Chapter 1023 1022. Slaughtering Pigs for Hospitality (15)

There are dozens of hundreds of small houses on the open space. These houses are low and small thatched houses. Most of them use wooden boards as walls and thick weed grasses that can waterproof them as roofs. They are very simple.

There is another kind of house that is more tricky, which is to build a hemispherical shape with branches and leaves. After seeing it, Li Du couldn't help but think of the bird's nest on the tree. These are just large bird's nests.

There are hundreds of dwarves living here. They have dark skin and most of them are very thin. The men only wear a waistline, and the front and back are covered with leaves.

Women pay more attention to their own image. In addition to their waistline, they also have an apron decorated with scales and beetles, which looks quite beautiful.

After Li Du and the others arrived, they looked at the group of people warily at first, and after the plantain worm and the kin who welcomed him introduced him, the pygmies quickly became enthusiastic.

"Clear goods, clear goods!" A relatively tall and strong black man came up and waved, "Phantom phantom!"

Li Du was surprised to find that this person also spoke in Chinese, but it was more vague.

He asked Banana Worm why they could speak Chinese, and Banana Worm said that someone had taught them, people like him, that's why he asked Li Du for help.

According to Li Du's speculation, there should be Chinese people who had contact with them before, and the two sides got along very well, and the Chinese also took great pains to teach them Chinese.

After Li Du and others sat down, some women put down the children in their hands and went to get small cups to pour water for them.

A few small leaves were soaked in hot water in the cup, like tea leaves. Li Du sniffed the smell, and it had a tea-like aroma.

These women have necklaces made of small shells on their necks, and bracelets made of bark on their wrists. There are various patterns on the bark, such as animals, flowers and plants, and so on.

For this pygmy tribe, Li Du and his party are honored guests.

After they entertained the group to sit down and rest, in addition to serving tea, they also began to prepare dinner.

Some trees are tied with thick vines, and some livestock such as pigs and deer are raised inside.

The strong little black gave an order, and most of the pygmies cheered. They jumped up on the ground with bare feet, swinging their arms and legs rhythmically.

Li Du and the others thought it was a show for them to watch, but after dancing for a while, the little black people went to drag out the few pigs in the pen, bled them and slaughtered them.

The little dolls were happier, and they also learned how to dance from their parents. Obviously, this is a culture deeply rooted in their bones.

There is a lot of food in Godzilla's backpack. This is a small gift prepared by Li Du for the Banana Zerg. Most of them are candies, which are delicious and durable.

Sophie distributed the candies to the children, and quickly won the favor of the children, and more than a dozen children began to dance around her.

Other children focused on Ah Miao, and one child took out a wooden stick with a sharp point and wanted to stab Ah Miao.

Ah Meow poked her head like lightning, bit the stick and shook her head, pushing the child to the ground.

Li Du was afraid that there would be a conflict between the two sides, so he called the plantain worm over and asked him to tell the tribe that these animals are not food, but companions, and they cannot be eaten.

The banana bug didn't explain, he pushed the children away like beggars, waving his hands and yelling.

The children ran away laughing, then turned to grimace at him and yelled at him like beasts: "Aww!"

A dozen men and a dozen women worked together to dispose of the slaughtered pigs, while the others went about their business.

Someone was very curious about Li Du and others, and sat down to chat with them.

However, those who understand Chinese are only part of them, and the two sides have a language barrier. Li Du and others can't understand what they are talking about. It seems that they are envious of the tall bodies of the group.

Fat pigs are disembowelled, their internal organs cleaned out, and then divided into several large pieces together with their fur.

Some people took woven bags made of weeds to pick a lot of leaves, and when they came back, they pounded them with simple stone mortars.

Pounding the leaves, they spread the resulting green juice evenly over the pork, then mix the leaves with the pork.

Then, someone dug a pit on the ground, and built up the pit with stones, leaving a gap in the middle for a fire.

The pork is marinated here, and the firewood is continuously added and clean stones are put into the fire.

Li Du was watching them cooking, when some little black men appeared again. They were hunters, walking back from the forest, with little wild animals hanging on their waists, and wild fruits and vegetables they had collected in their hands.

There were a total of twenty people in the team, but there were no big beasts among them. It seemed that getting food in the woods was not that simple.

After these people came back, the little black people cheered again, no need to think about it, after cheering, they continued to sing and dance.

There is no Internet, no electricity, and no game venues in the rainforest.

But the Pygmies live here very happily. They just go to sing and dance, learn how to call wild animals, and drink some muddy wine, so that they can be very happy.

What is more enjoyable is obviously the food at night. When the stones are roasted very hot, some people take out the pork soaked in the pile of leaves and spread them on the stones.

The temperature of the stone was very high, and the flame continued to heat up. Soon, as the fat was roasted and made a "sizzling" sound, the aroma of the meat permeated the air.

The children were attracted by the smell of the meat. They squatted around the fire pit like little monkeys. Some adults would pick out the leaves from the pork from time to time and distribute them to the children. They ate with relish.

This is the Pygmies, the sons of the African forest. They have a unique culture, which is the jungle culture.

The beliefs, customs, residences and clothing of the Pygmies are inseparable from the forest. This is a primitive tribe living in the forest for generations, and the forest is their belief.

As night fell, the bonfire became more and more vigorous, and the pygmies became more and more excited, and began to sing loudly around the bonfire.

At this time, the pork was almost cooked, and some strong women went up and pulled the pork out with a hook, cut some of it and put it on a wooden tray, and sent it to Li Du and others.

Looking at the dark pork, Li Du gave a wry smile and said, "Everyone, eat it, and be polite."

Sophie said: "We must thank them. From our point of view, this kind of food is too dirty to eat, but to them, it is delicious food, and this is the highest courtesy of hospitality."

The African jungle often rains and the air is humid. Food cannot be stored overnight here, so Pygmies cannot store food. For them, every day is a new day, and the first thing they do when they open their eyes is to find food.

However, finding food in the wild is not so simple. They often get hungry and full. For them, having food to fill their stomachs is a good thing to be happy.

A group of people understood this, so they thanked Banana Worm and his people, who tore pork and stuffed it into their mouths.

Li Du was about to swallow the pork, but he was surprised after chewing a mouthful: "Hey, it's delicious!"
