1024. The Unexpected (3/5)

Looking at this big pit, Li Du gasped: This is different from what he imagined.

In his imagination, or in the vague narrative of the plantain worm, this should be a barren mountain near a river, and the river has washed away the mountain, breaking away a large number of kimberlite rocks, and there are rough diamonds in the river and along the river.

But in front of him, this is a deserted diamond mine, a reclaimed diamond mine!

At the very least, it's a reclaimed mine, surrounded by a river, with excavated potholes around the area, small hills of dirt piled up on the ground, and in many places there are signs of mechanical work.

And shortly after he arrived at the abandoned mine, someone crawled out of the pit.

Obviously, it's not just the plantain worms who know this place, many people know that there are diamonds here!

Crawling out were two middle-aged black men, covered in mud, talking and laughing together, but after noticing Li Du and the three, especially when they found the strong bear-like Godzilla, they immediately closed their mouths.

The two looked at the three of them vigilantly, pinched the small cloth bag on their waists, and slowly walked along the dirt pit to the other side.

Li Du released the little flying insect into the small cloth bag on their waists and saw that there were diamonds in the cloth bags of the two of them, one person was two, and the other person was one.

This discovery made his disappointment better, and judging from the harvest of the two, there should be diamonds to be harvested in this mine.

In that case, why did the previous mine owner abandon this place?

He didn't know the answer, and no one would give him an answer now.

Li Du walked up another hill, from which he could overlook the river and see more people.

Dozens of black men and women were busy in the river, bending over and shaking the sieve in the water, letting the river wash away the mud and sand in search of diamonds.

He sighed and headed for the river.

The people in the river soon spotted him, stood up and stared at him together.

Li Du smiled and asked, "Hi, good afternoon, everyone." ”

No one answered him, and the crowd just looked at him with wary eyes.

Li Du asked, "Excuse me, is this mine abandoned?"

The blacks still didn't speak, they still looked at him so coldly.

Seeing this, Li Du shrugged, it seemed that it was impossible to expect to get an answer from these people's mouths.

After the group appeared, the people in the river began to become restrained.

Instead of sifting the sand here for diamonds, most people put the sand in the sieve into sacks, use small carts to push the heavy sacks out of the place.

Li Du looked at this place, not knowing how to use the ability of the little flying insect, it seemed that looking for diamonds here was not much easier than looking for diamonds in the diamond park.

It was already afternoon, and they couldn't go anyway.

Li Du motioned to camp here temporarily, and Brother Wolf and Big Ivan went around and found some houses.

It's easy to have a house, they don't have to sleep in a tent anymore.

Most of these houses are low, few without windows or doors, and are small dilapidated houses made of mud or stone.

Li Du was easily satisfied, and felt that it was good to be able to get such a house in the wild.

There are about twenty or thirty houses, probably once used by the mine workers, but they have been abandoned, but they are not abandoned, and most of them are still inhabited.

Living in it were black men who were digging for diamonds in the mines, and in the end there were two broken houses that were empty, Li Du went in to take a look, and came out directly with a frown.

He's not picky, but these two houses are too bad, full of garbage and feces and urine, and they don't even have a place to stay, so they might as well live in a tent.

Sixiao looked at the window, and he didn't like it, so he went in and sniffed on the poop on the ground, showing interest, and licked his mouth with his tongue, which seemed to be a little covetous.

Sophie dragged it out by the ear, and she shook her head repeatedly: "We have a tent to live in, so let's choose a place to live in a tent." ”

Big Ivan played with the saber in his hand and said, "No need, the house here is good, I'll just drive the people inside." ”

Li Du glanced at him and said, "You give me honesty, there are a lot of locals here, we belong to outsiders, it's best not to have conflicts." ”

There are many rights and wrongs in the wilderness, most of these blacks are the destitute class, barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, they are definitely less afraid of death than Li Du and his party, if there is a conflict, maybe something will happen.

Li Du is not afraid of conflicts on the surface, what he is afraid of is that someone is secretly using small actions.

There are many strange things in Africa, such as some vegetation in the wild, which may be refined to become poison and drug, and harm people invisibly.

As a result, just because they don't want to cause trouble doesn't mean they can get along here.

In the afternoon, when they came to the mine, Li Du asked Godzilla and Da Ao to set up a tent, and he and Sophie took a few little ones to wander around the mine to check the situation.

Several black men stopped the two of them, and a shirtless man looked at Li Du with cold eyes and asked, "Hey, which country are you from?"

Li Du smiled and said, "Hello, man, we are from the United States, and we ...... here."

"This is not the place for you to come, get out of here. Dahan said domineeringly.

Several other men clasped their arms in front of their chests, propped up their muscles, and made a gesture to push Li Du to let them leave, but some people waved impatiently to drive away: "Get out, don't stay here." ”

Li Du avoided the pushed arm and protected Sophie behind him, he didn't think of the conflict, so he didn't fight back, but the four children were extremely protective, and when they saw the two being bullied, they immediately rushed up excitedly.

Ali is the most belligerent, jumping up and hitting a big man's lower abdomen is a black tiger heart.

Ah Meow pounced on a young man and threw him to the ground, while Meow stared at the leader, opening his mouth to show his vicious fangs, and making a 'snort' demonstration.

simply went to the ground and touched a stone, followed Meow's side and slapped the stone on the ground, making a 'bang' sound in cooperation.

"Damn, damn it, Buick, save me! Get rid of this son of a bitch!" The young man who was pounced on was shocked, and after Ah Yan entered the attack state, he was completely like a wolf, very aggressive.

The big man who was punched by Ali also screamed, he was furious, chasing Ali to kick it, Ali was very cunning and ran to the position of the little flat-headed brother, and felt the big man kicking behind him, so it jumped suddenly and jumped over the little flat-headed brother.

In this way, the big man kicked the little flat-headed brother and rolled it on the ground twice.

This is causing trouble, the little flat-headed brother got up and didn't say a word, just look up and do it!

It pounced on the big man, and while the big man went to chase Ali without noticing it, it jumped on the big man's lap, opened its mouth and took a bite at his calf.

"Ah!" the big man screamed, and his voice was terrible.
