Big Islander 2

Chapter 261 I'm Actually a Wizard Too
"You bloody invaders!" Chief Andy roared loudly at Tang Jide, but after the big star waved his little paw at him, the burly man squatted on the ground immediately, and then with a look of grief and indignation, he I was really scared of being caught by the big star.

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head. It was the first time he was regarded as an invader, so he shook his head: "If we are really invaders, we will destroy your tribe directly. We really have no malicious intentions, but Nini Since she is already our partner, she cannot be bullied. Mr. Chief, what are you going to do when you catch her back?"

Chief Andy had studied outside for a few days when he was young, so he could only speak English. He thought about what Tang Jide said, and finally he had to admit in his heart that what this big man said made sense: Although there are few people in the family, they are still Unarmed, but the warriors in their tribe couldn't beat others.

So he replied angrily: "Nico is my daughter, how should I treat her, I don't need outsiders to point fingers!"

Tang Jide smacked his lips: "Then you have to ask Nini if ​​she recognizes you as your father. You know, we brought her and the monkeys back. Otherwise, Nini will live with monkeys for the rest of her life."

Mr. Chief glanced at Nini, and saw that she was hugging the slightly older little girl tightly, she must be closer to him than she was, so he didn't bother to ask, and muttered: "According to our tribe's Traditionally, when a girl is six years old, she must be circumcised. Nicole doesn’t want to participate in such a sacred ceremony, she should really be executed!”

Girls are also circumcised, where?Tang Jide scratched the back of his head. He had only heard of this term. In some relatively primitive and backward places, circumcision still exists. Isn't it necessary for boys to undergo circumcision?
In fact, this is really ignorant. Although circumcision is mostly for boys, and after circumcision is not harmful to their growth and development, in some areas, there are still bad habits of circumcision for girls.

This is an extremely cruel practice, and some even have to cut off all the external genitalia, so that women will have no pleasure at all and just become reproductive tools.But according to the tribal tradition, only such a woman is holy.

And Nini's mother also saw the outside world with Chief Andy, so she hated circumcision. She absolutely didn't want Nini to have the same fate as her, so she quietly sent Nini to the canoe, Float away with the waves.

Because I don't know the specific circumstances of the circumcision, Brother Big Tou is also a little bit troubled. After all, Mr. Chief is Nini's father. He poked Xiao Xiami: "What should I do?"

Xiao Xiami was also a little hesitant, and she didn't understand the so-called circumcision.But judging from Nini's reaction, it must be more scary, and they must not be easily told to attack Nini.The best way is to enter the tribe first and see the situation before talking.

So he smiled at Chief Andy: "So it's all a misunderstanding, we thought you were going to hurt Nini. Daxing, you haven't helped Mr. Chief up—"

Seeing the chimpanzee turning towards him again, Chief Andy waved his hands quickly and stood up slowly by himself.He secretly made up his mind: after returning home, he must get an animal skin around his hip bones.

At this time, the pheasant crowed: "They came all the way, and they didn't ask us to come and sit in the tribe, is that how they treat guests?"

When Chief Andy heard this, his black face couldn't help turning purple, so he reluctantly extended an invitation to Tang Jide and others.After all, he is an aborigine who rarely comes into contact with outsiders, and his emotions and sorrows are all on his face.But it is also this kind of frankness that makes people not have too much wariness when interacting with them.

In the gaps of the sparse huts, fields were opened up, and there were women and old people busy in the fields. Tang Jide went to the fields to have a look, and they were actually growing corn.It seems that they do not live entirely by hunting, but also know how to plant.In another field, Tang Jide even saw the earing rice.

A group of people came to a hut in a relatively dull atmosphere. According to Chief Andy, this is the residence of the most respected wizard in the tribe.Tang Jide looked at it, and it was indeed a bit different, because the house was surrounded by a circle of green fences.

In the shade of the trees in the courtyard, the wounded tribal warrior was lying on the ground, and an old Papuan was pouring something into his mouth with his butt pouted.Different from those blind natives, this one has a piece of animal skin around his waist, and the animal skin is covered with trinkets, including animal bones and teeth, and some plant seeds. .Obviously, he is the most knowledgeable wizard in the tribe.

Seeing Chief Andy, the wizard turned around and nodded, and then muttered something, Chief Andy also looked sad, because of excessive blood loss, the tribe was about to lose another brave hunter.

"This guy was alive and kicking just now, so he won't be able to do it after a while?" The pheasant understood, but he didn't believe it, and bluffed in English, but was glared several times by Mr. Chief.

But of course Mr. Pheasant didn't care, and he started to arrange the old wizard again: "Can you do it? If you can't, hurry up and vacate the land. It's nothing to worry about, so I almost asked you to be put to death!"

