Led by the Indian warrior Mr. Bull, Old Lem and Pepe made their way to the alpine camp of the Brown Bear Tribe.

The camp was located in a small valley, and at the exit of the valley a long, wide, and wide ditch was dug with a number of pointed wooden stakes upside down.

At the back of the ditch, near the side of the camp, there was also a fence of stakes. The exterior of these stake fences is covered with layers of hay, and from a distance, it looks like a fence made of haystacks.

As he approached the ditch, the bull stopped, turned back to Old Lime and Pepe, and smiled and said, "We have arrived, you wait a moment, and I will tell the people to lower the drawbridge." ”

After speaking, he put his hands to his mouth in the shape of trumpets, and shouted "Ahh

In a few moments, three Indians appeared on the opposite side of the ditch.

After the bull waved at the three people, the three Indians walked to a wooden raft by the ditch.

At first glance, this wooden raft looked like a simple artificial suspension bridge, and the wooden raft was slowly lowered under the manual pull of the three Indians opposite. After a while, the wooden rafts were like a bridge, firmly built at both ends of the ditch.

"Let's go, come in with me! The old chief will be glad to see you coming. The fierce bull said to old Lem with a smile.

After saying that, he turned to Pepe again and smiled, "Oh, and you, beautiful and rich Miss Pell." Our brown bear tribe is a warm and hospitable people, and the people of the tribe will later use the most traditional etiquette to welcome the friendly guests! ”

Following the bull, Lem Sr. and Pepe led their horses up the drawbridge. Oh yes, and I forgot to add that before stepping onto the drawbridge, Old Lime quickly tore off a handful of green branches from the bushes on the side.

The bull was the first to walk onto the drawbridge, and he quickly crossed it to meet the three Indians who had come to meet him. "Babble" began to talk loudly. As he talked, the bull pointed to Old Lime and Pepe, who were walking on the drawbridge.

The language was supposed to be the indigenous language of the Indians, and Pepe didn't understand it at all.

But. Looking at the fierce bull's expression and his gestures, Pepe could guess what they were communicating.

Old Lem on the side probably understood a sentence or two. He whispered to Pepe beside him, "Little Peel, do you remember the taboos I told you to pay attention to after entering the camp on the way here?" From now on, watch me do every move. If you see something you don't understand or can't, keep a smile on me! You know? ”

Pepe nodded honestly.

The drawbridge looks bulky, but it's actually just over 10 meters. By this time the elder Lem had reminded Pepe, the two men had crossed the drawbridge and reached the other end of the ditch.

When he was on the drawbridge just now, Old Lem stuffed half of the green branch he had just torn off in his hand and put it into Pepe's hand.

Get off the suspension bridge. He took a few steps forward, his smiling hands raised to the sky, and after slowly retracting his hands and placing them on his chest, old Lyme smacked the head of the fierce bull at the door and the three Indians beside him, and said slowly: "Please inform your chieftain, Wolffang, that his good white friend Johnson Lyme has come to see him, and that Lyme has brought a friendly guest." ”

Pepe hurriedly followed the example of old Lyme and made the same ceremonial move. When she was done, she didn't know whether to speak or not. I had to glance at Uncle Lime on the side.

Old Lem tilted his head slightly, lowered his voice and pointed at Pepe: "Don't say anything, you will follow what I do!" ”

Pepe has a bottom in his heart. She silently retreated behind old Lem. Smile and be silent.

The three Indians behind the fierce bull hurriedly stepped forward, and the three of them responded with a welcoming gesture at the same time. The two Indians then walked back to the place where the drawbridge had been pulled and pulled the rope back to the drawbridge. One of the remaining Indians whispered an indigenous word to the bull and ran in the direction of the camp.

Old Lem could guess what the Indian had done, but Pepe wondered why he hadn't allowed them into the Indian camp.

Probably seeing Pepe's confusion at this time, Old Lem explained softly: "That person was there to inform my old friend, the chief of the brown bear tribe, Wolffang, to come out to meet us. According to the traditional customs of Indian hospitality, if there are guests who represent peace and friendship to the tribe. The chieftain of the tribe must personally greet guests into the camp. Remember, wait for the leader of the brown bear tribe to come out. You must repeat all my movements according to my every move! ”

Pepe said "um".

