Chapter 255: The Natives of the Mountains
"I've finally found you." Looking at these deer in front of him, Jiang Hai couldn't help laughing, he was looking for these guys.
At that moment, he also untied the love gun he had been carrying behind him, and put the crosshair on the bodies of the deer in front of him.
Deer antlers, in fact, are antlers, but antlers are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, not the bigger and thicker, the better.
As male deer get older, their antlers get bigger, and the same goes for white-tailed deer.
Antlers have some effect on collecting and fighting, but are of little use for deer antler velvet.
The best age for deer antler velvet is between three and six years old, and generally speaking, between two and three years old is also good.
So Jiang Hai's target this time is those half-sized male deer, and no one will care about male deer of this age.
Soon, Jiang Hai aimed at a male deer with antlers about ten centimeters high, and the AUG in his hand slowly stabilized with the ups and downs of his breathing.
But just as he was ready to shoot, suddenly the deer in front of him suddenly became vigilant, and almost in two breaths, they exploded in all directions, and at this moment, bursts of gunfire also came from a distance.
Then I saw that the deer that Jiang Hai had taken a fancy to was knocked to the ground by a shot, and more than a dozen deer were shot at the same time.
The doe that didn't hit the doe fled as fast as they heard the gunshots.
"What's the situation? Anyone else staring at this herd of deer? Seeing his target being hunted in front of him, Jiang Hai's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't care much about a deer, not to mention that this deer was still a wild deer, not to be exact, it didn't belong to him.
The main reason why he showed such a look was because he had some surprise. At the same time, there is some vigilance.
Judging by the gunshots, there must be more than a dozen of these people, and there are only two men and four girls on my side, and anything is possible in the wild, so it is always wrong to be careful.
At that moment, Jiang Hai also withdrew the gun. motioned for Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai to hide next to him first, and he also protected the other four girls behind Bell, in case something happened to him, so that he could make emergency changes.
And although nothing like this happened to the four girls, they probably knew that sometimes the most terrifying thing in the wild was not the beasts, but these people, so they didn't say anything, just stood there and stopped talking.
After these deer are gone. A slightly dull trumpet sounded, and a group of people stepped out of the forest in the distance.
There were about fifteen or sixteen of them, and they were all very burly, and they were basically about the same.
Dressed in very casual clothes, but not hunting clothes like Jiang Hai and Bell, but like casual clothes, and most importantly, the people here are not ordinary white or black. On the contrary, some of them seem to be Asian.
He has black hair and some dark skin. But it is the kind of black that belongs to Asia, not the kind of black that is black, with a big nose and deep sunken eyes, which looks a little similar to the Mongolian people in China.
At this time, these people all had guns in their hands, but they were different from the good guns in Jiang Hai and Bell's hands. The guns in their hands may be homemade, very simple, or made of wood, and they don't look very good. When they saw Jiang Hai and Bell also standing there, these people were a little hesitant, but they still separated the three people to stand in front of Jiang Hai and the others, looking at Jiang Hai, and the others quickly walked to the side of the group of deer and began to harvest the skin and meat of the deer.
"It's an Iroquois." Neither of the people on either side was holding a gun, which also meant temporary peace, and seeing that these people didn't seem to have any hostility towards themselves and the others, Bell also said in Jiang Hai's ear.
"Iroquois?" Hearing this term, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be a little surprised, it was the first time he had heard of it.
"It is a kind of Indian, and the so-called Indians actually refer to a name for all the indigenous people in the Americas, not just one kind of human being, which is similar to the meaning of the descendants of Yan and Huang in China." Seeing that Jiang Hai didn't know very well, as a teacher, Cindy Clive, who specializes in popularizing these things, stepped forward and said to Jiang Hai.
Indians, in fact, this is not a good word, they are those invaders of Europe, for all the indigenous people of the American continent except the Inuit, the famous Mayans, Incas, Aztecs, are called Indians.
It's just that outsiders don't call it that, for example, the 56 ethnic groups in China are naturally called Chinese people when they are external, and they will be divided into other ethnic groups in detail, and the same is true for Indians.
However, most of the Indians were slaughtered by the 16th century.
Only a small number of Indians survived by fleeing deep into the mountains or to Canada.
However, until 1950, the Indians were still the most hunted peoples in the Americas.
