Chapter 7 Try It Out

  The old chief lay on a wooden bed in the center, with thick animal hides under him.

  Several Indian women, under the direction of a sorceress dressed like a peacock, continually circled around the old tribal chief, shaking their bodies wildly.

  After circling around five or six times, the Indian women stretched out their arms and began to swing back and forth in front of the elderly tribal leader who was lying down.

  Zhao Hongyu knew that this was a kind of 'witchcraft' from the Indian tribe, used to expel illness.

  If someone treated Zhao Hongyu with this method, Zhao Hongyu would definitely retaliate with old fists. However, the Indians on the American continent in 1620 were very believing in witchcraft.

  The shaman was chanting something that even his own tribespeople couldn't understand, sometimes raising his hands high and sometimes stomping his feet, while his voice rose and fell with the movement.

  "This is just like jumping into a trance, we also have this kind of thing in Northeast China, it's much more interesting than what this shaman did."

  Watching the wizard's performance, Song Hu, who had a slightly silly personality, touched his nose and whispered a sentence.

  "Shh, don't talk nonsense, we're in someone else's tribe."

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongyu scolded Song Hu in a low voice.

  Song Hu smiled and closed his mouth, but from his expression, he really looked down on the wizard's performance.

  Zhao Hongyu was puzzled in his heart, how did the genetic people inside this time-space trading device even know about jumping gods?

  This is also too magical.

  Ati Doco did not notice Zhao Hongyu's slight movement, his eyes remained on his father who had begun to faint, never leaving for a moment.

  His father was the leader of this tribe. If something went wrong, he could take over as the new leader, but he would not curse his own father just because of that relationship.

  He himself was well aware that he was too young.

  He worried that if his father had an accident, he would inherit the great power of the tribe and could not bear it.

  At the same time, there are also opponents in this tribe, and he may not be able to suppress them.

  Across from Atido was a robust man with a shaved head, wearing a necklace made of bones around his neck, sitting there with a gloomy gaze.

  His name was 'Black Bear', the bravest warrior in the tribe. Many young people in the tribe idolized him as a role model.

  And black bears often have conflicts with their fathers due to some ideological issues.

  Fortunately, Father's prestige is very high and can suppress the black bear.

  But if Father is gone, the black bear will probably make trouble.

  Ati's worries are not unreasonable, because Hei Xiong is also quite popular.

  With no more oppression from his father, Black Bear became the new chieftain. Where would he lead the tribe to?

  Atidu knew that the black bear had always been unfavorable to the 'white skin', he thought these white skins were all some bad guys. He disapproved of dealing with the white skin, and even led the warriors in the tribe to fight against the 'white skin'.

  Unfortunately, the black bear's idea was completely vetoed by his father.

  Also because of his father's prestige, the young people in the clan suppressed this idea.

  However, the idea of the black bear is not without market in the clan.

  If Zhao Hongyu knew what Hei Xiong was thinking and the plan he wanted to carry out, it's not certain that he would applaud and cheer.

  For the emergence of an Indian angry youth, Zhao Hongyu is still very happy to see.

  Actually, Atidu also understood 'Hei Xiong', his son was killed by the 'Bai Pi'. It's no wonder he hated the 'Bai Pi' so much, it was a vendetta for killing his son.

  And his daughter was also injured in the fall because she accidentally entered the defensive range of the white people's camp and did not understand their warnings, and was shot by a weapon that made a loud noise.

  His little daughter's wound has completely festered. If she doesn't receive treatment soon, her leg might be unsalvageable.

  It's nothing if I lose a leg, but what worries me most is that lovely Emma might die.

  "The two kids are like 'black bears' now that his son is dead. If his daughter dies too, he will really go crazy."

  Now Father has appeared in such a situation, it is hard to guarantee that 'Hei Xiong' will not become the tribe leader after Father's death and lead the tribesmen to take revenge.

  Atti actually understood the 'black bear' very well, but his father had said that the weapons of the 'white skins' were really formidable. Moreover, they lived behind wooden palisades, and the Mohican warriors would pay a great price to take them down.

  So, after capturing the stronghold of the 'white skin', Mo Si Gan himself will also suffer heavy casualties. Next, it's hard to guarantee that some hostile tribes won't be provoked, so sometimes personal revenge can't compare to the importance of the tribe.

  It's precisely because Ati knows his father's concerns that he is so worried.

  Unfortunately, 'Hei Xiong' has been blinded by hatred and won't care about all that.

  Now he is waiting, waiting for his father to breathe his last...

  For some things in the Mosigang tribe, Zhao Hongyu didn't care at all, because it had nothing to do with him.

