Chapter 255: Aboriginal People in the Mountains
"Finally I found you." Looking at the deer in front of him, Jiang Hai couldn't help but laugh. These were the guys he was looking for.
At that moment, he also unhooked the gun he had been carrying on his back and put the crosshairs on the deer in front of him.
Deer antlers actually refer to antlers, but antlers are also divided into three, six or nine grades. It is not that bigger or thicker is better.
Male deer's antlers get larger as they age, and the same goes for white-tailed deer.
Deer antlers are useful for collecting and fighting, but they are of little use for deer antlers.
The best age for deer antlers is between three and six years old. Generally speaking, those between two and three years old are also good.
Therefore, Jiang Hai's target this time is those half-grown male deer. No one will care about male deer of this age group.
Soon, Jiang Hai aimed at a male deer with antlers about ten centimeters high. The aug in his hand slowly stabilized with the rise and fall of his breathing.
But just when he was ready to shoot, the deer in front of him suddenly became alert. Almost in two breaths, they exploded in all directions, and at this moment, bursts of gunshots began to sound. came from a distance.
Then he saw the deer that Jiang Hai was interested in was shot to the ground, and a dozen other deer were shot at the same time.
Those does that were not hit fled quickly after hearing the gunshots.
"What's going on? Is there anyone else watching this group of deer?" Jiang Hai frowned slightly as he watched his target being hunted before his eyes. He didn't really care about a deer, not to mention that it was a wild deer and did not belong to him to be precise.
The main reason why he showed such an expression was because he had some accidents. There are also some cautions.
Judging from the sound of gunshots, there must be more than a dozen of these people, but there are only two men and four girls on my side. Anything is possible in the wild, so it is always a good idea to be careful.
At that moment, Jiang Hai also withdrew his gun. He motioned to Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai to hide aside first, and he also asked Bell to protect the other four girls behind him, just in case something happened later and he could make emergency changes.
Although such a thing has never happened to the four girls, they probably know that sometimes the most terrifying thing in the wild is not the beast. It was these people, so they didn't say anything, they just stood there and stopped talking.
After the deer left, a dull horn sound came, and then a group of people walked out of the forest in the distance.
There were about fifteen or six of these people. They were all burly and roughly the same in appearance.
Wear very casual clothes. But it's not hunting clothes like Jiang Hai and Bell, but casual clothes. And the most important thing is that the people here are not ordinary whites or blacks, but some look like Asians.
He has black hair and a bit of dark skin, but it is the kind of black that belongs to Asia, not the kind of black people. With his big nose and deep-set eyes, he looks a bit like the Mongolian people of China.
At this time, these people were holding guns in their hands. However, unlike the good guns in Jiang Hai and Bell's hands, the guns in their hands were probably homemade, very simple, and had handles made of wood. It didn't look very good. When they saw Jiang Hai and Bell standing there, these people hesitated, but they still separated the three of them and stood in front of Jiang Hai and others, looking at Jiang Hai and the others. The man quickly walked to the group of deer and began to harvest the deer's skin and meat.
"It's the Iroquois." No one on either side raised their guns, which also meant temporary peace. Seeing that these people didn't seem to have any hostility towards him and others, Bell also said in Jiang Hai's ear.
"Iroquois?" Jiang Hai couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this term. This was the first time he had heard of it.
"It's a type of Indian. The so-called Indian actually refers to the name of all the indigenous people in the Americas. It doesn't just refer to a kind of human being. It has the same meaning as the descendants of Yan and Huang in China." Seeing Jiang Hai and I didn’t know much about it. As a teacher, Sandy Clive, who specialized in popularizing these things, took a step forward and said to Jiang Hai.
Indians, in fact, this is not a good word. It is the European invaders. It is a collective name for all the indigenous people on the American continent except the Inuit. Among them are the famous Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs. People are called Indians.
It's just that outsiders don't call them that. For example, the fifty-six ethnic groups in the country are naturally called Chinese when speaking to the outside world. Only in detail will they be divided into other ethnic groups. The same is true for Indians.
However, most of the Indians had actually been slaughtered in the sixteenth century.
Only a small number of Indians escaped into the mountains or to Canada at that time and survived.
However, before 1950, Indians were still the most hunted people in America.
