The place where Zhao Hongyu and the four of them stayed at this time was a vast plain area. In front of their vision, a dense forest loomed in sight.

In order to rest, Song Hu dug a pit in the snow to hide from the wind and snow.

Therefore, the four of them, if they don't pay attention, they won't be discovered at all.

Just because they won't be discovered, doesn't mean they won't be discovered.

Song Hu, who was in charge of vigilance, made a discovery at this time.

"There's movement!"

After Song Hu reported in a low voice, he quickly took the cross axe on the outside of his thigh and the machete behind his back in his hand, and then exposed half of his head and stared at the front tightly.

With Song Hu's warning, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie crawled out of the snow pit, slowly crawled to a short distance, and lurked down, while slowly covering themselves with snow.

Zhao Hongyu also became nervous, he also carried the machete behind his back in his hand, and slowly exposed his head and looked in the direction of Song Hu's gaze.

"Probably not, Indians generally don't come out in winter, which makes no sense." Thinking of a book written by Europeans about the period of colonizing the American continent, Zhao Hongyu muttered in his heart.

In that book, the author makes it clear that the Indians had no way to make clothes that could withstand the cold because of their productivity, so they stayed in their tents in their camps every winter to reduce the amount of calories they burned outside.

And winter, for the colonists, is also a great news.

Because, the Indians will not show up in winter, and their safety will not have anything to worry about.

For the colonists, what they feared most was the days from spring to autumn, when the Indians could move freely.

Because from 1492 onwards, the relationship between the Indians and the European settlers was not very good.

Killings are even more commonplace.

Anyway, it's either you who kill me, or I'll kill you.

Before the 18th century, there was not much difference in the armed forces of Indians and European settlers.

The Indians were outnumbered, while the Europeans were superior to arquebuses and advanced weapons.

But in general, it was the Indians who pressed the Europeans.

It's just a pity that the Indians themselves were infighting, and the Europeans took advantage of this, which eventually led to their slow demise.

It was even written in that book that Indian tribes had banded together to destroy more than 50 of the eighty-eight British settlements on the American continent in a single summer, to the horror of Europeans.

This is a real example of what happened in the second half of the 17th century.

So, it cannot be said that the Indians are not strong.

The Indians of North America were much more courageous and bloodier than the Incas of Central America.

Of course, as the Indians themselves were instigated by the Europeans to fight each other. Europe had an industrial revolution and a great improvement in science and technology.

More powerful weapons appeared, and the Indians fell.

In any case, at this time in the seventeenth century (1600 --- 1699), Europeans were still afraid of the Indians. Even in the spring, when the snow melts, Europeans in every settlement are terrified.

The phrase 'Indian Summer' is a reminder from the old folks of the American settlements to every newcomer.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu was very strange, what did Song Hu find.

Maybe...... It's not necessarily a beast.

Following Song Hu's gaze, on the snow-covered plains, two young Indians dressed in animal skins with two feathers on their heads were rounding up a coyote.

Waist-deep in the snow, the coyote's movement was also restricted, and at this moment it had been hit by several arrows in its body, and it was about to collapse due to physical exhaustion. …,

However, the instinct of survival drove it to continue to run forward.

And two young Indians were also in hot pursuit behind the coyotes.

The direction in which the coyote fled was exactly the direction in which Zhao Hongyu and the others were resting.

"No, is that book wrong? Isn't it true that the Indians shouldn't come out in winter, and the Indian tribes I met along the way were all in tents set up to keep warm. ”

Looking at the two Indian youths chasing after the coyote, Zhao Hongyu muttered to himself in his heart.

The coyote was exhausted, the pain on its body made it impossible to support it, and the continuous flow of blood had brought its life to an end.

As if knowing that his life was about to end, the coyote grinned and turned around to fight hard.

However, it was clear to the two young Indians that they would not let the coyotes succeed.

Sou!

Another arrow accurately shot into the coyote's throat, and the powerful inertia brought the coyote to the snow pit where Zhao Hongyu was resting.

The two young Indians walked over with a relaxed face, and the coyotes that had fallen would no longer be in any danger.

As long as two Indian youths came over, then they would definitely find Zhao Hongyu and Song Hu.

Will there be misunderstandings and conflicts in the event of a sudden?

"You belong to that tribe, don't get me wrong! We're just passers-by! ”

At the end, Zhao Hongyu, who really had no choice, could only squat in the snow pit and shouted loudly in Indian.

