Chapter 135: Indian Tribes (4)

Along the way, Wolf Tail explains to Pepe in stumbling English that Tata's den of the bobcat is located next to the tent of the bull. Tata was brought back by a prey ox during the hunting season the year before, and when he first came back, he was emaciated and wounded. Because of the treatment of the tribal doctor, in addition to the fierce bull, Tata is willing to let the doctor approach. As for anyone else, without the premise of being appeased by the fierce bull, whoever dares to come forward will be arrested!

With the explanation and explanation of the wolf's tail, everyone had already walked to the tent of the fierce bull.

At this time, the fierce bull was squatting on the edge of the nest of the tower, and a wooden basin was placed in front of the nest, which contained a lot of offal and other scraps after the slaughter of wild animals.

The lynx, named Tata, was squinting at his dinner. Hearing the footsteps of the crowd, it opened its eyes and screamed warning at them.

The eagle feather plucked from the old chief's crown lay peacefully at Tata's heels.

After stroking Tata Huashun's fur, the fierce bull got up and walked towards Pepe, "Miss Pell, Tata's temper is bursting, and if I hadn't suppressed it, it might have hurt you!" I think it's better to forget it, as for the purpose of your visit, I know the purpose of your visit, I can help you go to the eagle's nest and get a few young eagles back. In my opinion, you don't need to catch an adult falcon yourself, and young eagles are easier to domesticate, aren't they? ”

- Of course I know that young eagles are easier to raise! It's a pity that by the time the young eagles grow up to come in handy, the herbs I planted would have already gone into the bellies of those damned saboteurs.

So, Pepe shook his head with a smile and replied, "Mr. Fierce Bull, you see, with so many people coming with me, how could I try to be dangerous?" Besides. The old chief is here to test my wit, not my strength! ”

With that, she crouched down. shook the piece of meat in his hand, and made a "hiss" teasing sound in his mouth. She was crouching about ten paces away from Tata's nest. The bull was relieved to see that Pepe had not approached Tata in any such a hurry.

The bull thought in his heart: Anyway, with him suppressing Tata on the side, Tata would not pounce and hurt people. At most, they refuse to eat from other people's feedings.

"You want to lure Tata out of the nest with food? I declare in advance that Tata will not ask for any food that anyone hands him other than my own hand feeding. The fierce bull explained from the side.

"Well, Wolf Tail told me once just now, I just want to prove it." Pepe smiled perfunctorily as he exuded an affinity.

- I just need this killer feature. Hum! Besides, my meat is not ordinary, just now on the way over, I had already taken advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, and secretly sprinkled the powder of the Strengthening Pill on it, how could this lynx not be able to bear the bait? Pepe thought to herself.

Sure enough, with the light breeze of the night breeze, the smell of the Strengthening Pill gradually rushed to the tip of Tata's nose. Tata's nose twitched, then he slowly got up and walked towards the piece of meat in Pepe's hand.

Two or three paces away from Pepe, Tata stopped. Looking at the piece of meat in Pepe's hand. It hissed softly twice, as if it wanted to move forward and endure.

Pepe's sense softened

So, under the incredible exclamation of everyone. Tata finally continued to walk, and the distance of two or three steps was gone.

Watching Tata enjoy nibbling on the piece of meat in Pepe's hand, and even resisting Pepe's act of stroking his fur, the bull couldn't believe it.

After rubbing his eyes, he asked Pepe in surprise, "Miss Pele, can you sue me how you did it?" It's incredible! Tata has lived in the tribe for almost two years and this is the first time it has eaten food from anyone other than me! This is a miracle that even the elders of the tribe can't do! ”

Pepe gently stroked Tata's smooth fur and laughed haha, "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm more fond of animals." ”

Then. She got up and walked to Tata's nest and crouched down to pick up the eagle feather.

Tata lazily glanced back at Pepe's actions. Meaninglessly, he turned around and continued to nibble.

"Well, the old chief's test has made me clear! Let's send this eagle feather back to the old chief! Pepe shook the eagle feathers in his hand at the bull, old Lem, and the crowd of onlookers. The smile on his face was bright and proud.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When Pepe handed the eagle feather in his hand to the old chief, the old chief smiled and bowed his head.

The fierce bull couldn't help but step forward and whispered to the old chief about Pepe's process of obtaining the eagle feathers.

The old chief laughed when he heard this, and then he raised his hands and said loudly to all the people: "The intuition of animals to distinguish between good and evil is the most sensitive and true. This Miss Pell, since she can get Tata's approval, then, she will also win my approval! I! The chief of the Brown Bear Tribe, Wolf Fang, is here to announce to all the people that this beautiful and brave girl, henceforth - will be an eternal friend of our Brown Bear Tribe! ”

As soon as the old chief's words fell, all the Indian warriors around him cheered.

Then, a young Indian maiden handed the old chief a handmade shawl of various colors, which was long, wide, and wide. The old chief took the shawl and beckoned to Pepe, motioning for her to come forward.

Pepe didn't know what to do, so he walked up to the old chief with a smile on his face.

