Chapter 450 449. Kavalala (Monthly Pass 146+)
Li Du also had a small Nokia brick, he took it out and said, "We can trade now."
The old man shook his head and said, "No, it's not this kind of mobile phone. I'm talking about smart phones, Apple, Samsung, mobile phones that can install software!"
Hans curled his lips and said, "You are quite fashionable, you have a lot of contact with the outside world."
The old man giggled and said, "We Hopi people are not Amish people. We don't refuse to make progress."
Li Du said: "Since this is the case, why can't your tribe use US dollars for transactions?"
The old man said: "This is the rule of the ancestors!"
Well, here we go again, Li Du sighed, he waved to Hans, Hans reluctantly took out his mobile phone and handed it to him.
Seeing this brand new iPhone, the old man's eyes lit up: "Yes, this is it, this is it!"
Li Du said: "I can give it to you, but only for one copper plate? Then unless I'm crazy, I won't do such a business."
"What more do you want?" asked the old man.
Li Du packed up all the rags and scraps in the drawer, and said, "Give them to me."
The old man shook his head again and again: "No, no, you are too greedy."
Li Du said, "Then give me half."
He split the scrap metal in half, and the patina glove model was in the half he drew to his side.
The old man stroked his chin and beard to think about it. After a while, he sighed and said, "Well, you are friends of our tribe after all, let's make a deal!"
There are a lot of good things here in the Hopi tribe. Many handicrafts, especially statues, have been around for a long time. Xiao Chong is very interested in the time energy inside.
Li Du bought some wood carvings and handicrafts that he was particularly interested in as much as possible, and packed them all up to absorb time energy for him.
But he didn't take the time energy in the things that didn't belong to him.
Li Du has his own principles in life and doing things. As long as you don't provoke him, as long as you don't bully him, then he will treat him as a gentleman. If you bully him, then don't blame him for being cruel!
In the evening, a bonfire was lit on a solid open field between the second and third mesas, and the treasure hunters were led to the clearing, which was Kavalala of the Hopi tribe.
The ground in this clearing is reddish black, and the ground is very solid, obviously compacted repeatedly, walking on it is like walking on a road.
Li Du looked at the ground, which was very flat and without gaps, so he was surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Is this a whole piece of red rock on the ground? I mean, are we standing on a huge red rock? "
The Chief of Security shook his head and said, "Oh, no, this is dirt land."
Li Du nodded and said: "This place is really hard, is it red earth?"
The chief of public security smiled and said: "No, it's ordinary land. The black and red on the ground are stained red with blood. The reason why it is extremely hard is the result of repeated compaction after we irrigated it with blood plasma."
Li Du looked around in shock. This piece of land must have the appearance of hundreds of acres, which is considered a large square. The entire square is covered in this color. If it was stained with blood, how much blood would it take? How many people did they have to kill?
What they saw later proved that the chief of public security was right, he was wrong:
Some people slaughtered all kinds of animals, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and tails of fresh fish. They slaughtered them in the square, and then poured the blood into buckets.
Some big men carried buckets and sprinkled the blood on the ground like watering flowers, and then some people sprinkled a layer of soil on top, and some drove a road roller to roll over it repeatedly.
The chief of public security introduced: "In the past, we used manual tamping of the land, but now with machines, it is much more convenient."
Li Du couldn't help but said: "What's the purpose of doing this? Blood soaking into the ground can easily breed bacteria and viruses, which can easily cause epidemics."
The chief of public security said: "No, we will continue to roast the fire, the bacteria and viruses will not survive, and the ground can be better compacted."
"As for the purpose? This is our martial arts arena, the training ground for our warriors. Blood can stimulate them to be more brave, and it can also bring the blessing of the Valkyrie!"
On the square, some firewood will be piled up tens of meters apart, and gasoline will be sprinkled on it. After being ignited, raging fire will fly into the air, making the square in full swing.
A head of sheep, pigs and whole chickens, ducks and geese were put on the flames, while cattle and deer were divided into two halves, and the half and half were roasted over the fire.
The Chief of Public Security asked: "You bought Zimu Dao, do you carry Zi Dao with you?"
Li Du shook his head, the chief of public security beckoned and ordered, and soon someone brought a dagger-like dagger.
He handed it to a few people and said, "Whatever you want to eat later, and what you like, cut it off with a knife and eat it."
Li Du sighed: "This is wild enough, very good, pure man!"
There are more pure men, and someone sent them rough, pale and semi-pure stones.
"What's this?"
Da Ao looked at it and said: "This is a brick of salt, it should be rubbed on the meat later, you can add as much salt as you want."
Li Du had never experienced this kind of eating method, and said, "It's more pure man."
The Hopi make their own wine, which is cloudy and tinged with a strange greenish tint.
A treasure picker was surprised when he saw it, and asked, "What kind of wine is this? Grass wine? Fruit wine? Why is it this color?"
Faced with this problem, most treasure hunters could only look at each other in blank dismay, but Li Du knew the reason, and said, "They should have adopted the original brewing method, which is to ferment grains, then steam them, cool them, and not filter them, so they appear cloudy and swollen. green."
He knew this because he had studied ancient poetry before, and there was a sentence called "Green Ant New Fermented Wine, Red Clay Small Stove". At that time, when he saw the use of "green" to describe wine, he felt strange, so he searched for relevant knowledge.
A cask is rough earthenware with a beak-like opening that can be poured into a bowl.
Li Du poured a bowl and tasted it. The taste of the wine was very strong. Fruits were added in it, and it also had a fruity aroma. The taste was more complex, but it tasted better than pure white wine or red wine.
As night fell, the number of people coming to the square gradually increased.
Some women wearing traditional Hopi costumes danced on the stage, and the men below held wine bowls and cheered while drinking.
More and more people came, and more and more people danced. In the end, two or three hundred women appeared in the venue, dancing happily around the bonfires.
Li Du thought that Kavalala was just singing and dancing and eating meat and drinking, but after the women danced for a while, the men pulled out the meat-eating knives and jumped up too.
After a mixed dance, they all suddenly knelt on the ground, and began to kneel down to the highest burning bonfire.
Li Du and the others did as the Romans do, they quickly put down their bowls and lay down on the ground.
The Indians would pray when they knelt down. The group did not understand the Hopi language Shoshone, so they had no idea what they were talking about, so they could only babble.
After kneeling for a minute or so, some elderly Indians stood up first, and then others rose, and a new program began.
