"These few stones and the ones from my father's place will be used to pay homage to the Ancestral Dragon God when we wait for the Engro camp." Yilin continued to add in English.
Also, are there many more? There must be mineral deposits here, and they are mineral deposits that are easy to mine. Suddenly, Zhou Jiping thought of a question. This thought diluted the joy of discovering the treasure, and he quickly regained his calm mind.
"Don't be seen by outsiders, otherwise it will be detrimental to Damon," Zhou Jiping said seriously to Yilin.
Yilin nodded and said, "Yes, the Ancestral Dragon God also warned the Damon people this way." As she spoke, her eyes became misty.
What did Zhou Jiping think of? He thought of the other side of the matter, which is that when you cannot protect wealth, wealth will only become a sharp sword that kills people. The old people in my hometown often say that wealth is pure and touching, don't show wealth, and other warnings.
That's the truth
The Damon people have such a huge amount of wealth, but they don’t know it. It’s like a three-year-old child guarding a treasure. Even people like themselves are tempted to covet it, let alone others! Once this news is spread, it will be immediately
What will follow may not be gold and delicious food, but war, plunder and killing.
The colonists plundered this continent hundreds of years ago, but now their descendants can rest in peace and quiet? Even for things like searching for oil, doesn’t Sevier need to find a strong backing for himself?
Even the security personnel are fully armed. They can walk freely in any country in East Africa. It can be seen that the influence of profit is huge. Things will never be as simple as you think. Even if you can find an opportunity to take away a few dollars.
Diamond, will live a life of a rich man in the future. But once the secret is leaked, will these indigenous people be allowed to bear the disaster of war from now on? Although I am not a saint, but if such a thing really happens, I will not
I'll feel at ease
"Put these things away," Zhou Jiping said to Rahn. "Don't let the aliens see Zulong's tears, otherwise it will bring disaster to Damon."
When he said this, Zhou Jiping's mood had calmed down somewhat. He thought of a sentence: Life is like a woman. The more she gives you, the greater your demands on her.
People's hearts are so hopeless! Zhou Jiping recalled that he had gone from simply surviving to hoping for a smooth escape - one can't expect too much. What can he do even if he has diamonds at hand? He can go through customs smoothly with a piece of this thing.
Is it? I'm afraid there are times in life that you must have. There is no time in life. Don't force yourself. Diamonds should be just the icing on the cake. You must not throw away your life on this strange grassland because of diamonds.
At noon, Zhou Jiping, who had calmed down, found a quiet place to practice his martial arts and went to the farmland. The soldiers hid in a cool place and rested while guarding the farmland. Only Larn continued his straw sandal industry, which he had high hopes for.
cause
With An Xin guarding his Dantian, Zhou Jiping's heart gradually became calmer. The diamond was just like a pebble. After giving him a momentary fluctuation, everything slowly returned to normal.
"Father is looking for you," Yilin said to Zhou Jiping, who had just finished praying, and then led him deep into the remote woods of the tribe.
From a distance, Zhou Jiping saw the chief sitting alone among the pyrethrum flowers, as motionless as an African wood sculpture, until Yilin brought Zhou Jiping in front of him.
"Have you seen the Tears of the Ancestral Dragon?" the chief asked in English, while several followers were wandering in the distance.
"Yes," Zhou Jiping replied calmly, waiting for the chief's next words.
"What on earth is that?" The chief was equally calm, staring at Zhou Jiping, waiting for his answer.
How should I answer this? After thinking about the words, Zhou Jiping said cautiously: "That is a very precious thing."
The chief nodded thoughtfully, "How precious is it?"
Is it a test or a test? Judging from the chief's calm attitude, he should have been mentally prepared. "A very small piece can allow the Damon tribe to have food and drink for several years."
"You are very honest." The chief looked at Zhou Jiping with more approval and trust, which made Zhou Jiping a little suspicious that the chief intended to let Rahn test him with diamonds.
"It brought disaster to Damon, a big disaster, nine years ago..." The chief stopped talking, and the disaster that almost wiped out the entire clan seemed to flash before his eyes.
After pausing for a while, the chief decided to continue talking: "Nine years ago, I was the chief of the entire Damon clan. After Damon was involved in the war, the chief of the Engro Valley in the south helped Damon and the grassland tribes, but they
But after the purposeful war, Damon lost hundreds of thousands of people, but the surviving tribes were detained by the chief of Bermacho of Ngro Mountain on the grounds that the Bushmen were also the descendants of the ancestral dragon god.
descendants, so he who contributed the most in the war should become the king of the tribe and command all the tribes on the grassland."
The chief paused for a moment and took a deep breath: "Originally, this is nothing. Anyone can make the decision on tribal affairs, but he asked for the power to worship the ancestral dragon god. This is impossible for Damon as the ancestor.
A direct descendant of the Dragon God, he has been the chief priest for hundreds of years. It is impossible to hand it over to others. Later, I found out from a little chief Damon that Bermajo did this after seeing the Tears of the Ancestral Dragon.
Only then did I remember what Damon’s ancestor said: Don’t let foreigners see the Tears of the Ancestral Dragon.”
"Later, I went to negotiate with Bermajo. He took me and my followers as hostages and asked the wizards and elders to exchange for the tears of the ancestral dragon. At this time, it was Duka who saved us, and Bermajo was also killed.
Yes, I also had two sons die there. Because of the war, the Bushmen also suffered a lot of losses. Bermajo also did this behind the scenes, so no one else knows how he died. But after that,
Only some of Damon's people were able to leave Engro Mountain, and they gave up all their weapons." He glanced at Zhou Jiping and said, "Nine years ago, Damon people had guns."
Is this why the chief can use a gun? This story coincides with Zhou Jiping's expectation. Sure enough, diamonds will bring disaster to the Damon people.
"Then what do you plan to do in the future?" Zhou Jiping asked
"Bomacho is dead, and his son has become the chief of Ngro Mountain. He also suspected Damon, but there was no evidence, so he had to follow his father's decision before his death and detain Damon's tribe.
Hundreds of thousands of people! In addition, there are Masi, Monse, Micaia, Kalaha, Koma... a total population of more than 300,000. Now, only tens of thousands of people have returned to the Imara grassland where their ancestors lived.
I am old and can no longer do anything. I am about to go and protect the Ancestral Dragon God forever." The current chief looks more like a depressed old man.
