Chapter 458: Delta
"Tut-tut, this Norton~"
Hearing that the phone was cut off by the other party, Fang Yuanshan smacked his lips, a smile appeared on his face, and then his hand flipped over the satellite phone and disappeared without a trace.
When he thought of the other party's words, Fang Yuanshan's face turned cold again. It's a bit unreasonable for such a behemoth to set up a "small company" to let itself help them transport goods. As for what many forces are staring at, he doesn't believe it at all. If such a giant enterprise wants to say that he doesn't have his own transport guard, Fang Yuanshan cut off his head and used it as a stool for him to sit on.
"But why are they looking for themselves?" Thinking about it, Fang Yuanshan smelled a smell of conspiracy.
"Well, it's better not to play tricks with me, or I'll let you taste it. The vultures in his eyes muttered, and turned to walk towards the town of "Nokaneng" not far away.
In Botswana, the "Kalahari" desert covers 80% of its territory, especially in the last 20 years, the "Okavango" delta has become a hot tourist attraction, and countless tourists have locked their eyes on this scenic spot. The influx of people from all over the world in Africa's last hunters' land has also overcrowded the northern town of Nokanen, with people of all skin tones walking the streets.
Both sides of the road are full of vendors selling everything from masks, African wood carvings, African tambourines, carpets, and of course, diamonds. However, compared to the reputation of Botswana, a diamond kingdom, the diamonds sold by roadside vendors are much smaller, all of them are some broken diamonds, not even a carat.
He wasn't very interested in diamonds, but those masks and wood carvings or something, but Fang Yuanshan was very interested. When he was greeted by a roadside mask vendor. He also squatted down with the foreign tourists to watch.
Most of these masks are in the form of human faces, animals, or a combination of human faces and animals. These facial images are very different. Some only have eye sockets, grinning teeth, extremely terrifying, some eyes are slightly open, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, elegant and skillful, some squint their eyes, seem to be smiling but not smiling, mysterious, after a long time, there is really a feeling as if they are alive, which makes people feel creepy!~
Under the introduction of the vendor in front of him with an awkward English, Fang Yuanshan had a preliminary understanding of these noodles. In the vast land of Africa, there are many tribes, and many tribes have some totems or objects to worship. And these masks were carved according to the image of the deity they fetied.
Yes. It's carving. When he touched it with his hands, he realized that the masks were not plastic, but were all hand-carved from soft wood, which looked very beautiful.
"How much is it?" After speaking, Fang Yuanshan raised a sheep-faced mask in his hand and asked.
The vendor stretched out a hand and shook it, Fang Yuanshan laughed: "50 yuan?"
"5 Pula, if you have a dollar, you can do it, just one dollar. ”
"Ah~ so cheap?"
Botswana's currency is the "pra", and the exchange rate is currently the same as the Chinese dollar, which means that such a beautiful handmade mask is only five yuan, which is less than one dollar in US dollars. This surprised Fang Yuanshan. Thinking that there is a lot of space anyway, I just bought more and kept it for free.
He bought a little bit of all kinds of strange things along the way. Anyway, it was super cheap, and the big bag he was carrying on his back now cost less than a hundred dollars.
stayed in the "most luxurious" three-story hotel in Nokaneng Town, and after arriving at the room, Fang Yuanshan sat on the bed. This small town is not a big place, but the flow of people is quite dense, accommodation is a big problem, many foreign tourists are self-driving, can only live outdoors at night, hotels they simply can't afford to live. For example, Fang Yuanshan's single room with a bathroom costs $500 a night, without counter-offering......
Habitually took out the detector and scanned it in the room, but I didn't expect that except for a false alarm, the detector that never rang, when it scanned a 24-inch color TV on the wall opposite the bed, it suddenly "Didi" sounded~
"Oh, just install a camera in such a broken place?"
Pulled out a pinhole camera from the groove under the TV, Fang Yuanshan was a little speechless for a while, this is really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds......
He didn't bother to go downstairs to the hotel to settle the score, and after carefully checking that there was no problem, he took off the human skin mask attached to his face, and then put all the specialties in the bag into the space, and then took a shower and went to sleep.
I slept until the next morning, and I reached out and wiped my forehead, and when I put it down, it was full of oil stains. Looking out through the window, it was another sunny day. It was already very hot in the early morning, and the old air conditioner above the TV didn't work at all.
"Sure enough, scarcity is expensive! If Bao Dehai's old man knew that I spent $500 a night and stayed in such a shabby hotel, I don't know how I would feel?"
After leaving this strange hotel, I didn't go to breakfast again, and took out milk bread from the space without anyone watching.
At noon, that Xiust sent Fang Yuanshan a set of coordinates and asked his people to go to the dry "Okavango" delta to wait for them.
"Damn, it's a pig, I'll get two off-road vehicles to put in the space next time." ”
Driving a dilapidated motorcycle in the dry delta, he had a depressed face. The scorching sun shone on the human skin mask on his face, and sweat ran down his forehead, making his face behind the mask as uncomfortable as a layer of glue.
His space is so big now, not to mention motorcycles, cars, planes and tanks are no problem with ten or eight. This made Fang Yuanshan feel resentful, and he muttered all the way to his destination, driving for more than two hours to reach his destination.
The Okavango Delta is a lush tropical swamp surrounded by Kalahari desert grasslands and natural beauty. The abundant waters also provide an ideal habitat for ospreys, kingfishers, hippos, crocodiles and tiger fish.
Of course, the most important thing is that it is large enough to cover an area of more than 15,000 square kilometers when it dries up. In the rainy season, it reaches 22,000 square kilometers, which is nearly the size of four Xiahai cities. If you drill into it, you can't do anything about how many people you come.
Standing under a lush acacia tree, watching a waterfowl on the river in the distance pecking at the feathers on his body slowly, suddenly his ears moved, and the sound of an airplane propeller approached him from far and near, he looked up at the sky, a small helicopter hovered in the sky more than ten meters in front of him, and after checking the password with the phone, a huge package was thrown down......
