After waving goodbye to Joey and his wife, Pepe led Fu Ya to the booth of the man in Indian costume he had just seen.

When he approached the stall, Pepe realized that the other party was not an Indian at all, but an authentic white man, who had just bought an Indian costume to wear on his body.

I saw that the stall owner was wearing a large colorful feather crown on his head, and he was wearing a set of light yellow linen kaftan with colorful handmade patterns embroidered on the cheongsam, and handmade beads of various colors were sewn on the shoulders.

The stall owner even had a few red paints painted on the left side of his face.

Pei Pei walked to the stall with great interest and looked at the goods on the other side's stall.

There is nothing surprising about the goods, they are all some second-hand small household appliances and some bits and pieces of second-hand clothing, and each goods has a small price tag attached to it.

Pepe flipped through a few items on the stalls, very disappointed, turned his head and looked at the stalls on the left and right, the goods on the display were almost the same, these stalls were flea stalls for second-hand products.

She had also visited a few second-hand flea markets in Palo Alto, but these things did not appeal to her at all, because she thought she could buy real Indian handicrafts at this stall because of the stall owner's outfit.

Pepe put down a coffee pot with a price tag of $3 and was about to walk away with Fu Ya, but the stall owner greeted her enthusiastically: "Beautiful young lady, you must be the new owner of Xiaoquan Villa, right?" ”

Pepe sighed, "How do you know?" ”

The stall owner replied with a smile: "Our town is so big, and the news that Xiaoquan Villa has a new owner and a beautiful Asian girl has long been spread." Hello, reacquaint, I'm Bernie Flo, owner of the Mustang Ranch. He said. He held out his hand to Pepe.

Pepe smiled and reached out to shake the other party, "Hello, I'm Pepe Lee, you can call me Peel." ”

Since the stall owner greeted her so warmly, Pepe was embarrassed to walk away immediately, so she stopped in front of the stall and greeted the stall owner.

The owner of the Wild Horse Ranch not only wore an Indian costume himself, but even his son wore a little Indian costume. His son looked about seven or eight years old. At first glance, he is a leather boy, squatting on the ground playing with a car, and his little hands are dirty. There are also a few oil paints painted on the small face.

After exchanging a few words with the other party, Pepe finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Flo, where did you and your son buy this Indian ornament?" I'm interested! ”

Before Mr. Flo could reply, the little crouched one jumped to his feet. He replied first, "Miss Pell, I know where to buy it." I'll take you there. ”

After saying that, the little guy sniffed and stretched out his dirty little hand to take Pepe's hand.

Mr. Flo was a little embarrassed and took his son's hand. Finding a towel from the stall, he explained to Pepe while wiping his son's hands: "This is my son Topp, and my wife has also gone to visit the stall." This kid is so skinny that my wife didn't dare to take him to the stall for fear of him walking around. Instead, he taught me to look at him. ”

After wiping his son's little hand, Mr. Flo pointed to the right hand and said to Pepe: "About a quarter of an hour or so over there, there is an Indian tent there, and every year on Thanksgiving, several tribal leaders from the Indian Reserve near Yellowstone Park will send people to our town to set up stalls to make trades, and my son and I bought this dress there." ”

At first, the little guy Toph obediently asked his father to wipe his hands, and when both hands were wiped clean, he hurriedly broke free of his father's hand, and suddenly ran to Pepe's side, took Pepe's hand, and said excitedly while pulling Pepe's hand in the direction that Mr. Flo pointed out just now: "Miss Pell, I know there, I'll take you there!" ”

The little guy was so enthusiastic, Pepe was embarrassed to refuse, squatted down and smiled at the little guy: "Well, little Mr. Top-Flo, you are really a gentleman!" Then please take me there. ”

Little Topp straightened his small chest, turned his head and waved to his father, "Daddy, I'll take Miss Pell to the Indians' tent area, don't worry, you won't get into trouble, I'll be back in a while." With that, he dragged Pepe forward.

