Super Chief

Chapter 159: Daddy

"Father, I also want to follow you to take a look at their tribe." Bai Yun blocked Lei Ying at the door of the room again and said stubbornly.

   Lei Ying looked at his eldest daughter, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

   To be honest, Lei Ying was both happy and regretful that he had led this great bear to the Xiaohe tribe. Naturally, there is no need to say much about the happy things. This Great Bear brought salt, steel knives, and steel spears to the Xiaohe Tribe. Although these things are not visible yet, Thunder Eagle believes that the Gaoshu Tribe has these things, otherwise the Great Bear will not say anything. So sure.

   And the ratio of salt to white stones is one bag for five bags, and the ratio of a steel knife for ten bags of white stones is far better than the price offered by the French.

  The most important thing is that you don’t have to worry about exposing the location of the tribe when you trade with the Gaoshu tribe. When dealing with those French people, every time the tribe needs to travel a long distance with a heavy white stone for more than 100 miles to reach the place of trade.

   Therefore, no matter what, dealing with the Gaoshu tribe is far better than dealing with the French.

   At least in the future, the French will not be able to hold the neck of the Xiaohe Tribe in the salt and iron trade.

   Therefore, being able to reach a deal with the Gaoshu tribe is undoubtedly a great thing for the Xiaohe tribe.

   But in the same way, Lei Ying felt a little regretful.

   Great Bear lived in the tribe for a few days, and his eldest daughter stayed with him for a few days.

   My god, that girl Bai Yun hasn't served people much since she was a child, but now she is so good to an outsider. Everyone knows what this means.

  Lei Ying knew in his heart that he was about to lose this eldest daughter

  As a father, it would be strange if he feels comfortable with his daughter who has been raised for more than ten years.

   But fortunately, this great bear still has a better taste for Lei Ying, otherwise, if you change someone, Lei Ying would have been driven away long ago.

   Lei Ying naturally doesn't know the phrase "it will rain, my mother will marry", but North American Indians are very open to marriage. If you like it, you can live together and start a family, and if you don't like it, you can break up with a kindness.

   You must know that when the Cherokees lived in the Great Lakes area, they were still a matriarchal society. A woman could find several men.

   Now whether it is a Cherokee or a Chekasa, it’s okay for a man to find several women. As long as you can support these women, you can take the women home.

   But the same, if you bring a woman back home but can't afford it, then you will not only despise all the people, but absolutely no woman will follow you in the future.

   That's right, North American Indians in this era are so open. In contrast, marriages in later Western countries are nothing short of ignorance. Perhaps only those countries that allow polygamy can be compared with the North American Indians of this era.

   In other words, if you are a capable man, then the North American Indian living area of ​​this era is paradise; if you are incapable, sorry, you can only rely on the five girls.

   In fact, in terms of Shixiong's current ability and status, as long as he wants to find a woman, some of the Gaoshu tribe are willing to follow him.

   A man like Lord Guardian would pull all the ethnic groups of North American Indians once, and I'm afraid I can't find a second one.

   Not to mention that people are tall and mighty, their strength is still very high, and they are only sixteen years old. Although they are slightly older, they are definitely not a problem. The most important thing is that people know so many things, just picking one out can make the whole tribe live a good life.

   Which woman doesn't like a man like this?

   But it is a pity that Master Guardian does not seem to have a woman he likes, so Master Guardian did not respond to those girls in the tribe who deliberately appeared in front of them all day long, which made many girls in the tribe secretly sad.

   Now the stone bear disaster has hit the Xiaohe tribe. A few days after it came, he took away the heart of Lei Ying's eldest daughter Bai Yun.

  Lei Ying had the intention not to let his daughter go to the Gaoshu tribe, but he also knew that he could not stop his daughter. The eldest daughter is gentle and demure on the outside, but she is strong on the inside. How could Lei Ying as a father not know this?

   It's like Baiyun has been arguing and going to the Gaoshu tribe after learning that the tribe is going to send some people to the Gaoshu tribe. This is enough to prove her daughter's thoughts.

   Therefore, Lei Ying could only sigh helplessly in his heart, and finally agreed to his daughter's request.

