19 Hippo wounding incident

It will be Kenya's autonomy day soon, and Ted is going to take Xiao Hang to the Great Rift Valley during the short vacation.

The Great Rift Valley in East Africa is called the Scar of the Earth. Xiao Hang originally thought that there would be a desolate and gloomy abyss, but he did not expect it to be such a lush scene: under the blue sky, a few elegant white clouds and the distant The peaks complement each other, and the mountains are dotted with sparkling rivers and lakes. The moisture of the rainy season makes all kinds of vegetation on the slopes beautiful, and the tall prickly pears and prickly pears are in full bloom with red, purple and yellow flowers.It's so beautiful. The landscape is similar and different from the ones in China. Many vegetation here are not found in China. The most spectacular is the rows of tall fairy pillars. It doesn't take hundreds of years to grow so strong. of.

The hotel they stayed in was built in imitation of the dwellings of primitive tribes in Africa. Under the cover of tall acacia trees, the single-family wooden house with a crescent roof looks like the dwelling of a fairy in a fairy tale, but the inside of the house is a modern and luxurious hotel. The layout, this design is simply a paradise for vacation.

Outside the villa, iron tea tables and seats were placed under the huge silk tree. Xiao Hang took a bath and sat on the chair, drinking tea while watching the antelopes strolling leisurely in the distant woods.Don't want to move at all, just sitting like this is the best leisure and enjoyment.

"I'll take you to Lake Naivasha later." Ted walked over and said, putting his chin on Xiao Hang's neck.

"Oh." If Xiao Hang said that he wanted to sit still like this, he wondered if it would destroy his lover's elegance.

"Why, not interested?" Ted asked with a chuckle.It is the rainy season in Kenya, it rains almost every day, and there are not many tourists, but Ted chose this time to bring Xiao Hang here because he doesn't like the feeling of being crowded.

"No, I'm just too immersed in such an otherworldly atmosphere."

"Is this extraordinary?" Ted gently wrapped around a lock of Xiao Hang's hair, "In the future, I will take you to see more beautiful scenery that you can't imagine."

"Kenya is really a paradise for wild animals." Seeing two fat hippos flashing by the edge of the forest near the river, Xiao Hang couldn't help admiring.

"Go and eat, and take you to Lake Naivasha in the afternoon, which is the real paradise for wild animals."

Lake Naivasha was formed by the collapse of the Great Rift Valley fault in East Africa. The sparkling lake can’t see the edge. There are large papyrus growing in the swamp beside the lake, and groups of waterbucks and hippos are leisurely around. Foraging, thousands of flamingos in the lake stop or fly, and there are other waterfowl that Xiaohang is not famous for.

Xiao Hang has always been very homely, there is no place that he particularly wants to go, and there is no travel partner with him. At this moment, he sincerely thinks that traveling is quite good, especially - he is accompanied by his favorite person, no wonder why? At that time, honeymooning became popular all over the world. Do you feel a little honeymooning now?But this kind of thinking must never be told to Ted, otherwise the kid would be very frightened.

The beauty of Lake Naivasha has not been seen enough, and the afternoon showers are coming.Both Ted and Xiao Hang didn't bring umbrellas. Although they quickly ran to the shelter set up for tourists, they were still chilled by the heavy rain.

"You know it's the rainy season, why don't you bring an umbrella?" Xiao Hang said with some complaints, he is indeed inexperienced, but Ted shouldn't have stayed in Kenya for such a long time without knowing it.

"I never take an umbrella when I go out." Ted was a little helpless, and it was indeed his own negligence.

"Forget it, it's such a hot day, a little rain is just enough to cool off the heat." Looking at his lover's apologetic eyes, Xiao Hang changed his words to comfort him, both of them are old men, in fact, it's okay to be in the rain, It's not as sick as a little girl.

This season, there are not many people traveling to Kenya, and there are only a few people sheltering from the rain under the roof of the scenic spot.Before Xiao Hang and Ted could stand still, a girl about 20 years old suddenly ran in, with black hair and black eyes, she should be Asian.

"Are you Chinese?" the girl asked excitedly when she saw Xiao Hang and couldn't care less about tidying up her wet clothes.

"Yes." The girl was carrying a backpack and holding a camera. It seemed that she was traveling to Kenya.

"Are you here to travel too?" The girl looked at Ted next to Xiao Hang, and asked a little uncertainly.

"No, I work here."

"That's great. I'm studying international trade. I just want to find a job abroad. Unfortunately, it's too hard to find."

Xiao Hang couldn't bear the familiarity of the girl, but the opportunities to meet fellow Africans were not as many as he imagined, so he smiled politely at her.

"My name is Xu Qi, how about you?"

"Xiao Hang." See, just thinking about it like this made him even worse.

"I'm from T University. I'm a senior this year. I just graduated. It doesn't look long since you graduated, too?"

This time, Xiao Hang looked up at Xu Qi in surprise, it was too coincidental, he could still meet his junior sister here, even though she was not a professional.

"I also graduated from T University, majoring in French."

"Ah, Senior Brother." Xu Qi stepped forward excitedly and pulled Xiao Hang's arm.

Xiao Hang glanced at Ted's expressionless face, pulled his arm out calmly, and said, "You came with the group? Why did you place an order?"

"Just now the tour guide saw that the weather was not right and asked us to move ahead to avoid the rain. I wanted to take a few photos of hippopotamuses, but I couldn't keep up. I didn't expect that the rain would come down before this was taken, and the group didn't know where to go."

