Treasure Hunt Tycoon

The relationship between the lion hunter and the chieftain is very bad, and the grievances between the two sides are certainly more than that.

However, Li Du was hard to ask. The lion hunter stopped talking about these things, and he shifted the topic in cooperation.

This time when he comes to the Zulu tribe, he will participate in a dinner party. At that time, there will be a lively war dance show. Starting tomorrow, the lion hunter will take him to participate in the tribal hunting activities and go to the wilderness hunting.

But in the evening, the lion hunter went out and came back with a mysterious smile on his face, saying, "Tomorrow we will not go hunting, push back one day, tomorrow you can see the sacred ceremony of our Zulu tribe. "

"What sacred ceremony?" Li Du asked.

The lion hunter did not answer, and said with a smile: "You must never have experienced it, believe me, you will be surprised tomorrow."

Beginning in the evening, many men and women gathered in an open area of ​​the tribe. They were dressed brightly and smiled brightly, standing and singing and dancing on the open space.

Among them, the girls were still bare-chested, standing in front of the crowd and dancing hard, the eunuchs and others went to the open space, and some people pulled them in and took them to dance.

When the sun goes down and the moon rises, a bonfire is lit in the open space, and flames rise into the sky, hunting sounds are blown by the wind, and they go straight into the clouds and fire trees.

At this time, people who had been dancing crazy gave way, and dozens of strong young men and women ran to the open space to officially start the war dance performance.

When performing war dances, young men all wore leopard-print clothing. This was not the kind of man-made goods in the city. It was made of leopard skin by the Eight Classics.

Leopard skin is the icon of the chiefs, but men can wear this kind of clothes during the dance, and there is also a leopard leather skirt, and the calf will be tied with lion mane or other beast fur.

Around the open space, there were drums, howls, and claps. Following the drums and rhythmic screams, the youths made various postures to show the fighting.

At the beginning, their dancing was mainly flexible jumping. After a while, someone sent a sword and gun stick, and they began to wield weapons, showing their majestic posture using weapons.

Looking at the fierce battle dance, the Zulu people including the lion hunter at the scene showed their proud expressions. They held their heads high, cooperated with lame claps or cheers, and cheered on the battle dance on the field.

Occasionally, the lion hunter turned back and asked, "How about Lee, how about our war dance?"

Li Du applauded vigorously and said, "Cool guys, no wonder I heard that the Zulu are the most heroic and warlike people in Africa!"

The lion hunter proudly raised his head and said, "Of course, we are the bravest Africans. We are the only African nation that truly defeats the British!"

The war he said was the Zulu War, which took place in 1879, including the Battle of Dien Bien Phu and the Malay Peninsula. Among them was the Battle of Issan Delwana, in which the British lost heavy.

At that time in Izandelvana, the British army was facing the offensive of the Zulus several times behind them. Those near soldiers, holding the shuttle darts used for primitive human hunting, were under the command of King Kaizhiwayo. Defeated the invaders equipped with the most advanced weapons at that time.

The end result of this war was the defeat of the Zulus, but that battle earned them enough pride and earned the nation's self-confidence.

Later, Mandela led the South African black movement, and the Zulus have always been the backbone because they are the most confident South Africans.

What makes Li Du and others depressed is that there was no food during the war dance. In order to show respect to the soldiers, everyone was attentive to the show and no one was allowed to eat.

The war dance began to jump shortly after the sun set, and continued until late at night, until the young men and women were exhausted and their legs and cramps ended.

At that time, it was finally time to eat, but Li Du was too hungry and had a fart!

In the end, he tasted the well-known roasted leopard meat of the local tribes, patted his stomach, and went to the room arranged by the lion hunter to rest.

The breakfast on the second day was quite hearty, with polenta, grilled corn, steamed corn, corn sweet sauce, fried corn kernels, corn kernels with meat sauce and so on.

In short, the locals' love for corn is now in the breakfast.

At breakfast, the lion hunter said, "You will be free to move around later. At around ten o'clock, go to the place to watch the war dance last night, where an ancient ceremony will be held."

Li Dudao: "It looks like you are looking forward to it? What kind of ceremony is this? Do you need to keep it secret?"

The lion hunter blinked and said, "Rituals that men and women love."

The mystery of his masterpiece successfully lifted the appetite of Li Du's party. After walking around the tribe for a while, when he saw someone starting to gather in the open space, Li Du and others hurried away.

The people gathered were boys and girls, black people were mature, and the Zulu people were always engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, and hunting.

Li Du can't judge the age of these men and women. He estimates that he will not be more than 15 or 6 years old.

After they arrived, an old lady with a block of mud on her forehead came over and waved her hand vigorously: "Talulu, Talulu!"

"What do you mean?" Li Duan wondered ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The **** scratched his head and said: "It seems to be 'go away' in Zulu language? I heard it several times last night, but I didn't pay attention, not too sure."

Li Du turned around and saw the lion hunter smiling at them not far away. There were some men around him who were smiling at them.

Seeing this, Li Du knew that they had been stunned by the lion hunter!

He hurriedly led someone away, but the old lady reached out and held Sophie, murmured, not knowing what she was talking about, but she was very kind.

The lion hunter said next: "Let Miss Sophie stay, and you leave quickly, or you will be stabbed!"

Li Du frowned and asked, "What's going on? Did you play us?"

The lion hunter laughed: "No, there is really an ancient sacred ceremony here to test the purity of boys and girls."

Li Du looked back at the distant girls, and an open space surrounded by a long cloth. He probably understood the meaning of the lion hunter, and was surprised: "Are there such things?"

The lion hunter shrugged and said, "Perhaps you know that we Zulu people have a tradition of sacrificing goddesses, and now you see this traditional ceremony."

How could Li Du know such a tradition? Others didn't know, they were dumbfounded.

The lion hunter introduced them: "The goddess of the gods and the gods of heaven are the true gods of our Zulu people. In the legend, if the goddess does not get the respect it deserves, she will attack humanity with natural disasters. Especially when women ask for blessings, they must remain female. "

Li Du shook his head and said, "If you really believe in this goddess, you should not maintain a polygamy system."

The lion hunter said casually: "So, this is a tradition that was lost before, but it has been found again over the years."
