Part 3: Rising Africa Section 9 Fishing in the desert
Lei Dong, who finally came out, stared at the three women in front of him, no, it was a woman, two little girls, and said solemnly, "You have to realize your mistakes, especially you, Yaya Koné, are messing around with your sister." ”
"I'm not messing around, it's the way it should be." Yaya Koné stared at her little eyes and looked angry.
Lei Dong turned to her and said earnestly, "You're still young, you don't understand this yet." ”
Yaya Koné thinks he is very good at choosing to forget, "I've said it countless times, I'm not a child anymore, I'm an adult." ”
Damn African customs, Lei Dongjue himself was very defeated, nodded and said helplessly, "Okay, you're an adult, okay?" ”
Yaya Koné nodded proudly, and didn't dare to say anything when she saw Lei Dong turn to Coco Koné, her sister hadn't come to her period, and she wasn't a woman yet.
"What about you, follow your sister to coax blindly, it's right for children to be obedient, but you can't listen to everything, don't cry, okay, don't cry." The decibel of the thunderous tone dropped dramatically as Coco-Kony's tears fell.
Coco Cornet choked up and said, "I'm an adult, too. ”
Why did he talk like this again, Lei Dong was just about to get angry.
Coco Koné then said quickly, "I came there in the afternoon, I'm also an adult, and I wanted to tell you and my sister in the evening." ”
Thunder flashed silently.
Yalba was wondering about the house rules of the new master's house, why didn't he beat people, it seemed that the master doted on them very much, Lei Dong walked in front of her, knelt down in fright, and said in a low voice, "This is not about the young lady, these are all things I should do." ”
Oh, these are all things that should be done, and what else is not? Don't think about it. It was better to keep a low profile and ask, "How did Yaya-Koné know that I was called to deliver food?" ”
"It was the young lady who called me here and said that you liked the morning." Yalba spoke quickly, and it was a pleasure for the young master to like him.
This is not right, I secretly want to hide it from this little housekeeper, why did I still let her know? Lei Dong pondered where something went wrong.
Yaya Koné said very bravely, anyway, the matter was revealed, "I forced Saddbu to say, sneaky appearance, do you want to punish him?" "Yaya-Koné decided to attack and defend to protect this comrade who had penetrated into the enemy's interior.
"Forget it, people just came and don't know what." Lei Dong took the bag with the food, carried the water and walked towards the village, the two sisters held hands and followed proudly, from time to time there were a few laughs, and at the end was the confused Yalba, why didn't the master let me take the things and carry them away by myself, was I confused? It's not like that.
When they returned to the village, Zhang Nanjiang and the others hadn't come back yet, and there was nothing else to do, Lei Dong asked Huang Jiangfeng to be on guard, and he took a squad of people to the south of the village.
On the dry riverbed near the village, Zhang Nanjiang was bragging to a few people in Saddbu, and when he saw Lei Dong running over with a gun, he nervously pulled out his gun and asked, "Chief, what's the situation?" ”
Lei Dong scolded when he saw that nothing happened to them, "What's the situation with you kid, the sun is about to go down and you haven't come back, do you think something happened to you?" ”
"We're fine, how about Saddb teach us to fish?" Zhang Nanjiang said ostentatiously.
"Fishing? Fishing in the desert? "Lei Dongjue should bury this kid in the desert.
"Sadebu said that there is a dark river here, and he took us to dig a pit of more than 5 meters, and really found the dark river, and he was tired to death, so he just sat down and rested, and you are here, chief." Zhang Nanjiang said seriously.
The pit is very large, and the river flows very gently, but I don't know how deep it is. Lei Dong looked at it and said excitedly, "Will this collapse, as soon as the person falls, it will be over, get a solid platform, use steel pipes and wood, and get a pump to make a bathroom or something in the future, cool, no wonder the oasis here is so big." ”
"The chief is saying that you want to fish too?" Zhang Nanjiang asked as soon as he thought of it.
Lei Dong patted the kid on the head, turned around and asked Sadeb, "This won't dry up or be diverted, will it?" ”
"No, this dark river is very big, it is the mother river of this desert, and it will not dry up for hundreds of years." Saddb had just carefully surveyed that such an oasis could build a small country of a few thousand people.
"Build a big tent or simply build a big house on top of this, the temperature in the desert is too high, the evaporation is very strong, we have to protect our own things, and we don't get tired of fishing like this." Lei Dong loves his own things very much.
While eating, Rima kept staring at Yalba, always feeling that something was happening to him, and took the opportunity to scoop the soup and asked in a low voice, "Where did you go in the afternoon?" Why didn't I see you? ”
"In the afternoon, the young lady asked us to move our things." Yalba replied casually.
