Chapter 7: Tribes

"Anyi, we are all tired and need to take a good rest. ”

An Yi listened to her husband's persuasion, fell into deep thought, and ran out of two strange people in the desert in the middle of the night, with bows and arrows on them, it was not a good idea to go to that village with them, but her husband kept insisting, although her sister was silent, it seemed that she wanted to go, so she had to agree.

Kaiming and two locals were walking in the desert, and An Yi and his sister returned to the car, and the SUV followed them slowly. Except for the small area in front of the two lights, the surroundings are as dark as ink, and An Yi keeps observing the surroundings and always paying attention to her husband's safety.

"Sister, Brother Kai Ming has a gun in his hand, are you still afraid that he will be taken by a jackal?"

"After a series of terrible events, I can't let my guard down now. She replied.

Angel recalled that when she was chased by a monster, her hands trembled unconsciously, "This world must be crazy." ”

After ten minutes of walking, a dry basin appeared, and around a few dejected conifers, I saw a row of village houses made of wood. The village houses are next to each other, and there are only about a dozen households.

An Yi looked out of the windshield to see the village lit a bonfire, and men, women, and children, many of whom were missing arms and legs, knew it was the result of inbreeding.

After hearing the sound of the car, they stopped dancing and froze in front of the fire one by one, staring at the outsiders like a piece of wood, and the straight gaze made An Yi feel uncomfortable.

Not wanting to look at them, she looked elsewhere, and found a string of human skulls hanging in front of the doors of all the huts, tied with straw rope and hanging from the eaves and swinging in the wind.

The two guides returned to their relatives and friends, and after a hug, they told them something.

An Yi and her sister got out of the car and stood with her husband, not knowing what these Africans were talking about, but judging from the gestures of pointing and pointing, it seemed to be describing the encounter with outsiders to the tribe.

"Woohoo. There was a shrill cheer from deep in their throats, and everyone rushed over and pulled the three guests to the campfire.

These shirtless black men danced around them, and An Yi panicked, and several times, he was almost slashed by the bone knife in their hands.

Everyone walked around twice in front of the fire, and three outsiders were arranged to sit closest to the fire, where they were invited to taste roast meat and sour wine.

An Yi looked at the piece of mutton that had been burned in her hand, took a small bite, and the thick smell of smoke made her spit it out immediately, and when no one was paying attention, she threw the piece of meat into the fire.

With this experience, she did not dare to taste the sour wine in the clay bowl again, and looked to the side, but her husband and sister drank it in large gulps.

She didn't want to stay here, so she went back to the car under the pretext of being unwell, closed the door, and quietly watched the revelers.

The husband came over with a bottle of wine, snuggled up to the car window and asked, "Anyi, are you okay?"

She looked at him and said, "This place makes me feel uncomfortable. ”

"You're so sensitive, and I think the people here are very welcoming. He took a sip of wine, then handed the clay vase over, "Take a sip? ”

She pushed the bottle away and said, "Everything here is like a curse." ”

"Cursed?" said the husband, with a surprised expression, "I didn't expect you to believe this." ”

"I didn't believe it before today, but seeing is believing. ”

He reached over and stroked his wife's cheek, "You need to relax." ”

She grabbed the warm palm and said, "Kaiming, this place is not quite right, you look at the human skulls hanging in front of the door." ”

"It's nothing, maybe it's a local custom where they would worship the skulls of their ancestors in their homes," he said. ”

An Yi shook his head, "I don't think it's out of respect to hang them in front of the door, and the owners of these skulls were all young when they died, and many of them were children. They must have an ulterior motive for living in a deserted place away from crowds. ”

"There are primitive tribes in many parts of the world, and we cannot classify them as an evil race because of prejudice. ”

Kai Ming wanted to continue to persuade, but his wife was silent, so he thought for a while, "An Yi, come here, I have something to make you feel safe." ”

As she approached the window, he kissed her on the cheek and handed her a handful.

Angel shouted over the campfire, and An Yi watched her husband run over happily. The men began to dance again, not knowing whether it was the fire of passion or the sweet wine that was at work.

An Yi leaned back on the comfortable chair, and her eyes gradually closed.

The wind blew through the village, the trees shook restlessly, the fire rose higher, and the skulls of the men hanging in front of the door collided with each other and rattled.

An Yi woke up from her sleep.

The crowd had dispersed, the fire was still burning, and Chemin and Angel were lying motionless on the ground as two Africans dragged them to a well.

She immediately pushed the car door open and ran over with her gun in hand, "Let them go, or I'll shoot." ”

The Africans froze in place, but didn't let go of Kemin and Angel. An Yi didn't care whether they understood it or not, he shot directly into the air, and the Africans ran away.

She crouched down to check, but fortunately her husband and sister were breathing and pulse, and all the Africans had gone somewhere, and there was a wooden shed full of strips of meat in front of it, and a dry well next to it, in which there was not a drop of water, but a pile of human bones.

