Big Islander 2

Chapter 5 Hair Thief
"That's right, this is kimberlite!" Carew has been dealing with ores for so many years, so he still has some professional knowledge.In fact, he did this only to confirm, because the small pile of mined ore on the ground contained diamonds.

Tang Jide said twice: "It seems that we are lucky, and I will be able to hit people with diamonds like the chief in the future." Tang Jide was quite envious of the chief's way of being a rich man: No matter what dollars you pay Euros are not as important as our diamonds, and they are bold enough!
"Brother Big Head, it's best if you hit me with diamonds every day." Mr. Chief was also very envious. This mine seems to be a rich mine, and the income is probably calculated in billions and tens of billions.

"My diamonds are still in use. I exchange wealth for the richness and prosperity of this land." Tang Jide was obviously not dazzled by diamonds, and his original intention remained unchanged.

Mr. Chief pinched his big lips, his movements were very similar to those of big stars: "Big head, are you really willing?"

Tang Jide smiled and nodded his head: "Because it belongs to this land—"

Since he established himself on Peach Blossom Island, Tang Jide has his own understanding of the concepts of money and wealth as he gets closer to and understands nature, and this way of understanding gradually affects other people on Peach Blossom Island.

"Good brother!" Mr. Chief slapped his thigh vigorously. Until this moment, he really regarded Tang Datou as a brother with the same blood as him, even though their skin colors were different.

However, it is not an easy task to mine diamonds under such a rift valley. Large-scale machinery must not be used, and the most primitive manual method can only be used for mining.After discussing it, we simply divided more than 200 unscrupulous miners into two teams and took turns mining.Although this is much less efficient, it is also in line with the development model of Qingqing Grassland. Whether it is opening an orphanage or promoting crops, it is a long-term job, and it just happens to slowly inject funds and gradually plan.

And Xiao Xiami also has a complete plan. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. No matter how much money they have, they cannot support tens of millions of refugees and children, so the most important thing is to teach them how to survive. Ability, self-reliance.Of course, this is a long-term and arduous task.

This is the end of the preliminary investigation, and the rest is to consider safety issues. After all, in South Africa where the diamond veins are depleting day by day, their discoveries are like bloody fish, which will attract countless sharks to compete for food.

In this regard, even Mr. Chief is no different. His tribe is in Swaziland. Although there are many Zulus in South Africa, even the current president Zuma is a Zulu, but he is only the chief of a small tribe. Can't manage here.

It would be okay if Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami were here, after all, the beast army on the Qingqing Grassland still has some combat power; but they are just passers-by after all.Moreover, the temptation of diamonds can even make people crazy, and every vein is accompanied by bloody winds. Before we have the ability to protect ourselves, we must keep the secrets here.

After returning to the ground, Tang Jide felt a little unhappy, feeling a little like guarding Baoshan but returning empty-handed.Big Star was even more upset than him, because neither the pheasant nor the baboons were willing to ride in its off-road vehicle, and even lazy people like pheasants would rather choose to fly back by themselves.

This made Vasily so embarrassed that he was absent-minded while driving, and rushed directly off the side of the road, hit a big tree, and almost overturned the car.

But soon Daxing was relieved, because on the way he unexpectedly ran into Lao Huang, who was leading the villagers to migrate to the Qingqing Grassland.They don't have much belongings, and they are pulled by ox carts or carried by donkeys, and the speed of travel is relatively slow.Seeing Daxing's off-road vehicle, Lao Huang's dozen or so black boys climbed up.This also called Vasily's spirit lifted, and he drove fast all the way back to the station first.

After Tang Jide and the others returned, those black boys were alive and kicking anyway, and it seemed that their adaptability was much stronger than that of baboons.

Seeing the scene full of vitality in the green grassland, the clan elders in the village couldn't help praying, and then busily started building houses. It seems that they are quite satisfied with this place.The young and strong are also full of energy, the pasture is so rich, I can raise a few more cows in the future, and then ask for wives...

Of course, there is no need for Tang Jide to worry about these things. The king's temper is getting worse and worse these days. He either wrestles with elephants or fights with rhinos all day long, often resulting in scars all over his body.Although there are more and more wild animals in the Qingqing Grassland, jungle animals such as chimpanzees and gorillas are not patronizing.Moreover, the population of gorillas is now decreasing, even in Africa, it is not easy to see.

Finally, one day, until it was dark, the king did not come back. Looking around, he found that even the big star and the pheasant were gone, and the big off-road vehicle with the body on the station also disappeared.

"These guys must be sneaking away. Let me just say, with the temperament of big star and pheasant, sooner or later they have to elope. But this time with the king, I'm afraid there will be trouble!" Tang Jide counted angrily Falling down, he snapped his fingers: Ever since he started traveling around the world with the big star, he never ran away secretly. This time when he arrived in the African savannah, he thought it changed his temper, but it got worse, and he actually drove away. Could it be? Do you want to take a road trip in Africa?
It's useless to get angry, there are malicious pheasants stalking, coupled with the impatient king, not to mention that Daxing himself is not a safe commodity, it's no wonder that these guys get together and nothing happens.

