Chapter two hundred and eighty figure

After performing hard for a long time, there were more and more people watching the shore, but they all watched Hong Tao eat and drink like a fool, and none of them were willing to come down to try it. It doesn’t matter if a plan fails. We have a backup plan. This time we don’t need a dagger and a knife. There are too many people on the other side. If you have to take a knife out, you might fly over. It’s too dangerous. This time, Hong Tao has played with matches. I must have never seen this thing before, right?

"¥%#%..." Sure enough, when the first match flashed out of the flames, a burst of exclamations came from the crowd. When Hong Tao used the match to light a small branch, a middle-aged Indian man with shirtless, wearing a loincloth and a big braid walked down the river bank, approached Hong Tao, and stretched out his hand.

"Match...fire...fight...fight...big is very useful!" Hong Tao quickly handed over a box of matches and began to teach him how to operate it step by step. After he scratched one by himself, he stretched out his thumb and praised it, as if the other party had solved the problem of manned space flight.

A sincere smile and novel items have made communication between people smoother. At least the initial uneasiness and hostility have been alleviated a lot. According to Hong Tao's theory, it is time to enter the stage of substantial contact. At this time, Hong Tao can take out his knife and no longer have to worry about being stabbed into a hornet's nest by a slut. Indians also dared to come over and taste the taste of sugar and rum. While communicating with their companions, they tried the magical matches and short swords. As a result, laughter became more and more frequent, and communication became less and less.

Although Indians are not a group of people and even have different languages, their habits are similar. When you take your good things, you must be compensated. They basically have no judgment on the value. They can also change a bag of old corn beans and a short knife, and a bag of peppers and a box of matches. There is nothing to suffer or not, as long as both parties are happy, there is no problem. After the high-five, the deal will be done. No one is allowed to repent.

"...his...was...was... sick..." Hong Tao was not here to do business. The previous procedure was just to increase the favorable feelings between both parties. When he and the casual slave soldiers were invited to the village and saw the elders of the village, the serious things should be said. How to say it? Hong Tao had a way, and drawing pictures would definitely not work. He did not have the ability to use pictures to express the difference between a patient and a normal person. So a unique pantomime performance began, and the actor was Hong Tao himself. He lies on the ground with his body shivering, and then he couldn't stop wiping sweat with his sleeves, pretending to be dying.

"Issuing cards...issuing cards..." Obviously, the elder understood what Hong Tao meant. He pointed his finger at the sky. The meaning was probably similar to that of Carl, and he blamed God for this disease. In fact, it is not easy to be a god, and he has to suffer so many unjust grievances every day.

"...spray...medicine...medicine..." Hong Tao simply took a small trunk, cut a piece of bark with a dagger, and threw it into his mouth and chewed it to death. The taste was similar to taking poison, it was bitter and astringent. In fact, it was not easy to listen to a bug. How many kinds of bark could be delicious?

"%¥%*..." Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tossed, he almost chewed out the bubbles. The elder still didn't take out what he wanted, but it didn't look like he refused. Hong Tao couldn't understand what the specific meaning was.

"Twice... ten short knives!" Although he didn't understand what they were saying, Hong Tao felt that they should have such medicinal materials in the future. As for why they didn't take them out, the price was definitely not negotiated. Such expensive medicinal materials could be used casually by outsiders. So the short knives on the slave soldiers were disarmed and placed side by side in front of the elders.

"...**" There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Hong Tao's big move made the elder a little vague. He picked up the rum that had just exchanged with Hong Tao for corn and took a big sip, and fell into deep thought.

"Issuing card... %..." At this time, an Indian woman with her upper body standing up from the crowd, walked directly to the elder, whispered a few words to him, and then shouted to the older Indians next to her, with a little excited expression. After getting the approval of the old men, she picked up a short knife from the ground, cut a hole in her forearm, and slapped the old men one by one with her palms dipped in her blood. As for the vows they made, Hong Tao was still confused.

After making the vow, the elder said a few more words to the woman, then took out a small wooden tube from the small leather bag on his waist, poured out some red powder from it, and mixed it with some grease, and began to draw lines on the woman's face. The crowd around him tapped the darts and body in his hands, and jumped around the fire pit in circles, as if it was a ceremony.

Hong Tao was very annoyed. When they finished their troubles, all the people who were in a hurry died, and it was nothing to cure them. But there was no way to do anything on their territory. They could only wait for them to do things. Not only did they make trouble, but they should not be idle, and dance with them. This way they would look respectful of other people's traditions.

