Super Chief

An inland armed transport ship shuttled on the Tennessee River again, and the destination was the Xiaohe Tribe

However, this visit to Xiaohe Tribe was not specifically for trading. The last transaction was not an officially launched transaction. It was just an attempt, but the effect seemed quite good. Moreover, it has only been a month since the last transaction. Even if the Xiaohe tribe has more than 1,500 people, it consumes at most 1,000 pounds of salt in a month. It is still far from the time to trade salt again.

This time Shi Xiong went to the Xiaohe Tribe to visit Baiyun. After so many days of separation, it was a nonsense to say that he didn't want her.

Whether it was the supplies that the Stone Bear extorted from the Okron Fortress or the things that he traded for salt to the British, the Gaoshu tribe made a fortune.

Whether it is food or horses, or cotton, cotton, and the seeds of those crops, the faces of the tribesmen are filled with joy.

Looking back at this time last year, there was not enough food in the tribe, but after only one year, the food in the tribe was full.

And there was only one person who caused all this, and that was the Lord Guardian.

The guardian who has made such a great contribution to the tribe can finally "secretly" use the power in his hand, that is, using an inland river armed transport ship to go to the Xiaohe tribe to privately meet his lover.

No one in the tribe objected to this request of the Guardian, including the wolf tail, which was the last to deal with the stone bear, and just shook his head and stopped speaking.

Originally, after returning from Alcron Fortress, Stone Bear wanted to go to the Xiaohe Tribe, but he did not expect Major Hank to lead the trading team, so Stone Bear had to stay in the tribe for several days. He didn't make time until he sent Major Hank away.

As soon as the ship sailed into the Tennessee River, there was a drizzle in the sky.

It is now the end of February, so Shi Xiong can clearly feel the footsteps of spring in the thin rain.

Staring at the misty drizzle standing on the bow, you can clearly see that some of the big trees on both sides of the river have begun to shoot green sprouts, and looking up, the top of the foggy mountain in the distance has become white for a winter. It's almost melted.

The melting snow on the top of the mountain turned into a stream and merged into a stream. Countless creeks merged into rivers, and finally merged into the wide and jerky Tennessee River, causing the river's water to skyrocket a lot.

In this case, even if it is heading against the wind, the speed of the ship is still very fast.

Kuai Ma walked out of the cabin and stood behind Shi Xiong and whispered: "Dragon Bear, go back to the cabin to take shelter from the rain. The rain is getting worse and worse. The food in the cabin is also ready, brothers in rotation. We are just waiting for you to have dinner."

Shi Xiong shook his head slightly and said: "You eat, I am not hungry now, let me think about something here, and I will return to the cabin after a while."

Kuima was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, turned and walked back to the cabin, Stone Bear plunged into contemplation again under the misty drizzle.

Two days passed in a flash, but after Shi Xiong and the others arrived at the death of the Xiaohe tribe, the spring rain still did not end.

Because of the obstacle of the surrounding mountains, the valley where the Xiaohe Tribe is located is much warmer than outside. When Stone Bear entered the Xiaohe Tribe, he even saw some unknown wild flowers blooming quietly on the side of the road.

"Why did you come to see me for so long?" Bai Yun said complainingly.

Although the drizzle in the sky did not stop, it was much smaller. It would be more appropriate to describe it as drizzle. After dinner, Bai Yun took Shi Xiong out and wandered around. She could see that since Shi Xiong took this girl for a walk after dinner, she also liked this kind of after-dinner exercise.

"Sorry, I encountered something that was not planned. The British came to our tribe to trade, and it was delayed for four or five days, otherwise I would be able to see you a long time ago." Shi Xiong looked at his side with a petting look. Young girl with a smile called happiness on her face.

"Then how did you go to the French fortress? Did you encounter any danger?" At this time, Bai Yun had the liveliness of a girl of this age, and he bent down and pulled out a flower. The wild flower that just bloomed smiled and approached Shi Xiong, "Bent over, I can't reach your head. Come, put on this flower and show me it, it must be very beautiful."

Shi Xiong smiled helplessly, but he bent down obediently. Bai Yun put the flower on Shi Xiong's right ear, then stepped back and looked at Shi Xiong with a smile: "Haha, it looks strange for you to wear this flower."

Shi Xiong smiled and plucked the flower from her ear, walked to Baiyun, and put the flower in her ear affectionately, then clapped his hands and said, "Well, this flower is very suitable for you. People are better than Huajiao!"

"People are better than Huajiao? What do you mean?" Bai Yun asked puzzled.

