There are lots of dangerous and terrible insects in Northeastern India,but the tree-bees are the most terrible.They are killers.Unlike most bees which will sting (叮咬)you only if they are disturbed (打擾),tree-bees will attack you in thousands for no reason.And they will chase (追趕)you for your life.
Walking along a dusty road while I was on holiday there last year,I found myself,without the least warning,the centre of such an attack.The air above me suddenly became thick with bees.Though it was hot,I went cold all over.Until then I had never heard of Indian tree-bees,but I had recently seen a film called The Angry Swarm ,which was about killer-bees.
I began running to the village about half a mile away,but I was soon covered from head to foot with bees.I drove them away with my hands,only to make room for others.Each time I opened my mouth for breath,more bees entered my mouth,until it was stung to twice its usual size and I could hardly breathe.
When I reached the village,I found some workers building a house.I ran towards them for help.But as soon as the workers saw the bees with me,they ran for safety at top speed.
Soon my eyes had completely closed.I fell into a pile of brick dust.I pushed myself wildly down into it until my head and shoulders were covered.And then I tried hard to get out of the dust,the angry bees made a new attack on me.I was tired out and ran weakly about in circles.Soon I lost my consciousness (意識(shí)).
Later I learned that two quick-minded villagers ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded (包圍)me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away.They stayed with me,taking stings out of my body for the next three hours until a doctor came and gave me further treatment.
