Little Andre's answer was like a lightning bolt crackling on the turtledove's heart lake.

What kind of experience and tribulation should have made such a young Sioux child have the idea of making the Sioux people strong?

But they were so naïve that they thought that the jobs they had learned to make clothes, embroidery, and coffins would be the weapons that would make the Sioux strong in the future.

The turtledove stood quietly for a while, then walked back to the podium, silently writing a line on the blackboard: "What am I reading for?" ”

Of course, he wrote in English.

The language of the Indians was fragmented, and even the Sioux people, who were most inclined to unity, did not form a unified script of their own. Although the Lakota, Nakota, and Dakota belong to the same language family, their language is as incompatible as Shandong, Northern Jiangsu, and Cantonese!

Ikaruga wanted to unify the language of the Indians, but he couldn't do it yet.

And he also felt that there was no need to make the Indians extremely xenophobic Boxers. A sad but unacceptable reality for the Indians is that it is now the 19th century!

The Indians may have had a civilized inheritance from their ancestors, but now, it has been discontinued. To start anew and develop a set of so-called 'national scripts' is tantamount to reinventing a wheel – to carry out the first handicraft revolution?

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

For the current Indians, survival is the first need.

The children in the classroom, separated from their tribe since childhood, may not be able to speak their own language, but they know almost all of them English.

Language is not an evil tool.

It is only the human heart that is evil.

And is it shameful to speak English?

Shame on you, right? Doesn't that big country in South Asia, which aspires to be the world's best in the future, also speak English?

"My name is Turtledove! Well, henceforth, the principal of this school! Turtledove finally figured out what he could say.

"See this line on the blackboard? With this as the title, everyone writes me a 500-word essay, and by next Saturday, Andrey, you will collect everyone's homework and hand it in to my office! Turtledove said.

With that, he stepped off the podium.

On this podium, he always felt cramped and uneasy.

The dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him sparkled like a fire.

He would rather deal with thousands of enemies than with these dozens of pairs of sparkling eyes.

When he reached the door, he turned back to the classroom and said:

"You will no longer have to learn how to weave or carpenter or to nail buttons or make clothes, and no one will force you to do any more of these labors."

"It's okay if you don't have books yet, I'll be able to find them for you soon."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a teacher, I'll be able to find a teacher for you soon, a real teacher!"

After saying this, the turtledove rushed out of the classroom as if fleeing.

Peso and Giant followed him closely, and saw that the turtledove's back was soaked with sweat.

……

After escaping the classroom that had left him at a loss, and returning to his office, Ikadove felt that he was calm again.

He thought he would try not to go to the classroom again in the future.

Fortunately, not many people have seen today's scene, otherwise, it will destroy my image that I have always been confident in.

Pick up the revolver in the drawer and fiddle with it a few times. The smell of gunpowder and butter calmed him down.

"Red Cloud still hasn't come back, has it?" Turtledove asked.

It's been three days since Red Cloud left.

On that day, this young man with strong blood patted his chest, saying that he wanted to bring his father to see the turtledove within three days, and it seemed that the young man was really unreliable!

Negotiations with the Oglara tribe are imperative, and Ikaruga thinks that if Red Cloud can't do it, then he will have to rely on himself.

Go to the door with the Tonatyus legion and negotiate in the Indian way!

"He came up the mountain in the middle of the night," replied the peso, "and I saw you sleeping at that time, so I didn't disturb you." I was going to tell you about it early this morning, but I didn't have time yet. ”

"Oh?" The turtledove sat up. Hongyun, this young man, is he still reliable? He ...... Did he really bring his father? ”

"No, he came up the mountain alone." There was something strange in Peso's eyes.

Turtledove was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Turtledove, you can go and see for yourself, and you'll know." The peso actually sold a pass.

Turtledove thought for a moment, "Lead the way!" ”

So, led by Biso, Turtledove met Red Cloud in the stables on the side of the school.

Red Cloud was wrapped in ropes and sat alone in the straw pile in the stable.

Seeing the turtledove, he sighed at first, and then turned away in shame.

"Red clouds? How did you...... Is this so? The turtledove was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the rope of the red cloud himself. While complaining about the peso, "Who did this?" How can this be? ”

"Turtledove, don't blame them, I tied them myself!" Hongyun broke away from the turtledove's hands, moved his ass and twisted to the side, turned his back to the turtledove, and said angrily: "It's me who broke his promise, my father said that he wouldn't come up the mountain with me!" I don't have the face to see you anymore, anyway, I'll tie myself up here, you can watch it! ”

The turtledove was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly.

hurriedly took two more steps forward, walked directly opposite Hongyun, and said with a serious face: "Hongyun, are you doing this to put my turtledove in an unkind and unrighteous place?" Your father was a respected elder, and he didn't come up to see me on the mountain, so he naturally had a reason. If he doesn't come to see me, I'll just go see him! If you do this, what will others think of me after it gets out? ”

"I'm ......," Hongyun looked up, glanced at the turtledove, and lowered his head in shame.

So the turtledove untied the rope for him, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, Red Cloud!" We are brothers, how can I blame you for this? Come on, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? You go clean up first, I'll arrange a room for you on the mountain, you can sleep well and rest first! ”

"But, turtledove!" Red Cloud said guiltily, "You can't stay here without the consent of the Seven-Colored Flame Council......

"yes, I know." "Don't worry," said the turtledove, "I'll go talk to your father." ”

Turtledove talked badly, and finally persuaded Hongyun, a guilt-ridden young man, to leave the stable.

The negotiation with the Oglara tribe was originally due to the threading of the red cloud, so the turtledove felt that the difficulty had changed from 'difficult' to 'easy' mode.

Now it seems that this task is still at the 'hard' level.

Not long after returning to his office from Red Cloud's room, Ikaruga called for a waterwheel.

"The old chief of the Oglara tribe, still don't want to see me?"

"Yes."

"What did he say?" Turtledove asked.

"The old chief says that he respects your choice and has the highest respect for you and your warriors. However, his tribe has been adrift for a long time and is fragmented, and I am afraid that it will not be able to help you in any way. Rather than parting unhappily after meeting, it is better to be okay and let fate arrange it. ”

Turtledove listened and nodded.

In fact, everyone in the world is the same, but as long as there is a place to live, who really wants to be afraid to do the business of killing heads?

"Send another man to send a letter to the chief of the Oglara tribe, saying that his son is with us, and that I wish to speak with him!"
