Chapter 8 (1/2)
The name of the tribe where Gao Niu's cousin Li Lei lives is very simple, which is called ”Gao Shu”.
The reason why we call this name is very simple, that is, there is a large area of American giant fir with the name of ”world Lord” growing near this tribe!
The stone bear from later generations has seen a lot, but he did not expect that in this era, there were so many American giant fir growing near dawushan National Forest Park, which is very close to the east coast of North America. If it was put in later generations, it would definitely cause a boom.
You know, after more than 200 years, the giant fir of the United States can only be found in the Nevada mountains of California. In most areas of the United States and Canada, there are no such giant trees that can easily grow to 78 meters high and 56 meters in diameter at breast height.
The most important thing is that American giant fir is suitable for growing in cold mountain areas. But in this area where gaoshu tribe is located, the altitude is at most 300 meters. How can so many giant fir grow?
Stone bear is not a botanist, so he can't explain this magical situation. But stone bear, who is familiar with history, knows very well that during the westward movement of the Americans, Dawu Mountain used to be an important source of timber on the east coast. In this era, environmental protection or something is a joke, so when the American people's Congress scale westward movement began, more than 3000 logging workers in this area began to cut down.
Perhaps, these magical giant trees were all cut down by those lumbers at that time, resulting in the absence of such thick giant trees in the Appalachian Mountains.
Seeing these giant trees, the stone bear also understood how the canoe used to cross the Tennessee river just now came from
Compared with the longmaoniu tribe, the number of gaoshu tribe is much larger. Fifty or sixty wooden houses are scattered in this valley. According to the number of wooden houses, the population of gaoshu tribe is at least about 300. Even if we look at the whole Cherokee tribe, it is a medium-sized tribe, far less than the longhair cattle tribe.
However, it's no wonder that the changmaoniu tribe was actually separated from the gaoshu tribe. In fact, it was a branch of the gaoshu tribe.
In the center of the tribe, there is a big wooden house which is obviously bigger than other houses.
Shi Xiong knew that if he had not guessed wrong, this particularly large wooden house would be the ”Council hall” of gaoshu tribe. This kind of assembly hall was found in almost every Indian tribe. There was also a assembly hall in front of longmaoniu tribe, but its scale was much smaller than that of gaoshu tribe.
The assembly hall is the most important building in a tribe. As long as there is a large gathering in the tribe, the flame will burn in front of the assembly hall, and all the people of the tribe will gather in the assembly hall. When the Green Valley Festival, the most important festival of the Cherokee people, comes, the assembly hall will hold the ceremony of first fruit and new fire, which is almost the most important ceremony of the Cherokee people.
A large group of people came out of the tribe's wooden house and stood in front of their own wooden house, watching Gao Niu and his party.
Of course, the stone bear can also clearly see that many of the people in the gaoshu tribe are secretly pointing out to themselves. Every time they look at them, they all turn their heads, but the surprise on their faces is obvious.
Stone bear grins bitterly and shakes his head. He knows that this is the side effect of this body.
Ever since he could open his eyes, the stone bear knew that his soul seemed to be attached to an extraordinary body after more than 250 years.
Without him, this body of silly head is really wonderful. Even if it is put in later generations, this body can definitely be called a top body.
