528.Welcome Banquet (I wish you all the best in the New Year)
In the evening, the Timites, like other tribes, did not have a living room or banquet hall, but they built a bonfire in the open space in the middle of the forest, around which everyone drank wine and ate meat.
The Timit themselves make wine, and they make fig wine.
Nestled in this vast forest, the Timmite people live much better than most of the San people, and there are a large number of fig trees in the forest, and they pick figs for themselves and have a surplus to feed the war rhinos.
Yang Shubao and the others were invited to the most important clearing and sat around the bonfire in the center with the chiefs and elders.
The chieftain, who was also a tribal shaman, walked among the people with a scepter made of rhinoceros horn, constantly speaking in their language, impassioned, high-pitched and roaring with excitement from the Timites.
The English-speaking elders were warmly entertaining Yang Shubao and the others, and they raised their horn wine glasses to persuade them to drink from the moment they sat down, and they were very enthusiastic.
Benson knew that he was very satisfied, and the Timit people gave him such a courtesy, so he said to Yang Shubao: "Boss, we still have a lot of oil and food to bring, right? ”
Yang Shubao shook his head and said, "I'm still useful." ”
On the way back, they will not continue to run around the wasteland, but will find the nearest road, take Highway 1, and then take the main road back to the reserve, and if they drive quickly, they will be home tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Benson wondered, "What's the use of those things? If we find a road, we'll be able to find a gas station." ”
Kurutan guessed his intentions: "You want to trade rhinos with them? I'm afraid it won't work, war rhinos are not traded." ”
Yang Shubao still said: "Things are man-made." ”
The Timit put nets in the river, so not only fish but also freshwater shrimp and crabs could be eaten.
The wide river brings them a steady stream of fresh water, and they can catch hundreds of big and small fish every day.
The development of the Timite people was planned, such as not eating all the fish when they were caught, and some of them would be dried into dried fish to be used to stew soup when food was scarce or to entertain guests when they arrived.
There is a large cauldron hanging from the campfire, and in it is dried fish, and they can drink fish soup tonight.
In addition, the women also added cassava dug up in the wild, Yang Shubao felt that this combination was not very good, but this was not his treat, he was only responsible for eating, so he couldn't talk too much.
The chief waved his arms to finish his speech, and the last movement was to point to Yang Shubao and the others, and Kurutantan next to him translated: "He is calling on everyone to thank us, and we are going to get up and salute in return." ”
"How do you return the gift?"
Kurutantan said, "You salute or bow and return the salute in the manner of your people. ”
Sure enough, all the tribesmen stood up and put their right hands on their left shoulders, then turned around and bowed, and hundreds of thousands of buttocks were aimed at them, the scale was very large, and the momentum was terrifying.
When they turned back, Yang Shubao saluted them, which would be a pity that there was no national flag, otherwise he would have waved the red flag ironclad more exemplary.
After thanking each other, the next step is to eat and drink.
The chief himself entertained them, raised his horn glass, and said, "Distinguished guests, let us drink this wine together, and thank you for the friendship you have sent from afar, and the Timites are grateful." ”
Yang Shubao raised his glass and drank it.
The taste of fig wine is not bad, with a little sweet and sour, and the alcohol content should not be high, it can be regarded as fruit wine.
Someone gave them roasted game, first sent two roast hares, two roast wild ducks, African wild ducks are quite large, fat and fat, after roasting, the duck skin is peeled off, the duck meat inside is golden in color, fragrant.
The chief first tore off a duck leg, and the other duck leg belonged to Yang Shubao, and the others shared the duck meat.
They chatted about life, the Timit people were not as closed as Yang Shubao thought, the chiefs and elders were happy to hear what the outside world was like, they asked Yang Shubao to take out his mobile phone and start chatting from the mobile phone.
During the exchange, Yang Shubao found that the chiefs and elders had experience of living in the outside world, and he asked, "Since you are not disgusted with the outside world, why don't you integrate into modern society?"
Chief Gudaguda smiled: "No, we can't fit in, we sent people out to try, people outside like to bully us." ”
"If only a small group of you go out, you will be bullied, but if you move out as a whole tribe en masse......"
Guda Guda shook his head: "That's a rebellion, that's even worse." ”
"We live well here, we live and work in peace, there are no disputes, we don't hurt each other, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends come together, which is the best way for us Timit people," Gucha added. ”
Yang Shubao respects their outlook on life and continues to introduce them to the changes in the outside world.
Slowly, he mentions his sanctuary and introduces the animals in the sanctuary.
The Timmites have the same concept as the San people: "Why don't you protect humans? Why don't you protect a lot of people who are bullied and killed in the outside world?"
Yang Shubao smiled bitterly: "Of course, human beings are also protected, which is written into the Constitution and the Criminal Law. ”
"But there was no one to protect us. An elder shook his head.
Yang Shubao said: "If you enter the society and do not live in such a hidden area, you will also be protected. And not all animals will be protected, only some wild animals will be protected. ”
At this point, he glanced at the rhinoceros still roaming by the river and said, "For example, your rhinoceros is also a protective animal. ”
The chiefs and elders laughed: "The rhinoceros is a friend of mankind and should be protected. ”
This is the first time Yang Shubao has heard this statement.
Speaking of friends, Kurutantan helped Yang Shubao pave the way: "Mr. Yang is also a good friend of our San and Timit people, he not only sent back the warriors of the tribe, but also fought against the bad people who enslaved the warriors, we should raise a glass to him." ”
Everyone was invited to raise their glasses, and the chief drank and said, "You have indeed done us a great favor, Mr. Yang, we have to repay you, there are many women here tonight, you can sleep with whichever one you like, and you can sleep with a few that you like." And Kurutantan and Mr. Benson, you can. ”
Benson was pleasantly surprised: "Is it okay?
Yang Shubao was stunned: "What? No, no, no, I can't, I can't." ”
The chief asked, "Why not, is it because our women are too ugly?"
Yang Shubao looked back at the piles of little black people, and his scalp was numb: "No, our nation is not allowed to have relations with foreigners casually." If you really want to thank me, I want you to allow me to take the rhinoceros instead of the girl. ”
The chief and the others were shocked: "Rhinoceros, how are you?"
