Chapter 956 Into The Grasslands (1/2)
Looking at the black bodies, Li Du felt despair.
Isn't that bullshit? How can you test the purity of a man by doing this?
However, it was clear that the Zulu men did not question the precision of these two
criteria, and considered the lessons of their ancestors to be more reliable than the
science of white men.
The lion hunter obviously disliked this so-called ”sacred ceremony”. He came to the
scene, kept a sneer on his face throughout it, and spoke with irony during the exchange
with the chief.
Realizing this, Li Du asked, ”Why did you participate if you thought it was wrong? Isn't
this kind of activity an insult to the young people?”
”Perhaps, but I must join in, since it is a way of showing my tribal status. Besides, why
would I go against the Zulu king?” said the lion hunter.
The lion hunter also told him that the Zulu ritual had run into legal difficulties, and that
South Africa's parliament had earlier passed a children's bill outlawing virginity tests for
boys and saying teenagers had the right to refuse such tests.
However, this proposal failed to gain approval. The Zulu king led a large number of
people to demonstrate against protest, claiming that the vitality of the Zulu people was
reflected in these old and new traditions. He believed that if modern laws could abolish
national traditions, it would destroy Zulu culture.
Li Du thought that this statement was bullshit. It reminded him of the feudal society
during the time of the Qing dynasty in China, when some ministers shouted, ”The laws
of ancestors cannot be changed”, and then Qing Dynasty died out.
It was interesting that in the 21st century, when the Zulu king's claim won over a large
ethnic group in South Africa, Congress and the courts had no choice but to back down.
In this sense, native governance in South Africa was a disaster, as they knew too little
about civilized society.
Many African countries, such as Somalia, Congo, Zambia, and others, were spoiled by
white people. South Africa was something of an anomaly in this way. It was probably
the only country in Africa where white people wanted to have fun but the natives would
definitely spoil it.
This had nothing to do with Li Du. He could communicate with the lion hunter privately,
and ask any questions that might occur to him. He could not, however, openly question
these traditions, no matter how much he was fed up with them.
What came next was the following scene: under the guidance of the chief, several old
people helped the teenagers to stroke their penis, and then the boys stood in a row,
holding their male part upright.
Li Du could not help but recall an incident from his childhood life when he and his
friends once compared whose urine stream spouted highest.
One could presume that, knowing what was coming, the teenagers must have practiced
a lot. Drinking a lot of water and holding urine in were other factors that would allow
them to pee higher.
Big Ivan looked straight with a frown, then quietly said, ”Sometime in the future we will
come to South Africa to sell prostate treatment medicine. They hold back urine for too
long, and will have prostate problems.”
Lu Guan gave him a high-five. ”Good idea, buddy, we are going to be millionaires.”
Some boys were really in a pitiful condition, as they got an erection from being stroked.
Naturally, it was very difficult to pee during an erection.
The boys who could only produce a few drops cried anxiously, letting out more liquid
through their tears than through their urine
Li Du didn't want to see this, but couldn't go. He was invited to witness the ceremony
and had to stay.
Lu Guan was mischievous and liked to misbehave. He looked with relish, and after a
