After packing up, Li Du was ready to leave. At this time, the pygmy Musa stood beside him and reached out to grab his shirt.
Because of their size, it looked like a child pulling an adult. Coupled with the terrified expression on the pygmy's face, it made him look very pitiful.
However, Li Du could not bring him to South Africa. He said, "You can stay here or leave. You understand me, right? I promise, the general will not make things difficult for you. "
Musa said slowly, "Leave in one go, yay yay, papa —"
Li Du laughed and interrupted him. "Don't call me grandpa or papa. You can call me 'Li' or Mr. Li. Either is fine."
"Leave in one go, yay yay," Musa continued.
Li Du said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to bring you, but I won't go to your tribe. I want to go to South Africa. Do you know South Africa?"
He pointed to the south, and Musa nodded. "Wo, nali."
"You mean, your tribe is also in the south?" Li Du asked in surprise.
As far as he knew, the pygmy tribes were distributed in the rainforests of central Africa. In addition, they were found in the Andaman Islands, the Malay Peninsula, the Philippines, and some islands in Oceania. However, they were only similar in size and might not be of the same tribe.
From a biological point of view, the pygmies and Li Du and the others might not be the same species. The area they lived in was isolated from the black, yellow, and white people. It might have caused reproductive isolation.
Musa continued to nod. "Stone, south."
Li Du said, "Then I can bring you to South Africa, but in the end, we still have to go our separate ways."
He guessed that this guy did not understand the idiom, so he changed his words. "Still have to go our separate ways."
Musa opened his other hand and said, "This brother, wo yue."
Seeing what was in his hand, Li Du's pupils shrank.
What was in his hand? A small, gray, oval-shaped stone. A raw diamond the size of a soybean!
This raw diamond was quite pure. Although it had not been cut, its clear texture and perfect shape indicated a lot: it was very valuable and could be sold for at least tens of thousands of dollars!
Li Du picked up the diamond and asked in surprise, "Where did you get this? Where did you get this? "
Musa said slowly, "Wo Yue, it's Wo Yue, the one who preys on the general."
Li Du remembered the vague words he had said before. He did not think much about it at that time, but now, with the diamond and his words, he suddenly gasped.
"Are you saying that you brought these diamonds in? You didn't find it in the general's territory? "
Musa nodded. "Yes, yes. It can be turned into food. Yes, Wo brought it and turned it into food."
Li Du understood what he meant. He knew that these diamonds could be exchanged for food in the General's territory, so he brought these diamonds to the General's mine from somewhere.
From time to time, he would take out a diamond and exchange it for food. Li Du had seen this before, and he had even seen him pull a diamond out of his anus.
But at the time, like the general, he believed that Musa had stolen the diamond and hidden it.
Now, according to Musa, he did not hide it. Not only did he not hide the General's diamond, but he gave his own diamond to the General.
After understanding what was going on, Li Du still had some doubts. If Musa's tribe was in South Africa, how did he bring the diamonds across the border? If diamonds were so easy to bring out, why would Remonin make the unnecessary effort to cooperate with him?
Also, how did he know that Remonin could exchange diamonds for food?
He raised the question, but Musa's Mandarin was not very good. He could say simple things, but he could not express complicated things.
According to him, it seemed that someone from his tribe had worked in Remonin's mine and brought back food. He told Musa that these stones could be exchanged for food.
When he crossed the border, he used the leaves of a plant to wrap the diamond and stuff it into his anus. That way, even though he was checked by the border guards, he was not found.
In addition, this piece was the same as the one he had taken out from the mine. It was usually hidden in his anus.
Musa could tell that he wanted these diamonds and told him that if he wanted, he could follow him. He knew a place that produced these stones.
This answer made Li Du very excited. Musa could very well know the location of a diamond mine. If he could find it, then this trip to Africa could be over!
Decisively, Li Du decided to bring him along. After all, they were going to South Africa in the same direction.
Remonin did not care about this. He let Musa go and prepared many specialties of the Golden Grass tribe for Li Du. There were all kinds of fruit wine, dried meat, and preserved fruits to thank Li Du for his help.
Li Du had indeed helped him a lot. Not only did he buy the diamonds, but he had also helped Remonin eradicate Good's power. He had also allowed Remonin to take over Good's weapons, food, medicine, and various tools.
The latter was more important than money. There were many things that Remonin could not buy even if he had money.
He sent Li Du to the helicopter and then led the convoy to Good's military camp.
After the funeral, he had been busy looking for things in Good's military camp. According to his plan, he probably wanted to move the entire military camp over, not leaving a single brick or tile behind.
After taking over Good's military camp, Remonin's tribe's military strength had increased greatly. The military strength of the surrounding tribes could not compare to his. He could even take on the regular army of the government.
It was more troublesome to leave the border. Musa did not belong to their team. When they entered the country, they did not bring Musa with them. Now that they were leaving with him, they would be checked by the border police.
In addition, he had brought along a little flathead. The approval process for wild animals entering the country was very complicated.
Fortunately, Musa had immigration records. Secondly, he was a pygmy. Pygmies were idiots in the eyes of Africans. The border did not think that such idiots would be a threat.
As for the flathead? Lion Hunter used some extra income to settle the matter.
After crossing the border, the helicopter flew to Durban.
Li Du raised his hand and said, "I swear, unless it is necessary business, I will never go to any other African region except South Africa!"
Lion Hunter cooperated and said, "I'm not going either. God, other places are too chaotic. They are all barbarians. There are many barbarians in South Africa. D * mn it, I'm going to immigrate to America!"
Li Du patted his shoulder and smiled. "America welcomes you."
It had been nearly two weeks since he had left Durban and returned.
The helicopter landed at the hotel. Sophie, who was wearing a long flowing dress, came to pick them up with the four little ones.
Before the two of them could catch up, the four little ones rushed up and stared at a backpack.
The backpack moved and Little Flathead's head popped out.
