Chapter 968 Primitive Visi (2/2)

Cheeks

Li Du was surprised The worandson

When Cheeks returned, so with

roasting meat and clumps of roots

After a while, the smell of food filled the air, and the sleepy hunters woke up one after

another They did not wash, but stretched themselves and sat by the ca wolish,

”hello, guest, please eat”

Li Du thanked her and took the stick to gnaw on a piece of meat He felt as this was a

barbeque party in his university campus It was enjoyable

The ood It had a fishy sely

unsalted and unseasoned, which was so Li Du was not used to

Also, the roasted ravy or fat, and tasted very woody Li Du had

difficulty chewing it

The Hadza were very hospitable people, maybe because they were always on the

to make more new friends Li Du

instantly beca, some people came over to propose

a toast

Their drink, a fruit wine they made themselves, looked cloudy and sour

Li Du did not make a fuss, however, since it was clear that the Hadza were used to

drinking this ith no ill effects He saluted his hosts, raised his cup and drank

This fruit wine didn't sood, but it had a pleasant taste, like juice , with a fruity aroood at the first sip

Li Du drained a cup in one gulp The hunters laughed and nodded to him

Cheeks covered Li Du's head with an animal's skull Its upper part resembled a human

head, but the lower part ider and had two hideous fangs

Li Du tried to understand what anied to, remembered the words of

Brother Wolf, and asked, ”Is this the skull of a baboon?”

”Yes, we Hadza give this as a gift to our guests,” said Cheeks, nodding with a s a baboon skull, Li Du held a cup of wine in his left hand and a barbeque stick

in his right It tasted of wilderness

While the hunters ate, the old, the weak, the women and the children made tools and

prepared equipment for them, cooked lunch over open fires, and so on, busy and

orderly, with a sense of rhythm in life

Li Du chewed the roast meat and asked Cheeks what they intended to do next ”How

long are you going to stay in this grassland? Where are you going?”

”For us Hadza, there are no seasons, just dry and rainy We move around and collect

food when it is the dry season When the rainy season comes, we et away fro to spend soo north to look for

breadfruit trees and prepare for the rainy season”

”You have received higher education and understand modern society Why not lead

your tribe to refor the rainy season,”

suggested Li Du

Cheeks laughed and shook his head ”No, I have no right to do that The tribe has

passed down many traditions that may not be modern, but are the key to our survival”

He paused and went on, ”I studied medicine I can help people prevent and cure

diseases, but I cannot deny their right to go on with their traditions”
