48 Hours a Day

Because of the attack on the way, everyone became more cautious in the following journey.

The original 40-minute journey took a full one and a half hours, especially after Luke’s death, there is a thorny problem that no one can take over his previous job, driving a sled, but fortunately Zhang Heng came out at this time. , Along the way, he has been observing how Ole controls the sled with the dog group, and now there is no problem with basic steering and acceleration and deceleration.

Ole and Alessia had some doubts about this at first, but after Zhang Heng started to practice and practiced for five minutes, they also let go of their hearts. Then Zhang Heng took Sarchus and Ole took Lu. Ke's corpse, and Alessia took Songjia with him, and went on the road again.

They did not encounter any danger on the road afterwards. As they got closer and closer to the tribe, Alessia’s hanging heart gradually relaxed, and when she saw a low building on the snowy field, her The spirit was completely relaxed.

"We're home."

There are more than two hundred people in the tribe of Alessia, which is one of the largest tribes nearby. Although some people have moved out over the years to live in Nuuk or other towns on the island, almost half of them still stayed. , But mainly some elderly people, there are not many young people like Alessia.

There is no alternative to this. Young people always yearn for the outside world more. In fact, even Alessia stays in Nuuk more often. She studies there and works there after graduation, but she will come back regularly. Learn shaman knowledge from Kunayu.

Different from the video data and books, the house where the Alessia tribe lives is not an igloo made of ice, but a wooden house similar to the town. It looks very strong and solid, but the color is not the town. It’s so gorgeous, there are snowmobiles next to some houses, and 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 tribes on the island. Even the people who still stay here have basically escaped from the past life of ruining hair and drinking blood, and their way of life has been greatly changed.

According to Alessia and Ole, the Inuit tribe today, although the connection between people is still very close, but it is no longer the same as in the past to raise children regardless of parents, and children are also 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 they have been exposed to the colorful life outside.

But Kuna has said that nothing can be forced. If the tribe is really gone one day, it proves that everyone is living the life of their choice, and there is nothing wrong with it.In fact, many small tribes have disbanded on their own in recent years, or united to form large settlements, and are developing towards towns.

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

In addition, they are also looking at Zhang Heng and Songjia with curious but not malicious eyes. The tribe of Alessia is not far from Nuuk. There are usually some visitors, but they are also yellow-skinned foreigners. Rarely, as for Songjia, no matter where he goes, he can get a lot of attention from the opposite sex.

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

"Kuna is still waiting for you in her place." An elderly old man walked over to Alessia.

"Okay, let's pass."

Alessia brought Zhang Heng and others to a small wooden house that didn’t look big. This house is no different from other houses in the tribe, but everyone who passes by here will involuntarily step down. Respect will also appear on the face.

Alessia knocked on the door, and soon there was a gentle voice, "Please come in."

Alessia pushed the door and walked in, while the others stayed outside the house temporarily, leaving a space for the pair of mentors and apprentices to exchange greetings. Five minutes later, the door of the wooden house was opened again. Sticking out his head inside, "Okay, the teacher invites you in."

Although Ole has been complained about by his two partners, he still has the courtesy he should have. Zhang Heng and Songjia walked in front, and he himself was the last to walk into the hut and brought him to the door. .

After Zhang Heng entered the house, he saw an old man in his 60s and 70s sitting at a table, but unlike what he imagined, the old man did not wear any strange traditional costumes or any strange jewelry. She was upper body. Wearing a thick gray sweater and a pair of cotton trousers on her lower body, she looks like an ordinary grandmother.

If it hadn't been for Alessia to stand by her side with a respectful look, I am afraid that no one would believe that this old man is the most powerful shaman among the Inuit.

Zhang Heng and Songjia bowed to the old man after entering the house, the latter waved their hands and let them sit at the table, then got up and took out a pot of freshly brewed coffee from the kitchen.

"You are here at the right time. The Brazilian coffee that I asked someone to buy from the Internet finally arrived. Yves who went to Nuuk brought it back for me, so I can taste it together." Kuna still smiled.

Alessia took out five tea cups from the cabinet, and then took the pot of coffee from Kunayu, poured it into the cup, Ole took the cup, and looked flattered, regardless of the hot, directly Drink it all.

Songjia also picked up the cup and sipped it, only Zhang Heng did not move.

Upon seeing this, Songjia put down the cup, and whispered in Chinese in someone's ear, "This is coffee made by Kunayu, even if you don't like it...you have to drink some to show respect."

As a result, she listened to Kuna who was opposite her before she finished speaking, "It's okay, I can feel that he is not malicious to me, but he is more vigilant. This is completely different from his parents, I remember His mother loves to laugh very much, as if she is not at all alert to the world, even in the closed Inuit tribe, I rarely see such a pure smile."
