The System Let Me Go Fortune Telling

Chapter 656 Bloody Diamond

After more than an hour, the sandstorm passed, and Qingming was restored between heaven and earth.

Seeing that the surrounding terrain has changed into something else, Zhao Guangwu sighed in his heart that if it weren’t for the master’s action, it would never have been so easy this time.

It was also the first time Wu Jun saw such a big desert storm, and he felt quite shocked. Being in countless violent winds and sands made him feel the power of nature and his own insignificance.

I feel this way when I face a desert storm. If I leave the earth and face the stars in the future, how does it feel?

So hurry up and upgrade your cultivation and experience it early.

Unfortunately, this time I did not see the mirage, nor did I encounter wild camels and the legendary gold-eating ants.

“Let’s go, keep going.”

In a blink of an eye, another week later, four people and two camels came to the edge of the desert.

Sparse desert plants can already be seen here, and the ground is no longer pure sand, but more gravel.

Zhao Guangwu looked at the map and used the compass to accurately calculate where he was located. It should be in Niger.

Wu Jun is not at all familiar with these countries in Africa, he knows Egypt, South Africa and Congo.

Needless to say, Egypt and South Africa have described a lot on TV and various media, but I remember the Congo because the people there are too dark.

In the past, when a classmate was tanned a little at school, everyone liked to say that he was a Congolese.

Unfortunately, because of the route, they will not go to the Congo this time to see it.

“From here, we can hire a car.” Although Zhao Guangwu misses the days in the desert these days, he still carefully plans the next itinerary. “It takes only one day to drive to Niamey, and then wear it. After Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire, you can reach your destination Guinea in no more than three days.”

Wu Jun looked at it, because the sunshine time along the way was relatively long, and the first level of Intermediate Body Tempering was still about 100 hours away.

“That’s still the same as before,” he said, “you drive and I walk.”

The old monk said: “The old monk also walks with the little master. It just so happens that people in this place can also be seen.”

“Yes, but the car still needs to be rented, and the driver had better be a guide.”

This was left to Zhao Guangwu. He soon sold two camels and then rented a…Wu Jun is a little indescribable.

There are four wheels, and the sound of the engine is sudden, it should be a diesel engine.

And the body is woven from bamboo, and the whole is shaking on the bumpy road.

But let alone, the craftsmanship of this weaving is quite good, the doors and windows are all available, and I have to admire the brains of the black brothers.

“No way, this is the best car here.”

Wu Jun nodded indifferently. He wouldn’t be able to sit anyway, so he asked Xiao Liu and Zhao Guangwu to explore the way first to find better hotels and restaurants.

Speaking of Africa, everyone’s first reaction is nothing more than black, or poor, or black and poor. What comes to mind is a black and thin child whose lips can’t even cover their teeth.

Niger is almost the poorest place in Africa.

Along the bumpy dirt road, Wu Jun and the old monk Jinglin kept walking towards the east. Along the way, they saw dilapidated thatched houses, rare adobe houses, and almost no brick, cement and sandstone houses.

Perhaps because it is located on the edge of the desert, few foreigners come here, so almost nowhere, the strange combination of Wu Jun and the old monk can attract all kinds of curious eyes.

When passing by some relatively large villages or small towns, there will be a lot of bold children trailing behind them, probably wanting to eat with them.

But it may be that they saw the bald head of the old monk, and they didn’t come over in the end.

There are also monks in Africa, and there are many followers of Chinese Buddhism. Perhaps in the eyes of the locals, Buddhism is quite mysterious.

Along the way, Wu Jun also found a problem, that is, many villages and small towns have many stalls.

Some are women, some are teenagers, but adult men are rarely seen.

The things he sells are relatively simple, such as grilled fish, fried fish, or kebabs. He even saw people grilling whole lamb on the side of the road.

Who said that the African brothers Life is in dire straits?

Even in China, eating roasted whole lamb is a decent thing, right?

Of course, local people like the custom of putting a frame on their heads, and Wu Jun has already seen it on the Internet.

But I don’t know why. Everyone eats meat, so why are all of them so thin.

Doesn’t eating meat actually lead to gaining weight?

The old monk remained silent along the way.

In fact, Wu Jun also knows that the people here in Life are actually quite bitter. Don’t look at the barbecue and fried fish everywhere on the street, but how many people can afford it?

Those scrawny children are 100% malnourished because they don’t have enough food to eat.

The gap between the rich and the poor is so straightforward everywhere.

“Sure enough, all beings are suffering.”

Wu Jun didn’t accept the words of the old monk, he was worried that the monk wanted to be compassionate, and it would be difficult to stay to save these people.

Fortunately, the old monk was still relatively sane. Although he looked sad, he probably knew that nothing could be changed by himself. After a long sigh, he didn’t say anything.

In many places in Africa controlled by various armies, there are almost the same number of people and slaves. They work more than ten hours a day, but there are many people who can’t even support their families. They will be shot if they don’t pay attention.