Pepe was pulled by the little guy's drag, and involuntarily stood up, she touched the back of the little guy's forehead, looked at Mr. Flo and smiled: "Mr. Flo, I will send little Topp back in a while, don't worry." ”

Bernie Flo stopped at Pepe, "This kid just wanted to go to the Indian's tent area by himself to play with the two little Indian friends he just met, and I was going to see the stall here, but my wife walked away again, and stopped him and didn't let him go alone, and this kid will volunteer to take you there when he hears that you are going there." I think I want to thank you for helping me watch the kids. ”

After saying that, he picked up a toy spray gun and two toy cars from the stall, packed them in a bag, walked up to his son, handed them to him, and said, "How can you go to visit new friends empty-handed?" This is a gift from Daddy, don't play too long, must you come back with Miss Pell when she tells you to leave? ”

Little Topp took the bag, stood firmly, and made a military posture of obedience, "Obey, Colonel!" ”

With that, little Topp took Pepe's hand and rushed towards the tent area. Pepe had no choice but to wave his hand at little Topp's father, signaling that he was reassured.

Pepe and Fu Ya were dragged all the way by the little guy, and Little Top's small figure was like a locomotive, shuttling through the crowd, and after a while, a large domed tent appeared in sight.

From a distance, I saw a long carpet spread on the ground in front of this tent, and the carpet was covered with all kinds of strange objects, and there were many customers around the carpet, picking and choosing.

There were two or three little Indians in the open space next to the tent, and when little Toph saw his little friend, he immediately let go of Pepe's hand, and he waved at the little Indians and shouted, "Hey, wolf tail, bow bent, I've come to play with you." I've got a gift for you! ”

Several of the little Indians heard Little Topp's shout, turned their heads, and beckoned to Little Top, and one of the little Indians greeted him warmly.

Little Toph hurriedly looked up at Pepe and Fu Ya and said, "Miss Pell, I'll go over there to play for a while, and you can go to the tent and choose by yourself." Come back to me when you're done. ”

After speaking. The little one took the bag his father had given him and ran towards the little Indian. Soon. The two children gathered, and two other Indian children gathered around, and several of them crouched on the ground. Little Topp opened the bag and poured the gifts on the ground, and Pepe could faintly hear Little Top's showing off the gifts to the Indian kids.

Seeing that a few children were already playing, Pepe turned his head and smiled and said to Fu Ya, "Let's go." Let's go to the tent and have a look. ”

Fu Ya nodded, and Pepe hooked Fu Ya's arm. The two walked together to the carpet in front of the big tent.

The carpet is lined with a wide variety of handmade items with Indian characteristics, including wood carvings, bone carvings, stone carvings, and ornaments. There are also a variety of pendants.

The ornaments are large and small, and are carved with various animals, such as wolves, horses, bison, and so on. These ornaments are either rough or realistic, and at first glance they are carved by hand. There are two types of pendants. One is a variety of beads that hang around the neck, made of a variety of brightly colored bone or wood beads and feathers. The other is an ornament at first glance, with tapestries and small pendants that can be hung on the wall of the home or in the rearview mirror of the car.

At the end of the far left of the carpet stood two man-high wooden stakes, the ends of which were tied with thick ropes, on which hung all sorts of colorful Indian costumes, from which the Indian costumes worn by little Toph and his father were selected at first glance.

There are so many dazzling and unique Indian handmade products, not to mention Pepe, even Fu Ya is interested in shopping.

The two of them started from the carpet on the far right and picked them out the same.

Pepe saw at a glance a bone carving, I don't know what animal bones are made of, the white slender curved bones according to the bend amplitude, by the ingenious Indians carved into a small curved bow, the bow body carved with coarse ore patterns, the bow Xuan is made of ox tendons, the whole bow body is about an arm long.

On the side of this bone bow is a bone quiver, carved with a pattern of a herd of wild horses galloping between heaven and earth: the windswept grass, the faint white clouds, the mane of the wild horses and the eyes of the leader of the wild horse king, are all carved to life.

There were also about two dozen bone arrows stuck in the quiver, which were also bone, and the arrows of these bone arrows were made of black and red feathers from unknown birds. This whole set of bows and arrows, placed on the dark brown carpet, is very eye-catching, and Pepe loves it at first sight.

Pepe picked up the bow and beckoned to an old Indian behind the carpet.

