I can see the commodity price curve

After listening to Chris's words, Zhang Yue fell silent.

He found that his perception seemed to be biased.

The lion is no match for the giraffe?

It's hard to imagine that an animal with such a ridiculously long neck could be so powerful.

It seems that what I saw may not be true.

Chris Jian Zhang Yue fell into deep thought and couldn't help but laugh: "There are many things that I really can't understand unless I see them with my own eyes.

In the savanna, the reason why lions are so powerful and scary is that they are aggressive.

We subconsciously avoid aggressive animals.

But when it comes to combat effectiveness, it can't defeat not only giraffes, but also most animals on the grassland. "

Zhang Yue was stunned: "It can't defeat most animals? Are you kidding me?"

After speaking, he pointed to a group of antelopes in the distance: "Don't tell me that a lion can't defeat an antelope!"

Chris spread his hands: "In most cases, antelopes are indeed no match for lions.

But it is equally wrong to say that an antelope cannot defeat a lion.

If an adult lion and an adult antelope were to face off against each other, the lion would most likely give up when faced with readily available food. "

"Give up?" Zhang Yue was stunned and didn't understand.

Chris nodded: "Yes, just give up.

The lion is afraid of the horns of the antelope.

If it attacks directly, it can kill the antelope with its powerful force and unparalleled explosive power.

But there is a high probability that this lion will be injured.

Animals are different from people. Due to the lack of treatment conditions, once injured, the wound will most likely become infected.

In this case, there is a high probability that it will die.

Even if they are lucky enough to survive the infection, they will be killed by other natural enemies.

Even if there are no natural predators, an injured lion will lose its fighting ability.

A lion without fighting power cannot hunt. If it cannot catch prey, there will be no food. Without food, the body will be further weakened.

This creates a vicious cycle, and the final outcome is predictable.

It can be said that for these carnivores, if they are injured, they will basically die easily. "

After hearing what Chris said, Zhang Yue couldn't help but said: "I told you not to lie to me.

Do you really think I don’t know that lions are social animals?
Even if it is injured, it still has its companions.

Regardless of natural enemies or food, as long as it can survive the wound infection, its companions only need to take care of it for a few days, and it will be resurrected with full blood and become the lion king across the grassland again. "

Unexpectedly, Chris looked at Zhang Yue in surprise: "Don't you know that the lion's biggest natural enemy is actually its own kind?"

"similar?"

"Yes. Although lions are social animals, there is usually only one male lion in a pride.

In other words, only the strongest lions have the right to mate.

As for the other male lions, they can only hide in the distance and enjoy the loneliness silently.

They kept spying on the lion's movements all the time.

As long as they find that the male lion is injured or is weak due to age, they will immediately launch a challenge to defeat the lion and become the new lion king.

And in order to prevent the original Lion King from recovering from injury, those lions who challenge him will be cruel. "

Zhang Yue was silent for a long time before sighing: "There is a saying that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It seems that it is not only for people, but also for lions."

Chris nodded: "Yes, especially under the premise of natural selection, the competition between lions is much greater than that of us humans.

Not only antelopes, but also wild boars, rhinos, zebras, elephants and more.

All larger animals, in terms of strength alone, the lion is no match.

It's just that these animals, like lions, are also afraid of getting hurt.

Therefore, unless faced with a life-and-death crisis, these animals generally will not initiate an attack, which gives people the impression that they are particularly docile.

Take bison as an example, if a group of bison is targeted by a lion.

In the face of attack, even if these bison are more powerful than lions, they generally will not take the initiative to attack, but choose to avoid it.

The reason is simple. As long as you attack, you may be bitten by a lion.

Then their chances of survival will be very low.

Therefore, when encountering a similar situation, the bison's choice is to avoid it as much as possible and let the lion attack other bison.

Once a bison is eaten by a lion, these lions will generally become very quiet in the next few days, and they will be safe.

Plus there's competition within the bison herds themselves.

This includes not only the transmission of offspring, but also food, water sources, etc.

The grass on the prairie is not endless. After the bison have eaten, they have no choice but to migrate.

And every migration is very dangerous, more dangerous than being attacked by a lion.

