Chapter 171: The Iroquois "Your Highness, I greet you."
To Li Zhen's surprise, before he could speak, one of the Indians who was obviously the leader (don't ask Li Zhen why he could see his leader, because among the eight Indians, only this person had a circle of bird feathers on his head, although it was very tattered, but this was a unique ornament for the chief) actually took the initiative to say hello, and he still spoke Chinese, although he was not very proficient, but he could already make people understand the meaning.
"Can you speak our minds?"
Li Zhen did not laugh at the name Sai Qunxiong, because he knew the rules of Indian naming, and the lifelong name of an Indian depends on his record in the first battle against the enemy, and after returning from the battle, all the people gathered together to participate in the ceremony of the leader giving him the name of the clan.
If he wins, he gets a good name, which can be called "Twin Spear General", "Six Killer", "Fierce Spear General", or "Saiqun Hero", otherwise, people call him "Crazy Wolf", "Bad Seed", or "Smoke Granny", so an Indian name is his own file and description.
Sai Qunxiong is about forty years old, but Li Zhen knows that Sai Qunxiong is only in his thirties at most, not more than forty years old, and the reason why he behaves so old is that he is afraid that like Wang Dewei, he was destroyed by the harsh environment.
Sai Qunxiong saw Li Zhen ask about this, so he explained with a smile: "Yes, I have the same personality as Brother Wang, even the learning ability is the same, during this period of time we learn from each other, I taught him Iroquois, he taught me Chinese, we work together and make progress together, now not only Brother Wang has a fluent Iroquois language, I can also speak Chinese smoothly, not only me, but my people can also understand part of the meaning of Chinese." ” Hearing him say this, the seven men behind him also nodded hurriedly, indicating that they understood Sai Qunxiong's words.
"So, you're an Iroquois?"
Li Zhen hurriedly asked, but deep down, he was a little puzzled, he had only heard of the three major civilizations of the Indians, but among these three civilizations, there were no Iroquois.
In fact, Li Zhen didn't know that the three major civilizations of the Indians had not yet appeared at this time, and the earliest could not be born until after the tenth century.
Before the Three Great Civilizations, it was the Iroquois civilization that ruled western North America.
"Yes, we are Iroquois."
"The Iroquois are very peace-loving, and we Moche people are also very good at planting and fishing, and a group of us were fishing when we encountered a storm, and when we woke up, we found that we had reached an unknown sea, but fortunately there is a huge island next to us, which is rich in supplies, and we have lived there for nearly a solar year with hunting skills, so we have repaired our boats.
But on the third day after we had gone out to sea to return home, we encountered another storm, and the ship was badly damaged, and the water source was swept away by the wind and rain, and we were about to die of thirst, and it was in this situation that we met Brother Wang.
It wasn't until this time that we discovered that we had been swept away by a storm to another powerful empire, which was really unbelievable. ” Speaking of this, Sai Qunxiong's tone was grateful and frustrated, and there was also a little sigh, the experience of more than a year is too bizarre, not only because of two disasters in a row but not dying twice, but more importantly, what he saw and heard along the way in Datang after coming out of Vladivostok - he thought that their Iroquois were already developed enough, but after seeing the prosperity of Datang, he understood the meaning of the idiom 'sitting in a well and watching the sky' taught to him by Wang Dewei.
"I see."
Li Zhen has already heard Wang Dewei say their experience, if Li Zhen is not mistaken, the island they came to should be Sakhalin.
"Your Highness, what Brother Sai said is true."
Wang Dewei also testified on the side: "The subordinates also found it according to the road map provided by Brother Sai, it is indeed a huge island, and in the south of this island, there is also a small island, on which lives a group of wild people, because the subordinates do not have enough strength, so they did not go up to investigate." ” "That's it."
Two adjacent islands, one is Sakhalin, the one in the south is Hokkaido, there is only one Soya Strait between the two, and the closest point between the two is only more than 40 kilometers, since Wang Dewei can find Sakhalin Island, he can naturally find Hokkaido, but it is a pity that Yu Chi Baoqing and Qin Huaiyu have not yet arrived in Hokkaido at this time, otherwise they may be able to meet each other.
"By the way, did you really bring sweet potatoes?"
After chatting, Li Zhen asked about the matter, if they really brought sweet potatoes, then Li Zhen's food strategy might be completed in advance, and the search for America would not be so urgent.
"Your Highness, we don't know what sweet potatoes you are talking about, but we do bring a lot of things we want to give you, and there may be something you need."
Sai Qunxiong immediately said that after a few months of communication with Wang Dewei and what he saw and heard with his own eyes, he also knew that Datang was not any place he knew - you must know that Sai Qunxiong was a famous wise man in their tribe, he had traveled since he was a teenager, he had traveled far away, and even went to South America (of course, in Sai Qunxiong's mouth, America would definitely not be called America), and he had seen the glory of the Moche civilization there (before the emergence of the three major civilizations, the most developed civilization in the Americas), Originally, he thought that the Moche people had developed civilization to the limit, but after seeing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, he realized that compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Moche people could not even compare with a small township in the Tang Dynasty.
So Datang is definitely not in the Americas, that is to say, they have come to another continent, and they probably don't want to return to the Americas in this life.
Since you can't go back, let's live a good life in Datang, it's just that they are a group of outsiders, and the number is only eight, so the population can't even occupy the mountains as bandits, so they rely on their own strength.
If you want to live well in Datang, which is unfamiliar with life, it is definitely impossible.
If you want to live well, the only way is to put a thigh on your side, originally he thought that Wang Dewei was already a big thigh, but he followed Wang Dewei around the sea area of Datang, and after coming to the south of Datang, he understood what a real thigh was......
