Chapter 892: The Lip Disc Clan [First Update]

"But Ethiopia is very poor, with such a beautiful view, and the per capita income is only about one-tenth of that of our Longxia people. With {dream} small ◢.1a"

"Or rather, the countries in this part of East Africa are very poor. Some of the reasons are political turmoil, some are due to the government, and some are interference from other countries. ”

Jia Long saw that the topic was dull, and hurriedly reversed his words before it was difficult to recover.

"Maybe it's because their economic activity isn't intense enough, otherwise these beautiful landscapes might have been destroyed, so there are pros and cons, we just have to look at our scenery."

Although it is only a car drive, you can still enjoy the beautiful scenery of Omo National Park.

In fact, most of the people who come here are traveling by car or by tour group, because the best scenery is on the way to this kind of driving.

"The place where we are now is called the Omo Valley, which is a section of the Great Rift Valley, which is thousands of kilometers deep. Because it is so large, we can't see any 'river valley' symptoms when we are in it, and we can only find this area at great heights, even outside of space, which is a river valley-like terrain. ”

"You have also noticed that the surrounding mountains are densely forested, and the trees and grass are lush. But these are all illusions, because the vegetation here is very dense because of the rainy season. After a while, the grassland will gradually die due to the dry season, and the green of this Guangmao River valley will gradually become the past, and the whole will take on a lifeless semi-desert shape. Wait until the rainy season next year, and the green will re-emerge in a few months, and so on and so forth. ”

The climate and vegetation scenes, which are different from Longxia and even most of the country, make the audience listen to them with relish.

Jia Long also talked about some unpopular knowledge points about African vegetation and animals from time to time, so that the topic was not repeated and dull.

The performance of the tiger biao car is excellent, and it is not difficult to feel at all in the process of crossing mountains and mountains, and the better sense of control also relieves the pressure of driving and allows Jia Long to put more energy into appreciating and explaining the beautiful scenery.

The simply paved asphalt road, because it has only been built for a few years, does not have too much damage, so it is not bad to drive.

"Wow, look at the road ahead, it's occupied by a lot of sheep."

Jia Long suddenly pointed ahead.

Drone filming of the past.

In front of the road, there were a large number of domestic sheep with yellow and white fur rushing in opposite directions, and the total number was about hundreds.

The flock was driven by only three black men, and two of them were half-sized children.

"This kind of scene is normal, Ethiopia's livestock industry is a pillar industry of the country, they earn foreign exchange by exporting all kinds of livestock meat, and they are quite profitable, so it is not surprising that there are a large number of livestock breeders."

Jia Long drove the tiger chariot and cautiously approached the flock of sheep coming from the opposite side.

These sheep are of different sizes, and the adult body is about one meter three meters tall at the shoulder, and can weigh 150 or 60 kilograms, which is a very good meat animal.

"These sheep are supposed to be an optimized breed of sheep, so I can't name them. But it can be seen that they should have the genes of South African Boer goats in it, which is a very good meat sheep. ”

"There are as many as five million Boer goats around the world, and the world is looking for ways to optimize new breeds of Boer goats to meet the national conditions of their respective countries, and this sheep is probably one of them."

The three people who drove the sheep drank and stopped the sheep from rubbing the body of the tiger biao.

They all wore bright strips of cloth draped diagonally, which was very ethnic.

This is supposed to be one of the primitive peoples who lived in the Omo Valley.

The two and a half children have colorful colors painted on their faces, which looks a little scary.

They found that the driver sitting in the car was actually a yellow woman who they rarely saw, and they couldn't help but look at it again and again in amazement.

Jia Long smiled.

But never to talk to them first, and not to make eye contact with them.

When the sheep had crossed, she resumed her speed.

"When facing these primitive peoples of Africa, you will not know what is their taboo, in the absence of an interpreter and the presence of outsiders, it is better not to deal with them too much, sometimes even if it is just to show kindness, the other party will be regarded as provocation or weakness, and then take actions against you to ask for money, or even beat you for more ideas."

"The best thing to do is to be like me, friendly but keep a certain distance."

Because of the traffic problems in the Omo River Valley, there are not many tourists, and there are even fewer foreign tourists, so for foreigners who are not familiar with the land, the indigenous tribes who live a primitive life are dangerous.

And some of them have learned to demand money from tourists, and if they are not satisfied, they will turn to the level of violence.

"Huh? You see, there is a group of primitive women walking on the road in front of them. They had plates in their mouths, and I think we had met the strangest and most famous indigenous race of the local tribe. ”

"They're called the Lip Plate Clan."

Jia Long drove the car and caught up with the lip tribe woman in front of him all the way.