It has always been said that at the beginning of the establishment of American imperialism, China was like a piglet, and its status was even inferior to that of blacks.
But in fact, at least the people of the United States will still hire Chinese, and they will let the Chinese survive in this land, and they will also let the Chinese make money to live, compared to whites and blacks, they are naturally three types of people, but compared to the Indians, they are much better.
After all, the original Indians, those in the United States, seemed to be inferior to pigs and sheep, and pigs and sheep were kept to provide meat, and these people killed to kill, just to kill for the sake of killing, that's all.
The famous Sioux people, namely the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota, said that if they were exterminated, they would be exterminated, it was so shameless and bloody, and the Iroquois had organized an alliance to rebel against these people.
However, the alliance broke down, most of them fled to Canada, and some were kept in captivity like cattle by the US imperialist government, and it was not until 1950 that the US imperialists began to formally accept these people.
But these people can no longer accept the US imperialism, they do not need the jobs provided to them by the US imperialists, they do not need to integrate into the culture of the US imperialists, they just operate in their own residential areas, and most of these settlements are now protected areas or national parks, whether the Americans find out of conscience or are forced by international pressure.
These people have been given areas where they live, and no one is allowed to enter them without their invitation.
After decades of development, although the two still have an inseparable enmity, at least they will not shout and kill when they meet as they did at the beginning, of course, if they are killed because the citizens of the US imperialists invade their territory, they will die in vain.
And they will not easily attack the citizens of US imperialism outside their own stations, which can be regarded as an alternative peace.
Seeing that these people were about to leave after quickly processing the meat, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at the sky.
To be honest, it's getting late now, if these people are allowed to leave like this, then his deer antler velvet is estimated to be not thinking about it today, and it is not easy to come here today, and it is impossible for him to come over to hunt every day, so after hesitating, he took a step forward.
As soon as he walked forward, the three people who had been watching him vigilantly couldn't help but be startled, and the hand holding the gun instantly tightened, looking at him nervously, but Jiang Hai was also barehead, and after handing the gun to Bell, he shouted loudly to the person in front of him: "Do any of you speak Chinese, oh no, English?" I want to buy the antlers of the deer you hunted. ”
Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the three of them hesitated for a moment before they understood, and one of them also took a step forward.
"You want these horns? Okay, what do you trade for, don't tell me about the beautiful knife you use outside, I'm not interested in that. "Although the Iroquois now say that they live in their own small circle, they also want to live.
Life cannot only depend on food and drink, they also have consumables, and they have no light industry, and the only way is to use the skins left over from hunting, or some handicrafts and the like, to exchange for things outside.
Of course, they generally only trade with merchants they trust, not others.
They hate blacks and whites more than the yellow race, and if Bell says this, they probably won't even pay attention to it.
"Whatever you want, we can discuss." Looking at the person in front of him, Jiang Hai smiled, just change it.
"Clothes, food, cloth, steel, weapons, anything, you can just watch it." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, this person thought for a moment and said to Jiang Hai, and when he heard what he said, Jiang Hai also nodded.
They're leaving anyway, and the backpack is ready to give them anything other than skinks and pit vipers.
"This is a tent, this is a tactical dagger, this is a set of my clothes, this is a searchlight, this is a marching pot...... What can you exchange for these? Jiang Hai glanced at his things, put them in a backpack and threw them over.
These things, together, are not cheap, almost about a thousand dollars, after all, Jiang Hai is not a real travel friend, he doesn't know much about the right things, since he doesn't understand the right ones, then buy expensive ones.
Maybe buying expensive is the lowest cost performance, but at least expensive things are indeed better than cheap ones, which is beyond doubt.
Taking the things that Jiang Hai threw over, this person also rummaged through, glanced at these things, his face showed a satisfied expression, and after turning his head and shouting a few words to the people behind him, the people who were originally dealing with the deer head stopped their hands.
"These things are very good, the quality is good, very good, these deer heads are yours." Seeing that everyone stopped, this person also turned his head, said a word to Jiang Hai, and then waved his hand, and left quickly with the people behind him.
"It's so easy? Hehe, this time it's even decorated. Watching these people leave quickly, Jiang Hai was also happy and made a lot of money. (To be continued.) )
