Chapter 966 Hadza (1/2)
The African grasslands were as wide as the sea In Li Du's eyes, the grasslands in this
season of the year appeared the same no matter where he looked If he were alone, he
would have lost his way
Fortunately, it was not necessary for hi the way
He was a human GPS of the prairie and remembered every path
However, no man is perfect, and sometimes Abdo would lead them astray Then they
would have to stop for a while to wait, while Abdo wandered around looking for the way
back
After walking for some time, Li Du saw a lush forest of a kind rarely seen on the
grasslands, and asked the lion hunter, ”Are we going the wrong way again?”
The lion hunter took a puff on his cigar and went to talk to Abdo When he returned, he
shook his head and said, ”We are not lost Abdo wants to find soe area, hundreds of hectares from the look of it Li Du
and the others failed to recognizein the area They were very
tall, and still had green and yellow leaves despite the season
There were fallen leaves on the ground They had just gone into the forest when Ah
Meow jumped sideways suddenly It waved its claws in the air, catching a snake and
throwing it down
At this, the lion hunter hastened to say, ”Be careful!”
As soon as he spoke, a blackthem warily
with his hands folded over his chest
It was nearly evening now The light was not so strong anymore, and the branches and
leaves obscured the view in the forest
Startled by the sudden appearance of the stranger, Li Du's first iun
However, the ression He stood and looked at the a word, arms crossed on his chest From behind his back, another man
appeared, assu on here?” asked Li Du
The lion hunter said lazily, ”Don't you recognize them? We had just met today”
Li Du responded at once, ”People from the Hadza tribe?”
The lion hunter nodded
The two men were unmarked, unpainted, and Li Du could not tell them apart from the
Zulu
Abdo looked back and said so The lion hunter said, ”They must have come for
honey, too We're competitors now Be careful, fellows”
Li Du said, ”For honey?”
”This is a big leaf-tree forest Honeybees like to build their nests in such a place There
will be several hives around here, with very good honey,” said the lion hunter
The Hadza had a different approach to looking for honey Every day when hunting, they
would pay attention to the location of the hives and collect honey later
Looking across at the Hadza, as showing neither aggression nor friendliness, he
asked, ”Nohat? We are not getting into a fight because of honey, are we?”
The lion hunter said conteht us? With their
javelins and bows? Ha, we have guns”
The bodyguard who had been frightened by the leopard took this opportunity to show
off He loaded his rifle and boasted, ”I can handle twenty of them by myself!”
Li Du waved his hand and said, ”Don't always go the way of armed conflict How can
you resolve this? Can you communicate?”
