19. Tusheng Beiye VS White Rich Beauty
If curiosity really did kill the cat, then every feline within a hundred miles of Chicken Rock would be stone dead.
Seeing Bai Huan's disdain for food, Wang Xian was annoyed, but he also paid attention to the young man's actions.
Want to see if his outdoor survival skills are as strong as he boasts.
"Hey, big brother, can I borrow that knife of yours?" Bai Huan didn't take Wang Xian's water and bread, but instead fixed his gaze on the knife hanging from the latter's thigh.
What kind of knife is it? A golden wire ring knife...
Bai Guang didn't move, his face expressionless, he pinched himself, this was a bit too much. Men, their enthusiasm for weapons, is deeply hidden in their genes and bones! It's the accumulation of thousands of years of hunting since ancient times, an innate instinct! The difference lies only in that some people like hot weapons such as guns and cannons, while others prefer cold arms like knives and swords.
Men in the mountains are even more so, every young man will receive a hunting knife given by his elders when he comes of age. If it weren't for the current regulations on knives, Bai Hui would always carry one with him.
And the one in front of him, which made his eyes greedy, was a genuine high-end knife - Cold Steel 35ATCJ Kukri Machete!
Look at its fierce and violent shape, it's so thrilling! Look at its cool and sharp material, it's so enchanting.
Give a beautiful woman with a score of 85 or higher, and let Bai Huan choose whether to take off her clothes or not. He would consider for about ten seconds before taking off his clothes. But if you give him a cold steel Great White Dog again, Bai Huan will unhesitatingly kick the beauty aside.
"Huh? You also have times when you need to ask for help?" Wang Xian smiled in surprise, his face full of "come beg me, come beg me".
However, he clearly overestimated Bai Huan's bottom line. He thought this kid would still put on a strong front, but unexpectedly, Bai Huan didn't say another word and immediately transformed into a begging little dog, almost wagging his tail: "Brother Wang, you're my brother, lend me the knife to play with, I'll get you some food!"
Wang Xian felt like he had completely lost his temper and couldn't keep up with this kid's train of thought.
However, he is also a knife enthusiast. Seeing Bai Hua able to put aside his pride for the sake of getting his hands on Da Bai Dog, his resentment from earlier has dissipated by about 70-80%.
He hummed twice, took off the knife and scabbard, and handed it to Bai Huan. He also reminded him with some unease: "This is an original customized version, use it carefully!"
He flashed a bright smile, and he felt his adrenal glands secreting at least three times the normal amount. He couldn't care less about Wang Xian's advice now. All he could subconsciously say was: "A good sword is like a beautiful woman, always handled with gentle strokes and kept by one's side. Let me play around first!"
Before Wang Xian came back to his senses, Bai Huan had already slipped into the forest, startling a flock of mountain birds into flight.
Left someone stupid and tearless, stunned on the spot, like a weathered waiting-for-husband rock.
However, Wang Xian couldn't help but think to himself that when he and his friends were joking around, hadn't they also said something like "the best wife in the world, the most exceptional sword under heaven"?
Thinking of this, the pain and regret in his heart were slightly balanced out a little bit.
It's just a little bit! And it wasn't until after thinking of this that Wang Xian suddenly realized, isn't this his own "little wife" being taken away by someone?
Even lying down can wear a green hat!
……
The time one spends waiting is always so dull, and just as Wang Xiang was feeling extremely bored, having checked his watch for the third time, a rustling sound came from the thicket, and Bai Hua darted back out.
Still holding a big handful of tender leaves in his hands.
"I thought it was something good, but it's just wild vegetables. It took more than a moment to prepare? Your wilderness survival skills are just so-so...” Wang Xiang was about to mock him a few more times when he suddenly saw Bai Huan pull out two bamboo tubes and a handful of leaves as if by magic.
"It's too hot, eating some cool mixed wild vegetables is much better than dry bread!" Bai Huan smiled and piled the leaves into Wang Xian's arms, starting to build a fire.
The miner's man was still in a daze, the pile of wild vegetables in his arms not only sufficient in quantity but also diverse in variety, including red-backed greens, wild sesame, water celery, ginseng grass...
Wang Xian has been stagnant for so long, with so many types of wild vegetables, all tender and fresh. This kid didn't take a moment to dig up so many, is he a mountain spirit? However, he immediately started looking around: "Hey, didn't you just use up your matches? I didn't bring a lighter!"
When applying the sulfur ointment to the wound of the mountain dog, Bai Huan used up his last two matches, so Wang Xian was confused at this time and didn't know what this kid was paying attention to.
Then he was suddenly stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Just then, Bai Huan tore off the label of the mineral water and adjusted the angle under the sunlight. He shone it on the withered grass heap, creating a dazzling light spot that almost blinded Wang Xian's eyes.
Everyone in the mining team knew this method, but who doesn't bring a lighter when camping outdoors now?
After getting used to it, I completely forgot about this line of thinking.
In an instant, Wang Xian felt extremely stifled.
But then he raised another question that questioned Bai Huan: "I'm asking, are you planning to just boil the wild vegetables in plain water? Who's going to eat that...?"
"Oh, help me crush this up a bit, I was in a hurry when I scraped it and didn't have the patience to make it fine."
Wang Xian took over the bunch of leaves with a puzzled expression, opened them up and was left speechless. Inside the wild sesame leaves were blocks of rock salt that looked just like ice sugar.
