The distance was not as far as Hong Tao imagined, and the Indians were not as bad as he thought, and after going up the river for more than five kilometers, a small village appeared on the bank on the right. The village looked bigger and more populated than the one before, and there were several canoes on the shore carrying goods. Hong Tao saw at a glance what they were loading into the boat, that is, the dried tobacco leaves, all rolled one by one. It seems that the village has learned to exchange goods, they grow tobacco leaves, and then barter them with other Indian tribes.

The Indians on the shore did not panic too much about Hong Tao's three boats, which were obviously different from canoes, at least did not run, but made various cries with their mouths to summon their companions from the village. Soon, dozens of Indian men with pike darts and bows and arrows appeared on the bank of the river, and said a few words to the two leading parties, and then put the bows and arrows down, but they still did not relax their vigilance, and with a curious look, they kept looking at the people on the three boats.

The exchange process went smoothly, and Hong Tao used three short knives and a dagger to exchange for more than a dozen catties of sun-dried tobacco leaves and more than half a catty of tobacco seeds. Originally, Hong Tao wanted to change some more seeds, but after a long time, the other party seemed to mean that the seeds had been planted, and there were so many left, so let him come back when it rained heavily.

"Come on, you! Carl, let's go, let's go back, paddle together, hurry up, there are too many mosquitoes here......" The other party probably understood what Hong Tao meant, they may have just passed the sowing period, and they didn't leave so many rich tobacco seeds, so they let themselves come back when they harvest next summer.

I will definitely not have the kung fu to come next year, even if I don't come, this half a catty is enough. Let's run. If you don't go again, the Indians are not difficult for themselves. These mosquitoes have to eat themselves, too. It's also strange, why aren't those Indians afraid of mosquito bites, and mosquitoes rarely bite them, do they still have mosquito prevention skills? It's a pity that the language is not comprehensible, and the expression is too complicated to understand, so let's consider the matter of mosquito repellent later. Hong Tao had already thought about it, and when he left, he grabbed a few Indians and returned to Jinhewan, and waited for them to learn Chinese. You'll be able to tell yourself a lot of secrets, and you'll have an interpreter here in the future, how nice!

"What are these leaves you're holding? It seems to be very precious...... "The three dinghys went down the river, and soon returned to the anchorage of the Jinhe, and as soon as they got on the deck, Carl scratched the big bag on his face, and followed Hong Tao into the captain's room, wanting to see what Hong Tao had gained.

"This is a kind of medicinal herb, which specializes in treating lazy diseases that are idle...... "Hong Tao didn't want to tell Carl what it was now, and told him that he definitely had to learn to smoke. Smoking Hong Tao has no objection, but at the moment tobacco is so little. If you want to grow something new, it will take at least a little more than a year. That's more than ten pounds of tobacco. Do you say to him or not? If you give him what you don't have enough to smoke, it's too unrighteous not to give it to him, so it's better to get him, and I don't want to think about it if I don't know.

"And this medicine? Smells bad enough, who are you going to treat? Karl was suspicious, leaned in and smelled the tobacco, and immediately lost interest. People who have never smoked have a hard time liking this taste, especially unprocessed raw tobacco, which is very pungent.

"Give it to me...... I will be idle in the future......" Hong Tao pointed to his nose, this nonsense is a set, this cigarette will indeed be smoked by himself in the future, even if Carl knows, it will not be considered as a lie to him.

"It's tickling me to death just for this thing...... Will you cure these little bugs? Carl lost all interest and began to scratch the bag around his neck again, grinning in pain.

"It might be better to get some salt water to wash it, and then apply some mint......" This is Hong Tao's idea for Carl, who knows if it will work or not, he wants to send Carl away quickly, and then roll one by himself to have a good time.

"Then I'll go to the medic and ask him to get it for me, why don't you go with me?" Carl was finally ready to leave, and when he arrived at the door, he stopped again, wanting to beckon Hong Tao to go with him, and Hong Tao's face was also a big bag on the left and right, no less than him.

"I'm not afraid of this, look at that, I'm not itchy at all...... Talk to the chef, leave me some for dinner, I'm tired, sleep first, don't let people disturb me! "Even if it's itchy to death, Hong Tao won't scratch!

"Shhh...... Call...... Hey, hey, hey! I didn't expect it, buddy, I would be able to smoke Cuban cigars in the 13th century! Don't look at it, it's not rubbed out of the girl's thighs, but the taste is quite right, it's still green bean flavor, hahahaha...... The one in heaven, are you angry? Lao Tzu is a little strong who can't step on death, if you throw me the dinosaur era, I can also ride the dinosaur all over the earth! Come on, I'll spit on you and you can smell it, right...... Angry, huh? Why aren't you angry? I smirked...... I smirked...... "As soon as Carl went out on the front foot, Hong Tao started to act on the back foot. First cut off the edges of the tobacco leaves with a dagger, and then wrap the remaining scraps into it layer by layer along with the stems, which can not be wasted at all, it is not easy to come by, this Nima is not tobacco at all, but his own blood! Roll the tobacco leaves on the outside, lie down on the bed, and start to swallow the clouds.

