In the middle of the night, Li Du was awakened, and the rain crackled and beat on the window, as if it was about to break the glass.

This heavy rain is menacing, it is the first rain since the beginning of spring in South Africa, if you divide it according to the climate of the dry season and the rainy season, its arrival means that the land has come to the rainy season.

Li Du got up and looked outside, thunder and lightning combined with heavy rain, it was really a bad weather, fortunately they didn't live in a tent, otherwise this heavy rain would have washed the tent down.

By the sound of the rain, he fell back asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Meow and Ah screamed, their voices were not loud, and they sounded very aggrieved: "Hum chirp." ”

Li Du rubbed his eyes and got up, turned on the flashlight to see what was going on.

When the two little ones call like that, they have encountered something that makes them unhappy.

The light shone on the ground, and he saw some stagnant water appear, and the four little ones huddled together, looking disapprovingly at their wet paws.

The little flat-headed brother was sleeping soundly, and the cold rain made it feel a little uncomfortable, so he shook his head and slept with his head held high, in short, it was still sleeping.

There is no doubt that it is rainwater pouring into the house.

Li Du got out of bed and took a look, and Brother Wolf woke up and said, "Make a diversion canal and drain the water out." Boss, you go back to sleep, I'll take care of it. ”

It was the right choice for him to hire Brother Wolf, Brother Wolf is very responsible, as long as he can handle anything himself, he will definitely not trouble others.

Li Du knew Brother Wolf's temper, so he didn't say much and went back to bed.

It became a small episode of the night, and when I woke up the next day, it was still raining, the rain had decreased slightly, but it was still a heavy rain.

The other houses were wet, and people were busy with small buckets and basins pouring water outside.

There is a drainage canal in the house here in Li Du, except for the occasional manual drainage, other times a circulation is formed, and the incoming rainwater will be discharged from the corner of the house.

This is the first time he has experienced the rainy season in Africa, and the rain is pouring down as if he doesn't need money.

Looking at the heavy rain in the sky and the dirt mountains not far away, Li Du was very worried about the mudslide, if this thing appeared, it would really be over.

Fortunately, the heavy rain lasted for forty or fifty hours, but Tushan remained unmoved.

On the third day, the rain stopped at noon, and the heavy rain in Africa came and went as fast as it came, pouring one moment and the sun coming out the next.

When the weather cleared, the blacks continued to work in the river.

At this time, the river swelled and almost doubled in width, but the blacks didn't care, pulling their trouser legs, wearing shorts, and some even went into the water with bare butts.

Faster turbulence washes away the sediment faster, saving more time to find diamonds.

Everyone finds diamonds here in a low-key manner, unlike in diamond parks in the United States, where you have to shout twice when you find a diamond.

Li Du was disheartened, he was not interested in this kind of abandoned mine.

Sheltering from the heavy rain, he prepared to leave.

With a few people, Li Du was ready to go to Buick to say goodbye, after all, they had provided them with housing to shelter from the rain, and he had to say thank you.

As a result, he walked out of the hut and saw Buick and others confronting a group of uniformed policemen by the river.

A steady stream of people from the river came up, and a steady stream of people from the house rushed over, standing behind the Buicks.

The policeman on the opposite side waved his hand impatiently and shouted: "Get out of here, get out of here, it's about to enter the rainy season, you don't want to live? ”

Li Du nodded, what the police said made sense, it was dangerous here now.

The blacks didn't care, they looked at the police in silence, they didn't say a word, but they didn't back down either.

The policeman became more and more impatient and said, "Get out of here quickly, come and line up for inspection, and get out of here when the inspection is over!"

A young man behind Buick was about to speak, he waved to stop him, and then said to the police: "Officer, if you want us to leave, we are willing to do it, let's go, but we don't have to check, right?"

The tall policeman gave him a contemptuous look at him and said, "You don't have to check, then what if you steal something from here? Except for clothes and bedding, leave everything else for me, and get out!"

Li Du originally thought that the police were right, during the rainy season, this kind of place is very dangerous.

But listening to their conversations, it seems that these policemen are going to take away the diamonds that the blacks have worked so hard to find?

A few negroes crossed the river and tried to come ashore from the other side, but just as they were about to run, a group of policemen appeared out of the woods, caught up with them, knocked them to the ground, and reached out and searched them.

Seeing these policemen, Buick's face showed anger, and the others were also furious, and some people directly scolded: "He's a traitor!"

The tall black man shouted across the river, "Hey, is there a catch?"

A black policeman laughed loudly, "It's okay, these bastards have diamonds on them." ”

Black miners were unwilling to be robbed of their diamonds and struggled.

This provoked the displeasure of several policemen, who drew their batons and pumped them, beating the miners into screams.

Buick couldn't help it, and he shouted to the policemen, "Scotty, are you going to do it too, why don't you come and attack your people?"

The others shouted, "Scotty, you're going too far. ”

"When you were a child, you should have been dragged away by a python, and I shouldn't have saved you!"

"You have disgraced the tribe! You have disgraced the god Jibra!"

A young man with a Mohican hairstyle in the police shouted: "Be honest, Buick, you are now suspected of committing a crime, cooperate with our investigation!"

The tall policeman pointed at Buick and said, "Shut up, don't talk nonsense." Get over there, line up for inspection, hurry up, we don't have time for you to rub around here. ”

Buick retracted his gaze in disappointment, and then held back his anger and said: "Officer, we are not thieves, we are all residents of the neighborhood......"

"It doesn't matter if it's a thief, come here, line up for inspection, I think you're a thief stealing diamonds. The policeman interrupted him.

A black youth shouted: "The diamonds here are ownerless, the mine is bankrupt, and the government has declared it ownerless." ”

The tall policeman went up and punched him, and said sharply: "Shut up, this is not an ownerless thing, it belongs to the state, and what you stole is state property." ”

The black youth wanted to resist, and several policemen drew their guns at the same time.

Seeing this, Buick hurriedly shouted: "Charlie, don't say it, squat!

The policemen were about to beat the young man, and the policemen across the river came around, and Scotty, a young man from Mohican, said to the tall policeman, "Boss, stop fighting, stop fighting!"

The tall policeman glanced at him and said, "What's the matter, boy?"

Scottie said, "Charlie is my brother, don't do that to him. ”

The tall policeman nodded and said, "Okay, for your sake, let this kid go." ”
