472. Separation
Chen Song followed and looked, and in the clear and transparent ice, there was a lifelike seal.
The seal was also unlucky, and happened to be frozen in the ice, because the sea ice was not polluted, so the dogs saw it in its entirety.
This kind of thing is very common in the Arctic, there are fish, seals and so on in the ocean ice, because when the cold snap comes, the sea freezes from above, and the marine animals have to break through the ice to breathe.
As a result, the cold snap intensified and the seawater ice thickened rapidly, often freezing some of the fish and seals that did not have time to escape.
At low temperatures, both fish and animals are prone to freezing, just like boiled frogs in warm water, gradually being frozen, and it is often too late for them to run away when they realize that something is wrong.
Seeing this seal, Chen Song took out his mobile phone to take pictures.
This is a good topic for posting on Moments.
As a result, the dogs saw him taking pictures and thought he was interested in seals in the ice, and they all used their paws to dig up the ice.
Chen Song was so frightened that he wanted to pee: "Don't don't, you are really my uncle! Don't destroy the ice, we will fall into the water and die!"
He was overly concerned, the dogs were not Wolverine, and the dog's paws only dug up some scratches after digging on the ice for a while, and they couldn't break through the thick ice at all.
Chen Song dragged them away and continued to move forward.
When he arrived on the island, he told the Mayek family about it, and they were overjoyed to hear that there were seals under the ice, and Mayek went to break the ice and fetch the seals with an ice axe.
Chen Song was startled and said, "Aren't you afraid of destroying the ice and falling into the sea?"
Mayek grinned: "No, the Nijack wind has blown several times, and now the ice road at sea is very strong and will not be destroyed, I will just go and take the seals out." ”
The seal was a valuable asset to the family, saving a little food to eat for several days, and for the family who had run out of food, Chen Song brought a surprise.
The old lady thought that Chen Song was a blessing brought to their family by the white god, and he wanted to repay Chen Song, but after rummaging through the cabinets for a while, he said distressedly: "I'm sorry, Chinese benefactor, we really don't have anything of value in our family." ”
Chen Song hurriedly said: "You're welcome, I deserve to do all this, you don't have to give me anything." ”
The old lady was very stubborn, he didn't listen to Chen Song's words and searched for a while, and finally took out a statue about the size of a young man's fist: "Chinese benefactor, this is the bone carving I made before, if you don't dislike it, can you accept them?"
Chen Song looked at it, what kind of bone is this bone carving made of, maybe it is a seal bone or maybe a walrus bone, the color is white and yellowish, usually the old man is obviously not less rubbing, and the appearance is already a little pulp, very old.
The bone carving is the appearance of a person, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge, and it turns out to be a white person.
He took the bone carving and asked, "Who is this carving?"
The old lady smiled: "I don't know, I carved it casually." ”
He felt that Chen Song liked this kind of thing, so he happily turned it over, and turned out several bone carvings, including bears, seals and dogs, and he also turned out a walrus ivory carving, which was precious.
This walrus tusk is more than 60 centimeters long, and it should not be called a bone carving, but a bone carving, with some patterns and some strange words engraved on it.
Chen Song couldn't understand this kind of writing, so he asked, "May I ask what is written on this? Is it your writing?"
The old man said: "We don't have a written language, but other ethnic groups have a written language, and when I was young, I had great ambitions and wanted to create a kind of writing. However, I couldn't do it, so I carved something on it, which was a souvenir. ”
Chen Song was in awe: "Great ambition." ”
Then his heart moved, and he had an idea.
Later, Mayek's family was responsible for dismantling the house and packing up the luggage, and he went to dig up the frozen seals, and finally they met up and left the island with Chen Song.
The family had no hounds left, so they had to rely on people to pull the sled.
Fortunately, the Inuit were hard-working, women, old people, and children, and they had nothing else in their homes except broken tents and some fur, and the sleds were not heavy, so they could be dragged by manpower.
After finally stepping on land, Mayek looked back at the island jutting out of the flat ice, and muttered, "Goodbye Dad, I will listen to you in the future, and I will not venture out with walrus." ”
Chen Song accepted the family's bone carvings and bone carvings, which are all works of art, and there are a lot of them, and there are more than 50 bone carvings, all of which are fine products that the old man usually has nothing to do.
There are also ten large and small walrus tusks, all of which are patterned or meaningless lines of writing.
Don't look at the old gentleman who has not learned carving, but the artist is born, practice makes perfect, his bone carving works are very exquisite, especially those bone carvings, you must know that walrus ivory is the best material in carving, and it is very valuable in itself.
Chen Song gave them all the Danish kroner he had redeemed and carefully taught them how to use the money, which he gave the family enough to buy ten fine hunting dogs, order a set of high-quality sleds and survive the winter.
The old lady led the whole family to give him the highest Inuit respect, kissing the back of his hand in turn, leaning down and touching the soles of his feet with her forehead.
Mayek also handed him a wolf tooth necklace around his neck, and said solemnly: "Chinese benefactor, you leave this, thank you for saving me and our family, the white god and the night god will bless you!"
Chen Song did not refuse, he took out his saber and gave it to the young man.
The Inuit are honest people with straight intestines, dragging their luggage far away, waving back and forth along the way, even if they can't see each other clearly, the Mayeks will still turn around and wave at him.
Chen Song likes this kind of honest person very much, and if it weren't for the fact that the Inuit are unwilling to leave their hometown and do not like to work, then he would be happy to recruit this family to work on his estate.
Everyone was about to get into the car, but Beaufort sneaked up and said, "Boss Vince, you don't have a saber, do you?"
Chen Song said: "There is still a spare, what's wrong?"
Beaufort pulled out his dogleg knife and said: "Look at this, the SP scimitar of BCB International Co., Ltd., a special weapon for special forces, it uses a stainless steel single-edged blade, and the blade is made of carbon steel, it's just amazing, are you interested?"
Chen Song saw that this dogleg knife was really good, he reached out and took it and tried it and said, "Interested, thank you very much." ”
Beaufort was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly said: "No thanks, but you have to give me the wolf tooth necklace that the kid gave you just now, and we will exchange it." ”
Chen Song looked at him with a smile and asked, "What's the matter with the necklace?"
Beaufort looked left and right and said to him, "What's going on? It's the beast tooth necklace, I love this little thing, you know it......"
"I don't know, I just know that if you don't tell the truth, then I'm going to get in the car and leave. As he said this, he put away his knife.
The knife is now surnamed Chen.
