Chapter 42: The Moon God

Set off early the next day, and after departure, Fang Hong turned on the live broadcast. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There are no women, only Akro, and it doesn't matter if it's naked.

The reporter followed: "Do you really want to enter the woods? ”

Fang Hong: "Didn't you notice, the Zoe people don't go into the depths of the dense forest, and he will hang around the periphery at most." ”

"How did you find out?"

"If the Zoe are willing to go into the jungle to hunt larger animals, they can still afford to grow cassava?"

There is also cassava in China, which was introduced from South America, and the planting area is quite extensive.

In the land of Brazil, where what is planted and what grows, the Zoe people have been cultivating cassava for a long time.

It was not only the planting factor that made Fang Hong sure that they were unwilling to hunt, but also the fact that they lived in groups.

It stands to reason that the human race that survives by hunting will not appear in too large a village, because pure carnivorous humans are the world's top predators, and one land cannot support a large group of pure carnivorous humans.

The trees near the village of the Zoe, including the cassava fields, were shoveled clean, proving that they were actually very afraid of the forest worms.

The fact that the Mori are pythons and live by water, and that the villages of the Zoe are far from the river, all prove that they are not that brave.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that the forest python will not be interested in the strong men of the Zoe tribe who are 1.6 meters or 1.7 meters, but it doesn't mean that they are not interested in children.

The Zoe people bulldozed a large amount of empty soil to prevent snakes from approaching the tribe.

This is a rainforest, and snakes are used to humidity, and they are definitely not interested in the artificial desert of the Zoe village.

Walking on the woodland, Akro blocked a small tree trunk, looked around, raised his hand and drew his bow, but with a slight pull, the arrow shot out, which seemed to be crooked in the air, but in fact drew a perfect arc, and flew between the two branches.

The reporter didn't see anything, but Fang Hong saw the target in advance: "Akro has hunted a musical bird." ”

"This bird is very peculiar, very afraid of people, and has a very good voice, often you can only hear the sound but you can't see them, because as soon as you get close, it flies away."

"Brother Gun, I didn't hear the birds."

"Before it could scream, it died."

Akro walked out, and in a moment came out with an arrow, and the arrow passed through the bird.

This bird is the size of a turtledove: "Rare large-sized musical birds, ordinary musical birds are only a little larger than sparrows, this one is really unlucky, I met Akro." ”

Akro's use of modern compound bows is not as good as Shang Hong, but his longbow is many levels higher than Fang Hong's. The arrow passed through two leafy branches in an arc, and then hit the musical bird in a large tree behind it, which means that it actually killed it in the process of falling.

As the two walked, a yellow-bellied and blue-winged bird skimmed overhead and stopped in a distant tree.

Fang Hong was excited: "Macaw, and it is a glazed macaw, it is rare, when I was in China, I only saw it at an old man's house, it is said that there are hundreds of thousands." Of course, it is illegal to catch macaws anywhere. ”

Akro doesn't seem to have any interest in macaws either.

"I remember watching a movie about the phoenix before, and the two phoenixes in it were played by big parrots, in fact, in the legends of the Western world, the phoenix should be a parrot, and it seems that the Zoe people are not interested in this beautiful bird, and Akro doesn't seem to be ready to start."

"Oh, by the way, just mention it, the phoenix in the West is actually called the immortal bird, which first appeared in ancient Egyptian mythology, called Balala (the same as banana in English), and in English it is called Phoenix. The undead bird is the sunbird, shaped like an eagle and colorful, and it is actually a small number of macaws distributed in Europe. ”

"Phoenix Nirvana refers to Phoenix, not the ancient phoenix of our country, that is to say, the Phoenix Divine Fire Nirvana is actually not a myth of our country, it should be mentioned for the first time in Guo Moruo's poems."

The Indians, who were extremely fond of colorful feather decorations, did not kill parrots much.

Including the Zoe (tentatively defined as the Indian tribes), the women of the Zoe also wore feathered headdresses, but with small feathers and resin adhered and then worn, not as a separate eagle crown, but as a semicircular solid mixture. It also works to protect women, because many animals are more scared when they see a big face, which is almost the same as the congested bone plate of a lizard.

After a short walk, Akro picked up the longbow again, and this time the reporter saw the animal as well.

The reporter immediately spoke to Akro, but Akro shot the arrow anyway.

Fang Hong was silent for a while and then explained: "White-shouldered tamarin, a monkey endemic to the Amazon, a rare animal. ”

The monkey is completely black, but there are two white hairs on the top of the head from the tip of the ears to the neck, and it is not very large.

"I've seen white-shouldered tamarins in the tribe, and this time the white-shouldered tamarin didn't escape the hunt. Unlike people from the outside, the Zoe people have lived on the land for more than a thousand years, and they know and understand that these animals are food, and they think more about how they survive than how they live. At this stage, Brazil's animal protection laws are ineffective against them. ”

In Chinese, marmosets mean animals with short, dense fur, and not just a certain category of animals.

In the Amazon, however, an entire group of monkeys has been identified as tamarin, which is characterized by the fact that the fingers, with the exception of the thumb, do not have nails, but claws.

"From a biological point of view, the primates of the marmoset family are the least evolved primates, and it is understandable that the Zoe people eat them, and these monkeys are also one of the main foods of the forest python, for which the forest worm learned to climb trees."

A bird, a tamarin, Akro is going home, there are deer that have been hit, plus this tamarin, enough for his family to eat for several days.

At night, Fang Hong saw food made from tapioca flour.

Tapioca flour is mixed into a dough, then spread out in a dustpan-like thing, steamed and dried, and then directly torn off and eaten with seasoning.

I can't tell what exactly was used in the seasoning, but it should be some berries and flavor-enhancing plants.

It tastes very similar to tsampa.

The women fell asleep after eating, and Fang Hong, Akro, and reporters talked while eating.

Reporter: "If you start going into the jungle tomorrow, then I'll have to go back early, and then you can go through the south and get to Itatuba and where there is an airport to go back to Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo." ”

Fang Hong nodded: "I have a map, it has been marked." ”

"You'll need to come back and quarantine and check your belongings before you can leave Brazil."

"Hmm."

Akro next to him was still talking something.

Fang Hong lowered his head and waited for the reporter to translate.

After a while, the reporter turned around: "From here, go northwest, you will meet other Zoe tribes, if you want to go into the forest to explore, you can only choose to go southwest." ”

Fang Hong frowned: "That's not, I need to cross the wide river?" ”

Any river in the Amazon is deadly.

"He said that to the northwest here, there are very few real primeval forests, all of which are trees that have been cut down and replanted by their tribesmen over the years, and if you want to enter the rainforest, you have to go southwest."

Fang Hong, the place where the Zoe people slash and burn and plant cassava, has seen the burning tree trunks in one place to provide potash fertilizer for the land, it is conceivable that these tribes should have been migrating to this land over the years, and it was only a migration more than twenty years ago that reached the outer area that was discovered.

Fang Hong nodded: "Okay, I remember." ”

Akro stepped forward, and the god muttered a long list.

"What did he say?"

"Akro will pray for you again, it's about some god story."

"Can you translate?"

"He said you can't speak when he prays, and I can understand it because he speaks Portuguese, I can't understand the language of the Zoe people."

Akro used two coats of paint to wipe the mark on Fang Hong's face, and continued, finally raising his tone.

After communicating with Akro for a while, the reporter looked back at Fang Hong: "The night belongs to the moon god, and at night, you must not rush." ”
