Chapter 959 Woman’s Gold (1/2)

Lilikas waved to Abdo, as cooking over a fire, and spoke a feords in Zulu

Abdo nodded silently and walked quickly forward

Sophie looked at the lion hunter and asked tentatively, ”What are they looking for?

Woman's Gold? It's a, uh, herb?”

She was an expert in Western er to herbal ood at che

redients froar, cut its end, and said, ”Yes, Woman's Gold It is

supposed to be called shea butter That is good stuff”

Sophie orried ”Is it reliable? Don't getyour

traditional medicine He is my fiancé, so I need to be careful”

The lion hunter lit his cigar, puffed out a cloud of smoke and said with a smile, ”I

understand! You can rest assured that it is very reliable I have seen many such cases

Shea butter can cure the burns in a few minutes”

Sophie was surprised ”So quickly?”

The lion hunter nodded and said no more, but showed a confident expression

Li Du asked, ”What is this Woman's Gold or shea butter? I don't know much about it”

Inwardly, he trusted Sophie's medical experiencehe had not heard of to treat skin afflictions What if it s worse?

All in all, Li Du was not a fierce man as unafraid of death With so much to lose,

such as his status and the power of the little bug, ould be not afraid of death?

However, he could not refuse the lion hunter's kindness directly

”Don't worry, it's very effective It is actually a type of fruit with a high amount of fat It is

rare in South Africa, and more often seen in North Africa,” said the lion hunter

Seeing the worries of Li Du and Sophie, he explained about the plant in detail What

would help Li Du's skin, he said, was not the shea wood, but the fruit of the tree

Like baobabs, these trees could grow to great heights They could reach a height of up

to 15 meters, have trunks more than one meter in diameter, and live for about 200 to

300 years Because of their longevity and height, they orshi+pped as sacred trees

in some North African tribes

The shea tree bore fruit with seed The trees bloomed from December to April yearly,

and their fruits would ripen fro nut-like seed in

it

The flesh of the fruit was edible, and the seeds were shelled and pressed for oil, which

was often used to make Schnauzer, a skin care product once favored by European

aristocrats

In South Africa, there were few shea woods Zulu people had legends clai that the

shea tree was protected by an invisible ical pohich could ward off evil spirits

so that its life cycle could be as long as several hundred years

They came across some tall shea trees on the road, but as that did not seem

unnecessary at the time, the lion hunter and his party did not pick the fruit Now that Li

Du had a severe burn, two people would go back to pick the fruit

The reason they didn't pick the fruit earlier just in case was that there were very few

shea trees in South Africa, and the local tribes prohibited people fro the nuts

unless they really needed to

Hearing the explanation of the lion hunter, Li Du was relieved

He had a new question ”If there are so few shea trees in South Africa, why not

transplant sorowth?”