"This is a sentence from the ancient and mysterious Eastern country, meaning that you are more beautiful than this flower. This is a word of praise."

"Really? Am I more beautiful than this flower?" The Indian girl did not have the restraint of the Chinese girl, especially after receiving the praise from her lover, the girl happily went around in two circles.

"Yes, you are much more beautiful than this flower. A hundred of these flowers are not as good as you." Shi Xiong praised from the heart.

Beauty is in the eyes of the lover, not to mention the beauty of Baiyun itself.

"Well, I forgive you for coming to see me late." The girl happily took Shixiong's arm, and the two walked side by side under the drizzle.

The sky was getting dark, and the two of them started to walk back after strolling around.

The girl asked Shixiong: "When will you take me to your tribe? Abba and Mom both want to know."

The problem of girls is not surprising. Among North American Indians, there is no such thing as marriage. Men and women can come together to form a family when they see each other right.

Although Baiyun and Shixiong are not part of the same tribe, if Shixiong takes Baiyun back to the Gaoshu tribe and establishes a family, there is no problem.

Shi Xiong smiled and said, "I want to hold a grand wedding for you when the Green Valley Festival arrives."

"Wedding? Is it the kind of ceremony held when Vasichchu men and women start a family?"

"Yes. The wedding is a very sacred ceremony for men and women who love each other. In the eyes of those Vasichus, this kind of ceremony is held under the witness of the gods they believe in, so their The wedding and their family will be blessed by the god. Although we don’t have this kind of ceremony, I want our relationship and future family to be blessed by the supreme sun god. Don’t you want us to be blessed by the sun **** Blessing?"

"Of course I did." Bai Yun replied without hesitation.

"So, I want to hold such a grand wedding when I take you back to the Gaoshu tribe. Our wedding will definitely be blessed by the sun god. With the blessing of the sun god, our family will make peace in the future. Beautiful, our children will be healthy and healthy, and our relationship will get better and better."

"Will it really be like this?" Bai Yun asked longingly.

"It will be like this." Shixiong replied affirmatively, "Moreover, on the day of the wedding, I will put on you the most beautiful clothes and the most beautiful jewelry, so that you will become this big piece on that day. The most beautiful and happiest bride on earth."

Bai Yun turned his head to look at the big gentleman with a blush on his face, "I really want time to pass faster, the Green Valley Festival is coming soon."

The Green Valley Festival is the grandest festival for the Cherokee and Chekasha tribes. Every year, the Green Valley Festival is held in the harvest month (September) to celebrate the harvest.

Shi Xiong touched Bai Yun's hair affectionately. Shi Xiong had always loved Bai Yun's black and silky hair.

"In fact, it hasn’t been long, and it’s not more than half a year if it’s full. And the reason why I have set our wedding on the Green Valley Festival is because this year our tribe’s food will get a huge harvest. At that time, we will get a huge harvest. The warehouse of the tribe will be full of grain. When we have the wedding, all of your tribe will go, and I can invite them to eat and drink for three days and three nights."

Bai Yun raised his head and asked puzzledly: "Why should we invite everyone in our tribe to go?"

"Haha, when you are holding a wedding, the more guests come, the better. Because the wedding requires not only the blessing of the sun god, but also the blessings of everyone around us, and the more blessings we get, the better ."

"Okay, then I will go back and tell my father and mother that when we hold the wedding, I will invite all the people in our tribe to go." As he said, Bai Yun's face became bitter again, "What about so many people? Where to go? Our tribe is so far away from your tribe that many people in the tribe can't go."

"Hehe, this is fine. On the wedding day, people from our tribe bless us. Then after you live in our tribe for two days, we can return to the Xiaohe tribe for another wedding, so that everyone in your tribe can also do it. Bless us."

Shi Xiong began to quietly instill in Bai Yun the concepts of "marriage" and "return to the door".

"This is a good way. My father and mother have raised me for so many years. If I go to your tribe all of a sudden, they will be sad. If we can come back to see them often, they will be very happy. Uh, there are green Skylark and Stonehammer..."

"Well, that's for sure. After we set up a family, as long as we have time, I will come back with you to see your father and mother. When we have children, we can also bring them to visit. they."

"Then I can rest assured." Bai Yun smiled like a flower.

Just talking and laughing, the two slowly walked back to the Xiaohe tribe, arm in arm. When they entered the Xiaohe tribe, the two also met many tribesmen. When these tribes saw the young couple, they all had smiles on their faces and greeted them one after another. At the same time, they also sent their blessings... .

At this moment, Shi Xiong suddenly felt that it was good for him to come into this world...
