526.War Rhino (May the Great Motherland Prosper)
Guda Guda took a detailed look at the situation and respected Yang Shubao even more.
The Timit warriors were captured in pursuit of poachers and then taken abroad to be sold as slaves, and by chance, they were eventually sent back to South Africa.
The main reason is that there is a language barrier, and the poachers also cheated in the process of selling, and it is estimated that they say that these people were caught from the Central African region.
There are still a large number of unknown indigenous tribes in central Africa, which is still full of ignorance, backwardness, poverty and crime, and the slave trade, which seems to be a criminal act that has been thrown into the torrent of history in the eyes of the civilized world, still exists, but now it exists in the underground world in a low-key way.
Yang Shubao also respects the Timit people, according to his contact with the Eighth group, these people are always silent and honest, not at all perverse.
But when poachers come to attack, they not only put up a strong resistance, but even send a team to chase and kill after repelling their attacks, which shows their bloody nature and fierceness is really worthy of their thousands of years of bloodline.
Unfortunately, the indigenous tribes are so vulnerable to modern weapons that most of the warriors they sent out to hunt down the poachers will not return.
The women who sat on the ground and wept were the mothers of the warriors who did not return.
The Timit people only know their mothers but not their fathers, and they still practice a primitive free pairing mode internally, and men and women can go to Wushan together as long as they look at each other.
Because the people of the tribe are all supported by the tribe, they don't care who the child is born, but because they are not sure about the child's bloodline, the men will feed them as their own children and be more friendly to the children.
Kurutantan had already introduced him to the fact that among the Timit men, the men domesticated the war rhino and went out hunting, while the women fed the war rhino and gathered wild fruits and vegetables such as figs, and the division of labor between men and women was orderly.
In order to celebrate the return of fifteen outcast warriors, and to welcome the arrival of Yang Shubao and others, the tribe held a celebratory dinner.
The men continued to hunt, while the women gathered the wine and meat and prepared the feast.
Yang Shubao had nothing to do, so Guda Guda arranged Gu Cha to be a tour guide and take him on a tour of the tribe.
The Timite tribe is an orthodox indigenous tribe, but their leaders are definitely in good contact with the outside world, and the tribe construction is clearly planned, so whether it is a tree house or a thatched house, it is arranged in an orderly manner.
The thatched huts have toilets, which are built downstream of the river, and the excrement flows directly with the river.
Yang Shubao watched their river, and Gu Cha said with a smile: "We take water from the upstream, bathe and clean up in the midstream, and use it to deal with dirty things downstream, so the hygiene of our tribe is maintained well." ”
"Yang Shubao is an expert in drinking water, and he has been volunteering to promote clean drinking water, and he has provided clean water equipment for our tribe and some Zulu tribes at a near-free cost," Kurutantan said. ”
Hearing this, Gu Cha was even more awe-struck, and he put his right hand on his left shoulder and said, "It turns out that Mr. Yang is not only a good person with enthusiasm, but also a wizard with a heart for the common people, may the God of Ten Thousand Beasts bless you." ”
Yang Shubao waved his hand in a low-key manner and said, "I just did a little thing, which is not commendable, but does your tribe need this kind of water purification equipment? ”
Gu Cha shook his head and said, "We don't need these things very much, because the water in our river is very clear. ”
"What if somebody builds a factory further up the river, or they want to deal with you by throwing some dead and rotting animals into the river, so that you can drink bacteria and viruses and make you sick," Yang said. ”
Gu Cha hesitated: "This, if there is such a thing, well, I don't think there will be a factory built upstream, this is a complete wilderness, and it will not be developed." But throwing rotting animals into the river, well, I'll admit it's going to be more of a hassle. ”
Yang Shubao said: "I will teach you to build this earthen kiln and tell you how to fire this water purification equipment, in fact, we will carry some of it in the car, and I will send you a sample when the time comes." ”
Gu Cha solemnly thanked him.
As they spoke, they walked to the river, where a rhinoceros approached them.
Yang Shubao had seen these rhinoceros when he entered the village just now, and he didn't feel anything when he was far away, but at this time, the rhinoceros was coming, and its huge body moved like a small mountain......
Yang Shubao gasped: "Damn, why is this rhinoceros so big?"
"This rhinoceros is big enough, much bigger than the ones in your reserve, and by the way, when I first came into contact with the Timites, they said that the rhinos in your reserve are very small. ”
The rhinoceros in the reserve is not small, the largest weighs three tons, after all, it is a land giant.
But this rhinoceros is undoubtedly bigger, Yang Shubao estimates that it must weigh four tons, and the big long horn on the top of the head looks even more exaggerated than his body length, and Lao Yang is already one meter eight!
The rhinoceros horn of the white rhinoceros is indeed relatively long, but Yang Shubao remembered that he had read the information before, and this horn was at most more than one and a half meters, not exaggerated to one meter eight.
He walked up to look at the rhinoceros horn up close, and Gu Cha was shocked: "Be careful, sir, this is a war rhino, a fierce war rhino ......"
The rhinoceros lowered its head and raised its horns at Yang Shubao, making a gesture of preparing for an attack.
Gu Cha hurriedly shouted: "Holo Horo......"
The rhinoceros shook its head and raised its horns, but instead of attacking Yang Shubao, it used the bottom end of its long horns to rub Yang Shubao.
Gu Cha was stunned for a moment.
The rhinoceros expresses hostility in a similar way to friendship, except that one uses its horns to push against its opponent and the other rubs its horns against each other.
Yang Shubao stroked the long horn of this big rhinoceros and warmed his hands.
It was the first time he had touched a long rhinoceros horn, and all of his rhinos had no horns except for one that had slipped through the net.
He stroked the rhinoceros horn and exclaimed, "Why is its horn so long? Oh my God, it has to be one meter seven or eight, right?"
Gu Cha was even more amazed: "How can you get close to the war rhinos we trained? Although these rhinoceros are relatively docile and gentle in nature, they have been trained and are not allowed to be touched by strangers. ”
Yang Shubao said with a smile: "Maybe my face has been scalded by boiling water, and anyone who sees it will feel familiar." ”
Gu Cha couldn't understand this Chinese stalk, and he said suspiciously: "This is really weird." ”
Kurutantan also asked, "Why do your rhinoceros grow so majestic? Their horns are so long, and the rhinos we have seen in the wild do not have such big heads and such long horns." ”
Gu Cha smiled proudly: "Because this is the war beast that we spent a lot of effort to feed, our ancestors relied on them to defend against foreign enemies in the past, of course, they had to be strong and mighty." ”
