Chapter 1029 1028. Snake Tribe (25)
The police thought they had their own way, and they looked at Li Du and the miners triumphantly.
As a result, the police who searched Li Du worked hard, but found nothing except some daily necessities and tools, and there were no diamonds inside!
The police searched him, and searched other people's luggage and bodies, but nothing was found.
In the end, Sophie was left without a search. The young man named Scotty stretched out his hand to her with a sinister smile. Brother Wolf kicked him to the ground and stuffed the muzzle of the gun into his mouth.
The police were furious, and Li Du was even more furious. He pointed at a group of people and shouted: "Who dares to try! I swear, I will throw you all into prison! Your family! Your children! My family!" The mercenaries will definitely treat them well!"
The atmosphere became tense again, the tall policeman looked ferociously, and he looked at Li Du viciously.
Li Du refused to give an inch, and looked at him with more fierce eyes.
After some confrontation, the tall policeman took a step back first, and said angrily, "Close the team, let's go!"
Watching the policemen leave in dismay, the black people around Buick suddenly cheered: "Long live God Jibra!"
Buick came over with a smile, and just as he was about to speak, Li Du said first: "Pack up your things, let's go quickly, leave here first!"
He was worried that the police would do something wrong again.
Buick gave an order, and people obeyed his command, pushing carts, carrying sacks, and purses, and left the abandoned mine.
On the way, Buick said to Li Du: "You have helped us a lot, Mr. Li, please come to our tribe as a guest, we have to thank you."
Li Du asked, "Are you from the same tribe?"
Buick smiled and said, "Yes, we are the Jibra tribe, but Jibra is our language, you may not understand what it means, in English, we are the snake tribe."
Li Du thought for a while and agreed to his request. He just wanted to find someone to know about the distribution of diamond mines in this area. Buick and others should be able to help him.
No wonder Buick has such prestige among these blacks. They all belong to the same tribe, Buick is still the chief, and everyone else is his tribe.
When the police appeared, people from the Jibra tribe came behind Buick to confront the police. Those who fled across the river were not from the Jibra tribe.
They suffered heavy losses this time, and all the harvest for several months was robbed.
Having said that, Buick thanked Li Du again, and Li Du waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I'll help you out, by the way, why are the police so dark?"
Buick sighed and said, "That's how they are. They will come to the mine every once in a while to rob. We have no choice but to ask God Jibra to bless them and not touch them."
He introduced it to Li Du, this kind of thing is common, and they often encounter it.
After the diamond mine went bankrupt and was abandoned, poor people from surrounding villages and tribes often came here to try their luck.
The possibility of digging a diamond is not high. They often work hard for a month or two to harvest a small diamond, and sell the diamond for money, which is all the family's expenses depend on.
After the police found that they had gained something, they started a business without money. The surrounding police would come and search every once in a while, and they would find any reason to drive them away and keep their diamonds.
For example, this time, the police said that there was a mudslide after the heavy rain. This sounded good, but they actually wanted to use excuses to drive them away and search for diamonds.
The number of times has increased, and fewer and fewer people come here to look for ores, but there are always people who are short of money to try their luck, and the police will attack them and make a fortune.
The police call this behavior "cutting the wheat", which means that after one stubble is cut, there will be another stubble.
Li Du nodded to show his understanding, and he said, "Then, is there any regularity for the policemen to act every time? For example, how often do they do it every time?"
Buick said: "There is no rule in time. They will install some people as spies. The spies don't look for diamonds, but check our harvest. If they find that we have a lot of harvest, they will notify the police to cut the wheat."
Li Du was stunned, and said: "When we first met, you expelled us, did you treat us as spies?"
Buick smiled awkwardly: "Yes, we are always more wary of strangers."
It's no wonder they were on guard. During this period of time, they had a good harvest and found diamonds. What they feared most was the police raiding them.
Besides, obviously there were spies among them, but the spies were not Li Du and others.
The Jibra tribe to which Buick belongs is not far from the mine, about 20 kilometers away.
They were used to walking on mountain roads, and they walked quickly even with a cart. They returned to the tribe in less than three hours.
The Jibula tribe is different from the tribes Li Du has seen before, it is more like a village.
The houses of the tribe members are gathered together, surrounded by walls made of wooden boards, and the walls are covered with vines.
There are cars and motorcycles coming in and out at the gate, and people wear more modern clothes, no longer wearing grass skirts and animal skins.
This is a common South African tribe. Now all tribes are becoming civilized. People no longer drink blood like they used to, but communicate with the outside world and become more modern.
Approaching this tribe, Li Du wanted to take a photo, but as soon as he approached the wall, he first saw two colorful snakes moving slowly among the vines.
Subconsciously, he said, "Hey, there are snakes on the fence, everyone be careful."
But soon he realized that this might be normal. Buick said that the English name of the Jibra tribe is the snake tribe, and the snake may be their totem.
He told Buick the guess, Buick smiled and said: "You guessed wrong, the snake is not our totem, but our source of food and money."
Entering the village, Li Du first saw a large flat square, on which some women and children made white and round things in the sun.
These are skinned snakes, and Buick says the sun-dried meat goes to restaurants in the city, and the skins they sell to craft shops.
"The most valuable is snake serum, which is very expensive. It used to be as expensive as diamonds, but it is dangerous and difficult to obtain snake serum. Now some people are starting to breed poisonous snakes artificially. The price of serum has dropped, and we have no money to make." Buick said while shaking his head.
The Jibra tribe now has two ways to make money, one is the traditional way of catching and selling snakes, and the other is to find broken diamonds.
After arriving at the tribe, everything was safe, Li Du took out the diamond from his backpack and handed it to Buick.
The Buicks were distributed to everyone according to the marks on the small bags, and cheers were heard around them again.
After distributing the diamonds, Buick said curiously: "Mr. Li, where did you hide the diamonds just now? I thought they would search your backpack and they would find them."
Li Du pointed to a hidden compartment of the backpack and said, "In it, it's fortunate that they were careless, otherwise our losses would indeed be great."