"How did you find it? We've searched the entire forest and didn't discover any salt deposits!" He looked at Bai Huan in confusion, then at the object in his hand. If not for years of exploration experience, he would have thought that Bai Huan was playing a trick on him with a lump of ice sugar.
However, the young man who was concentrating on igniting the fire didn't even turn his head back, and his tone was full of certainty: "Who says our Xijiang has a layer of rock salt? This is just an accompanying halide mineral of gypsum deposits, a trivial matter."
"What a wonderful find!" Wang Xian was about to jump with joy: "You can even find scattered rock salt in the big forest, is this chicken nest rock your family's?"
Bai Huan inexplicably turned his head and stared at him: "Shan Jizi should know, right? That thing isn't always looking for rock salt to lick? Finding the activity route of this thing shouldn't be difficult, tracing back along the vine?"
Wang Xian has completely ORZed, no wonder the boss gave a death order over the phone to be extra careful with this young man!
He's indeed a man with two brushes, don't look at his young age, whether it's cooking or wilderness survival, he's got them all down pat, put him in an exploration team and he's a versatile guide!
After listening to the explanation, Wang Xianhu's body shook twice, and he suddenly thought of an important question. He looked at Bai Huan's eyes again, as if a shark had smelled blood, as if a fly had spotted feces, as if Emperor Han Ai had seen Dong Xian for the first time...
Filled with fiery enthusiasm.
But he changed his mind and thought that even if he wanted to bring up that matter with Bai Huan, he would have to wait until the end of this expedition.
At least everyone should be familiar with each other and have a relationship before it's convenient to explore this kid's thoughts.
Having stored up the intention to please Bai Huan, Wang Xian also completely stopped worrying and even took the initiative to help Bai Huan with his work. The two of them soon got to eat fresh and tender wild vegetables seasoned with rock salt, which were also full of wild flavor.
Even the cold steel big white dog, Wang Xianping usually loves it dearly, this time also endured the pain and did not mention it, allowing Bai Huan to tie the knife around his own waist.
That little guy was tying his shoes while patting him on the shoulder: "We're already so familiar, let's not be polite to each other."
……
It has to be said that on a scorching hot July afternoon, having a mouthful of wild vegetables from the mountains and dipping them in mineral-rich rock salt is much more enjoyable than eating bread. After finishing, one's spirit also becomes several times more lively.
After resting for another half an hour, they set off again after 2:30 and finally arrived at the prospecting team's camp before 6 pm.
The camp is situated on a clean and flat riverbank, shaded by several small-leaf willows and riverside alders. Not far away, there is a pile of Clematis that has been uprooted and withered.
The sound of movement, both near and far, was heard, and the mountain dogs left behind in the camp were the first to bark, their powerful barks shattering the serene stillness of the valley.
The mountain dog barked and soon someone came out to greet it, interspersed with a few soft scoldings: "Alright, alright, stop barking, you're not listening, are you?"
Before he arrived, the sound came first, and then a short-haired woman with a full outdoor outfit rushed in, looking spirited and capable, seemingly not much older than him.
The most important thing is that there are still some beautiful women with a British style.
But the woman's first sentence made Bai Huan furrow his brow: "Huh, what's going on? Wang Xian, didn't you go out to pick someone up? Why did you bring this thing back? Did you mistake someone?"
"What's this thing called", if he wasn't afraid of being cheated by a white person, he simply wanted to spit it out.
"No, how could I mistake someone! This person..."
Wang Xian also speechlessly smiled wryly, just thinking about how to explain clearly to this young lady, when people started coming out of the camp one after another: "Hey, Little Wang (Wang Ge) is back, and who's this new dog handler boss has hired?"
As the people around her grew in number, the short-haired beauty became even more imperious: "Alright, I don't know how my little uncle thought of this, nor do I care why he wanted to invite this person. Anyway, you'll send him away tomorrow! Look at his outfit - a short-sleeved T-shirt? Sports pants? Where are his personal belongings? Are you going to help him carry them? Is he here to take care of the dog or act like a big shot?"
Wang Xian was choked and quickly explained to Bai Huan in a low voice: "This is the boss's niece, a top student from the Geology University's geological exploration department. Our team is led by her and Teacher Zhou. Teacher Zhou is in charge of business, she's in charge of personnel."
Wow, this little girl is still a white and rich beauty, no wonder she's so arrogant.
It's all clear now.
Although Wang Xian was also suspicious of his extremely unprofessional attire when they first met, he still managed to make a good impression with a couple of sentences.
This is even better, not giving him a chance to speak, and not listening to Wang Xian's explanation at all, directly telling him to get out?
Pffft!
What kind of person is Bai Huan? A mountain bumpkin who emerged from the mountains, a slippery character who yields to softness but resists hardness.
Although he also often watches porn, occasionally rolling in the sheets with lonely female white-collar workers on forums, but deep down, he absolutely does not have the attribute of cherishing and appreciating women.
Many men when they see a beauty, two legs are weak and one leg is hard, but some people's three legs are all hard.
So he just chuckled and said: "What a fake!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for the short-haired beauty to hear. The woman's face instantly turned red: "What did you say? Dare to repeat that?"
Bai Hua was straightforward and didn't mince words: "I say you're pretending to be a poser, but not even doing it well! The act of pretending to be a poser involves psychology, performing arts, behavioral arts, and philosophy. In short, it's very complicated, and you just can't do it!"
The mining team's men beside him were all stunned, their mouths agape, like miniature black holes suddenly appearing.
Wang Xian, who had already understood Bai Huan, covered his face in pain - what a mistake, too much of a mistake!