These are five African women with crockpots on their heads.

"Well, it's a bit of a child."

Jia Long found that they were all naked, or draped in strips of bright cloth that exposed half of their breasts.

This is characteristic of many indigenous ethnic groups in the area, and it is not a shame for them to show their breasts.

However, Africans are not very in line with the public aesthetics of the Longxia people, and their appearance is too weird at the moment, it is estimated that no one will have a beautiful and charming feeling.

Just in case, Jia Long only let the drone screen gently sweep a little side of the lip disc clan.

There's no way she's going to park anyway.

"See, each of their lips is coiled with a clay round plate, and the earlobes also have similar plates, this is the characteristic of the lip disc family, the aesthetic of this race is the beauty of women with lip plates, so women will have lip plates, the practice is to cut the lower lip when they are teenagers, and then stuff a small lip plate, and then change the big lip plate every year, and finally the bigger the lip plate, the more women are regarded as beauties in this race, which is quite bloody and cruel......"

"Maybe we Longxia people, and people in other parts of the world, can't understand what they do, but for the Lippan people themselves, these are part of their ancient culture, and it's hard for others to say anything."

"It's just that I heard that because of the influence of foreign culture recently, and because they have gradually become accustomed to civilized society, not many young women of the lip tribe will do this. Of course, I personally welcome this, because how painful it should be to get this lip plate, and after getting the lip plate, the lower jaw teeth have to be removed, and it becomes impossible to eat normally, not to mention, all these surgeries are done in the original condition, whether it is lip cutting or tooth removal, there is no anesthesia, and I can't think about how much pain it should be. ”

Jia Long's own scalp was numb, and he felt that he was fortunate to cross the Jackie Chan Summer girl.

If the woman who crosses into the lip disc clan, at least for her, it will be a little painful.

It seems that the audience in the live broadcast room also thinks the same.

"Wow, it hurts to think about it."

"Why don't you take a clear picture, my brother doesn't feel the figure of African women, but I want to see what the Panlip people look like."

"Cut your lips? And knocking out teeth? God, is it all going on without anesthetic? ”

"I'm scared to death my sister, but fortunately my sister is not a woman from the lip disc clan, otherwise I would have to cry to death."

Passing past the women of the Lip Pan Clan with clay pots on their heads, Jia Long continued to drive forward.

"Actually, don't think it's weird, there are many bloody customs in the world that are more strange than this, and there are many bloody customs that affect a wider range of people and affect a wider range of people. Like what...... Circumcision. ”

Talking about these topics, Jia Long himself felt gloomy.

"Circumcision is divided into male and female circumcision, but most women are still circumcised for religious reasons, or what is called 'chastity' in customs."

"The circumcision crowd is not only a small population of the Panlip tribe, but also in Ethiopia, where I am now, as well as several surrounding African countries, as well as the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and even some parts of our Longxia."

"In Ethiopia, in particular, the rate of female circumcision is almost 100 per cent...... You know, this country has a population of hundreds of millions, so you can imagine how many women suffer from circumcision. ”

"This kind of painful torture of women really doesn't make sense in terms of custom or religion. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I'm extremely disgusted with this kind of behavior, as for what circumcision is, you can watch it on the Internet yourself, because the live broadcast room can't involve sensitive topics, so I won't say more. ”

From the lip plate clan to the circumcision, Jia Long was in a heavy mood.

The world looks good, but there is a lot of actual dark side.

Long Xia is by no means as bad as many outsiders feel, and he is good enough in many ways.

At the very least, the status of women is high enough that, with the exception of a very small number of religious fanatics, women do not have to endure the same pains as circumcision.

"Wow, that's scary."

"Meng Longlong, don't say it, my scared sister's heart is beating wildly."

"Fortunately, I was born in Longxia, otherwise I would have died uncomfortably."

"Otherwise, Longxia has been civilized for thousands of years, even if there were similar unreasonable customs before, but under the baptism of super ancient civilization, it has long since died out."

"What is in the mind of the person who sends his children to be circumcised? It feels horrible. ”

In the barrage in the live broadcast room, one barrage after another quickly brushed up.

Fortunately, most of the Longxia people are atheists and have no religious fanaticism.

If Jia Long's criticism of circumcision is said in a country of religious fanaticism, he will definitely be criticized, and may even be besieged to death by fanatics.

"Okay, that's the end of these topics, you see in front, it's an open area, a lot of people wearing indigenous costumes are here, and the women of the Panlip tribe just now should also be here."

"I think I know what this place is, it's supposed to be their market."

[The rhetoric in this chapter is only a personal opinion, and some religious fanatics should not criticize it.] Because no matter how much I approve it, I can't accept circumcision. 】
