The strange native with a group of dogs had a good conversation with the leader of the guards, and after a while he continued into the interior of Blackfoot Village, where many people greeted him, and it seemed that this person was an acquaintance in Blackfoot Village.

Andy looked at the large group of dogs led by the man from afar, these dogs should be professional war dogs, then he should have only one purpose when he came to Blackfoot Village, which was to sell these dogs to Blackfoot. He had seen a few similar dogs in Blackfoot Village before, and now it seemed likely that they were from trade with the natives.

Before the leader of the guards returned to the security booth, he hurriedly ran over to cut off his beard.

"Hey, wait a minute, brother, remember me?"

The guard glanced back at Andy and straightened out the feather ornament on his head.

"Oh.... It's you, an outsider, looking for something about me, do you want to leave? If you want to go, I'll have to check if there's anything extra on you that you're going to take with you. ”

Andy waved his hand.

"No, no, I'm going to stay here for a while, it's ..... I want to ask you, what is it like to be a guard? ”

The other party showed a slightly tired expression.

"How do you feel? What an interesting question you are asking, it's like a bird in a cage and a brahmin chained to a millstone.... How do you think this can feel? We can't join the hunting party, we can't go around, we can't even take our eyes off the horizon for a while, where there's never anything worth noting, what does it feel like? ”

He sat down in a chair and began to service his iron tube rifle.

Andy saw that things were exactly as Corhoti said, and quickly followed up.

"Hmm... Actually, I'm here to help you, you know, I know a lot of good ways to help you get rid of your loneliness and boredom, and these are really perfect for you, you don't have to concentrate too much or leave your job, it's very simple, you can even do it without looking away, and most importantly, it's really fun. ”

Hearing this, the guard couldn't help but feel shocked, and quickly stood up and asked for details.

"Are you serious? Then tell me quickly, and we'll all thank you if what you're saying is really interesting. ”

Andy's eyes rolled as he thought that the people of the Blackfoot tribe seemed to be power-worshipping, so there was a little game that didn't require tools, no space, and no eyes to stare at that angle.

"Do you know thumb wrestling?"

The guard shook his head, confused.

"What do you mean? I know wrestling, but that kind of game is simply impossible to play while we are standing guard, and what does the thumb mean? How can thumbs wrestle? ”

As soon as Andy heard that there was a play, he hurriedly borrowed the slope and got off the donkey.

"The thumb can also be wrestled.... I'll teach you the rules and methods, first of all, this game requires two people to complete..."

He came to the guard and held out his right hand.

"Give me your right hand."

The guard didn't understand what Andy meant, he just reached out and watched as Andy hooked the four fingers of his right hand with the guard's four fingers, but the thumb didn't hook.

"Okay, that's it, it's easy, isn't it? You don't need anything extra and no space, you just need two hands from two people. ”

The guard tugged blankly.

"And after that? What are we going to do? ”

Andy pointed to the two of them with dangling thumbs.

"In this game, two people need to hook each other's four fingers tightly together except for their thumbs, and the thumbs need to clasp each other's thumbs as quickly as possible. The game has a time limit of 60 seconds, and if the two sides haven't decided the winner after the time, you'll have to start over. ”

After that, Andy's thumb immediately stretched out and tried to hold down the guard's thumb, but he reacted quickly, and after listening to Andy's explanation, he already understood the rules of this little game, so he immediately dodged Andy's press.

"Hey, I see."

So the thumbs of the two people go back and forth, sometimes chasing, sometimes smashing, sometimes dodging, sometimes breaking free, and finally Andy grabbed a flaw caused by the fatigue of the other party's fingers, and suddenly clasped the guard's fingers, no matter how he struggled, it was meaningless.

"One, two, three, four.... I won thumb wrestling. ”

Andy watched as the guard said this, then let go of the other's hand.

The guard smiled, as if he was still a little unsatisfied.

"This little game of yours is very interesting, we have never thought of this kind of play, so I will ask the others to learn it together."

With that, he climbed to the observation position on the fence and explained the gameplay of the mini-game to a few of the guards. The rules of this game are simple and easy to understand, no additional items or extra referees are required, and a game is limited to one minute, so it doesn't take up much time anyway.

More importantly, the game shows the strength and agility of two people, and having their thumbs held down by the other party also has a bit of dignity and humiliation, which leads to the fact that the other guards soon have the desire to win and understand the rules of the game after a few defeats.

"Hey, one-two-three-four, I won thumb wrestling!"

Once again, the guards won and laughed.

Some of the Blackfoot tribesmen who passed by also noticed this interesting thing and stopped to watch, and after watching for a while, they also learned this little game and began to compete with others on the spot.

After only a few days, many people knew that a simple game was now popular in Blackfoot Village, and that the inventor of this little game was an outsider named Andy, who had just arrived in the village.

[Hint: Blackfoot Village's reputation has risen slightly]

Andy glanced at the beep-boy prompt and thought that the action was still meaningful, but it was still far from his intended goal.

So on this day, Andy came to the security booth again.

"You're here again, the little game you told us about before is now very much enjoyed by everyone, but it's going to get a little tired after a long time, do you have anything else fun to teach us?"

The feather-adorned blackfoot guard had already gotten to know Andy and smiled at him from afar.

"Oh... Of course, I would like to ask you if you are literate? ”

"Literacy?"

The Blackfoot Guard was stunned, apparently illiterate.

"I can't read, we have to learn archery and swordsmanship as guards, we have to learn to use this gun, and we have to learn to reconnoiter the enemy.... But we don't need to be literate. ”

Andy thought to himself, "Oh it over, this is still a bunch of illiterates."

"Are any of you guards literate?"

The other person scratched his head and looked up to ask the others.

"Hey! Do any of you be literate? ”

The other three were silent for a moment, and one raised his hand.
