The two old pickup trucks turned and headed northwest.
There were still many trees in the surrounding area, but it was no longer a primeval forest. It was just an ordinary forest.
A large number of small forests formed one after another. It looked like a primeval forest and was equally stunning.
In the car, Li Du asked, "The place where you found the diamonds, isn't that where Buick and the others are looking for diamonds? Is it that abandoned mine? "
Musa nodded and then shook his head. He said, "That's up to you. I've been there before, but most of them, well, most of them are not there, but there!"
He pointed to the northwest again.
Li Du recalled what Buick had said when he had arranged women for them but not for Musa. Musa had been very dissatisfied with the arrangement.
Thinking back, he remembered what Musa had said. He had been angry and then told him that he was wrong.
Because Musa was not fluent in Chinese, Li Du had not understood what he had said. Now that he thought about it, Musa must have reminded him that the diamond mine he was talking about was not the abandoned mine.
Li Du nodded to Brother Wolf. "Step on the gas and drive faster."
Brother Wolf said, "The road conditions are too bad. If we go any faster, the car will fall apart."
Even so, these old cars could not adapt to the rugged forest and mountainous environment.
The cars went round and round the mountainous terrain. In less than an hour, the two cars broke down a total of five times. Fortunately, Brother Wolf and Big Ivan were experts in repairing cars.
Just like that, with the two of them racking their brains and planning, the cars were finally able to drive on intermittently.
Li Du found it hard to believe. He said to Musa, "This place is very far from your tribe, right? It takes so long to drive. How did you find the diamond mine? "
Musa said, "Climb the mountain, we can find it directly. Let's go."
Li Du said, "You mean, if we don't drive, we can climb the mountain faster? We don't need to take a detour? Then, how long did you guys walk? "
Musa crossed his arms and did not speak. It was not that he did not want to speak. He kept mumbling, but no sound came out.
Li Du waited for a while and asked, "How long did you guys walk? Why can't you tell me? "
Musa mumbled, "Very, very long, I'm still thinking."
Li Du was shocked. "How long did you guys walk?"
Musa thought for a while and finally said, "Very, very long!"
Li Du: "…"
At the end of September, South Africa began to enter the rainy season, and the weather changed abruptly.
It had been less than four days since the last heavy rain. In the morning, as their car traveled along the rugged mountain road, Li Du saw that the sky was red. He said, "The morning glow doesn't leave the house, and the sunset glow can travel a thousand miles. Is it going to rain again?"
At noon, the sky was overcast with dark clouds, and another heavy rain poured down with a pitter patter.
Seeing this, Brother Wolf, who was about to start a fire to cook, immediately jumped up and said, "Let's go!"
Li Du saw that he was in a hurry to get into the car and asked, "What's wrong? Will there be mudslides here? "
Brother Wolf shook his head. "No, this is a stone mountain, not a dirt mountain. There are many trees and stones, so the chances of a mudslide are not high. However, it's easy for water to accumulate, causing the exhaust pipe and engine to flood. If that happens, we're done for! "
Even if they got back in time, the pickup would soon be finished.
The rain was too heavy, and the mountain road was too difficult to walk on. In the end, the car still collapsed.
Brother Wolf went down and used a stone to jam the tires. When he came back, he simply locked the car.
Outside, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the wind and rain mixed together. Inside the car, it was fine. At least there was no wind and rain coming in.
Li Du said, "Fortunately, when we bought the car, we specially bought two with the best interior. Otherwise, we would be in trouble today."
Sophie had no problem with the extreme weather. She squeezed in the back seat with the little ones, rested her chin on her hands, and smiled. "What trouble? Admiring the rain in a place like this is not an easy thing to come by. "
The rain in South Africa was very heavy, but it was also very clear. The rainwater splashed down on the rocks and trees on the mountain, washing the rocks cleaner and the leaves greener.
It was because of the heavy rain that the trees and flowers in South Africa became red and green after winter.
This time, it was fine. The rain fell for a day and a night, and the weather cleared up at noon the next day.
The group carried their luggage and continued to drive northwest with Musa.
This road was not smooth. Musa needed to constantly explore the surrounding environment to awaken his memory and find the place where he had found the diamond.
Li Du was not in a hurry and did not rush Musa. He felt that it was not easy for Musa to remember this road.
Pygmies were born with a terrifyingly strong sense of direction. In addition, they had another innate ability, which was visual observation.
At night, next to the campfire, a moth flew in front of them. Musa could instantly see the lines on the moth's wings!
After leaving the car, they walked for close to three days. In the evening, they set foot on a barren mountain.
Li Du was about to ask Brother Wolf to arrange for everyone's accommodation when Musa suddenly jumped up excitedly. "It's here, it's here! It's here! "
Looking at his excited expression, Li Du immediately understood what he meant and said, "Almost all of your diamonds were found here?"
Musa nodded vigorously.
Li Du was about to release the little bug when Musa looked around. Suddenly, he ran two steps up the hill and picked up something from a place where water flowed. He smiled and said, "Look!"
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the little thing in his hand glowed with a sparkling luster.
Li Du groaned, "D * mn, a diamond!"
Yes, it was a diamond!
Sophie and the others ran to the small stream and searched the surroundings carefully.
In fact, it was not a stream. Instead, it was because of the heavy rain a few days ago. Many places on the mountain had accumulated rainwater. These days, the rainwater gradually flowed out and formed many small rivers.
The water flowed continuously down the mountain, washing a lot of sand and stones down from high places. Along the way, the sand and stones would continue to wash down. After a long time, the rainwater accumulated around the small rivers.
Not long after, Brother Wolf happily opened his hands and smiled. "Boss, look."
It was another rough diamond!
Li Du was so excited that he wanted to shout. Musa had brought him a big gift!
This was a rare rich diamond mine. Diamonds had appeared in the sand layer on the surface. This was very rare in diamond mines.
Half a century ago, there were many such rich mines in many places in Africa. Today, with the large-scale development of human beings, these mines have become a thing of legend.
One after another, more people found diamonds. When the sun set, the few of them had found something. Musa found the most, with four small rough diamonds.
Li Du took a deep breath and asked Musa, "Who else knows about this place?"
Musa said a few names in his native language. Li Du did not understand and asked, "Are they your people? Where are they now? "
