I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

The two sides of the canyon under Victoria Falls are Zimbabwe and Zambia. A railway bridge built in 1905 spans the gorge and connects the two countries together.

The Victoria Falls Bridge is 195 meters long and 128 meters high. It is famous all over the world for the 111-meter bungee jumping called "Jump into the Rainbow".

However, 111 meters is too high. There are a lot of people here, and not many really jump.

On the day when Chen Ling was riding a crocodile on the Zambezi River, a girl from the interior of Zambia stood on the bridge.

Four seconds of free fall, 111 meters of pure adrenaline, the screaming girl's eyes widened, and rushed into the rainbow across the valley.

Legend has it that the rainbow is the door of illusion, and on the other side of the door is an illusory world.

At this moment, the girl believed that the legend was true.

She saw a young exotic man standing on a four-meter-long crocodile, looking up and smiling at herself.

The moment the girl dangled from him, the man reached out and touched her arm.

She screamed, the crocodile at the man's feet opened his green eyes, his tail shook, and got into the bottom of the water, but the man was passed by a water ball, and he was nowhere to be seen.

"Benouengdu!" The girl forgot that she was bungee jumping in the most exciting place in the world, repeating this word in her mouth, knowing to return to the safe zone.

"I saw the crocodile god!" She said excitedly to the people around her.

The childish language made the people around laugh.

...

...

Victoria Falls belongs to Zimbabwe and Zambia. The two countries have each built the area near the waterfall into a national park, turning the entire area into one of the most important scenic spots in Southern Africa. There are many tourists every year.

The development of tourism has given birth to small towns in Zambia and Zimbabwe near waterfalls.

The name of the town in Zimbabwe is very straightforward. It is called Victoria Falls, and an international airport has been built.

The small town in Zambia is called Livingston. Livingston was a British explorer in the nineteenth century, one of the greatest figures in African exploration, and the first European to see Victoria Falls. He also named this waterfall Victoria Falls after the Queen of England.

It is said that Zimbabwe first changed the name of the town to Victoria Falls. Zambia expressed dissatisfaction. But Zimbabwe could not help it, so it planned to name its own town Mosi Otunia City. This is a Bantu native near the waterfall. In the dialect, it means a city of smoke that roars like a thunder.

But the name was considered inexplicable and difficult for outsiders to understand. In the end, some wise men proposed to name it after the explorer who discovered Victoria Falls. Without me, Livingston, where did you come from, Victoria Falls?

This is the controversy between two African countries for the names given by Europeans.

Chen Ling didn't know this. He rode on the crocodile and greeted the bungee jumping girl and planned to find a place to go ashore.

He wants to go ashore on the left side of the river, because he put Dr. Hu and Wang Mingyue on the left bank. But the left bank was particularly steep, and he floated a long distance before he found a place to go ashore.

Chen Ling thought that since there were people bungee jumping, he would definitely find someone there, and it would be easier to find someone. He still has some dollars in his pocket, which can come in handy.

After spending about half an hour, Chen Ling walked to the railway bridge, saw the bungee jumping place, found the cell phone signal, and connected to Francois.

Wang Mingyue and Dr. Hu have joined François and are waiting for him at Livingston.

Both women can speak English. After being put on the shore by Chen Ling, they quickly found a place to contact François.

François immediately drove across the border to meet him, and pulled all the belongings of the three people over.

He doesn't think Chen Ling will return to Namibia.

Sure enough, Chen Ling asked him to drag Dr. Hu and Wang Mingyue to the waterfall to enjoy the rare natural scenery.

They didn't give them a good look on the speedboat. Now that the matter is over, make up for them.

"This is Victoria Falls?!" Wang Mingyue got out of the car, jumped to the river, grabbed the camera and kept taking pictures.

Dr. Hu bit his lip and clenched Chen Ling's arm with both hands.

"Are you all right?" she asked, expressing concern.

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Do you see me as if something is going on?"

"Your shoes and pants are soaked, where did you land?" Dr. Hu asked again. The cliffs here are obviously not the place to go ashore.

