Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Yang Chen is not very familiar with giraffes, but seeing the mayor of Darwin unscrew a bottle of mineral water to the giraffe's mouth, and watching the giraffe's nearly two-meter-long neck upturned to drink, this reminded him of the animals in the zoo. Small animals.

Under normal circumstances, wild animals are mostly wary of humans and have a certain degree of aggressiveness. They rarely approach humans actively, let alone allow humans to approach.

Now this wild giraffe actually asks someone for water, a realistic version of man and nature?The Old Man and the Beast?

Mayor Darwin saw the curious look on the blue beauty's face, and explained with a smile: "It should have been rescued."

'Have been rescued? The blue beauty blinked and looked in the direction of Mayor Darwin's finger.

There is a layer of short light brown hair on the body of the giraffe, and the whole body is covered with dark brown spotted patterns of different shapes and sizes, just like wearing a "camouflage uniform".

Under normal circumstances, as long as they stand still, the markings on their bodies are natural camouflage to protect them and prevent them from being spotted by the enemy.

It's just that the giraffe in front of him has an obvious scar on its thick thigh, and that scar covers a large part of the giraffe's markings, which is very conspicuous.

The mayor of Darwin took back the empty water bottle that the giraffe drank, turned his head and saw the blue beauty whose eyes kept shining, who wanted to get close but dared not approach, and said with a smile: "Miss Lan, do you want to take some close-up photos with the giraffe? "

The blue beauty blinked her eyes: "Is it really possible?"

While stroking the giraffe's head, the mayor of Darwin said, "Give it a bottle of water, and it will let you touch it. Remember, don't touch the horns on its head."

A pair of short horns grow on the top of the giraffe's head, and the horns are covered with a layer of skin. The giraffe horns are equivalent to weapons, and are natural equipment for defense and attack.

When they are in danger, the pair of horns on their heads are weapons for attacking. Ordinary people can’t touch them casually, otherwise they will be regarded as provocative and will attack people who touch their horns. This is because of the living environment self-defense for the needs of

In particular, male giraffes are more "warlike, and they rely on a pair of horns for offense and defense.

However, when giraffes fight, it usually takes a long time. The two horns push against each other, like Tai Chi, which makes it look like they are having fun instead of fighting.

As time goes by, the horns of the giraffe giraffe are gradually degrading, so the giraffe is not very aggressive except that it is taller.

Although giraffes are not aggressive, it is difficult for ordinary animals to cause harm to them. With the running speed of giraffes, as long as they want to escape, very few animals can catch up to them.

The giraffe's tongue is very long, more than [-] centimeters long, which is a powerful aid for them to eat. When the blue beauty handed the opened mineral water bottle to the giraffe's mouth, the giraffe rolled its tongue and bit the mineral water bottle in its mouth.

Gulu Gulu, he drank up a bottle of water in one breath.

Real bottle blowing without panting.

After drinking the water, the giraffe did not leave, and let the blue beauty carefully touch its head.

Holding the camera, Yang Chen quickly helped Lan Meiren take a photo with the giraffe. After taking a close-up photo with the giraffe, Yang Chen and his party drove away satisfied.

The manor of the mayor of Darwin is in a valley hundreds of miles away from Darwin. There is a river passing through the valley. It is a natural grassland pasture with an area of ​​more than [-] acres.

In the Northern Territory, such a large ranch is one of the best.

Since the valley is surrounded on all sides, there is no harassment by large carnivores, and there is no risk of losing cattle and sheep in the valley.

Therefore, the pastures are basically stocked in the open air around the clock, and no one needs to manage them. Only the harvest season is busy every year, and the rest of the time is free.

There are not many people in the entire ranch, only the mayor of Darwin and his family and a dozen or so families of aboriginal workers.

Australia's grazing method is basically open-air grazing, which is completely different from the domestic feeding of pigs, cattle and sheep. This is why Australian beef and milk powder are particularly popular in later generations.

However, with such a large area of ​​land, Yang Chen felt that it was too cost-effective to use it for grazing. If it could be used to grow food, it would be much more cost-effective than simple grazing.

Especially since it's so close to Darwin, with this piece of land in hand, if we just grow food, Darwin's population exceeds 100 million, and it can fully support it.

It's just that such a good place, Yang Chen was afraid that the mayor of Darwin would not sell it, so he didn't have the nerve to bring it up.

"This is my wife, Is Elus."

"This is my eldest son, Hans"

"Second Son Lucy"

"My Little Daughter Lina"

The mayor of Darwin has two sons and two daughters, a family of six, except for the eldest daughter who couldn't come back because of something, the others heard that Yang Chen was going to be a guest at home today, so they all waited at home early.

After introducing each other, the mayor of Darwin asked, "Mr. Yang Chen, are you tired? Do you need to take a break?"

Yang Chen shook his head in doubt. It took less than two hours to come all the way. With the excitement of driving a heavy-duty off-road vehicle, he still hasn't slowed down after getting out of the car. How can he feel tired.

After hearing this, the mayor of Darwin patted Yang Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "In this case, let's go change our clothes, and I'll fly a plane to take you around this valley later."

Hearing that he was flying a plane to inspect the valley, Yang Chen didn't have a place to sit, he didn't hesitate at all, and followed Mayor Darwin into the house to change clothes.

After a while, Yang Chen came out wearing Hans' usual hunting clothes.

And the blue beauty also changed her clothes, and stood with Lina, the daughter of the mayor of Darwin, with a light shotgun in their hands.

Yang Chen and the mayor of Darwin flew in the sky, while Hans and the others drove a light convertible off-road vehicle to catch up on the grass garden. The speed was very fast.

From the top to the bottom, Yang Chen really felt the vastness of this valley. Such a place, instead of the inland ancient times, is an absolute treasure of geomantic omen.

Chapter 682

By the small lake in the valley, Yang Chen and his party stopped.

Now it's lunch time, and everyone has no plans to return. They are going to have a picnic here, and there are picnic tools in the car, which is very convenient.

Accompanied by the mayor of Darwin, they hunted two wild rabbits nearby. These half-domestic, half-wild rabbits have no other characteristics, only one word is 'fat'.

There are no natural enemies in the ranch. These wild rabbits lack exercise, and they are full of fat, like meat balls, with fat heads and big ears.

The only carnivore in the valley is the shepherd dog. These fat rabbits are their favorite food. Since the number of wild rabbits in the pasture has been controlled, there are not many.

On the edge of the small lake, Yang Chen and the mayor of Darwin each held a rabbit, squatting on the bank and cleaning it.

While cleaning the rabbits, the mayor of Darwin looked up at his son and daughter who were preparing things from time to time, and said with emotion: "I bought this pasture when I came to Darwin 20 years ago. After a while, Hans and the others have grown up. grown up..."

Yang Chen was a little confused, he didn't understand what Mayor Darwin wanted to say, so he could only listen quietly.

Two people, one was talking, the other was listening, and no one came to bother.

"Now Hans and his two brothers have graduated from university and are working. Next, they plan to settle down in Melbourne."

Speaking of this, the mayor of Darwin couldn't help but paused, and then continued: "In two years, I, the mayor, may be transferred to another place. I have stayed in this place for a long time. To be honest, I am somewhat reluctant to leave."

Hearing this, Yang Chen finally understood that the mayor did not invite him to his house for no reason.

As the so-called, iron camp, flowing soldiers.

This officialdom is actually the same as the military camp. For a person like the mayor of Darwin, his position, no matter whether it is above or below, will not allow him to stay in one place for too long.
