In the morning, tranquil Sahara welcomed one group of strange guests. 清晨,宁静的撒哈拉沙漠迎来了一群陌生的客人。 Three fierce-tempered horses speed away in this wide and open vast desert, raises three straight dust paths. 三辆悍马疾驰在这片广袤无垠的沙海上,扬起三道笔直的尘埃轨迹。 „Also how long.” Sits is holding the both arms in back row Jiang Chen, is bored to death opens the mouth to say. “还有多久。”坐在后排的江晨抱着双臂,百无聊赖地开口道。 Sits in his nearby Ayesha as before is unemotional, but from that deep pouch, obviously her some sleep are insufficient. 坐在他旁边的阿伊莎依旧是面无表情,不过从那深深的眼袋上看,显而易见她有些睡眠不足。 „In front! However before then, we must first visit Emir of nearby tribe.” Roberts is driving, while exclaimed excitedly. “就在前面！不过在此之前,我们得先去拜访附近部落的酋长。”罗伯茨一边开着车,一边兴奋地吼道。 „How I felt, as soon as you arrived at the desert excitedly.” Jiang Chen glanced his one eyes to say. “我怎么感觉,你一到沙漠就兴奋了起来。”江晨瞟了他一眼道。 „This free feeling, you do not understand!” “这种自由的感觉,你不会明白！” This fellow was insane. 这家伙疯了。 Jiang Chen is spitting the mortise at heart, then looked to out of the window. 江晨在心里吐槽道,然后看向了窗外。 On another two fierce-tempered horses sits the veteran who that ten are hired to be the teacher, compares here restlessness, that side wants many of calm. 另外两辆悍马上坐着那十名受聘担任教官的老兵,相比起这边的闹腾,那边要安静的多。 Quick, the vehicle opened a soil texture hard small sand dune. 很快,车子开上了一座土质较硬的小沙丘。 If suddenly sees the light, Jiang Chen found that low small adobe house. 如豁然开朗般的,江晨瞧见了那一栋栋低矮的小土房。 Primitive, ignorant, poor. 原始,蒙昧,贫穷。 These three words probably were the Jiang Chen's first feeling. 这三个词大概便是江晨的第一感受了。 The opening and closing type board fence that the yellow gray hut and courtyard that the sand and crushed stone builds, the deadwood grips as the courtyard wall front door, the window is supporting the cloth of dyeing with the branch, just like the 12 th century Arab small town. Every household is raising the camel. It is said here, a social position of person has several camels to weigh according to him. 砂石堆砌的黄灰色小屋与院落,枯枝扎成的开合式木栅栏作为院墙的大门,窗口用树枝撑着染色的布匹,宛如12世纪的阿拉伯小镇。每家每户都养着骆驼。据说在这里,一个人的社会地位是根据他有几匹骆驼来衡量的。 „I somewhat cannot comprehend, perhaps under you can explain with me, what significance do we come to here to have?” Jiang Chen helpless saying. “我有些搞不懂,或许你能和我解释下,我们来这里有什么意义吗？”江晨无奈的说道。 „Naturally has. cough cough, from the perspectives of our these modern people, some are perhaps unreadable. After all we make a payment, bought from the hand of Niger government, spent part of money as taking the compensation of their pasture. From the contract content, 20 hectares place not far from here is us, but according to the custom of native, our status as before is ‚guest’. According to their traditions. We ‚settling down’, must obtain their approvals here.” Roberts answered. “当然有。咳咳,从我们这些现代人的角度来看,或许有些难以理解。毕竟我们交了钱,从尼日尔政府的手上买了地,也拿出了一部分钱作为占用他们牧场的补偿。从契约内容上来看,离这里不远的20公顷地已经属于我们,但按照当地人的习俗,我们的身份依旧是‘客人’。根据他们的传统。我们在这里‘安家’,必须得到他们的认可。”罗伯茨解释道。 „Such troublesome view?” The Jiang Chen corners of the mouth pulled out pulling out. “还有这么麻烦的说法？”江晨嘴角抽了抽。 „Actually walks a form, they recently also more or less secularization,” Roberts shrugs. Slowed down the vehicle speed, the tradition of „respecting the native is good, at least can live in peace with each other with them, does not need to be worried that they look for trouble. The necessary time, they will even also stand us.” “其实只是走个形式,他们最近也或多或少世俗化了,”罗伯茨耸了耸肩。放慢了车速,“尊重当地人的传统还是有好处的,至少能与他们相安无事,不必担心他们来找麻烦。