Chapter 264 [Three People]
Holding a machete and walking all the way to the high ground, in fact, Hu Xiaodao didn't have a bottom in his heart, because theoretically if there is a tribe here, then there must be a greater chance of being under the mountain, and the habit of people here is to rely on water to establish a place to live.
After more than ten minutes, Hu Xiaodao stopped his footsteps, looked up at the halfway up the mountain, and at this moment he had come to the blind spot when he went down the mountain.
While looking at the compass and walking forward, Hu Xiaodao walked quite slowly, and the farther away from the mountain, the higher the density of the forest.
However, fortunately, the density of weeds has decreased, and the weeds that are more than two meters tall have gradually recovered to a height of tens of centimeters or even twenty or thirty centimeters, but there are still thorns.
Nearly an hour later, Hu Xiaodao completely stopped!
Although the jungle was dense in front of him, it was no different from other places, but Hu Xiaodao found small mounds with rectangular stones standing in front of them.
Not only that, but the most important thing is that the dense perimeter of the mound is connected between the trees by ropes, and the trees are tied with triangular pieces of colored cloth, which seems to have the same meaning as a wall.
Hu Xiaodao tore off a piece of cloth and took it in his hand to observe it carefully, judging from the degree to which the color has been weathered, this piece of cloth will definitely not last more than three years - there are people here!
Just as he was thinking, an ancient chant suddenly sounded from the jungle opposite.
“¥#*&¥&¥”
I don't understand what Hu Xiaodao sings, but judging by the way the syllables are spoken, this is a very old language, with a very long vocal range, and it is not as simple as speaking now.
In the sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low-pitched chanting, Hu Xiaodao felt the greatness of a nation and was also full of great interest in this mysterious prayer.
As the sound got closer and closer, Hu Xiaodao's mood became more and more excited, and he retreated into the deep forest, took out his binoculars and carefully stared at the source of the sound.
There are still many tribes in South America that are not exposed to the modern world, and they still follow ancient habits and unique ways of worship.
However, as for the question of whether to eat or not to eat people, it depends on luck, generally speaking, the tribal system is very aggressive and xenophobic, whether you are here to observe or deeply understand, you have to see first.
Finally, four people carrying a similar sliding rod appeared carrying a man covered in animal skin and bones, the figure on the sliding rod was muscular, and although the body was fat, it seemed to be extremely powerful, unlike the fatness of modern people.
His eyes were slightly closed, his face was covered with oil paint, his body was covered with tattoos, and he had fur made of animal bones and feathers, which at first glance looked similar to that of an Indian, but in fact there was an essential difference.
Most of the feathers on the heads of the Indians were taller, while the feathers on his head were shorter, and seemed to be decorated only for the sake of beauty, not for the sake of honor!
Behind the pole, two groups of people followed slowly, and as the notes of the chant rose and fell, everyone knelt and sometimes stood, all of them looking extremely religious.
Hu Xiaodao also noticed that the group of people were all between 14 and 45 years old, and all of them were male, not a single woman.
After hundreds of people appeared one after another, a coffin carried by sixteen people appeared.
It is said to be a coffin, but it is actually a large tree that has been refitted, but the outside of the tree is full of flowers and various animal bones, and it seems that the people inside seem to have a very high identity.
When the person carrying the sliding rod turned around, Hu Xiaodao found that the sliding rod was followed by an old man on foot, looking like a sacrificial dress.
Hu Xiaodao hurriedly looked at the old man's chest and hands, which could only be empty, and he did not have the scepter in his hand and the gold medal on his chest as he imagined, so it was not easy to be sure that this tribe was built for mountain engineering.
Anyway, there is time, let's see what they do first, if you can meet the aborigines buried here, it is a great event, and Hu Xiaodao can boast again.
However, the live broadcaster has not been turned on, because there are many things that cannot be shown to ordinary people, so let's wait until we find something suitable.
I saw that the speed of the team stopped after turning, and Hu Xiaodao stood on tiptoe a little to find that there was a space there that seemed to be buried alone, and the spacing of the mounds was very large, not as dense as those on both sides.
But not long after Hu Xiaodao squatted here, he heard two slight "clicks" from his right, although they were faintly audible, Hu Xiaodao immediately prostrated down, and put back the telescope and took out the machete.
Slowly creeping forward, fortunately, those mounds are relatively dense, and the natives should not be able to see themselves, and now Hu Xiaodao wants to confirm what is not far away.
Whether it was the sound of a tree branch breaking or something else.
Slowly crawling over and parting the grass, Hu Xiaodao looked carefully, and it turned out to be three white people, two men and one woman, one man was very old, almost sixty years old.
The two young men, who looked to be in their twenties, were taking pictures and seemed excited, except for the old man who hunched over and reached out to hold their bodies from time to time to prevent them from being exposed.
Hu Xiaodao thought about it, these three people didn't seem to have weapons on them, they might have come to archaeology, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, they found this place, or it was better to contact them.
Having made up his mind, Hu Xiaodao slowly crawled over, stopped more than ten meters away from the three of them, and made a sound from the weeds.
Sure enough, when the three of them heard the sound, they immediately squatted down and looked around, until they saw Hu Xiaodao.
Hu Xiaodao put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture, beckoned to the three of them, and crawled to the east.
The three of them also bent their waists and retreated with Hu Xiaodao.
Ten minutes later, the group of four finally met at the mountain pass, and Hu Xiaodao first stretched out his hand and said in English: "My name is Hu Xiaodao, from Huaguo, explorer!" ”
The old man pushed his glasses, stretched out his hand, shook it, and said, "My name is Hudson, I am a researcher at the National Museum of the United States, and both of them are my students, the male is called Giles, and the female is called Jennifer." ”
Hu Xiaodao nodded slightly, and stepped forward to shake hands with the two, when shaking hands with Jennifer, Jennifer looked at herself with admiration, as if she was a mysterious explorer in the East who was very popular with white girls.
And Giles looked down on this yellow-skinned Asian who suddenly appeared, in his eyes, Asians only brush their teeth once a day, some don't even brush their teeth, they eat animal offal, they eat dog meat, they eat disgusting reptiles, and they don't even believe in God!
The Asians who combine these bad problems with each other, Giles is disgusted in his heart, but in front of the professor and the beautiful Jennifer, he can't lose his manners, and he still has to be reconciled with these lowly races.