"What young lady, she's about the same as us, and they're all servants adopted by that person." Lima is actually a little jealous of Yaya Koné, why can she enjoy these delicacies and fruits, while she is herding sheep and taking care of the children.
Can a servant talk to his master so casually? What a child, maybe she's jealous. Yalba whispered, "Even as a servant, she does a good job, at least she doesn't get jailed and doesn't think about running away all day." ”
I'm going to make it, sure! Rima replied inwardly, her eyes crossing the crowd to the warriors' tables.
Perhaps she had taken a liking to the little boy, and if she no longer wanted to run away, perhaps she could beg her master to let them live together, Yalba noticed her daughter's gaze.
Early the next morning, Lei Dong woke up to the cheers in the camp, and when he got up, he saw that it was Sadbu who had really caught two fish. Fishing in the desert is a fantasy for many people, but Sadb has turned the myth into reality.
Lei Dong looked at the two fat big fish in the barrel and asked, "How long have you been fishing, did you go out alone?" ”
Sadebu replied shyly, "I went after dinner, and the platoon commander arranged for two people to accompany me, I came back with the fish first, and the other one watched there." ”
Zhang Nanjiang reported softly in Lei Dong's ear, "Huang Jiangfeng's kid said that if he runs away, he will ask someone to accompany him." ”
Lei Dong understood and said, "Before the house is built, if you want to fish, arrange a class, this can also train patience, which is of great help to lurkers and snipers, and you can also get fish, killing two birds with one stone." ”
"Chief, I'll arrange it right away, there are more people who want to go fishing now, so I will complete it as a training task." Zhang Nanjiang felt that the chief was the chief, wise as the sun in the desert.
At noon, everyone collectively ate a long-lost fish stew soup, and the delicious taste of desert fish was so tempting, which made Yaya-Koné nag for a while, why can't you give the master a person to eat? Why should the fish caught by the slave be shared with everyone, and what the slave harvests is the master's, which is sacrosanct.
Now everyone is tired of fishing, although just hanging down the bait and waiting, but everyone thinks of the beauty of the desert fish and wants to have something to gain, and sees the girls who are eager to try and want to go, Lei Dong hurriedly stipulates that fishing can be, and after the house is built, you must fasten your seat belt, and you must be accompanied by soldiers, because the desert fish is very fat and big, and the strength of the hook and struggle is also very great, and a thin child is easy to take into the water.
Lei Dong himself also went fishing once, and also hugged Yaya Koné to fish once, the little girl was happy with the nonsense, no matter how you look at it, there is a little absent-minded, and finally fell asleep to Lei Dong and sent it back, the little girl woke up and got angry, saying that Lei Dong was deliberately cheating, said that he was fishing with her, put her to sleep and slipped away after leaving her.
Today, Lei Dong decided to take Huang Jiangfeng's platoon to the small oasis ten miles to the east, where a group of natives lived about forty people, and the people who led half of the team counted themselves as exactly thirty people, five Humvees and one pickup, and exactly five people in one car.
Yalba said ** ten miles is a straight-line distance, the actual distance to there is really about thirty kilometers away, because to bypass a quicksand area, in the desert quicksand is a terrible invisible killer, is the most ingenious mechanism designed by nature, quietly waiting for people to approach, but it murders people who are not familiar with the desert temper, experienced indigenous herders even if they accidentally fall into the quicksand, they can save themselves or wait for rescue, will not struggle in panic, that can only exacerbate fear and accelerate your death. It was also because of this quicksand that the natives of the east were reluctant to take a long detour to the village, but Mar-El would take people there every once in a while, supposedly to see if there were any slaves worth buying. The indigenous slaves came from a wide range of sources, including prisoners of war between tribes, bankrupt tribesmen, tribesmen and outsiders who offended the chiefs, and sometimes they would also capture expeditions and tourists who went deep into the desert to trade.
When passing through the quicksand area, the convoy stopped to rest, and Sadeb's face was a little pale, he had learned to ride a horse since he was a child, he had never ridden in a car, and he got motion sickness shortly after departure. In order to distract him and make him feel better, Lei Dong pointed to the distance and said, "Saddbu, what kind of bird is this?" ”
When Sadebu heard this, he became excited, took the telescope handed over by Huang Jiangfeng and leaned over it and said in surprise, "There are a lot of yellow hornbills, there should be a group of wild boars here, master, catch them alive, there are strong nets on that car, and live wild boars are very valuable." "Catching wild boars with nets? The people next to the car were a little excited, and under the arrangement of Sadeb, everyone slowly climbed up the sand dunes. (To be continued.) )
