Big Islander 2

Chapter 320 Big Ear Thief
As local aborigines, the guess of the two soldiers was indeed correct. They saw the big birds flying to the front, stretching their long necks meekly, looking familiar.

It was also the first time for Tang Jide to see birds like emus. He saw that they were slightly smaller than African ostriches. They were covered with gray feathers, their necks were also bare, and their two long legs were strong and powerful.Tang Jide watched for a long time, but he didn't see where their wings grew.

These few emus are not unfamiliar at all, one of them lowered its head and swallowed a banana in Daxing's paw, and swallowed it in a big way; the rest of them rushed to roast until golden The whole sheep is working hard. It seems that this bird is an omnivore and can't help but eat meat and vegetables.

"I remember that there are kangaroos and emus on the national emblem of Australia. You are also the national bird anyway. You have a bit of status. As a bird, I am a little bit ashamed." Pheasant began to despise these big birds, thinking that their Temperament, it is a fight with Fatty.

At this time, Da Xing said ooh, and gesticulating, stepped forward to reason with the emu who snatched his banana.As a result, the other party ignored it at all, took big strides, ran towards the jeep, found a bag of food, and tore off the packaging bag on it.

This kind of robbery also made Da Xing very angry, so he jumped up and kicked the emu's ass, but the emu continued to eat without paying attention.

"Food!" Pheasant saw through the essence of these emus, so he shouted loudly and began to drive them away.It's just that these emus are rascals, they should eat and drink.

The pheasants lost their temper by them too, so they could only mutter viciously: "There is no free lunch in the world. Once you have enough food and drink, just give us a ride."

Hearing what it said, the good partner Daxing immediately put it into practice, swooping on the emu's back, hugging the other's neck, and the two hind legs drooped, which was just right.

The emu stopped immediately, turned around, and greeted Da Xing with its big flat mouth, but fortunately, the little shrimp stepped forward in time to calm him down.

So they began to share the roasted whole lamb, and Tang Datou's skill completely conquered the two soldiers. They secretly made up their minds: no matter what the price, they must learn this skill.As for the few emus, they also screamed with hunger.But everyone doesn't have a good impression of such foodies. Humans can't eat enough, so there is no way to feed them, so in the end they can only gnaw on the bones.

After everyone finished eating the mutton and continued on the road, except for the two soldiers who drove, everyone else rode on the emus.But those emus refused to cooperate and stood still, refusing to move forward.Fortunately, this kind of bird never walks backwards, otherwise, it must be holding back and beating the backwards.

"If you want to mix food and drink, you have to pay a price." The pheasant quickly came up with a bad idea, asking Daxing to find some sausages, tie them all to sticks with ropes, and then carried them in front of the emu.Seeing the dangling sausage in front of him, the emu was suddenly full of motivation, striding forward with great strides.The sausage is always dangling in front, but I just can't eat it.

To say that the speed of the emu is really not slow, with two long legs thrown, there is also a feeling of speed, and it is estimated that the speed can definitely reach [-] to [-] kilometers per hour.

Riding an emu and galloping on the grasslands is really cool.Especially the pheasant, the most proud: "Wow quack, a sausage can fool you to Sydney."

It is thousands of miles from here to the southeast coast. It is estimated that the sausages will turn into stinky sausages by then.And after riding for a while, everyone also felt that bumping on the emu's back was not a very pleasant thing, so they let these strong men go.Those emus finally got their wish and ate the sausage into their mouths.

In fact, birds like emus are very adaptable, so they appear in many zoos around the world. Obviously, this has a lot to do with their temperament.

Just when everyone was about to go back to the jeep, they were surprised to find that the kangaroo had been jumping behind, as if never leaving.

"I'm totally disappointed in you guys, so I'm just wondering, kangaroos, emus, bears like you, how did you get on the national emblem?" Pheasant couldn't help complaining, but it still This kangaroo is really wronged. It's not for eating and drinking. It's mainly because the little shrimp gave it the essence of life, so this guy is reluctant to leave.

And looking at the affectionate appearance of Xiao Xiami and the kangaroo, he probably planned to lure this guy back to Peach Blossom Island, so Tang Jide didn't expel the kangaroo, since he still had a jeep idle anyway.

On the contrary, the soldiers driving were somewhat dissatisfied. Although the kangaroo is a representative of Australia, its status is actually not high.A large number of kangaroos are hunted every year, and kangaroo meat is a popular delicacy, which creates a large amount of foreign exchange for Australia every year; and the fur of kangaroos is also very valuable.So when the big kangaroo was sitting high in the jeep, the soldiers were of course a little emotional.

