The benefits of strangers are all things that need to be vigilant, and the African natives also know this truth, and the indigenous leaders first called out to the people around them, as if to make them careful and vigilant, and the people around them immediately became alert, and some of the natives who were eager to try it also stopped the steps of dressing.

I was very angry about this, and I also recognized the prestige of the indigenous leaders among this group, and I motioned for the spring spirit to do a good job of translating, and said unhurriedly: " Friends, don't get me wrong, we are here, one is to make friends, the other is to do business, there is no malice, the clothes in everyone's hands are our best gifts, the shirt can protect from the sun during the day, to avoid you being burned by the sun when you travel shirtless, at night to keep out the cold, to avoid you from getting cold in the wilderness, and the material of the shirt is cotton, it is very comfortable to wear, you touch this fabric with your hands, does it feel particularly good?" I said, Quan Ling translated it over and over again.

The natives around me were gradually moved by my words, I guess that in their worldview, there is no pure word for business, and the way of expressing emotions is direct and sincere, and sometimes commercial exaggeration may have an unexpectedly good impression in their hearts, although my words are not gorgeous, but they also really say the characteristics and selling points of the goods, which is undoubtedly tempting for the natives who are relatively scarce.

I noticed that the leader with a somewhat serious expression showed a hesitant look in his eyes, and he was a little impressed, and after a long time, he spoke. Quan Ling said to me: "Our tribe has our own beliefs, and the tattoos on our bodies symbolize the power given by our ancestors, and if we wear your clothes, we can't see anything on our bodies, which means that we have lost the blessing of our ancestors, which is disrespectful to our ancestors." ”

I thought to myself, "Are you afraid that others will not see the tattoos on your body, and that others will not respect you?" ”

Although he thought so in his heart, he still said on his face: "We have a saying in China that 'wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha keeps it in his heart.'" It means that in ancient China, there was a kind of person who needed to keep the precepts for the sake of faith, and he could not drink wine or eat meat, and wine was a liquid that could be drunk like water, and drinking it could make people excited, but some of these people were informal, and although the precepts did not allow it, they retained respect for the precepts in their hearts. This is the same as our current situation, you are not disrespectful to your ancestors when you put on clothes, as long as your heart is loving and fearing your ancestors, having this dress will not affect your feelings of respect, on the contrary, if you just talk about it, then even if you don't wear this clothes, your awe will not be sincere, the focus is on your heart, not on these external things. ”

Seeing the way the indigenous leaders stopped talking, frowning and scratching their heads, I was amused, and with the existing knowledge structure of the indigenous leaders, it seemed that they could not convince me and his people in better terms.

He finally opened his hands, and the people around him cheered, and the spring spirit said, "Welcome, my friends, to our tribe. ”

I was also excited, but I still said, "We're bartering, and after giving you these things in friendship, what will you give us?"

The native head was stunned for a moment, and then took out a huge stone from his waist pocket, and Quan Ling and I both exclaimed, "Oh my God, what a big diamond." The leader threw one to me, and after saying a few words, Quan Ling translated: "He said that he will make a deposit for the time being, and go back to the tribe with us first." "I cheered in my heart, and this two pots of gold seemed to be coming well.
