Chapter 18: Emma's Little Brother in the Eyes
The Hudson River Basin is long, flowing through Quebec in the north and offshore near Manhattan in the south.
On both sides of the Hudson River, dense primeval forests are overgrown.
This forest is a natural granary gifted by nature to the Moxigan tribe.
It is home to dozens of species of animals, as well as a variety of plants and fungi that can be used.
In the seventeenth century, there was not so much heavy industry, and none of these natural resources were destroyed.
The branches of the trees have sprouted green sprouts, and spring makes everything in the forest look so vibrant.
Sou!
Airplanes!
An American hare, looking for grass, was pinned to the ground by a wooden arrow through its body. Due to the strong inertia, the arrow body trembled after piercing the hare's body, and then slowly calmed down.
Song Hu, dressed in a 17th-century European-style leather coat and a beaver fur coat, walked over and bent down to tie the hare to his waist, which was still twitching and kicking.
"Hehe, the harvest from this trip is really good, it can be described as a fruitful result!"
Around his waist, in addition to the hare that had just been bolted up, there were actually two colorful pheasants.
It has been a few months since Moxi's dry tribe came, and Song Hu and the others have also learned the archery skills with full accuracy.
"Uncle is so amazing!"
Emma saw Song Hu's arrow piercing through the hare's body, and her eyes looked at him with little stars.
Song Hu put the longbow behind his back very stinkily, and said to the little girl with stars in his eyes: "What is this, I can be very powerful, even if a black bear comes, I can kill it alone." In front of the fans, Song Hu's cowhide was blown loudly.
But Emma is very simple, and she believes it.
Emma was wearing a green military coat and a pair of khaki leather boots on her feet, very much in the sixties and seventies of the 21st century.
"This is all natural, pollution-free and feed-free, and in the 21st century, this pheasant alone will cost 1,000 yuan."
Zhao Hongyu swallowed his saliva and whispered to Song Hu.
"Does the leader mean to hunt more depending on the situation?" He blinked.
"Nonsense, there are a lot of wild animals in this era, but there is no wildlife protection law. As long as you can hunt, you can hunt as much as you want, even if you actually hunt black bears, it doesn't matter. ”
In such an era, Zhao Hongyu will not be so brain-dead to pay attention to the protection of wild animals.
As he himself said, in the seventeenth century, the American continent was full of wild animals. As long as you can hunt it, then go hunting, anyway, you can't go wrong with thinking about the belly problem first.
It's a big deal to wait until I'm strong in the future, and I'm announcing some order to get people not to do it.
Besides, this is not the time for the development of hot weapons, and the destruction of wild animals is actually after the eighteenth century.
So, in the seventeenth century, it was too early to worry about this problem, but it was more than a hundred years.
I could have done so for 100 years without having to think about these issues.
Song Hu smiled evilly and nodded to show that he understood.
"Let's look for mushrooms around here, I've been looking for them here for years. It's my secret, and no one else knows it. Emma, the little girl, shared her secret with Zhao Hongyu.
Yes, the little girl Emma was the most mushroom-picking child in the clan in previous years. There was no shortage of mushrooms in their family, because she had a secret, and that was that she knew a place where mushrooms were produced.
The white mist rises in the forest, probably because spring has arrived and the snow and ice are melting. The hot and cold air currents converge, and the temperature difference between hot and cold causes fog as the temperature gradually rises in the early morning.
The towering ancient trees are covered with green moss, and in the thick and thin soil under the trees where five or six people hug, the green plants have just emerged. …,
Some fungi are in full bloom.
"Ha Luha, this is my secret mushroom garden, I know that I will not go empty-handed every time." Seeing those fat mushrooms, the little girl Emma ran over with a cheer and began to pick them non-stop.
Emma, the little girl, put all the mushrooms she picked into her green military crossbody bag and happily hummed an Indian song.
Song Hu let four of his subordinates take charge of guarding the surroundings, and he himself guarded Zhao Hongyu's side.
This forest is a kilometer away from the camp in Mohican, and it is not too far to say that it is not too close. After all, in this era, there are no cars, so you can only rely on your legs.
I don't know when there will be cattle, horses, sheep and other animals to buy and sell in the space-time trader, and it will be much more convenient to buy a few horses at that time.
In today's life, some places are really inconvenient for Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu, who is accustomed to all kinds of transportation, is very helpless about walking wherever he goes.
