Island Fishery

Chapter 907: 907 Porcupine Thorn in Nose

This tribe is in a semi-primitive state, and their language is similar to the official Malay language, so Li Shu can understand most of their words.

Li Shu nodded to Yaz friendly, and then, at the invitation of the other party, followed Yazi to a longhouse not far away with Huang Yun, the little girl, Jing's second child and a few pets.

Huang Yun walked on the right of Li Shu, looking around curiously:

It's a little different from the primitive tribes in the imagination. The black trousers worn by these men look like modern machine products, and there are no feathers on their heads or oil paint on their faces.

But they are all barefoot, and the bones above the eyes are a bit high, which is obviously different from the Chinese and Malays.

Li Shu nodded.

The men in the tribe are all topless, black trousers on the lower body, and barefoot.

And women almost always wrap their bodies in a piece of red or pink floral cloth, like a one-shoulder slim skirt.

Look at that person. Li Shu raised his chin slightly, motioning to Huang Yun.

Huang Yun looked and found an old man coming out of a long house on the right.

Gu Jiamu approached and said in a low voice: That old man is the patriarch of this tribe, but he is very old and hardly cares about things anymore.

The old patriarch just stood at the door of the longhouse and nodded friendly to Li Shu and the others, then went back into the house.

What really caught a few people's attention was the old man's clothes and decorations.

He is also bare-chested and barefoot, but the lower part of his body is wearing a light yellow bark dress, very small, with a few red or green slashes painted on his shoulders with some kind of plant paint, I don’t know. represents what.

Each person has a piece of soft tissue between the two nostrils, and the old patriarch's piece of soft tissue was pierced by a 20 cm long spike.

The length of the spike was about the width of his face, and the middle part of the spike remained in his flesh, which looked a bit symmetrical.

Carefully observe other tribe members, some men also have this kind of spikes on their noses, a bit like some men put cigarettes under their noses, but their spikes are really stuck in their noses, and the spikes are bigger than cigarettes Much thinner and much longer.

Huang Yun felt a little uncomfortable, frowned and said in a low voice, Why are you still putting the spikes through your nose? It hurts so much.

Gu Jiamu was alert, he seemed to see the doubts of Li Shu and Huang Yun, and said with a smile:

Putting the quills of the porcupine across the nose is a kind of decoration, similar to the earrings worn by many people, and it often means that he is a master hunter. Some people say that it can make the sense of smell more sensitive.

All right.

The tribe members who watched were all driven away by Yaz. It can be seen that Yazi has a high status in the tribe.

Li Shu and the others followed Yazi and Gu Jiamu to the longhouse, and went up to the second floor along the crude wooden stairs.

Maybe it's been in disrepair for a long time, and the wooden stairs make a creaking sound when you step up.

Huang Yun said with a smile: This is the first time I have seen a longhouse in real life. It is really long. This longhouse is probably 30 meters long and two stories high.

The first floor is all wooden piles, and the second floor is built on top of the wooden piles. It is a stilted building, similar to our stilted buildings in southern China, but it is really much longer, no wonder it is called a long house.

Li Shu nodded.

Gu Jiamu is still introducing: There is a large family with dozens of people living in a longhouse, regardless of family. During the day, the men go hunting and fishing together, and the women occasionally go to collect together, and everyone eats the food they get.

No separation?

Li Shudun was interested.

Gu Jiamu said with a smile: My father was born in this tribe, and later he went to live in the city.

For this reason, I also occasionally return to the tribe, so I know most of the people in the tribe.

There were no foreign products here long ago, and they all wore animal skin or bark clothes, just like the patriarchs.

Later, after some contact with the outside world, I found that many things from the outside world are really useful, such as sharp machetes, iron arrows, clothes, watches, etc., so there are some foreign products in the tribe.

Huang Yun can speak some simple Malay, she asked curiously: Then...there is no such thing as money in the tribe?

Gu Jiamu nodded: Yes, people here have no such thing as money, and the daily goal is to hunt, fish and gather young adults.

Then everyone eats together.

After eating and drinking enough, you will be fine. You can bask in the sun and sleep.

Day by day, young adults become old people, young children grow up to be young adults, and then still young adults hunt, fish, gather, and so on for hundreds of years.

Huang Yun and Li Shu looked at each other, and said with a slight smile: It seems that they seem to be very relaxed, they don't need to earn money, and they don't have any money.

You don’t need to buy a house or a car, you don’t need to look for a job, you don’t need to worry about marrying your children, just enough to eat every day.

Of course, there's a lot of food here, right?

Gu Jiamu asked the last sentence, and the latter nodded: Although the prey in the woods is decreasing, it is no problem to have enough food, not to mention there are fish in the river, and wild fruits in the woods.

The residence of Li Shu and others is on the south side of the wooden house. There are two small rooms. Each room is about 5 meters by 4 meters in size. There are no beds or furniture, and the floor is covered with straw mats.

On the wooden wedges on the wall are long woven fish baskets, decorated with colorful feathers, and strips of roasted and sun-dried meat are hung on ropes outside the windows.

It's pretty clean, it's okay. Huang Yun smiled with satisfaction.

Meow~

It smells so good~ I want to eat meat!

The big orange cat smelled the aroma of dried meat hanging outside the window, and even meowed softly, its pink nose fluttering.

The little girl even petted the big orange cat: You can't eat it, it's the master's meat, you can't eat that meat without the master's permission.

Meow~

The big orange cat's ears drooped instantly, and she swallowed, she was really hungry.

Li Shu smiled and said, I, Xiaoyun and the little girl live in the room on the left, Gu Jiamu and you live in the room on the right with the second son Jing, how about it?

Okay okay.

Gu Jiamu looked at Jing Er Er who was like an iron tower. The aura exuded by the latter was so oppressive that he felt that he should not be able to catch Jing Er Er's punch.

Jing Laoer and Gu Jiamu went to the house on the right, and in an instant there were Li Shu, Huang Yun, the little girl and 5 pets left in the house on the left.

Li Shu took out two brooms from the white jade ring, cleaned the house with Huang Yun, and said to the big yellow dog, lamb, white squirrel and other pets:

Don't run around, follow me or Jing's second, or be careful that the tribesmen will catch you and eat you.

The big yellow dog was taken aback.

Hey, hey, hey~

My meat was not tasty at all.

After cleaning the house, Huang Yun was a little worried, and said, Let's talk to them later, these five little guys are our pets, and they must not be eaten.

Okay! Li Shu agreed.

not for a while.

boom boom boom~

There was a knock on the door, and Gu Jiamu shouted: Several distinguished guests, come out to eat, the food in the tribe is ready.

Ask for a recommendation ticket.
