Li Du and Sophie could only keep calling. They did not dare to raise their voices, for fear of provoking the hippopotamus.
However, Ali's actions attracted a lot of attention, and there were even a few soldiers with guns on their backs watching the fun.
In this way, people inevitably cheered and talked. Their voices interfered with Li Du and Sophie's shouts, and Ali did not hear them for a while.
Many people took out their cameras to take pictures, and some took out their mobile phones to record. The crowd watched happily.
"Haha, this little kangaroo is really bold. Is it provoking the hippopotamus?"
"I think it's practicing boxing. Look at its footsteps, look at its fists. Man, this is not a coincidence. It has been trained in boxing!"
"But it is certainly no match for the hippopotamus. Come on, let's bet. How long will it take before it is killed by the hippopotamus?"
Li Du could not help but shout, "Ali, come back, f * ck!"
Immediately, an Asian man looked at him and laughed. "Hey, man, compatriots?"
Li Du was not in the mood to chat. He stared at Ali and shouted, "Come back! Damn you, come back quickly! "
Finally, Ali heard his roar. It blinked its big eyes at Li Du, then retracted its fists and jumped back carefully.
Li Du reached out to catch it. Ali knew that it would not end well if he caught it. It jumped lightly on its feet, nimbly avoided his grasp, ran behind Sophie's legs, and peeped at Li Du with half its head peeking out.
The people around were amused by what it did and laughed. "Oh, this little kangaroo is so clever."
"It's so cute, dear, I want to raise a kangaroo too!"
"You can raise a turtle to death. Forget about a kangaroo."
Ali thought that Sophie would protect it, but it was obviously thinking too much.
It ran behind Sophie, who squatted down and grabbed it, put it on her knee, and waved her hand to slap its butt. "Pa, pa, pa!"
Li Du courteously handed her the shoe. Sophie took the shoe with a straight face and continued to slap it. "Pa, pa, pa!"
Ali's eyes were filled with tears. It squeaked and begged for mercy. Sophie ignored it and said angrily, "Cry, cry, cry. You still have the life to cry? When can you be more obedient? "
Fortunately, Ali had provoked a thick-skinned hippopotamus. If it had been a lion, Li Du and the others would have already organized a funeral for it.
Sophie had to change its arrogant personality. Ever since Ali came into contact with boxing, it had become a fearless troublemaker, provoking whoever it touched.
In the crowd, a few Chinese people walked towards Li Du. According to Chinese social customs, someone offered Li Du a cigarette the moment they met. "Bro, where are you from?"
Li Du waved his hand to reject the cigarette and gave a simple self-introduction.
There were a total of five people on the other side. They were all staff members of the infrastructure project in South Africa. This time, the local project leader had invited them to hunt.
Both of them had a simple chat and exchanged contact information. After all, the hunting area was vast, and there were wild beasts and foreigners everywhere. It was safer to have the contact information of their compatriots.
Lion Hunter quickly got the ticket, which was a hunting license. It came in a variety of sizes, ranging from $500 to $8,000.
Different specifications meant different kinds of animals could be hunted. Lion Hunter bought the highest-specification hunting license, which cost eight thousand dollars. After entering, he could hunt any animal he wanted, which was exclusive to the rich.
Li Du instinctively resisted this kind of thing. His pets were wild animals, and hunting wild animals was something he could not do.
However, Lion Hunter was very enthusiastic. He declined several times without success, so he could only follow.
In fact, he understood what Lion Hunter meant. Lion Hunter did not care whether he liked these activities or not. He just wanted Li Du to feel his enthusiasm, and it would be better to make Li Du feel indebted to him, which would help his business.
After the meeting, Lion Hunter asked as he wiped his shotgun, "Do you know those guys? They're in the gold business, aren't they? "
Li Du frowned. "Gold? You mean they're mining gold in South Africa? I don't know them, but we're compatriots, so we chatted for a while. "
Lion Hunter nodded and warned him, "I'm not mistaken. They are definitely gold miners. Since you don't know them, you'd better not get too close to them. There must be a lot of people watching them, just like there are a lot of people watching us. "
Sophie said helplessly, "Is South Africa that bad?"
Lion Hunter was even more helpless. "What can we do? Everyone wants to get something for nothing. "
They took tents, gasoline, water, and food, checked their weapons and ammunition, and drove into the hunting area.
At this time, Abdo did not sleep in his seat as he had done before. He stood on the pedals of the car, reached out to hold the door, and stood outside the car to look around.
After driving for more than ten minutes, Abdo reached out and tapped the window. The bodyguard who was driving the car stepped on the brakes, and then he jumped out of the car and lay on the ground to look.
Li Du also got out of the car to look. There was green withered grass on the ground, and there was a pile of dry stuff on it, like cow dung, but thinner. It was spread over a large area and had dried up.
After looking at it for a while, Abdo sniffed it, then got up and walked forward.
Li Du followed him all the way and asked curiously, "What animal did you find?"
Abdo did not speak, just turned his head left and right to explore the surrounding environment.
Li Du remembered that he did not understand English, so he shrugged and did not bother asking.
Hunting was a technical job, not a random drive to get lucky. Abdo had been searching below, and Li Du followed him to bask in the sun. It was close to noon, and the weather was very hot, and soon he could not stand it.
Unfortunately, Li Du did not understand how terrible the sun on the South African grasslands was. He did not return to the car until he felt the burning pain in his skin.
But it was too late, and when he returned to the car, his skin still felt uncomfortable. When it was time for lunch, he could not bear it anymore. He took off his coat and saw that the skin on the back of his neck, back, and waist had turned purple!
Sophie helped him check the condition of his skin. When she saw it, she gasped and said, "So serious of ultraviolet poisoning? God, this needs to be treated! "
Li Du reached out and touched it. It felt as if he was on fire. He grimaced and said, "Ultraviolet poisoning? Is it dangerous? "
Sophie said, "It's not a big deal, but it has to be treated quickly. I brought a medical kit. Let me disinfect it first …"
Lion Hunter and the others came over and saw the condition of Li Du's skin. Their expressions did not change. Obviously, it was a small matter for them.
Seeing Sophie take out the medical kit, Lilikas shook his head and waved his hand. "No, no, no, don't use this. Use women's gold, women's gold."
Sophie asked, "What do you mean? My fiancé's skin is sunburned, and I need to treat it. "
Lilikas continued to shake his head. "No treatment, I'll do it. Women's gold, the best."
