Chapter 251 Paradise Tribe

  This afternoon, on a bumpy dirt road, Guo Pingfan drove a several-year-old Land Rover Defender, carrying Ding Mu and Xu Hening, towards the primitive tribe in the center of the island. This road is a dirt road leading to the depths of the rainforest. It is built along a small river. This road is also the only road that can be opened to traffic in the interior of the plane. It is far worse than the expressway by the sea. There are no tourist cars, only a few local off-road vehicles.

  Ding Mu sat in the co-pilot, while Xu Hening sat in the back seat. Ding Mu chatted with Guo Pingfan, and asked, "Uncle Pingfan, I don't think your identity is that simple! As far as your martial arts are concerned, you can't do it without more than ten years of hard work."

   "Older people, naturally richer experience, I lived in the capital before. Who would want to leave their hometown and come to such a far place!" Guo Pingfan said slowly.

  Ding Mu understood 70% to 80% as soon as he heard it. It seems that Uncle Guo might have caused some trouble in Dahua before? Then he fled to the aircraft country to do business. At his age, when he grew up, Dahua was not very stable. However, judging from his many skills, this guy is very likely to be an agent with professional military training. It's just that he doesn't want to talk about this topic, and Ding Mu has no way to force him to ask.

   Along the way, the scenery is very special. It's a bit like a tropical rainforest, but it's not so hazy. There are special vegetation everywhere, which is basically not seen in Dahua. Xu Hening sat on the back seat, sitting on the left for a while, and sitting on the right for a while, holding a mobile phone, taking pictures here and there, and the phone album is full of novel scenes.

  After walking for a while, Ding Mu also saw a lot of pedestrians walking along the two sides of the road and the path along the river bank. Many aborigines carried wooden baskets and a lot of luggage, and walked towards the depths of the rain forest step by step.

  Ding Mu asked curiously: "Are these people walking to the middle of the island instead of taking a car?"

Guo Pingfan nodded and said: "Yes, the main island of the aircraft country is actually not very big. Even if you walk from the sea to the center, it is about 100 kilometers away. With their foot strength at most two days, it will be about 100 kilometers away. I can walk back to the tribe on foot. In this case, I can save a lot of money."

  Ding Mu nodded to show that it was easy to understand, and then continued to ask: "How many tribes are you talking about?"

Guo Pingfan thought for a while and said, "There are about ten big ones, and countless small ones. But there is only one biggest one, which is the mother clan of all the tribes, called the Heavenly Tribe. The other tribes are all separated from this one tribe. Yes, what we are going to is the largest and most solemn paradise."

Turning his head to see Ding Mu listening carefully, Guo Pingfan continued: "These tribes all retain the most primitive way of life. There is no running water, no electricity, no internet, and no mobile phone signal. They live the most primitive life. , hunting and gathering in the rainforest. However, it is because of the current road. The tribe is also changing. Modern life is also affecting the tribe. It may be another three to five years. The real authentic tribal life is I can't see it!"

Ding Mu nodded. He knew that this kind of modern life was a subversive and fatal blow to primitive life. If people in the tribe were assimilated by modern society, they would step from primitive society to modern society every minute. Life. It may cause the extinction of a primitive culture. However, these may also be inevitable! One day, these closed primitive cultures living in the deep mountains and old forests will enter the museum and disappear into the rolling river of history.

   After chatting for a while, the road felt more and more difficult. Although it can still be seen that it has been repaired, it is just potholes, probably soaked in rainwater, and some are rotten. The ruts are deep and it is difficult to walk. It is not an off-road vehicle that cannot pass at all. With Guo Pingfan's technology, the driving speed can be maintained at about 15 kilometers per hour, which is not much faster than people walking.

  In the evening, the three of them came to the only slightly modern motel near the tribe to rest for a while. It was a night of tossing and turning.

  The next morning, it was just dawn, and I was able to continue driving. Guo Pingfan took Ding Mu and Xu Hening to continue walking into the depths of the rainforest. Today is the day of offering sacrifices. In about half an hour, the three of them arrived at the location of the Heavenly Tribe. Guo Pingfan parked the car far away, and the three got out of the car with their luggage.

  Getting out of the car, Ding Mu sighed: "It really feels like heaven, so beautiful. The air is also good, and the oxygen content in it must be high." The place is very empty, and there is the sound of gurgling water around. Except that the sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the eyes are green. Xu Hening was already taking pictures everywhere.

   There are some wooden carvings standing in the tribe, the style is probably similar, and they all seem to be different from the reproductive worship wood carving that Xu Hening chose for Ding Mu. Obviously, this kind of woodcarving resembles the totem of this tribe.

  The tribe has entered a festive atmosphere of sacrifice. Many men lined up and danced together with their dark upper bodies and thick grass skirts on their lower bodies. The children were in groups of three and five, playing unknown games in a circle.

  Ding Mu walked into the tribe. I feel that the people in the tribe are not as scary and xenophobic as imagined. People along the road saw them, and they all cast curious eyes, but no one came to ask, and no one came to stop them, allowing them to move freely in the tribe. Anyway, there is nothing of value to worry about here.

  Guo Pingfan led Ding Mu and Xu Hening directly through several huts and walked to the tallest hut in the center of the tribe. The huts of the planes are very characteristic. First surround a fence, and then use thatch to build a conical, or nearly conical, house with windows at half a person's height below and a high pile on top. This largest hut in the center of the tribe is where the chief of the tribe lives.

  The three of them walked to the chief's hut just like that. Guo Pingfan walked in directly. He spoke BULA in the local dialect, then took out a wad of money and handed it over, and started talking with the chief in English. "My guests are from Dahua. We want to take a look at the local sacrificial activities and hope to participate together."

  The chief is a very literate person, at least he knows the dollar. Guo Pingfan handed over five 100 dollar knives, and he was immediately overjoyed. He extended a warm welcome to Ding Mu and Xu Hening, and wanted to receive guests from faraway places with the highest courtesy. He asked someone to bring out a kind of wine, and invited Ding Mu and Xu Hening to drink it. He also introduced that the name of this wine was Kula.

  Hospitality is hard to come by, Ding Mu took two sips and felt a kind of earthy smell. The taste is really ordinary, but it is quite refreshing. Guo Pingfan smiled and said: "It is said that there are some prohibited ingredients in it! It's very rare."
