36 African ornaments
Carl and Missouri walked from noon to three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Missouri said to Carl, "Admiral, we're done walking this street." Shall we drive somewhere else? ”
"Then you drive, I really don't know how to drive this." Carl said to Missouri in embarrassment. The two of them drove around the city, which was about half an hour's drive from the Governor's Palace of Africa.
While driving past a jewelry store, Carl said to Missouri, "Stop here, I'm going to buy something for my sister,"
"Admiral, I'm going with you?"
"No, just wait for me in the car."
"Welcome! What kind of jewelry do you need, sir? The clerk at the jewelry store said to Carl.
"Do you have any special accessories here?" Carl asked.
"What do you mean by a unique accessory?" The clerk was puzzled.
"It's unique to you, and it's not found anywhere else." Carl explained.
"So you want that kind of thing!" The clerk suddenly realized, and then she said: "Then I suggest you go to this place, everything in this store is unique to Africa and absolutely meets your requirements." He then gave Carl a business card with his address on it.
Carl left the jewelry store with the business card given by the clerk, and the moment he closed the door, he vaguely heard the clerk who had just received him discussing him in a whisper: "What a human being who can't be seen!" A handsome guy who looks white and clean, but his face is so dark! I still need those metaphysical things to add up. ”
"Yes, yes, I thought it was a European admiral who was full of European spirit, but it turned out to be an African admiral who was no different from those Africans." Another clerk's voice rang out, followed by the manager's voice: "Okay, okay, it's work time!" Beware of me deducting your wages for this month! ”
Carl muttered as he walked in the direction of the car, "Strange, why do they say I'm black-faced?" I'm not black-faced, huh? ”
After getting into the car, Missouri asked, "Admiral, have you bought your sister's jewelry?" Karl replied, "No, the clerk at the jewelry store gave me a business card and said that I could buy special jewelry here at the address provided here." "Then let's go here."
After several questions with passers-by, Carl and Missouri finally arrived at the address provided on the business card.
Carl looked at the shop in front of him, whose door was closed and there was no clue on the outside, and once again lowered his head to confirm the card in his hand: "Missouri, this is 227 Eighth Avenue in the 17th block. We shouldn't be wrong, right? Missouri took Carl's business card and compared it with the door number hanging outside: "That's right, it's here." ”
Karl stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon the door creaked open. An old man with a wrinkled face poked his head out: "Who are you looking for here?" ”
"It's such an old man, I want to buy some African accessories. Someone gave me a business card and I followed the address above to visit you. I want to buy some souvenirs unique to Africa from you. Karl said to the old man.
When the old man heard this, he shook his head and sighed, "Another poor child." He said to Karl, "Come in, poor boy." The shaman will bless you! Carl was puzzled by the old man's words, but he still followed the old man into the house with Missouri.
When Carl entered the house, the old man closed the door and said to Carl with open hands, "Welcome to the Tribal House!" It's a paradise for all Africans, and everything you want can be fulfilled here! So, son, tell the old shaman what you need. Is it the Dao Talisman of the Oriental Immortals? Or the holy water of the Western God? Or the scepter of ancient Egypt? Or is it all sorts of weird things? ”
Karl asked the old man with doubts: "Sir, I am obviously here to buy special African ornaments!" But you don't have any African jewelry! ”
"Young kids! Mount Kilimanjaro protects every African, and there is no need to hide it. Africa is characterized by all sorts of admirals who tried to smuggle themselves into Europe, but they all failed. So, in the eyes of the old shaman, you are just another African who wants to smuggle into Europe. ”
Carl was stunned by what the old man said, and he said to the old man speechlessly: "That, old man." I'm just a tourist and want to bring back some unique trinkets from here in Africa. It's not like you're talking about Africans! ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then asked Carl suspiciously: "Then why did someone give you this business card?" This business card is specially sent to those black-faced admirals who can't be shipped, why do you have it? Carl told the old man what had happened in the jewelry store before, and the old man couldn't laugh or cry like Carl.
"So you just want to buy some accessories with African characteristics to take home with you?" The old man asked.
"yes, who knew there would be such a big oolong... Carl looked at his watch, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He said anxiously to the old man, "It's too late to go anywhere else, it's almost time for dinner." ”
"Kid, do you know what Africa's special ornaments are?" The old man asked Carl.
"I don't know." Carl answered honestly.
"Africa's most distinctive ornament is actually a spear!" The old man's astonishing remarks made both Carl and Missouri shudder. "Do you mean that?" Suddenly, Missouri reacted.
"Which one do you mean?" Carl asked Missouri confused.
"Admiral, have you forgotten what your predecessor said about 'Ou eats spears'?" Missouri asked Carl rhetorically.
"This... That's ridiculous, isn't it? Could it be that the so-called special ornament is a spear? Carl said he couldn't accept it.
"That's right! Africa's characteristic ornament is the spear that condenses the resentment of countless Africans! Whenever a European appeared, they would raise their tribal spears and point them at the Europeans. The words 'Ou eats spear' and 'Ou eats spear' can make Europeans feel their powerful resentment. The old man took Missouri's words and explained.
"It's a spear for a long time! Alas, what girl would like to hold a spear as jewelry! It's going to be laughed at! Carl said dejectedly.
"Sorry to bother you, old man. We still have some things that we won't bother with here. Soon after figuring out the African ornaments, Carl and Missouri said goodbye to the old man.
After leaving the tribal house, Carl and Missouri had a hasty dinner and were about to return to the governor's palace. At this time, there was some commotion in the crowd on the street, and from time to time someone shouted: "There is an event!" There is an event in the public builder! Carl and Missouri decided to check it out.
