Big Islander 2

Chapter 420 Do as the Romans do
Walking into the Indian tribe, this is a river beach with fertile soil, where corn, tobacco leaves and other crops are planted.It is rich in species, and many crops are scattered from here to all over the world.

Seeing Tang Jide and his party, the men, women and children in the tribe all showed simple smiles.There are about 200 people in this tribe. It can be seen that they all live peacefully and happily. Although the material life may not be very rich, the real happiness definitely does not come from the material world, but more from the spiritual level.

What surprised Tang Jide and the others was that wild animals can be seen everywhere here. A large boa constrictor several feet long hangs lazily under the eaves. A half-grown child holds a small crocodile in his arms, but the crocodile's mouth is tied with rattan. Only opens when feeding.It is said that this is a good signboard to attract tourists.

There was even a gibbon-like animal in the arms of a half-sized boy. The guy wrapped his limbs tightly around the person, and he had a natural smile. It seemed that everyone was smiling, which was very pleasing.

"What kind of monkey is this?" Tang Jide couldn't help but stepped forward to touch the animal's head, only to find that there was a layer of moss growing on the surface of its fur. Just now, he thought it had green fur.

Little Xiami then educated Uncle Datou again: "This is a sloth, not an ape. They live in trees all year round, feed on leaves and buds, and move very slowly. They don't even bother to move or even eat. They only eat food once, that's why they're called sloths—"

so lazy?Everyone was also amazed, which also made Tang Jide call out the guy who died of starvation with a big pancake hanging around his neck. It is estimated that the sloth is about to compete with others.

"I don't believe it. If there is a jaguar chasing after it, it is still so lazy?" Tang Jide scratched the back of his head, and after a long time, he did not see the sloth move.It's no wonder that moss can grow on the body. It's no wonder that moss doesn't grow after sitting on the tree for ten and a half months. It's really lazy to a certain extent.

There are also two big dimples on Xiao Xiami's face: "Even if they try their best, they can't move two meters in a minute. This is not because of laziness, but because their movements are too slow."

It's almost slower than a tortoise, it's really weird—Big Brother can only lament once again that there are no wonders in the world, such a lazy guy, it's a miracle that this species can survive until now.

However, Xiao Xiami also explained this. Although sloths are lazy, they live in trees most of the time, and moss grows on their bodies, which is a good protective color, and their two The front claws are still very sharp, and the most important thing is that the meat of the sloth is very difficult to eat.Although it is easier to catch them, but you can't eat meat if you catch them. I believe that unless they are extremely hungry carnivorous animals, they will attack them.

After hearing this, Tang Jide took it for granted. The law of nature is the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. Therefore, all living things that can prosper must have the ability to survive.

Even Little Shrimp didn't have much interest in this kind of slow-moving lazy thing, so under the guidance of Chief Wawa, he entered a spacious shed. The house was built of wood and the roof was covered with hay.The air permeability inside is very good, and there are hammocks tied to the pillars. Not only children, but even many adults like to sleep in hammocks, mainly because of the humid climate here.

Everyone sat on the ground, and soon a few Indian women brought a special drink, which was black and inconspicuous, but it smelled strange.Tang Jide took a sip and felt refreshed.Using plant extracts to investigate, I found that the caffeine content in the drink is extremely high, which is enough to quickly eliminate fatigue and promote metabolism. If you drink it for a long time, not to mention longevity, you must be healthy and healthy anyway.

Good thing, it is simply a kind of chronic Purple Golden Pill!Brother Datou was so surprised that the hand holding the pottery bowl trembled a little. He suddenly realized that the rainforest he was in was such a huge treasure house.

"It's been so many years, I've finally tasted this taste again—" Pheasant's voice was full of nostalgia, obviously, this stuff has been eaten before, and even its partner, Ah Zi, can't stop drinking it.

Xiao Xiami also drank the drink in the bowl, and then asked, "Is this Guanana?"

Chief Wawa nodded. They call the fruit that makes this drink Guarana. After translation, it is probably Guanana.This kind of fruit is unique to the local rainforest and has magical effects.The most typical ones are other Indian indigenous tribes. Due to limited conditions, the average life expectancy of people is more than 40; but in their area, the average life expectancy of several tribes that eat Guanana all the year round can reach 80 to [-] years.

This is also the pride of their tribe. Later, as people gradually became aware of this magical nut, Guanana gradually became popular in America.Even the most famous drinks in the world, such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi, etc., specialize in the production of beverage lines with guarana flavor added.

It's just that this kind of nut has very harsh requirements on living conditions, and there is no precedent for successful transplantation in other places, so it is even more precious.The drink made from the ground powder of Guanana is used by their tribe to entertain distinguished guests, and it is said to have a good aphrodisiac effect.Brother Big Head also agrees with this point, because Guanana can promote metabolism and improve physical fitness, and of course it will also improve the function of that aspect by the way.

While drinking their drinks, everyone listened to the chief introduce this kind of Guanana happily. Tang Jide secretly made up his mind: no matter what, we should get some back and see if we can introduce them to Peach Blossom Island.

