Chapter 1270 Kunayu

Because they were attacked halfway, everyone became more cautious during the rest of the journey.

The originally forty-minute journey took a full hour and a half. Especially after Luke's death, there was a thorny problem: no one could take over his previous job of driving the sled. Fortunately, Zhang Heng stepped forward at this time. , he has been observing how Ole controls the dogs to control the sled. Now he has no problem with basic steering, acceleration and deceleration.

Ole and Alessia were still a little skeptical about this, but after Zhang Heng got started and practiced for five minutes, they felt relieved, so from then on, Zhang Heng took Sachus, and Ole took Lu Ke's body was found, and Alessia had already taken Songjia with her and was on the road again.

They didn't encounter any danger on the way. As they got closer and closer to the tribe, Alesiya's hanging heart gradually relaxed. When she saw a low building on the snowfield, her heart dropped. The spirit also completely relaxed.

"We're home."

Alessia's tribe has more than 200 people, making it one of the largest tribes in the area. Although some people have been moving out over the years to live in Nuuk or other towns on the island, almost half of the people still remain. , but they are mainly elderly people, and there are not many young people like Alessia.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Young people always yearn more for the outside world. In fact, even Alessia spends most of her time in Nuuk. She studied there and worked there after graduation, but she would come back regularly. Learn shamanic knowledge from Kunayu.

Different from the records in the video materials and books, the houses that Aleshiya's tribe lives in are not igloos made of ice, but wooden houses similar to those in the towns. They look very solid and solid, but the color is not as good as the towns. It was so beautiful, and there were snowmobiles next to some houses. In addition, Zhang Heng also saw grocery stores and even gas stations here.

It can be seen that modern civilization has had a great impact on the Inuit tribe on the island. Even the people who are still here have basically broken away from the past life of eating hair and drinking blood, and their lifestyle has changed a lot.

According to Alessia and Ole, although the connections between people in today's Inuit tribe are still very close, children are no longer raised together regardless of parents as in the past, and children are no longer They will all be sent to school to learn cultural knowledge, even if the result of this is that young people have chosen to leave this land after being exposed to the colorful life outside.

But Kunayu said that nothing can be forced. If one day the tribe really disappears, it will prove that everyone has lived the life of their choice, and there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, many small tribes have disbanded themselves over the years, or have joined together to form large settlements and developed towards towns.

Alessia's tribe may have such a day in the near future, but for now, there are still many people who choose to stay here. After seeing Alessia return to the tribe, the people in the tribe The tribesmen greeted her and Ole behind her cordially. The latter was also a frequent visitor here, and basically everyone in the tribe knew him.

In addition, they were looking at Zhang Heng and Songjia with curious but not malicious eyes. Alesiya's tribe was not far from Nuuk, and there were usually some visitors, but the foreigners with the same yellow skin did not It's rare, but as for Songjia, she gets a lot of attention from the opposite sex no matter where she goes.

But soon they discovered that there seemed to be someone missing. Luke, who had gone out to meet them before, was not in the team. When they saw what was covered by a blanket behind the sled, many people had already realized something, and their expressions became sad. got up.

"Kunayu is waiting for you at her residence." An elderly man came over and said to Alessia.

"Okay, we'll go over there."

Alessia brought Zhang Heng and others to a wooden house that didn't look very big. This house was no different from other houses in the tribe, but everyone who passed by here would involuntarily slow down their steps. There will also be a look of respect on the face.

Alessia knocked on the door, and soon a gentle voice came from inside, "Please come in."

After hearing this, Alessia pushed the door open and walked in, while the others stayed outside for the time being, leaving room for the master and apprentice to exchange greetings. Five minutes later, the door of the wooden house was opened again, and Alessia stepped out of the room. A head popped out from inside, "Okay, the teacher invites you to come in."

Although Ole has been criticized by his two companions for being a reckless man, he still has the proper etiquette. He let Zhang Heng and Songjia walk in front, and he was the last one to enter the hut, and he also opened the door to the hut. .

After Zhang Heng entered the room, he saw an old man about sixty or seventy years old sitting at a table. However, unlike what he imagined, the old man was not wearing any strange traditional clothes or any strange-shaped jewelry. Wearing a gray thickened sweater and a pair of cotton pants, she looked just like an ordinary old woman.

If Alessia hadn't been standing next to her with a respectful expression, no one would have believed that this old man was the most powerful shaman among the Inuit people.

After Zhang Heng and Song Jia entered the room, they bowed to the old man. The latter waved his hand and asked them to sit down at the table. Then he stood up and took out a pot of freshly brewed coffee from the kitchen.

"You guys came just in time. The Brazilian coffee I asked someone to buy for me online has finally arrived. Yves who went to Nuuk to do some work brought it back for me, so we can try it together." Kunayu said with a smile.

Alessia took out five teacups from the cabinet, then took the pot of coffee from Kunyu's hand and poured it into the cups. Ole took a cup, looking flattered, and did not bother to iron it. Drink it all in one gulp.

Songjia also picked up the cup and took a sip. Among the people at the table, only Zhang Heng did not move.

Seeing this, Songjia put down the cup and whispered in Chinese in someone's ear, "This is the coffee brewed by Kunayu. Even if you don't like it...you should drink some to show respect."

As a result, before she could finish her words, she heard Kunayu on the opposite side say, "It's okay. I can feel that he has no ill intentions toward me, but he is just more wary. This is completely different from his parents. I I remember that his mother loved to smile, as if she was not wary of the world at all. Even in the isolated Inuit tribe, I rarely see such a pure smile."
