Chapter 312 Fire Pit
Big Gold Tooth said, "Over the years, I've traveled all over the world, almost every continent, and honestly, there are very few countries with better public safety than China. Even in developed Western countries, people rarely dare to go out at night."
Taking a sip of his drink, he continued, "Also, try your best not to get involved with the women here.
You might have heard about the situation here; 50% or even more people carry the AIDS virus, and one careless mistake could lead to a lifetime of regret.
If you have a good girl by your side, you shouldn't make such a mistake."
"Uh…"
Hearing him say that, Ye Bufan and He Shuangshuang both looked a bit awkward, unsure how to respond.
Big Gold Tooth said with emotion, "Brother Ye, now you know how hard your Old Man's life has been, right? I really don't know how I got through these ten years.
When you go back, you must tell Tiger Girl to talk to her Old Man and let me go back. My family has been single-heir for three generations, and they're waiting for me to carry on the family line."
Ye Bufan said, "Old Man, I came to Africa this time to save someone. Can you help me?"
Big Gold Tooth said, "Tell me the situation."
Ye Bufan recounted Cao Xiaowan's experience and finally said, "I want to find this woman and bring her back to China."
He knew that Big Gold Tooth was from a special department and should have more resources than himself.
"Brother Ye, this matter is quite difficult to handle."
Big Gold Tooth said, "In South F Country, there are over 130 tribes, and the population combined is countless. The official numbers are completely unreliable; there's no census here, so no one knows exactly how many people there are.
Another point is the language barrier here. Trying to find someone is even more difficult."
He Shuangshuang asked curiously, "Isn't it said that the official language here is English?"
Big Gold Tooth said, "That's correct, English is indeed the official language, but it's limited to big cities and official contexts. Less than 10% of the entire African continent speaks English. Here, the most commonly used language is Zulu.
When you go to those large and small tribes, you'll find very few people understand English, and the most crucial thing is the accent.
You should know about accents, right? For example, in Hunan Province, China, no Hunanese person would claim to understand all Hunan dialects. Sometimes, the accents differ just across a river."

Ye Bufan said, "What about the officials then? Is there no population information registration? If we can find Kanu, things will be easier."
"Officials?" Big Gold Tooth chuckled, "Brother Ye, this place is completely different from China. Many tribal people only recognize their chiefs; there's no such thing as a so-called president.
There, a word from an official big shot isn't as effective as a chief's fart."
Hearing him say that, Ye Bufan frowned. According to his previous idea, once he arrived in Africa and found Kanu, the problem would be solved, and with his abilities, he could definitely bring Cao Xiaowan back to China.
But now, if he couldn't find her, even with his immense power, he couldn't use it.
Big Gold Tooth took another sip of his drink, sighing, "These women, if you ask me, they're just brainless. I've seen too many of them here over the years.
Thirty years ago, when China was poor, it was understandable to seek foreigners for a better life.
But now China is strong, hundreds of times stronger than many countries, and they still like to seek foreigners. Isn't that just crazy? They're completely throwing themselves into a pit of fire."
He Shuangshuang asked, "Are there many Chinese women who are tricked into coming to Africa?"
"Quite a few, anyway. I've seen countless over the years. At first, when I had nothing to do, I even helped a couple of them, but later I gave up. I just couldn't help them all.
Besides, everyone is an adult. Since you chose this path yourself, then bear the consequences."
He Shuangshuang asked again, "Do all those women live miserable lives here? Surely some of them live well?"
"Live well? You're too naive."
Big Gold Tooth said, "The economy here is very underdeveloped, so it's inherently difficult to live a good life, unless you're from a wealthy family that controls resources. Otherwise, it's definitely not comparable to an ordinary life in China.
Additionally, customs and cultures vary greatly. Here, women are treated almost like goods, their status is far different from that in China.
Based on my observations and summaries over the years, women who come here generally face three types of situations.
The first type is considered relatively good: they meet a man who has at least some conscience, can at least eat enough, and doesn't suffer too much.
For example, a while ago, I met a woman who married here and always followed her husband around selling yellow discs. This is already a very good outcome.
The second type, which is also the most common

type.
Here, men usually have four or five wives. Only one is the legitimate wife, holding a relatively higher status, while the others are subordinates with no status within the household.
And among these women, one always has to go out and sell herself to earn money for the family, to make ends meet.
When Chinese women come, this task falls upon them because our women have delicate skin and are much prettier than black women, so naturally, they earn more money.
In recent years, many black men from various tribes have realized this situation and have gone to China, fabricated identities, and tricked several Chinese women into coming back, their sole purpose being to earn more money. The Cao Xiaowan you mentioned is one such case.
What's most regrettable is that there are many such brainless women. They always think the moon is rounder outside of China, unaware of how terrifying this continent is.
Once they fall into this pit of fire, contracting AIDS is inevitable, and being able to return alive is simply a luxury."
He Shuangshuang felt incredibly heavy-hearted listening to this and asked again, "What about the third type? Is there anything more tragic than this?"
"Of course there is. Many tribes here are truly not much different from primitive people; their actions are beyond our imagination."
Big Gold Tooth said, "In some undeveloped small tribes, women are communal, almost like collective property; anyone who wants to use them can.
Many tribes have sacrificial customs, and they practice human sacrifice. Every year during sacrifices, a large number of women are killed, including those Chinese women who were tricked into coming here.
Besides that, cannibals also genuinely exist; I've personally witnessed them."
He Shuangshuang felt her scalp tingle. Her previous understanding of this continent was beautiful grasslands and graceful giraffes; she had never imagined these dark aspects.
At the same time, she constantly felt pity for those foolish women. It seemed their lives in China were too comfortable, and they ran here as if their brains had been kicked by a donkey.
Ye Bufan frowned and said, "Old Man, do you mean it's very difficult to rescue Cao Xiaowan?"
"Yes, very, very difficult."
Big Gold Tooth said with a serious expression, "To rescue that woman, you must overcome at least three difficulties.
First, finding Cao Xiaowan is an extremely difficult task.
This area is vast, and transportation is very undeveloped. Trying to find one person by traveling through over 100 tribes is even harder than finding a needle in a haystack."
