The river flowed quietly, perhaps no more than his knees, and it was also very narrow, only about two meters, delicate and beautiful.

Interestingly, he scanned the surface of the river and saw fish swimming in the grass at the bottom of the river.

These fish look like loaches, grayish-brown in color, with two whiskers on the back of their heads, and they swing around in the water very happily.

Uncle Yang is happy, breakfast has fallen, barramundi.

Barramundi is an Internet celebrity fish, and in recent years, many companies have taken it out to educate employees to learn the spirit of barramundia: tenacious survival, adaptation to desperate situations, and always turn over without dying.

According to the Internet, the barramundi can be built into the mud wall and then not die for four or five years, and when the rain breaks down the mud wall, it can still get out of it and be free.

But this is just a joke, like the story of a family building a house that pressed a turtle under the corner of the wall, only to collapse the wall decades later and the turtle is still alive.

In fact, this kind of paragraph does not conform to Marxist materialism, lungfish is indeed a special kind of fish, and they can be seen as an intermediate model of the evolution of marine animals to land animals, because they can breathe with gills when they are in the water, and they can breathe with their swim bladders when they leave the water.

The swim bladder of the lungfish is very large and amazing, and there are many air chambers of different sizes on the side wall of the central cavity of the swim bladder, like the alveoli of mammals, and there are many smaller air sacs in each small air chamber, like the vesicles of mammals.

They can survive without water, often burrow into the wet mud at the bottom of the river during the dry season, make small caves to hide in them, and breathe in the swim bladder for summer sleep. They also need to secrete special mucus from the skin to moisten the body and prevent dehydration.

During this time, they break down their usual muscle and fat reserves for energy, because their metabolic rate is very low during summer hibernation, so they can survive a period of drought.

It's a couple of months at most, but if it's five years, it's either dehydrated and dried fish or it's all stinky.

Seeing these lungfish Yang Shubao deepened his speculation about the appearance of the river, which is a rainy season river that can only appear when the groundwater is abundant in the rainy season, and it will disappear in the dry season.

Barramundi recover during the rainy season and burrow into the wet mud during the dry season to survive.

"I'm afraid this kind of life will be very painful and hard, right?" Yang Shubao squatted by the river and looked at them and muttered, "What kind of strength is supporting you to live your life so tenacious?"

Nate rubbed his nose and asked, "What did you say, city lord?"

Yang Shubao said: "Let John take care of the dogs, don't kill these fish ......"

"Good!" the goblins cheerfully agreed.

"I'm going to make them into a dish and eat them, and the barramundi still tastes good. Yang Shubao continued.

Nate's face suddenly lengthened, and he knew that he couldn't listen to the second half of the city lord's words.

Danny said sadly, "City Lord, why do you always like to hurt lives?"

Yang Shubao squinted at him and said, "You are still different? Bananas have no life? Tangerines don't have face? You are not a strong eater." Besides, I eat these barramundi for their good ......."

Then he told the two of them about the difficult life of the barramundi.

After listening to this, Danny went into the water with a helpless face, and Yang Shubao stopped him and said, "What are you doing?"

Danny said, "Catch fish for you, and free them from their miserable lives." ”

Yang Shubao said: "Don't worry, wait until the rainy season is over, and give them time to gain weight." ”

After a dry season, the barramundi consume almost all the fat in their bodies, and it is not delicious at this time.

He went back to cook, and the pork he hung in the shade of the eaves the other day was almost dried, and although the temperature was high, the pork did not stink, because he had salted it.

The quick knife cuts off, and the slices of pork peel off, and the red lean meat, yellow-white fat, bright colors alternate, very beautiful.

Lao Yang put the pork slices in the oil pan and fried them, then added the red peppers and green peppers, and the spicy taste rushed into his nose in the sound of spicy tea.

Stir-fried pork slices with chili and stewed rice are a perfect match, and Yang Shubao sat in front of the window and ate it while watching the scene of John's dog training, and he was very happy.

Then he heard a whimper below, and as soon as he looked down, a husky was drooling with its face raised.

"When did you come?" Yang Shubao ignored it, and then it began to scream.

Yang Shubao gave it a piece of chili pepper, and the screaming was louder.

With John and the dog guarding the territory, Nate and Danny have a free time.

Yang Shubao thought that the two of them were very busy some time ago, so he decided to take them to the bonfire party tonight.

But there are no extra seats on the motocross bikes, the pedals are low, and they can't step the pedals on the bike with short legs.

So Lao Yang thought about it, let each of them step on a pedal, and then face each other and put their hands on their shoulders to build a triangle.

Triangles are the most stable shapes.

The motocross bike bounced around on the grass, and Nate and Danny flew high like monkeys at one point......

The hard days are over, and the good times come in the evening.

Yang Shubao asked, "There are not too many people in the town, how many people can come to the bonfire party?"

Maison confidently said, "At least a hundred." ”

"So much?"

"The town has given notice in Hluchluwe that a lot of blacks will be coming. ”

"That's a long way to go. Yang Shubao doubts how many people will be willing to travel long distances to arrive.

Mason laughed: "You don't know the enthusiasm of blacks for campfires, believe me, a hundred is just a conservative estimate." ”

This is indeed a conservative estimate, and as the temperature drops as night falls, horses come at a sudden pace.

Normally, a matatu can accommodate twelve passengers, but after the matatu opened the door this time, Yang Shubao looked at it, and the flow of people was continuous......

"It must be a car made in India. He asserted.

The town has a government, and a square has been built in front of the government, and bonfires are held in the square.

During the day, the government personnel erected some wood on the land, like a pyramid, and as a torch was thrown up, the fire burned from the inside of the wooden pyramid.

There were more than a hundred blacks who arrived, and they formed a circle around the campfire, and then some of the girls began to take off their shirts and expose their breasts.

Yang Shubao subconsciously gasped: "Is this going yellow?"

Wu Chenjie was more knowledgeable than him, and he asked Maison, "Manager, are they from the Zulu ethnic group?"

Mason laughed, "Yes. ”

Hearing this, Yang Shubao suddenly realized that he had forgotten about it.

The Zulu are the most populous ethnic group in South Africa, numbering more than 10 million, and are considered to be the former owners of this land.

As the indigenous people of Africa, the Zulu people have many traditions, one of which is difficult for modern people to understand, and the girls in the tribe do not wear clothes on their upper bodies before marriage, and at most cover them with a few ornaments, in order to show their purity. And after marriage, they have to completely cover their whole bodies, which is to respect their husbands.

But this tradition was only maintained in their tribe, and certainly not in the city, and these girls, who usually dressed like European and American women in Hluchluwe, now left the city to face the campfire, and they were supposed to return to the tribe and adopt the tribal traditions.
