Chapter Seventy-Seven: Indian Tribes

Two vans were driving on Highway 31 in Mexico, which leads to the northern state of Pansas, and Zhou Ming and his party were sitting in the vans. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Leaving Moria is definitely needed, after all, it is tantamount to a fantasy to defraud 600,000 US dollars from Miguel, and expect him to continue to help him keep secrets, so in order to avoid being tracked down by Jefferson, they must leave Moria as soon as possible, but where to go after leaving Moriah, this question once troubled Zhou Ming.

The reason is very simple, Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin and the entire desert team are all coming to Mexico for the first time, and they are not familiar with life here, and Carlos has almost never left Moria due to his own reasons, so he can't give any good advice;

But fortunately, at this time, they suddenly received a message from Fleg, and he invited Zhou Ming and them to go to Pansas as guests.

Dear Mr. Zhou Ming and Mr. Carlos, thank you very much for purchasing the corn of the Indians, and in order to maintain our long-term friendship, I sincerely invite you to come to Pansas as a guest!

This is a pager from Flegg, the same Indian chief who sold corn to Carlos, and according to what Carlos and the hyenas know, the Indians are the poorest ethnic group in Mexico, and due to the previous colonial apartheid policy, the entire Indian community is almost disconnected from white society.

It was for these reasons that Zhou Ming judged that Fleg's invitation was just Indian hospitality, not a conspiracy, so when Zhou Ming didn't know where to go now, he first went to the Indian tribe in Pansas to have a look.

Suddenly, Carlos's mobile phone rang, this is the mobile phone that Zhou Ming assigned to him for the sake of corn trading.

After a while, Carlos hung up the phone, and he told Zhou Ming in surprise: "Sir, your judgment is as accurate as God's, just now my friend called me to tell me that just an hour ago, a group of private mercenaries attacked your previous house, led by Miguel. ”

"This is remarkable!" Carlos gasped, "that is, if we leave even half an hour late, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble!"

"I see? Then I think I'm lucky. ”

Zhou Ming said this with a smile on his face, in fact, he was also a little happy in his heart, because judging from the news that Carlos said, it must be Jefferson's private army, but when Zhou Ming made his own decision, he was just resolute and didn't want to drag mud and water, but he didn't think that he had just avoided a catastrophe for himself. Of course, I didn't expect Miguel to inform Jefferson of the information so quickly, and it seems that some things are still simple for me.

However, it seems that maintaining some good habits can sometimes bring you some luck.

Mexico is a neighbor of the United States, especially in countries that have had territorial wars in history, and Mexico's standards are basically based on the United States, so although Mexico is poor, the highway is still very good, and it only takes two hours for Zhou Ming and them to reach Pensas.

Located in the northeast of Mexico, facing the Gulf of Mexico, Pansas covers an area of 100,000 square kilometers and has a population of nearly five million, most of whom are of course Indians. Since most of Pansas is a barren plateau, there is no industrial development, and more than 70% of the income comes from agricultural production, which is the main source of income for the Pansas Indians.

Along the way, Zhou Ming saw the barren plateau Gobi, the cylindrical American cactus, I am afraid that there is not much green on the Gobi, until an hour later into the Pansas Valley, the vegetation here is lush.

Zhou Ming and the others first arrived in Pansas City, where there was a small hotel specially opened by the Indians on the outskirts of the city, and it was here that they met the Indian chief Flegg.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, and little brother Carlos, I didn't expect you to come to Panzas, this is really a surprise and surprise to us! We have prepared a sumptuous meal for you at our home in Tucante, and the beautiful Indian girls have also put on their braids and put on their crowns, ready to dance to the rhythm for my distinguished guests!"

Flegg greeted Zhou Ming and Carlos very warmly, after all, he never thought that Zhou Ming and Carlos would accept his invitation, because all Indian settlements were too poor and broken. But now that Zhou Ming and Carlos are really here, how can this not make him feel ecstatic?

Then Flegg took Zhou Ming and Carlos back to Tucante, where they lived, Tukante means the last guardian in the Indian language, and it is not difficult to understand from the name, how these Indians evaded the colonists at the beginning, and were forced to hide there, and then hid there until today.

It is also due to the fact that Tucante is located in a very remote area, and it is also inhabited by Indians, so there is not even a complete road to get there, just a gravel road full of potholes.

As a last resort, the desert team drivers drove very slowly, and it took them nearly three hours before they finally reached Tukant.

