Chapter 1162: The Red Nation

With the addition of the Paris sisters, Hong Tao is even more worry-free, although the sisters are very rebellious, but they like children very much, especially their leadership temperament and endless makeup and dressing skills, which quickly captured the hearts of all girls. Even though they are only a few years old, they already know the pursuit of beauty, and within a few days, they have become the backbone of the girls, second only to Hong Tao and far more than Lada.

As for his relationship with Paris, he broke through the relationship with ordinary friends that night, and for a girl who meets her aesthetic requirements and does not resist, Hong Tao basically has no control. If it weren't for the fact that Paris was not yet 18 years old on the sailboat, Hong Tao would have eaten her a long time ago, which is much more enjoyable than the impostor Hillary, which is true! Just like the time when he interacted with the flower butterfly, the physical enjoyment was put aside, and the main thing was that the psychological satisfaction was stronger.

In fact, according to the laws of various states in the United States, girls can get married when they are 16 years old, and even 15 years old. However, there is a question of whether a girl subjectively agrees or disagrees, Hong Tao does not plan to take this risk, or wait until he is 18 years old to be safer. So in the face of Nikki's teasing, he refused to corrode and never touched, she couldn't run away anyway, and it wouldn't be too late to eat it in another two years.

But the plan can never catch up with the change, and at the last stop of this summer camp, Hong Tao still didn't control his **, or the environment was too easy to produce primitive**, so that he and Nikki's first time was actually completed on the edge of the wild cows. At that time, Nikki had nothing but a layer of oily red mud on her body, and only a few silver rings on her left leg, if you didn't look at the color of her eyes. She is 100% a local black girl, and she only needs a big black cow to get one back.

Speaking of the experience. Not only does Hong Tao feel like he is dreaming, but everyone in the team, including the children, will also remember it for life. When they returned to Port Lobito from the Great Rift Valley. It's the end of July, and according to the original schedule, at most one stop in Namibia or South Africa will have to return to Pyramid Island to end this summer camp. However, Hong Tao got a more interested information from an informant in South Africa, and as a result, he changed his original plan. This informant married a Himba girl as his wife in South Africa, and he followed his wife back to the Himba tribe once, and felt very peculiar, so he suggested that Hong Tao also go to see it, and he could also ask the tribe his wife knew to provide some help.

After confirming that it was safe to do so, Hong Tao was guided by a local guide with curiosity. It travels 600 kilometres south from Port Lobito, crossing the border between Angola and Namibia, crossing the Kunene River and entering a semi-desert, semi-grassland area. The climate here is very dry, there is not much rain, and the temperature is quite high, a bit of a Sahara desert feeling, and a bit of a savannah dry season. But there's a very, very significant difference between this and the rest of Africa, as long as you don't have to be blind. That's red. The land and sand dunes here are all red, and from a distance it looks like a vast expanse of red brick foam, and the mysterious Himba people mentioned by the informant live here.

Himba. A group of black Africans, who have lived for generations in this barren land called the African Red Desert, is a half-farming and half-pastoral people. It is said that one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people. This red land also nurtured the red people of the Himba people. That's right, Hong Tao hasn't gotten out of the car yet. And I found that the people who came out of the village were all little red men! Not only were their skin red, but their hair was red! And none of them wore clothes. They were all women and children, only wearing a leather apron more than a bundle wide around their waists, similar in size to Wukong's tiger skin skirt, which couldn't cover anything, and there were no shoes on their feet, just a lot of metal rings on their ankles.

At this time, it was obvious who was bold, Hong Tao and Paris sisters were the first to walk over to greet them, only Vanessa and Hong Shan dared to follow the children, and the rest looked at these red people who were not wearing clothes and could not cry It was already very face-saving. Simba people don't speak English, and Hong Tao definitely doesn't know Simba here, even the guide doesn't understand, everyone can only rely on gestures to communicate. At this time, Hong Tao finally understood that they were not red people, but they just smeared a layer of red on their bodies, and it was not clear what it was, anyway, there were a few children who didn't wipe it, and their complexion was still black, but not the black of pure blacks in West Africa.

When you go to someone's house, you naturally want to bring some gifts, and before you come, the guide also mentioned a few gifts that the Simba people like, such as sugar, tobacco, cream and other foods. Clothing and electrical appliances mean nothing to them, the Simba people don't wear clothes, and there is no electricity in the village. But it is not these foods that the Simba people like the most, but the cattle, which are dressed in pure black for the best.