The old Indian man stepped forward slowly, spread his palms flat on his chest, bent over Pepe and straightened up, then lowered his palms on his chest, looked at Pepe with peaceful eyes and asked, "Hello, beautiful lady, do you want to buy this set of bows and arrows?" ”

The action that the old man did just now was the etiquette of the Indians' special hospitality, and although Pepe didn't understand it, she could guess that it was a kind of etiquette, so she also followed the old man's example and replied with the same action.

"Yes, I like this bow and arrow, what kind of bone is it made of? How much does it cost? After doing the same, Pepe straightened up and asked the old Indian.

Seeing Pepe's movements, the old man's eyes softened even more, and he replied to Pepe with a smile: "The bow body is made of the ribs on the bison's body, and the quiver is made of the bison's thigh bone, and after the bone marrow is cleaned, the same cow bone bottom cover is added." This set of bows and arrows was made by the elder of our tribe himself, and the carving on it also took the elder more than two months to carve. After the finished product was completed, the great witch of the tribe also blessed this set of bows and arrows! Therefore, the price of this set of bows and arrows is not cheap, and many people have come to inquire about the price in the morning when it is placed here, but they all feel that the price is too expensive and give up. ”

Pepe thought to herself, in terms of the price level of this town, how expensive is it, so she hugged the set of bows and arrows in her arms tightly and asked: "I really like this set of bows and arrows, please the old gentleman can tell me the price." ”

"The whole set of bows and arrows adds up to three thousand dollars." The old Indian replied.

Pepe sighed, thinking how expensive it could be, but it was only three thousand dollars. However, for the inhabitants of such a small town, the three thousand dollars are more than a month's salary of a strong laborer, and the inhabitants of the small town will of course find it expensive to buy such a set of bows and arrows back as decorations.

Pepe beckoned to Fu Ya on the side, after Fu Ya came over, she handed the set of bone bows and arrows in her arms to Fu Ya to put away, and then looked at the old Indian, "I want this set of bows and arrows, I don't have enough cash with me, shouldn't you be able to swipe the card here, can you accept the check?" ”

The old Indian saw that Pepe had decided to buy this set of bows and arrows without hesitation, so he turned to an Indian young man not far away and called out: "Fierce bull, come here and pack this young lady's bow and arrows." ”

The Indian boy named Fierce Bull came over, made the same welcoming gesture to Pepe and Fu Ya as the old man, straightened up and pointed to the bone bow and arrow in Fu Ya's arms, "Beautiful ladies, please give me this set of bows and arrows, and I will help you pack it." ”

When Fu Ya saw Pepe nodding at her, she handed the bow and arrow in her arms to the young man, who turned around and walked into the tent with the bow and arrow.

The old Indian continued to Pepe, "He will go inside and help you pack the bow and arrows, so that you can hold them in a moment." Beautiful ladies, please come with me here to pay the bills-"

After speaking, the old Indian pointed to a grocery store not far from the tent and said, "Our tribe only comes to this town a few times a year, and we don't know how to go to the bank to exchange checks or anything. It is said that people like to swipe their cards when shopping outside, and a credit card machine has been installed in this grocery store. Luckily, I've known the owner of this grocery store for many years, so I discussed with him, and if a customer likes something big and needs to swipe his card, he can go to the credit card machine of this grocery store and swipe his card, and the owner of the grocery store will settle the cash for us. ”

Pepe looked down at the dazzling objects on the carpet, thought for a moment, and then looked up and said to the old Indian, "I may have to buy some other things, so let's go shopping first, and then settle everything together at the end." ”

The old Indian nodded, and shouted "Fierce Bull" to the tent, and after a while, the Indian young man named Fierce Bull came out with a big oil-paper bag in his hand, and walked up to the old man, and after the old man exchanged a few words with him in the native Indian language, he saw the Indian young man holding an oil-paper bag with a bone bow and arrows and walked to Pepe again.

The old Indian pointed to the young Indian and introduced to Pepe and Fu Ya: "This is the warrior bull of our tribe, if you have any other items you like later, you can ask him about the price, I have explained to him, and when you are ready to pay the bill, call him, and he will accompany you to the grocery store over there to swipe your card." ”

Pepe thanked the old man, and when the old Indian walked away, she smiled at Mr. Warrior standing on the side, and then pulled Fu Ya to squat down and pick out the various handicrafts on the carpet. (To be continued)