  At this time, Zhao Hongyu secretly took a look at the old patriarch lying in the center and found that his eyes were full of bloodshot, and his lips were slightly blue.

  He didn't know what kind of illness the old leader of the Mocha tribe had contracted.

  At this moment, the Indian women surrounding the old tribal chief picked up some plants from the ground and started to ignite them. The plants emitted thick white smoke, fumigating the old tribal chief's body.

  Everyone is almost tortured to death, and you are still using smoke curing! Is it that you think people's deaths are not slow enough?

  Zhao Hongyu started grumbling in his heart.

  "Attido, what's wrong with your father? Don't hesitate to tell me. I happen to have a kind of medicine here that might be able to cure him."

  Zhao Hongyu looked at these guys 'trampling on human life', and finally couldn't help but pull Ateido, saying a sentence in a low voice.

  Zhao Hongyu said that because he can buy penicillin on the 'Time-Space Trading Platform'.

  In his view, this old tribal leader might have fallen ill in the winter, perhaps contracting a severe cold that went untreated, resulting in inflammation in his body.

  Or there is an inflammatory wound on the body, which led to the current situation.

  If he is deceived by him, he can also establish a good relationship with him.

  Even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter, just hand it over to that wizard.

  Although the Indians of this era were quite savage, if they had once determined that you were their friend, nothing would be too much for them to do for you, even going so far as to fight other tribes on your account.

  This is also a point that Zhao Hongyu admires very much about Indians.

  Besides, Zhao Hongyu also considered another problem, that is, if this place was really within the scope of New York. Then getting along well with the Mohican tribe would be crucial for him.

  With the friendship of the outer Mohican tribe, he can develop slowly by the sea in New York.

  Before following Attido back to the tribe, he had already learned from Attido that in this entire region, the 'Moxigan' tribe was the largest, with a population of over 13,000.

  For Zhao Hongyu now, the Mosigang tribe is a super 'thick thigh', if he doesn't hold it then he's brain damaged.

  A tribe of 13,000 people is absolutely the largest in this area.

  The small Indian tribes around them did not dare to offend them. At the same time, the British also tried to win over the Mohegan tribe and did not dare to neglect them in the slightest.

  Of course, Zhao Hongyu also knew that the British had no good intentions in luring the Miao people's tribes. They just let the Miao people be the vanguard and consume their strength.

  As for the development of the Mosigang tribe, Zhao Hongyu still knew something about it.

  More than a hundred years later, a large Mohican tribe was destroyed during the Seven Years' War between England and France.

  (Note: Not real history, the author fabricated it based on the movie 'The Last of the Mohicans')

  But anyway, that's over a hundred years later, now the Mocha tribe is undoubtedly the big brother of this piece.

  "My father was feeling cold and hot a few days ago, he struggled for a few days before becoming like this, sometimes at night he would talk nonsense." Atidu replied in a low voice, then his eyes flashed: "Brother, do you have medicine? Are you the shaman of your tribe?"

  In Attido's view, those who master the technique of healing must be sorcerers.

  It's not just in the Mohican tribe that all the medicine men who cure illnesses are sorcerers.

  Sometimes cold and sometimes hot, talking nonsense at night.

  After hearing Atti's answer, Zhao Hongyu felt much more at ease.

  According to Atidu, this is what happens when you catch a cold and don't treat it properly.

  It's as if heaven is helping me!

  Zhao Hongyu shouted loudly in his heart.

  "My tribal chief and shaman were both held by my father, so I learned these things from him." Zhao Hongyu thought of a good excuse and looked at Atido with a serious expression. "The illness your father has, we also have people in our tribe who have gotten it, it needs to be treated as soon as possible or else it will be fatal."

  Severe colds can lead to complications and even death in severe cases. Zhao Hongyu did not deceive Atiduo.

  If Atid's father really had a severe cold that caused inflammation, then penicillin would indeed be effective in treating it.

  Zhao Hongyu was very confident about this point.

  If penicillin of the 21st century can't save an Indian chief with a bad cold in 1620, that's an international joke.

  Of course, unless Zhao Hongyu was really unlucky, this Atiduo's father is allergic to penicillin... then there's really nothing that can be done.

  "Attido, if you believe me and let me treat him, I guarantee that your father will recover by tomorrow!"

  After roughly judging, Zhao Hongyu made a serious promise to Atidou.

  Ati pressed his lips together, he didn't know whether or not he should believe this outsider.

  But as his gaze swept over the wizard with a somewhat dull expression and eyes filled with sorrowful light, he made a decision in his heart.

  From the look of it, Father is at death's door.

  Let this outsider try it out then.