When he got here, Flegg didn't even have time to completely suppress the tumbling in his stomach before he said to Zhou Ming: "Sir, this is really sorry, because the road conditions here are simply terrible, so we usually come out on horseback, and almost no vehicles are willing to come here, so I didn't know that it was such a disgusting thing to come by car." ”

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said that it didn't matter, or for the current road, it was better to use this kind of road, at least it could effectively reduce the danger of being discovered by Jefferson. However, Zhou Ming didn't know it now, this kind of thinking was still too taken for granted.

After driving the last part of the road, Zhou Ming finally arrived at Tucant, this Indian tribe is even more different from what Zhou Ming imagined, because there are no wooden tents here, some are boxy houses made of mud and stones, which seem to be closer to the style of the Loess Plateau in China than to Indian.

And with the return of Fleg, many of the Indians in Tucantri came out, all of whom had dark brown skin and heavy Asian features on their faces. Perhaps because of their lack of contact with the outside world, these Indians were different from Flleg, they basically wore no clothes, at most they wore a leather skirt.

"Our compatriots, let's welcome our best friend, Mr. Zhou Ming, and Little Brother Carlos!"

Flegg said loudly, and the scene burst into cheers, and then hundreds of Indians ran over and lifted Zhou Ming Carlos and the hyenas to the place where they were gathering, which was said to be the highest etiquette for their tribe to welcome outsiders.

When they arrived at their meeting place, it was a huge prototype square, surrounded by several large stone pillars standing tall, Zhou Ming and the others sat in the middle of the square, and a bonfire was lit in front of them, and several cattle and sheep had been slaughtered, skinned and roasted on the fire.

After a while, Flegg had already changed into his Indian chieftain costume, put on a certain eagle feather crown, and brought a bowl of wine to Zhou Ming. Then a group of Indian girls dressed in sackcloth danced barefoot around the campfire, while other Indians kept beating the branches and tambourine in their hands, singing Indian songs that Zhou Ming did not understand at all, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

At first, Zhou Ming would be a little restrained, but as time went on, they gradually integrated in, under the leadership of Flleg, hyenas and Carlos also learned Indian dance, and Zhou Ming also learned to sing Indian songs from Flleg.

The whole bonfire dance lasted for three hours, and by the time it was over, it was already completely dark, and Flegg gave up his best room to Zhou Ming and them.

The hyena was carried back by the soldiers of the desert squad, he was already too drunk, so he threw it directly on the bed, and after a while, he let out a thunderous snoring sound, Carlos seemed to be rarely so happy, he was also so drunk that he only had time to say good night to Zhou Ming and fell to sleep.

Zhou Ming went back to his room and stretched: "I'm afraid that today is the most stable day we can have since we came to Mexico, Brother Lin, you can also relax." ”

Zhang Lin smiled at this and said: "Maybe we can get rid of Jefferson's tracking, but this is also very troublesome in the jungle, although this is Chief Fleg's room, but with the environment here, I will still worry about bugs or something, and the most dangerous time in the jungle is to sleep." ”

Zhang Lin said as he took out a pack of insect repellent powder and sprinkled it around the room, Zhou Ming could understand this, because he could smell a strong musty smell from the moment he entered the door, so Zhang Lin, who had experience in surviving in the jungle, should be worried.

However, Zhang Lin can help Zhou Ming solve these survival matters, but Zhou Ming feels that he is getting farther and farther away from Mexico City.

Zhou Ming looked up at the flickering oil lamp that fell on the ceiling, thinking that in this kind of place where even electricity is a luxury, I am afraid that if he wants to sell stocks and bonds, it can only be a luxury, right? And he didn't bring a satellite phone out, in this very remote Indian settlement, he couldn't even call his mobile phone, and he couldn't receive information from the pager.

It can be said that he is now completely disconnected from modern society, and although he can get rid of Jefferson's tracking, how can he continue to short the Mexican peso?

For this question, Zhou Ming felt that his head was about to explode, but he didn't know what to do, and finally Zhou Ming fell asleep without knowing how, until the next morning, Zhou Ming was woken up by a noisy noise, Zhou Ming opened his eyes, but saw Zhang Lin and other members of the desert team standing in front of him with solemn faces.

What happened?

Without waiting for Zhou Ming to ask, Zhang Lin pointed out the window and said to Zhou Ming: "You can understand when you look outside." ”

Zhou Ming got up and walked to the window full of doubts, and was immediately dumbfounded, because in the open space at the entrance of the village not far away, Zhou Ming saw several people wearing Jefferson's private army uniforms!
