Chapter 1415 Door-to-door Business (1/2)

More than twenty white-tailed deer were caught and the hunting party cried in joy.

Ah Ow's status became even higher in the eyes of the Tavisi, and her title of a Holy Wolf has been fully established.

Hakatulama even went forward on purpose to apologize to Li Du and Ah Ow.

Although this man was reckless, he was more straightforward than Sadisram. Li Du had no good impression of Sadisram. He avoided Sadisram when the man tried to talk to him a few times during the hunt.

Dead white-tailed deer were skinned and bloodied on the spot. Living deer were tied up and dragged away as long as they could walk. The ones who had broken bones were tied up and carried.

More than twenty white-tailed deer looked like a lot, but it was not too much for a population of more than fourteen hundred.

On the way back, Li Du asked the chief, ”How much do you hunt usually?”

”That's about what we get in a week. Of course, we have a team. The total amount of our hunt is about ten deer per day,” said the chief.

Because the bobcats and wolves of the Appalachians were hunted so much, there were more deer, goats, and wild boars in the mountains than ever before and the natives could hunt a lot with relative impunity.

The balance was key, of course, if they were to, maintain a healthy deer population. They could not have a big party like the night before that frequently because then it would be difficult for them to get more meat.

If they had Ah Ow to assist them, hunting would naturally become much easier.

On the way, the chief constantly stared at Ah Ow, and Li Du could feel that he was thinking of something. This put him on his guard.

Back in the village, before the rest of the hunting party had returned, the women took over the work of cleaning up the carcasses so that the hunters could rest.

In Li Du's eyes, Americans loved to enjoy life and were lazy, and Native Americans were even more so.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

It was just after noon when they came back, and the hunters seemed to retire for the day. They took a keg of beer to rest in the shade, drink, or play cards for money.

The natives gambled a lot, and many tribes had casinos. In some states, Native Americans did not have to pay taxes on their casinos, and the money they earned was used to feed their tribes.

The chief came to Li Du with some fruit from the mountains. He brought two attendants, who carried two boxes in their hands. They came in and put down the boxes.

Sitting opposite Li Du, the chief invited him to eat some fruit, then beckoned, and his men opened the chest.

Each box contained something different – gold, silver, a glass bottle, and a box of ginseng and other dried precious plants.

Eating a pear, Li Du asked, ”Chief, what are these things for?”

The chief said, ”Trade. I want to trade with you.”

Li Du asked, ”How? These things are very valuable indeed. You want to sell them to me?”

The chief didn't answer. He looked at the dozing Ah Ow next to him and asked, ”The Holy Wolf is the work of God, isn't it?”

Li Du was suddenly alarmed and stared at him. ”You want to buy my pet?”
