Chapter 31: Entering the Snow Clan
Imola and Joey have been silently moving forward in the wind and snow as they are heavy, and their steps are gradually starting to become heavy, after all, Imola and Joey do not belong to this extremely cold place, but their goals are still firm in their hearts. The Snow Clan, what this strange race is really like, Imola and Joey are full of curiosity. The yearning for the unknown determines the pace of progress. In Imola's heart, she knew that whether it was Joey or Shenshen, she owed them a favor. One makes up for the past, and the other repays the future.
Sometimes people are so confused, often thinking in their hearts, but unable to speak, and always feel that they can be recognized by silently paying. What did Imola come all the way for? She couldn't say it herself, but she followed Joey silently like this, and repaid Shen Shen silently like this, which was the relief in her heart at this moment.
In the wind and snow, the three of them walked side by side, and the atmosphere was always a little dull. Imola had already looked a little tired, and the vitality she had consumed before had not yet recovered to full score. "Shenshen, are you Eskimos really not afraid of the cold?" Imola dragged her tired body and squeezed out a sentence between her teeth, thinking about breaking the congealed atmosphere.
Shen Shen was a little surprised by Imola's sudden question, and he also stopped and helped Imola and said, "Compared to you, it must be counted." We have been living in such an environment since we were born and growing up, and the cold and wind and snow have long been commonplace for us. But without the thick coat, I don't think it will last long. ”
"Oh, okay. cough~cough~" said Imola and began to cough. The invasion of wind and snow made her steps seem a little reluctant, and her body could no longer withstand the ice and snow. How difficult it was for them to walk one foot deep and one foot shallow in such a boundless snow.
"Imola, what's wrong with you?" Joey immediately caught up with Imola and hugged Imola's arm on the other side.
Imola didn't want to stop because of herself, and after all these days in the extreme cold, she had already understood that waiting one more second in the wind and snow was an extra second of testing. She held Joey and Shen Shen inattention, and with a slight swing of her palm, she secretly cast a spell for herself, using her magical power to support her tired body and warm her body. After casting the spell, Imola felt better, straightened her back, pushed the two of them away and said, "Hey, I'm fine, I'll just rest for a while, you go first, I'll catch up in a while." ”
Joey didn't notice that Imola had secretly cast a spell for himself, but still helped Imola and said, "Hey, let's rest in place." With that, Joey asked Shen Shen again, "Hey, Shen Shen, how far is your tribe?" In fact, Joey was already exhausted at this time, and he was thinking about why he agreed to the heavy request in the first place, which put him in a difficult situation.
"It's coming, it's coming. It's just ahead, hold on a little longer. Shen Shen looked urgent, she knew that this trip would be bad luck without the help of Imola and Joey.
Joey still decided to rest on the spot, and if he rushed down, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold it anymore. "Let's take a break. Ah, I suddenly feel that you can live in such a strange environment because of your awesomeness. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it even for a day. I'm cold and hungry now, and I feel like I'm going to die. Apparently Joey was unhappy with the situation, and he had managed to enjoy some comfortable days in the ice cellar, but now he was embarking on another difficult journey. Although he complained, Joey was a trustworthy person in the end, and since he agreed to Shen Shen's request, even if he died, he would die in the tribe that Shen Shen wanted to go to.
"Okay, then you guys just rest in place. I'll go ahead and explore the way first, and you'll catch up in a moment! Shen Shen saw that they were indeed a little overwhelmed, so he had to promise them to rest for a while. I hurried to the front to explore the way, hoping to return to the tribe as soon as possible.
The land is covered with snow all year round, and strong winds hit the land from time to time. Don't say that you want to live here, even if you want to die, you can only be frozen to death. I don't know how many souls are buried under this boundless snowfield. In such an environment, where the sun is high all day long, and all around is a desolate white, not to mention ordinary people, even such heavy Eskimos can easily get lost. If you want to get out of here, you can only rely on experience and luck. Before the start of the trip, Shen Shen, Imola and Joey decided that they would move forward side by side and hand in hand along the way. And the direction is to listen to the heavy command.
After resting for a while, Joey and Imola decided to continue on their way towards the vast snowfield, catching up with the sinking people who were exploring their way forward.
