Chapter 1538: The Ice Field People

The so-called people are people who do not include any attachments and do not cover any added value. In simple, literal sense, the little lady of Thunder on the empty island, the old Wang Li Cang who sweats and swings a pickaxe under her head, and the group of people who are covered with animal skins and beards and hair on the igloo, looked at each other, looking at each other with clear stupidity in their eyes.

A dome igloo with snowflake-shaped hexagonal tiles arranged in snow, three rows of shelves were stretched in front of the igloo door, one row of salted fish and meat, one row of animal skin products, and one row of pots hanging. Not far from the igloo village were some straw woven fish steaks and canoes with two-body sails hanging in the ice. The smoke was curling with the world. Those people were standing one or two kilometers in front of the village, jumping their hands and shouting, and they could understand their meaning without listening to it: this road is blocked.

Li Cang waved and asked Gou Kun to take Li Lace and Miss, and landed in front of the crowd. When these people saw such a terrifying and majestic giant beast, they all looked frightened, either crawling on the ground, or stroking their chests with one hand, bowing under their hands, saying things that Li Cang and the translator couldn't understand. Rather than saying "talk", it was more similar to murmuring or praying to themselves.

Surprisingly, these people even have different skin colors, including yellow people, Hispanics and even Africans, and they can be distinguished more closely. Those who can be directly recognized by the naked eye include Inuit Mongolian ethnic group, and then a few of them who look not so thick and look slightly tall and look like Indians.

"Get up, get up, we won't promising this!" Lao Wang's persuasion and kindness were in vain, so he muttered to Li Cang, "Is there any primitive people who often appear in movies that worship aliens as gods? Is there any? Damn, what are they talking about?"

Under the major identification technique, the data identified can almost be called whiteboards. The panel with an average of no more than 20c is no different from that of ordinary people for a numerical monster like Li Cang Lao Wang, who is often hundreds or thousands of permanent resident. Emmm. On the other hand, it is not an exaggeration to the other party to call it the gods descending to earth.

At this time, the expressions of the several people in the Tianshen Group were several times more confused than the other party. Don’t think about whether they understood the other party’s language. Even the people spoke in several languages ​​after a long time of realization. They worked hard for more than ten minutes. The long-distanced translator finally found out a little and barely translated some of the two languages ​​spoken by several of them. Their languages ​​include Slavic letters, Spanish, Latin, French and suspected Indian, and almost all are excerpts. No sentence can be fully translated by the translator, and most of them are not included.

Finally, Li Lace directly charged a forum language pack to establish communication.

Li Cang's attitude towards ordinary people who are not hostile is always tactful, and he can even be called "dormant": "What are you doing here? The previous beast tide did not attack you?"

The other party's language was quite messy, but there was only one core demand, hoping that Licang's empty island would let their homes go, and the lines were full of humility and fear.

Li Cang observed around for a while: "Where is your empty island?"

The other party pointed at the black swamp silt that could be seen vaguely under the ice cap, and shook his head: "Our island is not our island, it is occupied by creatures from hell, so we can only wander."

"The sky island with clear ownership rights was driven down by insects on the island?" Lao Wang grinned, "These people are really...tsk..."

The established track of the Sky Island is definitely not easy to correct now, and even if you turn manually, you have to take a lot of roads.

Li Cang waved his hand: "Move!"

The dog legs rushed forward in a mighty manner, swung various alien alloy farm tools to output physical value to the ice layer underground in the other party's camp. The other party was very panicked at the beginning, and he didn't dare to persuade him or persuade him to speak. Soon they found that these wet parts were not malicious and were just helping them to demolish the foundation ice layer as a whole. This alienated environment of ice fields is so difficult to survive with their strength. The ice house and meat product reserves are their lives. They probably didn't expect that these terrifying existences would be kind-hearted. They were surprised and naturally thanked him again.

During the pleasant communication between the two sides, Li Lace had already followed the smell and started rolling. It was a group of hundreds of mixed-race silly fools with a size comparable to polar bears. They all had dark noses and wet eyes and bright eyes and short tears. They obviously hadn't been punished and were well-raised.

"Li Cang Li Cang, let's play here for two days. This is simply paradise!!"

"눈_눈"

There is naturally no such thing as alert as a sled. The dogs are not allowed to let go, and they are all familiar with each other. Li Lace becomes a leader in minutes and has already started to think about sledding and pulling sleds.

