Buick was puzzled and wanted to ask more questions. Li Du changed the topic and began to ask about the distribution of the surrounding diamond mines.
As the border between South Africa and Botswana, there were indeed many diamond mines around. Most of them had been nationalized by the governments of the two countries.
Working in a diamond mine was not only low-paid but also very tiring.
In addition, the tribes in South Africa were very ostracized. The Gibra tribe led by Buick was a small tribe, and because they had always dealt with poisonous snakes, the other tribes thought they were as cunning as snakes and did not want to interact with them.
In fact, in Li Du's opinion, the people of Buick and the Gibra tribe were very forthright and enthusiastic.
They knew that it was Li Du who saved the diamonds, so they were very kind to him. Lunch was a sumptuous roasted snake meat and snake soup, and dinner was still snake meat.
During dinner, Buick even said that in order to welcome the arrival of Li Du, a distinguished guest, they would pick a good day to hold a celebration.
However, the dinner was not pleasant, because in the second half of the dinner, the policeman with the mohawk, Scotty, came back.
He came back with a lot of fanfare. He drove a police pickup truck with a lot of things in it and went from house to house.
Li Du put down his bowl. Buick waved his hand and said, "Continue eating, don't worry about this b * stard."
"Yes, Mr. Li, eat, eat, eat."
"Eat meat and drink wine!" The people in the tribe greeted them enthusiastically.
After dinner, the tribe had other enthusiastic arrangements. A few dark-skinned girls with big breasts and buttocks were sent over to accompany the distinguished guests for the night.
Li Du was shocked when he saw these dark-skinned girls. He could not eat black pearls, so he waved his hands and said that he had brought his wife and could not have sex with other women.
Buick nodded in understanding and said, "Okay, then the other brothers, one for each!"
Brother Wolf and the others were anxious. He said sincerely, "My wife died because of me. I once swore to be chaste for her for the rest of my life!"
Buick gave him a thumbs up. "Good man, the other brothers?"
Big Quinn gritted his teeth. "I am impotent!"
Buick said regretfully, "That's a pity. Don't worry, our tribe doctor has a unique treatment skill. He will treat you tomorrow!"
Godzilla was a man of few words, but he was actually very smart. He said, "We Mexicans are religious. We can't have relations with infidels."
Buick had nothing to say about this. He looked at Lu Guan, who liked to play petty tricks. He said, "I like men, not women."
Buick clenched his teeth. A few strong black men came from behind …
Waking up early in the morning, Li Du saw Lu Guan yawning. He smiled and asked, "Hey, bro, how was your night? How did those handsome men serve you? "
Lu Guan's yawn was stuck in his throat, like a toad that was being pinched by the neck.
The others laughed mockingly. Only the short Musa was dissatisfied. He muttered, "Woah, is it hygienic? Where's Mega Wave?"
He was very interested in the black beauties of the Gibra tribe. It was a pity that Buick skipped over him and did not ask for his opinion. This made him very sad.
Li Du teased, "Because you're still a child."
This answer hurt Musa. He looked at Li Du and said, "WO, divine artifact, angry! If I don't tell mud, mud will do it! "
Sophie walked out from behind and happened to hear what he said. She asked, "What did Li do?"
Musa left unhappily and said, "Mud will do it! Mud will do it! If I don't tell you, I won't tell you now! "
Li Du did not understand what he said. He wanted to ask what he meant. If he had hurt Musa, he was willing to apologize.
At that moment, Buick came out. He saw them laughing and said, "Hey, Mr. Li, you guys are up early."
Li Du said, "I'm used to waking up early. Besides, we still have things to do. Actually, I wanted to say goodbye to you. I think we have to leave today."
Hearing this, Buick panicked. He said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is it because we're not enthusiastic? Oh, Gibra, forgive me. I will improve! "
Li Du quickly waved his hands. "No, no, no. You're very enthusiastic. It's just that we still have things to do."
Buick said, "It must be because we're not enthusiastic enough. Maybe you're like the other tribes, thinking that we're cold-blooded like snakes …"
Since he had said that, what else could Li Du say? How could he continue insisting on leaving?
However, he had to make things clear. "Chief Buick, you're very enthusiastic. I'm very touched. But we really have things to do. So we'll stay for another day. We have to leave tomorrow."
Buick smiled. "Leave after the celebration? It'll be held tomorrow. It'll be over in two days at most. It was supposed to be held today, but we have to renovate the houses today. "
He pointed in the direction of the tribe and continued, "The rain is very heavy. Some houses have been washed away. We have to rebuild them."
Li Du said, "Rebuild the houses? Won't that take a few days? "
Buick shook his head and said, "No need. It can be done today. You can come and take a look. It's different from the houses you Americans build."
Li Du smiled. "I'm from China. They're from America."
"It's also different from the houses you Chinese build."
It was indeed different. The houses of the Gibra tribe were not modern concrete houses, nor were they brick houses. They were not the common wooden houses in the United States, nor were they the mud-walled houses that were common in China more than half a century ago.
Their houses were first pieced together with wooden planks to make the frame of a house. For example, the walls were nailed together. Then, two large pieces of wooden planks were placed opposite each other and inserted into the ground.
The space between the walls was empty and could not shelter the house from the wind and rain. However, the people of the Gibra tribe had a way. They filled the space with sand and stones and pasted the outside with clay to form a wall.
The houses of their tribe were very simple. They just had four walls and a load-bearing wall. Then, they added a roof.
No wonder Buick said that they built the houses quickly. The project was indeed very short.
You get what you pay for. The houses built this way were not very durable. They could only live for five or six years at most. After that, they had to rebuild them.
This time, the heavy rain washed away the clay on the walls and the sand between the planks. This caused the walls to collapse because they could no longer bear the weight of the roof.
Under Buick's command, the tribe began to build new houses.
Building new houses was a big deal for the tribe. As it required a lot of sand and planks, it could not be done by just one or two families. Everyone came to help.
The owners did not need to pay for the cost of the work. They only needed to prepare a big meal.
The strong black men mixed the sand, the experienced old men cut the planks, and the women and children either helped to prepare lunch or picked up stones.
The children of the tribe were not afraid of meat or fish. They could play with anything. Some people carried buckets of water and mud. Some children jumped into the mud to take a bath or played with the mud.