   There is no way, the girl is older, and her mind has long been on the big bear. This can't be stopped.

   However, Lei Ying is somewhat pleased. He can see that Dali Xiong likes his eldest daughter very much. Many girls in the tribe have been leaning against this big man these days, but he didn't lie to other girls, but he took good care of his eldest daughter.

  Lei Ying could see that this big man really liked his eldest daughter. Since this is the case, there is no need to block the happiness of his daughter as a father.

   When Bai Yun saw that his father finally agreed, the smile on a beautiful little face made Lei Ying a dad.

   Women's University could not help but, although this is an old Chinese saying, it is still common among North American Indian tribes. Of course, on the father and daughter of Baiyun and Lei Ying, it is a typical "female college can't help but father".

  As a reclusive tribe, the Xiaohe tribe and the Gaoshu tribe reached a deal, which is naturally a big event for the Xiaohe tribe. So the Xiaohe tribe is going to send some people to the Gaoshu tribe to inspect it.

   No matter what Dali Xiong said, it's better to see it with your own eyes.

   Therefore, Lei Ying decided to take himself as the leader, lead several senior members of the tribe and some elite fighters, and follow the strong bear to the Gaoshu tribe to take a look.

   And they also want to see the famous Kabru sacrifice with their own eyes.

Ever since the Cherokee moved south to the mountainous areas of central and southern Appalachia, the name of Kabru rituals has spread around this powerful ethnic group. Although the Xiaohe tribe is a secluded tribe, they also listened to it. Said the name of the Kabru sacrifice.

Since the stone bear was already wading out the road when he came, at least the stone bear can guarantee that there is no danger on the road, so this time there are not many people going to the Gaoshu tribe. Counting Baiyun, it is only ten. Only six people.

   In fact, it’s easy to walk from Xiaohe Tribe to Gaoshu Tribe. You only need to walk east along the foot of the Great Smoky Mountain to reach Gaoshu Tribe, but it is troublesome to cross several large rivers on the road.

   After some preparations, the group set out in the direction of the place where the sun shines forever.

   The straight-line distance between Xiaohe Tribe and Gaoshu Tribe is about 200 miles. If it is in the plain, it can be reached by riding a horse in one morning.

   But the road from Xiaohe tribe to Gaoshu tribe is not so easy.

   In fact, there is no way to go here at all, otherwise the stone bear would not ride a horse for more than two days to run out more than two hundred miles.

This part of the journey is full of small undulating hills. The series of fold mountains between the Blue Ridge and the Cumberland Heights have fragmented this area-these fold mountains were originally intact, but Under the effect of hundreds of millions of years of weathering, these fold mountains have long been weathered in a disastrous manner.

   These small hills, which are only one hundred and eighty meters high and less than twenty to thirty meters high, are the fold mountains after weathering. In addition, this is the western **** of the Appalachian Mountains, so there are many rivers obstructing the road.

   Strictly speaking, this area is no man’s land, and even Cherokee and Chekasha people rarely visit this place.

   At this time, unlike later generations, countless dams were built on the huge Tennessee River, and then the Tennessee River formed one reservoir after another. In this era, the Tennessee River is an out-and-out harm river.

   The water source of the Tennessee River mainly comes from atmospheric precipitation, so the water volume is abundant and extremely unstable. In this era, the entire Midwestern region of Tennessee is actually a big swamp. The Tennessee River, which is flooded from time to time, is the culprit for this huge swamp.

  Shixiong and the others took this route because of its high altitude, so the Tennessee River did not harm this route. However, in this route to Gaoshu tribe, there are hundreds of large and small rivers.

   Rivers like Hayworth, Little Tennessee, and Little River are relatively large, and there are hundreds of other small rivers with a width of only a few meters or even more than a dozen meters.

   These small rivers all flow down from the western **** of the Appalachian Mountains. Because of the terrain, these rivers have not converged when they first flowed down the slope. However, as they flow downstream, these small rivers will gradually converge and eventually all merge into the Tennessee River.

