Thinking of this, Xiao Ping's expression also changed slightly, and Fan immediately saw that he was a little shaken, and hurriedly said to Xiao Ping: "Otherwise, you tell us the name of the tribe you are looking for." If we know where that tribe is, you hire us as guides. If we don't know and we won't lie to you, how about you try your luck with someone else?"
Qin Jianjun also helped beside him: "Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao, you might as well talk about it, we are very likely to know." And it's hard to find a guide at this time, so even if you wait, you're probably wasting your time. ”
Feeling that Fan Li and Qin Jianjun's words also made some sense, Xiao Ping thought for a while and said to the two: "The tribe I'm looking for is called Mocania." ”
Hearing Xiao Ping say the name of the tribe, Fan Li and Qin Jianjun both showed expressions of hard thinking. Seeing this, Xiao Ping didn't urge the two, but just waited patiently for them to give him an answer.
The northern shore of Lake Victoria is a vast area with dozens of local tribes living in the area. Many tribes are still in isolation, living in very remote areas. And according to Capet's original description, this Mocanian tribe was one of them. Even the most familiar guide with the local area can't guarantee that he knows about this tribe.
Therefore, Fan Li and Qin Jianjun meditated like this, which was reasonable in Xiao Ping's eyes. If the two of them heard this name, they immediately said that they knew the tribe very well, and Xiao Ping would suspect that they were lying.
In the end, Qin Jianjun, who was still younger, suddenly brightened his eyes, and said to Fan Li happily: "Cousin, isn't Mocania the tribe we accidentally met the year before last......? Yes, the young man from Tulutulu took us there, and we collected several tusks there!"
After the word "ivory" came out, Qin Jianjun realized that he had slipped his mouth, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ping a little nervously.
Fan Li didn't make it clear to Xiao Ping before, only said that he was in the animal products business. And now Qin Jianjun clearly mentioned ivory, which is definitely revealing the bottom to Xiao Ping.
Fortunately, Xiao Ping had already guessed what business the two had done before. Qin Jianjun's words didn't surprise him in any way, he just pretended not to hear it and fooled him. Xiao Ping was not a staunch animal protectionist like Su Chenlin, and it didn't matter to him what Fan Li and Qin Jianjun had done before, as long as the two of them could take him to the Mocanian tribe.
Seeing that Xiao Ping didn't react after listening to his words, Qin Jianjun secretly put his mind at ease. Fan Li also remembered after hearing his words, slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, the tribe that Tulu Tulu took us to." Isn't it just called Mocania?"
Knowing that the tribe Xiao Ping was looking for had really been there a few years ago, Fan Li was also very confident. He recalled for a moment, and then asked Xiao Ping tentatively: "Mr. Xiao, is the Mocanian tribe you are looking for men who don't wear clothes?" Only a piece of sedge ornament is put on the vital part, and the woman is also naked, the upper body is exposed, and only the lower half of the body wears a sedge skirt?"
Qin Jianjun also helped beside him: "The token of worship of this tribe is also quite scary, it is a black skull, and there is a jujube kernel-shaped hole in the middle of the forehead, I just look at it and feel hairy all over my body." ”
The characteristics of the Mocanian tribe described by Fan Li and Qin Jianjun were exactly the same as the photos Xiao Ping saw at Capet's house, which also lifted his spirits. It is believed that these two men did indeed visit the Mocanian tribe.
Since this is the case, Xiao Ping has nothing to hesitate, and immediately nodded and said, "Since the two of you have been to the Mokania tribe before, then I will trouble you this time!"
Hearing Xiao Ping say this, Fan Li and Qin Jianjun were also full of joy. Finally found an employer this season, and it looks like the trip is going to take a lot of time, so I can finally make a good profit.
Thinking of this, Fan Li and Qin Jianjun exchanged glances, and Fan Li said: "Since Mr. Xiao has decided to hire us, let's talk about the cost first." So as not to be clear when the time comes, what do you think?"
Xiao Ping also agreed with Fan Li's statement, and nodded again and again: "No problem, business should be like this." ”
Seeing that Xiao Ping was a simple person, Fan Li also said with a smile: "That's the case, hire the two of us, and the commission is four hundred dollars per day." In addition, you will be responsible for the supplies you need. However, transportation is provided by us. ”
Qin Jianjun added: "We can't guarantee that we will be able to take you to the Mocanian tribe, but we will definitely do our best, please rest assured." ”
For Xiao Ping, finding the divine bone is the most important thing, even if he spends tens of millions of dollars for it, he won't even blink an eye. Fan Likai's price is not too high. It's completely within Xiao Ping's tolerance.
As for Qin Jianjun's words, Xiao Ping was not worried, he also inquired on the road, this is the code of conduct of African field guides. After all, wildlife isn't like the animals in cages in zoos, which are guaranteed to be seen. It is also completely understandable that Fan Li and Qin Jianjun used this rule to find the Mocanian tribe.
So Xiao Ping didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded: "Okay, no problem." But I'm short on time, and I want to do my best. ”
Seeing that Xiao Ping didn't make a counteroffer at all, Fan Li and Qin Jianjun were both overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "This is no problem, we need a day's preparation time, and it will be out tomorrow!"
Xiao Ping nodded and said, "Okay, then where will we meet tomorrow?"
Hearing Xiao Ping say this, Fan Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's not easy to find a place to stay in Lahuma City right now, all the hotels and inns are full. I think you might as well go to our lodgings and spend the night, so that it will be convenient and you will be able to get out early tomorrow, so you won't have to waste time waiting. ”
After asking a few hotels, Xiao Ping also knew that it would not be easy to find a place to stay in Rahuma City at this time. And Fan Li's sentence of "saving time" really moved Xiao Ping, so he agreed to Fan Li's construction without much thought.
Fan Li and Qin Jianjun's residence is located on the outskirts of Lahuma City, although the location is a bit remote, but the place is spacious, and Xiao Ping even has a separate room, which also makes him more satisfied.
After settling down, Xiao Ping first paid the two of them a week's salary, and gave them another $1,000 in cash to fund the preparation of supplies.
In the city of Rahuma, where consumption levels are very low, a thousand dollars is already a lot of money. Seeing that Xiao Ping was so generous, Fan Li and Qin Jianjun's enthusiasm became even higher, and they immediately went out to buy supplies.
Fan Li and Qin Jianjun were busy until dark before returning. To Xiao Ping's surprise, in addition to a large amount of supplies, the two actually brought back a local boy.
