1028. Snake Tribe (2/5)

The police thought they were tricky, and they looked at Li Du and the miners proudly.

As a result, the police who searched Li Du tried their best, but nothing was found except for some daily necessities and tools, and there were no diamonds inside!

The police searched his body, searched the other people's luggage and their bodies, but they still had no gains.

In the end, Sophie was left without searching her. The young man named Scotty smiled and reached out to her. Brother Wolf kicked him to the ground and stuffed the gun directly into his mouth.

The police were furious, and Li Du became even more furious. He pointed at the group and shouted: "Who dares to try it! I swear that I will throw you all into prison! Your family! Your children! My mercenaries will definitely treat them well!"

The atmosphere became tense again, the tall policeman's expression was ferocious, and he looked at Li Du viciously.

Li Du refused to give in and looked at him with a more fierce look.

After a confrontation, the tall policeman took a step back. He said angrily: "Get off the team, let's go!"

Seeing the police leaving reluctantly, the black people around Buick immediately cheered: "Long live the God of Gibra!"

Buick came over with a smile. He was about to speak, but Li Du said first: "Pack up the things, let's go quickly, leave here first!"

He was worried about the police's trouble.

Buick issued an order, and people followed his command, pushed a cart, carried sacks, and bags to leave the abandoned mine.

On the way, Buick said to Li Du: "You have helped us a lot. Mr. Li, please visit our tribe. We have to thank you."

Li Du asked, "Are you from the same tribe?"

Buick smiled and said, "Yes, we are the Gibra tribe, but Gibra is our language. You may not understand what it means. In English, we are the snake tribe."

Li Du thought about it and agreed to his request. He happened to find someone to find out the distribution of diamond mines in this area. Buick and others should be able to help him.

No wonder Buick is so prestigious among these black people. They are all from the same tribe. Buick is also the chief, and the others are his tribe members.

When the police appeared, the people from the Gibra tribe came to Buick to confront the police, and those who fled across the river were not from the Gibra tribe.

Their losses were heavy this time, and all their gains for several months were taken away.

Speaking of this, Buick thanked Li Du again, and Li Du waved his hand and said, "This is nothing, I'll help you. By the way, why are the police so dark?"

Buick sighed and said, "That's how they are. They will come to the mine every once in a while to loot. We have no choice but to beg God Jibra to bless them."

He introduced Li Du to Li that this kind of thing is common and they often encounter it.

After the diamond mine went bankrupt and was abandoned, poor people in surrounding villages and tribes often came here to try their luck.

It is unlikely that they can dig diamonds. They often work hard for a month or two to harvest a small diamond. If they sell the diamonds for money, the family's expenses depend entirely on this.

When the police found out that they had gained something, they started to do nothing. The surrounding police would come to search for them every once in a while, finding a reason to drive them away and leaving their diamonds behind.

For example, this time, the police said that there was a mudslide after the heavy rain. This sounds nice, but in fact, they wanted to use reasons to drive them away and loot diamonds.

As the number of times comes, fewer and fewer people come here to look for ore, but there are always people who are short of money to try their luck, so the police attack them and make a fortune.

The police called this behavior "grafting wheat", which means that one crop will be cut and another crop will be cut.

Li Du nodded to show his understanding, and he said, "Is there any rule for the police to act every time? For example, how long does it take to do it?"

Buick said: "There is no regularity in time. They will organize some people to be spies. The spies do not look for diamonds, but check our harvest. When they find that we have more harvests, they will notify the police to harvest wheat."

Li Du suddenly realized and said, "When you first met, did you expel us because you treated us as spies?"

Buick smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, we are always more wary of strangers."

It’s not their fault for being alert. They have gained a lot during this period and have found diamonds. The most feared thing is that the police come to raid and plunder.

Besides, it is obvious that there are spies among them, but the spies are not Li Du and others.

The Gibra tribe to which Buick belongs is not far from the mine, and it looks like it is about twenty kilometers.

They were used to walking on mountain roads, and even if they pushed the car, they were walking very quickly. They only took less than three hours to return to the tribe.

The Jibra tribe is different from the tribe Li Du met before, and it is more like a village.

The houses of tribal members are gathered together, surrounded by walls made of wooden boards, and vines are covered with vines.

There are cars and motorcycles entering and leaving the door. People wear modern clothes and no longer wear grass skirts or animal skins.

This is the common South African tribe. Now all tribes are civilized. People no longer eat raw meat and drink blood like before, but communicate with external society and become more modern.

Li Du wanted to take photos when approaching this tribe, but as soon as he approached the wall, he saw two colorful snakes slowly passing through the vines.

Subconsciously, he said, "Hey, there are snakes on the wall, be careful."

But soon he realized that this might be normal. Buick said that the English name of the Gibra tribe is the Snake Tribe, and the snake may be their totem.

He told Buick the guess, and Buick laughed and said, "You guessed it wrong. The snake is not our totem, it is our food and the source of money."

When he entered the tribe, Li Du first saw a large flat square, where some women and children made white and round things on it.

These are skinned snakes. Buick said that the dried snake meat will be sent to restaurants in the city, and they will also sell snake skins to handicraft stores.

"The most valuable thing is the venomous snake serum. This is very expensive. It used to be as expensive as diamonds, but it is dangerous and difficult to obtain venomous snake serum. Now some people have started to breed venomous snakes manually. The price of serum has decreased, so we have no money." Buick shook his head as he said.

The Gibra tribe now has two ways to make money, one is the traditional snake catching and selling, and the other is to look for broken diamonds.

When they arrived at the tribe, everything became safe. Li Du took out a diamond from his backpack and handed it to Buick.

Buick distributed it to everyone according to the mark on the small bag, and cheers came to mind again around him.

After sending out the diamonds, Buick said curiously: "Mr. Li, where did you hide the diamonds just now? I thought they would definitely find them when they searched your backpack."

Li Du pointed to a hidden compartment of the backpack and said, "Fortunately, they were careless, otherwise our losses would be great."
