Zhou Jiping's trip to Engro Mountain should go smoothly this time. However, in the end, Welf also repeatedly asked Zhou Jiping not to bring a satellite phone and not to reveal the phone calls between them, otherwise the matter between them would be
Will help
Even so, Zhou Jiping still prepared some necessary gifts. In addition to the diamonds that were the subject of the cooperation between the two parties, the two sucking lion cubs and their nanny dog were also brought on the road. Zhou Jiping
This idea of giving lions was also supported by the old chief Jiwayo. In any case, lions are rare everywhere, and it is not something that ordinary people can get. After the war, the grassland animal resources
The more and more rare it becomes, the more obvious it becomes.
In addition, Damon and Marcy also took out a few ivory tusks that had been stored for many years. These things were nothing to Damon, but to the Bushmen who could communicate with the outside world, they were all practical.
In addition to wealth, other tribes in Soyo also collected some wildebeest meat, skins and other things obtained during the season, just to enrich the gift list.
It is worth mentioning that among these gifts there are several exquisite jars, which contain refined fine salt that looks like white snow. Zhou Jiping took the time to purify it, but the current output is still too small, and it will not be enough in a few days.
All I got was this salt
However, as Zhou Jiping taught the salt purification technology to the craftsmen, Soyo's handicraft industry developed further. Some interested people, including some women who had nothing to do, also joined in, and Soyo's handicraft industry
The social division of labor has undergone another dramatic change. Not only that, the purification of coarse salt can also separate the mirabilite in the original salt that can cause diarrhea, making the salt safer. As for the mirabilite, it will also be of great use in the future.
There were more than thirty people participating in this trip to Ngro Mountain. Among them, there were two squads of field platoon soldiers, with a total of twenty people. Their main responsibilities were to guard, search and fight. They were mainly responsible for protecting the chief and those who could.
The tribe exchanged precious resources for diamonds. In addition, there were ten Free Army soldiers. After all, someone had to do the work of driving livestock, camping, cooking, etc. In addition, Noitu and Kelanga, two people who had just returned from Ngro
People who have not been out of the mountains for a long time are considered guides and are responsible for leading everyone all the way south.
Both Anka and Zube were left in Soyo. After Zhou Jiping left, they would be fully responsible for Soyo's security and defense and supervise the training of the Free Army. Duka, as Zhou Jiping's assistant, worked together.
Go south
At the south entrance of Soyo Town, people seeing off were crowded at the intersection and the withered farmland on both sides. Zhou Jiping and his group carried all the hopes of the tribes in the grassland. Can those tribesmen who have been detained for many years be released?
People are concerned about whether the various bans imposed on the grassland tribes by the Man people will be lifted, and whether the diamond trade can bring visible benefits to the tribes.
But at the same time, there are also people who are worried about the safety of Zhou Jiping and his party. After all, it is a long way to go, and the Bushmen have had conflicts with various tribes in the grasslands. As for this time, their great chief Lila will meet
I won’t change my face again, that’s something that’s uncertain. There are many people with this kind of worry, and Yilin is one of them.
Yilin has been pregnant for more than seven months. Since Soyo has had enough food in the past six months, and she is the woman of the great chief and the daughter of the old chief, she has attracted the attention and attention of the entire Soyo town since she became pregnant.
In particular, some tribal elders who wanted to have a good relationship with the chief sent her a lot of nourishing things and gifts, either sincerely or falsely, including some rare good things on the grassland.
Several experienced women were also sent to her by the elders early on, taking care of her food and daily life all day long, without letting her do almost anything. Under this special care and preferential treatment, Yilin and before she became pregnant.
In the eyes of other women in Soyo, Yilin is absolutely happy, because in Soyo, no woman except Yilin can enjoy such treatment when pregnant. But who knows, even if
Irene was still unhappy after receiving such preferential treatment.
Yilin and Zhou Jiping have always been together less and more apart. Especially after the competition between Zhou Jiping and Duka, Zhou Jiping used the rule in his hometown that "you cannot live in the same room with your pregnant wife" as an excuse to stay with Yilin.
Lin lived in separate rooms. Even if he met Yilin occasionally, or Zhou Jiping took time out of his "busy schedule" to visit the pregnant girl, there were always outsiders around him. Moreover, Zhou Jiping often couldn't say a few words.
Ji Ping was called away again by the person who came to "ask for instructions", leaving the young couple with no time to be alone together.
What's more, these few times Zhou Jiping left the tribe to go out to do things, either to exterminate the remnants of hyenas, to fight water monsters in the water, or to compete with lions. Which one didn't experience the thrill of survival from death? And this time Zhou Jiping went to the Bushmen again.
Is it really going to be smoother to go deep into the tiger's den to get back the tribesmen who have been detained for many years, as Zhou Jiping relayed Welf's words? Can the white people be trusted? Because of this, Yilin was deeply worried.
Looking at Yilin's gradually bulging belly and chubby face, Zhou Jiping was filled with guilt.
"You have to go away for a long time this time. I'm afraid the child will be born before you come back. Give the child a name!" Their eyes met, and it took a long time for Yilin to break the silence between the two.
According to what Zhou Jiping learned, the trip to Ngro Mountain for his group would probably take nearly a month. If you include the time spent meeting and negotiating with the Bushman chief at Ngro Mountain,
Even if everything goes well, it will probably take a month and a half to prepare all the supplies for the return trip, not to mention if there is any trouble, this time will not be enough at all. Calculate the time, Yilin will
I'm afraid I've really given birth to a baby.
After listening to Yilin's words, Zhou Jiping stared silently at the little woman in front of him who was about to become a mother. He didn't know what to say. He knew that this meeting might be their farewell.
Even if his trip to Engro Mountain is basically safe, Yilin may not be able to. Maybe dystocia is rare in the tribe, but if it happens, it will lead to death. But the current situation is,
I can't help at all
After being silent for a while, Zhou Jiping finally pulled his thoughts out of his thoughts and said slowly: "The name is Fry, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhou Jiping immediately regretted it.