She immediately pulled back, moved her husband and sister into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the SUV left the village.

In the dark desert, she didn't dare to drive around, parked the car on a dirt slope, looked at the clock, it was already three o'clock in the morning, she held a gun in both hands, and silently waited for the sunrise in the car.

When Kemin woke up, he found that the car had left the village, and his wife and sister-in-law were sleeping in the car, and he carefully removed the handle of the gun that his wife was pillowing.

The sun shone slightly in the sky, and a small yellow column of water fell on the gravel, and then quickly seeped into the ground, Kai Ming pulled the zipper and looked up at the thick dark clouds in the sky, since he stepped on this land, he could no longer see the sun, everything here was so mysterious and unpredictable.

Rustling

He heard a strange noise, and at the same time there was a sharp pain in his left foot, and when he looked down, he saw a sharp bone knife piercing his heel, running from the outside of his ankle to the inside, the tip of the knife dripping with blood, and the other end was held by a withered hand, which came out of the sand.

He sat on the sand, clutching his bleeding ankle. At this moment, the man hiding in the sand crawled out, a dwarf, and although his face was covered with dust, he could recognize it as the dwarf he had met by chance last night.

The dwarf's face was expressionless, and with a jerk, the bone knife broke away from Kaiming's ankle alive.

"Oh my God, what the hell are you doing?" Cavein clutched his bleeding wound and stared at the dwarf with the bone knife raised, the tip of which poked quickly into his cheek.

The screams woke up the dreamer, An Yi saw her husband entangled with the dwarf in the sand through the car window, she picked up the * on the seat and rushed over,

bang

The gunshot rang out, and the unexpected backlash sent her to the ground, and her husband's ankle was bleeding, and she was shocked, fearing that she had just shot him by mistake.

Kemin pushed away the dwarf pressing on him and said to his wife, "Don't worry, you're doing a great job. ”

A large hole exploded in the dwarf's back, and flesh was blurred.

An Yi threw away the gun, ran to her husband's side, and strangled his bleeding foot with the coat he had taken off.

"The bleeding has stopped, can I move my feet?" she asked.

"It hurts, maybe the ligament in the back heel has ruptured. Cumming frowned and looked at the dwarf, "Why did he attack me? ”

An Yi put her husband's arm on her shoulder and helped him stand up, "He eats human flesh, and the whole village is a cannibal." ”

"Cannibal?" his mouth couldn't close for a long time.

The two walked towards the car, and suddenly, two Africans appeared on the sand dunes on the left, and they crawled out of the sand with bows and arrows, and the arrows were aimed directly at the people below.

The wife didn't notice this, and the arrow went off the string for a moment, Kaiming pushed her away, and the two of them, who had lost their center of gravity, fell to the ground, and the bow and arrow were stuck two inches away from Kaiming's body.

Another draw of the bow sent arrows down the hill, and the two of them had nowhere to dodge.

At this time, the off-road vehicle rushed out from the side, blocking the flying arrows on the body of the car, An Yi hit the steering wheel and shouted outside: "Get in the car." When Kaiming and An Yi sat in the car, she stepped on the accelerator sharply, and the car rushed down the slope in a chaotic attack.

"Oh my God, why did this happen as soon as I woke up?" An Yi turned around and looked at the two weirdos on the dunes in a panic.

"Watch out ahead. My sister suddenly said loudly.

Angel straightened his gaze, and another strange man emerged from the sand, standing in the direction of the car, and he threw stones, and the windshield of the car rattled and cracks spread like spider webs.

The view ahead was blocked, but Angel didn't dare to slow down, the wheels jolted, the car seemed to hit something, and when she turned back, the strange man was already lying in the back of the car.

"I killed someone!" she spun the wheel in a panic, causing the car to sway left and right.

"Calm down, they're all cannibals going to hell. The sister put her hand on her shoulder, "I'm going to check Kaimin's injury now, I need you to keep an eye on the front and don't let the car go wrong, okay?"

Angel calmed down and nodded silently.

"Your ankle hurts your blood vessels, but luckily you don't hurt your ligaments, and you won't be able to walk like a normal person for days. An Yi tore off the strip of cloth on his jacket, wrapped it around Kaiming's ankle three times, and tied a small knot.

"What the hell did I do wrong, they didn't do it to me. Kaiming gritted his teeth and said.

An Yi glanced at him, "What were you doing outside the car at that time?"

"It wasn't because the urine splashed on him that he stabbed me with a knife, right?"

"Yes, they may have the ability to foresee, and they are ambushed here early in the morning, and the knife is just right for your leg. ”

Kaiming listened, and said no more.

Angel turned back to her sister and said, "They still entertained us warmly last night, why did they suddenly want to commit murder?"

An Yi said: "They are cannibals, proficient in hunting skills, as long as they seize the opportunity, they will not hesitate to let us become one of the bones of the dry well." ”
