From late March to early April, we were filming Dunbar Indian interactions with them all in trivial details, but it was these details that made the whole movie full of flesh and blood.

Dunbar integrated into the life of the Indians. He and the woman he saved gradually developed admiration. At the same time, he also became the friendship and respect of the Indians.

The next scene is the scene where Indians hunt their bison.

This scene is a small climax in the first half of the movie, and it is also a long-awaited drama in the movie.

No. 45, in the Sioux tent.

It was a very pleasant evening. Although the weather was a little cold, it was much warmer than it was more than a month ago. There was a small pot on the bonfire inside the tent, and there was a cooked rabbit stewed in it. The fragrance filled the tent, making people hungry.

"Bison herd?! Mr. Corleon, are you looking for a bison herd?!" After hearing that I asked them to take me to find a bison herd, Su Bang's eyes widened.

I took a bite of the rabbit meat and said curiously: "Why, can't you find it?"

Su Bang shook his head: "It's not that I can't find it, but it's hard to find it now. Mr. Corleon, how big is the herd of bison do you want to find?"

"How old?!" Su Bang's question still stumbled upon me.

Yes, how big is it?

"Of course, the bigger the better, it's better to have thousands!" I stretched out my hands and gestured hard.

"Thousands of people?!" At this moment, it was Kava and Bonnu's turn to scream.

"Why? Can't find it?" I asked in wonder.

Kava and Bonnu looked at each other and nodded almost at the same time.

"How is that possible?! When I went out to wander last night, I met a group of bison eating grasslands. How could I not find a herd of bisons??" Stenberg immediately laughed.

Bonnu glanced at Stenborough and smiled, "How many bisons are there in the herd of bison you saw yesterday?"

Stenberg scratched his head and said, "There are probably three or four hundred heads."

Bonnu shrugged as a white man: "Mr. Stenborough, you heard it too. Corleon has found that the land is a herd of thousands of bisons. You see the land, which is only three or four hundred."

"This..." Stenberg was dumbfounded and said, "Since there are three or four hundred geese herds, thousands of geese herds, should they be found, right?"

Bonnu laughed and still shook his head.

"Is there no such a big herd of bison on such a large grassland?" I didn't believe it at all.

Subon said: "Mr. Corleon. Don't be anxious. Listen to me to tell you slowly. If there were herds of bison everywhere in this place twenty years ago, and thousands of herds of bison were found. At that time, we Indians hunted them on the road they passed by to maintain the survival of the tribe for a year. Beef was our staple food. At that time, we didn't raise horses very much. We kept land horses all our mounts. We lived in harmony with the herds. Every year, after we had enough beef, we would never hunt them on our own. But when the white people came here, all this changed."

Su Bang's tone became extremely heavy: "The people desperately hunted the buffalo herds. After they killed the buffalo, they just cut off the tongue and skin and left. The entire grassland was full of bloody bison corpses. They ignored the livelihood of our Indians. They ignored the life and death of those buffaloes. That was really cruel."

"In the next ten years, such massacres were performed on this grassland almost every day. The herd of bison has also gradually lost its most important food, and we Indians gradually lost our most important food. We had no choice but to change to horse raising. Six years ago, under our protests and struggles, a governor of Indiana finally did a good thing, forbidding large-scale hunting of bison, so the herd of bison has gradually recovered. In fact, the most important reason why the white people stopped hunting bison was that the tongue and fur of the bison are no longer profitable."

"So. Now, on this grassland, there are dozens or even hundreds of bison herds, but there are no more than a thousand, let alone tens of thousands."

After listening to Su Bang's introduction, I immediately became anxious.

The play of hunting bison is a key point. Without a large number of herds of bison, there will be no momentum, and it cannot reflect the courage and hard life of the Indians. The effect of the movie will be greatly reduced.

"No! Without such a big herd of bison, we can't shoot movies!" Stengberg and Griffith were both anxious.

"Chief Su Bang, is there really no way?" I said with a frown.

Su Bang shook his head: "It's not impossible. If you want to make a movie and get such a big herd of bison, you can have two ways to go."

"Tell me!" I was overjoyed and grabbed Su Bang's clothes.

