Tian Fang learned from these people that his current location was the Pasco area, north of Juning.
There was an Indian slave from the Juning area who was captured by this bandit while grazing in the north.
There is a large amount of food stored in this fortress. Now that all the bandits are dead, there are far fewer people consuming the food, so the food can last longer.
Tian Fang left a team leader and twenty team members to stay in the fortress, and the slaves and women continued to live in the fortress.
After all, a small fortress cannot survive only by soldiers. These slaves and women are now also the owners of the fortress.
They are mainly responsible for grazing and production, and there are many horses and alpacas in the fortress that need someone to take care of them.
Tian Fang himself took the Indian who knew the way back to the camp. Kumar had been captured in the camp. In order to avoid getting lost, Ma Chun did not kill him.
Seeing Tian Fang coming back, Ma Chun said: "Old Tian, this kid saw that there were fewer people in the camp this morning. When he knew that the matter was exposed, he wanted to sneak away and was caught by our people. What do you think of how to deal with him?
?”
"Let me interrogate him. This kid has tried so hard to figure us out. He must have some ulterior secrets."
Kumar knew that he was doomed this time. This group of people looked more fierce than bandits and completely different from ordinary Chinese. In his eyes, all Chinese were cowardly.
But even those who knew they were going to die would still cling to a glimmer of hope. Tian Fang took an interpreter to him to question him. He originally thought that he would have to be tortured before he would speak, but he didn't expect that this coward would reveal everything.
Through Kumar's description, Ma Chun and Tian Fang knew that the group of Chinese workers who ran to the Indian settlement in Juning were probably Dong Shutong and the others. And since they were rescued by the Indians, they should still be alive and well.
This news made the whole team happy.
"What should we do with this person? Are we still taking him with us?" Ma Chun asked.
"This person is an unstable factor and may cause us trouble. I suggest getting rid of him. When we return to Lima, we will say that we encountered a gang and the guide was killed." Tian Fang suggested.
Kumar watched the conversation between the two. The other person spoke Chinese and he couldn't understand a word of it. He thought the other person would not kill him because of his confession. After all, he could still be their translator. He understood Spanish.
He also understands Indian language.
After a while, two soldiers came over, picked up their arms, and walked towards a hillside. Kumar loudly asked them in Spanish what they wanted to do. But no one paid attention to him, and the special forces team members could not understand what he was saying.
say what.
With the sound of a gunshot, Kumar's body rolled down the hillside, and the tall South American vultures would quickly eat him up. They would also lift the bones that could not be broken into pieces and throw them down from high altitudes. After breaking them, they would swallow them.
This time, under the guidance of the newly arrived Indian guide, the team headed south toward Juning's Indian tribe.
There is Huning Lake near the Huning tribe, which is one of the few places on the plateau that is suitable for farming.
After Dong Shutong married Zhumu, his life was very happy. The Indian tribes did not have so many ideas of male superiority and female inferiority. They respected the strong.
After Zhumu got married, she became more mature and steady, and the old clan leader handed over more clan affairs to her.
Since Dong Shutong helped the tribe obtain more supplies in the transaction, the tribe's commercial trade was handed over to Dong Shutong. In addition, he also brought several Chinese workers with rich farming experience to be responsible for farming.
In order to prevent soil erosion, they used stones that can be seen everywhere in the Andes to enclose terraces on the hillside. They introduced melted snow water from high altitudes into the terraces and irrigated them layer by layer. This greatly increased the area of cultivated land of the Junin tribe.
"Zhumu, are the tribes on the shores of Lake Juning still unwilling to merge with us?"
Dong Shutong and Zhumu sat side by side on a big rock on the hillside, admiring the sunset in the Andes.
Recently, they are negotiating with another tribe to merge. Near that tribe is Junin Lake, the largest lake in the Junin region. The altitude is relatively low, and the lakeside is particularly suitable for development into cultivated land. But now it is occupied by another tribe.
. And that tribe only knows how to herd cattle and does not know how to farm, which is a huge waste of resources.
"The leader of that tribe, Vulture, is very conservative. He feels that except for his own tribe, everyone else is an outsider."
"Now there is only one way to occupy the lakeside." Zhumu said.
"Is it really going to go to the stage of war? Zhumu, I still think that the Indians should try not to use war to achieve unification. Otherwise, it will only benefit the white fishermen." Dong Shutong said worriedly.
"Tong, is it the story you told me about the snipe and the clam fighting for the fisherman's profit?" Zhumu asked.
"Well, yes, our ancestors passed down their wisdom through little stories like this, just like your ancestors from the Inca Empire."
"Same, but now we are all citizens of Peru founded by white people. I think in a few years no one will remember our ancestors, just like many Indians living in white areas now. They speak white people's words.
