Xiao Peng hung up the phone and saw Yang Meng looking at him dumbfounded.

"Why do you think of me like that?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Yang Meng said indignantly: "Dude, where are we going tomorrow? I sound like South Africa, right?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Yes! It's South Africa!"

Yang Meng hurriedly said: "Let's not go to see sharks? Even if you don't look at sharks, haven't you found a corundum gem mine?"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "What did I give up, give up? ”

Yang Meng looked left and right: "What about the gem?"

Xiao Pengle said: "I'm hiding, it's not a big mine." Don't worry, buddy is the kind of goose plucking, can I let go of the good things?"

Yang Meng continued to ask: "Then what about the sharks we said we would like?"

"Don't worry, there are more sharks in South Africa!" Xiao Peng smiled.

Yang Meng frowned: "What the hell is that Kevin Richardson doing?

Xiao Peng smiled: "Didn't you say that I was a great druid? Then he is another great druid!"

"What's that?" Yang Meng's eyes widened: "Is there really a great druid in Nima now?"

Xiao Peng said: "I'm kidding you! This Kevin Richardson is a native of South Africa, nicknamed 'The Lion Whisperer', and is a man who has a wonderful bond with lions. Eat with a lion, play with a lion, sleep with a lion, and the lion just won't eat him. ”

Yang Meng was stunned: "There is still such a god, where is he now?"

"In Johannesburg, he has a 'Kevin Richardson' lion reserve there. To be honest, I really don't want to go to South Africa. After Xiao Peng finished speaking, he put the food in his hand aside and shouted: "Rafa! Drive us to the city of Murondawa to have a look! Let's go buy some souvenirs or something!"

Rafa was very disappointed to know that the two were leaving, but he still dutifully drove the two to the city of Murondava.

"Mr. Xiao, why do you want to leave all of a sudden? Didn't you say you were going to Bey Island? It is the most beautiful place in the whole of Madagascar! It's a pity that you don't go there. Rafa also tried to persuade the two to stay.

Yang Meng nodded: "That's it, there is a big shark there, this is too sudden." ”

After hearing this, Rafa hurriedly said: "That's right, Mr. Xiao, you should go to Bei Island to have a look, where the island is beautiful, the sea is beautiful, and the animals are beautiful." I won't regret going there, it's much better than Muron Dawa!"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "I've heard of it, and I've heard that it's the most expensive place in the whole of Madagascar." ”

Rafa was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Yes, it has been occupied by the Biga Pears and the Gauls. But given Mr. Xiao's financial resources, that was not a problem at all. ”

Xiao Peng said: "Rafa, I really have an urgent matter this time, if I have the opportunity, I will come here." After all, it's a beautiful place. ”

Rafa smiled bitterly: "Beautiful, Mr. Xiao, you won't say that after you live here." I don't know anywhere else, but this Murondawa should be different from what you imagined. ”

Xiao Peng didn't understand the meaning of Rafa, after arriving at Murondawa, he felt that this place was very good, after all, it was a tourist city, wasn't it?

The architecture here is the same as that of the capital Antananarivo, with a strong European flair, which is also a historical legacy. At first glance, it looks very beautiful.

But it can only be said that at first glance, if you look closely, you can't stand it.

Rafa drove unusually carefully, Xiao Peng didn't understand why at first, there was no one on this big road, why were you so nervous?

Rafa explained: "People stole it and sold it. ”

Xiao Peng scratched his head, how similar this was to Huaxia a few decades ago. Poverty is the root of crime!

Rafa said: "Mr. Xiao, you and Mr. Yang should pay attention to your wallets, there are many thieves here." And the security at night is very poor, and at night, there is no one on the street. If you are the only one on the street at night, with your skin color, it will definitely make people rob. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "The police don't care about this?"

