Because they were attacked on the way, the crowd became more cautious on the rest of the journey.

Originally, the forty-minute journey took an hour and a half, especially after Luke's death, there was a thorny problem that no one could take over his previous job and drive the sled, but fortunately, Zhang Heng stood up at this time, and he had been observing how Ole drove the dogs to manipulate the sled, and now there is no problem with the basic steering and acceleration and deceleration.

Ole and Alethia were still a little skeptical about this, but after Zhang Heng got started and practiced for five minutes, they also put their minds at ease, so after that, Zhang Heng took Sachus, Ole took Luke's corpse, and Alethia had already taken Songjia and went on the road again.

They didn't encounter any danger on the way after that, and as they got closer to the tribe, Alethia's hanging heart gradually relaxed, and when she saw a low building on the snowy field, her spirit was completely relaxed.

"We're home."

With more than two hundred people in her tribe, Arethia is one of the largest tribes in the vicinity, and although people have been moving out over the years to live in Nuuk or other towns on the island, almost half of them have remained, but they are mainly old people, and there are not many young people like Arethia.

There is no way around it, young people are always more interested in the outside world, in fact, even Arehya spends more time in Nuk, where she studied and worked there after graduation, but she would regularly come back to learn shamanic knowledge from Kunayu.

Unlike the records in the video materials and books, the houses where the tribes of Alethia lived were not igloos made of ice, but wooden houses similar to those in the town, which looked very sturdy and sturdy, but the colors were not as bright as those in the town, and some houses had snowmobiles next to them, 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 tribe on the island, and even the people who remain here have basically broken away from the life of drinking blood in the past, and their way of life has changed greatly.

According to Arethia and Ole, the Inuit tribe today is still very close to each other, but it is no longer the same as in the past, and children are sent to school to learn cultural knowledge, even if the result is that young people choose to leave the land after being exposed to the rich and colorful life outside.

But Kunayu said that nothing should be forced, and if one day the tribe is really gone, it proves that everyone is living the life they have chosen, and there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, many small tribes have disbanded themselves or joined forces to form large settlements over the years, moving towards towns.

And Arethia'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 Arethia return to the tribe, the tribe people are cordially greeting her and Ole behind her, who is also a frequent visitor here, and basically everyone in the tribe knows him.

In addition, they are also looking at Zhang Heng and Songjia with curious but not malicious eyes, Arethia's tribe is not far from Nuuk, and there are usually some visitors, but it is rare to see foreigners who are also yellow-skinned, as for Songjia, no matter where she goes, she can gain a lot of attention from the opposite sex.

However, they soon realized that there seemed to be one person missing, and Luke, who had gone out to pick him up, was not in the team, and when they saw what was covered by the blanket behind the sleigh, many people had realized something, and their expressions became sad.

"Kuna is still waiting for you at her quarters." An elderly man walked up to Arethia.

"Okay, let's get over here."

Alethia took Zhang Heng and the others to a wooden house that didn't look big, this house was no different from the other houses in the tribe, but everyone who passed by here couldn't help but slow down, and a look of respect would appear on their faces.

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

Hearing this, Arethia pushed the door and walked in, while the others stayed outside for the time being, leaving room for the pair to exchange greetings, and five minutes later the door of the wooden house was opened again, and Arethia poked her head out of it, "It's okay, the teacher invites you in." ”

Although Ole has been complained about by the two partners, there will still be etiquette, so Zhang Heng and Songjia walked in front, and he himself was the last to enter the hut, and he brought the door with him.

After Zhang Heng entered the room, he saw an old man about sixty or seventy years old sitting at a table, but it was different from what he imagined, the old man was not wearing any strange traditional clothes, or wearing any strange jewelry, she was wearing a gray thick sweater on her upper body and a pair of cotton pants on her lower body, which looked like an ordinary grandmother.

If it weren't for the fact that Arethia was standing by her side with a respectful expression, I am afraid that no one would believe that this old man was the most powerful shaman among the Inuit now.

Zhang Heng and Song Jia saluted the old man after entering the house, and the latter waved his hand to sit down at the table, and then got up and took out a pot of freshly brewed coffee from the kitchen.

"You came at the right time, the Brazilian coffee I bought online for someone to help me finally arrive, and Yves who went to Nuuk to do an errand brought it back for me, just in time to taste it together." Kuna said with a smile.

Arethia took out five teacups from the cupboard, then took the pot of coffee from Kunayu's hand and poured it into the cup, Ole took one of them, looked flattered, and drank it all without caring about the heat.

And Song Jia also picked up the cup and drank it in small sips, and only Zhang Heng did not move in the table of people.

Seeing this, Songjia put down the cup and whispered in someone's ear in a Chinese, "This is the coffee that Kuna Yu brewed, even if you don't like it...... Drink as much as you want to show respect. ”

As a result, before she finished speaking, she listened to Kuna on the other side and said, "It's okay, I can feel that he doesn't have any ill will towards me, but he is more vigilant, which is completely different from his parents, I remember that his mother loves to laugh, as if she is not wary of the world at all, even in the closed Inuit tribe, I rarely see such a pure smile." ”