必要的时刻,他们甚至还会站在我们这边。” „A your such saying. My some are not clear, actually who is Master on this lands. Niger? Tuareg Tribe?” Jiang Chen said with a smile. “你这么一说。我有些不明白了,究竟谁才是这片土地上的主人。尼日尔？图阿雷格部落？”江晨笑道。 „Un, you can understand that was Niger is King of middle ages, but this Tuareg Tribe was food county place Landgraf.” The Roberts eye transferred, gave a not appropriate analogy. “嗯,你可以理解为尼日尔是中世纪的国王,而这个图阿雷格部落则是食邑此地的领主。”罗伯茨眼睛转了下,给出了个不怎么贴切的比喻。 „If had the conflict with them, which the Niger government will stand in one side?” After hearing the explanation of Roberts, Jiang Chen was actually is asking the idea very dangerous issue. “如果和他们发生了冲突,尼日尔的政府会站在哪一边？”听闻了罗伯茨的解释后,江晨却是问出了个想法很危险的问题。 Also does not know that from, he considered that the issue the angle became extremely. 也不知是从何时起,他考虑问题的角度就变得极端了起来。 After hearing the Jiang Chen's inquiry, on the Roberts face revealed the forced smile. 听到江晨的提问后,罗伯茨脸上露出了苦笑。 „The Niger government will be very happy that we extinguished them, but this is impossible. The trail of Tuareg clansman proliferates the desert. Moreover the hearsay, they and Al-Qaida and other extremist forces relate some is not unusual. In the Mali unrest, the guerrilla forces of Tuareg Clan and Al-Qaida have fought side-by-side.” “尼日尔政府会很高兴我们灭了他们,但这是不可能的。图阿雷格族人的足迹遍布沙漠。而且传闻,他们和基地组织等极端势力关系有些不寻常。马里骚乱中,图阿雷格族的游击队曾经和基地组织并肩作战过。” , Saw Jiang Chen not to speak. Roberts also really feared that he does the dangerous matter, therefore also added. 顿了顿,见江晨没说话。罗伯茨还真怕他干些危险的事儿,于是又紧接着补充道。 „, I recommend us should better do not clash with them. Here common social practice is valiant, although poor did not have the words saying that but basically is lying down every household ak.” “呃,我推荐我们最好还是不要与他们发生冲突。这里的民风彪悍,虽然穷的没话说,但每家每户基本躺着把ak。” „Do not be anxious, I asked.” Jiang Chen smiles to say. “别紧张,我只是问下。”江晨笑了笑说道。 The vehicle advanced in the tribe, these indigenous people cast the curious vision to these vehicles in abundance. For path reason. Roberts shook down the glass, gestures to behind two car(riage)s, hints them to wait outside of tribe. 车子开进了部落内,这些原住民们纷纷向这些车辆投来好奇的目光。出于道路原因。罗伯茨摇下了车窗,向身后的两辆车打了个手势,示意他们在部落的外面等着。 Originally is not the important matter, the coordinate local custom goes through the motions anything. Soon can finish. 本来也不是什么大事,配合当地习俗走个过场什么的。用不了多长时间就能结束。 „That side is the food market, but I do not recommend the thing that you try there to sell.” “那边是食品市场,不过我不推荐你尝试那里卖的玩意。” „Very skillful, I have no interest that.” Jiang Chen looks at out of the window, rides the child on camel to look at each other with him curiously, his father is covered with the veil, pulled the camel to leave the tribe. “很巧,我也没那个兴趣。”江晨看着窗外,一个骑在骆驼上的小孩正好奇地与他对视,他的父亲蒙着面纱,牵着骆驼离开了部落。 The Ayesha look glanced outside the eye piece subtly. Whispered sentence „Foreign End”, then no longer spoke. 阿伊莎眼神微妙地瞟了眼窗外。嘀咕了句“异端”,然后便不再吭声。 Stops, under a black face woman's leadership, Jiang Chen and Roberts walks toward tribe central architecture 停下车,在一名黑面孔女人的带领下,江晨和罗伯茨向部落中央的建筑走去 Tuareg Clan, is one mainly distributes in the Africa Sahara peripheral region nomadic nation, spreads in Africa northern general area the branch in Berber Clan and tribe. By different becomes famous in the writing, language and the unique nomady peripheral nationality. The nationality of matriarchal society, but is not the matriarchal society. Although believes he/she to teach, but does not have the tradition that the female needs to wear a mask. Conversely, in the society of Thoires Croats, the just 25-year-old male needs one's eyes tested and wear glasses the veil. 