lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Lin's female beginners!
On a sled pulled by a dog, the excellent Husky hunter controls the direction and moves freely on the snow.
On the sleigh, there are not only bearded hunters wearing white hats, but also a dead seal behind them. Several fish of various sizes are strung on the fishing line, shaking as the sleigh moves forward.
Over several snow hills, the hunter saw an ice house, pulled the rein, and the sled slid on the ground for several meters, and finally stopped steadily.
Wearing thick gloves, the hunter rubbed the ice debris from his beard, and first dragged the seal from behind the sled. The weight of an adult seal can reach 180 kilograms. This half-sized seal weighs about 100 kilograms. If it weren't for the help of a sled, the hunter would have successfully killed it, and it would be difficult to bring the prey back in the ice and snow.
The hunter lifted the thick blanket of the igloo, and a teenage Eskimo girl stood up: "Dad, did you catch a seal today?"
The hunter put down the seal and saw his daughter Tess's happy face, he couldn't help rubbing her hair. The food-poor winter has passed, and his daughter will not go hungry. How can he be unhappy?
Tess ran out and brought the dog in her hug to the sled, and brought in the string of fish. There was too much food and she couldn't eat it for a while, buried under the snow, fresh and clean.
Although Tess was only ten years old, she was already a good helper in the family, and she was very agile in picking up the seals with her father.
"Father, look!" When Tess was washing and stripping the seal, she found a bead with blood stains in its belly. After rubbing it with snow twice on the ground, she found it was a round and shiny pearl. He held it up and showed it to the hunter.
The hunter took it and looked at it for a while. Such pearls are really rare in places like the Arctic, and they don't know what the seals ate.
Seeing that Tess liked it, he gave her the beads to play with.
The hunter took the seal entrails and fed the dog before returning to eat the seal meat with his daughter.
There is nowhere to make fires in the ice and snow. Since the beginning, the Eskimos have been eating raw meat. Recently, with the progress of society, there are very few igloos living in igloos to eat raw meat except in such northern places. Father Hunter Women are one of the few adherents.
After eating the seal meat, Tess lay on the felt playing with beads.
There are also many Eskimos around here. They all help each other. Hunters take out most of the seal meat and give them to neighbors.
Tess was in the igloo alone, throwing the beads up and down. The Eskimos originally migrated from Asia ten thousand years ago. They were short, with yellow skin, black hair, and a typical Mongolian race. Tess looked like a little Chinese girl.
The hunter came back, seeing Tess still playing with the bead, and seeing his daughter like it, he was also happy. Tess’s mother died during childbirth. For so many years, he relied on goat’s milk to raise Tess, and relied on her hunting skills to make her worry about food, but he really didn’t know how to accompany her for ten years. The year-old girl is playing...The dog pulling the sled in his family is better than him to make the little girl happy.
Located in the Arctic polar circle, there is no night in summer. At the turn of winter and summer, the night is mixed with blizzards, and it comes very late.
Because I live in an igloo, you can’t light a fire at night, otherwise it will melt. The hunter puts Tess on a thick bearskin blanket. Hunting during the day makes him tired, and he will soon be in another part of the house. One end fell asleep.
Tess didn’t know why tonight. She was full but couldn’t sleep.
The bead taken from the seal's belly during the day was held in her hand by Tess. In the cold night, the bead seemed to have a hint of warmth, making her reluctant to let go.
Tess had also heard a few fairy tales, this bead was strange, she always felt that there was a fairy hidden in it.
Of course, until the little girl opened her eyes until midnight, she was so sleepy that she couldn't fall asleep, and the so-called fairy did not come out of the beads. However, the water around the beads fluctuates fiercely, that's why the little girl can't put it down.
The next day was a sunny day. The hunter had eaten seal meat and went to discuss with his neighbor early in the morning.
Tess was playing with the sled dogs at home. The water aura around the beads became stronger and stronger, and the affinity of water made people even more reluctant to let it go.
At lunch, the hunter came back.
It turns out that they have accumulated a lot of seal skins throughout the winter, and they don’t want to be held down by the fur traders who wander among the Eskimo tribes, so they decided to go to town to sell them personally, so they had to go out for a few days, called Moss. Silk is at home, don't go out at night.
Tess absently agreed, putting her thoughts on the bead.
The hunter asked his daughter to take out the seal skins accumulated throughout the winter, load a full sled, and set off with food.
Tess was very active, and she could stay in the house well for the first two days, but it was icy and snowy, and no one talked to her. Even the sled dogs were gone. She was a teenage girl no matter how sensible she was. At night, I heard the sound of strong wind and snow **** hitting the door felt, and I couldn't sleep even more.
Hearing a whimper near the igloo, Tess was scared and curious, turned from the felt, and quietly opened the door.
The neat row of footprints in front of the igloo has not been completely covered by the wind and snow.
Hey, is the father back?
Every time my father came back from the town, he always brought back many shining candies. Tess thought of the taste and forgot the previous whimper, thinking that her father was at a neighbor’s house not far away and put on one Da Mao clothes ran out along the footprints.
There was wind and snow again in the dark night. The little girl closed her eyes because of the wind and couldn't distinguish the way. She only lowered her head and walked along the footprints, and she didn't realize that this direction did not lead to the neighbor's house.
Tess didn't know how long she had been walking, she just felt that her legs were getting stiffer and heavier, and her body was freezing.
Looking up and looking around, Tess finally understood that she was lost! On such a snowy night, getting lost on the snow will kill people.
Little Tess finally remembered that her father told her not to go out at night, her mouth was so cold that she did not cry for a long time.
At this moment, little Tess heard movement in front of her. She tried to open her eyes and looked at it. There was a strong figure a few meters away. Could it be her father?
Little Tess ran for two steps, saw the figure clearly, and tightly covered her mouth-where is the father, clearly a polar bear, holding some meat in her hand, and the red rope on it is Tess herself. Attach it!
It turned out that it was not the father who came back, but the polar bear stealing seals and fish from Tess’s house buried in the snow outside the igloo!
Polar bears also smell the smell of human beings. They are the least provocative animals. When they can’t catch fish in the summer, they will spend the Arctic summer on carrion. Naturally, they also have to eat people, especially if there is none like Tess. Attacking children... The polar bear dropped the meat in his hands and rushed like Tess.
Tess turned around and stumbled two steps before she fell to the ground. The beads she held in her hands also fell out. Tess couldn't see where it fell in the dark.
With her feet stuck in the snow, the ten-year-old Tess was so scared that she even forgot to cry. The polar bear's paws kept magnifying in her eyes, and Tess curled up into a ball, trembling with her mouth thinking about her father.
At this moment, a dazzling brilliance burst out in the direction where the beads fell. The polar bear seemed to have noticed something, and was scared to take two steps back.
Tess opened her eyes wide, looking at the beads she had played with for a few days, exuding a dazzling light, and gradually floated into the air, and in the blink of an eye, a woman in a skirt suddenly appeared in the place where the beads were shining. ——
Against the light, Tess could not see the woman's appearance. The luminous beads were worn on her wrists, like a little sun, lighting up the dark night of the North Pole.
Wearing such a thin, beautiful dress, this woman who appeared suddenly, is the fairy who came to save her?
The ten-year-old Tess stared blankly at the figure of the fairy coming by, and later realized that she shed tears of fear.