Su Bang said: "The first way is to use manpower to drive the small bison herds on this grassland together. In this way, from the small to the big, you may finally get the wild bison herds you want. But it is extremely difficult to do so."

Bonnu, who sat next to Subang, also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Corleon, those bisons are different from those on your white farms. They are irritable and are very dangerous to drive away by humans, because if you annoy them, they will definitely attack you. The horns of those bisons are long and sharp. If you push them, you will be done. Moreover, there are clear boundaries between the bison herds and the bison herds. Usually, two different bisons will conflict when they meet, let alone drive so many cattle together. Even if these herds are tolerant of each other and driving so many cattle herds requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is extremely time-consuming, and it is hard to say whether they can meet your requirements at the best time."

I think Bonnu’s statement makes sense. This method sounds feasible, but in fact it may not be that easy at all.

"Chief Su Bang, what is the second solution?" I can only hope for the second solution.

Su Bang smiled and said, "The second method is more feasible than the first method. But you may have to suffer a little."

"Suffering? When have we been afraid of suffering? Chief Su Bang, just tell the truth." Grie

A bite of rabbit meat said.

Su Bang pointed to the north and said, "We don't have this grassland, but if you go north and keep going north. Go near the Great Lakes and enter a mountain, where there are such a large herd of bisons. Because in that place, white people rarely go to hunt on a large scale, such a bison herd must exist."

"That's good, but how long does it take to get from here to the mountains?" asked Stenberg.

"It almost takes four or five days. This is just the time to get there. If you want to find a herd of bison, it may take more than the time." Su Bang grinned.

"Good guy, it takes half a month to go back and forth. Boss, this time is a bit long." Griffith turned to look at me and said.

I smiled bitterly: "There is no way, if we want to make a good movie, we have to do this."

"David, if you feel it's hard, then don't go. Stay here to take care of the camp. My boss and I go. To be honest, I haven't seen enough of the scenery near the Great Lakes." Stenberg spooned a spoonful of rabbit soup from the pot and drank it sounded.

Griffith opened his eyes: "When did I feel that I have suffered? I am reminding the boss. Boss, for more than half a month together, during the period when we are not here, who can guarantee that those bitches in Indianapolis will not make trouble?"

Griffith's words were very reasonable.

"Mr. Corleon, don't worry about this. After you leave, let's leave it to us Sioux and the Seneca general. With us there, there will definitely not be any problem." Su Bang patted his chest and gave me a guarantee.

"I have to do this. Chief Su Bang, during the period when I left the place, if you don't act rashly, you must wait until I come back," I reminded me.

"Don't worry, we know the importance." Su Bang smiled brightly.

The next day, it was a sunny day. The sun shone on the grassland, making people feel particularly happy.

Our station is in a mess.

Several large carriages were filled with various supplies. I originally planned to drive over the truck so that it would not only deliver fast, but also hold things, but this idea was quickly rejected by Su Bang. He told me that if we drove over, the bison herds would run away without a trace when they heard the sound of the car. It would be better to drive the carriage. Although it was a little slower, it would definitely not be disturbed, and the efficiency of success would be high.

Under his persuasion, we switched to carriages. The crew had all the equipment and rations, and all the tents were installed in those carriages.

This time, because the distance is very long, I will not take anyone who can take it.

In addition to me, Griffith, Stenborough, Fatty and the necessary cast and crew members in the crew, we brought more than a hundred warriors selected from the Sioux led by Kava and Bonnu.

"Andre, I heard that the mountains are very dangerous, and there are often various dangerous animals. In addition to the herd of bison, there are also wolves and brown bears. I heard Kava say that the brown bear is more than two meters high when it stands up, and a slap can slap people's heads. You have to be careful!" Holgina, whose body has improved greatly, warned me.

I laughed and pointed to the Indians who were ready to go and said, "Did you see it? Not to mention brown bears, even brown bears are fine. You, just cultivate here and wait for me to come back and take good care of my son."

I put my hand on Holkina's belly and groped for a while.

"No serious." Holkina patted me hard.

