491. The Timites
The African crowned porcupine is territorial-aware.
Yang Shubao took two large and two small four porcupines to the vegetable garden, which was planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes, which was a better food for the crown porcupine than corn and sorghum peanuts.
In addition, he said to Nicole, who was traveling with him: "There are trees next to the vegetable garden, and the crowned porcupines can climb the trees, so that if there are hyenas, wild dogs, and lions to hunt for food, they can escape to the trees." ”
Nicole was surprised: "They can climb trees?"
Yang Shubao nodded: "Yes, it's just that they don't climb if it's not necessary, but they do climb trees." ”
After a pause, he asked again: "Do you know that our ancestors left a saying, which is called 'Men can be reliable, and pigs will also climb trees'." ”
Nicole smiled: "I know, Lin Lin told me." ”
Yang Shubao said: "This sentence has always been misunderstood, in fact, this is what our ancestors left after seeing the crowned porcupine climbing the tree, in order to prove that men are indeed reliable." ”
Nicole squinted at him, with an expression that the old lady was not Lori not easy to fool.
Yang Shubao spread his hands: "You don't believe me?"
"I believe you, but I believe in animal encyclopedias even more, porcupines are not pigs. ”
"Then the original words of our ancestors are that men can be relied on, and porcupines will go up trees. ”
Nicole was amused, and the tourists looked at each other in the back: What are you talking about? Can you use English? We don't understand, just look at your happy smile.
They parted halfway, and Yang Shubao took the porcupine to the vegetable garden and brought out the two African rock pythons lurking in the vegetable garden.
The two rock pythons here are much larger, although they are not as exaggerated as the reticulated pythons, but they are also large pythons.
These three pythons stay together, plus that large group of sand pythons, the riverside woods can become a python garden.
He placed the python, and Kurutantan turned around as well.
Yang Shubao accompanied him again and took him to the little blacks.
The little blacks were sharpening their spears, they didn't know where to find some wood, and then tied the daggers that the police had given them to the wood to make long spears.
Kurutantan greeted them when he saw them, and the little blacks looked up together, and for the first time there was a more obvious expression on Mu Ran's face.
Their eyes widened and their mouths opened, delighted.
Yang Shubao was also very happy, okay.
Kurutantan crouched down to talk to them, and Eight stepped out of the crowd and spoke to him at a rapid pace.
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and began to lift his clothes, take off his pants, and pout his buttocks.
At this time, Lao Yang was stunned: What do you mean? Is this a chat? Or do you want to do a digital anorectal examination?
Eight also untied the large strip of cloth wrapped around his body, and pouted at him as well.
Kurutantan reached out and stroked his ass, then looked at each other and smiled.
Yang Shubao chuckled in his heart.
He couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly grabbed Kurutantan and asked, "Teacher, what are you doing here?"
Kurutan smiled, "We're identifying ourselves. ”
"Identify them, then these people are Sang, right?"
Kurutantan said, "You can say you can say you can't, they're Timites. ”
"Well, Timites, I've only heard of Semites. ”
"It's either Semitic or Timit, they are actually a branch of our San people, but they have long been separated from each other and become a branch on their own, which has been around for thousands of years. So it can be said that it is a Mulberry person, or it can be said that it is not a Mulberry person. ”
He pulled his pants again and showed his ass to Yang Shubao, and asked, "Did you see it?"
"No, I didn't see it, we have a slang saying in China, don't look at indecent people, we generally don't look at other people's butts. Yang Shubao was embarrassed to look at it.
Kurutan said helplessly: "Who told you to look at my ass? I let you see my tail vertebrae, the lower part of my vertebrae is bent and protruding outward, which is different from you. ”
Yang Shubao glanced at it just now and noticed that the tail vertebrae of Kurutan were indeed a little bulging outward, as if there was a bag.
The other little blacks bared their butts to him for him to see, and they all had something in common in this regard.
There was a passing hyena in the grass not far away, and it was stunned when it saw this scene: take the initiative to ask for such a good job, the first time I bumped into it.
Yang Shubao motioned for them to get dressed and asked, "Then teacher, can you understand what they say?"
"In the process of long-term separation, they formed a lot of dialects that I only understand, so I can understand but can only listen to a general idea, and I can't communicate in detail," Kurutantan said. ”
He is a very responsible person, and he has communicated with the Timmites as much as possible just now, so he told Yang Shubao the news he knew.
The Timmites were also a nomadic tribe, but they only lived in areas of shrubland or swampy wetlands, due to their custom of keeping rhinos, which prefer shrublands and swampy wetlands.
Hearing this, Yang Shubao couldn't help but ask, "They raise rhinos?"
"Yes, Timit means 'Domesticator of War Beasts' in our language, you know that there have always been wars between our tribes, right? We are not stupid and train animals for our own use. ”
"These fighting animals are called war beasts, the most powerful is the elephant, followed by the rhinoceros, the Timit will domesticate the rhinoceros, they are very powerful, in the early years of our San tribe very high. ”
Later, the Timites relied on their ability to domesticate war beasts and wanted to become the nobles of the tribe and control the power of the tribe, which was opposed by the tribe, and in a fit of rage, they took the war beasts and left, and became Timites from then on. ”
If there is one race of people on earth who are druids, it must be the San people.
The Mulberry people have a keen sense and are familiar with the various plant characteristics of the grassland, and they are particularly good at tracking animals and domesticating animals, but they are always short of food, so the domesticated animals have not domesticated a systematic new subspecies, and most of them are eaten in the process of domestication.
Yang Shubao remembered that when the little blacks first arrived, they were very excited and wanted to chase after the rhinoceros.
At that time, Lao Yang thought that they were going to hunt rhinos, but now it seems that this is not the case, they want to contact rhinoceros and domesticate rhinoceros.
Kurutantan continued to him: "This Temitan is supposed to live in the northernmost part of the Northern Province, and they say that the tribe is located between two large rivers that cross, and I guess they are talking about the Limpopo and Mogaraquina rivers. In addition, there is a large river to the east of these two great rivers, which I guess is the Sand River. ”
Yang Shubao high-fived: "Great, no wonder when they chose to build a house, they must have built it by the river, it turns out that their tribe is also on the bank of the big river." ”
Kurutantan nodded: "This is the difference between us and the Timites, we don't live in houses, they live in houses. But it's not so much a house as a rhino barn, and they take special care of the rhinos and don't let them be exposed to the wind and rain at any other time than fighting. ”
Yang Shubao asked, "So, if I take them to the Northern Province, will they be able to find their way home?"
Kurutantan said: "Yes, no matter where the San people go, they will never forget the way home. ”
