January 1903: We came to the reserve near Oaklev Pond in the east of Griezley, which, though a little further north than the Cumberland woods, sometimes erupted from large holes in the ground with hot steam and depressions forming large and small hot springs, and the climate of the reservation was comparable to that of the south. It was inhabited by a number of Indian women and children, as well as a handful of men led by Chief Papiti, who spent their days running around for the tribe's livelihood, and sleeping was their only pastime.

It's been a long time since John had enjoyed such a good morning, and every day for the first few months he had either checked the cold of his members or sentry with a heavy gun, and now he finally had time to empty his mind and think of something empty but interesting.

John closed his notebook after taking his diary for the day, and as he thought about planning for the day, he saw Grimes come over with a thick book, a habit she had only recently developed.

"Hey! John, do you know what Catherine called this place? Coulter Village, which doesn't snow, I think she probably fell in love with this place. ”

"I'm glad to see the sun on your faces, we're next to the Indian tribe, have you made any new friends?"

"I didn't ...... But I tried, but every time the red-skinned ladies and ladies turned around and chirped, I didn't understand them at all. ”

At this time, Bibo walked over with a large bag on his back, "Hey! Gremes, let's go hunting. ”

"What's in the bag?" John asked.

"Just some futon and carpet...... I think you get the idea, sir. Bibo said hesitantly.

"There are some things that can be left to young people to do, pedantic busyness is always reserved for people like us." Thomas said meaningfully, "The Indian gluttonous lion has something to ask you for, and since you have not yet met officially, it is up to me to convey his will." ”

"Where is he now, I'll go find him."

"It's in the woods around the camp."

As he was squatting and staring intently ahead, as if practicing meditation, John called him a few times but did not reply, and after a while a sentence floated out of his mouth: "This is a quiet camp, and tranquility often makes people let their guard down, ignore the signs of danger and let it develop, and now the threat has begun to take shape......"

"Gluttonous lion!" John raised his voice.

"Mr. Coster." It was as if she had woken up from her vision, "I'm a little fascinated. ”

"I don't know if I should call you by your name or ...... Calling you Mr. Virga, I think you should value your title. ”

"Like a glutton? It's not a very flattering name, but it does serve as a wake-up call. ”

"I heard you have something to do with me, is that true?"

Sai Luoxi nodded: "Father has always been very xenophobic, and he can open his heart to you, which shows that you are indeed not ordinary white people, and I can't say anything as a son, but to really win my trust, you must come up with something genuine." ”

"I don't think you're here to ask for our food or bullets."

"Of course not, I'd like to invite the famous John Coaster to clear out a threat, do you have any experience hunting any large beasts?"

John bit his lip and nodded.

"Yay! Recently there have been rumors of a legendary mountain lion migrating to this area, and although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I can imagine that it is an extremely ferocious beast. ”

"Wait a minute...... You want me to kill a lion just to prove our strength. ”

Snort snorted, "Killing a beast is a great feat in Indian customs, and it means that everyone's attitude towards you will change as a result, even if you are a foreigner. ”

"I just need your father's trust." John said, though he knew that saying so might anger Sylos.

As calm as ever, Sai Luoxi said: "But I must seize this opportunity to establish my prestige. ”

"You?"

"My father is old, and I believe it won't be long before he will be embarrassed, and there are two options for succession to the chieftaincy - me and Ahnlube, and my father has been very partial to Anluber lately, and I must come up with something to change his mind."

"Your brother, that diplomat, really can't see that you still have a rivalry."

"The older you get, the more stupid you get, my father gave birth to an Irish woman two years after I was born, gave birth to my brother as an alien, and in the past few years he has been stumbling with white people everywhere, longing for those exterminating bastards to save our tribe. Everything Anluber did was to curry favor with him and at the same time exclude me, and I don't want to see a cowardly leader of our clan in the future. ”

"I can't take care of your family affairs, for me, your father's acceptance is enough."

"Mr. Coaster, to put it mildly, you are too short-sighted. If Anlubo takes over his father's position, he will kick you away like a burden, and even tell you to some white man who is in politics, in his eyes there is no life-saving grace, only profit first. And I'm ......"

John made a decision in his heart, so he raised his hand to interrupt Sailoxi: "For your sake, I agree, do we still need manpower?" ”

"Thanks! Sir, I will remember your decision today, it is a bit difficult for two people to subdue the mountain lion, but three people are enough. ”

"If you've heard of John Coaster, then you should know Miller Jedsand, he's a sharpshooter of my ability, and even more so my brother."

"Hunting an animal doesn't just require gunskills, we may need some bait...... I don't know. Selosi closed her eyes.