So what I saw along the way was pretty good, at least there were trees, mutton, and ponds to catch fish.

As long as they are a little bit more diligent, the family will not die of starvation.

Before dark, they arrived at the meeting point with Zhao Guangwu and did not find the hotel, but the driver introduced them to stay at the chief of a village.

The chief’s house has a wide adobe house, and there is more food at home, in addition to barbecue and noodles.

Since there was no place nearby to exchange currency, Zhao Guangwu took out the remaining cucumbers as a reward. When the chief family saw these emerald green cucumbers, their already bulging eyes instantly became straighter than they were when they saw the whole roasted cucumbers. The sheep is even more shocked.

Later Zhao Guangwu told Wu Jun that vegetables here are much more expensive than meat.

As for why, the ghost knows why.

Wu Jun has also seen the land here. Although the degree of desertification is relatively severe, there is still a way.

For example, spread a layer of plastic film on the ground, and then use sand, decayed leaves, plant ash, farmyard manure, etc. on it. If he can’t grow vegetables, Wu Jun dared to take his head off and kick it.

Three days later, they finally reached the border of Guinea. Wu Jun looked at it, and the upgrade mission was already very close, and the first level of Body Tempering was also fast.

Just counting the time, there are still more than 20 days before two months have passed. Wu Jun went to Guinea to enjoy the huge crabs and lobsters, and then think about going back.

The environment in Guinea is much better than Niger, at least the kind of castle-like houses can be seen everywhere, many world-class luxury cars can be seen on the street, and the standards of various hotels and restaurants are also very high.

They relaxed on the beach in Conakry for a few days, ate a lot of crabs with large basins, and went to see Guinea baboons and elephant herds.

Because they have a good relationship with China, they received a warm reception in the local area, and of course they did not spend less money.

After wandering in Guinea for a few days, several people took a boat to Freetown, which is the capital of the neighboring country Sierra Leone.

Speaking of Sierra Leone, many people may be unfamiliar, but when it comes to diamonds, everyone is not unfamiliar.

Although the Star of Africa is not from Sierra Leone, a super diamond weighing 706 carats was found here last year and auctioned for a sky-high price of 7.79 million US dollars.

Not long after, a 476 carat diamond was found in the same place.

So Sierra Leone is a good place. There are so many diamonds. Maybe you can pick up diamonds while digging, and you can dig a diamond.

It’s just that everyone is not guilty of guilt.

In order to obtain huge profits, the large western companies and consortia secretly supported the warlords and competed for huge diamond wealth. The whole country fell into civil war.

No matter what the war, the unlucky people are the people at the bottom. As a result, the local indigenous people suffered a huge disaster. They were born on diamonds, but they were too poor.

The per capita GDP is more than 100 U.S. dollars, and the average life expectancy is only 35 years. Now it is known as the most civilized era in history, and such a place is really unimaginable.

The diamonds of Sierra Leone are called blood diamonds, because their appearance is filled with the blood and tears of the locals.

Wu Jun thinks that there is a saying on the Internet that is good. Capitalists may have a bottom line and a human touch, but capital does not.

On the busiest and bustling streets of Freetown, the capital, Europeans and Americans with hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars in luxury cars can be seen everywhere, and Asians with yellow skin and black hair can be seen everywhere, and inferior slippers and even light can be seen everywhere. Aboriginal hawker with his feet on his head and a basket of fruit hawking.

In slightly remote streets, tractors that use bamboo as carports are also everywhere. Unclothed children gather in groups, asking foreign tourists for food or money.

Wu Jun saw the old monk trying to dig out his pockets several times, but in the end he resisted it.

He didn’t know what complicated mental journey the old monk was going through, but he believed that he should feel uncomfortable at this time, and he might also be asking the compassionate Buddha in his heart why he didn’t come to save this place.

“Little Master,” said the old monk at last, “I want to stay here for a few more days.”

Wu Jun nodded casually, it didn’t matter if he stayed for a few days, he still had a lot of time anyway.

So they stayed in a nice seaside hotel. As for the documents and passports, there are people like Zhao Guangwu, so there is no need to worry about such trivial matters.

This also changed Xiao Liu’s view of Zhao Guangwu and felt that Old Zhao was not useless.

The next day the old monk did not let anyone follow him, and walked onto the street alone. After Wu Jun confirmed from the video that he would not be in danger, he and Xiao Liu went to the hotel swimming pool.

“Fuck, so white!”

When Zhao Guangwu walked in, he thought he was in the wrong place.

This is Africa. Why are there white flowers in the swimming pool?

During this period of time, I have watched a lot of black brothers, and suddenly seeing so many white-skinned people is really a bit uncomfortable.

Wu Jun also glanced casually, and found that none of the people resting here had dark skin, and even the skin of the waiter was very light.

Zhao Guangwu’s big black bald head is particularly conspicuous in the clear swimming pool.
