North America 1849, from Gold Rush to Warlord

Chapter 48 Nothing is impossible

Azu's words made old Martinez, a white Spanish man, confused in an instant.

It was clearly the Italians funded by the King of Spain who discovered the New World of America.

But why do the Indians, who have lived in the American continent for thousands of years, look exactly like the Chinese in the far east?
how to explain?

Could it be that the Chinese were the first to land in America thousands or tens of thousands of years ago?

When Lao Ma was confused, A Zu had already led him to the Blackfoot people.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye they were only a hundred meters apart!
The Blackfoot people on the opposite side reined in their horses, stared at A-Zu and Lao Ma with unfriendly expressions, and began to take off their bows and arrows and stone axes one by one.

"Lao Ma, take off the gun!"

“What…!”

A Zu ignored him, slowly reached out to take out the pistol, and then slowly put the gun on the ground.

"Boss, you're a fucking lunatic!"

Lao Ma cursed inwardly, but also took off his pistol and put it on the ground.

A Zu stretched out his hands and turned around on the spot to show that he had no weapons.

Lao Ma did as he was told.

The Blackfoot people on the opposite side relaxed a little when they saw A-Zu's actions.

The bows, spears and stone axes that had been picked up were also slowly put down.

"Lao Ma, tell them that we have no hostility and hope to talk to them!"

Old Martinez, at the top of his voice, translated A-Zu's words into Indian and shouted them to the other side.

The dozen or so riders on the opposite side were silent for a moment when they heard old Martinez's voice, and then began to whisper to each other.

Finally, the leader, a burly Indian with shoulder-length braided hair, suddenly waved his hand.

All the voices of the Blackfoot people fell silent in an instant.

The leading Indian dismounted, leaving his bow and spear on the horse, and walked towards Azu and old Martinez with steady steps, carrying only a stone axe.

Finally, he stopped five meters away.

His eyes repeatedly looked between Azu and old Martinez, and finally fell on Azu.

Then he asked in a mumbled voice.

"What did he say?" A Zu asked Lao Ma.

"He asked you if you were an Indian?"

A Zu shook his head and said, "I am not Indian. I come from China, far away in the East. However, we have a common ancestor. We are distant brothers connected by blood!"

A-Zu did not lie. The person closest to him was his most distant blood brother.

Lao Ma translated it truthfully.

After hearing Lao Ma's translation, the Indian on the opposite side immediately showed a shocked expression on his face.

"My name is A-Zu, Li Zunian. Ask him what his name is."

Lao Ma translated again.

The person on the other side muttered a few more words.

"He said his name was Blood Eagle. He also asked you...are there many people who look like you in the far East?"

"Of course, it's more than you can imagine! We Chinese have 400 million brothers and sisters. For every three people in the world, one is Chinese!"

This was also the first time Lao Ma heard this, and he was obviously quite surprised.

After swallowing, he continued translating.

The Indians on the opposite side obviously didn't understand what numbers and the whole world meant, and had never heard of China.

Therefore, his expression was confused, but more shocked. His intuition told him that 400 million was an unimaginably huge number.

Then he muttered a lot more.

As he said this, he threw the stone axe in his hand violently.

"Oh!"

The stone axe was firmly planted under A-Zu's feet!
A-Zu didn't move at all, or rather, he didn't have time to move.

Lao Ma translated, "He asked us what we were doing here. This is their land, and he told us... to get out immediately! Otherwise... they'd kill us all!"

A-Zu played the emotional card, but the other party obviously didn't get it.

"Tell him we are only here to pan for gold and will only stay for a few months. We will leave before winter comes. We do not want any conflict with them and are willing to pay the corresponding price for occupying their land."

"To show our sincerity, we prepared a little gift for him!"

Then, A Zu shouted to A Yan behind him.

A moment later, Ayan brought over a few bottles of rum and a set of copper cups.

A-Zu opened a bottle of wine, poured two glasses, and handed one to the Blood Eagle opposite him.

Then, he drank it all in one gulp.

"Wine, good stuff, drink!"

Blood Eagle looked at A'zu in confusion, until after A'zu demonstrated, he followed suit and took a sip.

After taking a sip of wine, Blood Eagle's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he took another sip and drank the wine in the glass.

It can be seen that this Blackfoot man really likes the taste of wine!
Then he mumbled something.

Lao Ma translated, "He said he likes your gift! He can spare our lives and let us go safely."

"No, no, no, my friend, I am prepared to give them many gifts like this, as well as food. If you just let us stay here for a few months, he and his people will have a well-fed and well-clothed winter!"

After Lao Ma translated it, Blood Eagle was obviously shaken.

"He said we weren't his friends, and he didn't trust us. He didn't believe we could give him enough wine and food!"

So, A Zu shouted to A Yan behind him.

A moment later, Ayan brought his men and brought barrels of rum and bags of grain to Blood Eagle.

More than three thousand pounds of food and five barrels of rum were the "gifts" that Azu had prepared in advance, and there was much more to it. But the dozen or so Blackfoot riders before him could only take so much away at most.

"Blood Eagle, my friend, this is the first batch of fine wine and food I prepared for you!"

"If you need more, you can always bring someone to get it! This is my gift for occupying your land."

Blood Eagle looked at the mountain of wine and food in front of him in shock: "Is this all for us?"

"Yes, it's all for you!"

"I said, I am your distant brother, I will not let my brothers starve!"

Blood Eagle was really hesitant this time. He pointed at the bottle of wine in A'zu's hand and said, "Can you give me another glass of that stuff?"

"Of course, my brother!"

A-Zu poured him a full cup.

Then, it was one cup after another! ——
"Brother from the Far East, my friend...!" After drinking for a while, Blood Eagle had already let down all his guard. His face flushed as he hugged A-Zu's arm: "You...you are different from those white people. I like you, hahahaha...!"

It was Blood Eagle's first time drinking alcohol, and he obviously couldn't hold his liquor very well. Half a bottle of rum, a medium-strength liquor, made him drunk.

"But you've occupied our land. I can't make the decision on this matter... hiccups... I need to go back and ask the elders... hiccups!"

"But, my brother, don't worry. Even if the elders disagree...hiccup...I will get you away safely!"
