Shi Tian thought it was too simple to buy him off with a Rod. If he took Shi Tian's Rod and let him down, it would be like selling out Shi Tian himself. He could then go to Shi Ye and exchange it for another Rod, which would be a great achievement.
Getting a Rod, being corrupt, and achieving something—it's obvious which one is better. Even a fool would know how to choose.
A Heng's words made Shi Tian roll his eyes in anger. If he hadn’t mentioned Shi Ye, this matter would have been settled! Rubbing his nose, he thought to himself that even if he had to leave Africa, he would still find a way to take advantage of the situation before he went!
He pulled out his phone and quickly sketched a picture to send to Shi Ye. Checking the time, he figured Shi Ye should be able to come over the day after tomorrow! He definitely wouldn’t make the flight the day after that, but when Shi Ye arrived, they would need to hand over some things. He still had a few days to stay here.
However, once Shi Ye arrived, he would definitely need to get hold of the car keys. As long as he had the keys, he could leave whenever he wanted.
The American Style Landing Net was not as easy to use as he had imagined. While waiting for the well-drilling crew, Simba took Shi Tian and the others on a tour of his Farm. Although they called it a tour of the Farm, it was really just an excuse to play with the American Style Landing Net.
After wandering around for quite some time, they finally spotted a wild boar. As soon as the small Net made a sound, the wild boar bolted away. Over here, it was still better to use a Maasai spear; not to mention wild boars—even lions would kneel before it! Unfortunately, the wild boar had already disappeared in fright, and their hopes for a pork feast that night vanished.
They had been drilling a well for two days now, with the Chieftain treating them to a sheep each day. Watching the drilling rig blow water from the wellhead up over ten meters high with high-pressure air, the Chieftain raised his knife and headed toward the Cattle Pen to slaughter one of the cows.
What a joyous occasion! Why were they killing a cow without any festival or celebration? Just as he raised his knife, Shi Ye grabbed the Chieftain's hand and asked in Maasai Language.
Glancing at the three people in front of him who looked quite similar to the young man who helped him drill the well, he thought they must be from the same group!
"You are Chinese? The tribe is celebrating by slaughtering a cow for drilling the well; you are in for a treat! Stay and enjoy some beef!" Seeing that these three were from the same place as that young man, he decided they should all share in tonight's beef feast.
"We know the person who helped you drill; he sent us here. It’s still too early for celebrations; let’s wait until we buy the pump and draw up some water before we kill the cow!" In their tribe, they only slaughtered one cow a year. Since Shi Tian’s group helped them drill a well, they were grateful enough to kill a cow in celebration—seemed like things were going well here.
Hearing that Shi Ye knew Shi Tian, the Chieftain instructed someone to keep an eye on the cow and hurriedly led Shi Ye and his companions toward the drilling site. That cow was definitely going to be slaughtered tonight!
When Shi Ye arrived, Shi Tian's eyes lit up; his good days were finally coming!
"Ye Ge! Jun Ge! Lu Ge! You finally made it! You have no idea what kind of life I've been living these past few days; if you hadn't come soon, I might have starved on this African savanna!"
Seeing the three approach, he hugged each of them and patted Lu Ya's pocket where the car keys were kept. He reached out but was stopped by Lu Ya grabbing his arm.
"Xiao Tian, you've only been here for a few days! You haven't learned anything else but how to pick pockets?"
Looking at Lu Ya’s half-smiling face, Shi Tian felt his nose twitch; this guy had really become quite adept at blending in after so many years!
"Lu Ge, do you have any cigarettes? I can’t get used to foreign ones; I’m running low!"
After getting a pack of cigarettes from Lu Ya and introducing his three friends to the Chieftain, he turned around and got into the car. Tonight they would head for Dashi—a major city! The Chieftain's cow was safe for now.
