Follow the local customs 2 - the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake
To tell the truth, before coming to Ghana to dig for gold, I received a complete education in godless materialism at school, and I didn't believe in cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and even I thought that the reason why human beings believed was because their hearts were not strong enough, so they pinned mysterious things on these gods and ghosts. But the more you know, the more you suspect that there is indeed some kind of inexplicable system in the world, which is not established by a single god or ghost, but is composed of things that we can't imagine until now, which is why the more Western scientists know about scientific knowledge, the more afraid they are of mysterious unknown forces, because the world we know is only a drop in the dime, or even yet. Of course, I can't render this kind of biased worldview here, of course, in other words, our life is also a truth, what we experience in life is not necessarily experience, but a certain correctness at the time, and I can't copy this experience to prove other things, it is probably not necessarily correct, what am I talking about, I am confused. It was four o'clock in the morning on January 11, 2011, I closed my diary, looked at Erica who was still familiar with the bed next to me, I turned into my bed again, walked through the mosquito net, lay on the bed, and silently said a sentence in my heart: "The African experience is precious!" The more you experience, the bigger your heart becomes. "Maybe this is something that only people who have experienced in difficult areas overseas will understand.
At six o'clock this morning, that is, in two hours, we will all go to the White Snake's territory to "dance", and Erica has asked Donai to go back to get the local things to pray for. Erica said to us yesterday, "Xiaosheng, the gold mine is the lost Garden of Eden, the White Serpent is the embodiment of Satan, and their descendants and the descendants of women will be enemies for generations to come." Now that the White Snake has sensed that there are women living in our mines, and have encouraged the "aborigines" of the gold mines - all kinds of insects and crows - to fight against us, now if we want to eliminate this hatred, we need to go to the snake cave to dance, that is, to dance a dance in our local area, in the process of dancing, we must kill the women. ”
"Huh? Going to kill the pearls? How's that going to work? I quickly looked at Erijia in surprise and shock.
"No, a female doesn't have to be a woman, it can be some other creature! For example, hens, ducks, ewes, and so on. Erica waved at me and put her hand on my shoulder to sit down.
"That's fine!" I continued to sit down, turned my head to tell Wei Yiyun and Wei Ergou, and then turned back to Erijia and asked, "Then how do you get it?" When? ”
"Tomorrow morning, I'll ask Donnay to get the shaman, and you go buy a few hens and ewes, preferably as many as the women on the site. Now pearls on the construction site, nanny. Just buy a hen and a ewe! Erica said to me.
After listening to my translation, Wei Ergou arranged for Wei Yiyun and He Pearl to buy it, and sent the pearl to live in Dongkua Town, and the nanny also paid her three months' salary to let her leave. The three of us didn't tell us that I was telling us that we were going to get up early tomorrow, and that Erijia would take us to worship the mountain god.
Yesterday we didn't start work for the rest of the day, so it was a busy week, so everyone had a day to rest. Zhu Yong, the black Lao Cao, Lao Wu, and the three of them didn't think about the bad luck that happened, but took out the cards to fight the landlord, and they didn't want us three young people to be a little panicked and uneasy at all.
Wei Yiyun and Pearl explained the situation, but Pearl didn't say anything, and happily followed Wei Yiyun to the town. Wei Ergou personally cooked and prepared lunch, and he said that he was going to cook a Guangxi meal, just to sweep away the depression, and it was a week.
In the afternoon, Wei Yiyun came back, he carried a ewe and hen, and also brought back a lot of coconuts and mangoes, saying that they belonged to the pearl family, and brought them to us to eat. Wei Yiyun, this kid and Pearl have been together for so long and have developed a foreign relationship, when I was in **, he also bought several clothes for Pearl with Bai Ying, and now he is going to "live apart" I don't know if it will be uncomfortable.
Huang Jianjun drove to Wei Yiyun in Dongkua Town to ask about the gold mine production, and when he learned that our output was not high, he decided to drive with Wei Yiyun to have a look, so as to give us ideas. When Huang Jianjun arrived, it was just in time for Wei Ergou to cook a meal of dog meat, and when he smelled it, he got out of the car and shouted loudly, "Ah, Ergou, you are cooking dog meat!" It's really just the right time, I haven't eaten for half a year, and you kid didn't call me to come, how did you forget Lao Tzu! ”
"Ahh Come, sit down, Xiaosheng will make a pot of tea for Mr. Huang. Ah, Mr. Huang, I want to call you to come, one to come to your mine to say less than four hours, one to come and go for a day; Second, my mine has just opened, and the output is not very good, and I am embarrassed to tell people, I am afraid that you will laugh at it. When Wei Ergou heard the voice, he hurriedly called Zhu Yong to help him continue to stare at the pot and go out to meet Huang Jianjun by himself.
"You, you, you're just too face-saving, can I laugh at you? My mine is far away from you, I can stay for a few days before leaving! Although there are many Chinese in this Ghana, and we are almost thousands of Shanglin people, what does it matter, you have seen the outside world! Huang Jianjun said as he walked to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the dog meat in the pot. This dog was bought by Wei Ergou, which is one of the South African mastiffs, which has been raised for more than a month, when Wei Yiyun drove to Dongkua yesterday, the dog slept under the car and did not get up, and was crushed to death.
"This is a braised South African mastiff! It is estimated that Mr. Huang has never eaten it in his life! Wei Ergou followed behind and introduced to the tour guide.
"Ahh You're too extravagant! Thousands of dollars a dog cooks and eats! Huang Jianjun couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the dog meat in the pot.
"Where, I accidentally ran over in the morning by driving, and I had no choice but to burn it to eat." Wei Yiyun explained embarrassedly.
"Then I'm in for a treat! For the first time in my life, I held South African mastiff dog meat! Huang Jianjun blinked his mouth and then looked at Wei Ergou and smiled, Wei Ergou pulled out a cigarette and handed it over, this is the "private goods" he hid under the pillow - real dragon cigarettes, it is said that a piece is more than 1,000 yuan.
"It's delicious for another twenty minutes, Mr. Huang, you came at the right time. By the way, what's going on with your mines? Wei Ergou took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Huang Jianjun.
A few people sat down, Zhu Yong and a few people automatically dispersed, Zhu Yong went to give the dog meat a taste, and Lao Cao and Lao Wu went to chop coconuts and pineapples. After a while, the dog meat feast was on the table, Erica happened to come in from outside, he just went to the black worker grass shed to chat, we spoke Chinese, he was bored alone and went to chat with the black workers from time to time.
