"Huff, huff, huff!"
The temperature in Caiyun Province in April is very comfortable, so it is suitable to wear long sleeves.
I thought it would be difficult to get into the mountains, but I never expected it to be so difficult. The air was damp, and the plants were slippery underfoot.
There are all kinds of bugs everywhere, and snakes lurking everywhere.
They were a group of eight people, carrying equipment on their backs, wearing long trousers and long sleeves with their cuffs and collars tied tightly, and wearing yellow rubber shoes.
Ginger Tea has equipment from the beautiful country, but there is no way to take it out now.
She thought she'd hold on a little longer and wait until she got there. Even if she took it out, it wouldn't be very effective. The battle was tense and wearing it would easily cause accidental injury.
The others arrived two days ago, along with their equipment. They were also accompanied by two field staff members who were responsible for monitoring food processing and receiving intelligence.
Since the old village chief hired people from their village in his workshop, he always responded to their requests.
I knew they were planning to go somewhere else to see what other fruits and crops were there.
I took them to find a local herbalist and bought a lot of snake medicine and anti-worm and anti-snake medicine from him.
There are also emergency hemostatic powders, medicines for insect and ant bites, etc.
When a large number of people buy large quantities, you have to explain to them that they will use more of them. I have never seen so many insects in the north, so it is better to have more at home.
After the house was built, a few hard-working people were selected to stay in the workshop.
Before the two field workers arrived, they had been trained on how to do the job. With them watching over them, the few of them packed their things and set off.
We chose this place because it was very close to that place, separated only by a large forest.
I was mentally prepared for the journey, but I felt a bit nervous the moment I stepped into the forest.
The plants that blocked out the sun made every step difficult for them.
"According to the map, if we keep going in this direction, we'll reach their territory in about twenty kilometers. Be careful on the road, especially along the border. Our people are all over there."
They were operating undercover, without any markings on their bodies, and even their clothes were common street clothes.
Of course, we can’t go through formal channels. If they recognize it, it will be detrimental to their actions.
"Guangjin, why don't the leaders let us enter from Guangxi Province? The roads here are too difficult to travel. No wonder those devils filled up all the people here."
As he spoke, he used the stick in his hand to pick up a snake. He couldn't tell whether it was poisonous or not. Someone behind him quickly killed it.
I did this all the way, from being so scared that I wanted to scream at the beginning to being able to pick it open or use a knife calmly now.
After only two days, I had already adapted to the environment here. There were cockroaches the size of a palm, centipedes as long as an arm, and spiders bigger than bowls.
The mosquitoes flying all over the sky are said to be three mosquitoes to a dish of food here, and she thinks they are the mosquitoes' food.
Fortunately, the herbalist's powder was effective, and they have not been bitten by any insects so far. Even snakes are avoiding them.
They were able to deal with the snakes so efficiently thanks to the powder.
Maybe it was the smell of the medicine or some other reason, but the snakes that approached them moved very slowly and were easily caught.
"Let's stay here for one night. I'll take a look around. If everything is ok, we'll clean up."
We didn't dare light a fire in the woods at night, not because we were afraid of starting a fire, but because we were afraid of being discovered while on duty. Fortunately, the weather here is not too cold.
At night, everyone took turns taking a nap wrapped in blankets and sprinkled a circle of powder on the camping ground.
I cut some branches from the tree to make a thicker pad, which could barely be considered a thick mattress.
We grabbed some time to eat and discussed the order of the night watch. Ginger tea was from 1am to 3am, so we could take a nap after returning.
The person who took her to keep watch was an experienced senior. How could he be confident in letting her and Guangjin keep watch alone?
“Gu, gu!”
The woods at night are pitch black. During the day, there were only trees everywhere, but now they have turned into monsters with bared fangs and claws.
There were wolves howling in the distance, but it seemed to be quite far away. There were many wild beasts in the forest. The locals had talked about packs of wolves, herds of elephants, mountain cats, wild boars, and many other beasts.
Generally, they go into the mountains in groups of many people, bringing their equipment to hunt.
He also told them that if they saw wolves, wild boars or something like that here, they could try it, but if they saw a group of elephants, they should run away quickly.
Walk as far as you can, and do it quietly so as not to startle them. Otherwise, at best you'll suffer shattered bones, and at worst you'll just turn into fertilizer in the forest.
The risk of lighting a fire at night is extremely high, and I dare not sleep in a tree for fear that the pythons here will roll up and eat me.
Everyone had to take the risk of huddling together, and the people on night watch would at most keep their eyes open and check their surroundings frequently.
"Okay, you guys go get some rest! It's our turn now. Are you okay tonight?"
The colleague who was handing over the work said a few words and then sent them back to sleep. It was really comfortable to take a nap, and it was already dawn when they opened their eyes.
Simply scatter the branches you sat on last night and throw them around randomly.
Then he used a branch with leaves on it to scratch back and forth behind him to remove any traces of them.
"After crossing the border tonight, we have to be careful over there. We don't know if there are any lurking over there.
In short, be careful. If you get separated, move freely while ensuring your own safety.
But the most important thing is not to reveal your identity, and stay safe!"
The senior team leader gave them many warnings, but the other two were still new and lacked experience.
When he was informed of the team selection, he got really angry. This wasn't a mission, it wasn't about taking care of children. I wondered what the leader was thinking.
I consciously thought about who he was talking about, and didn't dare to say anything, listening carefully to the leader's instructions.
Walking forward step by step with her bag on her back, Jiang Cha felt that her underwear was soaked. Without advanced quick-drying clothes, the wet underwear stuck to her body.
The shoes on my feet were also wet, and I could even feel my toes getting slippery with every step.
Not to mention her hair. Men are fine, but her hair is sticky and sticks to her face, which is very uncomfortable.
He handed the snake-scare stick to Guangjin to help hold it, and tied his hair tightly with a rubber band at the back, preventing it from getting on his face and blocking his eyes.
There was not much water left in the kettle, so I filled it up when I left home. I came across a river on the road yesterday afternoon.
During the day, everyone boiled water by the river and filled a pot.
In a hot and humid environment, you sweat a lot and you can only drink more water to replenish your water.
However, you cannot drink water directly. Drinking raw water directly in the wild is quite risky.
The team was moving very fast and there was no way they could stop to boil water for her.
He walked forward with his head down, taking mechanical steps, sweat streaming into his eyes from time to time.
My eyes hurt so much that I had to blink while walking and shake off the bugs on my body.
There are so many insects that don't want people but are annoying. They often bump into people all over my body. I don't dare to kill them, so I can only shake them off.
The hat on his head was already wet with sweat, and he kept it on to prevent any insects from landing on it.
