Chapter 1410 1410. Holy Wolf (45)
After some rest, Brother Wolf continued to clean up the wounds of the two, and finally applied healing medicine to bandage them.
Li Du asked: "How are you doing? Can you leave by yourself?"
The older Indian nodded and stood up with the support of the tree. He stood up and bowed first: "Thank you, thank you for your life-saving grace. If we didn't meet you by chance today, we would die!"
Brother Wolf frowned and said, "The copperhead viper isn't very poisonous. How could you pass out so quickly after being bitten?"
The Indian said: "I don't know. People in our tribe are all like this. They are very sensitive to copperheads. After being bitten, their nerves will soon be paralyzed."
"The viper is sensitive." Brother Wolf suddenly nodded, "Then be careful, and stay away from the viper in the future."
The boy asked: "Did you see a helicopter just now? It carried a big box, did you find it?"
Li Du asked sensitively: "Oh, I found out, why are you paying attention to that helicopter?"
The boy said, "We followed the helicopter. Is that the helicopter used by the Pittsburgh government to deliver food and medicine?"
In order to assist the Indians in the deep mountains and some hidden residential villages, cities around the Appalachian Mountains often organize helicopters to drop some daily necessities to the deep mountains, which can be regarded as the government's help to these vulnerable groups.
After hearing the young man's words, Li Du understood that he was worrying for nothing. He said, "That's a private helicopter. It was supposed to deliver something. It didn't drop any supplies."
The teenager showed a disappointed expression and muttered, "Oh, well, the Pittsburgh government hasn't dropped anything by air in two months, how strange."
The Marklove brothers grinned, and Li Du looked at them and asked in a low voice, "Are you kidding me?"
Da Ma laughed and said, "It turned out that these things were dropped by the government. We picked them up once. Clothes, medicine, food and a few tools were obtained from there."
The Indians were very enthusiastic. After Li Du rescued them, he originally wanted to part ways, but the two warmly invited them to have dinner together.
The two Indians were the Mahicans, and their tribe was once one of several large Indian tribes in the Appalachian Mountains.
At first, the Mahikan people lived in the area north of the Catskill Mountains on the upper Hudson River. The name of the tribe means "wolf" in the Algonquian language they speak, but the Dutch and British who first discovered them because They live by the river, so they are called the River Indians.
Later, the Mahikan people's land was invaded, cheated and sold at a low price, and finally they left their homeland and made long-distance migrations in the mountains.
At this time the Mahikan tribe was subdivided in great numbers, of which there were five important ones, each ruled by hereditary chiefs assisted by elected advisors.
The young Indians were called Katurom, and the grown-ups were called Sadislam, and they belonged to a small branch of the Mahikan tribe, whose name was Tawisi.
Katurom has the enthusiasm and honesty of a young man. On the way, he introduced: "If you can, I hope you can come and sit with us. My parents would like to thank you. You saved their favorite little wolf cub."
Li Du saw that it was getting late, and it would be nice to have a meal as a guest in the tribe, so he nodded in agreement.
But he noticed that Thaddeus Ram seemed not very happy about this invitation, and his face was not very good-looking.
The Katurom boy Xinxing didn't notice this, and he said happily: "Great, our tribe must welcome you very much, because we haven't had any guests for a long time!"
Thaddeus Ram said solemnly: "It's not that our tribe has had no guests for a long time, but that we don't allow them to enter. Most people, white and black, are bad people, and only a few are good people. We welcome good people to visit."
Li Du smiled and said, "Fortunately, I'm neither white nor black."
Thaddeus Ram said: "This is one of the reasons why my nephew invited you."
They were walking, Ah Ao and Ah Miao had had enough fun in the surrounding woods, and ran back again.
Ah Ao came out of the woods, and the two Indians were startled: "Hey, wolf!"
The two lived in deep mountains and old forests, so they were no strangers to this kind of animal.
"Don't be afraid, this is my pet, it's very good." Li Du waved his hand, and Ah Ao ran over, and put the pheasant in his mouth into his hand.
Seeing this scene, Thaddeus Ram suddenly knelt down to Ah Ao and muttered in their traditional Algonquin language, not knowing what to say.
Ah Ao looked puzzled, and tilted his head to look at Sadie Slam, not understanding what the other party was doing, so he ran away wagging his tail without interest.
Li Du quickly went to support Sadis Ram and said, "God, buddy, what are you doing?"
Thaddeus Ram said solemnly: "This is not your pet, this is the descendant of the mountain, the elf of all beasts, is it a holy wolf?"
Li Du smiled and said: "It is indeed a very good wolf, but it is not a holy wolf, right?"
Saidis Ram said: "There are two kinds of wolves. The ones that hurt people are hungry wolves. Our tribe will fight with them when we encounter them. The ones that don't hurt people are holy wolves. Our ancestors have encountered holy wolves. Holy wolves We met them who were exhausted, not only did not launch an attack, but also gave them food!"
Katurom nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, you are a holy wolf!"
The Mahikan tribe is the wolf tribe, and their totem is the holy wolf.
Of course, as Thaddeus Ram said, they are not stupid, and they do not worship harmful hungry wolves. They worship holy wolves. It doesn’t matter whether holy wolves exist, anyway, they have faith.
Ah Ao's existence excited the two of them, and Thaddeus Ram's attitude towards Li Du changed, and he insisted on inviting them to the tribe, becoming more active than his nephew.
On the way, he said: "Our rescue by you must have been arranged by God Mahican. It must be like this. He sent the holy wolf to us. Ah, God Mahican is great and immortal, and his divine light lasts forever!"
Li Du stroked his chin and said, "It's really possible, buddy, it's my pet wolf that found you, and it found someone lying down in the woods."
From this point of view, this matter is really a bit metaphysical. People who worshiped wolves were saved by wolves. They survived because of their beliefs. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle.
After hearing what he said, the uncle and nephew became even more excited, and Sadislam was a little hesitant to say: "Ah, is that so? Ah, it must be so! We are people favored by God Mahican, my son, You are favored by God, sir, a good man who takes care of Holy Wolf, after entering the tribe, please tell our chiefs and elders about this!"
After discovering Ah Ao and knowing that they were saved by Ah Ao, the two of them suddenly became energetic. The weakness caused by the snake venom quickly disappeared. They walked like a tiger, and the changes were amazing .
Li Du has to admit that psychological effects have a great impact on people. As the saying goes, the sky has the three treasures, the sun, the moon and the stars, and people have the three treasures, energy and spirit. The old saying is so reasonable!
