Chapter 175: A Strange Home (Part II)
With Wei Yue's shouting, from behind the ridge pointed out by Gu Weisu, a stocky black young man slowly stood up, also holding a sharpened rebar drill in his hand, and walked towards Wei Yue's location with some hesitation.
Glancing at the black young man who was ready to turn his head and run wildly, Tang Guoming looked at Wei Yue with a smile: "You gave him this Chinese name?" ”
Haha laughing, Wei Yue shook his head: "This child's name is Cuman, and he is indeed an indigenous inhabitant here, but when he was five years old, he followed his father to live near a United Nations peacekeeping barracks hundreds of kilometers away from here, and then ......"
Nodding understandingly, Tang Guoming looked at the black man who was slowly walking towards him with a smile: "Then he contacted the Chinese battalion of the peacekeeping force?" ”
Hehe chuckled, Wei Yue squeezed his eyebrows and whispered, "That's where he learned to speak Chinese, and he knows a lot of Chinese characters." Of course, he didn't know what the name meant at first, but then he understood, but he happily kept calling it down. ”
Seeing Tang Guoming and Wei Yue talking and laughing, Cuman, a young black man who had already walked into Tang Guoming and Wei Yue, finally had a little peace of mind on his face. Lowering the rebar brazing in his hand, Kuman nodded cautiously towards Tang Guoming, and said to Tang Guoming in standard Chinese: "Hello! ”
Smiling gently, Tang Guoming responded to Cuman in a harmonious voice: "Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Looking at Tang Guoming with some curiosity, Cuman still looked cautious: "Are you here....... Protecting ours? Will you get rid of those guys? They are so bad that they always come to rob our stuff and sometimes hurt our people......"
Glancing at Wei Yue, Tang Guoming whispered to Wei Yue: "There has already been a direct conflict?" How many of our people were hurt? ”
Shaking his head towards Tang Guoming, Wei Yue raised his hand and pointed to the five-star red flag flying high on the dam construction site: "Those guys are very fierce, but they also understand that they can't touch the Chinese." Our people were not injured, but the locals who worked for us were injured a lot, and some of the engineering equipment was robbed and destroyed. So now...... You see, there are not a few local natives working for us on the construction site. ”
As soon as Wei Yue's voice fell, the young man called Yannei answered Wei Yue's words: "Now those guys haven't touched the Chinese, but I feel that they are about to step on the line - it turns out that as long as we form a human wall, those guys are basically pushing and shoving, but they dare not rush through our human wall to block." But the last few times ...... The guys were pushing and shoving more and more brutally, and they even smashed our machinery and equipment with the help of more people. And in the distance, there are still some people with guns staring, and I think ......"
Stretching out his hand and patting him on the shoulder, Wei Yuehong responded: "What do you think?" Now that Old Tang is coming over with his people, I think those guys can be arrogant? Old Tang, this is not the place to talk, let's go back to the construction site! Knowing that you were coming, the brothers on the construction site took out all the good things at the bottom of their boxes. When the work is finished in the evening, let's have a good time! ”
Smiling and nodding, Tang Guoming led Wei Yue and the others towards the location of Pan Guan and the others, but said in a harmonious voice: "Since it is time to finish work in the evening, so that everyone can have time to gather, then take advantage of the now, why don't we go around the construction site again?" ”
Just a little bit of evidence, Wei Yue suddenly laughed and nodded: "Okay!" The car of a few of us is behind the mountain, let Cuman go back to the construction site first to inform the big work, and I will take you around! ”
After briefly explaining a few words to Cuman, Wei Yue excitedly led Tang Guoming and the others towards the back of the ridge. Turning his face to look at Cuman, who was running quickly down the hillside towards the construction site, Tang Guoming couldn't help but smile at Wei Yue: "It seems that Cuman's physical fitness is quite good?" Running on the hill like an antelope, the speed and agility are great. ”
Hehe chuckled, Wei Yue replied: "It's not just Cuman, the aborigines of this place used to rely on hunting for a living, holding spears and leather shields, chasing antelopes barefoot, and being able to blow up the alveoli of the antelope alive, and their physical fitness is very good." That is, in the last twenty or thirty years, because of the environmental impact, the animals began to decrease, and they began to gradually change in the direction of farming. ”
Squeezing his eyes at Pan Guan, Tang Guoming continued to ask, "That means that these aborigines are familiar with the local terrain?" ”
Wei Yue nodded: "Their ancestors have lived here for generations, and it can be said that within a radius of one hundred and ten miles, where there is a single grass missing, they can see it." ”
Blinking his eyes, Pan Guan suddenly asked, "Then in the lower reaches of the river, are these aborigines familiar with the areas where Khat grass is grown?" ”
Without waiting for Wei Yue to speak, the Yanei who walked beside Wei Yue was the first to speak: "That place was originally a hunting ground for the local aborigines. Because beasts can't live without water, especially in the early morning and late afternoon, large numbers of beasts go to a backwater bay in the lower reaches of the river to drink. But after the place was occupied and planted with khat grass, a large number of wild animals were either driven away or slaughtered, and a good hunting ground became a drug planting area. This, combined with the large amount of water required to grow khat grass, has led to a drop in the water level downstream of the backwater bay, and sometimes even a ...... of interruption."
Smiling and looking at the Yanei who looked like a Sven person, Tang Guoming smiled harmoniously: "It seems that you have done a lot of homework?" ”
Nodding solemnly, Yanai replied, "This is the necessary work for the construction of water conservancy projects. We have calculated that if the area near the backwater bay is not planted with something that requires a lot of water, such as khat grass, the flow of the river after passing through the dam will definitely not have a destructive impact on the local natural ecology. ”
Tang Guoming: "In other words...... Where did you go? ”
Shaking his head in amazement, Yanai exclaimed with some surprise: "How is this possible? The guys who planted the khat grass were crazy, and our surveyors were still a few kilometers away from them before the guys were already shooting at the vehicle! If it weren't for the old drivers we were driving, I'm afraid we would all have to eat guns! ”
frowned suddenly, but Gu Weisu said suddenly: "Are they strafing or single point shots?" Have you been shot in your car? ”
After thinking for a while, Yanai shook his head: "I remember...... There should have been a single burst of fire, and there was also strafing, and there were no bullets in the car, and we came back to check the vehicle to make sure there were none! ”
Looking at Yanai with interest, Pan Guan smiled and said, "Are you sure?" When you are terrified, you can still tell the difference between a single burst fire and a strafing fire? ”
Rolling his eyes at Pan Guan, Yanei snorted a little unconvinced: "I went to university in Nanjing back then, and all the instructors who gave us military training were invited by the Nanjing Military Region, but I was the one who really touched the gun!" ”
Smiling and nodding at the Ya Nei, Tang Guoming said in a harmonious voice: "Nanjing Hohai University is the No. 1 water conservancy professional school in China. After graduating there, he also volunteered to come to Africa...... Attaboy! ”