"What does it mean? She took me to... to find a doctor? OK, OK, I'll tell you about this in the future. I, Bai Nima, have been dancing for a long time. It's still a physical work!" The elder finished drawing patterns on the Indian woman, and the ceremony ended. He called Hong Tao, who was sweating all over, and signaled him to leave with the woman.

Instead of taking Hong Tao to see the doctor, the woman walked into a small thatched hut, picked up a bow, a dart, and the short knife she had just picked up, and packed up a small package, as if she was going to travel far. Hong Tao couldn't explain it to her, so she could only think that the doctor lived far away or was simply in a nearby tribe and needed to walk to invite him, so she quickly called the slave soldiers, leaving three people watching Hukar and the boat, and the rest set off with her.

"%¥¥…**……………………” When the Indian woman saw Hong Tao calling so many people, she immediately stopped doing it. She grinned and shouted something. She couldn't ask the doctor to ask too many people. Famous doctors have strange habits, and Hong Tao can understand this. So, let's go there by yourself. Send slave soldiers to the scene. It's definitely not clear whether they are dead or alive. She can't even see that she dies of illness and Carl.

Hand crossbow, one big and one small! Two daggers, one short knife, two first aid kits, a small pot of alcohol, a moisture-proof pad sewn from whale skin and deer skin, a pair of sleeping bags, a pair of leather shoes, a set of changing clothes, matches, sugar, biscuits, and several dried fish... An Indian woman had a head-sized bag on her waist, and Hong Tao was carrying a large backpack like a hill on her back, with all kinds of fragments hanging on it. This posture shocked the Indian woman. She didn't recognize most of the things. When she looked at the short knife in her hand, it didn't seem very precious.

"Hong..." Following the Indian woman out of the village and heading towards the woods in the distance along the cornfield. Hong Tao was not idle when walking. He planned to get to know each other with this Indian woman.

"Tu..." The Indian woman was quite smart. She quickly understood what Hong Tao meant and said her name. I don't know if it was her surname Tu or her name.

"Photo...Hong..." Hong Tao confirmed several times. After getting the woman's nod, he took out a piece of dried fish from his pocket and gave it to her half, so that she could throw it into her mouth to chew it as she did. This kind of thing was invented by Li women in Jinhewan. They were good at drying all kinds of dried meat. They felt it was a pity that they threw it all over. So much whale meat was thrown away, so they marinated the fish with sugar and wine. After drying it, it became a snack. The dried fish tasted very good, but it was a bit hard, and it was thrown into the mouth and chewed to relieve boredom. The important thing is that it can be kept for a long time, and as long as it is not damp, it will not change its flavor for two years.

"Hong..." The picture should also think the dried fish tastes good, and finally showed a bright smile, but with her big face and white teeth, it looks even worse than not smiling, just like a living ghost.

According to Hong Tao's eyesight and judgment, this Indian woman is not old. To be precise, she should be a young woman and must have never given birth. Why? Because she didn't wear a top, she could roughly distinguish the age and experience of a woman by looking at the shape of the pectoralis major muscles and the dip. Of course, after artificial processing in the later stage, Hong Tao has not studied that thing. In addition, the general age can be seen from the woman's waist. The lines of the body of young people, adults and elderly people are different, especially the waist. But these judgments are limited to the general, because her face and body are painted with thick pastels, and she really can't see clearly. You can't just grab someone's head and eyes.

As for where she was going to take her and how far she needed to get there, Hong Tao couldn't understand, and her body language was not enough to express these meanings clearly. Anyway, I'm here, so I'm probably not too far. Otherwise, there should be male warriors in the tribe who would go directly and would not let a girl serve as a guide for her. Ten short knives can't cheat people like this.

If you miscalculate, you can easily get misunderstandings by relying on body language communication. Since you entered this rainforest, you still haven't reached the place after walking for an hour. There is a small path in the rainforest, but it seems that people don't walk often, and many branches have grown. At first, the picture waving a short knife to open the way. Later, Hong Tao felt that it was not appropriate to let a girl get tired of this, so he simply went on the battle by himself. But this road seemed to have no end, and his arms were sore, and there was still a rainforest in front. Several times Hong Tao wanted to ask how far the picture was, but unfortunately it was a waste of time to ask. How to express it clearly with gestures and expressions from the unit is indeed a difficult problem, and even Hong Tao himself has not figured it out.
