Chapter 228 Yemane’s Worries
The ancestor warriors of the Yemane tribe passed through the ice fields and forests and came to the place Lily mentioned.
In the snow, the traces left by Charlie when he was looking for snakes were still clearly visible, but the sky was gradually getting darker. As the light dimmed, these ancestral warriors could no longer distinguish the traces on the ground.
"It's already getting late, we can't rush on our way." An ancestral warrior looked up at the sky and said to Lily's father, who was leading the team.
Lily's father also looked up at the sky, nodded and said, "Let's find a place to spend the night. We will move on tomorrow morning."
Although it is dangerous for these natives to spend the night in the wild, a group of ancestral warriors can not resist the threats posed by the night.
They quickly found a tree hole formed by a fallen tree in the forest. After clearing away the snow and dead branches, they quickly sorted out a place to stay. .
Then they lit a bonfire with the tinder they brought with them. A group of people sat around the bonfire, warming their bodies that were about to be frozen. They took out the dry food they carried and put it on the bonfire. Bake it and prepare it for dinner in the evening.
Their main food source is corn, but they also mix it with beans and other vegetables and put it together to make cakes or bread.
What they eat now is a kind of cornbread made from corn as the main raw material, with some chickpeas and chopped vegetables baked in it. After being heated over the fire, it is a pretty good meal. food.
Of course, you can also fill a bowl or jar with snow water and put it on the fire to boil, then tear the bread into pieces and cook it into a paste to eat, to provide more calories for the body.
Others’ cornbread was basically filled with beans and vegetables, and a few young ancestor warriors even carried ordinary cornbread.
This has a lot to do with the fact that they are not married yet. Several of the older ancestral warriors are already married and have children. They have wives at home to take care of the housework. Naturally, they carry with them the meticulous care of their respective wives. Made dry food.
But young ancestral warriors do not have this treatment. As adults, they are separated from their parents early. They have to make more food by themselves, and the natural quality and sophistication are lower.
But among everyone, Lily’s father ate the best, because his cornbread actually contained a few pieces of meat that had been cooked with spices. An alluring fragrance comes out.
"I'm so envious. Lily made this for you, right? It's great to have a daughter! Unlike the brat in my family who couldn't even catch a rabbit." An ancestor warrior praised Lily's craftsmanship, and then he didn't forget it. He said jokingly: "I really don't know which brat Lily will take advantage of in the future. It would be such a blessing to marry a girl as smart as Lily! If I hadn't been older, I would have wanted to pursue her."< br>
"You all should have a rest, Lily doesn't look down on you rough guys." Lily's father was smiling, and while responding to everyone's jokes, he also talked about their trip. Purpose: "Speaking of which, what do you think is the purpose of the white people coming to the North?"
This question suddenly made the atmosphere darken, and everyone lost their smiles on their faces, and their expressions became solemn.
White people are a huge threat to the indigenous people. In some tribes, this can even cure children crying at night. The various tricks that the white people in this world played when they occupied the New World were even worse than those of the Angsa gangs in the original world of Purfico. For most indigenous tribes, the white people were the ones who destroyed their homes. White-skinned devil.
And unlike the original world, the indigenous people in this world did not regard the white people as gods. They had firmly resisted the invaders from the beginning.
It’s just that the difference between the two worlds has not brought about qualitative changes. The indigenous people are still no match for industrial civilization, although the ancestor spirits have indeed given them powerful power to fight against those extraordinary knights.
But how many people can a tribe have? And for an empire that had begun to enter the age of gunpowder, even if muskets and cannons were not considered, the number of extraordinary beings alone far exceeded the local natives.
So, the resistance of the indigenous people was crushed, and so were their homes.
Now the ancestral warriors of the Wild Mane tribe are discussing the purpose of the white people coming to the north, and they can't help but think about the worst situation.
"Aren't they satisfied with the fertile land in the south, and don't even want to spare the forests in the north?" An ancestral warrior made a guess that was completely different, but it hit the mark.
"It's hard to say, the white people are very powerful, their warriors and their weapons..." Another ancestral warrior shook his head and disagreed with this guess: "But they don't have a strong will and can't adapt to the North. Due to the wind and snow in the border, usually they will not go north easily, especially in this cold season.
We have seen white people several times before, and they only came here for so-called 'exploration'. I think it may be the same this time.”
It is not that the Wild Mane tribe has not encountered white people who came to the north, but those are basically after the beginning of spring, most of them are concentrated in the summer, and most of them are just like. Teams like the exploration team are not here to settle permanently or do anything.
This also made this ancestral warrior have a certain degree of optimism about the arrival of the white people, feeling that things would not develop to the worst extent.
But at this time Lily's father shook his head and said: "If it was just an exploration team, there would be no white warriors among them. Lily told me that what she met in the afternoon were white ancestral warriors. Although they did not have ancestral spirits, they Their strength is not inferior to that of the ancestral warriors.
This kind of powerful warrior is also very valuable to the white people. In the past, we have only seen them in the wars when the white people expelled other tribes, never any other. The white man's exploration team was protected by a warrior.
The most important thing is that this white man was sent out to catch the snake. It sounded like the chief suddenly assigned a young ancestral warrior to go out and catch the snake. It’s like a sacrifice to the ancestors’ spirits.”
Lily’s father’s words made everyone’s hearts sink. Of course they understood what was going on. There must be someone with a high status among the white people. People are here, and the appearance of such a noble person in the north is not a small matter that can be taken lightly for the Wild Mane tribe.
Although the Wild Mane tribe lives deep into the north and would not normally have any contact with white people, if something unexpected happens, no one can guarantee that these white people will not do anything to the Wild Mane tribe. .