Rafa laughed: "In the black cities of the whole of Africa, almost all of them are like this, even if they call the police, they will not care about such a trivial matter." 'Robbing' is a culture in Africa, and to this day, so many wars in Africa are based on this culture. Although the laws of the entire African countries were formulated by Western countries in those years and are very perfect, whether they are implemented or not is another issue. ”

Rafa's destination with Xiao Peng and his family is Murondava Central Park, which sounds like a big name, but it is actually not very big, with an artificial lake in the middle, a forest green belt on the side, and it is also a place where small traders and vendors gather, selling all kinds of souvenirs, food, and so on.

As a result, before they got to the place, several people were pointed down by the police, saying that Rafa was speeding!

Xiao Peng was dumbfounded, how could he drive fast when he was hiding from the sewer wellhead all the way? Twenty-five kilometers per hour would be good! But there was no way, the police said that speeding was speeding!

Rafa was not nervous, he took out a box of cool oil in his pocket and stuffed it into the black policeman's hand, yes, let it go immediately!

When they arrived at Central Park, before the cars had been parked, a black policeman came and said that it was illegal parking, even though a large 'P' sign was next to the parking place.

Yes, it's another bottle of cool oil, love to stop for as long as you want.

During Xiao Peng's time in Madagascar, such a thing is no longer strange!

As soon as they got out of the car and were about to enter Central Park, they heard the sound of a group of people singing.

"Ah, is this someone married?" Xiao Peng asked puzzled.

Yang Meng simply twisted up: "Hey, this music is quite emotional!"

Rafa coughed dryly twice and grabbed Yang Meng: "That's a native of Imerina." ”

Yang Meng didn't understand what Rafa said, and Xiao Peng didn't understand what he meant. Rafa explained, "This is the festival of the Imelina, called the Day of the Turning of the Dead, Mr. Xiao, you are lucky to be able to see this celebration, and now this ceremony is becoming less and less. ”

"Imerina, the Corpse Day?" Xiao Peng was a little stunned.

Rafa explains: "The Imelina are the highest caste of Madagascar, the original royal family, and Madagascar has been under the rule of the Imelinians from the establishment of the Kingdom of Imelina at the end of the 16th century to the unification of the island in the 19th century. It was not until the latter that they became colonies of Gaul, but this caste was always the surname of the nobility in Madagascar. ”

"Are there still nobles in Madagascar now?" Xiao Peng asked.

Rafa shook his head: "Now the economic lifeline of Madagascar is basically in the hands of the descendants of India and Pakistan and the Chinese, and the royal status of the Imelina people has long been less noble in modern society. Now many Imerina people can't even eat enough, who still thinks of sacrificing their ancestors?"

"What's that, you say this is a sacrifice to the ancestors?" Yang Meng was stunned.

Rafa pointed to the crowd: "Do you see the white stretchers that those people are carrying? That's the bones of their ancestors, and every few years, the Imelina dig up the bones of their ancestors from the cemetery, wash and wrap them again, and then carry them through the streets, play and bury them back." In our culture, the soul of the deceased can dominate the blessings and misfortunes of future generations, and if the corpses of ancestors are not turned over on time, it is a great shame and will be ridiculed by others. ”

Xiao Peng took a deep breath: "I listened to the numbness of the scalp and goosebumps all over my body, this tradition is completely different from our Chinese culture, if it is left in my hometown, it is a big rebellion." Since ancient times, in China, 'digging ancestral graves', so that the old people can not rest in peace, that is the biggest evil!"

