Chapter 976 975. Attitude Difference (910)

Hunters chewed up the bones of mice and wild birds, leaving nothing but mouse skins and bird feathers.

The mouse skins and wild bird feathers were also not left behind, they carried them with them. The feathers can be used as ornaments, and the mouse skins will be collected to make mattresses or canopies.

In the afternoon they came across a new wood with thick trunks and thick branches.

Seeing the woods, the hunters shouted happily again, scrambling to run into the woods.

Cheeks was also very happy, and patted Li Du on the shoulder and repeated the sentence again: "A distinguished guest brings good luck!"

Li Du said: "What did you find?"

Brother Wolf said: "That's a noodle tree, the fruit from the tree can be picked for food."

Li Du said: "But it's winter now, the fruits have dried up, right?"

Brother Lang nodded, and said, "Yes, but the fruit of the noodle tree needs to be dried in the sun and cooked before being eaten. Therefore, the naturally dried fruit on the tree is more attractive than the fresh fruit."

The hunters are all good at climbing trees, and after climbing up, they use sharp knives to cut long fruits.

Li Du thought that the lush things on the tree were branches, but he didn't know until he cut them off that they were the fruits of the noodle tree, no wonder it grew so much.

Looking at these noodle trees, Brother Lang had a strange expression on his face.

Li Du asked, "What's wrong?"

Brother Lang said: "The noodle tree is a tropical tree, and it is not distributed in many places. Some island countries in the South Pacific, such as Fiji, Polynesia, Tahiti, or Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, and some tropical areas in China, South Africa Is there too? Rare."

Cheeks said with a smile: "Yes, this is relatively rare. In fact, we rarely find noodle trees along the way, but there are always some. This is nature, the magical nature."

Godzilla was carrying beer, and he just wanted to drink. After hearing this, he took out a can, raised it, and said, "Respect the amazing nature."

Gudong gudong, he drank happily.

After harvesting the fruit of the noodle tree, Cheeks and his tribe prepare to return.

"Today's harvest is enough, enough for us to eat for two days." Cheeks said happily, "Then, let's go back early and rest."

Li Du shrugged his shoulders and said that he would take it easy. The Hadzais don't store much food, which is their national tradition.

However, just because the Hadzais do not store food does not mean that they will only enjoy it in time and will not plan for a rainy day.

They came back the other way, made a circle, and walked a whole new piece of land.

On this road, they are still looking for food, and if they find a place where they may catch prey, they will mark it, and they will come here tomorrow.

Back in the tribe, some children, big and small, ran excitedly, jumped around the hunters, and looked at the prey curiously.

The hunters introduce to the children what they have obtained and the way of hunting, and pass on their knowledge to the next generation through precepts and deeds.

After sitting down, Li Du recalled today's hunting trip and found that the life of the Hadzais is really not easy.

In his mind, hunting in African tribes is to go out for a walk, meet an antelope buffalo or other animals, and then hunt it down together, drag it back and eat meat and drink happily.

I followed the lion hunter yesterday, but I felt this way.

Of course, this was because they had cars at the time, which allowed them to search for prey faster, and there was an expert Adula who was good at tracking prey. He was very familiar with the grassland here and knew where there was water and where there was prey.

Today is completely different, the Hadzai hunt is too difficult. They are guests of this grassland, which makes them feel very strange, and they walk entirely on their legs, looking for prey.

Cheeks came up and asked, "Thinking of what?"

Li Du told the truth, "Your life is really not easy."

Cheeks said with a smile: "Yeah, life is indeed difficult. Fortunately, I am very happy overall. Otherwise, I would not stay in the tribe instead of going to a big city for employment."

Indeed, there is a shortage of doctors in any country in Africa. Cheeks is a top student from the University of California. The medical major of the University of California, San Francisco is particularly strong, ranking among the top five in the United States.

In other words, with Cheeks' ability, let alone in Africa, he can easily find a job even in the United States.

A child ran over and handed him some fruits, and said in English with a smile, "It's delicious."

The children in the tribe are all the same, naked, barefoot, dirty all over, barefoot, rolling on the ground together at every turn.

But in them, Li Du saw the purity and satisfaction that he couldn't see in Chinese and American children. This is a strange feeling. The children here are very pure, simple, and live a very happy life.

Among them, the girls are more naughty, they can play around casually.

Boys should be precocious and quiet. Although they can also play, they follow their fathers to learn how to make weapons and hunt wild animals very early.

These fruits are small berries, Cheeks said: "They collect them during the day, and the children will follow their mothers around to collect berries, fetch water, clean up and do simple tasks during the day."

Dinner was boiled noodles, fruit and roast meat, cut into pieces, and two thick hind legs.

This time they roasted the porcupine they harvested yesterday. Li Du asked, "Don't you eat fresh food? Why are the porcupines kept until today?"

Cheeks said with a smile: "Big food will usually be dried for a day or two. After drying, the meat will be harder and everyone needs to chew. You know, gobbling can't bring you a sense of fullness, and it's easy for people to eat too much." .”

This is a helpless move. For a civilized society, if you eat more, you can eat more. At worst, you will get fat and then find a way to lose weight.

For the Hadzais, whose food is not easy to obtain, they don't have enough food for everyone to waste. Most of the time, they can't even eat enough, and they can only maintain their living needs.

Li Du and the others didn't eat much. First, the process of getting food for the Hadzais was too difficult, and second, their food was so rough that it was not easy to eat.

It's not that Li Du and his group are being hypocritical, the main reason is that they can't be like the Hadzais, a group of people get together and reach out to the pot to scoop up noodles and fruit to eat, and they don't have a mouth to drool over the slobbering porcupine barbecue.

As a courtesy, they ate some anyway, and Cheeks prepared them a leg of pork, which they gnawed off.

At the end of the day's hunting experience, Li Du and Cheeks hugged goodbye and returned to the lion hunter's camp.

On the lion hunter's side, there was an extra lion in the camp, but it was a dead lion.

Seeing Li Du and others come back, he proudly said: "How about it, look at my harvest!"

The lions are skinned and made into specimens, and all the meat inside is thrown away, because it is not tasty, and the fiber of the lion meat is too thick and the meat is too rough.

Looking at the discarded lion meat, Li Du thought of the Hadzais next door. The difficulty of obtaining food and their attitude towards food were very different.
