The child may be a little scared, hiding timidly behind his parents, or hiding behind a thatch, looking at Chen Rui with curious eyes.
All Chen Rui saw were the elderly, women, children, and the elderly.
At this point, a guide named Barbara walked over and murmured something.
Then, an elder in the village murmured a few words.
Barbara said to Chen Rui in English, "He is the patriarch of the village, Babul, and he welcomes the guests."
"Thank you very much," Chen Rui said.
Barbara translated Chen Rui's words to Barbro.
Chen Rui took a pack of candy from the backpack, opened the package, and gave them one by one. No matter the elderly, women, and children, they were all three candies.
Giving gifts is the best way to get involved.
Wait for a pack of sugar to run out.
The people in the village immediately became very enthusiastic about Chen Rui.
At this time, Chen Rui asked a question in his heart, ‘why did n’t a mature man in the village see it. ’
Barbara translated Chen Rui's words.
Bablo replied, "They are fishing by the river."
Chen Rui was very curious about how they fished. You know, the river here is very fast and it is a rapid.
Babulu took Chen Rui to the river.
Only then did Chen Rui understand how they were fishing in a very rapid, rapids river.
Their fishing style is very special.
They set up a wooden shelf in the rapids and put some fishing baskets on the wooden shelf.
As for fish, the water flow of the Congo River is very strong. Even big fish such as tiger fish cannot resist the strong current. The fish pushed back by the current will fall into the fishing basket.
Babro murmured beside him.
Barbara translates Barbro's words.
"They take the raft daily to the place where the fishing baskets are placed in the rapids and check the fishing baskets. They check them twice a day, once at 6am and once at 5pm."
"They are fishing very dangerously. When they are in a fishing basket. If the fishing basket falls into the water, they will not be able to get out. Every year, 1 or 2 people are killed while fishing, victims Will be washed away by the strong current. "
Chen Rui nodded.
Chen Rui also found that they were used to holding fish in their mouths, and asked Barbara curiously.
Barbara said, "This is because they think they are the offspring of the turtle, and when they catch the turtle, they release it immediately."
Chen Rui saw that they had harvested all the fish in the fishing basket.
They immediately distributed the fish by the shore, and they distributed the fish evenly regardless of their contribution. The fish caught are evenly divided into piles according to their size.
Seniors are selected first.
At this time, Barbara said to Chen Rui, "Sometimes, in the process of distributing labor results, they will have disputes. When there is a quarrel, neither fishing nor fish division, they will hold a ceremony by the river, Patriarch used a chicken to worship the ancestors.
They thought that there were elves in the Congo who controlled their fate. Vata was one of them. Vata looked like a mermaid. The awesome Vata controls seven snakes. People living on the coast of the Congo are in awe of Vata. Locals would even ask missionaries from afar to offer chicken heads to Vata, who lives in the waters of the Congo River rapids. The locals are very scared. "
At night, night fell.
The village chief Pablo led the people warmly to entertain Chen Rui and his party.
On an open lot in the village.
A huge bonfire was lit.
The villagers danced hand in hand around the bonfire.
Two village men are wrestling to show their strength.
After that, the food was taken up.
Fish is a better food.
The other two 'pots' (the pots are actually tin cans) don't know what food is in them.
A pot is filled with things like batter. When they eat, there is no tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, forks, etc. When eating, grab the batter directly from the "pot" with your hands and knead them. Eat with the soup in another "pot".
Another "pot" filled with soup that I don't know what leaves to boil.
"What is this?" Chen Rui asked.
Before Barbara spoke, Rabac Kamba said. "This is cassava, our main food. The roots of cassava are rich in starch, and the leaves of cassava are the most important vegetables. After cassava harvest, we will cut the cassava roots, put them in sacks and tie them, and put them in the river. Fermented in the sludge, dried and ground into powder, then put the flour into the 'pot' with water, and while stirring, continue to stir with a wooden stick until a certain consistency is reached, and then add salt, pepper and tomato sauce. "Said After that, Rabac Kamba pointed to another 'pot' and continued, "This pot is made from cassava leaves, onions and tomato sauce."
"It tastes very good, you can try it." Barbara said to Chen Rui.
Chen Rui grabbed a batter, kneaded it into a ball, dipped the soup in another "pot" and put it in his mouth.
Taste, how to say it, very unpalatable!
There is a strong smell, like the smell of stinky drains. Then, it is very spicy and hotter than domestic millet peppers. Finally, the salt, pepper, and ketchup are inexplicably seasoning, and the mouth is like overturning the seasoning box. The taste is mixed.
This is the worst food ever eaten by Chen Rui.
Forcibly swallowed the dough on the hands, and then never touched the so-called delicious food.
Chen Rui did not forget the purpose of this trip, took a watch from a rucksack and handed it to Babro as a gift.
Barbru put away his watch, obviously very happy.
Chen Rui said to Babro, "Can I ask you some questions?"
Barbara is acting as a translator next to it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Yes. Said Barbro.
Chen Rui took some pictures from the rucksack and handed it to Babro asking, "Do you see animals or birds in the jungle or in the river that look very similar to the animals in the picture?"
Bablo took a look at the picture and said, "I haven't seen it."
Hearing that, Chen Rui was a little disappointed.
"However, there is a legend that has been circulating in our tribe for hundreds of years. There is a kind of human-eating bird called a horror bird, which is very large and very tall, standing taller than us. The mouth is very large, the front end of the upper beak is very hooked, and the horror bird will often attack humans. It uses a very hooked beak to peck off a person's head and eat it. The horror bird is very similar to the animal in this picture. Babulu pointed to a picture and said to Chen Rui.
Chen Rui took the picture and looked at it.
"Can you draw pictures of horror birds according to legend." Chen Rui said to Babro. (To be continued)
