meters. How could there be such an open space of more than ten square meters in the jungle in southwest India?
Because the open space is full of rocks, although there are cracks in the rocks, it is still rocks. Trees and plants cannot grow on rocks, so such a flat piece of land is controlled. There is no grass around, it is very clean, and you can camp without cleaning, which is perfect.
The straight-line distance from the stream on the mountain is no more than 300 meters, but you have to cross a ridge, so the actual distance will definitely exceed two kilometers. It is very troublesome to get water once. At this time, the sky is getting darker and the light is getting weaker, and the roars of various beasts are getting more and more frequent.
If you don't hurry up, it will be dark, and it will be too dangerous to run around in the jungle. So quickly organize people to fetch water, clean the camp, heat the camp, and hunt.
Of course, these tasks are completed by hands. Belsinger and the old housekeeper are only responsible for making fire. After the flame, although the temperature is very high, it is a bit uncomfortable to roast. But it can guarantee your safety at night. When the bonfire burns to the most, fierce gunshots are heard from the left mountain.
No mistakes, no mistakes, no mistakes, no mistakes!
Half an hour later, the hunter came back with the prey. Unexpectedly, he had shot a medium-sized male sika deer. The antlers had only grown to the age of two years old, and it seemed that he had just left the group not long ago. The body of a sika deer was more than 100 kilograms. Excluding the internal organs and skin, it was enough for the dozen people to eat.
