Darkness is Coming: Chapter 467 play cards

   "Hi, my name is Muta Kazonga, and welcome to Exploring Africa: Malawi."

   The bright-eyed girl waved in front of the camera, and her bright smile made her snow-white teeth shine, adding a distinct color to this "black pearl" beauty.

"I am very happy to meet you again. In the last video, we had a taste of the local food in Malawi. Many dear viewers left me a message, telling me that the staple food Nsima, which is ground white corn into powder and boiled into a solid cake, is very good. It’s funny, but eating rat and termites is disgusting and unacceptable behavior. Haha, it’s actually just a food culture, just like Vietnam eats cat meat and China eats dog meat.” Muta Ka Congga is pure and fluent In English, Luoluo said to the camera generously, "I think everyone must be curious, why did the people of Malawi develop a food culture of eating rat meat? Today, let us find the answer."

  Muta Kazonga turned sideways and pointed to a large field behind him. Several dark-skinned boys were busy in the field, not farming, but arranging a simple mousetrap, or squatting down to catch mice with both hands.

"Look, there are some great boys catching voles. For them, catching the sensitive voles with both hands is as easy as a fisherman spearfishing. When they catch a mouse, they string the mouse onto a wooden skewer. or put it in a bamboo tube, sometimes they will put the rat meat in the sun, and eat it directly after drying, sometimes they will put the rat meat on the iron rack for grilling, and sometimes they will put the rat meat into the stew. In the pot, there are many ways to eat, and now voles have become one of the favorite snacks for children in Malawi.”

The camera closely follows Muta Kazonga, first filming how the young voles hunters capture the fat or skinny mice in the fields, and then watch how they string the mice on wooden skewers, or sell them on the street, or cook them on the spot. Or take it home to pickle and store.

   After the ten-minute video, the camera turned back to Muta Kazonga. At this time, the girl's face was less smiling and more heavy.

"In fact, we all know that such eating habits are very unsanitary. Every year, countless children in Malawi die from parasitic diseases, and the medical conditions in Malawi are really poor. There is nothing we can do about the people who are suffering from illness, we can only watch the disease take their lives."

   "Things like this happen all the time. No matter how the propaganda is banned, the consumption of rat meat cannot be eliminated. Why? Because of poverty."

"They (foreigners) say that this is paradise because of the developed agriculture, abundant water resources and fresh air, because the passports here can be visa-free and visa-on-arrival in more than 70 countries, and because this is a tax avoidance country, any foreigner All income can be tax-free, but those are the benefits only foreigners can enjoy. Foreigners can indeed enjoy a good life here, and children in the city can often eat delicious food from all over the world. They always say, oh, Malawi is actually not that poor, oh, Malawi kids can use smartphones too.”

"But, oh, they were wrong. Malawi, as an agricultural country, has never escaped poverty in terms of diet, and countless people struggle with hunger every day. Because termites can make up for people's nutritional and calorie deficits, So people will eat white clothes, and because mice have meat, people will eat mice."

   "At the end of the show, I want to show you a place."

  The screen changes, and the background becomes an overhead shot of a city, which is the capital of Malawi, Lilongwe with a population of 600,000.

"In Lilongwe, many families cannot afford to support the elderly and their children. Some elderly people will take the initiative to walk out of their homes and live a homeless life by begging to survive, while those children, older and lucky, may be able to enter a certain A sweatshop, barely surviving, but not too old to be able to produce... They may steal, be beaten to death, eat grass roots and bark, and catch mice, but in the end, it is difficult to avoid the bad luck of starvation."

"The building we see now is the Lilongwe Shelter. However, because of the corruption and mismanagement of the government, this long-disrepaired building is not a real shelter for a long time. It is just a door for the poor homeless. Provide a shelter that is barely sheltered from the wind and rain. After a day of begging, the elderly and children will sleep on the hard floor and wait for the sun to rise again. Turned into a rigid corpse and dragged away, or... eaten by people embarrassed by starvation."

"However, thanks to the help of the temple, this situation has finally changed, and now there will be people who regularly bring food to the shelter and renovate the shelter so that these poor homeless people can also wear warm clothes. They slept on a big soft bed and ate fresh food. So they voluntarily signed an agreement with the temple that if one day they passed away, the temple would take away their corpses and process them into food. What they did, the only help, they were willing to do."

   Muta walked into the shelter, and many old people and children immediately gathered around and welcomed her like a savior. Muta greeted them and made introductions.

"Now the elderly in the shelter have enough food, they clean the shelter spontaneously, and the children receive education on a regular basis. Of course, it is still difficult to teach them to read and write. The teachers invited by the temple will Teach them how to sow and cultivate. In the future, everyone will open up a piece of arable land, cultivate food, become self-sufficient, and continue to expand and extend this model, not only to rescue the elderly and children in Lilongwe, but also to rescue the elderly in Malawi. Children, I have decided to dedicate my everything to this cause. If you are also willing to support this great cause, please leave a message and let me know. We sincerely thank everyone who is willing to pay attention and care, and thank you for watching. "

   "See you next time!"

  The screen turns black, and the next shot is of Xu Le standing in a pool of blood, with corpses everywhere, looking up at the camera, with some blood stains on his face, looking bloodthirsty.

   On the other hand, Muta Kazonga was kneeling in the courtyard, staring blankly at Xu Le, as if shouting.

"why?"

   "Huh?" Yang Xiaoqian looked at Zhou Tianming beside him, not understanding why he gave such a dubbing.

   Zhou Tianming raised his hand to his chest, where he used to hang the cross necklace. Now the visible religious imprint has been erased, but the invisible psychological wall has not been completely removed.

"Why can't we do things that mutants can do?" Zhou Tianming's words surprised Yang Xiaoqian, "Mutants and mutant vassals can do this because they pursue greater interests, and we are also pursuing them. A bigger goal, and since mutants can do these things, we should be able to do them too."

"Well, you're right, but everything has a gradual process. What the mutants do is just an illusion. You see, when there is a need, they will kill the elderly and children in the shelter like a pig. , and their capital comes from some corrupt elites. They have unstable foundations, but they start faster. We are different. We start from scratch and make steady progress. You see so many companies under our banner that are booming and growing by leaps and bounds, are they for the sake of Are we accumulating money and using it? In such a sensitive period, the central government strongly supports our development because it is clear that our purpose is to benefit the people, not to use our ability to surpass the people. You are the current president of the Yuanjiao Association, these You should be very clear, okay, I'll leave it to you first, I'm going to Beijing." Yang Xiaoqian got up and patted Zhou Tianming on the shoulder.

   Zhou Tianming's eyes lit up and asked, "Director Liu's special line opened?"

   "No." Yang Xiaoqian shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Yu Qian is in a hurry to go to Beijing to ask for an explanation, I can't hold it, so I can only go with him."