Rafa shrugged: "The culture is different, but Mr. Xiao, you are really lucky." Corpse turning ceremonies are not common these days. ”

"What's so important about this? Isn't it over after singing it for a while?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Rafa smiled and explained: "How can it be so simple? Do you see the old man in front of you? That is the patriarch of their family, and if you want to hold a corpse turning ceremony, you must pay a lot of money to hire the most respected patriarch! And this ceremony can only be attended by Imelna, and people of the lower castes are absolutely not allowed to intervene! Before the ceremony, the ceremony is to be held, the ox is killed, singing and dancing are organized, the patriarch personally opens the coffin, cleans the bones, and then selects the most beautiful CHU woman recognized by the tribe to bathe and wait for the ceremony. ”

"On the day of the ceremony, the girl sits on the top of the mountain to greet the sunrise, and the washed bones are placed on the girl's lap to be exposed to the sun, and after the sun is finished, the bones are wrapped and carried through the streets, and then buried back in the evening, and then the cow is slaughtered and sung in celebration. In other words, at least two cows must be slaughtered for a corpse turning ceremony, and of course, two cows are not enough in general! And in Madagascar, girls are getting married too early, and CHU women over the age of 14 are rare. So this corpse turning ceremony is becoming more and more rare. ”

Xiao Peng was a little puzzled, and pointed to the singing and dancing team and said, "Then why do they still hold this ceremony?"

Rafa shrugged: "No matter how poor the country is, there are rich people, isn't it? Not all Imerina people can't eat, they do this, on the one hand, to respect their ancestors, on the other hand, to show their identity, after all, I said, this corpse ceremony is not allowed to participate in anyone except the Imerina, at least in their own eyes, they are all nobles." Look at this procession, how many skeletons are carried? How many people have come? That means that the family that is holding this corpse turning ceremony is definitely a wealthy family! How many cows are going to be slaughtered!"

Xiao Peng understands this, this is to advertise his family while paying tribute to his ancestors. Looking at the young men and women around him, looking at the men and women in the procession of turning the corpses, the eyes changed.

It's understandable to think about it, this is a young man and woman in a big family, they must be unmarried men and women.

The lively team of singing and dancing passed by, Xiao Peng looked at those who were carrying the bones and singing, Xiao Peng only scratched his head, although he knew that this was their tradition, but Xiao Peng still couldn't accept it, and felt panicked in his heart.

"Let's go, let's go shopping!" Xiao Peng turned his head, only to see a small black hand about to reach for his pocket. Xiao Peng turned his head and happened to look at the owner of the little black hand.

It was a child, and he looked like he wasn't even ten years old. Seeing Xiao Peng's behavior of stealing something, he didn't feel ashamed, and grinned at Xiao Peng. Whistle and leave.

Xiao Peng sighed, such a young child should still be a child who goes to school, but it turns out that it is good here, and he has already come out and started petty theft.

Xiao Peng took out a cool oil from his pocket and was about to stop the black boy, but Rafa looked at it and directly reached out to stop him.

Xiao Peng didn't understand what Rafa meant, but Rafa pointed in a direction not far away, Xiao Peng looked, good guy, there are at least a dozen such children there, and adults are staring at him there.

"Mr. Xiao, I know you are kind, but this is really not the time to show kindness, if you give this one, you will be entangled by this group of people. You don't have to do anything today. Rafa explained.

Xiao Peng thought about it, isn't this what Huaxia often says, 'not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness'? Thinking about Rafa's words, Xiao Peng nodded, and several people walked into Central Park.

Rafa stretched out his hand and introduced: "After the artificial lake in front, there is the bazaar." As a result, Rafa was also embarrassed when he stretched out his hand.

Xiao Peng and the others looked at his fingers, they were also embarrassed------ direction that Rafa was pointing, a woman was squatting there to poop, and it was a large size! Not far away, there was also a black corn that was urinating in the lake unscrupulously.

Rafa sighed, "As I said when I came, Murondava is not what you imagined. ”

After Xiao Peng heard this, they nodded to Rafa together.

Such a beautiful Central Park, such a beautiful artificial lake, is actually a public toilet in everyone's eyes?

This is still a tourist city, what if those non-tourist attractions will happen? Xiao Peng really can't imagine.

Rafa should also feel blushing (too dark to see): "That, Mr. Xiao, this is our African characteristic, our life is more casual!"

What else can Xiao Peng say? I can only nod, buy things early, go to South Africa early------ another country that has been played bad by the black silk!
