Chapter 501 Becoming the leader of the Hopi people
While everyone was laughing and fishing, Su Lie looked a little stern: "Captain."
Yuchi Baoqi turned around and saw a large number of Native Americans, also known as "Indians" in later generations.
They wore vests made of leather, and ornaments made of animal bones, teeth, and gems hung around their necks. The old man who looked like a leader wore a crown full of eagle tail feathers on his head.
The old man walked and stood five meters away from Yuchi Baoqi, crossed his arms, covered his right chest with his left hand, and covered his left chest with his right hand, bending slightly to show his goodwill and respect.
Yuchi Baoqi's look at the old man didn't mean that the visitor was unkind, so he wanted to find out the other party's intentions first.
"Jeata?"
The old man was stunned. He obviously did not expect that Yuchi Baoqi could actually speak their language, and he could not even find a fault. As the leader of the 300,000 Hopi people, Snuma looked at Yuchi who could speak fluent Navajo in surprise. Baoqi.
Yuchi Baoqi smiled slightly: "No need to be surprised. Are you here to find me?"
This time, not only Shi Numu was shocked, but also the honor guard of nearly a hundred people following him.
Shi Numu was completely convinced: "Noble person, I think... I want my people to live a stable life, at least live well..."
Shi Numu took a step forward out of excitement. Su Lie took a step forward and looked very alert. Shi Numu looked at Su Lie with fear in her eyes.
Yuchi Baoqi glanced at Su Lie, who backed away, and Shi Numu breathed a sigh of relief: "We are not from Kiche, we...we just want to live well and live our lives peacefully."
Yuchi Baoqi was puzzled: "Who is from Kiche?"
Snumu: "They are more brutal than the Toltecs in the south. They slaughter, plunder, and murder wantonly. We are really different from them."
Yuchi Baoqi called out to Mai'er in his mind: "Call that guy with influence and ask him to check what the history of this tribe is like."
Xiaomai'er held up her little skirt: "Brother, he is in the process of fertilizing influence. The recent iteration of sweet potatoes has not gone well. Either they are too small, almost like peanuts, or they are so sweet that they require insulin before they can be eaten. I'll give them to you." Check it?"
Yuchi Baoqi motioned to her to figure it out and wait for her news.
"We found it! The Hopi tribe, Snumu, is translated as 'peaceful people' in their language. They are good at divination, astrology, calendars, planting, and exploration, and have a strong sensitivity to mineral origins."
Yuchi Baoqi slapped his thigh, why don't you take it out? He quickly took two steps and arrived in front of Shi Numu: "Do you want a stable life or a better life? A stable life has already arrived for the tribes you are willing to cooperate with. A better life depends on whether you are willing to step out. That step.”
Shi Numu didn't even think about it. It was obvious that this visit to Yuchi Baoqi was something that had been discussed for a long time. Shi Numu took off her feather crown and put it directly on Yuchi Baoqi's head, then took off her necklace and put it away. In the hands of Yuchi Baoqi.
Yuchi Baoqi wore a feather crown and looked at the people in front of her. They suddenly knelt down and spread their arms. Shi Numu drew a few patterns on Yuchi Baoqi's chest with her fingers, and then grabbed Yuchi Baoqi's arm.
"Snumu!"
"Snumu!"
The crowd shouted one after another, and one wave after another drowned out the other. Yuchi Baoqi quickly checked the encyclopedia: "Mai'er! What's going on?"
Xiaomai'er changed into a doctor's outfit and looked at the information in her hand wearing round glasses that were about the same size as her face: "Snumu is the title of the leader of the Hopi tribe. That old man gave you the title of Snumu. You need to fulfill the obligations of 'Snumu', which is to protect and care for the tribe."
Yuchi Baoqi felt much better after knowing that they had no ill intentions. Soon the crowd stood up and used wooden boards to lift Yuchi Baoqi up in a sitting position. Su Lie wanted to stop him, but Yuchi Baoqi stopped him with his eyes. Su Lie had no choice but to follow Yuchi. Beside Baoqi.
Li Tai and the others have no interest in sweet potatoes now. Yuchi Baoqi was carried away by others, so they must chase after him to see.
The Hopi tribesman held a leather drum and beat, and the person leading the way danced various complicated war dances. They walked for a long time, over mountains, through forests, and across streams. Finally, in a valley, the Hopi The tribe's city appeared in front of Yuchi Baoqi's eyes.
The entire city is well planned. The highest building in the center is where sacrifices are made and for observing the stars. The shorter buildings on both sides are where sacrifices and leaders live. Next are the settlements of various ethnic groups. The innermost part of the entire city is Three important buildings wrap it up.
Yuchi Baoqi was carried to the central stone avenue. Along the way, enthusiastic Hopi people began to appear to join the queue of war dancing and beating leather drums.
As Yuchi Baoqi was lifted higher and higher, he saw an old man holding a scepter standing outside the highest altar in the center. His eyes were slightly closed and he was reciting unknown sentences.
Yuchi Baoqi was put down, and the old man picked up the scepter and pointed it on Yuchi Baoqi's shoulder: "May the gods bless you, let the eagle be your eyes, the bear be your body, and the power of the gods infuse your soul. .”
Yuchi Baoqi subconsciously asked the old man from before, Shi Numu: "Snumu?"
The old man patted Yuchi Baoqi on the shoulder: "You are Snumu, my name is Fenton."
The Hopi people couldn't help but laugh when they heard the conversation between Yuchi Baoqi and Fenton. After the priest nodded to indicate that Snumu's coronation ceremony was over, the Hopi people came towards Yuchi Baoqi one after another and put their Flowers were thrown to Yuchi Baoqi.
Fenton took two steps away to let Yuchi Baoqi accept the flower blessings from the Hopi people. He smiled and looked at Yuchi Baoqi, who was almost surrounded by people in front of him.
Yuchi Baoqi turned to look at Fenton: "Hey! Just watch! I'll bury it later!"
After finally holding on until the blessing was over, Yuchi Baoqi's body was already covered with flower fragments and juice. Fenton handed him a towel made of coarse linen. Yuchi Baoqi wiped it with a few times but it was of no use, so he simply gave up.
"Well, it's getting late, I have to leave, bye."
"Ariel, let's retreat!"
Fenton was an old man but not weak in strength. He took Yuchi Baoqi's arm and pointed to the shorter building above: "Snumu needs to stay at least one night next to the temple. This is customary. "
Yuchi Baoqi was helpless. Li Tai and the others were dragged to eat by the Hopi tribe. Even the cold-faced Su Lie could not withstand the offensive of the Hopi tribe. Only Yuchi Baoqi was alone at Shi Numu's residence next to the temple. Stay there, you haven’t eaten yet.
As the night came, Yuchi Baoqi thought to just take a nap and go back to Li Tai's place for some food tomorrow, when she heard a knock on the door.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