The old chief raised the shawl in his hand and motioned for Pepe to bow his head. He then draped the shawl over Pepe's shoulders.

At this time, old Lem leaned into Pepe's ear and whispered: "The Indians call this shawl 'Reboso,' and it is the exclusive item of the Indian women. Once an outsider has gained the friendship of the Indians, they will receive gifts from the Indians representing friendship. If you're a man, you'll get other gifts, like eagle feather arrows and the like. Hehe, you're a woman, so they have to give you this 'Reboso'. ”

Pepe touched the shawl on her body and asked Old Leme softly, "Then how can I express my gratitude?" ”

"Just do the salutation I did at the camp gate earlier." Old Lem replied.

Pepe hurriedly repeated the Indian ritual again.

While Pepe was expressing his gratitude, at some point, several Indian women stepped forward. Holding colorful clay pots in his hands, he poured a full bowl of wine for the guests.

Then the old chief sat down with a smile. He waved his hand at Old Lem and Pepe, and motioned for them to sit down with them.

Followed by. The old chief took out an arrow feather, cut the palm of his hand with the arrow, and dripped a drop of blood into the wine bowl in front of him.

He passed the bloodied bowl to the man next to him.

Among the Indians who received the bowl, some took out their sharp weapons and cut their palms and dripped blood into the bowl, and some did not drip blood. In general, it is the people who drip blood into the wine bowl that greatly outnumber the people who do not drip blood into the wine bowl.

The bowl was rounded and passed back into Pepe's hand, and Pepe was once again unconscious, and she had to look at old Lem.

Old Lem explained: "This is also an ancient tradition of the Indians. This custom represents an act of vows! As long as there is a drop of blood in the bowl, it means that they identify with you. ”

After saying that, old Lem handed Pepe a dagger, "Here, you can also drop a drop of blood into the wine bowl." Then take a sip and pass the bowl back on. All the Indians who have drunk the oath will henceforth consider you their lifelong friend. ”

Pepe looked at the dagger handed in front of him, and sweated silently.

This Indian tradition is truly barbaric!

In this situation, Pepe is equivalent to being forced to go to Liangshan. If she dares to refuse. It is tantamount to offending a large number of warm and friendly Indians.

Therefore, Pepe had to take the dagger handed by old Lem with a stiff smile. After gesturing on the palm of her hand, she finally decided to use the knife on the thumb of her left hand.

Pepe raised the thumb of his left hand. Carefully cut a hole and dripped blood into the bowl.

Then, she picked up the bowl and swallowed a small mouthful of bloody wine with a wrinkled nose. Holding back the feeling of gagging, she passed the wine bowl back in her hand.

At the same time, several Indian elders were already holding strange pottery instruments in their hands and playing them "dong dong".

There were also many young Indian boys and girls, singing strange tunes around the central campfire. While dancing a strange way.

Pepe pressed his tongue against his tongue and suppressed the feeling of gagging. Look up in the direction of the old chief.

The old chief was passing the bowl of wine to the next person, and Pepe took the opportunity to open his bag. After pulling out the wallet from it, she coughed in the direction of the old chief and asked, "Dear Mr. Chief, may I ask who you will send to take me to the Eagle's Nest tomorrow?" ”

After saying that, she opened her wallet, took out a stack of green Franklin from it, counted them, handed them to the blanket in front of the old chief, and said, "This is two thousand dollars, the reward for leading the way." ”

The old chief pushed back the stack of banknotes in front of him, smiled and said, "Indians don't get paid for helping friends, so you better take the money back." As for tomorrowβ€”" He beckoned to the bull.

The bull had just drunk the wine bowl, and after handing it to the next person, he wiped his mouth and walked over to the old chief and squatted down.

"Fierce Bull, it's up to you to take our new friend tomorrow to find the Eagle's Nest."

"Yes, Chief!" The fierce bull nodded in reply.

The old chief turned his gaze to Pepe again and said, "In a moment, after the celebration is over, the women of the tribe will take you to rest. Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, I will have the women of the tribe come and wake you up. ”

Pepe nodded, then looked at the stack of dollars pushed back in front of her, embarrassed. As a last resort, she had no choice but to glance at old Lem.

When Old Lem received the look, he grinned and laughed, "In this way, this money should be used as money to buy gifts for the children!" Wolf teeth, the Indians don't refuse gifts from friends either, do they? I'll collect this money for you, and I'll think it's the money I will pay for candy and toys for my kids at my grocery store in the future. I'll be bringing more toys and gifts for the kids in the tribe next time I come over. ”

With that, Old Lem picked up the two thousand dollars from the carpet and put them in his pocket.

In this way, the dispute over the honorarium was easily resolved by Old Lem.

After about half an hour of celebration, the young Indians, singing and dancing, returned to their seats. The big guys began to eat, drink, and laugh again. It wasn't until the campfire faded that the dinner finally ended.

An Indian woman stepped forward and beckoned Pepe to follow her to the tent in unfamiliar English.

Pepe nodded to old Lem, picked up her bags, followed the Indian woman, and entered a tent.

After a brief wash, Pepe was finally able to lie down and close her eyes. (To be continued)
