Soon, the men on the raft saw a number of young men running out of the village, followed by some Indian children. Everyone had a big smile on their faces, and they waved their arms happily at the people on the raft.

Coyotes and boar teeth paddled their paddles and drove the raft closer to a shallow shore shore.

As they approached the shore, several young Indians jumped into the water and pushed the raft closer to the shore.

After officially landing, the elder Lyme jumped off the raft and greeted these Indian friends on the shore with a smile.

After Pei Pei handed the reins of the "little red date" to a young Indian who helped her, she also jumped onto the shore. Then she introduced her husband, Austin, who jumped onto the shore one by one, to the Indian friends who had come to greet them.

Not long after a group of people exchanged pleasantries on the shore, they saw the old chief Wolf Tooth and the deputy chief Fierce Bull, as well as several tribal elders walking towards this side with smiles on their faces.

Pei Pei first gave her husband a formal introduction, then pointed to the old chieftain who had carried them from the raft, and said with a smile: "The last time I came to your tribe as a guest, I didn't bring anything empty-handed, so I felt embarrassed. So this time I specially prepared a little gift, which is a little bit of kindness for me and my husband. ”

The old chief was not very polite, and after saying "thank you" to Pei Pei very happily, he turned his head and gestured to the fierce bull beside him with his eyes.

After receiving the old chief's eyes, the fierce bull stepped forward to express his sincere gratitude to the young couple again, and began to direct some Indian youths on the shore to carry all the gifts into the village.

"Let's go. Let's go into the village together. With a greeting from the fierce bull, Old Lem followed the large army with Peipei and Austin. I walked towards the village not far away.

On the way to the village, Pei Pei and the others saw that a lot of land on the shore had been reclaimed by the industrious Indians. These fields have now been harvested. There are also a lot of dry and withered haystacks piled up on the ridges on both sides.

After walking through this field, the village of the brown bear tribe is close in front of you.

This small Indian village in the deep mountains and old forests is built on a flat slope on a high terrain, composed of some low mud houses, the structure of the houses is like a matchbox box, there is no eaves, from a distance, almost every house on the roof, you can see a lot of corn, peppers and other grains,

Wait until you get closer and take a closer look. The windows and doors of these houses were also boxy, some with sackcloth curtains, and some of them had wide open doors, and in the doorways sat old Indian women doing needlework and the like.

Most of the houses seem to be dark and not in the middle of winter, and they look very simple to live in.

The old chief led his guests through the houses to an open flat field in the middle of the village.

The old chief brought the guests to the tents, turned to them and smiled, "These two tents were set up in the morning. It's for guests from afar, so go in and see what else you need to prepare? ”

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain of one of the tents and made an "invite" gesture to Pei Pei and the others.

Old Lem poked his head out and glanced into the curtain. Then he turned to Pei Pei and Austin and smiled, "It's not bad inside, at least it's clean!" I'll leave this tent to you, and the tent next door is mine! I'm going to drop off my luggage. Take another nap and meet again at dinner time in the evening! He said. He spontaneously walked towards the adjacent tent.

Pei Pei and Austin thanked the old chief, and then followed behind the old chief with their luggage. walked into the temporary home assigned to their young couple.

The floor of the tent was covered with a straw mat, a low table in the middle, and a large wooden basin in the corner, which was covered with a small plastic basin. Other than that, there is only a simple bed made of wooden planks. There is also a straw mat rolled in one corner of the bed, on which a set of cotton mats is stacked.

The old chief walked to the bed, spread the straw mat on the bed, and continued to cover it with a layer of cotton mats, then turned to the young couple with a smile and said, "I know you all have your own sleeping bags, but the temperature here is still quite low at night, what are you missing?" I command that it will be prepared for you. ”

It's good to have such living conditions in the deep mountains and old forests!

After Pei Pei and her husband looked at each other, she smiled and said to the old chief, "That's already good! Thank you for your hospitality! ”

At this moment, an Indian woman opened the curtain and walked in, followed by a child with whom Pei Pei was more familiar, Wolf Tail.

The Indian woman held a large clay pot in her hand, smiled at Pei Pei and Austin, and silently placed the large clay pot on the table.