Even a horse is good.
Unfortunately, he also knew that there were no horses on the American continent.
Therefore, his little dream is still not able to be realized for the time being.
In the 21st century, wild horses gallop on the western plains of the American continent, giving the illusion that there are many horses on the American continent, but this is actually a mistake.
Before the discovery of the American continent, there was no horse as an animal.
The reason why wild horses later appeared on the American continent and grew to tens of millions of dollars is that in the middle of the sixteenth century (after 1550), when the horses carried by the settlers or explorers fled, or when the horses were scattered in their conflict with the Indians, the American wild horses finally appeared.
At its peak, there were more than 10 million wild horses, but that was in the middle of the 18th century.
It's only the beginning of the seventeenth century now, so Zhao Hongyu also knows that if he wants to count on it, he can only count on the space-time trader.
However, this requires its own investment and development.
This space-time trader is dead for money, and if you don't have money to invest, don't think about everything.
Cuckoo!
Crash!
From time to time in the forest, there is an unknown bird's call, or the sound of some kind of bird touching the branches and leaves as it flies in the forest.
Over time, the sun slowly rises. The sunlight finally dispelled the white mist and cleared the view.
About a hundred meters away from Zhao Hongyu and them, a small stream about five or six meters wide appeared there.
"I said why is the fog so big, there was a stream in front of me for a long time." After seeing the creek that day, Zhao Hongyu turned his head and said something to Song Hu.
The fog in the forest had been dispelled by the sun, but above the stream, a faint white mist still rose from the sunlight.
It's really fresh, I can't see such a scenery in the 21st century, at least there are very few in China.
Zhao Hongyu sighed.
"Brother, I've picked a lot of mushrooms, and when I get back, I'll ask my mother to make mushroom soup for you!"
Emma, who had already picked a bag of mushrooms, trotted all the way to run over happily.
The little one's face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Probably because Zhao Hongyu traveled over and became younger in this era, Emma likes to call him brother.
Zhao Hongyu did not object to this title, after all, his appearance and his own attribute bar on the system are displayed, and he is only 15 years old.
Compared to Emma, he is really not much 'big' now.
"Emma is so capable, I've already picked so many mushrooms, I think the mushroom pickers in the Moxie tribe can be Emma!" , Zhao Hongyu said to Emma half-jokingly and half-praised. …,
Listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, the smile on Emma's face became even stronger.
She raised her little face slightly, pursed her pink little mouth and tilted her head, making a very proud look.
"My brother is right, every time I am the child who picks the most mushrooms, none of them can compare to me!" , a child is a child, and Emma immediately cocked her tail to the sky when she was praised by Zhao Hongyu like this.
Emma likes to chat with Zhao Hongyu, in addition to Zhao Hongyu saving herself, and Zhao Hongyu's 'good-looking' is comfortable, his sweet mouth also has a lot to do with it.
The Moxie tribe educates children, and basically does not encourage and praise them. No matter how good you do, parents always nod and count with a straight face.
This approach can sometimes disappoint children and even discourage them.
Zhao Hongyu is different, he is a man of the 21st century.
His education and experience were not what the Moxie Dry people could have imagined.
Although Zhao Hongyu has never been married, he has no experience in children and raising children. But if I haven't eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run, after all, in the era of the information explosion, he knows more or less.
Therefore, he has a very different style of dealing with people.
This also makes Moxie dry tribe, both adults and children, very fond of him.
Of course, everyone is also very sorry, because Zhao Hongyu is really an 'ugly monster'. It would be nice if he could have some tattoos on his face, or a little more angular......
If Zhao Hongyu knew the thoughts of Mo Xigan and these people, it is estimated that he would have the heart to die.
You must know that Zhao Hongyu is very satisfied with his young appearance now.
I think that at the beginning, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was rated as a school grass boy with this appearance. From junior high school to high school and even college, many seniors couldn't resist pursuing him.
It's pitiful to see that such a delicate appearance is actually said to be an 'ugly monster' in the dry Moxie tribe, and he is really sad.
However, people's aesthetics are different, and this cannot be forced.
Just as Emma is a cute and cute little Lori in Zhao Hongyu's eyes, isn't she called 'ugly eight' by other children?
Emma walked over and stood in front of Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and played with her head, and the funny little girl pouted and played with him.
In the forest, crisp laughter suddenly echoed......
