Chapter 440 439. Little Ghost and Chiyu (Monthly Pass 136+)
Sensing the hostility of the Indians, Ah Miao, who had been staying in Li Du's backpack, crawled out to reveal her upper body, waving her front paws and yelling 'oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up', as if he was a warmonger.
Seeing Ah Meow, several Indians showed interested expressions and pointed at it with fiery eyes.
Li Du knew this look very well. When he was hunting in the National Forest Park, he met the Comanche Indians led by Harris, and the other party also showed this look.
Because the long-tailed tiger cat is brave and good at fighting in the jungle, many Indian tribes regard it as a totem, and some rich Indians like to keep tiger cats as pets.
Of course, other tiger cats are not as powerful as Amiao, let alone as intelligent.
In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, Li Du stuffed Ah Miao back into his backpack.
As a result, he pressed down the gourd and picked it up, and the crispy noodles poked out his head again, waved his paws and whimpered at the Indians a few times.
Li Du had no choice but to push it down again, and said sternly: "Don't show your head, just stay inside!"
Ah Meow kept waving its paws and whining, and must go out to show off to Li Du, but the space in the backpack was small, so it swung its paws left and right and kicked, and finally hit the crispy noodles.
Now that it was lively, he just scratched his paw in dissatisfaction, Ah Miao was angry, the fight outside was not started, and the little guy inside almost started doing it first.
Li Du was so depressed that he had no choice but to take out a piece of dried fish for Ah Miao, and a few raisins for the crispy noodles.
In this way, each of them had something to eat, and the two little guys calmed down.
A few minutes later, Hans hurried over with Da Ao. Seeing Li Du and Godzilla surrounded by people, Da Ao rushed into the crowd aggressively, shouting: "What do you want?"
The Indians around all retreated one after another, with fear on their faces. Da Ao's appearance, expression and size were too lethal.
Some Indians came from behind, they were all strong men, and they were also aggressive. Seeing these people, a few Indians who were a little scared because of Da Ao's arrival became domineering again and surrounded them again.
Li Du asked, "What's going on?"
Hans smiled bitterly: "Did they see your two feathers? Damn it, I should have kept these things."
Li Du thought about it for a while and said, "Yes, they became like this after seeing the feathers. What's going on?"
Hans said: "Our feathers represent the friendship of the Hopi people, but here are the Navajo people, and the two sides are sworn enemies, do you understand?"
The Hopi have always regarded land as the most sacred thing, because agriculture is a very important part of their culture, and without land, there would be no agriculture.
Their neighbors, then, are the Navajo Nation, and neither tribe has the concept of defining and dividing land, and has always lived on the land that their ancestors once lived on.
On December 16, 1882, President Chester Allen Arthur passed an executive order "creating the Hopi Reservation," helping them own a piece of land all to themselves.
However, the reservation is too small compared to the Navajo Nation, which is the largest Indian reservation in the United States.
The land is small, but sadly, according to the geographical division given by the government, the Hopi land is located in the middle of the Navajo reservation, which is about half the area of the Navajo village.
The purpose of setting up the reservation is to prevent the encroachment of white settlers. From now on, except for the Hopi people, no one else can settle and develop fields on this land.
However, this did not protect the Hopi from the threat of the Navajo, especially since neither tribe had the habit of accurately demarcating land boundaries.
Small territory and few resources mean that the population of the Hopi is also small. Among the Indian tribes whose population is the combat power, they are naturally no match for the Navajo.
So there was no way, the Hopi people had no choice but to succumb, but instead of bowing to their deadly enemies, the Navajos, they turned to the US government for help.
In 1851, the U.S. government built a fort in Arizona and stationed troops in the Navajo territory to curb their threat to the Hopi.
The Navajos are good at fighting, even in the face of the US government, they will not retreat, and they still choose to fight the Hopi.
This approach angered the U.S. government, and the militia attacked. They captured the local Navajos and locked them in the fortress, forcing them to stop bullying the Hopi people.
Under the high-pressure and iron-fisted policy, the Navajo had to give up using force to bully the Hopi, and the two sides entered a period of peaceful coexistence.
In fact, this is not so much peace as it is that the Navajos do not take the initiative to invade the Hopi land. If the Hopi enter their land, they will still be attacked mercilessly.
Hans explained all this, and Li Du understood what was going on, it was the gods fighting the little ghosts, and it was the fire at the city gate that caused the fish in the pond.
He was shocked: "It is already the 21st century, the information age, the age of peace, are there still racial conflicts here?"
Hans snorted: "These barbarians have not entered the post-information age. They don't care about the Internet. They still regard the land as their lifeblood."
At this time, a 60-year-old Indian came out and said seriously: "Are you friends from the northern cowards?"
Hans explained: "Northern cowards refer to the Hopi people. Their territory is north of here. Because they asked the government for help, the Navajo called them cowards."
Li Du didn't want to make trouble, so he said, "Maybe there is a misunderstanding between us, we have nothing to do with the Hopi tribe..."
"Don't say that name, they're northern bastards!" shouted an Indian.
The old Indian waved his hand to stop his impulsive subordinates, he winked at the tour guide, and said a few words in the tribal language.
The tour guide reluctantly got into the car, calmed down the panicked tourists in English, and left here in the four-wheel guided vehicle.
In this way, without the constraints of tourists, the Indians became more and more arrogant.
The old Indian said: "We Navajos are not weak and uncivilized like the northern cowards, young man, you burn their pheasant feathers with fire, and then you can leave here."
Li Du said: "Why do you force us? Sir, I paid the entrance fee and the tour guide fee. I will not burn the pheasant feathers, nor will I swallow my anger and leave!"
Hans quickly winked at him, brother, this is not the time to be tough!
He whispered: "Later we will scold these sons of bitches to death online, let's forget it now, be honest and submissive, save my life first!"
