Chapter 743 Prepare for a Rainy Day
Sadness is not the reason to cry, stupidity is.
Master Wang mastered all the elements that a fool should have. Until Li Cang passed the message back to the car, Lao Wang was still curious: "Suddenly mysterious, who did you go to see, who, who, you said In a word, what benefit does holding me back to death do you?"
"Who else could it be? Of course Martinis."
"That voodoo high priest who likes to bleed people to offer sacrifices to heaven? Didn't you have a bad conversation with them last time?"
"That's because Tony Jaa is here, and Martinis is a nice guy."
"Why are you looking for him?"
"A suitable candidate."
——————
The time came to an hour ago.
The base has specially set aside an area of land and islands for Martinis and his three thousand little voodoos that are extremely generous compared to other survivors. Coupled with the sky island they originally owned, it can be said that the entire base is unparalleled in comparison to theirs. People with larger per capita land holdings and better living conditions.
Originally, the base planned to relocate all these people to the main island of the seafood market, but the black uncles strongly opposed it. The base itself was actually afraid that these little voodoos would drag the black uncles one by one to the edge of the cliff to bleed and sacrifice to heaven. Or out of control, I had to give up the plan after thinking about it
It was dusk, and apart from the jagged rocks, there was only a little light on the island chain covered with tropical plants and trees.
The surface of the simple triangular hut was covered with various animal skins or the back skin of walking corpses. The bones of humans, alien animals, and walking corpses were everywhere. Bonfires were lit in the tribes gathered in the shacks, and cattle, sheep, cassava, and human heads were roasted on them. There is also a huge blue-black poisonous scorpion.
Dozens of almost naked black girls carefully served the food on the fire, occasionally glancing at Martinis, several elders and Li Cang who were talking with a vague and fanatical peripheral vision.
"Ling, ancestral spirit, creature, and holy spirit, corresponds to the past, present, and eternal time. It also means ancestors, people, souls, elves, or gods. Uh, sorry, you know, my Chinese is not very good. It’s very troublesome to explain, I don’t know if you can understand it”
"Voodoo is not Hoodoo. Voodoo comes from vodu. Its original meaning is to refer to gods, souls and elves. All things are animated and have thousands of faces, whether it is Orgon, the incarnation of iron and fire, or Loco, Legba, Rada, Dambala, Ayida , the spirits in the world will eventually return to a unified whole"
"For us, Hoodoo is actually a criticism and distortion of non-mainstream concepts. It is a stereotype created by an anonymous American for zz considerations. What people usually call Hoodoo is more biased towards Spells, charms, and puppets.”
"I have lived in Coabana (Cuba) for a long time! The meaning of voodoo to me is not about cursing dolls, attracting evil spirits, terrifying night rituals, or ugly living sacrifice rituals, but more about protection, healing, The orgonite positive energy spell for love! ”
"But"
"This world is not right! People once thought that creating 'resurrected corpses' through magic was the most frightening ability of people in voodoo. They said that we were the origin of zombie culture. But Teacher Cang, look at the world now. They, I can't feel the soul of those manic things, and I can't control them at all"
Li Cang listened with gusto and was in high spirits, and he did not mind the roughness of the food. He cut off the meat piece by piece from the half-cooked black beef leg roasted on the fire.
Scorpions, chickens, cattle and sheep, various fruits, and cassava and bananas can be put on the grill. The only seasonings are fish meal, chili and salt.
What’s interesting is that the Martynis tribe can eat almost anything, but they will never eat pork. In their teachings, pigs are sacrifices offered to various spirits and gods, and living beings have no right to enjoy them.
After actually arriving here, Li Cang discovered that Martinis had a surprising respect for life, even those soldiers.
The small animals and wild beasts on these islands were almost completely defenseless against all of them. They were as docile and intimate as domestic pets. He even saw a few warriors of the Voodoo tribe handling their prey bloody while making fire. Three young green wolves and a group of snow-white Arctic hares were watching and chatting and laughing.
That scene was really weird and harmonious, and it was not at all the demonized image in the minds of those in Santa Catana. This shows that at least the dregs of Voodoo cannot be completely transferred to Martinis himself.