Language, imitation of white people’s living habits, and belief in white people’s religion.”
"Yes, if a nation wants to be passed down, it must be independent, otherwise it will disappear from history."
"Same, as an Indian, I feel it is my responsibility to pass on the Indian culture. You will help me, right?"
"No matter what, I will support you, Zhumu!" Dong Shutong gently smoothed Zhumu's hair at the temples, glanced down at her slightly protruding belly, and said firmly.
"Sister Zhumu, sister Zhumu!" At this time, a young man shouted and ran towards us.
"Hey, it looks like a pony whistle." Zhumu looked back.
Mashao is a young man in the tribe. He pesters Dong Shu’s classmate Chinese every day because he likes to listen to the stories of Sun Tzu’s Art of War. His ideal is to grow up to be an Indian general.
"Mashao, why is it so urgent? You are so tired from running." Zhumu asked.
"Yes...it's someone from Mr. Dong's hometown." Ma Shao gasped and stuttered.
"Mashao, children can't imitate adults in making jokes. You know my hometown is one hundred and eighty thousand miles away from here!" Dong Shutong said with a smile.
"No... I'm not kidding, there are a lot of people here! They all look like you, and they even know your name. Come and have a look, sir." Ma Shao added.
Dong Shutong stood up with a bang and ran towards the tribe.
"Tong, slow down, wait for me!" Zhumu shouted from behind with his horse whistle.
Only then did Dong Shutong realize that he had been so excited that he had left his wife behind, so he quickly slowed down and waited for Zhumu and Mashao to catch up.
Ma Chun, Tian Fang and his party searched several tribes in the name of merchants, but no Chinese were found.
When they came to a tribe by the stream, Ma Chun immediately concluded that there were Chinese people here because the scene in the fields looked like they had been moved from rural China.
.
He entered the tribe and really saw the Chinese workers. These Chinese workers all knew Dong Shutong's name. After asking, it turned out that Dong Shutong was really in this tribe.
Ma Chun and Tian Fang immediately went to visit the tribe leader and presented them with gifts. When the leader saw that these people looked the same as the Chinese laborers of the tribe, he did not reject them.
Through conversation and explanations from a Chinese worker on the side, Ma Chun and Tian Fang also had a general understanding of Dong Shutong's situation.
At this time, the leader had sent Ma Shao to find Dong Shutong. Everyone was waiting for Dong Shutong's return at the leader's house, which is Dong Shutong's current home.
When Dong Shutong saw his former long-term follower Ma Chun, his eyes became wet unconsciously.
He had already sentenced himself to death for his past. But he didn't expect to see his old friend again and get news from his hometown thousands of miles away.
"Ma Chun has met the eldest young master." Ma Chun hurriedly came over to greet him with a big gift. Others in the team also came to greet him. After all, this man is the president's brother.
"Everyone, get up quickly. You have come across thousands of miles, thank you for your hard work!" Dong Shutong quickly helped everyone up.
Zhumu was confused when he saw it. Was his husband a big shot? Didn't he say that he was just a businessman?
I had just seen the entourage in the team, all equipped with rifles. Judging from their temperament, they were obviously soldiers.
"Ma Chun, hurry up and ask everyone to sit down. I'm still in a dream. Hurry up and tell me what's going on." Dong Shutong said to Ma Chun. He was the only one in this team who knew Ma Chun.
"Master, don't worry, let me help you make tea." Ma Chun took out a bag of tea and used the hot water on the fire to make tea for everyone.
Dong Shutong took a sip, lowered his head and remained silent. But he felt the taste of his hometown in his heart.
"Ma Chun, your craftsmanship is still so good. Zhumu, you should try it too. This is tea that can only be bought at a high price in Lima City." Dong Shutong praised Ma Chun and said to his wife.
Zhumu also followed Dong Shutong's example, took a sip and said: "Well, the taste is very fragrant and a little bitter, but the aftertaste in the stomach is very good."
"Okay, Ma Chun, can you speak now?" Dong Shutong looked at Ma Chun and said.
This is a long story. Ma Chun started from the time when Dong Shuheng started organizing team training, until Dong Shuheng got the news about Dong Shutong and sent a fleet to look for his relatives.
Dong Shutong felt like he was listening to a book, and he felt very satisfied.
"Hey... It would be great if Shu Heng can make a career. Our Dong family can finally shine on the family tree." Dong Shutong said with a long sigh.
Dong Shutong has a strong sense of family. He was originally abducted to South America. What he was most worried about was not his own life or death. He was worried that without him, the Dong family would be ruined.
However, he never expected that his slightly cowardly and gentle brother would suddenly become strong and show such great potential after he disappeared!
