1022.Pig Slaughter (1/5)

There are dozens or hundreds of huts in the open space, and these houses are low, small grass houses, most of which are made of wooden planks and covered with thick weeds that can be waterproofed as roofs.

There is also a kind of house that is more leaky, that is, to build a hemispherical shape with branches and leaves, Li Du couldn't help but think of the bird's nest on the tree after seeing it, these are just large bird's nests.

There are hundreds of dwarfs living here, all of them dark-skinned, mostly very thin, and the men wear only a girdle, which is disguised with leaves at the front and back.

Women are comparatively more conscious of their image, and in addition to their waistline, they also have an apron decorated with scales and beetles, which looks quite beautiful.

After Li Du and the others arrived, they first looked at the group vigilantly, and when the banana worm and the people who welcomed him went to make an introduction, the pygmies quickly became enthusiastic.

"Liquidation!" A relatively tall and strong black man came up and beckoned, "Phantom Phantom!" ”

Li Du was surprised to find that this person also spoke in Chinese, but it was more vague.

He asked the banana worm why they spoke Chinese, and the banana worm said that someone had taught them, people who were similar to him, so he asked Li Du for help at that time.

According to Li Du's guess, there should have been Chinese contact with them before, and the two sides got along very well, and the Chinese also took great pains to teach them Chinese.

After Li Du and the others sat down, some women put down their children and went to take small cups to pour water for them.

A few small leaves were soaked in hot water in the cup, like tea leaves, and Li Du sniffed the taste, which had a fragrance similar to tea.

These women wore necklaces made of small shells around their necks and bracelets made of tree bark on their wrists, with various patterns on the bark, animals, flowers, and so on.

For this pygmy tribe, Li Du and his party are honored guests.

After they sat down and rested, they served tea and began to prepare dinner.

Some of the trees are tied with thick vines, and some livestock such as pigs and deer are raised inside.

The strong little black man gave the order, and most of the pygmy men cheered, and they jumped to their feet on the ground, swinging their arms and legs rhythmically.

Li Du and the others thought that this was a show for themselves, but after jumping for a while, the little blacks went to drag out the few pigs in the fence and bleed them to slaughter.

The little dolls are even happier, and they learn from their parents to dance, which is obviously a culture that is deeply ingrained in their bones.

Godzilla's backpack contains a large amount of food, which is a small gift prepared by Li Du for the banana worm people, most of which are sugar cubes, delicious and durable.

Sophie gave the candy cubes to the children, and quickly gained the children's favor, and a dozen children began to dance around her.

Other children focused on Meow's five little ones, and one child took out a wooden stick with a sharp tip and wanted to come over and stab Meow.

Meow probed like lightning, bit the wooden stick and shook his head, pushing the child to the ground at once.

Li Du was afraid that there would be a conflict between the two sides, so he called the banana worm over and asked him to tell the people that these animals were not food, but partners, and could not be eaten.

The banana worm didn't explain, he pushed the children away as if he were driving away the beggars, waving his hands and yelling.

The children laughed and ran away, then turned back to him and grimaced at him and roared at him like beasts: "Whoa! "Woo!" "Roar! Roar! ”

More than a dozen men and a dozen women worked together to dispose of the slaughtered pigs, and the others began to do their jobs.

Someone was very curious about Li Du and the others, and sat down to chat with them.

However, knowing Chinese is only part of it, the two sides do not understand the language, Li Du and the others can't understand what they are saying, and they feel as if they are envious of the tall bodies of the group.

The fat pigs are disemboweled, the entrails are removed, and then they are divided into large pieces along with the fur.

Some of the people went to pick a lot of leaves with woven bags made of wild grass, and when they returned, they pounded them with rudimentary stone mortars.

Mash the leaves, they spread the resulting green juice evenly on the pork, and then mix the leaves with the pork.

Then a pit was dug in the ground, and the pit was built with stones, leaving a gap in the middle for a fire.

Here the pork is marinated, and there is constant firewood and clean stones into the fire.

Li Du was watching them cook, and some little black men appeared, they were hunters, walking back from the forest, with small beasts hanging from their waists, and carrying wild fruits and wild vegetables they had gathered.

There were about twenty people in the team, but there were no big beasts among them, and it seemed that it was not so easy to get food in the woods.

When the men returned, the little blacks cheered again, and after the cheers they continued to sing and dance.

There is no internet, no electricity, and no places to play in the rainforest.

But the pygmies live here very happily, they just go to sing and dance, learn the beast calling, and drink some muddy wine, so that they can be very happy.

The happier thing is obviously the evening meal, when the stones are piping hot, and some people take the pork soaked in the pile of leaves and spread it on the stones.

The temperature of the stone was high, and the flame continued to heat it, and soon, as the fat was roasted, it made a 'sizzle' sound, and the aroma of the meat spread.

The children were attracted by the smell of meat, they squatted around the fire pit like little monkeys, and some adults would pick out the leaves from the pork from time to time and give them to the children, and they ate with relish.

This is the Pygmies, the children of the forest in Africa, and they have a unique culture, which is the jungle culture.

The beliefs, customs, shelters, and costumes of the Pygmies are inseparable from the forest. This is a primitive tribe that has lived in the forest for generations, and the forest is their faith.

As night falls, the bonfires become more and more exuberant, and the pygmies become more and more excited, and begin to sing loudly around the bonfire.

At this time, the pork was almost cooked, and some strong women went up to pull the pork out with hooks, cut some of it first, put it on a wooden plate, and sent it to Li Du and others.

Looking at the black pork, Li Du smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone eat, be polite." ”

"We have to thank them, for it seems to us that this food is dirty and hard to eat, but for them it is food, and it is the highest courtesy," Sophie said. ”

The jungles of Africa often rain, the air is humid, and food cannot be stored here overnight, so the pygmies cannot stock up on food, and for them every day is a new day, and the first thing they wake up every day is to look for food.

However, it is not so simple to find food in the wild, they will often go hungry and full, and for them, it is a good thing to have food to fill their stomachs.

The group understood this, so they thanked the plantain worm and his people, who tore the pork and stuffed it into their mouths.

Li Du was about to swallow the pork, but after chewing it, he was surprised: "Hey, it's delicious!" ”