No matter how good the drink is, it is not enough to fill you up, so the pheasant started to cry and get hungry.When it came in just now, it had already seen someone outside the shed preparing dinner.

Chief Wawa then put down the bowl: "Okay, let's take a shower first—"

"Is it wrong, I said you are hungry?" Pheasant thought that Mr. Chief had heard wrongly, and you took a bath when he wanted to eat, which is not right at all.

"That's right, according to the customs of our tribe, the more distinguished the guest is, the more he wants to take a bath when he comes here. The more times he asks the guest to take a bath, the more he shows respect to the guest. It's late today, and he can wash two or three times at most. Go back." The tour guide who led the way explained with a smile, and several people looked at each other in blank dismay: This custom is really unique, I hope you don't rub your bald skin!
Now that we are here, of course we have to do as the Romans do, so we walked towards the river under the leadership of the chief.There is a narrow stream branched from a big river here, which is where the people in the tribe bathe.

"There are no piranhas and hole-boring fish in this water, right?" Brother Datou was a little dizzy now.

Anyway, the pheasant doesn't need to bathe in the water, so it gloats: "As long as you don't pee in the water, it will be fine."

After Mr. Chief talked about it, everyone went into the water one by one.Because it is not the rainy season, the river water is still clear, and the deepest part cannot be submerged yet.Not to mention, after walking in the humid rainforest for almost a day, it was really comfortable to soak in the water.Brother Big Tou was wearing big pants, floating on the water, lying there, completely relaxed, very comfortable.

"Fish, fish, piranha!" A pheasant shouted from the shore.But it's no wonder Big Touge believes it. He fully understands the nature of the pheasant, so he must be trying to scare people on purpose.Since this stream is a place where Indians often bathe, there should be no piranhas or the like.

But soon he felt itching on the surface of his skin that was not underwater, as if there were countless small mouths biting.The big head brother was so shocked that he got rid of the tension of the water, jumped into the air with a crash, and then flew across the air with both feet, and rushed to the shore. The natives in the tribe were dumbfounded: how did he do it?
With lingering fear, the big head brother quickly looked at the skin on his body, fortunately, there was no wound, so he secretly rejoiced: thanks to my quick reaction!
"Uncle Datou, this is not a piranha, but a small fish, like the one from the fish spa." Little Xiami laughed cheerfully from the creek.There are also countless small fish gathered under her body, kissing the skin of the small shrimp with their small mouths, making it itchy, so that the essence of life overflows out of her body unconsciously.

Tang Jide stood by the stream and looked at it. Sure enough, there were groups of small fish about an inch long gathered in the water. Using their small mouths to help people clean up dander and sundries on their bodies was beneficial and harmless at all.According to the chief, if people in the tribe have any skin diseases or wounds fester, they can ask these small fish to treat them. They can eat the necrotic tissue on the skin to achieve the therapeutic effect.Many tourists who come here want to enjoy the treatment of this group of fish doctors, but unfortunately they are not qualified to be honored guests of the tribe, and of course they cannot enjoy this kind of treatment.

Hearing what people said, Tang Jide re-entered the water embarrassingly, mainly because he witnessed the experience of those tourists on the way, which left a shadow on his psychology.

Soon, the school of fish gathered again, and it was a rare experience to enjoy the kisses of this group of little guys. It was itchy and crispy, making people want to laugh.

"I said there are fish, and they also eat debris on the skin, which is also a kind of piranha." The pheasant was still justifying itself, and Tang Datou's teeth were itchy, so he flicked the cane whip, and the piranha The guy rolled into the creek: "You can also enjoy the fish therapy—"

The pheasant didn't know how to water, so it kept flopping about; Ah Zi was also anxious, flying around in the sky, and kept yelling: "Big head, big head!" I don't know whether to scold Tang Datou, or tell him to hurry up and help .

In the end, it was Daxing who was more upright. He fished the old buddy to the shore and threw it on the grass. The pheasant who had turned into a drowned chicken began to chatter, saying that Datou Tang was bitten by a crocodile on his thigh, and that he was pierced in the belly by a barbed catfish .

As we talked, the crow's mouth of the pheasant came to fruition. I only heard Chief Wawa shouting for everyone to go ashore, because he found a group of crocodiles swimming from the other side of the big river.Usually, these crocodiles will not enter this creek, and they all live in peace with the indigenous people.

Not only that, but under the invisible water, many creatures in the big river seemed to be attracted by something, and began to gather in this creek. The normally calm creek became lively.

Finally, he didn't have to take a shower again and again—Big Brother was very happy, and swam to the shore with a splash.Hearing the sound of rushing water coming from behind, he turned his head quickly, good guy, two pink puffer fish leaped out of the water, under the setting sun, their skin turned a faint pink color, really beautiful.

Just when Brother Datou was stunned, he saw one of the puffer fish violently shake its head, throw out a fist-sized object from its mouth, and fly towards Tang Jide.With a bang, it just hit the door of his head.Brother Big Tou leaned back and lay on the surface of the water, and was knocked unconscious by the "cannonball".