Imola thought as she walked, looking at the two of them left at this time, Joey and her, she seemed to want to say what was in her heart, after leaving Joey for so many years, it seemed a special luxury for her to recognize each other. But if you can't say it at this time, if you die here, wouldn't you take your regrets with you?
"Joey!"
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"I ...... I have something to say to you. Imola was a little stumbling, as if she didn't know how to speak.
"Do you want to rest for a while? Then we'll take a break before moving on. At this point, Joey didn't realize what Imola was trying to say to herself. He just wanted to catch up with Shen Shen as soon as possible, and he didn't know if it was safe for her to go alone to explore the way. After all, the ice and snow are cold and cold, without a trace of emotion.
Imola hesitated for a moment, but decided to pluck up the courage to say what was in her mind: "Joey......"
"Hey...... Hey......." Just as Imola was about to speak, Shen Shen in the distance shouted loudly as she waved frantically to them.
"Looks like she's found something, let's hurry up!" As he spoke, Joey pulled Imola forward without looking back.
Imola missed another chance, and maybe she will never be able to say what she wants to say.
In life, there will always be hesitation in the face of choices, and people are afraid of choosing because they are afraid of disappointment. Disappointment negates his choice, but time takes away the opportunity to start over.
Imola was silently pulled forward by Joey.
Finally caught up with Shen Shen, Joey put his hands on his knees and gasped: "Yes...... What's the ...... Found? ”
Imola beside him was already too tired, and some of the energy that he had just transmitted for himself with magic had disappeared, and his beautiful face was pale.
"Why are you running in such a hurry, look at Imola, you're too tired to do it." Shen Shen looked serious and complained about Joey. "Imola, are you alright?"
Imola was dragged by Joey and ran for a while, she was really tired, but she still persevered. He waved his hand towards Shen Shen and said, "I...... I'm fine. What did you find? ”
Shen Shen looked at Imola, but still said, "Look, there is our tribe in front!" ”
"What?" Joey suddenly became excited, and after walking for so long, he finally reached his destination.
The three of them stood on the snow slope and looked ahead, only to see a snowy field in the distance densely covered with igloos of all sizes. Some are made of square snow blocks, while others are built on small snow slopes. The igloo seems to be shining brightly, and it really looks like a starlight at night on the vast snowfield, as beautiful as fireflies in the daytime.
"Wow. That's your tribe? It's so imposing! Joey exclaimed.
Shen Shen pointed his finger into the distance and said, "Look, that's our main palace!" ”
Looking in the direction of Shen Shen's finger, it turned out to be a huge snow slope, which is more apt to say that it is a snow slope than an artificial snow mountain, and it is as tall as a white palace. At the foot of the foot, there is an entrance carved out of the palace entrance. The huge icicles and tall ice beams are simply imposing. Seeing such a great building in such a barren land, Imola and Joey both showed expressions of surprise.
"Huh? Oh my God, that ...... What is that? Host...... The main palace? Joey really couldn't believe his eyes at this point. Even in his own town, he had never seen such a magnificent building. What's more, it was in this ice and snow wasteland that his understanding of the Eskimos was instantly raised to a higher level.
"Yes, that's our main palace, where I used to live." The deep tone seemed proud, but for a moment it lowered again, and whispered, "Now...... Now it belongs to Bercho and them. ”
Imola looked at the silent Eskimo girl, stepped forward to pat her, and said, "Shenshen, don't be sad, our trip is to find a way to find out the details of them, and see if there is any way to help you get back what you deserve." ”
"Take back what I deserve?" Shen bowed his head and said silently. In the eyes of her simple Eskimo child, nothing is deserved and nothing is to be lost. Indeed, for a person like Imola who has experienced the baptism of the world, love and hatred may be very important, but for the heaviness that is as pure as water and as transparent as a mirror, everything may sometimes be empty. What is the past, although I often think of my parents and siblings, but everything seems so insignificant when I am lonely.
"Yes, we'll help you get it back there!" Saying that, Joey showed a resolute gaze and pointed to the ice palace.
She was silent, perhaps thinking something in her head, but she couldn't say it.
"Heavy? Heavy? Looking at Shen Shen standing in a daze, Imola shook her and called for her.
"Huh? How...... What's wrong? Shen Shen suddenly came back to his senses, "I...... What do we do next? ”
"We're all at the door, why don't we go in and say hello?" Imola looked determined and took a step towards the snow palace in the distance.