Some people have always said that China was like a piglet at the beginning of the establishment of American empire, and its status and status were even lower than that of black people.
But in fact, at least the American imperialists will still hire Chinese people, let Chinese people survive in this land, and let Chinese people make money and live. Compared with white people and black people, they are naturally three types of people, but compared with Indians, they are It's so much better.
After all, the original Indians, in the eyes of the American imperialists, were worse than pigs and sheep. Pigs and sheep had to be raised to provide meat, and these people killed them just for the sake of killing, nothing more. .
The famous Sioux people, that is, the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota people, were exterminated when they were said to be exterminated. They were so shameless and bloody. The Iroquois had organized an alliance at the beginning, To resist these people.
However, the alliance later broke up, and most of the people fled to Canada, while some were kept in captivity like animals by the US imperialist government. It was not until 1950 that the US imperialism began to officially accept these people.
But these people can no longer accept American imperialism. They do not need the jobs that American imperialism provides them, nor do they need to integrate into the culture of American imperialism. They just live in their own residential areas, and most of these residential areas are now They are all protected areas or national parks, whether Americans discovered them due to conscience or due to international pressure.
Some residential areas have been designated for these people, and no one else is allowed to enter unless invited by them.
After decades of development, although the two still have an irresolvable hatred, at least they will not start shouting and killing like they did when they first met. Of course, if citizens of the American empire invade their territory, And if you are killed, your death will be in vain.
And they will not easily attack the citizens of the US imperialism outside their own bases. It can be regarded as a different kind of peace.
Seeing these people quickly processing the meat and leaving, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at the sky.
To be honest, it was already getting late now. If these people were allowed to leave like this, then he would probably forget about his antlers today. It was not easy to come here today, and he couldn't come here to hunt every day, so he hesitated. Suddenly, he took a step forward.
As he walked forward, the three people who had been watching him warily couldn't help but be startled. Their hands holding the gun instantly tightened, and they looked at him nervously. However, Jiang Hai was also a bachelor, so he After handing the gun to Bell, he shouted loudly to the people in front of him: "Which of you can speak Chinese, oh no, English? I want to buy the antlers of the deer you hunted."
After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the three people hesitated for a moment before they understood, and one of them also took a step forward.
"You want these horns? Okay, what can you use in exchange? Don't tell me about the beautiful knives you use outside. I'm not interested in that." Although the Iroquois now say that they live in their own small circle, They also have to live.
Life can't just rely on food and drink. They also have consumables, and they have neither light industry nor heavy industry. The only way is to use the skins left over from hunting, or some handicrafts, etc., to trade for other things. s things.
Of course, they generally only trade with merchants they trust, not others.
They hate black people and white people more than yellow people. If Bell said this, they probably wouldn't even pay attention to it.
"We can discuss whatever you want." Looking at the man in front of him, Jiang Hai smiled, as long as he is willing to change.
"Clothes, food, cloth, steel, weapons, anything can be done as you see fit." After hearing what Jiang Hai said, the man thought for a moment and said to Jiang Hai. After hearing what he said, Jiang Hai also nodded.
They were leaving anyway, and I could give them everything except skinks and vipers in the backpack.
"This is a tent, this is a tactical dagger, this is a set of my clothes, this is a searchlight, this is a marching pot... What do you think you can exchange for these?" Jiang Hai took a look at his things and put them away. Put it into a backpack and throw it away.
These things together are not cheap, costing about a thousand dollars. After all, Jiang Hai is not a real traveler. He doesn't know much about the right things. Since he doesn't know the right things, he will buy expensive ones.
Maybe buying expensive ones is the lowest value for money, but at least expensive things are indeed better than cheap ones. This is beyond doubt.
After taking the things thrown by Jiang Hai, this man also started rummaging around. After taking a look at these things, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. After turning his head and shouting a few words to the people behind him, he was originally handling the deer. Everyone in the head stopped.
"These things are very good, of high quality, very good. These deer heads are all yours." Seeing everyone stop, the man also turned his head and said to Jiang Hai, then waved, He quickly left with the people behind him.
"So easy? Hehe, there are even decorations this time." Seeing these people leaving quickly, Jiang Hai was also happy and made a lot of money. (To be continued.)