Therefore, while ensuring your own safety, you can reduce the number of companions, which is also more conducive to your own survival. "

Zhang Yue's eyelids twitched: "So that's it.

I used to think that African buffaloes are very stupid. They are so big, but they only know how to dodge when faced with lion attacks.

Unexpectedly...these animals are often much more evil-minded than humans. "

Chris nodded: "Of course.

The reason why we humans can become the overlords of this world is that we know how to help each other.

From this we can find that those who are selfish generally do not end well. "

Zhang Yue glanced at this guy with a strange expression.

He suspected that Chris had spoken so much to him because he was deliberately irritating him.

But he has no evidence.

Just as he was suspicious, Zhang Yue suddenly felt his body shaking suddenly intensify.

what's the situation?
Chris said: "Be careful, there is a muddy road ahead.

If I guessed correctly, it should have rained heavily in this place. "

Zhang Yue nodded, grabbed the railings of the truck with both hands, and tried his best to stabilize his body.

But just then, he noticed the truck had stopped.

what happened?

Chris' expression changed: "It's over, the car got stuck in the mud."

Sure enough, Zhang Yue heard the sound of the driver slamming on the accelerator.

Just listen to chugging, chugging.

The truck kept shaking, trying to free itself from the mud puddle.

However, everything is in vain. As the wheel turns rapidly, the pit becomes deeper and deeper.

In the end, most of the wheel was sunk in.

The truck owner had no choice but to turn off the engine and open the door.

After checking, he said something to the people in the car.

Chris nodded and said to the others: "Everyone, go down!"

Then he said to Zhang Yue: "Let's go down and reduce the weight of the car. Maybe we can get out of the pit."

Zhang Yue nodded.

This is the best way.

After everyone got out of the truck, the truck owner and his three employees got back to work.

However, the truck was stuck too deep and no matter how hard we tried, it was useless.

In desperation, the truck owner had to find Chris.

The two parties discussed for a while, Chris nodded, and then said to Zhang Yue: "The boss hopes that we can help him push the car." Zhang Yue said it was no problem.

In this case, we need to help each other. As Chris said just now, the reason why humans can become the king of the earth is that everyone is united enough.

He moved his body and prepared to exert force.

In fact, the owner of the truck not only approached Chris, but also the other adult men in the vehicle.

Everyone stood next to the vehicle and supported the car with both hands.

The truck owner and his three workers had dug out a slope from the soil in front of the wheels.

In order for the wheels to have enough grip, a piece of wood was also placed on the slope.

All preparations were completed, and everyone worked hard at the same time under the command of the car boss.

The wheels of the truck began to spin desperately, and Zhang Yue's body bent into a bow. He roared, and the veins in his muscles swelled.

Suddenly he felt his hands loosen, and the truck wheels grabbed the wood underneath and began to move forward bit by bit.

Finally, it suddenly accelerated.

It turned out that after this period of hard work, the truck's wheels were already flush with the ground.

It came out of the ditch.

Zhang Yue looked happy, but the next moment, his expression changed.

The wheels suddenly began to skid, and the tires threw up a lot of mud. Zhang Yue was unable to avoid it and was thrown directly.

Seeing the truck running all the way away made him angry...

Just as he was about to get angry, he accidentally saw Chris next to him.

Zhang Yue smiled instantly, and saw that half of Chris's face was no less muddy than Zhang Yue's.

Especially his face, his nose and eyes were covered in mud, and his appearance could only be described as miserable.

Seeing the car getting out of trouble, the people nearby cheered immediately.

Then everyone rushed to the car, hoping to get in, but were stopped by the truck owner.

Truck owners need to put snow chains on the wheels.

While he was leading the people to work, suddenly a young black girl walked up to Zhang Yue and Chris.

She took out two pieces of cloth and handed them to Chris and Zhang Yue, then waved her hands to signal them to wipe their faces.

Chris waved his hand to refuse. Zhang Yue looked at this guy helplessly, reached out to take the towel handed to him by the girl, and then thanked him.

Although he pretended to be mute before, because he had no contact with other people, no one knew that he could not speak.

So now that Zhang Yue said thank you, the girl didn't notice anything unusual.

Then the other party said in English: "You're welcome."