The sudden sound really scared the two young Indians. The two of them jumped away for some distance, and at the same time spread their bows and arrows, and looked around nervously.

Whoa!

Before they could make any discoveries, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie jumped up from the snow and controlled them from behind.

The cold, inferior iron dagger was pressed against his throat, and even a fool knew what he was going to do now.

And when Wang Shan and Zhang Tie controlled the two Indians, Song Huhe quickly jumped out of the snow pit and came to the two Indian youths, quickly unloaded their bows and arrows and axes on their waists and threw them aside.

After there was no threat at all, Zhao Hongyu crawled out of the snow pit.

"We didn't mean anything, we just did it so as not to cause a necessary misunderstanding."

Walking in front of the two Indian youths and standing still, Zhao Hongyu said to them very sincerely in Indian language, and at the same time he waved his hand to let Zhang Tie and Wang Shan let go of the two Indian youths.

Yiyan let go of the two guys, but Zhang Tie and Wang Shan still stood behind them vigilantly and watched them, not relaxing at all.

Although the two of them were let go, the eyes of the two Indian youths were still full of anger, hatred and fear.

"We are a tribe from the north, our tribe was attacked by the Moklay tribe, and I was separated from my tribe ......", Zhao Hongyu came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't have to fight the draft.

He was attacked by the Moklay tribe and was told by the French.

And as he spoke, the expressions of the two young men slowly became less nervous.

……

……

Atido, Ruzba, are the names of these two Indian youths, and after some explanations and overtures by Zhao Hongyu, they have now become friends.

The two young Indians were also not very old, one was nineteen years old and the other was twenty-four.

Although Zhao Hongyu's appearance is somewhat special, he is not a 'white skin' after all. At the same time, he was able to speak the Indian language fluently, which was enough to gain the little trust of two young Indians.

Especially after Zhao Hongyu took out a box of matches and demonstrated it, and then gave each of them a box, the two Indian youths immediately regarded Zhao Hongyu as a brother. …,

"Originally, we wouldn't have come out in this cold winter. But my father was sick, and he was still very sick. The sorcerer in the tribe said that if I could have the heart of a coyote, maybe my father would be fine. ”

Atido, a young Indian with a sad face, told the reason why he and Ruzba went out to hunt wolves in the winter.

In fact, the book Zhao Hongyu read said well, the Indians really won't come out in winter, because the weather is too cold.

Although they have fur sewn clothes, can they be called clothes?

Inferior handiwork is just a few pieces of fur put together on the body, and it is impossible to keep out the cold at all.

Atido's face was frozen purple, which made Zhao Hongyu have to sigh that the Indians of this era are really frost-resistant.

Led by two Indian youths, Zhao Hongyu and the four of them came to their tribe.

And Zhao Hongyu also knew the names of the tribes to which the two young men belonged...... Mohican!

When Zhao Hongyu knew the name of this tribe, he couldn't help but feel excited.

He knew that he might well have been near New York by now. Because the Mohican tribe is inhabited on the left plain of Manhattan Island, New York.

How could Zhao Hongyu know so much, this is also due to the fact that when he was sent to the United States by the company, one of his colleagues was an Indian.

So, from his colleagues, he learned a lot about Indian history.

Atido led Zhao Hongyu into the center of the tribe and came to a triangular tent with the largest and tallest.

"Please come in with me, brother from afar, just please be quiet, my father is not doing very well now."

Atido walked to the tent, lifted the fur curtain and gestured, and then reminded.

Zhao Hongyu nodded, and walked in behind Atido.

Not! What a big taste!

As soon as he entered the tent, Zhao Hongyu was smoked by the sour smell.

In these years, the sanitary situation of the Indians is really unacceptable.

After entering, Atido chatted for a while with a man with a thick 'oil paint' on his face, and then handed him the coyote he had brought back.

Then, Atido pointed at Zhao Hongyu and the four of them, and then motioned for Zhao Hongyu and them to go over.

Zhao Hongyu knew that that person might be a wizard.

"Friends from afar, welcome to the Moxigan tribe."

The wizard lowered his head and whispered in the ear of the old patriarch who couldn't open his eyes, and the old patriarch reluctantly said hello.

Then, Atido took Zhao Hongyu and them to the side, watching the wizard treat the patriarch.
