: 507 Mangrove Swamp

Chen Rui walked in the jungle.
Chen Rui said, "The road is very difficult to walk, every step is very difficult, muddy soil, the ground is very slippery, cliffs and cliffs everywhere, exhausting, under 100% humidity, clothes stick like glue on It makes the temperature feel more than 100 degrees on your body. It is difficult to advance in the dense jungle. In fact, the soldiers usually advance at a speed of only one to one and a half miles in the dense jungle. "
Chen Rui entered the Panama jungle on the fourth day.
Chen Rui advanced more than 20 kilometers along the Caminorio Trail.
Chen Rui was a bit tired. The wet surroundings, muddy mud (pig) (pig) (island), made Chen Rui very uncomfortable.
There are cliffs, mangroves, swamps and wetlands, and rivers and valleys with fast-flowing rivers. It is very difficult for Chen Rui to cross, and it takes several times more energy than usual.
Chen Rui said, "You ca n’t go against the jungle, you have to take advantage of it. Everything you need to survive in the jungle is right there. Drinking water, food and medicine are not scarce. You can use what you know to survive in the jungle. To let you die, knowledge is the biggest key. In front of me, I found a cinchona tree. The bark of this tree contains an alkaloid, commonly known as cinchona cream, which is an antimalarial medicine.
It has saved countless souls in history. The Indians called it the sacred tree. When the Indians encountered malaria, they would use this bitter bark for self-healing. Although cinchona trees are mainly produced in Indonesia. But its hometown is Ecuador in the Americas. There are longevity in the jungles of Central and South America and northern South America. After Columbus discovered the new continent, Europeans poured into the America in large numbers. A chief called Bedro Leiva was out of friendship to the missionary Juan. Lopez revealed the medicinal value of the cinchona tree and gave him a piece of cinchona tree bark as a memorial. So the secret finally fell into the hands of Europeans.
Now, I need to bring some of its bark, prepared. In fact, in the wet rain forest, mosquitoes breed and are very easy to be infected with malaria. If you do not carry medicines for treating malaria, it can save your life. "
Chen Rui took some bark from the tree. Keep it in your backpack and continue along the Caminorio trail.
"In front of me is a cliff. This trail seems to have disappeared completely. About 500 years ago, the Spaniards used hundreds and hundreds of slaves to build this huge The vineyard bridge, crossing the canyon and the rift, was the vineyard bridge of the Spanish who transported gold. But today, they are completely gone, which is what I see now. Going around, adventure is like Pandora's box, you never know what you will encounter. "
Chen Rui returned along the same path. Chen Rui found herself lost and lost in this jungle.
"Survival in the jungle, you have to learn to fit in the jungle, the jungle will give you good returns, food, water, warm shelter, you will find that survival in the jungle is not difficult as imagined, but if You are lost in the jungle, and even if you get the best return from the jungle, it will not help you. The jungle will trap you here and there is nowhere to run. Now, it is difficult for me to tell the direction. Here is like An endless labyrinth, the curved path extends in all directions, which way is the right direction is like buying a lottery ticket. Fortunately, I can use the river to guide the direction. As long as I walk along the opposite direction of the river, I may Eventually found the right direction. "
Chen Rui headed upstream along the side stream.
"Suppose there is a heavy rain more than ten kilometers upstream of the river, and here will soon be flooded. Look at the river is very shallow, it may not reach the depth of your ankle, you do not realize the danger, and come from the upstream The flood of water will rush to you in a flash, and it is almost time when you have no response to wash you away. Many inexperienced hikers have learned the lesson, and the price is life. "
On the seventh day that Chen Rui entered the Panama jungle.
"Now in front of me is a mangrove swamp. The mangrove swamp is a tropical and subtropical coastal marsh formed by mangrove communities." American novelist John Steinbeck said: "No one likes mangroves. "I am no exception. The mangrove swamp in front of me looks very quiet, and the water is very calm, but in the calm there is a deadly danger hidden. Here is the paradise of Mori, viper, alligator, in There are thousands of alligators living in this swamp. The alligator's biting force is 990 kilograms, which is close to one ton. Compared with humans, the biting force is only 40 kilograms. If you encounter them on their site, There is no advantage to human beings. These guys will hide under the muddy water, only reveal their eyes and observe the nearby prey. Now I need to cross this mangrove swamp to reach the opposite shore. If I have a choice, I will not choose to cross The mangrove tree swamp, which is more than 300 meters wide, is just joking with my life, but I have no choice, so I have to choose to take risks. "
Chen Rui walked into the mangrove swamp, and the water did not cross the thigh.
The water is very turbid ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The water is less than half a meter deep and still can't see to the end.
Trees growing in mangrove swamps have evolved special root systems that look like tangled aerial roots like spider legs.
Chen Rui walked in the mangrove swamp.
It was very laborious to walk, stepping on it, stepping into the mud, the mud was like an arm protruding from the water, pulling Chen Rui's calf, making Chen Rui want to get out of the mud very hard.
The smell of corruption permeated the air.
Chen Rui said, "This smell is absolutely bad, just like the smelly drain in the sewer."
It was very quiet around Chen Rui, as if the surrounding air had frozen, it was a little abnormal.
"I'm sure there is one or several crocodiles near me who hear my movements, because there are very many alligators in this mangrove swamp, and there is an average short kiss every few hundred square meters Crocodile, "(to be continued ...)