Wolf Tail then put the two wooden bowls he brought next to the clay pot, and then turned to Pei Pei and raised a smile: "Miss Pell, you shouldn't have had much lunch on this journey, my mother made you potato stew and meat soup, you should deal with it first, and then you will have a big meal in the evening." ”

Pei Pei smiled and touched the little face of the wolf's tail: "Thank you for me, mother!" ”

The Indian woman, the mother of the wolf's tail, smiled shyly at Peipei, then nodded to the old chieftain, and turned to exit the tent.

At this time, the old chief looked at the young couple with a smile and said, "You eat something to cushion your stomach first, and then you can rest or walk around the village." If you need anything, you can tell Wolf Tail to do it. ”

After saying this, he nodded to the young couple, then lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.

After seeing the old chief leave, Pei Pei and Austin put their luggage in the corner, then took the wooden bowl, scooped each of them a bowl of hot broth, and sat down on the bed board to eat.

While eating, Pei Pei also asked the wolf tail: "I brought gifts to the children in the tribe, why didn't you go with them?" ”

Wolf Tail raised a smile and replied, "I have already gone to see it just now, divided a few pieces of chocolate and candy, and the rest are some toys, I am already a big child, so let the toys and these things be played with by my younger brothers and sisters." ”

Pei Pei was eating and chatting with Wolf Tail, but Austin next to her was smiling and silent all the time, watching his wife and the Indian boy gossip without a word.

After a while, a large pot of potato stew was wiped out by the young couple.

At this time, the wolf's tail consciously cleaned up the empty bowls and basins.

"Miss Pell, you can rest in the tent for a while, and I'll come and talk to you after I've packed all these things." After saying this, the wolf's tail went out with the empty bowl in his hand.

At this point, only Pei Pei and Austin were the only ones left in the entire tent.

The two of them could finally discuss things quietly for a while at this time.

"My dear, do you think we should go to the old chief now to talk about cooperation? Or is it better to find a more favorable time to talk about this later? As for when to officially start talking about cooperation, Austin still trusts his wife's judgment.

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Pei Mo rubbed her chin and gave an answer: "I think that before we talk to the old chief about cooperation, it is best to talk to the fierce bull as the deputy chief, as long as we can explain the work of the fierce bull, I believe that our first step here is equivalent to half the success." ”

"That's fine! Just listen to you! Austin said, stretching his waist.

"Come and help me pack my luggage first, and when the wolf's tail comes back, I'll let the little one take us to find the fierce cow!" After Pei Pei finished laughing, she got up and walked to the corner where her luggage was kept, unzipped one of her backpacks, and pulled out her sleeping bag.

After the two of them were busy in the tent for a while, Wolf Tail returned.

So, Pei Pei directly asked Wolf Tail to take them to the fierce bull.

Following the wolf's tail, the couple came to the door of a low earthen house in the village.

"Uncle Eagle, are you there?" Wolf Tail yelled at the door.

Immediately after, the bull poked its head out of the door.

When he saw the Peer couple behind the wolf's tail, he greeted with a smile, "Why are you here?" I was thinking of looking for you in your tent in a moment! ”

"So you've changed your name to Eagle now?" Pei Pei was curious for a long time along the way, and only then did she finally learn the latest name of the fierce bull from the mouth of the wolf's tail.

I saw a fierce bull, oh wrong! It's time to call him the Eagle.

I saw the eagle scratching the back of his head innocently, and said with a hint of obvious shyness in his expression: "After I came back from hunting golden eagles with you last time, the big guy started to bark!" I haven't gotten used to this new name myself, so if you're not used to it, go ahead and call me Bull! ”

At this time, Austin picked up the conversation and smiled: "This is the second time I have met you, and for me, whether it is a fierce bull or an eagle, I have not yet formed an inherent habitual title in my heart." In that case, I'll just call you Eagle in the future. ”

When he said this, Austin stretched out his hand to the eagle and said with a serious expression: "Let's get to know each other again!" I'm Austin Hercules, Pell's husband, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Eagle! Thank you very much for inviting us as a couple to the Brown Bear Tribe. ”

The eagle smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it back, "It's also an honor for our tribe to be a guest!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his humble cabin, wondering whether he should invite anyone in. (To be continued......)