After waiting for a few moments, the sound of bustling footsteps and words could be heard in the direction of the camp. Soon. The old chief of the brown bear tribe led a group of men and women out of the camp.

The old chief was the same old Indian whom Pepe had had a contact with at the Indian stall on the last Thanksgiving.

As soon as Old Lyme saw his old Indian friend come out, he hurriedly stepped forward, repeated the ritual action just now, and then bent down and placed the green branch in his hand on the ground in front of the old man.

Then, he gestured to Pepe behind him.

Pepe watched Old Lem's every move, and after repeating the same ritual action, he also bent down the green branch in his hand on the ground in front of the crowd led by the old Indian.

Afterward, two young Indian maidens, each holding a handful of unknown wildflowers, walked up to Old Lime and Pepe, respectively.

With a simple smile on their faces, the girls sang a low song that they could not understand, and handed the bouquets in their hands to old Lem and Pepe.

There is no need for old Lem's mention for the latter actions, and I can guess that this is a welcome expression. So, Pepe quickly smiled and reached out to take it.

Old Lem nodded in satisfaction and explained softly to Pepe, "This is also the tradition of the Indians!" Guests are presented with green branches representing peace and friendliness, and the host returns with a bouquet of flowers representing friendliness and welcome. ”

Pepe nodded in understanding.

After all the welcome ceremonies were over, the old chief of the brown bear tribe, Wolf Fang, finally stepped forward and hugged old Lem, and a loud laugh came out of his mouth: "My old friend, why did you come all the way to see me?" Is there anything I need help with? ”

Old Lem blinked, pointed to the sky with a vertical finger, and replied with a smile: "I said old friend, you see it's getting dark, can you let us go to camp first, and then talk while eating?" ”

"Hahahaha, I forgot about my joy! Let's go - follow me to camp first. The old chieftain Wolf Fang hurriedly put his arm around Old Lem's shoulder, and then beckoned to Pepe and said, "Beautiful girl, welcome to our brown bear tribe!" Please come along and come in. ”

After saying that, the old tribal leader took Old Lem's shoulders and walked towards the camp gate with a smile. Pepe followed the two of them with a smile on his face, surrounded by a large number of Native Americans, and walked into the Indian tribal camp deep in the jungle.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the sunset was shining on the horizon, and Pepe looked at his watch, and the hands were almost 6:20.

All the adults in the camp must have come out to greet the two of them, and inside the camp at this time, only the old Indian women stood guard in front of their tents, smiling as the leader led the guests all the way.

In the open space between the tents, there were many barefoot little Indians. They gnawed their fingers or squatted on the ground, and even a few daring Indian children curiously stepped forward and took two steps.

In Pepe's opinion, whether they were old or young, this group of Indians who had not gone out to greet them just now seemed to be looking at the Western scenery, and looked at himself and Old Lyme with curious eyes, either talking to each other or pointing at each other.

Pepe smiled at the young and old along the way, and one or two Indian children, after seeing Pepe's gaze sweeping over them, shyly ran back to their mother's arms, and then exchanged something in the indigenous language.

Led by the tribal leader, they came to the very center of the camp.

Several bonfires had already been lit in the middle of the camp, and some Indian women were busy with dinner in front of the campfire.

The old chieftain beckoned to the bull, who hurriedly stepped forward. The old chief whispered a few words to the bull, who nodded and walked over to old Lyme and helped him unpack all his bags from the saddle.

Then he took Old Lem's horse and came to Pepe again, "Unpack your bags from the saddle and give me your horses, and I will arrange for the people to arrange forage and resting places for the two horses." ”

Pepe unpacked all his bags and handed the reins and whip to the bull.

The bull took the reins and the whip and stroked Pepe's mane soothingly, then turned to a young Indian behind him. Then the young Indian took the reins of the two horses from the bull, and led them away.

At this moment, several more Indian women stepped forward, and they first spread a brightly colored blanket on the ground behind the leader and the guests. Then the Indian women gathered around the bonfire and spread a long meadow on the ground.

When all the seats were arranged, the old chieftain beckoned his old friend and the beautiful guests brought by his old friend to sit down on the blanket. (To be continued)
