Chapter Sixteen Girl 2
A figure stood up and closed the door, flashing in front of Zhou Jiping's eyes, blocking the light that hit Zhou Jiping. Zhou Jiping squinted and took a peek. A slender figure moved very gently, as if he was afraid of waking himself up. After a while, he slowly
The prayer started again, and the woman's voice was like a magical spell. Zhou Jiping felt so tired and his head felt heavy...
A stream of liquid flowed into Zhou Jiping's mouth, moistening his throat and chapped lips bit by bit. Instinctively swallowing, Zhou Jiping woke up from his sleep.
The firelight shone in through the crack in the door, allowing Zhou Jiping to vaguely see the face of the person in front of him - a dark-skinned girl, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. Among the black people Zhou Jiping had seen, she was pretty pretty.
, her eyes are relatively big, her nose is delicate, and her lips are relatively thick, but they are moderately thick. When I raise my hand, I can see that she is very thin, and her arms are slender and slender - girls in China dream of looking like this. From the perspective of aesthetic habits,
, she has some Chinese facial features, so it is easier for Zhou Jiping to accept her, plus she was saved by someone else.
Seeing Zhou Jiping open his eyes and look at herself, the girl was a little nervous at first, then smiled again, revealing a pair of neat white teeth, and her eyes showed joy - the teeth are so white! They can reflect the firelight outside.

"Isn't it flooded twice as much?" the girl said to Zhou Jiping. Only then did Zhou Jiping realize that the door was open, it was already dark outside, and the firelight not far outside the door shone into the house through the open door.
"Hello?" Seeing that Zhou Jiping didn't understand the indigenous language, the girl actually said something in English
Zhou Jiping felt happy. There were people here who knew English. It seemed that the level of civilization was not low. Going home was easy.
"Hello!" Zhou Jiping said seriously to the girl
"How do you do? (How are you?)" the girl thought for a while and then said
"hankyou(I'm fine, you saved me? Thank you)"
Hearing Zhou Jiping speak, the girl thought for a while and smiled happily.
"It seems that the English level is very poor, but I can still communicate. It's not bad. I just need to explain things clearly. Why do you ask for so much!" Zhou Jiping thought in his mind.
By the light of the fire, Zhou Jiping saw that the girl was holding his own kettle. After thinking about it, what she drank for him just now was probably not water, but liquid food, a bit salty - just in time, he was in urgent need of it.
He took the pot from the girl's hand and drank it for himself. What was it? It had a salty taste in the mouth, a bit of a strange smell, and there were some small hard lumps, like broken plant tubers, but they were still edible.
Just living a poor life and experiencing extreme training in the military camp, Zhou Jiping swallowed these things without even thinking about it.
The two of them were silent for a while, then the girl pointed at the pot in Zhou Jiping's hand and asked, "Yan Ken Feng Jie?"
He probably asked himself if he wanted more, "no!" It's not that Zhou Jiping was being polite, but that his stomach would protest after eating a lot of unfamiliar things. That's how people are, as long as they are a little hungry, their stomachs will respond.
It’s a special adaptability of the human body to open the door to things that you usually don’t accept.
"My name iselina, and you? (My name is Yi Lin, and you?)" the girl introduced herself
"mynameiszhoujiping(my name is Zhou Jiping)"
"Zhou, Zhou..." Yilin tried hard to pronounce Zhou Jiping's name. Obviously, this cross-language syllable was a bit difficult to learn. But then Yilin uttered a syllable that surprised Zhou Jiping: "Zhou, Zhou, Zhou Enlai
!”
"Do you know Zhou Enlai?" Zhou Jiping asked in English
Erin nodded: "yes"
She actually knows Zhou Enlai? She didn't expect that there are people in tribes as far away as East Africa who know the name of Premier Zhou Enlai. If you know that Muntaya has no diplomatic relations with China, then this must be Tanzania. Seeing hope, Zhou Jiping suppressed his inner emotions.
Excited, he said to Yilin seriously: "ier" (I am from China, Zhou Enlai is the prime minister of our country)
But this time, Zhou Jiping saw a look of confusion on Yilin's face.
I guess her English level is relatively poor. Zhou Jiping thought it would be better to ask some key questions.
"e(Can you help me?)?" Zhou Jiping asked
Yilin nodded and said softly: "yes"
"whereisthis(where is this)?"
"yemara", after thinking about it for a moment, Irene replied
Imara? A very unfamiliar name. It is probably the name of a region or a village in Tanzania.
"e(Can you contact the Chinese Embassy for me?)?"
The person who answered Zhou Jiping was Yilin with a confused look on her face.
"I want to leave (I want to leave)" is still confused...
"Leave!" Zhou Jiping emphasized that Yilin shook her head first to express that she didn't understand, but then she quickly reacted and said: "no, no"
Yilin stretched out her hand, pointed at Zhou Jiping and said: "you", then pointed to herself and said "me", then put her two fingers together and said: "marry"...
…
Seeing Zhou Jiping's stupid look, Yilin probably made it clear, and then said one word at a time: "arry (not married), they...kill you"
Zhou Jiping understood clearly that Yilin said that she wanted to marry him, and if she didn't get married, someone would kill her.
What kind of rule is this? You have to get married, otherwise it would be a big deal to kill Zhou Jiping.
"Why?" Zhou Jiping asked
[I won’t type in English from now on, I figured it out instantly, Lao Ben is having a hard time switching input methods] Watching Yilin continue to explain to herself using gestures and words: “This is the Damon tribe. Damon’s rules are, outsiders
You must stay with Damon forever, otherwise the tribe must kill him, because Damon’s secret cannot be revealed, otherwise it will bring disaster to Damon.”
After taking a lot of effort to confirm that Zhou Jiping could "listen" and understand her words, Yilin continued: "You live in my house now because the tribe requires me to stay with you. If you run away
, I will also be executed, even though I am the chief’s daughter.”
Damon tribe! Chief’s daughter! Zhou Jiping felt suffocated. He managed to save his life, but his sentence was changed to life.
"But, I have a wife" is quite simple.
"It doesn't matter." Erin didn't seem to care at all.
"Then, can I go out?" Zhou Jiping asked
"You can't escape. If you escape, the tribal warriors will pierce your head with a spear." Yilin looked worried.
Threat, naked threat "But, I want to solve it..." Zhou Jiping changed the topic and gestured with his hand
Yilin didn't expect it. After understanding what Zhou Jiping meant, she thought about it a little shyly, pushed the half-open door open, and led Zhou Jiping out of the house.
