Zhou Jiping lives in a mountainous area, and there is not much land in the whole village, so land resources are even more precious. The small pieces of land in front of and behind the houses have been cleared by hard-working mountain people to grow melons and vegetables. Now such a large piece of land has been abandoned.
, Zhou Jiping felt like he was wasting all his natural resources.
It is the dry season now, and most of the plants on the grassland have dried up. However, at the end of this cultivated land, a small river meanders through, nourishing this cultivated land from drought. A dozen tall tribal men are guarding it with spears in their hands.
Because the cultivated land area is relatively large, more than a dozen people walking in it are not very conspicuous. Looking from a distance, the end of the cultivated land is surrounded by some dense trees. There are extremely simple shacks built on a few trees. It seems that this place is
There are still people guarding you at night
According to the chief, the tribe will move to dry season camps just waiting for the last crops to be harvested
At this time, Zhou Jiping was much more well-behaved. He smiled from time to time and gave approving exclamations when appropriate, which made the old chief who had never seen much of the world feel very comfortable.
After casually walking around, it was almost noon and the group returned to the tribe.
After walking all morning, Zhou Jiping's body was burned by the sun, and his eyes were darkened before he fully recovered. Now that he was back in the tribe with the shade of trees, Zhou Jiping couldn't wait to lie down and take a nap immediately, even if it was to lie down like that.
But the chief was in high spirits now and insisted on dragging Zhou Jiping to have lunch.
After finally coaxing the chief to be quite happy all morning, his face felt a little twitchy, but he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste. He gritted his teeth and followed the chief to the empty wooden shed in the center of the tribe.
Seeing that her father and her future husband were getting along fairly well, Yilin felt relieved. She took the opportunity to prepare lunch and get closer to Zhou Jiping, and quietly said to Zhou Jiping: "Damon people only have two meals a day, because
Father is very happy to make an exception and open lunch for you."
Hearing Yilin say this, Zhou Jiping smiled gently at Yilin on the surface, but he sneered in his heart: Show your favor to me? Of course I should know how to do it.
Seeing his son-in-law and daughter whispering affectionately, Chief Jiwayo also seemed very happy.
Not long after, lunch was served. The chief enthusiastically invited the two elders and Zhou Jiping and Yilin to sit down and eat. The other followers retreated outside the wooden shed in a polite manner. Except for a few serving people, they all stayed at a distance.
After they dispersed, it was obvious that those who could take a seat in the wooden shed must be the most important people in the tribe.
The old chief was in high spirits, and regardless of whether Zhou Jiping understood or not, he kept explaining the dishes in front of him - the chief now looked more like an ordinary father than a chief who awes the tribesmen.
The dishes in front of me are indeed sumptuous: several roasted corns, meat cut into small pieces in the basin, several cooked rats placed on the wooden board, some insects in the wooden basin, and several pictures.
There are actually several grilled fish placed on the big leaves! In addition, each person has a wooden bowl, which contains an inexplicable soup. You can see vegetables and plant tubers.
Fish! It’s not unusual to see fish. What surprised Zhou Jiping was that these fish were sea fish! Is this place very close to the sea? If so, then this will mean another possible way out.
The tool for eating soup is a wooden slat, which functions as chopsticks. You have to grab it when eating other things.
He grabbed a fish and tasted it. It was not bad, but a little too salty. After tasting it carefully, Zhou Jiping realized that the fish meat was hard and in the shape of strips - this was dried sea fish, which means that this tribe has the ability.
Acquire so much seafood that you cannot eat it and need to be salted
Salt, this is another important point to consider. If it were not for the lack of salt and water, I would not be so embarrassed and fainted on the grassland. If you are planning to escape, salt and water are two key issues that must be solved. Water is good.
The solution, especially after the rainy season, is easier to solve. The key is salt... At this moment, the chief directly grabbed the vegetables in front of Zhou Jiping, interrupting Zhou Jiping's vague thoughts.
I thanked the chief and tasted the game while observing the people present. It was very shameful! The two elders Ajia and Mumabei were simply arrogant. Their eyes were half-lidded and they were immersed in the pleasure of chewing without even looking.
It seems that Chief Zhou Jiping's father-in-law is doing better and cares for others from time to time. However, looking at the dirt in the skin folds of his big rough hands, Zhou Jiping still hopes that he can do it himself. In comparison, Yilin is much more gentle, and her eyes are
She looked at herself timidly from time to time, and it could be seen that she was a little nervous. She knew very well what she was thinking. At the moment, she was acting too well-behaved, which could reassure the old chief, but she couldn't hide it from Yilin.
It’s very painful to look at a lot of food in front of you and not be able to eat it. In fact, it has been more than two days since he woke up. Zhou Jiping only ate a little liquid food and a few sweet potatoes. He visited the tribe and walked around in the morning.
Daquan, I am already hungry, but none of the things in front of me are easy to digest. Now my stomach tolerance is limited. It is extremely dangerous to eat in large quantities. A single episode of diarrhea may kill you.
After tasting the original delicacies in front of him, he was only half full. Zhou Jiping was the first to stop. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stopped, Zhou Jiping found that the chief and the elders had also stopped.
When they came down, they looked at Zhou Jiping with a somewhat embarrassed expression. Yilin, who looked strange, came up and explained in English - it turns out that the rule of the Damon tribe is that when the guest stops eating, the host will also stop eating.
You can't eat it anymore, otherwise it's very rude.
Hearing this, Zhou Jiping couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. No wonder they were looking at him like that. He stopped him before they were full. He smiled apologetically at the elderly people, grabbed a corn and chewed it one by one.
It looks like - at this time, you can only eat vegetarian food. Those grilled meats and fish are the hardest to digest. Seeing Zhou Jiping continue to eat, several old people were slightly relieved and continued to eat seriously.
It was really hard to eat this meal. Zhou Jiping wanted to eat but didn't want to eat it. He was worried about getting upset, but he still had to accompany a few old people to show off and endure the normal physiological reactions to food. What did the chief and the two elders want to do?
While eating, he was worried that the other party would finish before he was full, so he could only watch Zhou Jiping's movements and speed up his meal.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiping felt a little funny. It seemed that the Damon tribe still valued politeness and was very reasonable, so he deliberately slowed down his movements and continued to maintain the appearance of eating, giving others enough time to turn their heads.
