Have you paid?

Jiang Qilan was stunned.

He asked the old man: "Is it that friend who drives very fast?"

"Driving very fast?" The old man shook his head, "He was my friend who helped me get my tribe's scalp back."

scalp……

Indians…

Jiang Qilan realized.

In fact, the latitudes of America and Asia are roughly similar. It stands to reason that America should have more people with yellow skin. (Indians are yellow people, very similar to Asians)

However, America is now dominated by white people.

The original yellow race accounted for less than five thousandths.

This is because after the white people arrived in the Americas, they launched a massacre of the local indigenous Indians.

But not all white people are bloodthirsty.

Especially the Indian children, they couldn't do anything.

So, the "smart" white commander came up with a very good idea.

As long as you pay the Indian scalp, you can receive a high bounty.

Especially the scalp of a young Indian child under the age of twelve is worth $100, which is more expensive than an adult man's $80.

There is a song that everyone now sings as a nursery rhyme:

“One little, two little, three little Indians,

One, two, three Indians,

Four little, five little, six little Indians,

Four, five, six Indians,

Seven little, eight little, nine little Indians,

Seven, eight, nine Indians,

Ten little Indians kids.

Ten Indian children. "

Imagine ten innocent Indian children tied up waiting to be scalped alive.

The crazed white man had greed in his eyes and a sharp knife in his hand.

He pointed the tip of his knife at the children and counted them one by one.

"One, two, three... ten... ten scalps."

The most heartbreaking thing is: "scalping" is originally an Indian custom.

In Indian culture, scalping was used to deal with enemies or for sacrifice.

They believe that the scalp is closely connected to the human soul.

Scalping off the enemy's scalp can mean the complete elimination of the enemy. You can also use the enemy's scalp to appease the resentment of losing relatives and friends, which means revenge.

These invaders had a hundred ways to kill the Indians.

But they don't use it.

The invaders wanted to use Indian customs to curse the Indians.

There are methods for scalping, and fees will be deducted for incomplete scalps.

If you want to peel off a complete scalp, you have to grab the hair while the Indian is still alive, use a sharp knife to cut off the entire scalp ring around the ears.

Moreover, the blade must cut into the skull so that the scalp and skull are better separated.

This old man is a descendant of an Indian tribal leader.

When the invaders purged the yellow race in America, they were lucky enough to survive.

"How did that friend help you?" Jiang Qilan asked.

He added, "Of course, you don't need to tell me, I can just ask that friend directly."

"The distinguished friend said, I can tell you everything you want to know." The old man made a gesture of invitation, "I will take you on board, and we will talk as we go."

Jiang Qilan followed the old man.

The crowd on the pier dispersed, started shouting slogans again, and started carrying things enthusiastically.

"I am the last survivor of the Peskotomuhkati family in Passamakodi," the old man said. "My family was once the most prosperous family in the United States."

"On the soil of the United States, the number of Indians once reached more than 5 million. Now there are only 800,000."

"Some unscrupulous scholars in Europe and the United States fabricated the story that Indians died in large numbers because we had no ability to resist the infectious diseases they brought. That's why the population dropped off a cliff."

"Actually, they wanted to cover up the massacre against us. In 1930, after the massacre ended, the United States passed a project called the Indian Health Service."

The old man smiled sarcastically.

"This is not a medical service," he said, "but a forced sterilization of surviving Indian women. The method is extremely cruel, unhygienic and unsafe. Many women have died due to unscientific and unhygienic sterilization. ”

"By the 1970s, nearly half of Indian women had been forcibly sterilized. My mother was lucky enough to escape the sterilization operation."

"Once, a European collector heard about my surname and indirectly learned about how my family died. He specially invited me to his collection room and showed me the scalps of my people."

"The European aristocratic collector showed off and said, "Look, how complete it is. After such a long time, the hair is still black and shiny."

The old man's tone was desolate.

"Of course I couldn't swallow this breath, so I decided to fight him to the death."

"I don't know what method this friend used, but he actually forced the collector to give me a whole collection room of hundreds of scalps of his clansmen for free, and he apologized to me repeatedly. His attitude cannot be simply described as sincere, but rather panic-stricken."

"I guess this friend must have grasped the weakness of this noble."

"I accepted this gift and owed this friend a favor."

"However, I don't even know this friend's real name or what he looks like."