Of course, this does not mean that Li Cang can accept his style.
If the abnormally tough style and aggressiveness are the means of self-protection for Martinis and his tribe in this doomsday, no matter from any angle and considering the actual data, he is suspected of over-defense.
"Oh, thank you, what is this?"
It has a mint flavor, a bit of the bitter numbness and "spicy" feeling of unripe persimmons, then a strong wormwood and herbal flavor, and finally sweetness.
"A fermented drink of herbs and cassava." The black girl who brought the dark green drink in an oversized wooden cup to Li Cang stumbled and answered, but she actually spoke in Chinese: "You can try it, I'll reduce it." The amount of materials that the tribesmen usually like, maybe you will like it. ”
Li Cang didn't understand why these people were full of awe and fear of him, and said: "It's very good. My personal suggestion is to add more ice, it will taste better."
The wrinkled faces of the elders who were accompanying them suddenly bloomed, and they looked extremely happy. They were communicating quickly in an indigenous language that Li Cang couldn't understand and the translator couldn't understand either.
Yes.
Martinis's tribe actually consists of old men, women and children, who never appear in front of outsiders. The base is well aware of this, but has never deliberately stopped the spread of rumors.
The combat effectiveness and lethality they showed in the last battle with Luo Moumou was so strong that the base was wary of Martinis and full of reservations
"The elders said that your words, deeds, aura and spirit are in perfect harmony with the tribe!" Martinis's eyes widened. It was hard to imagine that a guy who kills people like chopping vegetables could have such a pure and uncontained personality. Impurity eyes: "All sentient or merciless sentient beings are sacred, but you must be the incarnation of the ancestral spirit. Only the ancestral spirit of the tribe can spiritually influence the succeeding tribes. We have the blood of the ancestral spirit flowing in our bodies. This is something else." What the spirit cannot do.”
"Ahem."
Li Cang has such a total of inside and outside.
Damn, Timi is the one who has come up in terms of seniority, but do you mean to say that I have yellow skin and a black heart, or you have a black skin and a yellow heart? It seems that either way is not optimistic?
"Okay, it's almost time today." Li Cang looked at his watch: "You should take these coins first. If you don't do business and have no income, the zombies around the base alone are not enough to compete with other subordinates. You see, your island doesn’t even have electricity. After filling your stomach, you also need to enrich your spiritual civilization. No matter how hard it is, it won’t be hard, kid!”
There was a whole bag of rattling coins. Judging from the size of the bag, there might not be tens of thousands of coins in it.
The black girls who were in charge of food and drinks, the soldiers standing guard on the edge, including Martinis and several rather solemn and kind-looking elders were all stunned, like sculptures.
There is a saying that the Martynis tribe is capable of fighting and carrying. They are extremely powerful in combat and have a fierce and bloody style. When they see a walking corpse passing by, they would like to bite it to satisfy their greed.
But the philosophy they pursue is very weird compared to others. They never sell loot to gain profits, and even barter is very rare (besides, no one in the base dares to do business with them!), so since the Holy Card After Tana merged into the base, she saw that the lives of other members of the federation were getting better and better. The Martinis tribe was not only prosperous, it could at least be said to be bubbling.
What's the use of being strong in combat?
Not to mention the wild islands around the base, there are countless official private armed forces with hunting, collection and combat sequences that have already formed the potential existence or sudden appearance of resources within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, waiting to be carved up! In the past, Santa Catana was always on the busy Martinis, which almost took over all the battle scenes, but now.
In the end, the three melons and two dates that fell into the hands of Martinis were not enough to pay for the navigation back and forth!
After struggling with this sustainability, Martinis's originally quite abundant money bag became visibly stretched. How could it be so easy to maintain a tribe of thousands of people? Even if the food could be hunted by oneself without unnecessary material needs, then If you pray to recruit new people and cultivate productive forces, can you still prostitute a small coin kid for nothing?
Martinis couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen so many coins. Every time after the prayer service ended in the dead of night, he couldn't help but wonder whether he had led his people to live a better life.
He swallowed hard and said, "This, this won't work."
"Hold it! This is called friendship at first sight. We flower growers are very polite about reciprocity. Why don't you buy some sweets for the children when you first visit?"
