Chapter 1410 Holy Wolf (1/2)

After a rest, Brother Wolf continued to clean up the wounds for both of the people, and finally put on the healing medicine for dressing.

Li Du asked, ”Are you okay? Can you walk by yourself?”

The older native man nodded, got onto his feet with the help of a tree branch, and bowed after getting up. ”Thank you, thank you for saving my life. If I had not come across you today, we would have died!”

Brother Wolf frowned. ”Copperhead is not that venomous. How could you become unconscious so soon after being bitten?”

The Native American said, ”I don't know. We've always been like this in our tribe. We are sensitive to the copperhead bushmaster. Our nerves are often numb from a bite.”

”Sensitive towards vipers,” Brother Wolf understood. ”Be careful next time and stay away if you see a snake.”

The boy asked, ”Did you see a helicopter just now? It's got a big box. Did you notice it?”

Li Du said, ”Oh, we saw it. Why are you concerned about the helicopter?”

The boy said, ”We followed the helicopter. Is that the helicopter that the Pittsburgh administration used to drop food and medicine?”

To help the natives and some remote villages, the cities around the Appalachian mountains often send helicopters to drop some daily necessities in the remote mountains, to assist the vulnerable groups.

Listening to the boy's words, Li Du knew he worried too much and said, ”It was a private helicopter, it was supposed to carry something. It didn't drop anything.”

The boy showed a disappointed expression, and muttered, ”Oh, well, the Pittsburgh administration hasn't dropped anything in two months. That's strange.”

The older Markelov grinned. Li Du looked at him and whispered, ”Was it you?”

Big Markelov grinned and said, ”It turned out that these government packages are very nice. We found them once. Clothes, medicine, food and a few tools came from there.”

The two men were exceedingly grateful after Li Du saved them. Li Du wanted to continue on his way, but the locals wouldn't hear of it and invited him and his party for a meal.

.

The two natives were Mohicans. Their tribe was once one of several large Appalachian tribes.

The Mohican people originally lived north of the Catskill Mountains on the upper Hudson River. Their tribal name meant 'Wolf' in their Algonquin language, but the Dutch and English who first discovered them called them riverside Indians because they lived along the river.

Later, the land of the Mohicans was invaded and sold cheaply, and eventually, they left their homeland for the mountains.

By this time, the Mohican tribe had a large number of branches, five of which were the main ones. Each branch was ruled by ancestral leaders and supported by elected advisers.

The young native was named Catulom and the older man's name was Sadisram. They belonged to a small branch of the Mohican tribe called Tavisi.

Catulom, who had the enthusiasm and honesty of a teenager, said, ”If you can, I want you to come to our place. My parents will want to thank you for saving their son.”

Li Du looked at the sky, where the sun was almost setting, and decided that eating a meal with the tribe would be fine. He nodded.

However, he noticed that Sadisram did not seem very pleased with the invitation, and seconded it only half-heartedly.
