"Is this the herb I want to drink?"
Lily is the granddaughter of the old chief Felician, a fifteen-year-old Yoruba girl.
Lily is definitely considered a little beauty in the local area.
She has a well-developed tall figure at a young age. She wears a local homespun striped skirt, has a perky chest and a slender waist. She looks particularly tall and slim.
After being assigned by the group to work at Canem's branch in Draculamore for more than a year, Cao Mo found that the local young women were all very tall and tall. He suspected that this was because local women were accustomed to carrying items on their heads no matter how heavy they were.
Go about it.
The girl Lily has big and bright amber eyes, delicate facial features, and a straight nose.
Locally or due to the hot weather, even women rarely have long hair, and they all like to use a local red mud to paste their hair into strands. Lily has long dark brown hair that is slightly curled, like a waterfall.
She looks as bright as ever; under her straight bridge of nose, she doesn’t have the thick lips unique to the Yoruba people, so she’s just right sexy.
Different from the dark skin color of the locals, Lily has light brown skin. This is related to the fact that Lily's mother is Italian and she has one-half Italian ancestry.
A girl like Lily still doesn't quite fit in with Cao Mo's aesthetics.
In Cao Mo's eyes, Lily's other conditions were at least 90%, but her skin color suddenly dropped to 70%; he still fully liked girls with fair and smooth skin.
However, at this time, his eyes were fixed on the bowl of thick green medicinal soup that exuded a strange smell in Lily's hand.
Lily handed the bowl over, and the smell became even more pungent.
Although her bright talking eyes were innocent and vivid, Cao Mo really doubted that she would say next: "Da Lang, drink this bowl of arsenic and frost, and your illness will be cured..."
Lily must have known how disgusting this thing was, and she looked innocent and curious, just to see if he would spit it out when he swallowed it!
Kabuja's fiery eyes stared at the girl Lily's face for a long time before he noticed Cao Mo's resisting look and hurriedly persuaded him to call out the herbal medicine:
"You were unconscious before. Chief Felician fed you this herb. Lily and I went into the forest early in the morning and finally collected the new medicine. Drink it quickly..."
Cao Mo was very suspicious that the locals would just drink this medicine to make them sick no matter what their illness was.
Just like some stubborn and superstitious old people in China, no matter what the problem is, they take a handful of incense ash and drink it with water, thinking that this can cure all diseases, and then wait to see whether they die or not.
To drink or not to drink?
If you don't drink, will the old chief Felician be offended, and then the tribe will have a feast of human flesh?
drink?
His intuition told him that the girl Lily thought he might spit it out immediately after taking the first sip.
Struggling in his heart, Cao Mo thought that his current condition was indeed much better than when he woke up. In short, he could not die from drinking, so he couldn't be kicked out of the tribe before Guo Jian came back to "collect the body" for him, right?
He took the medicine bowl, pinched his nose and swallowed the green soup medicine that felt so sticky that he dared not describe it casually to avoid making the readers sick.
After a while, Cao Mo suppressed his nausea and did not vomit.
Seeing Kabuga heaving a sigh of relief and looking happy, Cao Mo almost threw the remaining medicine dregs from the broken bowl into his face.
Although Kabuga is only a driver hired by the branch in Draculamo, he graduated from Ogun University and has a higher academic qualification than he graduated from high school. Why does he not have any scientific literacy and spirit?
Or is it that he was so fascinated by the old chief's granddaughter that he lost his mind and didn't even know the east, west, north, and south?
Also, the old chief Felician is said to be the most powerful and wealthy person in the surrounding area, but the only thing he gives his guests to drink medicine is a rough earthenware bowl?
Isn't the gold mine the private property of the chief's family?
There must be a few golden bowls to show off the style of a tribal chief!
Seeing Cao Mo drink the decoction, the Yoruba girl Lily was beaming with excitement, but Cao Mo had a strong intuition that she was gloating about his misfortune.
Only the joy of schadenfreude is so pure.
What a hell.
Cao Mo thought to himself that he had never been an emotional person, how could he have such strong intuitive emotions? Could it be that he was bitten by a snake and changed his mind mentally?
or……
Cao Mo quickly pulled back the shroud-like sheet and took a look, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He was still very strong and didn't disappear for no reason.
Psychologically, women are just women. There are so many bastards in society, but no one is discriminated against?
…………
…………
Seeing Cao Mo drink the herbal medicine, Kabuga told him to lie down and rest, while he sat and chatted with the Yoruba girl Lily.
Cao Mo's intuition told him that in Kabuga's eyes, there was a burning desire to take off Lily's long skirt on the spot.
Of course, in Kanem, most Yoruba and Hausa people are enthusiastic and unrestrained.
Without any intuition or intuition, Kabuja sat next to Lily and almost wrote the word "dog licking" on his face.
Lily seemed to have little resistance to Kabuga's sweet talk; or maybe the village was too isolated, and no outsiders usually came there. Lily took over the task of taking care of the sick guests, and was willing to do nothing and just stay here and chat with them.
.
After listening to Lily chatting with Kabuga, Cao Mo learned that the old chief Felician was not only the tribal leader of Yibogu Village, but also the common shaman of several nearby tribes and was in charge of a temple located near the tribe.