"There are a lot of wild animals here, and it's dangerous to be alone." Xiao Hang was a little speechless at Xu Qi's carelessness.

"Yeah, so I will act together with you, brother? Where do you live?"

Xiao Hang reported the name of the hotel, and Xu Qi immediately patted her thigh happily: "Great, I live there too. In this way, I don't have to contact the tour guide, I just go back with you in a while, in fact, I have been I like self-guided tours, and I don’t have much interest in group tours.”

He glanced at Ted helplessly, what should we do?If I had known not to mention the name of the hotel, it would be even more difficult to get rid of Xu Qi.

"Then you follow us." Ted said lightly. Although he was a little displeased that a person appeared to disturb his and Xiao Hang's two-person world, he was also Xiao Hang's junior sister. Got jealous with a little girl.

"Ah, your Chinese is really good." Xu Qi raised her head and observed this handsome foreign guy. He is really handsome, and he is not in the same style as Xiao Hang. Today, in addition to the beautiful scenery, I can still see these two superb Handsome guy, the trip to Kenya was really worth it.

After a while, the rain stopped, and a young girl joined in, and the team of three seemed much more lively——

"There are so many giraffes, they are so beautiful, their coat color and spirit are completely different from those in the zoo!" A group of giraffes were foraging on the hillside by the lake, and Xu Qi pressed the shutter on them desperately excitedly.

"Look, that's why I can't stand women the most." Ted said to Xiao Hang in French.

"Hehe, there's nothing wrong with that, Xu Qi seems quite straightforward."

"Why, are you interested?" Ted asked jokingly.

"Forget it, I have no blessings." I have been completely bent by Ted, and now I only have him in my eyes, how can I accommodate girls.

Along the way, Xu Qi's shutter didn't stop, and Xiao Hang couldn't help wondering if she was a photography enthusiast, even if it was repeated animals and repeated scenery, she would not let it go.

Now, Xu Qi is taking pictures of a group of hippos at close range.

"No, she's too close!" Seeing Xu Qi approaching a baby hippopotamus and preparing to take a picture, Ted, who had been resting beside Xiao Hang by the water, suddenly stood up.Hippos are not very tempered, especially female hippos who have just given birth to cubs, and attacks on people often occur in Kenya.

Ted ran towards Xu Qi quickly, intending to pull her away, but he was too far away. Before Ted got close, the female hippopotamus had opened her mouth and bit Xu Qi's thigh.

"Ah..." The shrill scream frightened Xiao Hang, who came after him, his heart trembled.

The female hippopotamus bit Xu Qi's leg and threw it towards the sky, and Xu Qi fell heavily to the ground with a "slap".Seeing that the female hippopotamus was about to rush up, if he stepped on it, he would be killed, Ted quickly picked up Xu Qi's dropped camera and threw it at the female hippopotamus' eyes.Taking advantage of the moment when the female hippo stopped in pain, Xiao Hang hurriedly picked up Xu Qi and ran out.

The two ran wildly for a while, seeing that the female hippopotamus did not catch up, they took a breath and put Xu Qi on the ground to check her injuries.Seeing this, she was startled, Xu Qi's face was pale and pale, and she could only breathe out of the pain, her trousers were already stained red with blood.I can't control that much for a while, Xiao Hang brushed her pants open, the hippo's teeth are sharp and big, two blood holes on the thighs are bleeding, one of them may just hurt the artery , The amount of bleeding was astonishing.Xiao Hang quickly tied the top of the wound tightly with the cloth strip of his trousers, and the amount of bleeding finally seemed less scary.

"Call for help?" Xiao Hang asked Ted.This time, there is no time to study whether Xu Qi hurt her bones when she fell, the wound on her leg alone was fatal enough.

"When the ambulance arrives, I think everyone will be dead. My car is not far away. Take her directly to Daniel's place." Seeing Xiao Hang nodded, Ted picked up Xu Qi and ran towards the parking direction quickly. .

When the two rushed to Daniel's clinic, Xu Qi was already in a coma.Daniel saw the bloody girl in Ted's arms, and arranged for assistants and nurses to push her into the operating room without saying a word.

The operation lasted for more than two hours. During this period, Xiao Hang and Ted didn't say much, but just waited quietly in the clinic. Although they met Xu Qi not long ago, but such a big living person encountered an accident in front of him. I feel bad.

"Don't worry, I'm out of danger." When Daniel came out of the operating room with a slightly tired expression, his first words were to comfort the two friends.

Hearing this, Xiao Hang and Ted finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The artery was injured in the thigh, the calf was broken, and I had a slight concussion. Fortunately, you sent it in time. The injury on the thigh is very dangerous." Ted's judgment at the time really saved Xu Qi's life. Arrived, I'm afraid my life will be lost.

"Forget it for now, I'm so nervous, let's go eat." This time he relaxed, and after tossing for a long time, Xiao Hang felt hungry.

"Let's go." Ted put his arms around Xiao Hang's shoulders, motioning for Daniel to come along.

"Thank you, Daniel." Xiao Hang said sincerely.

"Thank you for what I do. This is a doctor's job." Daniel thought for a while and asked, "What does this girl have to do with you? I also look like a Chinese."

"It doesn't matter, I just met in Lake Naivasha, so it's my alumni."
