1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 2 [Horse Whistle]

Looking at the headshot white body on the ground, Ma Whistle sat down—mainly because of the recoil of the shot.

He was a middle school teacher in his previous life, and the most bloody and brutal experience was killing chickens in the countryside when he was a child. Naturally, he was inexperienced in shooting and killing people, and his body was young, so he felt physically and mentally exhausted after being shot.

It seems that it is better for children not to shoot guns.

Wait, kid? !

Ma Whistle was stunned, and immediately stood up, looked around at this thin and young body, and then suddenly realized his current identity, and at the same time, some scattered and trivial memories kept appearing in his mind.

Reborn?

For this bizarre encounter, within the scope of his cognition, it seemed that there was only one reasonable explanation.

Ma Shao sorted out the memories of the past and present as much as possible, and finally figured out the situation.

He had indeed died of illness, but for some unknown reason, perhaps the intervention of some supernatural being, or perhaps an accidental natural phenomenon, he was reborn.

According to Ma Shuo's understanding, his consciousness may have come out of quantum fluctuations, because the fluctuations happen to be the same as those of a dead Ma Shuo in another time and space, so it is equivalent to rebirth, or "soul wear".

all in all.

He was reborn in nineteenth-century America as an Apache Indian.

The "Apache" in the name of the Apache gunship comes from this brave and combative tribe.

Now, his biological age is... nine years old.

The horse whistle took a few deep breaths to calm down.

After his rebirth, his name was still "Horse Whistle" to some extent. To be precise, it was "Horse Calling Whistle" in the Apache language, and it could be translated as Horse Whistle.

The name Mashao is a bit unusual in Chinese names, but it is a good name that can be passed down from generation to generation in Indian culture.

In fact, that's what was passed down.

The father of this body was called Ma Shao, a brave Apache warrior who was later killed in a conflict with the Arapaho, and the name was passed on to him.

For this rebirth experience, Ma Shao didn't feel any resistance, but joy.

After all, he died of illness in his 20s in his previous life, and now he has suddenly regained his life, and he is only nine years old, so there is no reason why he should be unhappy at such a lively age?

If you are a Christian, you must thank God or something.But he does not believe in gods and Buddhas, he is an agnostic who believes in materialism.

Of course, there are also disadvantages.For example, in the United States in the [-]th century, as an Indian, the situation was definitely not good, not to mention the backward productivity, and the fear of life at every turn.

Just now his clan suffered a massacre - the white men took advantage of the warriors in the clan to go hunting, and slaughtered most of the women and children staying in the clan camp, only a few escaped, which was the reason for the death of this body.

What's more, Ma Shao inevitably has nostalgia for all kinds of past lives.

He misses the Internet, hot pot, mobile phones, and even more his girlfriend.

I can only wish Bingbing happiness, alas...

The horse whistle has no time to miss.

Through the cover of the earth slope beside him, he heard a movement from the camp hundreds of meters away. He didn't know if it was the tribesmen coming back or the white people were doing something.

People in the direction of the camp could not see him for the time being. To be on the safe side, he had to find a safer place to hide.

Of course, before that, he needs to bring his spoils—the things of the white man in front of him.

The horse whistle searched briefly and got the following valuable items:

A bag of coins, including U.S. dollar gold and silver coins, Spanish silver dollars (Spanish silver dollars were one of the most important currencies in circulation in the United States at this time), and some banknotes or bank notes. Generally speaking, it is quite a lot, but he will definitely not be able to spend it for the time being ;
A somewhat crude pocket watch;
a dagger stained with blood;

A leather jacket.

Of course, there is the most practical thing, the muzzle-loading gun, the muzzle-loading flintlock to be precise.

Although Ma Shao’s main job in his previous life was just a middle school physics teacher, there are plenty of part-time jobs on the Internet, such as keyboard strategist, keyboard economist, keyboard politician, keyboard physics... well, physics may not count as keyboard, at least middle school physics certainly doesn't count.

Relying on his own knowledge, he roughly identified it and recognized the model of this gun-a Kentucky long rifle produced in Missouri in 1837.

In fact, it was written on the body of the gun. He mainly used his knowledge of English.

The Kentucky rifles produced in different periods and regions are different, but the common feature is the long barrel. For example, the overall length of this gun is much higher than the current height of the horse post. It is more than 1.5 meters by visual inspection, which is quite a bit inconvenient.

Fortunately, the Kentucky rifle is relatively slender, and the weight is not too heavy.

The Kentucky rifle has a great reputation. During the American Revolutionary War, this gun once made a big splash.

In the famous Battle of Saratoga, the American sniper Moshe Murphy shot and killed the British General Fraser with this gun, which greatly changed the situation of the War of Independence.

Through the text on the gun, the horse sentry also obtained some other information.

This gun was produced in 1837, so naturally, the current time is after 1837, and combined with the memory in the body, it seems that the Mexican-American War in 1846 has not yet been fought.

On the whole, it is probably the early 40s now.

For a more precise AD date, the horse sentry still needs to find someone to inquire about it.The old chiefs or shamans of the clan know more about the outside world, and they should know.

In addition to these few things, there is actually one more valuable thing, and that is the scalp of the white man.

The white man offered a reward for the Indian's scalp, and the Indian also regarded the white man's scalp as an important booty, which at least brought honor.In fact, the scalping of the whites was first learned from the Indians, which is a means for the Indians to record their military exploits.

But the horse whistle can't be used, this thing is too hell.

And he doesn't have this skill, and he might not be able to peel off the blood all over his body after tossing for 10 minutes. If the white people over there find out, he will be finished.

Just run away.

Horse Whistle took these trophies, put on a leather coat that was like a coat to him, and left in a hurry.

He didn't dare to run too far, he just wanted to avoid a group of white people nearby, and he would be safe when the warriors in the clan came back.

Compared with later generations, the United States at this time is quite wild, and the distant world is also very dangerous for a nine-year-old Apache child. People are far from being monolithic, and the only ones who can really be relied on right now are their own small clans.

Ma Shao found a cave and nested in it for a few hours. When it was getting dark, he went out cautiously and touched near the camp.

After walking not far, there was a horse neighing and a shout in Apache language: "Go to hell, white man! The Sleeping Bear Clan wants your blood to pay!"

Ma Shuo quickly took off his leather jacket: "It's me!"

Accompanied by a horse neighing, a young Apache man with two feathers on his head reined in his horse, his eyes were flushed, and he had obviously just cried, and he looked at him in disbelief: "Little whistle... you alive?"

　The names of many Indian tribes are actually foreign. For example, the name "Apache" originated from Spanish, and the Apache people would not call themselves that.Another example is "Comanche", which actually means "enemy" in Utah, and the Comanche people will not use this to call themselves.

　　But later everyone called them that, and all ethnic groups recognized them, and now these are official names.We don’t know exactly when the various ethnic groups started using external names. For convenience, this book uses the mainstream names uniformly, that is, Apache, Comanche, and Navajo.