图阿雷格族,是一支主要分布于非洲撒哈拉沙漠周边地带的游牧民族,是散布在非洲北部广大地区的柏柏尔部族中的分支。以迥异于周边民族的文字、语言与独特的游牧生活出名。母系社会的民族,而并非母权社会。虽然信仰伊教,但却没有女性需要蒙面的传统。相反的,在图瓦雷克族的社会中,年满25岁的男性才需要配戴面纱。 The one who made the outside world stare dumbfounded was its bold marital values, the female can have many companions when the marriage, and divorce the property all turned over to them. 更令外界瞠目结舌的是其豪放的婚姻价值观,女性可以在婚姻外拥有多名伴侣,且离婚时财物全归她们。 Except these strange customs, they are inborn warrior. The local area has a famous maxim „to Tuareg, the desert does not have secret”. On this desert, they compared with anybody know how to battle. In Mali Civil War, the guerrilla forces of Tuareg almost retreating in defeat again and again that government forces hits. 除开这些怪异的风俗,他们都是天生的战士。当地有句著名的格言“对图阿雷格人来说,沙漠没有秘密”。在这片沙漠上,他们比任何人都知道怎么作战。在马里内战中,图阿雷格人的游击队几乎是将政府军打的节节败退。 Also because of its powerful battle efficiency, Dictator and big warlords of many Mediterranean Sea is favoring about the battle efficiency of Aleige clansman. And most famous is Qadhafi, it usually liked recruiting Tuareg Clan mercenary soldier. After Libya Civil War erupts, Qadhafi even started out for day to Tuareg 1000 USD attractive rewards, helping him suppress the rebel forces. 也正因其强悍的战斗力,不少地中海的独裁者、大军阀都对阿雷格族人的战斗力青睐有加。其中最出名的就是卡扎菲,其素来喜欢招募图阿雷格族雇佣兵。利比亚内战爆发后,卡扎菲甚至向图阿雷格人开出了一天1000美元的诱人报酬,帮助他镇压反政府武装。 Naturally, this sum of money whether cashed in no one to know. 当然,这笔钱是否兑现了无人知晓。 To be honest, time Roberts from the beginning has suggested Jiang Chen, since takes the selected location of mercenary base in Niger, recruits Tuareg directly perhaps is a good choice. However after one pondered over, Jiang Chen rejected his proposal. 说实话,一开始的时候罗伯茨建议过江晨,既然在尼日尔作为佣兵基地的选址,直接招募图阿雷格人或许是个不错的选择。不过经过一番思忖后,江晨还是拒绝了他的提案。 Main reason then stemming from and other distrusts its culture and belief, to avoid presenting the decision that the calamity makes in the future. The refugee who at least these flee from the hometown will not quarrel suddenly must go home. Regardless how to think, is the refugee who these flee from the homeland is more credible. 这其中主要的原因便是出于对其文化与信仰等多方面的不信任,为了避免日后出现乱子而做出的决定。至少那些逃离家乡的难民不会突然吵着要回家。无论怎么想,都是那些逃离家园的难民更靠谱。 In this also calculates that in spacious adobe house, Jiang Chen saw Emir in legend. 在这栋还算宽敞的土房内,江晨见到了传说中的酋长。 „The guest in distant place, hoping your wealth like the fine sand of Sahara generally endless.” That dark-skinned female Emir nods slightly, holds their palms together to say. “远方的来客,愿你的财富如同撒哈拉的细沙一般无尽。”那位皮肤黝黑的女酋长微微颔首,双手合十道。 Perhaps is because frequently and French has to do, a French that she spoke is also fluent. However again how fluent, only studies English Jiang Chen cannot understand, therefore stood there very much simply did not say a word, looks how Roberts did to go to school. 或许是因为经常和法国人打交道,她说的一口法语还算是流利。不过再怎么流利,只学过英语的江晨也是听不懂的,于是很干脆地站在了那里一言不发,看着罗伯茨怎么做就学一遍。 „Thank your generous to land, wishing your clan and tribe to prosper, hope your camel in groups.” Roberts also returns a courtesy in a standard French said. Actually this fellow can several country languages, Jiang Chen not make clear. “感谢你对土地的慷慨,愿你的部族繁荣,愿你的骆驼成群。”罗伯茨也是用一口标准的法语回礼道。这家伙究竟会几国语言,至今江晨都没搞清楚。 hears word, this slightly old female Emir grins to smile, the wrinkle pushed in one. 闻言,这位略显苍老的女酋长咧嘴笑了笑,皱纹挤在了一起。 