Chapter 189

An inland river armed transport ship once again shuttled across the Tennessee River to the creek tribe

However, this time I went to Xiaohe tribe not for trading. The last trading was not officially launched. It was just a try, but the effect seemed quite good. And it's only a month since the last trade. Even though there are more than 1500 people in Xiaohe tribe, they can consume 1000 pounds of salt at most in a month. It's far from time to trade salt again.

This time, Shi Xiong went to Xiaohe tribe to visit Baiyun. After so many days apart, he said he didn't want her. That's a lie.

Whether it's the materials that the stone bear extorted from okron fortress, or the things that they traded salt to the British, the gaoshu tribe made a windfall.

Whether it's food or horses, or cotton, cotton, or the seeds of those crops, all make people in the tribe happy.

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 of warehouses.

And all this is caused by only one person, that is the guardian.

The guardian who has made so much contribution to the tribe can finally "secretly" use his power, that is to use an inland river armed transport ship to meet his lover in private.

No one in the tribe objected to the guardian's request, including the wolf's tail, which was the worst thing to deal with with the stone bear, just shook his head and said nothing.

Originally, after returning from okron fortress, the stone bear wanted to go to Xiaohe tribe, but unexpectedly, major hank led the trading team, so the stone bear had to stay in the tribe for several days. It was not until major hank was sent away that he made time.

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

Now it is the end of February, so the stone bear can clearly feel the pace of spring from the thin rain.

Staring at the drizzle, standing in the bow of the boat, you can clearly see that some of the trees on both sides of the river have begun to sprout. Looking up from afar, the fog has been white on the top of the mountain for a long time, and the "white head" in winter has almost melted.

The snowmelt at the top of the mountain turned into a stream. Countless streams merged into rivers, and finally merged into the broad and rebellious Tennessee River, which made the river soar a lot.

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

The horse came out of the cabin, stood behind the stone bear and said in a low voice: "big bear, go back to the cabin to take shelter from the rain. It's raining harder and harder. The food in the cabin is ready, and the brothers in rotation are waiting for you to have dinner. "

Stone bear slightly shook his head and said: "you eat, I'm not hungry now. Let me think about something here. I'll go back to the cabin later."

The horse was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, turned and walked back to the cabin. The stone bear braved the drizzle and fell into meditation again.

Two days passed quickly, but after the stone bears arrived at the death of Xiaohe tribe, the spring rain still did not end.

Because of the high mountains around, the valley of Xiaohe tribe is much warmer than outside. When the stone bear entered Xiaohe tribe, he even saw some unknown wild flowers blooming quietly on the roadside.

"Why did you come to see me so long?" White cloud some complain of say.

Although the drizzle in the air has not stopped, it is much smaller. It is more appropriate to describe it as a drizzle. After dinner, Baiyun pulls the stone bear out and walks around. It can be seen that since the stone bear took the girl out for a walk after dinner, she also likes this kind of after dinner sports.

"I'm sorry, something happened that wasn't planned. The British have come to our tribe to trade. It's four or five days' delay. Otherwise, I would have come to see you. " Stone bear with doting eyes looking at the girl around, with a smile called happiness on his face.

"How did you do when you went to the French fortress? Is there any danger? " At this time, the white cloud had the liveliness that a young girl of this age should have. With words, he bent down and pulled out a wild flower that had just bloomed. He came to the stone bear with a smile and said, "bend down, I can't reach your head. Come on, let me have a look at this flower. It must be beautiful. "

Stone bear helpless wry smile for a while, but still obedient bent down. Baiyun put the flower in the right ear of the stone bear, then stepped back to look at the stone bear and said with a smile, "ha ha, it looks strange when you wear this flower."

The stone bear laughingly picked the flower from her ear, went to Baiyun, and put it in her ear. Then he clapped his hands and said, "well, this flower is very suitable for you. People are more beautiful than flowers! "

"People are more beautiful than flowers? What do you mean White cloud doesn't understand of ask a way.

