Chapter 5: Prisoners

The Rocky Mountains are the backbone of the Cordillera mountain system in North America and are known as the "backbone" of North America and are made up of many branches.

And the Olympic Mountains are one of them.

The Olympic Mountains are vast and densely vegetated, with their highest peaks at more than 2,500 meters above sea level.

Even in the 21st century in the United States, the establishment of Olympian National Park is still the largest pristine area in the United States outside of Alaska.

Of course, in 1863, this wild mountain has nothing to do with the name of the Greek origin.

Zhu Fugui watched the trees around him slowly retreat, and all kinds of beasts and birds in the forest hid themselves in a restrained manner, as a sign of respect for the great hunter.

Such a natural scenery, if it was in his previous life, even if he felt sorry for the ticket money, Zhu Fugui would feel a feast for his eyes.

But the problem is that at this moment, he appeared in this primeval forest as a prisoner.

To be exact, after being hit by an arrow in the buttocks, Zhu Fugui became a prisoner of the Indian female warrior.

Zhu Fugui also made a close observation before he determined that this murderous Indian was a young girl.

Her face was painted with a special red oil paint, and she couldn't see her face clearly, except for a pair of eyes as bright as the morning star.

Looking at the marching team, Zhu Fugui found that more than half of the more than 200 soldiers were women.

When you think about it, this is not surprising.

Throughout the mid-nineteenth century, the Indians in the Midwest of North America fought against white colonial aggression.

Due to the huge generational difference in weapons and organizational ability, such a rebellion is destined to be a tragedy as a moth to a fire.

The war ended in 1890 when the last Indian leaders, the "Sitting Cow" and the Sioux in Wounded Knee Valley, were all massacred by the U.S. government on suspicion of an uprising.

Since then, these true masters of the Americas have been kept in captivity by whites in all sorts of backwoods, in the aptly known "reservations," and there is no longer any way to organize a strong resistance.

In this magnificent history of resistance, many tribes of adult males as warriors fell to the guns of the invaders, and many tribes were forced to change their traditions and become matrilineal clans.

Professor Li Hui, a leading professor of molecular anthropology in China, once told this history in a public lecture.

Zhu Fugui, who was still a college student at the time, still remembered these contents although he was playing with his mobile phone.

It's just that when the people and things in the courseware appear in front of you vividly, everything becomes different.

Of course, Zhu Fugui was not in the mood to sympathize with these Indians.

Because his current status is a captive.

In addition to Zhu Fugui, more than 30 other Chinese laborers in the same mining area as him were also tied together by ropes and forced to move forward.

Speaking of which, Zhu Fugui was a blessing in disguise, because he lost his ability to act because he was hit by an arrow in his buttocks, so he was put on the back of a horse behind him by the leading girl.

Well, it turns out that Zhu Fugui's happiness was miscalculated.

As a trophy, of course, it was impossible for the girl to place Zhu Fugui vertically, but on the horse's back like a flour bag.

……

The stronghold of the Indians seemed extremely remote, carrying booty and captives, and there was no way to get there in a day.

When it got dark, they stopped and began to set up tents and simple fortifications.

Zhu Fugui was thrown to the ground, and the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart.

An older woman directs the people to start a fire and cook, while the Chinese workers are guarded by other warriors.

Zhu Fugui is also a member of the captives, but the girl who captives him seems to have a very high status, and even Zhu Fugui was taken into custody alone.

This made Zhu Fugui have a bad thought.

As we all know, in such mountainous areas, grain is in short supply.

This Indian tribe can send more than 200 warriors to attack the white man's mine at once, and the scale should not be too small.

But in any case, do they have a reason to waste food and raise thirty or forty more mouths for food for nothing?

This is obviously impossible.

Don't...... Waiting for oneself to be the food?

Zhu Fugui thought of this terrifying possibility.

Although the Indians of North America are not indigenous to the South Pacific, and they have not heard of the custom of cannibalism, they have changed their father's line to their mother's line, and it is very possible to change their recipes!

After all, even in China, a civilized country, there are countless records of cannibalism in history.

What to be afraid of, what to come.

Just when Zhu Fugui was crazy about his brain, he captured his girl and took it off the horse's neck.

It was the white man and his gypsy concubine.

The girl took the knife from her boot and looked at the human head with a slight hesitation.

After a while, the older woman, who had noticed the scene, shook her head and said something to the girl, and then snatched the knife and bent down to cut it neatly.

This scene made Zhu Fugui's scalp tingle.

Or is it my Ming method of calculating military merits......

Well, cutting ears seems to be about the same, fifty steps and a hundred steps.

Zhu Fugui shook his head.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that he had not yet tried the language translation function of the system.

The Indians did not speak any language.

There is a proverb in the Iroquois Tribal Confederation that says, "We don't speak the same language, but we understand each other."

This shows that within the Indians, the language is also quite complex, and it is even likely that it is the same as Zhejiang, with different pronunciations for ten miles.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui is not sure whether the system can deconstruct such a niche language.

However, it turns out that the world of hanging on the wall does not make sense.

When Zhu Fugui opened the language system, the words of the Indians immediately became vivid.

Although it is obviously still those syllables, Zhu Fugui can understand.

……

"Eagle, this is your first battle, you have shown bravery, and your dead father will be proud of you! But just now, you hesitated! ”

"I'm sorry, Aunt Bison, next time I won't be confused!"

"Well, my child, worthy of being the daughter of the mountain lion, you will surely lead us to the messenger of the sun and the moon and drive the damned invaders out of the mountains!"

"Auntie, that day will definitely come, Abba's soul will bless us, and our ancestors will bless us......"
