294. Looking for General Sardinia
The pygmies had calm expressions, after all, they knew that these tall Caucasian people were saving their companions.
At this moment a pygmy ran up to the crowd and whispered something to one of the leading guys.
Claire pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the conversation between them, and vaguely she could tell that this guy was reporting the situation to their leader.
After talking for a while, I saw that the leader suddenly stuck the wooden arrow in his hand into the ground, and then said in the local language, "Brothers, put down the wooden arrow in your hand, these big men are good people." ”
With the leader's words, all the pygmies hurriedly stuck their wooden arrows in their hands into the ground.
"Big man, do you speak pygmy?" the leader walked out with his bare hands, a friendly expression.
Claire nodded, "I'll only have some." ”
"That's great, at least we can talk. The leader looked grateful, "Thank you very much for driving the crocodile away and saving my son." ”
"Is that your son?" Claire was taken aback.
"Yes, he's the greatest warrior in the entire family. The leader said with a straight face.
"No wonder he dared to fight a crocodile. Claire said.
"This crocodile's nest is around here, and it eats a lot of our people, so we have to kill it, or we won't dare to come to these waters. "The leader is serious.
The crocodile just now was at least four or five meters long and weighed hundreds of kilograms, and it was really not easy for the Pygmies, who were already very thin, to clean up this crocodile.
"Thank you very much, and as a sign of our sincerity, we give each of you a gift from us Pygmies. The leader looked respectful.
"Gifts?" Claire couldn't help frowning, to be honest, he was also curious, not knowing what gift this primitive tribe would give them.
Soon, a large pile of thumb-sized stones was brought to them in baskets by the pygmies.
These stones are all oval in shape and colorful in color, and when you pick one up and put it in your hand, you feel heavy.
All the mercenaries were given one, and Yang Tianlong and they were all seeing this kind of stone for the first time, so they couldn't put it down.
"These river stones are found in our caves, and there are not many of them. The leader explained, "It will bring you good luck by keeping it around." ”
Claire and the mercenaries thanked the leader for his generosity, and as a courtesy, they gave the Pygmies some medicine, plus two shotguns.
"These two shotguns are specifically designed to deal with crocodiles. Claire showed them how to use it.
The pygmies were also quick learners, learning how to use shotguns in just a few minutes.
"Goode......" the leader nodded.
......
Soon, under the watchful eyes of the Pygmies, they continued along the Eyre River.
If nothing else, they will be in five hours before they reach Subi.
The rest of the journey was smooth, and I even saw a few African pythons on the trunks of trees on both banks.
At eight o'clock in the evening, they arrived in the town of Subi, a small town in South Sudan.
Due to the impact of the war, the power and communication facilities here were often paralyzed, so they did not see much light when they came to Subi.
Since he couldn't contact General Sardin, the leader of the Nurtu armed forces, Claire had to take Yang Tianlong and Vasily and them directly to the town to look for them.
And Akinfeev dived underwater with a few mercenaries and took out all the weapons and ammunition.
The town is devastated, there are not many undamaged buildings, and some local people are not afraid of these damaged buildings, and still live in them.
"Hey, man, do you see General Sardinia?" Claire asked the owner of a small shop in town.
The shopkeeper shook his head, but he snorted at Claire, and he motioned to the short guy next to him to know.
"Are you looking for General Sadinia?" a black guy stood up from the ground, and only then did Yang Tianlong and the others notice that this guy was carrying a submachine gun on his back, and his face was alert.
"Yes, he's an old friend of ours. Claire said.
"How can I trust you? The black guy looked at them intently.
"It's got his business card, and a picture of me with him. Claire said as she pulled the things out of her pocket.
The black guy took the business cards and looked at the photos, and couldn't help but nod.
"Okay, come with me. ”
"Are you General Sardinia?"
"I'm his subordinate. The black boy took them and went straight to the forest.
Although this black guy led the way, Yang Tianlong and the others were all nervous, and all of them put their hands in their pockets, and if there was any wind and grass, they could shoot at any time.
Yang Tianlong also opened the electronic map, but soon he smiled bitterly and shook his head, the electronic map did not work at all in the dense forest.
Everyone is vigilant enough, and Vasily is even more behind Claire, who will be responsible for keeping Claire safe if something goes wrong.
And Liu Zhengyang put his hands in his pockets, if the black guy had a problem, then he was sure that he could shoot him in the head.
"Are you a little scared?" the black guy suddenly asked, walking a few hundred meters in the dense forest.
"What is there to be afraid of. Claire said as she looked at him intently.
"Actually, I was scared the first time I came here, but our opponents are so strong that we can only build our base in the forest. As he spoke, the black man drew a sharp knife and cut off the vines and branches that were hanging from his head.
"What's your name?" asked Claire.
"I don't have a name, they all call me goat. "The black guy looked like he wasn't even twenty years old.
"What about your parents?"
"My parents?" the black guy couldn't help but smile, showing his white teeth, "I didn't have parents since I was a child, and they said I was born in the belly of a goat. ”
"Do you think you came out of a goat's belly?" asked Claire again.
"I don't know, maybe I really came out of the belly of a goat, because I can read goats, no, all sheep, including the cliff goats on the edge of the cliff, I know what they're thinking. "The black guy had a face full of non-care.
"They must be thinking about where there is the most abundant grass, right?" Yang Tianlong couldn't help but humor at this time.
"No, the fact that they don't do the same to you means they don't say the same thing. The black guy shouted.
"How old are you?" Claire continued.
"I don't know, some of them say I'm sixteen years old, some say I'm only thirteen, it's all this damn civil war, so I don't even know what my birthday is. ”
"How about a birthday cake for you when we get back?" Vasily said quietly.
"Really?" the black guy turned around suddenly, startling them all.
Liu Zhengyang even took out a little bit of his gun.
"Really. Vasily nodded.
"That's great, I haven't eaten cake yet, I've heard that there are many kinds of cakes, do they have a coffee flavor?" the black guy smiled.
Suddenly, he made a stop-and-go motion.
"You wait for you, it's coming soon, I'll go talk to my comrades now. With that, the black boy trotted forward.
What he didn't know was that behind his back, several jet-black muzzles were already aimed at him.
Claire knew that she couldn't trust the guy in front of her too much when they first met, but she couldn't help but pray in her heart.
"Let's hope he's not a bad guy......"