Although the tobacco leaves are a little damp and not very regular, Hong Tao is already very satisfied, at least a cigarette, 100% pure smoke! I had to chant while pumping my mouth, and finally hummed a song, which was extremely proud and comfortable! As for why you have to lie down and smoke, this is the experience of old smokers, who do not smoke for a long time, and when you smoke violently, it is easy to get dizzy...... Lying down is just the right time to feel the taste of soaring clouds and fog, killing two birds with one stone!

With the first close contact with the Indians, and the major gains, this greatly encouraged Hong Tao's confidence, and he was obviously much more active in the next few days, and he didn't wait for Carl to harass him, and he pulled Carl into a dinghy and dragged him behind the Golden River to play trolling. All he had to do was bait, hook, and shout slogans, and after he got on the fish, Carl pulled up. At first, Carl was quite interested in this game, because most of the hooked fish were very ugly and weird, and they looked like space battleships, devil rays! It's abundant in the Gulf of Mexico. But it didn't take two days for him to react, this Nima is a tired silly boy, so he won't play!

"It's right if you don't play, if you don't tire you out, I'll be addicted to smoking!" Hong Tao is deliberate, if he goes fishing by himself, Carl will definitely follow, simply let him catch enough, and then every day Hong Tao can sit in the dinghy and be dragged by the big boat, while basking in the sun, fishing, and smoking cigars, cool!

"Dangdangdang...... Dangdang ...... "It's a pity that Hong Tao's life is not very good, and the cigar has just been lit without two sips, and the alarm bell on the Jinhe has sounded again." As the alarm bell sounded, the sailors on the Golden River began to pull the cable and tow Hong Tao's dinghy back. Hong Tao is really reluctant to smoke this freshly lit cigar, it is not easy to smoke after this thing is extinguished, and the best taste is to smoke it all at once.

"me! Load me with cannonballs, who is this, let people stop stopping! "Climbing onto the deck with a cigar in his mouth and turning over the small triangular eyes, Emperor Hong was a little anxious, and he didn't even take the binoculars, so he was about to give the order to prepare for battle.

"Didn't you take this medicine? Don't choke on so much smoke? Carl looked at Hong Tao with a finger-thick herbal stick in his mouth, and puffed out a puff of smoke from time to time, and was very puzzled.

"To cure the disease, you have to endure the choking! What about the ship? ”

"There is no boat, and the lookout says that there is a sea area ahead that is not quite right, and that you better go up and take a look. I don't know what it is, it's scary, I've never seen it before......," Karl pointed to the mast, a worried look on his face, and a hint of fear.

"Mosquitoes should bite you to death, the more you live, the more you twitch......" Hong Tao rarely saw Carl have this expression, but what is standing on the deck in the sea in front of him really can't be seen, just climb it, go up and take a look, be careful.

“…… How did you come across this...... Do you know what this is? Climbed onto the lookout, took the large telescope for the lookout, and glanced at the sea area directly in front of the Jinhe for a few times, Hong Tao put down the binoculars, with a solemn face, muttering in his mouth, and turned his head to stare at the lookout and asked.

“…… I don't know...... What is it? The lookout hand was already a little vague, so Hong Tao asked with a straight face, and his heart was even more bottomless, and he began to stutter when he spoke.

"Lowering the sails...... Stop the boat! This is the magic circle of the gods, specially punishing those sailors who blaspheme the gods, which shows that some people on our ship have lied to me, if you don't repent of your sins, this sea area is our cemetery, and you will never be able to get out if you sail in! Did you lie to me? Hong Tao's expression was very serious.

"No...... Not really! I ...... to God Does playing and stealing cards count? The lookout was really frightened, and just wanted to swear, but he didn't feel sure.

"Of course! Okay, I said that these days I always lose, who else stole it? Hurry up, it's too late, we're all going to die here! It is a capital crime to deceive the captain, and if you dare to deceive the emperor, you will have to punish the nine clans, what is the emperor? That's the gods, see, our relatives are not happy to see you bullying me, help me take revenge, they have a bad temper, I can't stop them! Hong Tao was very distressed, as if a catastrophe was coming.

Starting from the lookout hand and ending with Carl, under the bewitchment of Hong Tao, he took a small piece of paper to confess his sins. The specific method of repentance is to hand over the piece of paper full of his sins to Hong Tao, and he will cast a spell on the bow of the ship and burn it to the gods, even if he confesses to God, only in this way can he safely pass through the sea of sins in front of him. This is what Hong Tao said, and the lookout and Carl quickly believed it, because the sea ahead was indeed very terrifying......
