"Does he know English?" Hong Tao reacted at this time, and changed to communicate with Thomas in Chinese, can't a small chief in the interior of South Africa still understand Chinese. ??? ? A look at the book ??· ｙ Ｋ?Ａ?ＮＳＨＵ·ＣＯＭ

"This was a former British colony and protectorate, and the elderly tribal leaders could speak English more or less, but most of them could not speak it well. Let's go, let's go buy cattle, they don't charge currency. ”

Thomas also changed to Chinese, but only said the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence was changed to English. Because Rayaya heard the two people communicating in a foreign language, her eyes were not very friendly.

Where to buy the cows? There was no need for Hong Tao and Thomas to worry about it, Rayaya sent a meat ball into the car, and then drove east with a smoke under her guidance.

This meat ball is Rayaya's little wife, he has a total of three wives, all of them are meat balls. The Zulu people still maintain their own living habits, women regard fat as beauty, practice polygamy, as long as you can afford to marry and raise, you can have as many wives as you want.

What if you marry and don't raise you well? It's easy to do, someone else will come to steal your wife, as long as he pays more than you, and your wife is willing to follow him, and your wife will become someone else's wife. This is legal and protected by Zulu law, which is not allowed to be repaid.

Of course, you can also use more bride price and richer food to steal the original wife back, and there is no limit to the number of times this thing can come and go.

What is the bride price? It is a cow! Whoever has more cattle is rich, and the wife is not considered family property, only the son and the ox are counted, and in this respect the Zulu and the Maasai in the north have similar customs. One Reading Book ? ?· ｙ?Ｋ ＡＮＳＨＵ·ＣＯＭ

Hong Tao remembers that he had also been to the village of the Maasai people, but he couldn't figure out which life it was. The Maasai also used cattle as an important family property, and only sons had the right to inherit.

It is estimated that this custom is not only found by the Zulu and Maasai peoples, but also by the indigenous peoples of the entire African continent, with the exception of those in the colonized and assimilated areas.

After driving left and right along the valley, and after more than two hours, Hong Tao saw the real Zulu village and Zulu people. If it weren't for the obvious difference between the clothing and the Maasai people, Hong Tao would have thought that he was back in the Ethiopian highlands.

The basic virtue of the Zulu house and the Maasai is that it is a frame made of tree branches, covered with mud, but the appearance is slightly different, like a steel helmet fastened to the ground.

The Zulu people also don't have the traditional Maasai costume, T-shirts, shorts, jeans, shirtless, everything, and some people wrap a sheet around their bodies. And their body type is very different from the Maasai people, there are many fat people, especially women, two words, fat woman, the older you are, the more fat you are.

"Are all the women who don't wear shirts unmarried?" Seeing a car coming, all the men, women and children of the village gathered at the entrance of the village, intending to see where the divine came.

Hong Tao saw several women in the crowd who did not wear shirts, and from what he knew about the Maasai people, those who did not wear shirts were all unmarried young women. The reality is indeed like this, those shirtless women are not very old, and they have bald heads.

"They are virgins, and here they have to control your underneath, and the Zulu people take chastity very seriously, and they have to check it once a month. Whoever takes away their virginity will marry them or die. "Thomas's impression of Hong Tao is probably not very positive, and when he talks about women, he immediately thinks of a very, very critical question.

"Don't worry, I don't want to stick it upside down, I'm more loyal than the Pope here. There is no need for Thomas to tell him about this, Hong Tao didn't want to try it at all, and his body didn't even react after seeing those girls who didn't wear tops.

To put it mildly, seeing them is no different from seeing animals, and I can't raise any interest. Are there any beautiful black girls? There must be, and there are many. Unfortunately, the good ones are concentrated in the North African generation, or mixed with other races for several generations, and the pure Central and Southern African women are really, really not in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese.

It is said that the British army did a lot of scourge of local black girls here back then, Hong Tao couldn't figure it out, this has to be a man to be so picky, and he can really do it, it's too beastly!

Hong Tao said so, and did so, he didn't even get out of the car, he didn't go to comfort the public, he just sat in the car and watched Thomas and the meat ball go to negotiate and pay with the locals, and then drove back to the suburbs of Dyrebrand, where he lived in the courtyard of Rayaya's house.

This is more than a week, the days are very difficult, and every day except for watching a football game with Rayaya, I basically don't dare to go out and wander around. Thirty cows can kill a person, and those who can afford this price can grab a handful. In case someone else also uses cattle in exchange for their own lives, Hong Tao calculated, counting all the cattle in Australia, it doesn't seem to be worth it.

On the tenth day, a broken truck drove into Raiyaya's house, stuffed with wool and mohair, and three black boys who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old at most got out of the car, each carrying a new AK47 with eighty percent on his back. If it weren't for Rayaya who went out to greet them quickly, Hong Tao would have flown through the back window.

"Thomas, you ......" Whoever went out with Rayaya was Thomas, who did not go to greet the three young men, but drove into the car and ran away, so fast that Hong Tao did not have time to react.

Without Thomas's translation, Hong Tao could only negotiate with Rayaya on his own. The three young men had already pulled out a hooded man from the wool roll, who was stepping on the ground with his feet, and pointing a gun at him, babbling something in his mouth, and his expression was a little impatient.

"I'm sure, that's right. Hong Tao probably understood what they meant, he was waiting for himself to inspect the goods. It's really exquisite, and the door-to-door delivery has to be unpacked and inspected in person, which is better than the service of SF Express.

In fact, without taking off the cloth bag, Hong Tao had already confirmed a few points, and his dress had obvious Asian characteristics. Lifting the cloth bag and glancing in, it was the majestic Director Li back then. It's really feng shui in turns, and at present, Director Li is in Hexi, not only is he tied up like a zongzi, but he also has a large ball of wool stuffed in his mouth, how embarrassed and embarrassed he is.

Hearing Hong Tao's approval, the three young men were very happy, shook Hong Tao one by one with the hands they had just held the gun, and then drove into the truck and ran away again, still singing their songs.

Why are you so happy, Hong Tao has roughly figured it out these days, and the cow is in hand. These cows allow them to marry at least two wives each, of course, they probably won't marry two at once, and if you can afford to marry, you have to be able to afford it, otherwise it will be stolen by others.
