It was the night after the turtledove left the camp.

Everyone in the tribe enjoyed a grand dinner.

"Come, come, brothers, drink!"

Anderson's face was full of red light, carrying a wine bottle, shuttling through the crowd, and frequently raising glasses with several captains and laughing heartily!

"Parrot! Don't worry, I, Anderson, will never treat you badly in the future! Anderson said to the parrot.

"Haha! Thank you! The parrot replied laughing.

"And frogs, four-legged snakes!" Anderson said, "You are all my brothers! Come on, drink! ”

Outside the roaring campfire, people sang and danced and enjoyed Anderson's hospitality.

"Turtledove is a good man! But he just has a little bit," Anderson burped and said, "He's so proud!" It's so arrogant! He didn't even pay much attention to Lieutenant Big Tree! ”

"Yes!" The parrot chimed in, "He's not very respectful to Mr. Anderson either!" ”

"I don't care, I don't care!" Anderson patted his chest and said magnificently, "Let him touch the nails." When he touches a nail outside the mountain, he will naturally learn to be humble! ”

"Is Yamashita really messy?" The four-legged snake asked.

"Mess! You haven't been down the mountain, you don't know! Anderson gathered a few people together and said in a heartfelt manner, "Turtledove, you're still too young!" What can you do if you choose this time to go down the mountain? I can't see the situation clearly! It's not that I underestimate him, I'll just put the words here, and he will definitely come back in disgrace in the end! ”

"That'...... Shall we go and chase the chief back? The frog asked.

"Not really! It's okay! Anderson said, "Don't worry, he just needs to go to Lieutenant Big Tree for help, and Lieutenant Big Tree will help him!" ”

"That ......"

"It's okay, don't worry, everyone!" Anderson patted everyone on the shoulder and said, "Isn't there still me here?" ”

"Come, come, drink! Greyhound, pour me wine! ”

On this night, except for the smoking man who was in charge of the vigilance, everyone drank happily.

Anderson was especially pleased.

He was confident that in a while, this place would become the Anderson tribe!

……

There's a Buffalo bazaar at the foot of Monte Blanca!

It was the territory of the Apache people, and many tribes were accustomed to trading here. But in recent days, there have been more and more white people.

The market, which used to be held only once a month, is now held twice a month, in the middle of the month and at the end of the month.

The bazaar sells all sorts of strange things, such as half a sheep, a deformed tree root, a charred futon, and so on.

But there are basically no bulk goods, and there is little money in circulation, and people prefer to believe in barter.

The bazaar is not large, and it took the turtledove and his party less than half an hour to walk through it all.

Eventually, they came to a living market.

Here, the population, like cattle and horses, is kept in cages and prices are clearly marked.

"Turtledove, do you want to buy a slave?" Giant Hard asked.

Turtledove shook his head. "Look, it's just curious!"

In front of them, a group of blacks were stuffed in cages and sold by cages.

There are about five in a cage and they cost $100, with an average of $20 each.

But if you buy it individually, it will be more expensive, costing $25 each.

There was also a cage with Indians for a cheaper price of $15 each. If you buy more, you can naturally get a discount.

The price is not as good as a horse.

"This is so unreasonable!" Peso said.

Yes, it's unreasonable!

This is the territory of the Indians, but the Indians are used as slaves and sold openly in the market!

The turtledove didn't stare at the pot-bellied white slave owner, lest it cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

It's full of Indians, but it's a white-dominated world.

"If an Indian scalp is worth $100, why should an Indian slave sell for $15?" Giant Hard asked.

"Not everyone knows how to peel the skin!" Peso explained for him. "Moreover, it also needs to be oiled, air-dried, nitrated, compacted, and printed...... It's troublesome! ”

"How do you know this?" Giant hard asked strangely.

Peso smiled and said lightly, "I saw ...... when they caught my dad."

The turtledove looked at it for a while, and then beckoned a few people to leave.

As he was about to walk out of the bazaar, he suddenly turned around and walked briskly towards the slave market.

"Turtledove! Turtle dove! What are you doing? The giant shouted loudly.

"You stand here and don't move!" The turtledove shouted without looking back: "I'll come back when I go!" ”

The turtledove returned to the live market, pointed to a dry child in the cage and asked, "How does he sell it?" ”

The child clutched the cage and looked at the turtledove with stunned eyes.

Just now, as the turtledove's gaze swept across his face, he lowered his head in shame.

He didn't say anything, and he didn't make any superfluous movements.

However, the look of shame as a slave pierced the turtledove's heart like a wooden thorn.

Even if the turtledove walked out of the bazaar ruthlessly, he can't forget it.

He can't change everyone's fate, but he can change at least one!

Even one is better than doing nothing!

The pot-bellied white man didn't move at all, and an Indian servant next to him walked up and poked the dry little child in the cage with a stick.

"Stand tall and show the customer!" The Indian servant yelled impatiently into the cage.

Then he turned around and faced the turtledove, "$15!" ”

"Can it be cheaper?" Turtledove asked.

"Cheap? How else do you want to be cheaper? The butler sneered and said, "You are an Indian, you can afford it, don't waste my time!" ”

The turtledove was a little speechless: he is also an Indian, and this housekeeper really thinks that he is one level taller than himself when he falls on the thigh of a white man?

But the turtledove didn't say much, silently took out 13 dollars from his pocket, put on 6 pesos, and handed it to the Indian butler.

The Indian butler held out two fingers and took the pile of zero tickets from the turtledove's hand with some disgust.

After the money arrived in his hand, he didn't dislike it at all, and counted them one by one.

Then he opened the cage through a small slit and lifted the hook in his hand to hook the collar around the neck of the dry child, hooking it out of the cage.

The child's hands were also tied, and a rope was dragged to the ground.

The butler handed the rope to the turtledove and said, "He's yours!" ”

The turtledove took the rope.

It was like leading a sheep and taking the child away.

"What's your name?" Turtledove asked him.

He bowed his head in shame, as if he didn't hear the turtledove's question.

……

"Peso, you stay for a moment, show me where the slave owner is going later!"

"Okay, turtledove!" Peso happily replied. "Shall we do them with this vote?"

"Just them!" Turtledove said.
