Chapter 968 967. Picking Honey (110)

After weaving the rope ladder, a black man bit the stick with his teeth and nimbly climbed up the tree.

This kind of big-leaved tree grows thick and tall, and wild bees tend to choose the tallest, tallest and strongest tree when they build their nests, so tools are needed to collect honey.

The rope ladder is the way to escape. Once you provoke a bee swarm, you must quickly climb down the rope ladder to escape, otherwise the tree will be more than ten meters high. If you don’t jump, you will be blocked by the bee swarm, or you will fall to your death.

The first person went up the tree to hang the rope ladder, and the others prepared honey-harvesting tools, held torches, and climbed up the rope ladder.

Li Du asked: "What is the purpose of this torch? Is it used to make smoke to kill bees?"

Cheeks shook his head and said, "It's already immoral for us to steal the fruits of bees' labor. How can we suffocate them to death? The torch is to create sparks and attract the bees to leave temporarily."

When several blacks climbed up the tree, Cheeks waved, and the others hurried away and hid far away.

Just when they were lurking, a magnificent scene appeared in front of Li Du:

The sun was setting, and the light in the woods was dim. Suddenly, a bright light appeared under the beehive, and the bright light bloomed, and then fell with a series of sparks.

The sparks are very dense, falling from the ten-meter-high tree like this, it seems that a fire waterfall appears. Looking at this scene, Li Du saw the real fiery trees and silver flowers!

Just as the Huoguang Waterfall fell, countless bees flew out of the huge beehive, and they gathered together to form a bee colony, chasing the Huoguang Waterfall and flying down.

At this time, the honey hunters on the tree began to work quickly.

Using a knife made from animal bones, they cut open the lower part of the hive, opened a bag, and suddenly orange-yellow sticky honey dripped into it.

The honey flows slowly, and the honey pickers keep stirring the opening of the hive with a knife, otherwise the sticky honey may block the opening.

Soon, a bag of honey was collected. At this time, several people went in and cut some propolis with knives. The bees swarmed around the ground chasing the fire, and then began to return to the nest.

At this time, the honey hunters quickly packed up their things and climbed down to avoid being blocked by the bee colony.

After all, a few bees found them, but this did not affect the overall situation. They slapped the biting bees to death, otherwise they would endure the pain of being bitten, and they had to climb down quickly.

In this way, they went to another hive and collected some honey and propolis, and when the daylight was about to disappear over the horizon, they packed up and left.

Li Du and his party were allocated a water bag of honey, enough for them to roast crocodile meat.

After getting the honey, the two parties parted ways, and hurried back while the sky was still a little bright.

After they got on the road, the two sides found that they were on the same road. Cheeks chatted with Apodu and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence that our camps are not far apart."

The lion hunter shrugged and said, "It's not surprising. There is water, dryness, and mounds to block the wind. It's the most suitable place to set up camp, isn't it?"

Sophie was waiting at the camp, looking at something with an electronic paper book.

After the group of them came back, Sophie waved happily and asked, "How is everything going well today?"

Abode and the bodyguards went to deal with the food, while Li Du and the others rested.

He said: "Everything is going well, and there are other gains. Do you know the Hazai people? Let me introduce you."

Sophie smiled and said, "The Hazai people, Tanzania's safari people, how could I not know about it? I also saw two Hadzai girls who came to visit us at the camp at noon."

These two Hadzai girls were also members of the Cheeks tribe, and the camps of the two sides were obviously very close.

Abedu cleaned up the giant frog and crocodile first, and put the frog meat and crocodile meat on the fire to roast.

The Zulu people's technique of grilling giant frogs is very primitive. The frog's skin is not peeled off, but the internal organs are removed, and then the frog is fixed with a wooden stick with branches, and then put on the fire and turned over for barbecue.

When grilling, Abodu spread salt on it, and soon, in the raging flames, the skin of the giant frog began to burst, revealing the pink and white tender meat inside.

As the roasting continued, the fat in the giant frog's meat leaked out. Every time the fat dripped into the campfire, it would cause the flames to jump and make a sound of "stinging, stinging, stinging".

When a giant frog was roasted, Abedu stuck a knife in it, and then held the giant frog in both hands and respectfully walked over to offer it to Li Du.

Naturally, he did this to thank Li Du for saving his life earlier. If Li Du hadn't acted in time, he would definitely be bitten by the crocodile.

That way, even if he won't be dragged into the water and eaten, Abedu will have to pay the price with a leg. For a hunter like him, not having a leg is no different from losing his life.

Li and Du couldn't eat a giant frog, so he cut off two frog legs, and wanted to feed the rest to the lion hunter and others, but Ah Miao slapped it, and Ah Ao cooperated to pick it up, and the two little guys Cooperated and took away the remaining giant frogs.

No wonder they were so impatient, the giant frog tasted very good, Li Du cut a piece of frog meat in his mouth, it was very tender like tuna meat.

The rare thing is that the frog meat itself is more chewy and rich in fat, so the more you chew, the more delicious it is.

Sophie cared about frogs, she refused to eat giant frog meat, so Mr. Li, who thought he was not interested in giant frogs before, ate two big frog legs with gusto.

There is also grilled crocodile meat at the back. The crocodile meat is cut into pieces and skewered, and grilled with butter and honey.

Li Du tasted a piece, the meat tasted good, and the strength was stronger. Because of the use of wild honey, it tasted sweet.

He was almost full after eating two frog legs, and he didn't have a cold for crocodile meat, so he didn't eat much more.

After eating and drinking enough, Li Du was ready to rest.

But the lion hunter got excited and asked: "Li, don't rush to the tent, remember the little buffalo I hunted? I dare say, if we go back now, we will be lucky to get a lion." !"

Li Du came to Africa to look for diamonds, not to hunt or risk his life. Besides, the lion didn't provoke him, so he didn't want to join in the fun.

Seeing that he was not interested, the lion hunter was also a little interested, and said helplessly: "Damn it, I wouldn't have wasted that bullet if I had known."

The night sky in the South African prairie is exceptionally clear, the moon does not appear, and there are countless stars scattered in the sky.

Li Du sat in front of the tent and looked up at the night sky, looking at the colorful stars.

The starlight is brilliant, rendering the starry sky into colorful colors. The starry sky here is different from other places. The night sky is like a black canvas with galloping yellow and green spots on it.

These spots radiate light and are as bright as lamps, so even if the night sky is black, it still cannot hide the brilliance of the stars.

The grassland is flat, and when you look out during the day, it seems that you can see the end of the world.

At night, the light is not good enough to see far away, but there are bonfires in some places, so that there is no place on the ground that obstructs the line of sight, and everyone turns around to know how many camps are around.
