After breakfast, Kurutantan took everyone to visit the tribe, and it was then that Yang Shubao realized that the situation of the San tribe was even worse than what he had seen before.

In terms of dress, there are two main types of dress for the tribesmen, one is traditional dress, with only a crotch cloth on the body, carrying a bow and arrows, and the other is modern dress, T-shirts, shorts or long pants and so on.

Kurutantan told them that almost all of them dressed up in modern clothes had gone out, and that they wanted to have contact with the outside world, but the outside society did not want to tolerate them.

"When we go to cities and towns, we have no job opportunities, we are ostracized by other races, and we don't even have legal citizenship and status. Kurutan shook his head.

Yang Shubao said: "Racial discrimination, huh?"

"Yes, the whites above the middle class discriminate against the Zulus, the Zulus discriminate against the white people at the bottom, the whites at the bottom discriminate against us San people, they treat us like animals," Kurutantan said. ”

He introduced to everyone that enterprising young people always want to go to the outside world to wander and see, but they will soon come back, and as soon as they go out, they will be bled by a bump on the head.

At the end of the introduction, he said in frustration: "We San people can be said to be the most self-sufficient people on earth, but now we have to live on the charity of others. ”

There are very few outsiders in the tribe, let alone the yellow race.

Most people don't know that there are still yellow people in the world, and some people come up and ask them why their skin is not dark enough and if they are sick.

After taking a turn in the tribe, Yang Shubao understood the misery in Kurutantan's heart, the Sang people really have no tomorrow, there are many people in the whole tribe, but they lack vitality.

The young people were not a little energetic, and when they woke up, they did not go to work or hunt, but gathered together to drink.

Kurutantan said that there is no way to do this, young people who have no motivation to work and live can only borrow alcohol to live, and the wine culture is becoming more and more fierce among the younger generation, and drinking has become their only pleasure.

Zhao Yiduo chatted with a young man who could speak English and asked him why he got drunk in the morning.

The man said lazily, "Why shouldn't we get drunk in the morning?" I like to get drunk anyway, and I don't have much to do anyway, so we have nothing to look forward to. ”

Another problem with the tribe is that the pregnancy rate is rising, and the women who go out either come back with big bellies or come back with their children, and they are all deceived into getting pregnant outside.

However, the tribe is very tolerant and will not discriminate against these children with foreign blood.

On the contrary, the chiefs and elders of the tribe are very fond of children, and the tribe will always be more lively when there are more children.

The children are energetic and easy to educate, and Kurutantan is the principal of the tribal school, and he wants to teach the children about culture and hunting, and when the group visited, they saw some children practicing archery with bows and arrows.

Looking at the arrows that had little strength, Zhao Yiduo shook his head and said softly: "My lord, times have changed. ”

After the visit, Kurutan took them to meet the tribal chief, who was a very old man who could not speak English or Chinese, so everything had to be translated by Kurutantan.

The old man always had some difficulty communicating, and after Yang Shubao showed the water purification pot, he shook his head, and then waved his hand to let them leave his sheepskin tent.

Kurutantan hurriedly went up to communicate with him and told the party what they were coming for.

The old chief looked at Yang Shubao suspiciously, and it seemed that he didn't quite believe Kurutantan's words.

Kurutantan found someone to bring a bucket of freshly beaten sewage, put it in a water purification clay pot and poured it up.

The clay pot is filtered, and the water that flows out becomes much clearer.

The old chief touched the clay pot in amazement, and went out with the clay pot to look at the sun.

Another old man with a lot of paint on his face and body took a sip of the bucket, and then nodded and muttered.

Kurutantan began to talk to the old man, and he made gestures, and the old man kept nodding his head and began to talk to the old chief again.

Yang Shubao asked, "Who is this elder?"

"He's not an elder, he's a witch doctor of our tribe. Kurutan smiled, "Although he is a witch doctor, he also knows some medicine, and a medical team once came to our tribe and taught him some medical skills. ”

The witch doctor, who spoke English, came back and said, "Thank you for the gift, Kurutantan said it would get rid of some bacteria and viruses? ”

Yang Shubao asked: "Yes, they can solve some of your drinking water health problems, do you want to build your own earthen kiln to fire this tool? ”

"Are you NGOs providing technology for free?" asked the witch doctor.

Hearing that the old man still understands NGOs, Lin Lin smiled and said: "We are not NGOs, we are NPOs, but we are all ......"

"Ahem. Kurutantan interrupted her with two coughs.

NGO is an abbreviation for non-governmental organization, and NPO is an abbreviation for non-profit organization.

The witch doctor nodded when he heard that they were not NGOs and said, "It's good that you are not NGOs, we don't accept NGO things." ”

"In the past, NGOs came into our tribe and they brought us some daily necessities, but they didn't want to help us, but they took some videos in our tribe and used our tribe as a gun to attack the government," Kurutantan explained. ”

The witch doctor was very angry when he mentioned this, and he slapped the table angrily and said, "If I see them again, if we meet them again, I will definitely shoot them with arrows stained with the venom of the tree snakes, these bad seeds, they have killed us." ”

The witch doctor's attitude made Yang Shubao break out in a cold sweat behind his back, fortunately they did not belong to the NGO organization, and fortunately Lin Lin had dissociated himself from the NGO when he answered just now, otherwise they might not have been able to leave this camp today.

Song Chao also reacted, he changed to Chinese and said seriously: "Let Brother Bao come forward when communicating with the tribe in the future, others just need to smile and work, don't say anything!"

Lin Lin was a little aggrieved, who knew that NGOs were such a thing? NGOs have a good reputation in cities and most areas, and often do some public welfare undertakings.

The witch doctor then asked, "What kind of organization do you belong to to provide us with water purification equipment for free?"

"We don't belong to any organization, we do it because of our conscience. ”

The witch doctor was suspicious, and he said, "Conscience cannot be trusted. ”

Kurutan smiled, "But I can be trusted. ”

The witch doctor rolled his eyelids and said, "Yes, you can be trusted, and it is precisely because you brought them that we did not drive them away, but communicated with them, otherwise we would not have spoken to them." ”

Kurutan was afraid that Yang Shubao and the others would feel uncomfortable, after all, they were here to do charity, but instead of being grateful and appreciated, they would attract suspicion and trouble, and no one would be happy.

So he quickly explained: "The people of our tribe are uneducated, they are very innocent and stupid, they have been deceived a lot, please understand them, they are all poor people." ”