Zhang Yue was a little surprised because he found that the girl's English was very standard.

In Africa, although many people speak the local language.

But the common language is still English.

Or maybe these people actually speak an African dialect of English.

But Zhang Yue didn't think anything of it.

The other party's standard of speaking English is normal, because as long as you want to speak standard English, you only need to study relatively professionally in school.

This is just like Mandarin. Although everyone usually speaks dialects, it seems that it is not particularly difficult for many people to change to Mandarin.

After wiping the mud off his face, Zhang Yuegang was about to return the towel to the other party, but seeing that it was already dirty, he turned to Chris and said:
"What are you doing standing still? Get some water!"

Chris looked at Zhang Yue with a strange look on his face. Zhang Yue told him several times, but he didn't seem to hear him.

Finally, Zhang Yue became impatient: "I said if you keep pretending to be stupid, believe it or not, I will expel you from the Guoyue Security Brigade?"

Only then did Chris come back to his senses. He quickly smiled and said, "Sorry, you want water, right? Wait a minute!"

After saying that, he took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap and poured it directly onto the white cloth.

The girl was stunned when she saw this: "This seems to be mineral water, right?"

Zhang Yue nodded: "It's mineral water."

Unexpectedly, the girl's expression changed instantly. She snatched the bottle from Chris's hand with an angry expression:
"How can you wash towels with mineral water? It's such a waste."

Zhang Yue was stunned: "Is it a waste?"

"Of course it's a waste. A bottle of mineral water like this should cost a dime, right?"

Now it was Zhang Yue's turn to be surprised. He asked Chris: "Is your mineral water so cheap?"

In his impression, a bottle of mineral water seems to cost two or three yuan. There used to be mineral water that cost one yuan a bottle, but now it is almost impossible to buy it.

Chris nodded: "A bottle of ordinary mineral water does cost a dime, but the one I bought is 15 cents a bottle. It is a very famous brand here."

Zhang Yue nodded, and then he realized that a dime here and a dime in China are two completely different concepts.

It's like a dime 40 years ago. At that time, not to mention a bottle of water, you could buy ten bottles of water.

He said to the girl with a somewhat apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, it's really wasteful to wash towels with this kind of water.

If it were my own towel, I would definitely be reluctant to wash it like this.

But your towel, not to mention a bottle of mineral water.

Even if it’s something more valuable, I can’t hesitate. "

He said this naturally to ease the awkward atmosphere.

After all, money is still very important to young girls.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhang Yue's compliment, the girl's face turned red:

"Don't talk like that, you'll be embarrassed."

Zhang Yue was a little stunned. What did the other party mean?
But he just thought about it. Seeing the girl still standing in front of him, Zhang Yue opened his bag.

Unzipping the bag, he handed over a cardboard box: "Here you go!"

The girl was a little confused: "What is this?"

"A little snack as a thank you."

What he gave the other party was chocolate, wrapped in tin foil on the inside and a thin layer of colored oil paper on the outside.

Seeing that the girl must have never seen it before, Zhang Yue explained: "You can just peel off the outer paper and eat it."

The girl nodded, opened the chocolate according to Zhang Yue's words, then broke off a piece and put it in her mouth.

The next moment her eyes lit up: "It's so sweet and the taste is so unique. This is the best dessert I have ever eaten."

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment. If I think the most flavorful dessert is your honey."

He spoke from his heart.

A variety of wildflowers grow in the prairie areas.

After these flowers are picked by bees, the honey is mixed together.

Its taste is very unique, with a hint of bitterness in your mouth, a bit like bitter melon.

There's also a hint of sourness, a bit like sour apples.

But more of it is sweet.

And this kind of sweetness is not as rich as candy, it is very light, standard sweet but not greasy.

The girl's eyes became brighter: "Have you ever eaten honey?"

Zhang Yue nodded: "Have eaten, what's wrong with you?"

"Can you tell me what this honey tastes like?"

"Ah?" Zhang Yue was dumbfounded.

The reason why he told the girl about honey just now was because he could tell that the girl should be a beekeeper.

Specialized in beekeeping on the prairie.

So if you say this, you should have a common language with the other party.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't even know what honey tasted like.

Could it be that I saw it wrong?
