Chapter 449: Four Differences
The hunting team was welcomed like a hero, and for the ethnic people who lived by fishing and hunting, it was their food guarantee, and of course, they were also treated with special respect.
Although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state gave great preferential treatment to the Evenks and other ethnic minorities, such as giving them hunting rifles, and the hunters could enjoy a ranger's allowance of 18 yuan a month;
Although living conditions have improved dramatically, the national traditions of the Evenks have not changed in the short term, and hunting is still the main part of their lives.
The fat man also followed, and saw that people unloaded the prey on the back of the reindeer, which was really rich enough, including sika deer, wild boar, fox, roe deer, fang, and so on. The fat man even saw two otters and a sable, and immediately distressed him.
Distressed is distressed, but people are a hunting nation, and they have been like this for thousands of years, and the fat man will never be stupid enough to accuse them of hunting animals, or tell them the great truth of protecting animals.
Qiqi glanced this way, and immediately followed Burigood to play with the Evenki children, probably not looking at this. The big black bear followed, but it didn't seem to be very popular, and people shy away everywhere it went.
The fat man turned his attention to the reindeer, these guys were obviously stronger than the sika deer, with a body length and height of more than a meter, and the large horns on their heads were particularly eye-catching, like a big tree branch, and it was estimated that the span could be two meters, which looked extremely powerful.
"Uncle Fatty, do you see if some reindeer are the ones pulling the cart for Santa Claus?" Kiki leaned over to the fat man and asked another question that was not commensurate with her intelligence.
The fat man coughed: "Of course not, they are specially for the Evenks to pull carts, strange, how come these reindeer have horns and are all male deer?"
Qi also blinked: "Really, it seems that there is a difference, fat uncle, look at their necks." β
The little one is very observant of animals. Reindeer all have horns, though. But there is a thick neck, and the face is drooping out of a bunch. The fat man understands now. I guess it's like the Adam's apple of a man in a human race.
One by one, the two of them were discussing the reindeer unloading their cargo. It's already coming this way. There are also no corrals. There is no one to take care of it. These big guys are wandering around on their own to find a place to eat. It looks pretty laid-back. Two reindeer ran straight this way.
"Interesting. It's more pristine than our deer farm. The fat man couldn't help but mutter.
This is also the case, and the reindeer are in the hands of the Evenks. It's basically a semi-wild, semi-artificial state. When the land is used, it is caught and the cart is pulled to carry things, and when the land is used, it is released into the mountains and forests. Except for feeding them salt regularly and taking care to protect the newborn deer.
This is not to say that the Evenks do not like reindeer. As a matter of fact. Reindeer are their biggest helper in life. Transporting things somewhere. Reindeer are needed to help. It is affectionately known as the "Boat of the Sea of Forests".
At this time. A reindeer had already pulled its white furry lips over it. Accept the strange stroke. And not two licks on the hands of the strange land.
Qiqi giggled: "Uncle Fat, it's really interesting to look at the appearance of this reindeer, why do I think that when I watched "Romance of the Gods", Jiang Ziya's four looks like this?"
The fat man patted his thigh: "Yes, the reindeer is originally called four dislike, you see, its horns are like a deer instead of a deer, its head is like a horse but not a horse, its body is like a donkey but not a donkey, its hooves are like a cow but not a cow, the whole one and four are not like it, hahaha." β
"That's true. Qiqi observed it carefully, and agreed with Uncle Fat's point of view, and then he was eager to try to ride a circle of reindeer, and he also passed Jiang Ziya's addiction.
The little guy has always thought that Jiang Ziya must be very comfortable riding four dislikes, where do you know, after he went up, he felt that the reindeer were really not suitable for riding, the front of their bodies was wider, but the back was getting narrower and narrower, and they slipped backwards after walking a few steps, and they could only hold the antlers.
When Kichi rode around the reindeer, the Evenks were surprised: the reindeer were not completely domesticated animals after all, and they were still relatively wild, especially the bucks, who hated to be touched by their antlers, which was their weapon for mates.
But this little girl rode in a big way, and the buck below was honest, and he had never seen such a good behave. The old men now completely believed Eguna's words: this little girl must be a messenger sent by the gods.
"Wow, that's a big oneβ" Kiki exclaimed again, and saw another strange creature appear in front of her, with a body more than two meters tall and about the same length, a head bigger than a reindeer, a head a little like a cow, but much larger than a bull's head, a short neck, and a high and bulging back, a bit like a camel's hump.
"This is also a four-way dislike. "This guy is like a deer and a cow, his back is like a camel, and he has a mane on the back of his neck.
The fat man also looked at this strange guy and was stunned, it looked like he was seven or eight hundred pounds, what kind of deer is this?