Chen Ling noticed the crowds around him and said, "I'll tell you when I go back. You can also take a look at the scenery here. It's superb, majestic and magnificent, it's rare to see it."

"I don't know if your shoes are wet, or I brought you a pair. That's not comfortable..." Dr. Hu just looked back and cared about Chen Linglai again.

"It seems that there are sandals on the car, but the pants are no way..." she said, bringing Chen Ling a pair of plastic sandals to change, and helping Chen Ling twist his pants to squeeze out a little bit of moisture.

"Fortunately, the temperature is high today. It will be fine for a while. You can bear it for a while." She squatted on the ground, raised her head, and talked to Chen Ling with a smile. The direct sunlight made her squint.

Chen Ling gently stroked the top of her head and said, "It's okay, get up, I'll take you to bungee jumping."

Dr. Hu stood up, straightened his hair tossed by the wind and said, "Bungee jumping is too scary, I'm scared."

Wang Mingyue walked over and said excitedly: "There is bungee jumping on the bridge in front, one of the highest in the world, I want to experience it! Dr. Hu, you too!"

Dr. Hu waved his hand again and again: "Don't don't, I'm afraid of this kind of thing."

"Let's go and have a look!" Wang Mingyue said, "Let's go together!"

With a rare opportunity, everyone walked towards the bungee jumping point of the bridge.

Next Wang Mingyue's performance surprised Chen Ling.

The middle-level management cadre of a large domestic enterprise, a middle-aged woman with a respectful life, did not hesitate to jump off a bridge built more than 100 meters away, and even her joyous screams echoed in the canyon!

Dr. Hu patted his chest: "It makes my legs feel weak. It's terrible!"

The daring François was also nearby and gave a thumbs up: "Ms. Wang is so brave."

...

...

After Wang Mingyue was very happy, everyone returned to Livingston. The town is not big, but it is a world-famous tourist attraction after all, and the hotel facilities are good.

Francois arranged for everyone to stay in the best hotel.

Running around, the two women were exhausted and rested early.

Chen Ling and Francois sat in the bar.

"I didn't expect it to be Darren!" François was surprised.

Chen Ling took two women and chased Dai Lun for a day and night, but because the distance was too far, the two women didn't know who was chasing. Chen Ling did not say, lest Dr. Hu worry. At this moment, I heard Chen Ling talk about it, and François knew it was him.

Chen Ling said: "I didn't think about it. Now he is dead, but I don't know if he still has a back hand, and I don't know what is his relationship with those separatists. We have such a big investment with Huanuclear Power Group. I am worried that it will easily become their target in the future."

The fame of the Hushan uranium mine has been publicized, and it is impossible to hide it.

François said: "I don't think we need to worry too much about this. One is that the Zambezi District is far away from the Hushan uranium mine; the other is that the Logi people's appeal is not simply a separation of independence, they are more about harmony. The contradictions among the Ofanbo people in the Bissi district..."

The Ofanbo people are the main ethnic group in Namibia, accounting for more than half of the country’s population. In the Zambezi region, 80% of the people are Ofanbo people, and only 10% of the Rogis.

Although the Zambezi District has a small population, it has become a bridge connecting different regions because of its geographical location. During the South African Civil War, the Angola Civil War, and the Rhodesian War, it was invaded by different military forces many times. The number of local Rogis continued to decrease and eventually hatred. All belonged to the Ofanbo people.

Francois said: "This is an incalculable historical account. Now only the Rogis are still fighting tirelessly. The surrounding countries are no longer willing to ignore it. Because everyone owes the Rogis."

The weak become the creditors of a group of strong ones, and in the end they will definitely get the money.

"Still can't be taken lightly. Our trip to Zambezi District is a trap, so someone in the Namibian government or National Assembly colluded with Darren, that's for sure. You have to send someone to investigate this matter to avoid future troubles." Chen Ling said .

Darren was dead, but he was the only one who confirmed that Darren was dead, but he could not provide evidence. The people who colluded with Dai Lun didn't know about this, and there might be actions against Chen Ling.

Francois nodded: "I will find the media to announce Darren's death."

At this moment, a surprised cry came from the side: "Benouengandu, the crocodile god!"
