Chapter 617

I asked Helen how far away she was?

She told me that although the roads were bumpy and cars could not drive on them, local black people could be hired to ride in ox carts.

"Ox cart?"

"If you don't take the ox cart, you have to walk slowly with your feet."

"Do you go to mantuo by ox cart?"

"Sometimes I sit, sometimes I don't. If I want to save money, I'll walk on two legs. I used to wear ointment to prevent snake venom when I went out, but now I've run out of ointment. The ointment was also given to me by a local black wizard. I think we'd better take a bus. "

It's easy to hire a bullock cart. But when the owner of the ox cart saw that they were two women, not with men, he began to ask for money. As soon as we hear that we are going to mantuo, it is even more dangerous and barbaric. We'd better give us dollars.

Dollars? I only have Rand. I haven't had time to change US dollars. Helen held her hand to me and asked if I had any dollars? I thought about it and asked a black woman, "do you want gold? I don't have dollars, but I have gold. "

I have a gold necklace around my neck. I took the necklace off and handed it to her: "this, do you want it? Pure gold, no worse than US dollars! "

Black women took it. She looked at her husband and nodded“ All right, you get in

The ox cart was very high, so Helen and I jumped on it. The cart was very dirty. Black cow dung was everywhere. As soon as I got on the bus, I covered my nose. I couldn't stand the smell of cow dung. I have forgotten that I am a pregnant woman. Helen is used to it. She smiles at me and takes a cool sip of cheap soda from a roadside stand, making a noise. I look at Helen. I look at this white woman. I think she is also a woman with stories and experiences.

At dusk, the black couple told us to get out of the car. The woman waved the Bullwhip in her hand and told us, "there's a path from here. Hurry to go there before dark." I suspect they are lying to me. However, Helen patted me on the shoulder and reminded me, "get out of the car, black people will mess. If they're not happy, we're still in the car. They're going to fight. "

As soon as I heard it, I jumped out of the car. This jump did not jump steady, it fell to the ground.

It hurts. I want to cry at this moment. Subconsciously, I covered my belly. I only hurt my ankle, and I didn't feel any discomfort in my lower abdomen. Helen pulled me up“ Let's go. Let's go. "

"Helen, will there be snakes on the way?"

"Yes, maybe if you're lucky, you'll see a beautiful rattlesnake."

Rattlesnakes?

"Don't be afraid when you see snakes. Snakes don't attack people as long as they don't approach it intentionally. " Helen wrapped the scarf on my head and painted something on my face. "Well, although you are a Chinese woman, you look like a lighter black man from a distance. Let's go. Now that we are all here, we must go to mantuo. Follow me. Don't be afraid. Manto, I've been here. I know who killed my husband. That's the chief's brother. But before, I couldn't find a chance to start. But if the chief's daughter gets married this time, this guy will definitely come back and show up at the banquet. "

When Helen finished, she looked at me apologetically and said that she shouldn't use the word "marriage" without considering my feelings.

"Nothing. I want to find my husband. He's alive after all. But you're different. Your husband's gone. I should think about how you feel. " Along the way, Helen and I, though not of the same nation or race, developed a feeling of mutual sympathy.

The black couple was right. We did get to mantuo village before dark. We were lucky. We walked all the way, carrying a heavy potato basket, and didn't meet a snake or even a wild boar. South Africa is located in the southern hemisphere with long days and short nights. It's just dark now, but it's estimated to be 8 p.m. local time.

i am hungry.

Helen also gasped for breath, saying that there was no need to worry, just ahead. Why don't you sit down and bake some potatoes for dinner. She went to the stream to get some water and put it in the water jar. She asked me if I would drink? I shook my head. I was worried about bacteria in the water. Helen jumped into the tree and planted some apples for me“ You can eat this. "

I look to the nearby village of mantuo. It's beautiful. The sunset in the sky is covered with strange and gorgeous colors, and the whole village seems to be covered with a layer of gloomy and mysterious veil. I heard the barking of dogs and the moo of bison.

The houses in mantuo village are almost oval umbrella shaped thatched houses. No, I'm wrong. Maybe it's not a thatched cottage. The walls of the house should be made of wood. They look very solid. So, luoweisen, was he locked up in one of the umbrella shaped rooms?

In a flash, I felt like I was crossing. Through to ancient times, no, ancient times, I am not in China, I left the ancient land of dense Chinese civilization, I walked through Eurasia, across the Nile, all the way south, I went to the most wild area.

It's incredible.

Helen suddenly reminded me, "look, do you see the fire? They lit a bonfire. It seems that these natives will dance and celebrate in the evening. "

I saw a bunch of dazzling fire. It seems that I can smell the food.

"They usually light a bonfire and dance on happy occasions." Helen took my hand. "Maybe today is your husband's and chief's daughter..."

My heart is very complicated. I'm just worried about Lawson's body.

"Well, let's keep going."

"Yes, keep going. Tonight, they have no defenses. Everyone who comes into the village is their guest. " Helen reminded me that the pistol must be hidden“ Can you shoot? "

I really want to thank Xie Ying for that. At the beginning, she reported to a shooting training department. She didn't think it was interesting to be alone, so she asked me to go. I also learned to shoot. I nodded to Helen“ I will

She gritted her teeth and touched the dynamite hidden in the potato“ Tonight, it's also the time for that guy to die! "

"If you need my help, let me know." In my opinion, Helen and I are allies in the war, friends who can depend on each other for life and death.