"Mr. Corleon, do you want me to send hundreds of people to protect your safety? You are just a few people. If you encounter an accident, you may not be able to solve it." General Seneca came over and pointed at the more than a hundred Indians.

"No need, this kind of thing is not good if there are too many people. I think there are too many people. And I heard from Su Bang that there are also Indians living there. If you white soldiers go, it will cause unnecessary trouble." I declined Seneca's proposal.

Rest Cameron said: "General Seneca's proposal is not completely unreasonable. Andre, look at the more than one hundred Indians, they are very strong, but their weapons are too backward, all of them are bows, arrows and spears. If you encounter big trouble, you may not be able to survive a volley."

"Where is there any volley?" I laughed. Then I suddenly understood what Rest Cameron meant: "You mean, those guys in Indianapolis might take this opportunity to attack us?"

Lester Cameron did not affirm it but did not deny it either. He looked up at the sky and said, "I can't say this, but it's better to be careful. I added a carriage to you, full of guns and ammunition, and I, Shavi, brings twenty people with you, and they are all fast gunmen, and they will definitely be foolproof."

"Twenty people. OK. Let them keep up." Rest Cameron has always been meticulous and will not make any loopholes. His words make sense.

We prepared one morning like this. After breakfast, our team set out on a long journey with everyone's farewell.

Bonnu and Kava took more than a hundred people to explore the way. Some of them had been to the mountains and were familiar with that place. I, Griffith, Stenburg, John Wayne and others led the crew to press the baggage in the middle, and Shavie stayed at the end with more than twenty fast gunmen.

Such a team is vast and breeze along the way.

The northward, the scenery gradually becomes different.

The terrain at the beginning began to become more and more continuous. After we drove for a day, we basically reached the junction between the grassland and the mountains.

The road was very calm, and everyone seemed to be on a trip, talking and laughing, and it was very happy. Even I was attracted by the surrounding lakes and mountains.

This place is worthy of being one of the most beautiful places in the United States. The grasslands are continuous, the hills are undulating, and there are dense forests. There are also lakes, horses and deer trees like mirrors, and they can be seen everywhere. Occasionally, large white birds can be seen circling over the sky.

Without any industrial atmosphere, time suddenly goes back thousands of years ago, making people sigh.

I also saw herds of wild bison on the way, but the scale was not large, and the largest one was only a few hundred. These wild bisons were.

The bulls inside the herd will walk outside to guard the population with vigilance. These bulls are very strong and very vigilant.

"Mr. Corleon, have you seen it? If such a guy is pushing you towards you, you will be miserable." Bonnu said to me, pointing at a big bull.

Kava laughed at the side: "Boss, don't be scared by Bonnu. In fact, these bulls are not that dangerous. I hunted a few of them last year, but they didn't hurt me even a single hair."

"Then do you have the kind of hunting one to show me?" Stenberg pointed to the strongest one of the bulls not far away.

Bonnu looked and said, "That's the cow in this herd!"

"Kava, don't listen to Stenborough's nonsense, just hurry on the road." I also laughed.

Kawa laughed and said, "Boss, it's late, we have to camp later. Hunting this cow will kill the cow and have a delicious meal. Wait for me."

Kava said, picking up the spear.

Several Sioux people wanted to help him, but he refused.

"Fight!" Kava lifted the reins and shouted loudly towards the bull.

Looking at the huge cow, everyone was worried about Kava.

It is dangerous enough to hunt a bull in normal times. Often, people from the tribe work together, let alone this guy hunts a bull alone!

The ground immediately became like a god, with long hair fluttering in the wind, and the muscles bloomed in the sun, shiny and majestic.

The cow seemed to realize that Kawa came from a bad intention. In order to protect the cattle, it slowly left the team and walked towards Kawa, and its speed was getting faster and faster.

From a distance, it is a showdown between people and cows.

The cow stopped one or two hundred meters away from Kava. It lowered its huge revelation slightly, aimed the two sharp corners at Kava, and made a burst of screams from its mouth.

It was warning Kava and letting him go.

Kava let go of the reins and stood up immediately, holding a bow in her left hand and taking an arrow in her right hand. He pulled a hard bow for a full month.