But the African continent is different from small places like Yangcheng, Hong Kong Island, or even fur balls. The territory here is vast, and looking for them is probably like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, many places are wild lands that have not been cultivated, and there may be some dangers. Tang Jide is really worried about these partners this time.

Of course, Xiao Xiami was even more so. She went out and walked around, and basically determined the direction of the big stars and the others, but it was already dark outside, and the ugly duckling reconnaissance plane could not be dispatched, so everything had to wait until tomorrow morning.

"Next time, tell these troublemakers to stay in Peach Blossom Island honestly, and you can't take them anywhere!" Tang Jide repeated these words over and over again throughout the night.

And Xiao Xiami seized the time to arrange the affairs of the Qingqing Grassland properly, and Kalu became the temporary person in charge, temporarily in charge of the diamond mining on the river beach.The mine vein on the other side of the crack is kept secret. I believe that after repelling two waves of provocateurs, no one should think about it here for the time being.

But just in case, Friday still stays in the township. On the one hand, it is to stabilize the morale of the army, and on the other hand, his precious seedlings have just grown up. Whether they can bloom and bear fruit on this continent is of great importance.In addition, Qingqing Grassland needs him to complete the tasks of collecting grass seeds and continuing to sow grass seeds. This is also a significant experiment. Tang Jide wants to invite Professor Erwin and the others here.

On the contrary, Lao Huang followed Tang Jide and the others, because he has been working as a guide and has rich experience in field survival. The most important thing is to be familiar with roads and geography; The car obviously couldn't fit.

Early in the morning, Tang Jide and the others drove away from the Qingqing Grassland. Behind him, Karu led more than 200 unscrupulous absenteeism and waved their arms in unison.Today, this group of people has completely returned to their hearts and truly regards mining as their own business.

There were more than 100 former Grosso villagers in the see-off team, with simple smiles on their faces.In fact, the orphans adopted by Lao Huang chased the car for a long distance, and finally Lao Huang came down to hug them one by one, kiss their cheeks, and then gave up.

"Being a father must be a very happy feeling—" Tang Jide smacked his lips and glanced at He Tiantian enviously.

Little girl Tiantian nodded her head, and then realized the meaning of her words, she couldn't help blushing and glaring at Tang Datou, which made the bad guy laugh badly.

So the convoy officially set off, heading northwest in the rolling yellow sand. There was only one road for the time being. They passed by when they came from Johannesburg. It is estimated that Daxing ran along the road to Hei.

Passing by a gas station along the way, it was very simple. There was a table on the side of the road, a few oil barrels, and a grass shed built on it, and two black men lay down and dozed off.

Some areas in Africa are very desolate and backward, and it is common for a car to travel thousands of miles without finding a gas station, so under Lao Huang's suggestion, it was decided to buy two barrels of oil for emergencies.

"Guys, it seems that you are listless. Could it be that you have encountered robbers?" Lao Huang greeted the two oil workers, of course, with the intention of insinuating.

Hearing what he said, one of the men immediately became furious, waved his arms and cursed, but they were all in the local dialect, which Tang Jide and the others could not understand.

Lao Huang gave them a cigarette and helped them light it. In such a simple gas station, there is no need to worry about safety and fire prevention.

"It's unlucky. I slept until midnight last night. A car came. We thought it was for refueling, but a gorilla jumped out of the car, yelled at us twice, and then threw two oil drums into the car. Come on. Guess what, it’s a chimpanzee driving the car, and it’s waving at us. Damn the robber, stealing two barrels of oil won’t make him make up, and he’s so realistic!” The guy said indignantly while smoking As he spoke, he finally coughed.

The other guy showed a look of lingering fear: "Two barrels of oil are enough for us to earn for a month. I took out the gun to defend myself, but a golden light flashed in front of me, my finger was bitten, and the gun fell to the ground. What is it?" I didn’t see anything clearly. It’s unlucky for us to meet a thief who is poorer than us!”

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head involuntarily, then looked at Xiao Xiami, and saw the little girl nodding innocently, it seemed that Banban was also instigated by Daxing.Think about it too, as it is, Daxing can abduct it with a piece of candy.

But what this buddy said is true, they really met a group of "hair thieves": Big Star, King, Pheasant, and Banban, all of them have long hair.

When the two barrels of oil were loaded into the truck and the money was given, the two oil workers were very nervous, as if they were afraid of being robbed.At this time, Xiao Xiami asked them: "Didn't those thieves pay?"

Based on her understanding of big stars, she would not do business without capital, and Xiao Xiami usually pays attention to their cultivation, at least they will barter.

"The robber will still pay, then he is not a robber!" The two blacks began to feel aggrieved again.

The black lights were out of control, and they were in panic again, so they must have not paid attention to it—Little Xiami didn't give up, so she searched nearby, but she really found a stone in the grass and held it in front of the two black people.

"I found this on the table in the morning, and I threw it away. What good is a broken stone—no way!" The black man saw that there was a small shiny thing embedded in the stone, and if he guessed correctly, Should be diamonds.

On the other hand, Xiao Xiami looked satisfied: "Let me just say, Big Star and the others won't be robbers casually!"

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head: "But this kind of behavior is simply more prodigal than the elder brother of the chief, and the family and business can't stand such a disaster—"

　Thank you for your support and rewards, my heart is warm.Work hard!
