Li Du also had a small Nokia brick, and he took it out and said, "We can trade." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The old man shook his head and said: "No, no, it's not this kind of mobile phone, I'm talking about smart phones, Apple, Samsung, mobile phones that can install software!" ”
Hans pouted and said, "You're quite fashionable, and you have a lot of contact with the outside world." ”
The old man grinned, "We Hopi are not Amish people, and we do not refuse to advance. ”
Li Du said: "In that case, why can't your tribe trade in dollars?" ”
The old man said, "This is the rule of the ancestors! ”
Okay, here we go again, Li Du sighed, he beckoned to Hans, who reluctantly took out his phone and handed it to him.
Seeing this brand-new Apple phone, the old man's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's it, that's it!" ”
Li Du said: "I can give it to you, but only for a copper plate?" Then I wouldn't do this kind of business unless I'm crazy. ”
"What more do you want?" The old man asked.
Li Du put away all the broken copper and iron in the drawer and said, "You have to give me all this." ”
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 broken metal in half, and the patina glove model was in the half he had scratched beside him.
The old man touched his chin and beard and thought about it, and after a while, he sighed: "Okay, after all, you are friends of our tribe, deal!" ”
There are a lot of good things here in the Hopi people, and many handicrafts, especially statues, have been around for a long time, and the insects are full of interest in the energy of time inside.
Li Du tried his best to exchange some wood carvings and handicrafts that he was particularly interested in, and used them all to absorb the energy of time for him after he put them up.
But what doesn't belong to him, he doesn't take the slightest amount of time energy in it.
Li Du has his own principles of being a man and doing things, as long as he doesn't provoke him, as long as he doesn't bully him, then he will treat him like a gentleman, if he bullies him, then don't blame him for being ruthless!
In the evening, a bonfire was lit in a solid wilderness clearing between the second and third mebals, and the treasure pickers were taken to the clearing, which was the Kavalala of the Hopi.
The ground in this clearing is reddish-black, and the ground is very solid, apparently repeatedly tamped, and walking on it is like walking on the road.
Li Du looked at the ground, it was very flat and there was no gap, so he was strange, and couldn't help asking, "Is this a whole red rock on the ground?" I mean, we're standing on a huge red rock? ”
The sheriff shook his head and said, "Oh no, it's dirt soil. ”
Li Du nodded and said, "It's really hard enough here, is it red earth?" ”
The chief of justice smiled: "No, it's ordinary land, and the black and red on the ground is dyed red with blood. The reason why it is incredibly hard is the result of repeated tamping after irrigation with plasma. ”
Li Du looked around in shock, this land must have the appearance of hundreds of acres, it is a big square, the land of the entire square is this color, if it is dyed with blood, how much blood does it get? How many people did they have to kill?
What they saw later proved that the sheriff was right, but he was wrong:
Cattle and sheep and pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, as well as a tail of fresh fish, were slaughtered in the square and the blood was put into buckets.
Some men carried buckets and sprinkled blood on the ground like watering flowers, and some people sprinkled a layer of dirt on them, and others drove rollers to run them over and over again.
"In the past, we used to use manual tamping of the land, but now with machines, it is much more convenient. ”
Li Du couldn't help but say, "What is the purpose of doing this? When blood soaks into the land, bacteria and viruses can easily breed and cause epidemics. ”
The sheriff said: "No, we will continue to roast the fire, the bacteria and viruses will not survive, and the ground will be better tamped." ”
"As for the purpose? This is our martial arts arena, the training ground of our warriors, blood can stimulate them to be braver, and it can also bring the blessing of the Valkyrie! ”
A few dozen meters away from the square will be piled up with firewood, sprinkled with gasoline, and when ignited, a raging fire will fly into the air, turning the square into a hot place.
A sheep, a pig, and a whole chicken, duck and goose were placed on the flame, while the cow and the deer were divided into two halves and roasted in half.
The sheriff asked, "You bought a knife and did you take it with you?" ”
Li Du shook his head, the chief of security beckoned and ordered, and soon someone sent a dagger-like short knife.
He handed it to a few people and said, "Whatever you want to eat later, look at it, cut it off with a knife and eat it." ”
Li Du sighed: "This is wild enough, very good, pure masters!" ”
There were also more pure masters, and some people gave them pieces of rough and pale semi-pure stones.
"What is this?"
Da Ao looked at it and said, "This is a salt brick, it should be rubbed on the meat later, and you can add as much salt as you want." ”
Li Du had never experienced this kind of eating, and said, "It's more pure." ”
The Hopi make their own wines, which are cloudy and have a pale green tinge that looks a little weird.
When a treasure hunter saw it, he was surprised and said, "What kind of wine is this?" Grass wine? Wine? How is this color? ”
Most treasure hunters can only look at each other in the face of this problem, but Li Du knows the reason, and says: "They should have adopted the primitive wine-making method, which is to ferment the grains, then steam and cool them, without filtering, so they appear cloudy and green." ”
He knew that this was because he used to learn ancient poems, and there was a sentence called 'green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove', and when he saw the use of 'green' to describe wine, he felt strange, so he went to search for relevant knowledge.
Wine barrels are coarse earthenware with beak-like openings that can be poured into bowls.
Li Du poured a bowl and tasted it, the wine tasted very strong, with fruit added to it, and it also had a fruity aroma, the taste was more complex, but it was better than pure white wine or red wine.
As night fell, the number of people coming to the square gradually increased.
Some women dressed in traditional Hopi costumes take to the stage to dance, and the men below hold wine bowls and cheer while drinking.
More and more people arrived, and more and more danced on the stage, and finally two or three hundred women appeared in the venue, dancing happily around the bonfires.
Li Du thought that this kavalala was singing, dancing, eating meat and drinking, but after the women danced for a while, the men drew their short knives for eating meat and jumped on the field.
After a mixed dance, they all fell to their knees and began to bow down against the highest burning bonfire.
Li Du and the others followed the customs, and quickly put down the bowl and lay on the ground.
The Indians prayed when they knelt down, and the group did not understand the Hopi language, Shoshone, and did not know what they were saying, so they could only follow along with the nonsense.
After kneeling for a minute or so, some of the elderly Indians stood up first, then others stood up, and a new show began.