He has only seen two kinds of deer on Daqing Mountain, one is a sika deer and the other is a red deer, and this big guy in front of him is definitely heavyweight compared to them.
One
The old man came slowly, and Eguna followed. The old man pointed to the pass, and Eguna translated: "This guy is called Handa, the scientific name is Moose, because the back is like the hump of a camel, they are the largest among the deer, and our clan has also captured more than 1,000 catties of Handa." β
"Handa, I've heard of this name for a long time, and I thought it was a beast. Qiqi blinked her eyes wide and said that she had heard the name from Wang Sanpao.
And according to the word "rhino", and imagine this animal as a beast of prey, I didn't expect that it turned out to be a deer, but this guy is really fierce enough, it is estimated that in addition to giraffes and elephants, it is considered the highest.
The big braid suddenly said: "We have seen the word elk in ancient books, and the moose in it refers to the moose. β
The fat man nodded again and again, he agreed with the knowledge of big braids in this area and was stronger than him as a college student, after all, people can even test gooseberries and blackcurrants.
"Alas," Qiqi suddenly sighed, "this moose can't be ridden, and there's a hump on its back." β
The big braid poked down on her forehead: "If you are worried about everything, I will call you a rider after riding." β
The fat man immediately nodded casually: "Well, that makes sense." β
A few of them were happy, and the old man of Evenki spoke again, and Eguna also translated with a smile: "Today is just in time for the return of the hunting party, and we will treat the distinguished guests with the best meat." β
Fat was also happy when he heard it: hehe, I have to eat again.
Kiki also jumped on the back of the reindeer, followed a group of little babies into the forest, and went wild with pigtails, and walked around the hunters' village to see the real Evenki style.
With the return of the hunting team, those woodcarved flutes are full of laughter, fat people they lived in Wang Sanpao's small cabin in the mountains and forests, which is basically similar to this woodcarved flute, so it is not too novel.
There are thirty or forty woodcarved corrugated trees, and the population of the entire hunter village is less than two hundred. Walking and walking, the fat man was attracted by a unique house in front of him, the horse frame is a bit similar, it is also fanned with reeds, the horse frame is triangular, this one is conical.
At the top, there are seven forks and eight forks, and more than twenty wooden poles stick out, tied together with ropes. The lower part of the poles was planted in the earth, and the city was surrounded in a circle, and all sides were covered with reed curtains. There is a small square opening in the southernmost part, which seems to be the door.
"This is the Puluozi, the house where we Evenks first lived.
Now they have all moved into the woodcarved flute, so there is no one to live in, and the construction of one here is just to tell those little babies not to forget the history of our nation. Eguna explained to the fat man the origin of the house.
The fat man and the big braid looked at each other: it seems that the life of the Evenks is really primitive enough.
The two of them got into the door, and the fat man suddenly had the illusion of crossing time and space and returning to the primitive period: the inside was not narrow, but the space was narrower the higher up, the ground was covered with animal skins, and you could sit on the ground.
As you can imagine, if you count nine cold days and live in a house like this, it will be really bearable.
Coming out of the pinch, the fat man and the big braid have a feeling of being reincarnated. The fat man said twice: "If anyone wants to dislike that their house is not good enough, let him live here for a year." β
Under the guidance of Eguna, the fat man and they entered a woodcarved flute, compared with the Puluozi just now, this place is spacious and bright, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth.
Wang Sanpao and the car boss were sitting on the kang drinking tea, and the old Evenki man just now was accompanying him, and when he saw the fat man, he hurriedly handed over a big eye bag on the cigarette.
The fat man could only take two symbolic puffs, and then looked inside the room: the kang was covered with animal skins, a pair of antlers hung on the wall, and several paper cuts were pasted with patterns, which looked more like works of art.
And the most surprising thing for the fat man was that in the house, there were many household utensils made of birch bark. For example, a triangular box of tobacco leaves with a clean-cut image of a reindeer printed on it.
The big braids were interested in the knick-knacks on the top of the small cabinets, such as the small and delicate sewing boxes made of birch bark, and the satchels made of birch bark with patterns of flowers and plants, which were absolutely exquisite, and even hats made of birch bark.
The fat man was also amazed in his heart: each nation has its own characteristic culture, and like these birch bark products, if they live in ten or eight years, they can become a unique scenery in the market.
Only the national is the world, and the fat man, as a person who has come over, can better understand the profound meaning of this sentence.
However, the fat man is also a little worried in his heart, with the progress of society, the hunter village of Evenki does not know how long it can last, and these cultures of this nation will gradually submerge?
The fat man shook his head and shook the question out of his mind, it was too complicated, and the fat man really didn't want to bother with it, and of course, he didn't dare to think about it.
