1023.Rainforest Mines (2/5)

The pork is roasted from the skin to the inside, and although the pork skin is burnt, the pork inside is just cooked.

The leaves used to marinate pork belong to an unknown plant, which retains the perfect aroma of pork.

The roast pork that Li Du ate was very fragrant, it was fragrant, and there was no other feeling, he seemed to have never eaten such fragrant barbecue.

The banana insect sat next to him with great interest, following the people who were dancing around the bonfire, and Li Du asked, "What is this meat grilled with, it's delicious?" ”

Hearing his words, the banana insect smiled happily, and he said with a picture: "Panicha, this is Panicha, give the pig Panicha to eat, Zaiyong Panicha roasted, delicious." ”

Li Du didn't know what Panicha was, this plant is very suitable for use as an ingredient for barbecue, it tastes very good, and can perfectly retain the aroma of meat.

Of course, it may also be that the pigs they raise are usually fed with panicha and improve the quality of pork, and pigs that grow up on natural weeds are definitely better than pigs that grow up on feed.

Although the pygmies are small, a few pigs cannot satisfy their appetite anyway, and they have to cook other food than pork.

Some of the people from the hunting party brought back some bamboo tubes, and they roasted them on the fire, and after a while, they brought them back and opened them, and the aroma of roasted protein came from inside.

Someone handed Li Du a bamboo tube and motioned for him to come and eat it.

Li Du sniffed, a bit like the aroma of fried grasshoppers and fried golden cicadas he had eaten when he was a child, and he asked, "What is this?" ”

While asking, he poured some in his hand, and then saw what was poured out, and he knew what it was.

These are big white ants, and in the bamboo tubes are roasted ants.

The banana insect scratched its head and said, "White? This is Sucharala, delicious. ”

What's so good about roasted ants? Li Du was not very interested in this thing, but it was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and he was not good at acting too distant, so he grabbed some and ate them.

Now it was interesting, and the pygmies became more and more fond of him, and invited him to taste their food.

Their food is very complicated, they have everything, for example, because of the temptation of fire, some moths will fly in, they will be roasted to death by the flames, and someone will immediately pick them up and eat them.

Someone who picked up a moth would not eat it, but kindly handed it to Li Du and asked him to eat it.

Li Du admits defeat: if he doesn't refuse, maybe something will be delivered, anyway, he has already seen someone hang a big bat on the bonfire from nowhere......

Patting his belly, he said that he was full, and then went to pitch the tent with Godzilla and prepare for the night's rest.

Just like they had been with the Khazais in the steppe animal sanctuary, they had a good night's sleep and woke up to see that the local pygmies had woken up early and started preparing breakfast.

Their breakfast was the rest of the night, with men out hunting and women gathering wild fruits first, and then others flocked to grab food.

It was not good and a little gloomy.

Li Du was depressed, he also looked at the weather forecast before going out, saying that the weather would be good in the coming week, at least there would be no spring rain.

But looking at the weather, it's already overcast, and it is estimated that it won't be long before it rains.

He went to find the plantain worm and asked, "Where did you find the diamond?" How far away is it? ”

The plantain worm thought for a moment and said, "Go for a day." ”

When Li Du heard this, the mine was quite far away from the tribe, and they had to leave early to see what was going on, and then get back to the car before the rainstorm.

In the spring and summer months in South Africa, once the rain can easily turn into torrential rain, the rainforest is very dangerous at this time, and it is best to go to the city to take shelter from the rain.

He asked if the plantain worm could leave now, and the banana worm nodded happily, took the crossbow and led them out of the tribe.

Li Du was very embarrassed, the banana worm only returned to the tribe, and he was taken away by him after staying with his family and relatives for less than a day, which is a bit unreasonable.

The banana insect was righteous, he didn't feel like this, took Li Du and the others on the road, and continued to march towards the northwest.

This trip was more convenient, the road they took was the place where the Pygmies stepped out during the hunting, although it was still not as convenient as the artificially developed road, but there was a place to stay.

There weren't as many beasts in the woods as they thought, so it's no wonder that pygmies eat termites, bats, or even what they encounter, it's too difficult to survive.

The group walked in the group, and the banana worm and Brother Wolf went to the front to open the way.

As he walked, the banana insect suddenly stopped and knelt on the ground, Li Du thought that this was some kind of custom, but the banana insect raised his crossbow and shot out at the big tree in front of him.

"Huh", with a crisp sound, the sharp arrow was nailed to the tree.

An earthy yellow snake was struggling, and the plantain worm went up and smashed the snake's head with a wooden stick, wrapped the snake around its waist, and said happily, "It's delicious." ”

Li Du smiled bitterly: "You can eat it yourself." ”

As they walked on, the plantain insect would stop from time to time, and every time he stopped, he would find something.

In this regard, Li Du had to express his admiration, he was a real sharp eye, sometimes even Meow didn't notice any beasts and animals, he found out first.

This is a skill of the pygmies, who possess excellent vision and keen insight, an aspect that is innate, the result of genes that have been screened out by nature during generations of hunting.

At noon, they happened to come across a large river, and they were preparing lunch by the river.

Brother Wolf went to catch a few fish and made a grilled fish on the fire.

The banana worm roasted the two snakes around his waist, but Li Du and the others didn't dare to eat them, so he enjoyed them himself.

From the outside, the snake meat should be good, the skin is roasted, and the flesh is snow-white and delicate after the snake skin is peeled off, and the plantain worms seem to be delicious to eat.

But even so, Li Du and his entourage were not interested in tasting it.

After lunch, they walked down the river.

The name of this river is not clear, Brother Wolf looked up on the map, and found that they are still in South Africa, but it is very close to the border, this river is called 'Boping River', which originates in Botswana and flows to South Africa.

After walking along the river for a while, the trees become thin.

Then at two o'clock in the afternoon, the plantain worm laughed, pointed ahead and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Li Du asked in surprise: "What's there?" Got diamonds? ”

The plantain worm nodded and said, "Yes, by the cause." ”

Li Du waved his hand, and Brother Wolf and Godzilla immediately followed, and the three of them rushed forward in high spirits, preparing to find this diamond treasure mine located on the edge of the rainforest.

The view in the jungle is not very good, as they run forward, they find that there are mounds of dirt in front of them, stand on a mound of dirt and take a look, there is a big pit in front of them!
