Chapter 1393 1393. Camps in History (25)
One thousand dollars and an unwarranted promise to avoid trouble, Li Du thought it was not bad.
He had cash on him, so he counted a thousand dollars to the lawyer, and said, "We're going to get out of here right now, and we're going to climb up this ridge, and we won't be hunting any more animals here."
Claude took his money with a smile and said, "Okay, Mr. Li, I wish you all the best."
The result of this incident surprised Li Du. He thought that encountering uncivilized Indians would inevitably lead to another fight, and he was even prepared to exchange fire and escape.
Unexpectedly, the Indians learned to use laws to solve problems. Of course, they had no legal basis, but the result was not too much. Li Du acquiesced that their family law could be used as a basis.
The burly man took the cash, counted it and put it away, then looked straight at Li Du and said, "Hey, sir, is the monkey on your back injured?"
Ah Bai, who had been hiding in Li Du's backpack, crawled out, sat on his shoulder and watched the incident curiously. The injury on its lower body was obvious, and it was wrapped with several layers of gauze.
Li Du remembered those poachers' interest in A Bai before, so he asked vigilantly, "What's wrong?"
The burly man took out a small clay bottle from his pocket and said, "I have an ancestral medicine for healing injuries, which is made from twenty-five kinds of plants. I will sell it to you for 1,000 yuan a bottle, do you want it? It can heal your monkey's wounds in two days."
No matter how his words sounded like what a charlatan said, Li Du couldn't help laughing, and asked, "So expensive?"
The burly man said: "I think you look like a rich man, so I want to sell it to you. I would not take it out for ordinary people. Only our people will use this medicine."
Having said that, he looks more like a charlatan.
As if he was afraid that Li Du would not believe it, the big man said, "In two days, it is guaranteed that the monkey's wounds will heal and he can climb trees and walk again. You must have spent the money well."
Li Du said: "You don't even know my monkey's injury, so you can guarantee it?"
The big man smiled and said: "I was scratched by a shotgun bullet. The wound is not serious, but the humidity in the mountains is high and the temperature difference is large, so the wound is not easy to heal. Your medicines are not suitable for the environment here."
After hearing this, Li Du became serious and said, "How do you know that the shotgun bullet was scratched?"
The big man said: "It's very simple. Looking at its hair, there are yellowish and black spots. This is the result of being burned by gunpowder. The gunpowder that can cause this result comes from a shotgun. I know its power. Since your monkey is still alive It was able to sit up, obviously it was only scratched by the projectile, otherwise its lower body would have been smashed!"
This analysis is very reliable, and Li Du feels that the big man is somewhat reliable.
The big man shook the bottle again and said, "I can see that you attach great importance to this monkey. It is your favorite pet, right?"
"right."
The big man said again: "I won't murder your pet for a little money. Wouldn't it arouse your anger? With so many guns, our tribe can't escape here. If I lie to you, you can Come back to me, this is big trouble, and I won't get the Horde into big trouble for a little money."
Li Du considered it for a while and said, "Five hundred yuan a bottle."
The big man shook his head: "One thousand yuan, this medicine is absolutely effective. It took us a year and a half to collect all the herbs we need!"
Li Du released the time-space flying insect, and it was very easy to verify his words. The time-space flying insect reversed time, and he saw the process of making this bottle of herbal medicine.
The big man didn't lie, the herbal medicine was very laborious to make, and it took more than a year to collect all the herbs, and finally a lot of herbs were made into a large bottle of this herbal medicine.
He counted another thousand dollars to the Indian, who handed him the bottle with a grin, and said, "Come back to me after you've used it up, one thousand dollars a bottle, it will have miraculous effects on trauma!"
The expected conflict did not appear, and the Indians were not unreasonable. On the contrary, they were milder than most of the treasure hunters Li Du knew.
After getting the money, the Indians left. Luguan looked at their backs and said, "Aren't they here to touch porcelain?"
Li Du motioned Brother Wolf to untie the bandage for Abai, and said, "It's possible, but this shouldn't be their main business, otherwise they would have starved to death. How many people come here all year round?"
The contents of the small medicine bottle were some black and green paste exuding a fragrance. Brother Lang hesitated, "Do you really want to use this thing?"
Li Du felt that judging from the smell, it wasn't a bad thing. He wiped some on A Bai's wound, and A Bai grinned, but he didn't cry out in pain like before.
After paying two thousand yuan, they continued to climb the mountain.
The good weather was over, and unknowingly there were overcast clouds in the sky. When we camped at night, Brother Wolf chose a flat hillside with a leeward wind.
Li Du took out a roll of negatives. After reversing the time, he looked at the travel route of the photographer at that time, and then compared it with the map to correct the route.
Now, he has not set foot on the route to the gold burial ground that the chief and the photographer traveled together. Before embarking on that route, he must first find the former location of the Kehaina tribe.
They had already gone deep into the mountain forest at this time. There was no road around the mountain before, and it was very difficult to enter the mountain. It would take at least half a month to walk from the outside of the mountain to their current location.
The night was getting dark, there were dark clouds in the sky tonight, and there were no stars or moonlight, so Li Du chose to go to bed early.
Watching the starry sky in the Appalachian Mountains is even more wonderful. The brilliant stars seem to be shining on the top of the mountain above, and it seems that you can reach them by climbing another mountain.
After getting up the next day, he checked the map carefully, and after another climb, they finally reached a valley.
Li Du raised his head and saw towering mountains at both ends of the valley, as if the gods had struck a sword here and cut out the valley.
There are some big birds flying above the valley. Brother Wolf observed with a telescope and found scops owl, scops owl, red-tailed hawk and northern goshawk successively.
This is in line with historical records. There are eagles nesting on the top of the Kehaina tribal camp. The name "Kohina" means "the birthplace of the eagle" in the Indian language.
This is the abandoned camp of the Kehaina tribe, which has been abandoned for more than a century.
In history, many explorers who wanted to find gold treasures came here. The camp was severely damaged. Only by searching carefully could we find some caves.
The outside of the cave is covered with vines and weeds, and you have to push them away to see the entrance of the cave.
Some caves have been occupied by wild animals, and there are no traces of Indian life in them.
After resting for a while, Li Du was going to lead the crowd to retrace the treasure-hiding route taken by the chief and the photographer, but not long after they got on the road, Ah Ao twitched his nose for a while, and suddenly took the lead and ran into the nearby forest.
