Chapter 43 Lao Tree Festival (I.)

The next day, they arrived in Laos, and then everyone decided to bypass Cambodia along the border and then enter Thailand.

They found Sufa, a Chinese translator in a travel agency. This person studied in China and readily promised to accompany them to the border of Cambodia. Of course, the fee is not low.

There is no way to get to Monsander by motorcycle. According to locals, they basically have to cut the way in the tropical jungle and cross it for about ten days to reach Nabe. Only there is a car to take.

It's very difficult to walk through the rainforest. From time to time, you can see the thick-armed python in the jungle, and the intertwined roots make it very difficult for them to walk. On the first day, in addition to Xiaopei and the cat, the others were already tired and grinning in pain. .

At night, they rented and lived in a stockade. Because this place is too remote, there is no place to buy outdoor equipment, and there are not enough sleeping bags and tents prepared. Zhou Xirui, Acuo and Zhong Yueming had to give the sleeping bags to the older Uncle Li, the weaker Liu Peng. Of course, Xiaopei is a girl, to give her a bed. John and Sufa brought their own tents and sleeping bags, but they don't need to take care of them.

Zhou Xirui took Su Fa to the village to borrow a few quilts. But they were all very dirty and smelly. None of the three of them dared to take off their clothes and lie down overnight. **There was no bedding. It was very cold in the mountains in the middle of the night. They were all woken up from the cold. None of the three slept well, but this was the beginning of their nightmare.

The next day, they encountered the most difficult thing. They could bear the continuous climbing mountain road and down the river valley. Anyway, they have gritted their teeth and carried it down. But when I entered the leeches, I was still scared by the locusts. There are two places where leeches gather in the ditch, one is a mud road more than one mile long, and the other is two rotten bamboo forests about one mile long. These three places are really horrible. Almost every step down, more than a dozen locusts come up.

The locust's vibration on the surface is particularly**. Looking up, more locusts are standing there on the road ahead, and they are always ready to suck them up as soon as they land! Their hiking shoes and socks are coated with safflower oil, which seems to have some effect, but it can't completely stop the locusts from climbing up.

Every time I stop to have a look, my God! Everyone is exclaiming that a pile of locusts have gathered on the shoes. They hold a branch as a walking stick, and the biggest function of this branch is to pick the locusts that have been attached to their shoes and trousers. The suction cup of the locust is very strong and difficult to pick. It can't stop for a long time. As soon as you stop, more locusts will come up! Su Fa kept urging them: Don't stay, stop picking, and run quickly through the locust ditch.

Liu Peng had been afraid of small animals and insects since he was a child. He was stunned by this locust array, but he still had to pretend to be very brave and did not want to disturb the team. He was also the worst. Several locusts climbed into his hand through crutches, which scared him so much that he almost threw his cane. The worst time was that Liu Peng felt on his stomach. At first glance, a tenacious locust climbed to the navel and sucked a mouthful of blood.

Everyone was sucked blood by the locust, and the cat was also sucked miserably. Fortunately, before going out to explore, Zhou Xirui was afraid of encountering a muddy place. Zhou Xirui tailored two sets of waterproof boots for it. Now it finally comes in handy, but its nose is indeed the most vulnerable place to attack. Not far, Zhou Xi Rui has to clean it up.

They didn't dare to sit down and rest during the seven-hour mountain road. They stood for a few minutes. Although he passed the locust ditch, large and small locusts can still be seen everywhere. John was bold. He was so tired that he didn't care to sit down and rest. As a result, four locusts got on his buttocks in less than two minutes! He quickly jumped up in confusion, and Zhong Yueming went to help him get rid of leeches with branches.

When crossing a single-plank bridge, everyone still sat on the trunk and rested for a while, because the single-plank was built on the branch. Su Fa said that this is not horrible. If it is the rainy season, there will be locusts on branches and leaves, and three-dimensional attacks will not be spared. As soon as everyone heard it, they felt very lucky. A Cuo roared, "Ho long live the dry season!"

Su Fa said that it is impossible to walk at night. There are pythons, bears, wild boars and leopards on this mountain. Most of them are active at night and can only live in cottages to rest.

They came to a cottage before dark. They lived in a branch of the Aini ethnic group, and the women in the village were ** upper body. Don't look at it if it's rude. At first, everyone was embarrassed, but later it doesn't matter if you see more.

Zhong Yueming and Su Fa heard that there is only one water point in the stockade. It is said that this water supply point was built with the assistance of the European Union Humanitarian Office. However, what everyone can't get used to is that the villagers, both men and women, are bathing, washing and washing cattle in the same pool, and the men and women are completely naked at the same time **, which is very embarrassing.

Maybe because it has been rare for such a large group of tourists in this stockade for several years, no matter where they go, people will stop their work to watch them. Even if they go to take a bath, they will follow a large group of children and villagers to watch, just like watching aliens.

Although Xiaopei's body was already smelly and itchy, she still didn't dare to take a shower and lost her temper in front of Zhou Xirui. Later, Zhou Xirui came up with a way for her, set up a bathing place with a tent, borrowed a bucket to bring her bucket of water, and stayed outside for her, so she went in and barely took a shower.

The sanitary conditions in the stockade also make everyone feel horrible. The stockade is full of the smell of livestock manure. These are hanging buildings. The first floor is on the ground, where pigs, dogs and chickens live, and people live on the second floor. When eating, they found that such a living environment is still very reasonable. There are gaps between wooden and bamboo floors. When eating, they throw bones into the cracks, and the pigs and dogs downstairs immediately come up to eat, so that they don't have to sweep the floor and waste any part of the food.

But the worst thing is that there is no toilet. Zhou Xirui found a place to prepare for stool in the corner of the village, but he didn't expect a dog and a pig to follow him. When he squatted down, they approached him step by step.

Because he was afraid that the dog would bite him, although he had not pooped for two days, he was already anxious and was scared by the dog and the pig. He couldn't pull it out. He stood up and tied his trousers. The dog and the pig came over. Seeing that he did not pull, he walked away disappointedly.

He roared at the cat, and the cat rushed over. With it guarding here, other animals did not dare to come, and finally relieved and boldly pooped. On the way back, the cat found a 25-centimeter-long super-large centipede, which scared Zhou Xirui to quickly order the cat to get out of the way. This guy really dared to smell everything.

After walking for several days, their luck was extremely weak and they got lost in the rainforest. This is a big problem. It is very dangerous to get lost in this primitive jungle. What's more strange is that the compass also has something wrong and failed!

They were at a loss how many ditches they had climbed, how many river valleys, and finally saw a village hidden in the deep mountains.
