Chapter 524: Camping accident
In Uncle Ge's "See You or Not", he often drives his RV to play wherever he goes, and eat and drink wherever he goes.
In the United States, this way of traveling leisurely in an RV has a history of more than 60 years.
There are about 16,500 public and private campsites in the United States. The unique charm of nature has made countless people drive their RVs and take their families out to play.
Eric and his party did not drive an RV, but just drove out an ordinary Cadley.
Although there is no RV, there are a lot of things to prepare.
Drive to the area near the center of Sunset Park.
With green grass and babbling water flowing through it, it is the perfect place for camping.
After getting off the car, Al immediately ran towards the creek.
Leslie also ran after him.
Although Leslie has lived as an adult for a long time now, her heart and appearance often show some childishness.
For her, camping is definitely one of her favorite outdoor activities.
Harper and Lean got out of the car, ready to set up a tent with Eric.
"Do you know what you are most afraid of in the wild?"
Eric asked Harper as he tied the rope.
"Beasts, like jackals or leopards?"
Harper said uncertainly.
Li'an has a different opinion, "I think it's a venomous snake. In the wild, you have to wrap your whole body, especially your legs. In the dense jungle, if you accidentally touch those venomous snakes, it is definitely a disaster. ."
"that's right."
Eric agreed with Li'an's opinion, "but I still have some different opinions. Compared with things like poisonous snakes, I am still more afraid of those flies and mosquitoes."
As a person with very rich experience in field exploration, Eric has a deep aversion to mosquitoes and flies.
"Think of those black flies, deer flies, mosquitoes. If you don't protect yourself, when you come back from the wild, your neck will look like a map of the Caucasus."
Eric took out a bottle from his bag as he spoke. He squeezed a few drops out of it, got on Harper's arm, and then put a few drops on Lean's arm.
"Clove oil and eucalyptus oil can help you deal with these pesky insects, but the easiest is citronella oil, which can last you a week for $2."
Eric smeared it on his neck, "But the smell of citronella oil is like gun oil, so... I guess you won't like it too much."
Harper stretched out his nose and sniffed the dewormer that Eric put on her arm, looked up at Eric, and felt a little surprised, "I didn't know you were so considerate."
"I've always been so considerate, but you just didn't notice it."
Eric clapped his hands easily, he had already set up the tent.
After pitching the tent, Li'an took a frying pan from the car.
It looks like Li'an is going to cook in the park.
"Hemingway said that cooking is as annoying as insects in camping."
Eric looked at the frying pan in Li'an's hand and said to Harper.
"yes?"
Harper smiled and stared at Eric with a bad look, "I also brought a stew pot! Look up at the stars, and Roast Beef, your favorite, don't you like it?"
"Forehead......"
Eric felt that the atmosphere was developing in a dangerous direction, so he quickly raised his hand and surrendered.
"That's what Hemingway said, actually I love cooking, especially cooking at camp."
"Humph! You're smart!"
Harper snorted, ran to Lean, and went with her to get the cutlery out of the car.
After chatting for a while, the sun began to rise gradually, and it was noon.
Leslie and Al happily walked over from the creek.
Especially Leslie, with two trout in hand.
Eric was a little stunned, saying that there are such big trout in such a clear water.
"It was given to us by the aunt who was camping next door."
Without waiting for Eric to ask, Al revealed the origin of the trout.
"Then have you thanked auntie?"
Harper came up and asked Al.
"Yes, I have already thanked me. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Leslie."
Al pointed to Leslie, who was carrying the trout.
Leslie nodded smugly, "Of course, but Uncle Eric, do you know why they gave us trout? Because they are my fans, it's cool, isn't it?"
Leslie's eyes narrowed with joy, "Wonder Woman is still my title, at least in this world, everyone will call me by the title of Wonder Woman."
It seems that Leslie is especially happy to be able to compare Diana in some aspects.
Eric looked at Leslie's happy appearance and nodded pretentiously, "Just be happy."
At Leslie's strong suggestion, the group started making fried trout.
Eric likes to eat fish, but he has never eaten fried trout.
Wouldn't it be a dark dish like looking up at the stars?
However, this is obviously Eric's overthinking, and Li'an has a lot of experience in how to make this dish.
Light a charcoal fire and fry it with lard on a low fire.
Also put the prepared bacon in the frying pan, and the trout in the hot grease, dipped in cornmeal. The bacon is then placed on top of the trout, which creates a light golden crispy crust when cooked.
Eric tasted one first, and it tasted surprisingly good!
So he didn't hesitate to give his thumb up to Li'an.
Unexpectedly, Li'an's cooking skills are surprisingly good!
Al is also very interested in fried trout endured the heat, took one and put it in his mouth.
Then tears came out.
Leslie immediately laughed happily beside him.
After eating a few trout, Eric stood up, took a breath of fresh air, and looked at the distant scenery.
Feeling relaxed and happy, I felt that my whole body and mind were relaxed.
Suddenly, a flock of birds flew out of the dense woods.
The flock of birds seemed to be frightened, and flew around in a panic.
Some accidentally hit the surrounding tree trunks.
The flock of birds screamed "chacha", which immediately attracted the attention of Harper and the others.
A bird flew to Eric's side, fluttered, and almost flew into the frying pan.
Li'an hurriedly drove the birds away.
"what happened?"
Harper cast a worried look into the woods.
After so many incidents, Harper always thinks about the worst when he has something.
Wouldn't it be another alien invasion? !
Eric touched Harper's hand and comforted her in a soft voice: "Maybe it's just a big flamingo, eagle or other large birds that appeared in the woods."
Then he said to Leslie and Al: "You two stay here, take care of Harper and Lean, remember not to run around, understand?"
"Ok!"
Al nodded heavily.
"I will protect Aunt Harper and Aunt Leanne!"