   Therefore, these small rivers and the weathered folds of mountains make this area completely fragmented, as if a complete mirror fell on the ground.

   It’s easy to talk about the small hills. If you can’t climb over, you can take a detour. It won’t take a long time, but these rivers are more troublesome.

  In this age without bridges, Shixiong and the others can only look for narrow rivers and then wade over. If they encounter a large river with a width of several tens of meters, they will have to take a detour to find a convenient place to cross the river before crossing the river.

   It means that it is deep winter and there is little water flow. If one or two months pass, when it comes to the end of winter and the beginning of spring, these rivers will become irritable.

   is also a very strange phenomenon. In other parts of the United States, the rivers have high water periods in summer, but in the upper reaches of the Tennessee River, the high water periods are in the late winter and early spring, but in summer, the water flow is less.

  The reason is that the river originates from the western **** of the Appalachian Mountains. When the winter monsoon goes south, it is blocked by the mountains and uplifted, and precipitation occurs in the middle. In summer, the monsoon from the southeast is blocked by the mountains, and most of the precipitation occurs on the east **** of Appalachia, and the precipitation on the west **** decreases a lot. Therefore, in summer, the flow of the Tennessee River will be smaller.

  The peculiar topography created the peculiar dry and high water period of this river.

   It is deep winter, and the amount of water in these rivers is generally not large, so they can find a place to cross the river. But if it comes to the rainy season, they won't be able to go like this.

   "Strong bear, don't look far apart between our two tribes, but these rivers" Standing in front of a big river, Lei Ying said with a sad face.

   The big river in front of me is sixty to seventy meters wide. It is named "Little Tennessee River" in later generations, and it is the largest tributary of the upper Tennessee River. This river, which originated in the depths of the Great Smoky Mountains, is also a very violent river. The abundant water flow often floods the river. In the area where the Little Tennessee River meets the Tennessee River, it is a large swampland at this time.

  In later generations, the Americans built four or five dams on this river at one go, which completely restrained the violent river. Eventually, the swamps in this area disappeared and replaced by a large reservoir.

But in this age, it is impossible to build dams or anything else. Not to mention dams. Even building a bridge is an impossible task. Stone bears can’t build bridges, let alone those Indians. Repair the bridge.

   So, if you want to cross this little Tennessee River, which is now a little calmer, you have to go a long way downstream and cross the river from the swamp area.

When the Stone Bear crossed the Little Tennessee River, because there was a tribe nearby that was separated from the Gaoshu tribe, and their people were very familiar with the conditions of the swamp, the Stone Bear was able to safely cross the Little Tennessee River from the swamp. .

   After crossing the swamp, the sadness on Lei Ying's face became more serious. The steel and salt of the Gaoshu tribe are indeed very good, but if this is the way~www.wuxiaspot.com~, let alone a transaction between the two tribes, it would be difficult to even send a letter.

   It's a dry season and it's so difficult to go. If it's a wet season, this big river alone can cut off the connection between the two tribes!

  Thunder Eagle certainly wants to start a long-term deal with Gaoshu tribe, but this way

   If Lei Ying understands ancient Chinese poems, he would probably sing something at this moment—it’s hard to walk, it’s hard to go to the sky.

   Lei Ying looked sad, looking at the hot eldest daughter Bai Yun who had been talking to Dali Xiong, with a happy and happy expression, and his mood improved a little bit. Of course, if Lei Ying could hear what his daughter and Strong Bear said at this time, he would definitely not be so sad again.

   "What? You said that when we meet again in the future, we won't have to ride a horse? You have a boat?"

   "Of course, we have four boats. They are very big boats. Well, you should have seen them. It is the kind of sailboats that French people take."

   "But why do you have French boats?"

"It's not easy. Some time ago, a tribe of your Chekasha tribe called Retich hooked up with the French who were stationed in the Okron military fortress. They formed a coalition and took four ships along the Big Bend. Going upstream, preparing to destroy our high tree tribe. As a result, I made a fire cow formation and brought all these guys in one pot. Even the four boats they took, I got them. hand"

   In front of the beloved woman, Shi Xiong never mind telling her about his great achievements