After listening to Li Muhao's explanation, Tang Jide and the others understood the inside story, and even the pheasants couldn't help sighing: "It turns out that these kangaroos are in the same status as fat pigs. Their lives are miserable. They are all slaughtered. Dumb, In the future, you should hang out with us, at least after arriving at Peach Blossom Island, you don’t have to worry about getting stabbed.”

Of course, the big kangaroo named Dumb couldn't understand the chatter of the pheasant. At this moment, it was leaning on the car seat, squinting its eyes as if it had fallen asleep, and it looked a little dazed.Moreover, Dai is a homonym for kangaroo, so everyone acquiesced in the name.

In the evening, everyone found a flat grassland for camping. Dumb jumped out of the car and began to eat grass on the ground. This guy is not very picky eater, but he eats a lot and eats for a long time.

Li Muhao and another soldier set up the tent, while Tang Jide took care of the dinner.Just after eating a lot of mutton at noon, Tang Jide was going to make something light and look for some wild vegetables on the grass.Although he is not familiar with the plants here, as long as the essence of plants and trees is emitted, he can quickly identify which plants can be imported.

Even if some wild vegetables are too bitter, Brother Big Tou only needs to process them a little to make them delicious.This made the two Australian aborigines also amazed.

He was digging wild vegetables with his head down, when suddenly a black shadow appeared in the grass. After being startled, Brother Big Tou realized that it was a short-tailed rabbit with light yellow fur and disappeared into the grass.So he smacked his lips: "It seems that the taste of smoked hare is also good——"

While speaking, several figures of hares flashed in the grass.This time, Tang Datou would not let them go, with a flash of the rattan whip, all three hares were caught.Holding the long ears of the hare to try the weight, it is estimated to be four to five catties, which is very fat.

Seeing Tang Jide come back with a bunch of hares, Triss cursed "Damn", and scolded Tang Datou in a daze: It's just a few rabbits, so you can't curse people like that?
It was Li Muhao who saw Tang Jide's embarrassment, and quickly explained that what the soldier Tris scolded was a rabbit, not a person.However, Tang Jide still didn't quite understand it. He scratched the back of his head: "Hares are docile and herbivores, so they don't seem to attract people's hatred, right?"

The pheasant is also holding the stinky feet: "Little white rabbit, white and white, with two ears pricked up, loves to eat radishes and vegetables, it is so cute jumping around."

Li Muhao smiled wryly after hearing this: "Maybe it is true in other places, but in Australia, hares are the most troublesome and hateful animals."

That's it, then we don't have any psychological burden to eat it——Tang Jide was skinning the hare while listening to Li Muhao's explanation.It turns out that hares are not indigenous to Australia, but also alien species, brought here from Europe hundreds of years ago.At that time, a rancher raised 24 hares in his ranch, preparing to hunt in his spare time.

As a result, due to the strong reproductive ability of wild rabbits and the fact that there are no natural enemies on the continent of Australia, their numbers expanded rapidly, reaching hundreds of millions at the peak.

As a result, rabbits began to compete with sheep for grass, and because they like to dig holes, they caused serious damage to pastures, and the Australian ecosystem was on the verge of collapse.To this end, Australia has launched a massive hare eradication campaign, exhausting various methods and consuming a lot of manpower and material resources, but the results are still not obvious enough. Until now, there are at least [-] million hares living freely in the grasslands of Australia.

Many ranchers have to use barbed wire to enclose their pastures. Perhaps those who brought rabbits to Australia in cages would never have imagined that 100 years later, humans would be forced into bigger cages by hares.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly harmless hare would be a disaster, Brother Datou was taken aback when he heard that.He looked at Dui who was bouncing on the grass, then turned to Xiao Xiami and asked, "If we bring the kangaroo back to Peach Blossom Island, won't we also bring back a disaster?"

Before Xiao Xiami could speak, the pheasant took over the conversation first: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you get back thousands of them, as long as they are all male."

Of course, Xiao Xiami would not accept such a bad idea as a pheasant.Besides, Peach Blossom Island has a limited area, and because of its small size, many things are relatively easy to control.However, this also reminded Xiao Xiami: it is better to be more cautious when dealing with alien species.

Only then did Tang Jide settle down, and began to cook a few hares with peace of mind, planning to cook them in a pot first, and then smoke them.His hometown is in the Northeast, and he has always been obsessed with the deliciousness of the Northeast smoked rabbit.

The two soldiers also set up the tent and followed Tang Jide to steal the lesson.While Tang Jide was busy, he was still nagging: "In the final analysis, Australia is still a vast land and sparsely populated. If it were placed in China, there would be hundreds of millions of hares, which would not be enough for each person. They would have eaten them all long ago. Even if it becomes a disaster, do you think this is because there are many people and strength—"