Following ceremony very simple, binding the man who is thicker much the kerchief carried two bowls of camel milk to be placed in front of two people. According to the custom of native, the man on the face entangle is thicker in the kerchief and veil that more can manifest regarding the respect of guest. 接下来的仪式很简单,裹着厚得吓人的头巾的男人端着两碗骆驼奶摆在了两人面前。按照当地人的习俗,男人在脸上缠的头巾和面纱越厚,越能体现出对于客人的尊敬。 It is said before the male guest visited here, needs to take the kerchief, at least must the mouth blocking. However now looks like, they in the process of secularization, many made some concessions to the external culture. 据说以前男客人拜访这里时,也是需要带上头巾的,至少是必须把嘴给挡住。不过现在看来,他们在世俗化的过程中,多少还是对外来文化做出了些许让步。 That female Emir does not know that is reading aloud reads the incantation or the prayer, in brief the half of the day, was then smiling to two people of hand signal that made invitation. 那个女酋长不知是在诵念咒语还是祷文,总之叽里呱啦了半天,然后微笑着对二人做出了请的手势。 Looks at front that bowl of muddy camel milk, Jiang Chen suspected this gadget just pushed. Looked at Roberts again, the eyebrow corner/horn of that goods also pulled out pulling out. 看着面前那碗浑浊的骆驼奶,江晨不禁怀疑这玩意儿是不是刚挤出来的。再看了看罗伯茨,那货的眉角也是抽了抽。 „Can this thing really drink?” Jiang Chen spits the mortise with English low voice. “这玩意真的能喝吗？”江晨小声用英语吐槽道。 „Can drink can drink, but believes me, will drink you not to drink for the first time for the second time.” Although expression somewhat painstakingly, but spread out time made the Warrior common magnificent feat, is holding that bowl of camel milk, closed one's eyes to raise head to fill fiercely. “可以喝是可以喝,不过相信我,喝了第一次你就不会想喝第二次了。”虽然表情有些苦,但是罗布次还是做出了勇士一般的壮举,抱着那碗骆驼奶,闭着眼睛仰头猛灌了下去。 Un, can look, he drank this gadget to be for the second time. 嗯,看得出来,他喝这玩意儿应该是第二次了。 Secret being flabbergasted that Jiang Chen looks. 江晨看的暗暗咋舌。 Looks at the Roberts appearance, the smiling face on that female Emir face showing was brighter. The guests drink is more heroic, more can manifest the guest's respect to Master. 看着罗伯茨的样子,那个女酋长脸上露出的笑容更灿烂了。客人喝的越豪迈,越能体现出客人对主人的尊敬。 When sees Jiang Chen, her eye even more was bright. 然而当看到江晨时,她的眼睛却是愈发的亮了。 The Roberts bowl has not put down, Jiang Chen smilingly has put the spatial bowl on the table. 罗伯茨的碗还没放下,江晨已经笑眯眯地把空碗搁在桌子上了。 Some little time, Roberts drank up finally, swayed is patting the bowl on the table. But when he sees that side Jiang Chen, eyeball really must suddenly. 好一会儿,罗伯茨终于喝完了,摇晃着将碗拍在了桌上。可当他看到江晨那边的时候,眼珠子简直要突了出来。 Comes out from the Emir room, two people received saw off warmly. 从酋长的屋子中出来,两人受到了热情地欢送。 Returned to the vehicle, Roberts hmph hmph wiped a mouth. 回到了车上,罗伯茨哼哼的抹了一把嘴。 „Damn, I felt that my stomach pasted up oil.” Saying, Roberts looked at Jiang Chen one strangely, „said, you could bear that strange taste unexpectedly?” “见鬼,我感觉自己的胃糊上了一层油。”说着,罗伯茨又是怪异地看了江晨一眼,“说起来,你居然受得了那怪味儿？” „Strange taste? Also ok.” Jiang Chen hā hā smiles, installed to compel to rest the head on the arm very much by the seat back cushion. “怪味儿？还行吧。”江晨哈哈笑了笑,很装逼地枕着手臂靠在了靠背上。 Except that on the mouth moistened a greasy fishy smell, he is really one drop has not drunk in the belly, all delivered to storage space. 除了嘴上沾了点油腻的腥味,他还真是一滴都没喝到肚子里,全都送到储物空间里去了。 Then, his skill really causes was getting more and more adept. 说起来,他这技能简直使的越来越娴熟了。 After the neighbor friendly interacts, three fierce-tempered horses again start off. 在与邻居友好地互动之后,三辆悍马再次上了路。 Finally, Jiang Chen saw in that desert „castle” Future security company station.( To be continued.) 终于,江晨看到了那座沙漠中的“城堡”未来人保安公司驻地。(未完待续。)
