968. The Guest Primitive (2/10) (Page 1/1)
Li Du's camp is next to the tribe of the Hazayi, which is said to be next to it, but in fact, it is also two or three kilometers away, but the grassland is flat, and the fire is conspicuous at night, so they can see each other.
In the early morning, the sky has just dawned, and the night has not completely receded, and the stars in the sky are shining, still exuding the final glow.
But in the east, a round of the morning sun is already brewing, and the position of the eastern horizon is already bright, and it must not be long before the sun rises in the sky.
Li Du is used to getting up early to exercise, and when he walked out of the tent, the wolf brother in the tent next to him also got up, got out of the tent and punched a few times, doing boxing movements to relax his muscles and bones.
Ali saw it, and quickly jumped over and swung his fist to follow his rhythm, looking at the board and looking at it, as if it was like that.
Li Du is ready to run, in the winter of the South African savannah, the morning is still a little cool, Li Du runs, the cold air is coming, with the smell of dead grass, very fresh.
Some wild birds are flying into the air, and the early birds are getting insects to eat, and they are about to start their busy day.
Li Du ran towards the position of the Hazai tribe and ran for a while and ran into Chiks.
Chicks was also running, taking some of the children of the tribe, and when he saw Li Du, he beckoned and said, "What a coincidence, we met so early, are you interested in being a guest in our tribe?"
Li Du smiled and said, "Won't you bother?"
Cheeks said: "Very welcome, our people have not seen the Chinese, they don't even know that there is a civilized world beyond this continent." ”
Li Du asked Brother Wolf to go back and talk about it, and he followed Cheeks to their tribe camp.
Yesterday he saw only the immediate combat strength of the Hazai, a tribe of quite a large number, about seventy or so.
It is not easy to live on the resources of the wilderness, and although the Hazai move from place to place like vagabonds, they cannot live as freely as vagabonds.
Because there is no government to subsidize their lives, they cannot find food from the garbage heap, but have to work hard with their hands.
For Li Du and others, hunting is to aim at the prey and pull the trigger, but for the Hazais who are still living in a nearly primitive society, hunting is a great difficulty.
In order to survive, the Hazais have to get up early to prepare for the day's hunting.
Li Du followed Cheeks to their camp, where more than thirty women and old men sat around the campfire, the flames dancing, and they worked while they roasted the fire.
They did not live in tents, but not far away some of the strong laborers lay down by the campfire, and slept with the sky as their tent and the earth as their bed.
Seeing Li Du, some children showed surprised expressions, or with their fingers in their mouths, or jumping up, and ran to his side to look at him carefully.
A child pointed at Li Du and shouted two words in their language, a woman frowned and scolded, and the child shrunk his neck and ran back, retracting into the woman's arms.
Li Du asked, "What did he say?"
Cheeks laughed, "He said your skin looks like a lion. ”
Li Du thought this analogy was quite good, and he wondered, "Then this should be a good word, right? Why did his mother still drink him?"
"That's not his mother, that's his grandmother," corrected Cheeks, "and she scolded the child to be quiet, for the hunters of the clan were resting and could not disturb the hunters." ”
Li Du was surprised, the black woman who looked no more than forty years old, turned out to be such a big child's grandmother?
When Cheeks returned, a branch was inserted into the fire, and on the branches hung the tuber rhizomes of roast meat and some plants.
After a while, the smell of food spreads, and the sleeping hunters wake up, stretching out and sitting down by the campfire, taking the food and eating.
A plump young woman took a branch and handed it to Li Du, and said in jerky English: "Hello, guest, please eat." ”
Li Du thanked him, he held the branch and nibbled on the meat, as if he had eaten a large skewer of barbecue in college, which was called a strong one.
However, the taste of the meat was not so good, and the meat of the beast had a fishy smell, because there was little salt used, and there were no spices such as cumin and five-spice powder, so he was not used to eating it.
Moreover, this meat is roasted after drying, without gravy and fat, and it tastes very woody, and Li Du's chewing teeth are sore and his cheeks are painful.
The Hazai people are very hospitable, probably because they are always on the move, curious about the outside world, hoping to make more new friends, Li Du is quite popular when he arrives, and in the morning, some people come to toast.
Their wine is a fruit wine made by themselves, which looks cloudy and sour.
Li Du was not hypocritical, since the Hazai people would not die if they drank it, he naturally didn't have much of a big deal, and after taking it, he saluted them, raised his wine glass and drank it.
This fruit wine doesn't smell very good, but it tastes good, like juice mixed with alcohol, very strong, but there is a fruity aroma to suppress, and it feels good in the mouth.
Li Du drank a bowl in one gulp, and the hunters laughed and nodded to him.
Cheeks took an animal's skull and placed it on top of his head, the top half of the skull resembled a human head, but the lower half was wider and had two hideous fangs.
Li Du recognized it, remembered Brother Wolf's words, and asked, "This is the skull of a baboon?"
Chicks smiled and nodded, "Yes, a gift from our Hazais to our distinguished guests. ”
Wearing a baboon skull, Li Du has a wine bowl in his left hand and a branch in his right hand to roast meat, with a wilderness atmosphere all over his body.
The hunters eat, the old and weak women and children make tools, arrange equipment for them, prepare lunch for the wild, etc., busy and orderly, with a sense of rhythm in life.
Li Du chewed on the barbecue and asked Cheeks about their daily routine, "How long are you going to stay in this grassland, and where are you going to go in the future?"
"For us Cheeks, there are no four seasons, only a dry season and a rainy season, and during the dry season we migrate and gather food," Cheeks said. When the rainy season came, we moved into the hollows of the bread trees to escape the dampness and mud. ”
"The next thing we'll do is live in the grassland for a while, and then we'll head north to find the big bread groves to prepare for the rainy season. ”
Li Du asked, "You have a higher education and understand modern society, why don't you lead your tribe to carry out reforms? For example, build a house to live in the rainy season." ”
Cheeks laughed, shook his head, and said, "No, I don't have the authority to do that, the Hazai have existed for so long that I can't find the origin of the tribe from the books. The tribe has passed down many traditions that are not modern enough, but they are the key to the survival of the group. ”
After a pause, he added, "I studied medicine, and I can help my people with diseases, but I can't deprive them of their right to inherit traditions." ”
