He did not expect to encounter trouble as soon as they entered the mountains, which made Li Du quite depressed.
Ah Bai's condition was not bad. The bullets did not hit him directly, but some of the pellets. Therefore, after the bleeding was stopped and bandaged, its life was basically not in danger. It was just that it had to be carried for a long time.
However, the pellets did a lot of damage to it. Ah Bai became listless and did not have its usual quirkiness. When they returned to the camp, it fell asleep.
Li Du patted Ah Meow's head, handed it a piece of fresh fish, and said, "Let's eat. After dinner, clean up and change camp."
The other party would not give up easily after suffering a loss. Judging from their previous communication, there were more than six of them.
Li Du's camp was too conspicuous by the lake. If the other party held a grudge and attacked them at night, whether they succeeded or not, it would be troublesome 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, which were not allowed to be used by civilians.
After listening to his analysis, Lu Guan said, "Would they dare call the police? These sons of b * tches are poachers. If they call the police, the police will catch them first. "
Brother Wolf said, "Actually, I don't know who they are. I said they were poachers to smear them and let us take the initiative."
Lu Guan said, "But they did not refute."
This did not prove anything. Ah Meow had very cunningly scratched their faces and mouths. They did not dare to show any expression on their faces, let alone open their mouths. Otherwise, it would be very painful to pull their facial muscles.
What could have been a very leisurely meal became a mess just like that.
While the sky was not completely dark, Li Du and the others ate hastily, packed up their tents, and continued to walk into the mountains.
There were many tree species growing in the Blue Ridge area, and the forest on the mountain was very lush. They gave up their bicycles and went up the mountain into the forest.
In this way, Li Du saw more trees, such as tangerine, Chinese redbud, hawthorn, tulip, dogwood, locust, sorrel, and so on.
These trees could all bloom, and the flowers were brilliant. In the afterglow of the setting sun, there was a kind of charm.
In addition, there were also wild flowers such as photinia, blueberries, holly, roses, and azaleas on the mountain. Perhaps because of the low altitude, these flowers bloomed all over the mountain in the summer and were extremely beautiful.
Brother Wolf found a relatively empty piece of flat land in the forest. By this time, the sky was already dark, so they could only set up camp there.
Lu Guan asked worriedly, "Are there any wild beasts here? Let's start a fire first. "
"What beast? Bison, wolf? These are the only large beasts in the entire Appalachian Mountains, but they've been gone for a long time. I'm guessing they're long extinct. "
Brother Wolf said, "There are still wolves in the northern mountains of Canada, but not here. Boss is right, it's not that dangerous here."
Not long after their conversation ended, the bushes not far away began to move, and a few large animals appeared.
Ah Meow and Ah Ow looked over. Li Du quickly turned on the flashlight, and a few white-tailed deer appeared in the light.
The white-tailed deer were startled by the sudden appearance of light in the darkness. They quickly disappeared without a trace, leaving only the swaying shrubs behind.
Large beasts such as wolves and cougars once lived in the Appalachian Mountains, but they had disappeared due to human hunting and disease epidemics.
This was not a good thing for nature. The food chain in the mountains had been destroyed. Without wild beasts to hunt, white-tailed deer, reindeer, moose, elk, and other animals had proliferated.
Fortunately, the Appalachian Mountains were lush with vegetation and could withstand the pressure of the sharp increase in herbivores.
In addition, there were North American hares and some rodents throughout the Appalachian Mountains.
After a good night's sleep, Li Du got out of the tent when the sun rose in the morning. He saw a few eastern gray squirrels, hares, and weasels on the ground.
Ah Meow and Ah Ow squatted proudly among the prey. Needless to say, this was their masterpiece.
Ah Bai also woke up, but his mental state was still not good, which was due to excessive blood loss.
Li Du first fed him some fruits and dried fruits, and then gave him some honey water. Ah Bai was not energetic, but he could still eat, and his belly soon bulged.
After tidying up the three little ones, he got up and stretched, and a brand new Appalachian Mountains appeared in front of him.
The early bird gets the worm, and the forest is filled with the chirping of birds. The wild turkeys, grouse, mourning doves, wood ducks, orioles, and other wild birds of all sizes that he saw yesterday were fluttering about in the forest.
Li Du looked east. The red sun rose slowly, and the light fell on the dew on the leaves and branches of the plants, emitting a jewel-like light, dazzling.
Many birds were flying east, and their figures passed in front of the sun, adding a lot of movement to the morning forest.
Brother Wolf made a fire to prepare breakfast. Last night's meat soup and fish soup were not finished, so he reheated them.
Meat soup, dry bread, and pure wild fruit picked from the jungle. Firecracker climbed the tree to find some bird nests, which Li Du used to make fried eggs. This breakfast was quite sumptuous.
Climbing the mountain was very tiring, and everyone's stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. During breakfast, they wolfed down the food, feeling that this meal was very delicious.
While packing up, Brother Wolf said, "There are some mushrooms in the woods that we can eat. Let's go and pick some later."
Life in the woods was completely self-sufficient. There were deer and hares for meat, wild vegetables and mushrooms for vegetables. There was fat in venison, which could be used for cooking. There was also a lot of fruit in this season. No matter what kind of food they wanted to eat, they could always find it in the mountains.
They left the mountain road and began to climb deep into the mountains, which made it difficult to move forward.
Ah Bai was lying in Li Du's backpack, looking at the trees around him and sighing.
This was his home ground. If he had not been injured, he would have climbed the trees and gone crazy.
After climbing for half an hour, Brother Wolf, who was leading the way, suddenly raised his arm and clenched his fist.
Li Du thought they were in trouble, but Brother Wolf turned around and said, "Let's go around. There's a big beehive ahead."
Lu Guan was not convinced and said, "Beehive, right? We have honey to eat. I'll go see how big this beehive is and if it's big enough for us. Sh * t, let's go around! "
In front of them was a short beech tree. The tree was lush, like a boxer. It was not tall, but it was very strong.
From the middle of the trunk to the crown, a beehive hung in it. At a glance, the tree and the beehive together looked like a bunker.
Countless bees were flying outside the beehive. When they flew over the forest, it was like a dark cloud had appeared!