"This is a saying from the ancient and mysterious oriental country, which means that you are more beautiful than this flower. It's a compliment. "

"Really? Am I more beautiful than this flower? " Indian girls do not have the reserve of Chinese girls, especially after being praised by their lovers, the girls happily turn around two circles.

"Yes, you are much more beautiful than this flower. A hundred of them are not as good as you Stone bear's heartfelt praise.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not to mention the beauty of the white cloud itself.

"Well, I forgive you for coming to see me late." The girl happily took the stone bear's arm, and they walked side by side in the drizzle.

It was getting dark, and after a walk, they began to go back.

When will you take me to your tribe? My father and mother want to know. "

It's not surprising that there is no marriage among North American Indians. If men and women look at each other correctly, they can come together to form a family.

Although Baiyun and Shixiong are not of the same tribe, it's still no problem if they take Baiyun back to gaoshu tribe and form a family.

The stone bear said with a smile, "I want to hold a grand wedding for you when the Green Valley Festival comes."

"Wedding? Is that the kind of ceremony that was held when the men and women of vasichu formed a family? "

"Yes. Wedding is a very sacred ceremony for men and women who love each other. In the eyes of vasichu, the ceremony was held in the presence of the god they believed in, so their wedding and their family would be blessed by that God. Although we don't have this kind of ceremony, I want to let our feelings and future families get the blessing of the supreme Sun God. Don't you want us to be blessed by the sun god? "

"Of course." Baiyun answered without hesitation.

"So I want to hold such a grand wedding when I take you back to gaoshu tribe. Our wedding will be blessed by the sun god. With the blessing of the sun god, our family will be harmonious and beautiful in the future, our children will be healthy, and our feelings will be better and better. "

"Is that true?" White cloud longed to ask a way.

"It will be." The stone bear answered positively, "moreover, on the day of the wedding, I will give you the most beautiful clothes and the most beautiful jewelry, so that you can become the most beautiful and happiest bride in this land on that day."

Baiyun turned his head and looked at the big man with a gentle face. A blush appeared on his face. "I really want time to pass quickly. Green Valley festival will come soon."

The Green Valley Festival is the biggest festival of the Cherokee and chekasa people. Every year, the Green Valley Festival is held in the harvest month (September) to celebrate the harvest.

The stone bear touched Baiyun's hair intimately. For Baiyun's black and soft hair, the stone bear can't put it down.

"In fact, it doesn't take long, and it's only half a year. And the reason why I set our wedding on the Green Valley Festival is that our tribe will get a huge harvest of food this year. The warehouse of our tribe will be full of grain. When we have a wedding, all the people of your tribe will go, and I can treat them to eat and drink for three days and three nights. "

Baiyun raised his head and asked, "why should we invite all the people of our tribe to go?"

"Ha ha, when a wedding is held, the more guests come, the better. Because weddings need not only the blessing of the sun god, but also the blessing of everyone around us, and the more blessings we get, the better

"Well, then I'll go back to my parents and say, when we have a wedding, I'll invite all the people of our tribe to go." With that, Baiyun's face became bitter again. "How can so many people go? Our tribe is so far away from your tribe that many people in the tribe can't go. "

"Ha ha, this is no problem. On the wedding day, people from our tribe gave us their best wishes. Then after you live in our tribe for two days, we can go back to Xiaohe tribe and hold a wedding, so that all the people in your tribe can bless us

Shi Xiong began to instill the concept of "marriage" and "return door" into Baiyun.

"This is a good way. My father and mother have supported me for so many years. If I go to your tribe all at once, they will be sad. If we can come back to see them often, they will be very happy. Er, and the green Skylark and the stone hammer... "

"Well, that's for sure. When we have a family, I will come back with you to see your parents as long as I have time. When we have children, we can bring them to visit them. "

"Then I'm relieved." White clouds smile like flowers.

Just talking and laughing, they walked back to Xiaohe tribe hand in hand. When they entered the Xiaohe tribe, they also met many tribal people. When they saw the couple, they all smile, say hello one after another, and send their blessings

At this moment, the stone bear suddenly felt that it was good to come to this world
