Hans, who had been holding his mobile phone, came out and said haha: "Indeed, we just misunderstood, you get out of the way, let's leave." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Du said: "Refund my tickets and tour guide fees!"

The tone is as tough as ever, and the spine is as straight as ever.

The old man was furious: "You want to challenge our bottom line?!"

Hans continued to make peace, and he raised his hand and said, "How about you return the money, and we will leave you those alloy arrows under the stones?"

An Indian man said, "If it falls on our territory, it belongs to us!"

"This Nima stinks rascal!" Hans scolded in a low voice.

The old man didn't think about the conflict either, he waved his hand to stop the restlessness of his subordinates, and said with a gloomy face: "Just do it, return the money to this kid and let them go!"

The Indian man took out some money from his trouser pocket and handed it to Li Du, who didn't count it, took it and walked forward, ignoring the menacing Indians on the other side.

Someone wanted to provoke trouble and block the road, but Godzilla rushed up with an arrow and came up with a savage collision, and flew straight away!

Others didn't dare to stir up trouble, and honestly got out of the way.

Li Du and they left, the old man waved his hand, and the Indians rushed to the gravel: "Find those sharp arrows!"

Soon, someone found a short arrow that had fallen in the dust, took it back with great interest, handed it to the old man, and said, "Allokia, please look." ”

The old man held the arrow with a suspicious face: "What is so special about this arrow, and what is the difference between it and our arrow?"

"I can't tell, but it's an alloy that may look like steel, but it's actually very sharp. A big man said.

The old man nodded and walked to the side of the canyon, where a group of big men surrounded him, looking expectantly at the arrow in his hand.

With a cough, the old man grabbed the arrow and thrust it into the canyon stone.

'Boom!' There was a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, and the short arrow bounced back, shaking the old man's palms......

The Indians looked at the red rock, and there was a white spot on the stone, not even a hole, not even as sharp as the arrows of their tribe......

"We've been tricked!"

"Drive faster, drive faster, those idiots will probably come to us for trouble when they find out they've been tricked. Hans said.

Godzilla stepped on the accelerator, and the truck accelerated again, speeding down the highway without stopping.

Li Du said depressedly: "Damn, it's a waste of time and effort, and there's nothing to gain." ”

Hans grinned and said, "Who says there's no gain?

Li Du asked strangely, "What is the big harvest?" Why don't I know?"

Hans said confidently: "Wait and see, it's definitely a big catch!"

They drove north, leaving Navajo territory and following HWY 264, the Hopi territory next.

The road passes through three mesas, the first, second and third mesas, which form the core of the Hopi reservation.

In other words, after Li Du and the others passed through the land of the Navajo people, they then entered the core area of the Hopi people.

After Hans explained, he couldn't help but laugh: "Do these Indians know how to fight? No wonder the tribe is often surrounded by the Navajos. ”

"It's that you don't understand the Indian conflict, they have to stay on the front line, otherwise if they retreat, the land they have withdrawn will be occupied by the other side. ”

Li Du was stunned: "The Navajo people are so domineering?"

Hans said: "On the land question, all the Indians were domineering. The Navajo in particular are cunning and love to play the trick of herding sheep in the enclosure. ”

"What's the matter with the sheep enclosure?"

"It's to drive the sheep into a piece of land, and then the land belongs to them. ”

Li Du nodded to show that he understood, this is really the style of the Navajo people, just now their arrows fell, and the Navajo people think that it has become their property.

Turning down the road, they drove for about ten minutes on a fairly wide dirt road, and a large village with a series of thatched huts appeared in front of them.

Hans patted the bridge and cheered, "Welcome to the oldest ever inhabited settlement in North America, Old Olebi!"

It's about a kilometer away from the village, they stop and walk.

Hans said, "No photography, no sketching, no recording, okay?"

Everyone nodded: "OK!"

It was the first time that Li Du had come to this primitive Indian settlement, and after getting close to the tribe, he looked at it curiously, feeling new to everything.

Outside the tribe there are a number of small earthen fort-like structures that surround the village, which were formerly used to defend against foreign enemies, and the buildings are very solid, leaving only observation ports and bow and arrow mouths.

In addition to these forts, there is a building that looks like a chapel at the entrance, with a cross on the roof and a statue of Jesus inside.

Li Du asked in surprise, "Hey, are these Indians or Christians?"

"This is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is Mormonism, and it was about the nineteen-fifties when the Mormons settled in Utah, and they began to try to convince the Indians to convert to Mormonism," Hans said. ”

Hearing this, Li Du exclaimed: "God, these disciples are really crazy, they really dare to do anything for the sake of preaching." ”

"Jacob Hambling, that crazy guy is called Jacob Hambling, he first went deep into Hopi territory in 1858 and made a missionary agreement with the locals, and in late 1875, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded here. Ollie said.

Hans looked at him and said, "You know enough about this history." ”

Ollie sneered, "I wanted to join the Mormon Church at one point, so I learned some church history and knowledge. You know, Mormonism allows polygamy. ”

"Why didn't you join later? Did God see through your thoughts?"

Ollie continued to laugh: "No, it's me who finds it difficult for me to support one daughter-in-law, let alone many!"

The Hopi do not prohibit visitors from entering, but they do not allow visitors to wander around, and they have set up a visitor reception at the front of the reservation, as well as a small museum for visitors to see.

Li Du went in to take a look, the museum was full of historical photos and introductory cultural exhibitions, and the little flying insect was called an excitement after entering, and all kinds of time energy wanted to absorb the handicrafts in it.

But he can't do that, it's a bit of a steal, it's not his style.

There are also postcards made by the Hopi people in the museum, and Li Du was overjoyed when he saw it, so he bought another set and mailed it to Sophie.

Dickens wondered, "What kind of pickle girl method are you?

Li Du shook his head: "It's not a pickle girl, it's a heart-for-heart!"

"Vomit!" a group of people vomited.
