"Hongshi, does it hurt that much?" Wu Yun asked with some confusion: "You didn't scream like that even if you were hurt by a wild dog just now."
"What do you know?" Hongshi touched his butt: "You know those giant mosquitoes, right? The thing he just used has the same mouth as a giant mosquito, but it is at least as long as ten giant mosquito mouths, and then Just stick it in my ass.”
"Pricked twice!"
After speaking, he added with lingering fear: "I swear, I will never be bitten by a wild dog again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ping said with a smile: "It's okay. You won't just get the injection once. You will have to get it seven days later, and then you will have to get it twenty-one days later."
This rabies vaccine requires four injections, two on the first day, one on the next seven days, and one on the 21st.
HearingSeeing that there were two more injections behind him, Hongshi subconsciously blocked the place where he had just been injected with his hand. He would rather fight a wild dog again than Put in two more needles.
"Okay, now tell us where your tribe is?" Tang Ping asked.
Hongshi looked at the sun in the sky, then pointed to the south and said, "That direction! But it took us more than three days to get here. Now if we walk faster, we can still rest in a cave we found."
"No need." Tang Ping pointed to the steam car: "Get in the car. Let's set off now. We should be able to reach your tribe tonight."
"What... is this?" Hongshi and Wuyun first saw this car and thought it was like a house they brought with them. But now they heard that this thing can actually move?
"It's a tool that allows people to get to other places faster." Tang Ping saw that they were very afraid of the inside of the carriage, so he simply asked Lao Cui to throw the bodies of the few wild dogs in the back of the carriage, and he also climbed into the carriage. Go up.
"Come on, the three of us sit here, and you can eat as much of the food as you like!" Tang Ping patted the pantry where he had just taken the food.
The two teenagers who had just finished eating suddenly felt that their stomachs could hold a little more.
Carefully climbed onto the bed of the car, and then followed Tang Ping's example and sat down against a cabinet.
Tang Ping patted the back of the carriage: "Let's drive."
The steam car puffed out black smoke and started to move.
The two teenagers looked at Tang Ping in horror: "Is this...is this a monster?"
"No, I said it's a tool...well..." Tang Ping thought for a moment and explained: "It's just like a horse. Have you ever ridden a horse?"
"Horse?" The two nodded and shook their heads: "Our tribe only has more than ten horses, and only the strongest warriors can ride them. We are not good enough!"
"As long as you know, just think of this thing as something bigger than a horse that can run faster without getting tired."
"Then what does it eat?" Wu Yun asked curiously.
"That black stone behind you." Tang Ping pointed to the cabinet the two of them were leaning against. It was a cabinet used to store coal. A steam car would need to add water and coal after driving for a while.
Tang Ping asked Wu Yun to open the cabinet and said: "If the people of your tribe can help us dig out this black stone, we are willing to exchange food and other materials for it. ."
"Tang, you are such a good man, you are actually willing to exchange precious food for these stones." Wu Yun glanced at the coal inside and said, "There are many black stones like this not far from our tribe."
I have to say that Australia’s minerals are really a gift from God to mankind. They are all very easy to mine and of high quality.
"But you...why isn't the car still moving? Didn't you say that we can reach our tribe before night?" Wu Yun felt that Tang Ping must be joking when he said that he could reach our tribe by night.
"Well... it's not full yet..." Tang Ping could only explain that the steam car took too long to start before driving.
After starting for nearly 20 minutes, the steam car finally started to move.
"It's moving, it's really moving!"
"So fast, so fast, as fast as we run at full speed!"
Both Hong Shi and Wu Yun exclaimed.
This is already the fourth generation steam vehicle improved and produced by Datang.
Steam engines are more efficient and smaller, and cars are faster. The speed of driving on this flat grassland can reach almost 30 kilometers per hour.
The two teenagers stopped and walked, and it would be good if they could walk 3-40 kilometers a day, so Tang Ping felt that they could return to their tribe before dark in three or four hours at most.
"Don't just yell. You two should also look at the road. If you go astray, tell me in time. Otherwise, we won't be able to reach your tribe at night and we will have to stay.
Out in the wild. "
"That's right, it's in this direction. Do you see the tree in front of you? That's where we came from."
You can see a towering tree in the direction they pointed from a long distance away. You must know that the Australian Almond Eucalyptus tree can grow up to 150 meters, which is the height of a 50-storey building.
So this kind of big tree can often be seen on the Australian grasslands, but the tallest one here is the one they are pointing to.
"Okay, as long as you can find the direction." Tang Ping opened the food cabinet next to him, which mainly contained cans and other convenience foods, as well as some snacks.
While eating just now, he discovered that the two teenagers were fond of meat, so he opened two cans of luncheon meat and handed them to them.
"Tell me about your tribe? What's its name and how many people are there?"
The two of them scooped up a piece of meat with the short knife given by Tang Ping and put it into their mouths. They ate it happily and said, "Our tribe is called the Eucalyptus Tribe. How many people are there..."
The two looked at each other, put the cans and dagger aside, stretched out their fingers and said, "It's much more than the two of our fingers combined."
Tang Ping held his forehead, thinking about it, how could two teenagers who were almost primitive tribes report accurate figures?
But just now they said that the tribe has more than ten horses, and only the strongest warriors can ride them. So it seems that it is not a very big tribe, and the population is not too large.
But it doesn't matter. He believes that there will be exchanges between tribes. As long as he wins this tribe, things will be much easier to handle.
Following their directions along the way, Tang Ping and the others finally saw a particularly tall eucalyptus tree in front of them around 5 p.m., and there was a human habitat underneath.
I guess this is how the Eucalyptus Tribe got its name.
"There, that's our tribe." Hongshi and Wuyun both jumped up on the carriage with some excitement.
They came out to complete the coming-of-age ceremony, but almost ended up leaving it outside. Now they were able to return to the tribe safely. They even felt that bringing Tang Ping back was equivalent to bringing back a large amount of food.
After all, those red stones and black stones are not valuable.
The steam car quickly headed towards the Eucalyptus Tree Tribe, and the huge noise soon alerted the tribe who were preparing dinner.