Hong Tao is a particular person, since he goes to other people's villages to disturb, it must be a generous gift, mainly because there are too many people who come by himself, and it is not appropriate to just send some sugar and cream. So Hong Tao asked the guide to buy 3 big cows and 3 calves in the local area, all black, with a single miscellaneous hair and no money, and hired a truck to follow behind to pull 6 cows.

Seeing these cows, this small Simba village immediately boiled, more women and children came out of those conical shacks, and the convoy around Hong Tao was singing and dancing, which was a bit of a welcome for the People's Liberation Army to enter the city. The Himba people are not very tall, their small shacks are even shorter, and there are not many of them, just a dozen, and they are not enough to seat nearly 60 people in the convoy. Hong Tao gestured to tell the Simba women that they would not enter the village, and that they could set up a few tents at the edge of the village to make do.

As a result, it was still a misunderstanding, and the just gestures made the Simba people think that Hong Tao wanted a shack of their own, and they didn't say anything, and more than half of the people dispersed at once, leaving only a few women with petal-like ornaments on their heads to accompany Hong Tao and they continued to compare. But in the evening, Hong Tao finally knew what their people were doing, and they spent a whole day building three small shacks next to the village, which were specially for Hong Tao and them to live in.

Originally, Hong Tao didn't plan to stay here for a long time, just come and see, but when he met such an enthusiastic owner, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to pat his ass and leave, so let's live for a day! This shack is too simple, it is a wall tied up with dry branches, the outside is covered with a layer of mud, the roof is full of hay, if you look closely, you can see the starry sky, the ground is sandy land, and there is a whole cowhide on it, and then there is nothing, people are really not fooling themselves, the houses in the village are basically this specification, this is the home of the Simba people.

The children must not live in the shack, and they are afraid of poisonous insects, poisonous scorpions, poisonous snakes and other things, so they can only pull the adults in the convoy to live, 3 people in a shack, and the rest is to take care of the children in the car. got 3 houses for no reason, Hong Tao didn't dare to trouble the master to prepare dinner, if you get a nest of rat meat or something, it's not suitable for you not to eat it, you will eat it yourself, the children are really choking. So Hong Tao went to the village to compare with the Simba women, and finally pulled them out one by one, pressed them on the carpet under the big tent set up by his convoy, and invited them to eat in the whole village!

In the evening, after eating and drinking, the Simba women light a large bonfire at the entrance of the village and begin to sing and dance around the fire, which is their only entertainment. A curious and thick-skinned person like Hong Tao danced with them. Slowly, the brave children will join in, tossing for more than two hours, waiting for the fire to slowly become smaller, and then disperse to sleep. Although there are not as many mosquitoes here as there are in Tanzania, there are mosquito nets, because it is not easy to hang in the small shack, there is a slight gap, and two mosquitoes come in, which is enough for Hongtao to fight for half an hour.

finally stayed up until dawn, Hong Tao stared at a pair of dark circles under his eyes and had to get up and continue to do yoga exercises with the children. Originally, he thought that he had gotten up early, and he was afraid that it would affect the sleep of the people in Simba's village, but when he came out, he found that the cattle in the village were gone, and all the Simba women and children were busy at the edge of the village. This is sad Hongtao, you say you don't let people build it, you don't understand, let people build it, you still have to sleep outside, if you really build a few more shacks, then the children have to come out to sleep.

After breakfast, the informant's wife rushed over from South Africa, and now there was finally someone to communicate with. However, the result of communication is similar to no communication, the reason is that the 6 cows are too expensive. Only a cow was given to the daughter-in-law here, and dozens of people in the village had saved for a lifetime, and there were only more than ten cows in total.

In addition, there is another problem that Hong Tao caused himself. The Himba people are polygamous and have a bit of matriarchal rules. They are all a family and a village, and men can marry daughters-in-law without limit, and they can marry as many daughters-in-law as there are big black bulls, and of course the more children, the better. There are many cows, many daughters-in-law, and many children, this is the rich and handsome in the eyes of the Simba people, and Hong Tao just meets these conditions. So the Simba people thought that Hong Tao was leading the people to migrate here, and planned to settle here, and these houses were gifts from the villagers to the Hong Tao family, and they were kindly invited to live and settle on the edge of the village, and the two villages were next to each other.