Seeing a parrot whistling, the old wizard couldn't help looking at the pheasant for a while, probably looking fresh, and then communicated with Chief Andy, probably asking what the parrot was talking about - the old wizard was obviously Indigenous natives do not understand English.

After listening to Mr. Chief's translation, the old wizard immediately blew his beard and stared, and picked up a bone stick, which should be the thigh bone of some animal, to teach the pheasant a lesson.Among the tribe, his status is even more detached than the chief, and no one has ever dared to question him.

The pheasant was also unambiguous, and yelled: "Is it rough, big star, come on!"

Upon hearing this, the chief quickly stopped the old wizard and briefly introduced the origin of this group of people.The old wizard rolled his eyes, then called a six or seven-year-old boy next to him into the room, and poured out several bowls of brown drink.

Tang Jide sniffed his nose twice, smelled the aroma of cocoa, and tested it with plant essence. It is made of pure natural plants, and the main ingredient should be cocoa beans.So I took a sip with peace of mind. It was a little bit bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste was a little sweet, with a very unique fragrance.

Not bad, Tang Jide nodded, and then reached out to touch the little boy's head.

This time, the hornet's nest was stabbed, and the old wizard screamed and danced, waving a bone stick to greet Tang Jide's brain melon seeds.The beating made Tang Jide stunned: Who messed with you again?
"Uncle Datou, in many primitive tribes, it is taboo for strangers to touch children's heads, probably because they are afraid that their souls will be taken away." It was Xiao Xiami who was well-informed and popularized the knowledge of folklore for Uncle Datou.That little black boy is the successor trained by the wizard, so he is closer than his grandson.

The pheasant listened to it, and immediately defended Tang Jide: "The big head touches Xiao Xiami's watermelon head every day, and he always kicks my ass, so it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong—"

Tang Jide didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He scratched the back of his head and said to Mr. Chief: "Actually, I am also a wizard."

For his statement, Chief Andy somewhat believed it, because Tang Datou's performance was miraculous during the friction just now.But the old wizard heard it, probably because his peers looked down on each other, but he shook his head vigorously.

Some people watched the excitement and were not afraid of big troubles, and the pheasant immediately fanned the flames: "Whether it is a mule or a horse, come out for a walk, and compare whose witchcraft is better, and whoever is the real wizard!"

The old wizard was old and had a bad temper. He probably thought that Tang Jide was here to provoke him, so he yelled a few times, and the little boy went into the room and took out a black clay pot. A fishy smell.

Then I saw the old wizard stretch his hand in, and soon caught a big centipede as long as chopsticks, with red head and black tail, looking very ferocious.

The old wizard grinned and let out a palpitating laugh, then took the tail of the centipede and put it into his mouth bit by bit, chewing it with a crackling sound.The centipede's exposed body was still twisting.

Tang Datou's throat was itchy, and he felt as if he was about to vomit.After a big centipede got into his belly, the old wizard smacked his lips beautifully, then pointed to the jar.

This Tang Datou really can't come, if it is fried until golden and sprinkled with seasonings, maybe it can still be dealt with.Seeing him shaking his head all the time, Mr. Chief and several warriors next to him grinned widely, smiling happily.

"Big head, can you do it?" Even the pheasant had doubts about Tang Jide.

Tang Jide also had no choice but to hold on: "The most important thing about witchcraft is to save people—"

After finishing speaking, he came to the wounded warrior who was dying, took out several herbs from the pitcher, stuffed them into his mouth one by one, chewed until green froth came out, and finally smeared all of them on the injured man's thigh .During this process, the plant essence is transported silently.

The old wizard was obviously knowledgeable too. He looked at Tang Jide's several herbs one by one, then shook his head, indicating that this thing is useless, because the medicine juice he just poured into the patient contained these medicines.

But a scene that shocked him appeared. A few minutes later, the wounded man whom he had pronounced the death penalty rubbed his eyes, sat up from the ground, and muttered something.Tang Jide couldn't understand, but the old wizard and the others could. What the warrior asked was "Is the wild boar roast ready?"

"I'm wondering, why are there so many foodies!" Pheasant couldn't help sighing after listening to Mr. Chief's translation.

The old wizard walked around Tang Jide a few times, then nodded, and muttered to Mr. Chief for a while, and immediately several warriors ran out happily.

"What are you doing, wait for me—" The pheasant specially joined in the fun.

Chief Andy shook his feathered head: "The wizard ordered that the most beautiful woman in our tribe should be given to Mr. Big Head as his wife, and we will get married tonight!"

Tang Jide was leaning on the big tree in the middle of the yard with his hands to supplement the plant essence. After hearing what the chief said, his soles softened and he hit the tree——
