Chapter 1412 1412. Chief (15)
Thaddeus Lam didn't do things very well. When Hakatulie was about to push and drive away Li Du and his party, he took his nephew to block a few people and insisted: "This is a distinguished guest of the tribe!"
Haka Turema said stiffly: "You know the rules of the tribe, the tribe does not accept whites and blacks as VIPs!"
"But Mr. Li is the same as us, he is of yellow race, he is not white or black." Sadislam replied forcefully.
Indians are a general term for a race, which refers to a certain ethnic group, not a certain race. At the beginning, there were two races of Indians, namely the yellow race and the white race.
Among them, the first contact with Europeans and Americans was the Indians among the yellow race, who seized their land and resources and killed them.
For centuries, the more traditional Indians were either killed or married to other races, and now most Indians in the United States are Caucasian, somewhat Caucasian in appearance.
The Mahikan is a traditional Indian tribe. They maintain the purity of their blood, and their skin color is between black and white, which is closer to the yellow race that Li Du belongs to.
It is a big event for outsiders to enter the tribe. Someone later notified the chief, and he came with his men.
The chief was about forty years old, shirtless and muscular. A pattern was painted on his forehead with red and green paint, like two leaves holding a flame.
Seeing him coming, Hakaturima and Sadislam stopped arguing and stood aside with their hands down.
The chief looked at them with majestic eyes and asked, "What's going on?"
Hakaturima said first: "Chief, Sadislam and Katurom did not bring back the supplies airdropped by the evil white government, but brought back some outsiders. Look at what they have done!"
Thaddeus Ram didn't speak, and watched the other party's performance with cold eyes.
Li Du didn't even speak, this situation made him a little tired. He used to think that the Indians in the deep mountains were relatively simple, but obviously he was thinking too much.
In this way, he didn't even have the idea of staying here. If the chief wanted to drive them away, he decided to turn around and leave, leaving the two uncles and nephews alone.
The chief didn't speak, he looked at Sadis Ram, who stepped forward and said, "Chief, what happened..."
He introduced the cause and effect, and introduced that they followed the helicopter to the distant hills. During the period, they did not find the airdropped supplies, but found a copperhead. As a result, Katurom was bitten when he checked the situation of the copperhead. Thaddeus Ram was eager to pay attention to his nephew, and wanted to push away the poisonous snake, but was accidentally bitten too.
Then Li Du and his party came on stage, and he revealed the existence of Ah Ao: a holy wolf, it was the holy wolf who discovered them and found them and rescued them...
Hearing this, the expressions of the chief and others changed.
Hakatuliema shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, this is not a holy wolf, this is a raised wolf!"
"We raised wolves too. Can those devils be tamed?" Thaddeus Ram asked, "Do you remember what they look like when they grow up? Wolves cannot be tamed!"
Hakatulema insisted: "Who knows what methods these outsiders used? Maybe they have invented some drugs to control animals..."
"Stupid, you're talking stupid things, you've disgraced us Maxicans." Katurom laughed.
Haka Turima clenched his fists as if to beat him, the chief raised his hand and said: "Be quiet, don't let the guests watch the excitement. Haka Turima, you know that Sadislam is our reliable relative, he There must be a reason for doing this, stop the quarrel first, our relatives and guests must be tired after walking all the way, let them take a rest first."
This is very polite and makes people feel very comfortable, but now Li Du already knows that these Indians are shrewd and cunning, he doesn't trust the chief, and thinks that he must have some kind of conspiracy in being so friendly.
It was already afternoon, and the lunch time had already passed, but the chief still arranged food for them.
Xiao Ma approached Li Du and laughed softly: "Boss, do you want to eat? I can't trust them."
Li Du couldn't trust them either. Some Indian tribes are still incompatible with mainstream American society, and the two sides are still hostile. Some white and black people are not afraid of wild beasts and poisonous snakes when they enter the deep mountains and old forests, but they are afraid of encountering radical Indians.
This social contradiction is related to history. As we all know, since the 17th century, Spain, Britain, France and other forces have successively invaded North America.
In order to exclude other colonists, each country will form military alliances with some local tribes and provide them with large amounts of weapons and horses.
The Indians with low production levels were also very happy to accept their "gifts", so the Indians were also involved in the European war.
From 1756 to 1763, the "Seven Years' War" with France and Britain as the main body began. On the North American battlefield, the Iroquois tribe stood on the side of Britain, other tribes in the north were on the side of France, and the Indian tribes in the south fought with Spain. Great Britain goes to war.
Later, when the American War of Independence began, the army commanded by Washington launched a thunderous attack on the British colonists and achieved a crushing victory.
The British colonial army was retreating steadily, so they recruited mercenaries at high prices, and many Indian tribes joined them to attack the Washington army and civilians.
The Indians attacked violently and brutally, and they massacred civilians, which made them disliked by Washington and the citizens of the United States for a long time thereafter.
Conflicts are like this, if resolved, it will become a virtuous circle, some Indian tribes gradually integrated into the mainstream society; if not resolved, it will become a vicious circle, these Indian tribes can only go deep into the mountains and forests to isolate themselves.
Looking at it now, the Tawixi tribe should belong to the latter, but Li Du is not afraid. He released space-time flying insects to monitor the chief's arrangement, and if there is any problem, he will directly deal with it!
Everything was normal, the chief personally went to the tribal chef and asked him to prepare some wine and meat for everyone, and there was no small action during this period.
After making arrangements, the chief returned with a basket containing dried tobacco.
A young girl came up to crush the tobacco, and the chief smiled and said, "Guests, come on, you're welcome, and taste the smoke of Tavisi, it will give you the wonderful feeling of being in the clouds."
The Indians have special hobbies for gambling, tobacco and alcohol. Each tribe has casinos, and also has its own tobacco plantation fields and wineries.
Li Du didn't smoke, but he couldn't take away the other party's kindness, so he nodded.
The Marklov brothers, Godzilla, the driver, and the firecrackers went up and squeezed some cigarettes into wooden pipes, lit them, and began to puff.
