After the girls were rejected, they never came back to ask them for another drink.
Instead, a lot of men came over to toast with them, with a respectful attitude. Li Du and the whole group thought it might be inappropriate to refuse their toasts and so they drank bowl after bowl of wine.
As a result more and more toasts kept coming; Li Du broke out in cold sweat looking at the long line of the people waiting to toast with him. He didn't understand why there were so many people, so he asked for help.
It just so happened that the tribal secretary, Marsali, was beside Li Du. He inquired, ”Hi, madam, why does everyone come to us for a toast?”
Marsali chuckled and explained, ”Two reasons. First, we Hopis are warm and friendly people. Second, they saw the video of the confrontation you had with the Navajo. They sincerely admire you for that, so they each want to personally give you a toast.”
Li Du could not refuse such goodwill.
If ten men were a single unit, then tons of units queued up in front of Li Du in an orderly manner, forming a long line.
The queue over at Hans was much shorter. He looked at Li Du, who was forcing himself to maintain a smile, and started to gloat, ”Ha! Bud, you're like the winner of the 19th century Texas gold mine—everyone's queuing up waiting to give you a f*ck!”
Li Du glared at him. ”Fine,” he sneered, a creepy look in his eyes. ”You've annoyed me, I want revenge.”
Hans was afraid of his little tricks and hastily said, ”I'm just joking—”
Before he could finish talking, Li Du dragged Hans over and started to announce,
”My fellow warriors, I'm not the only one, my brother and I faced the Navajos together!”
”No, no, no, I didn't.” Hans waved his hand as if it were cramping.
Someone asked, ”Why didn't we see him in the video?”
Hans nodded. ”Yes, yes, yes, this warrior is right.”
Li Du already had an answer prepared: ”Although you can't see him in the video, half of the credit should be his! Think about it, who do you think made the video? Yes everyone, it's my brother here!
”When he started recording the video, the Navajos threatened him, insulted him and also beat him up so he would not take the video. But he's not afraid of threats and insisted on recording the truth!”
Li Du spoke with great emotion, and Hans listened with his mouth agape.
Turis patted his shoulders and said, ”Well done, Big Fox! I didn't know you were so brave.”
The Hopis looked at him in admiration and soon enough, the queue in front of Li Du was split into two, with the other half coming for Hans.
Hans raised his bowl of wine in despair. ”Let's drink, drink till the last breath!”
Li Du released the little bug to consume his energy while he drank. In this way, the alcohol was converted to energy so that he would not get drunk easily.
The Native Americans respected men who could drink. Li's forthright manner in drinking successfully won their respect—every now and then cheers and applause could be heard.
Throughout the whole celebration, he was like the groom in a wedding who had to accept all the drinks toasted to him and frequently made runs to the restroom.
