Chapter 790: Together
In order to show that he was not hostile, Pang Ji hurriedly raised his hands, and then communicated with the other party in the local language.
After about two minutes, the older cannibal ran towards the forest, while the others stayed in the area and continued to monitor Qin Xiaolong and them.
"Mr. Shen, I told them just now that we are Jonathan's friends, and they asked us to wait here, and Jonathan will come over in person in a while."
Pang Ji explained to Shen Jianghe.
"Got it."
Shen Jianghe replied, and then everyone waited patiently in place.
After more than forty minutes, the cannibal finally returned, followed by five people, one of whom was none other than Jonathan.
"Uncle Shen, Brother Long!"
Seeing Shen Jianghe and them, Jonathan's face immediately showed ecstasy.
"Jonathan, how is Jay now?"
Shen Jianghe couldn't wait to ask about his son's situation.
"He was shot in the leg, but it's not life-threatening except that it's not easy to walk, and I can take you to see him now."
With that, Jonathan spoke a few more words to the cannibal in the local language.
After making sure that Qin Xiaolong and they were not enemies, the cannibals relaxed their vigilance.
Next, led by Jonathan, the group set out to head to the cannibal tribe.
After exchanges, Qin Xiaolong learned that this cannibal tribe was known locally as the Karrowi.
The Karlowi have always lived in isolation, they are very xenophobic and territorial, and any intruder will be killed and eaten.
But the situation has improved since four years ago.
At that time, a jeweler came to Jonathan's and bought the skull of the helmeted hornbill at a high price, and the cannibal territory happened to be inhabited by a large number of helmeted hornbills.
In China, helmeted hornbills are known as prison birds, and hunting is strictly prohibited, but no one cares about them here.
So in recent years, Jonathan has been trading with cannibals.
The cannibals provided him with the skulls of helmeted hornbills, and he provided the cannibals with food and weapons, and the relationship between the two sides was always good.
Because of this, Jonathan chose to flee to cannibal territory to avoid being pursued.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Xiaolong and the others came to a valley.
There are many thatched huts built in the valley, and a cannibal dressed in animal skins or grass skirts is busy everywhere.
When they saw Qin Xiaolong and a group of "aliens" like them suddenly appear, those cannibals looked over one after another as if they had discovered a new continent.
Qin Xiaolong and the others were calm as usual, and after a while, Qin Xiaolong and the others walked to the center of the cannibal tribe.
There are three bonfires lit here, and one person is roasted on each of them!
On the side of the campfire, there is a large flat rock, and a group of young cannibals are eating roasted human flesh!
“yUe!”
Seeing this scene, Pang Ji's stomach instantly turned upside down, and he directly covered his stomach and vomited.
Pang Ji had long heard that the cannibals in the Roa Forest were not yet civilized and that there was a bad habit of cannibalism, but he had always heard about it, and seeing it with his own eyes today really scared him to the point that his legs went limp.
Qin Xiaolong's resistance was stronger than Pang Ji's, but seeing people eating people with their own eyes, their faces were also a little unsightly.
"Jonathan, haven't you been feeding the cannibals, why do they still eat people?"
Shen Jianghe couldn't help but ask.
"These people who were eaten were the Luba people who came to hunt me down and were captured, and according to the cannibal customs, all the captives were sacrificed to the gods, and the flesh was eaten by them, so that their warriors would become stronger."
"This custom has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years in the Carowe tribe, and although they have rarely eaten people in recent years, it is certainly not realistic to expect them to live a completely civilized life."
Jonathan explained with a wry smile.
He had also communicated with the chieftain of this cannibal tribe before, hoping that they could change the bad habit of cannibalism and accept modern civilization.
But they didn't listen to him at all.
In order to avoid making enemies with the cannibals, he didn't meddle anymore.
"What a barbarian."
Xiao Jian couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't do a lot of killing, but he couldn't accept cannibalism.
In his mind, it was almost no different from a beast.
However, seeing the cannibals here eat with relish one by one, it is obvious that they have long been accustomed to it.
"Jonathan, you guys aren't eating human flesh here, are you?"
Qin Xiaolong hurriedly asked.
"Of course not, we've been eating wild boar for the past two days."
Jonathan replied immediately.
They are all civilized people, and even if they starve to death, it is impossible for them to eat human flesh.
"That's good."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaolong didn't say anything more.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Shen Jie and them."
In order not to let Qin Xiaolong be stimulated again, Jonathan immediately led them through the square to the innermost part of the valley.
There is a cave here, which was originally the "mansion" of the cannibal chieftain, but since Jonathan and his arrival, it has become a temporary residence for Jonathan and his family.
"Applejack, Xiaoxue, look who's coming!"
Jonathan shouted at Shen Jie and them in the cave.
"Dad!"
"Brother!"
Shen Jie and Qin Qianxue's faces showed excitement at the same time, and Qin Qianxue ran to Qin Xiaolong's side and hugged him as fast as she could.
"Brother, you're finally here, woo woo, I thought I'd never see you again."
Qin Qianxue said with rain.
Originally, Qin Qianxue came to Congo just to experience the customs of Africa, but she didn't expect to witness a massacre with her own eyes!
Even if she successfully escaped to the cannibals, she still had a worried past two days, for fear that the Luba people would chase them all here.
"It's okay, it's okay, with my brother here, no one wants to hurt you."
Qin Xiaolong hurriedly appeased Qin Qianxue.
A few minutes later, after Qin Qianxue's mood had stabilized, Qin Xiaolong came to Shen Jie's side and examined his wound.
The injury is indeed not serious, and the herbs have been applied, and it should be fine after a few more days of rest.
Immediately after, Qin Xiaolong turned his gaze to Tang Ling'er in the corner of the cave.
Tang Linger sat alone by the campfire, looking so lonely, and her face was obviously a little lonely and haggard.
"Ling'er, are you okay?"
Qin Xiaolong came to Tang Ling'er's side and asked her with concern.
"I'm fine."
Tang Linger replied with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll take you back home safely."
Qin Xiaolong then said to Tang Ling'er.
Tang Ling'er is Qin Qianxue's classmate and Tang Caiyi's cousin, so he will take on the responsibility of taking care of each other.