"But these coins, if converted into candy, would burst the bellies of all the children! There are too many, you gave too much!"
"."
Li Cang choked up again. He didn't know why the logic of this conversation was so confusing.
"In short, you should know my mother's strength. I am not worried about those who come to my door, but for example, he misses the country and there are some sneaky and dirty things in the base. I believe you are professionals in this regard. If necessary, ——”
"Don't worry!" Martinis patted his chest and assured: "There is an old saying in China that ferocious beasts do not keep company with livestock. People like you who are powerful, decisive in killing, and clear about grudges are the living truth in the world!"
"People like you will definitely be lonely!"
"You must be in serious need of trustworthy partners. If it weren't for geographical restrictions, I really want to get on the track with you at the same time. Resettlement camps, settlements, and bases cannot fight against this doomsday world, only killing can!"
"My tribe and I may not be as powerful as you, but each of us is a dancer walking on the sand dunes and in the abyss of the cliff in the dark, a cold killer, a warrior, and an agent of death. We will be the most loyal and ever sharper swords, we are eager to find our own destination! ”
"We."
"Why don't you wait for a while and stop the comparison first!" Li Cang said doubtfully: "This is almost exactly the same as what you told me last time, right? Even the order has not changed!"
"Well, this is it." Martinis looked shy: "You know, my Chinese is not very good, so I only designed this set of lines for myself, and I know it by heart."
Li Cang simply didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hands and his figure gradually faded and disappeared.
"I guess I won't come here often. If you have any questions, especially financial needs, please contact me directly on the name I gave you. She has money and is worried about having no place to spend. Don't be polite to me, and don't talk to her."< br>
"This is a separate meeting gift for you. Find a few people to practice with it and you will understand."
There was an additional eland with big red eyes, head raised, and hooves pawing. Who cares if the alienated antelope, the boss of the world, is the high priest of voodoo or the big plum with black skin and yellow heart? The blame for the unkind treatment I received in the car falls on you!
"boom~"
——————
"So you hired, uh, a dozen bodyguards for my mother? And you even turned into a voodoo priest? I think this is outrageous in every sense of the word!"
"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. Martinis is very good at dealing with dirty people who are hiding behind the scenes, and his life-saving ability is extremely abnormal. Even if you pray, you can't save him, but they can save him!" Li Cang said: "He I think the country can use that kind If you use opportunistic methods to hurt our mother once, there is no guarantee that there will be another time. The base has not been feeling peaceful recently, and I have to perform a lot of things. What’s more, my mother should be more careful and prepared. ”
"So good at holding grass? Can they, a bunch of niggas, defy the odds and change their lives?"
"More similar to a kind of transfer, any harm other than the soul level is transferred to another person through sacrificial rituals. Of course, the victim of the harm needs to be a member of the tribe."
"That's perverted enough."
"Envy? I got it by drinking blood!"
"You can't hold back anything when you look at your face!" Lao Wang sneered: "You can't spend so much effort on thirteen moves just to find a few bodyguards for our mother, right?"
"Guess again."
"I'm guessing. You are a prodigal son and you bought the whole tribe."
"Laughing to death, will I lose money?"
"Isn't this called a loss? Is using a bus for private use called a loss? What a shame! You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days!"
"Be careful, Aunt Jin will rip off your ears if you hear this~" Li Laisi sneered, slapping her hands in front of her nose: "Why do you think you have to tease that sheep? It's okay now, the car is full of the smell of sheep manure , drive faster!”
"Hurry up! I have to find a place to wash the car, otherwise my mother won't cut me up alive." Lao Wang muttered, then he suddenly paused: "Wait a minute! All of you are co-authors of this matter" Everyone knows that we are the only ones with a black eye, right?”
"Rao Qifang is also a straight person. Li Cang hinted at it several times but she didn't take it seriously. Don't worry, you are not alone."
"Do you think this will make me feel better?"
"Otherwise? Let Li Cang bring you a set of big swords to appease your fragile glass heart?"
"."
The biological clock is completely messed up. Well, it’s not midnight today, which is a good sign. Try to adjust it as soon as possible.