The shaman of the tribe is also the priest or pastor.
Although it sounds the same as the domestic magic stick, in the West African country of Kanem, the traditional power of ethnic tribes is very strong. The tribal leaders (chiefs) and witches of all sizes have a high status and great power.
For example, not only the old chief Felician has the final say on all matters in the tribe.
The land in the tribe, including the stretches of jungle on both sides of the stream and the gold mine that Cao Mo visited before, is theoretically private to the old chief Felician.
The villagers just live on this land and can build houses, farm, and hunt in the jungle, but they have no ownership rights.
As for chiefs marrying wives and taking concubines - a man in the Yoruba tribe can marry eleven wives, and the bride price is only two cows.
This is something Cao Mo has known for a long time.
If it weren't for the local women's chocolate-like skin color, thick lips, and lack of hygiene, Cao Mo felt that his life would be complete if he could become a chief in Africa.
Maybe it was because Lily and her parents believed in Christianity, or maybe she was not devout to the so-called religious beliefs deep down in her heart. Cao Mo asked her to find out, but he didn't know what the so-called Snake God Cult and the snake god belief were like in the local area.
Of course, it is certain that Ibogu has a very special status in the traditional religious beliefs of the tribe.
Cao Mo was "kissed" by Ibogu and he didn't die. Not only did Felician treat him extremely eagerly in the past two days, but also the villagers who came over to watch the fun - Cao Mo intuitively told him - their eyes were full of enthusiasm for him.
They all have a mixture of complex emotions such as fear, curiosity, and a desire to get close.
That damn intuition again!
…………
…………
Cao Mo was still a little weak, so he lay on the wooden bed with a straw mat in the morning, listening to Kabuga and Lily chatting, and learning the Yoruba language that he was not very familiar with.
At noon, the chief's plump cook had just brought over a traditional local "delicacy", a stew of mutton mixed with onions, tomatoes and various beans, seasoned with cloves and salt, when the sound of a car approaching was heard outside.
.
Cao Mo and Kabujia opened the door and walked out. They saw the old Toyota belonging to Guo Jianjiang's branch parked in front of the chief's grain drying field, being surrounded by a large group of local children from the village watching the fun.
When Guo Jian saw Cao Mo and Kabuga, he was startled at first.
He was about to open the car door and get out of the car. His body was stiff for a while. It was only when Song Yuqing, the company's financial officer sitting in the passenger seat, shouted excitedly that he came back to his senses:
"Cao Mo, you're okay, you really scared us to death!"
Guo Jian joined Dongsheng Group three years earlier than Cao Mo. At the same time, he graduated from a bachelor's degree. He is eight years older than Cao Mo, who interrupted his studies for some reason and graduated from high school. He is only 21 years old this year.
A year ago, the two of them, along with Yang Deshan, a middle-level member of the group, were dispatched by the group to Draculamo City to establish the West African branch.
Yang Deshan serves as the general manager of the West Africa branch; Guo Jian has a bachelor's degree and has been with the group for three or four years. He worked as the administrative and marketing director of the branch and is also Cao Mo's direct supervisor.
As for Cao Mo, who graduated from high school and arrived in Draculamore City more than a year ago, he was not yet twenty years old, and he had only been with Dongsheng Group for less than two years.
If he hadn't spoken English well, and no one in the company was willing to be stationed in Africa at that time, he would never have been able to get this opportunity as a mechanic in the workshop.
However, after arriving at the West African branch, he was destined to be a handyman.
After the establishment of the Draculamore branch, the group's decision-making was somewhat erratic. In the early stage, there was no investment or marketing focus on Africa.
Except for the two employees, the driver and the cook, who were recruited from the local area, the group has shown no signs of further expanding the scale of the West African branch for more than a year; even the full-time financial officer Song Yuqing was not dispatched until three months ago.
To Draculamore City.
Most of the general managers of the branch, Yang Deshan, also stayed in China. Usually, Cao Mo and Guo Jian were mainly stationed in Draculamo City. Later, Song Yuqing was added, but they had nothing to do.
Guo Jian's appearance is not impressive, and he is less than 1.7 meters tall. It must be said that he has some advantages, and he has a somewhat gentle temperament.
When he was in college, he deceived a beautiful junior girl, and then recruited the junior girl to Dongsheng Group through the human resources department, and got married soon.
Cao Mo didn't know why Guo Jian was willing to leave his beloved wife, whom he had been married to for less than a year, behind in the country and try to get a chance to be sent abroad.
Perhaps Guo Jian, who is not particularly outstanding in all aspects, feels that he must work hard to build a successful career in order to be able to resist the prying wolves and keep his current innocent mind, but he has no idea whether he will be beaten in the future.
This materialistic real society has corrupted and corrupted this lovely wife, right?
Guo Jian left him and Kabuga in the ancient village of Yibo with his life or death uncertain. It was impossible for Cao Mo not to have a little resentment in his heart, but he was still young and had received a lot of beatings from society.
In particular, his four months in the detention center taught him that the more critical the moment, the more important it is to survive...
Otherwise, if he just pokes Guo Jian in the eyes with a wooden fork, it won't solve the problem!
