: 428 Deep into the Congo Rainforest

At the farmer's market, many people gathered around, and the place where Chen Rui was standing was completely blocked.
At this time, the guide Labach Kamba whispered something to those people, and then showed them pictures.
Then, those people murmured loudly.
Chen Rui looked at Labak Kamba and said in English, "How about, did you get some useful clues from them?"
"!" Rabac Kamba waved his hand and said, "They are just curious about the dinosaurs in the picture."
They left the farmers market in disappointment.
Next, Labak Kamba took Chen Rui to the nearby river banks and villages living on the edge of the rainforest, hoping to get some clues.
After a few days, there was no clue.
Chen Rui is going to travel upstream along the Congo River, into the jungle, and go to the most primitive and barren places in the world, looking for the tribes living in the depths of the rainforest. I hope to find these people who have dealt with the jungle for a lifetime. To some clues.
However, Chen Rui is very unfamiliar with this vast expanse, which is second only to the tropical rainforest in the Amazon Basin, and the Congo rainforest, which is known as the "second lung of the earth."
It is very difficult for Chen Rui to find the primitive tribe living in the jungle by himself, to communicate with the people of the primitive tribe, and to inquire about clues.
Therefore, Chen Rui needs several guides who are willing to join him in the Congo rainforest.
These guides are required to be very familiar with the environment of the rainforest.
It is also required to be able to understand Lingala, or Kygocon, Cheluba and Swahili, one of the Swahili languages.
Chen Rui briefly explained his requirements to Labak Kamba, and offered him $ 4,000 to hire him, asking if he would like to continue to be his own guide. Into the rainforest.
$ 4,000 is a very large sum of money.
In a simple comparison, China has many mining companies in the DRC.
A black temporary worker is paid 1,500 Congolese francs a day, about $ 1.75. That's about 10 yuan. Many people are willing to do it.
A monthly salary of $ 200 is in the middle class in the DRC.
$ 4,000 is a very large sum of money. Labaki Kamba is certainly very willing.
Chen Rui also asked Rabacchi Campa to find three more guides, with an employment price of 3,000 US dollars, 1,000 less than Rabac Campba, and a dozen security guards to protect everyone's safety.
The third day.
Labaki Kamba found 3 guides and more than a dozen security guards Chen Rui needed.
A dozen security guards also took guns.
Chen Rui was about to set off and walked along the Congo River.
Because the Congo River is very fast. In particular, after the Congo River passed Kinshasa and Brazzaville, there was a rapidly descending watershed called a waterfall.
But because the amount of water is too large, people cannot see the real waterfall, and the rapids are displayed in front of people.
If it can be counted as a waterfall, it is the waterfall with the highest flow rate and the fastest flow rate in the world.
The ship was unable to sail up the rapids.
Guided by the guide, had to walk along the river bank.
Because this way, it is not easy to get lost in the vast rainforest, and. It's easier to find tribes living in the rainforest.
Because most of the tribes live along the river.
Rivers can provide them with sufficient water, and more. It can also bring them a wealth of food. There are many fish in the Congo River, and the Congo river bank is home to a very large variety of wild animals.
Chen Rui walked in the middle.
Today Chen Rui wears a jungle hat, a denim shirt on his upper body, fast-drying loose pants on his lower body, military shoes on his feet, and a canvas waterproof backpack.
Although the guide in the team, the security guard was not as formal as Chen Rui, but he also covered his body tightly. A legging was hit on the foot with a cloth strip.
In the jungle, you have to dress like this.
As a result, there are many poisonous snakes in the jungle.
Second. Second, to prevent mosquitoes, it is the rainy season. It is the time when mosquitoes multiply, and the weather is sultry, the vegetation in the jungle is dense, dark and humid, and it breeds mosquitoes. There are so many mosquitoes, like the bombers of World War II.
Congolese mosquitoes are more poisonous than domestic mosquitoes and are more susceptible to malaria. Malaria in the DRC is very frequent, and if it is not cured, it will definitely be fatal.
The number of people who die each year in the DRC is equal to the number of people killed in a medium-sized war.
Even the lives of Congolese people are worthless.
But no one wants to make fun of their own lives.
Chen Rui followed the team walking in the rain forest. The lush plants blocked the sunlight. Through the lush foliage, the vines could reach the ground with very little sunlight. The surrounding environment was very dark and humid. The ground was covered with leaves and plants. In the air, there will be smell in the air.
A variety of hi-shady snakes infested.
It was just a heavy rain today.
The rainy season in the DRC is from November to May.
At this time in November, the rainy season in the Democratic Republic of Congo has just arrived. Basically, it rains every 2 to 3 days.
Chen Rui's clothes were soaked, and slid smoothly on the skin. Coupled with the sultry weather, Chen Rui was very uncomfortable.
"Let's have a rest," Chen Rui said.
Chen Rui found that the black man's physical strength was very good. His body carrying two to thirty kilograms of salute walked for several kilometers in the jungle continuously, and he looked very relaxed, and he didn't breathe.
In fact, it is true. The physical fitness of whites and yellows is far inferior to that of blacks. Many long-distance runners and sprint champions in the world are almost all black. The long-distance race in East Africa and the short-distance race in West Africa mean that the Olympic men's 10,000-meter long race was monopolized by black players whose ancestors came from East Africa, while the 100-meter sprint was monopolized by black players whose ancestors came from West Africa.
Everyone sat down ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Drink a little water, ate some dry food, and left for half an hour before proceeding.
--------
Walked in the dense rain forest for 3 or 4 days.
Finally came to a black village.
The village is very humble.
The houses are all thatched houses, and a frame is made of wood that can be felled at random nearby, covered with leaves, thatched grass, and then covered with mud, which is their residence.
A house like this can only be sheltered from the wind and rain. When it comes to heavy rain, it can only hold the Buddha's feet temporarily. Wherever the water is bad, it is blocked.
Chen Rui walked over.
People in this village may not have seen foreigners for a long time.
Everyone in the village ran out.
Curiously looked at Chen Rui and his party. (To be continued)