All the other party listened carefully to the sounds coming from the translator. One of the aunts with very thin eyes and dark pupils immediately pointed at their tribe members and said a series of instructions, and then apologized that they had no extra wood to make sleds here. The only wood was made into boats before it was frozen. These dogs had never learned to pull sleds, but they were all swimming players and good at diving to help them catch fish.

This 50-year-old aunt seemed very authoritative. She sent the clan members to her, and then carefully and enthusiastically invited Li Cang and others to their camp: "The distinguished guests from afar, we are like fish and shrimps standing in front of giant whales. With an extremely humble heart, we sincerely thank you for allowing us to keep our homes and letting the tribe live. As a response to you, our sincere and honorable hope can entertain you in the warm and comfortable igloo. We will eat the best whale sharks and taste the sweetest wine. If you come before the ice river, we can give you a lot of gifts, but now, I hope you don't dislike it. It is the honor of all tribe members to entertain such powerful and friendly distinguished guests."

In just one sentence, the translator would smoke directly in the cold wind of minus fifty or sixty degrees below zero.

It is really hard to sing and dance in a hurry.

The sky island is still a long way away, and the progress of opening the Ice Valley Channel is still good. Several people exchanged their eyes and simply agreed.

The large igloo is obviously not for daily living. It is a special room opened in the ice layer below the camp that only connects part of the surface igloo. It is a spherical structure. The top retains a corridor for ventilation and diffusion of smoke. The ground and walls are covered with thick fur, and the fire pit is built with stones in the middle.

Li Cang was very happy throughout the whole process, and Lao Wang sniffed as soon as he entered and put forward professional opinions: "Teacher Cang, the taste is not right!"

"?"

"The smell of hormones!" Lao Wang said with certainty and affirmation, "This place must have been a big party!"

"roll!"

After the fire pit was ignited, the indoor temperature could even reach zero. In addition to the excessive dry air, it was already a relatively comfortable feeling. Several old ladies of old brought fruit trays to Li Cang and others, and then hung a hanging pot on the fire pit, filled with frozen milk.

Lao Wang picked up the crystal clear green fruit from the plate and threw it into his mouth: "I went, I thought it was berries, a kelp smell. Is this thing called that sea grape or something?"

Two plates of seaweed, two plates of dried meat, one plate of blue pastries, and one plate of cake-like objects that were unspeakable. Lao Wang didn't dare to move, picked up another piece of the blue-looking thing and threw it into his mouth, and his face instantly became extremely miserable.

“Is it delicious?”

"Blueberries, raw fish, butter and sour cream, guess if it's delicious?"

emmm...

Just listening to it you know that this is a taste that he can't imagine and enjoy.

Li Cang had a smile that made people feel like spring breeze on his face. He took the milk tea handed over by the old lady and nodded to greet him. The tea leaves were watched by him with his own eyes pried off the tea brick with a crowbar. It was true and there was no trick.

"Puff~"

Seeing is true, but seeing is not necessarily a food.

Li Cang felt that he had not taken a sip of milk tea, but a mouthful of fish oil and a stranger fishy liquid. This thing was like a military fist in his mouth, which directly hit Li Cang so hard that his eyes were foaming at the mouth.

Seeing this, Da Leizi silently put down the teacup and picked up the little puppy he had just put into the house as if nothing had happened. His face was cold and noble, and he focused on being decent but not polite.

"What's the taste?"

"I... don't know..."

The patriarch's aunt rushed over in a panic, and under the curious eyes of a group of people, Qiqi Aiai said two raw materials that they could never dream of: "Yes... dog milk and whale milk..."

Li Cang: "..."

Li Cang didn't dare to drink it anymore, and he didn't even dare to take a look at it. However, he was very sure that this thing should be a relatively precious thing for the other party, at least it was the kind that he would never take it out and enjoy it easily.

"Well, sorry, I'm a bit picky about food, but my friend, he likes this kind of thing the most. Give him another big bowl and fill it with it!"

Lao Wang's eyes were widened.

The little lady was leaning against Lao Wang with her legs, but when she heard Li Cang's words, she immediately changed her posture, and even changed to a less dignified sitting posture with her waist straight and her eyes were not squinting.

Several old ladies laughed and looked a little relaxed. The aunt, who was the patriarch, fiddled with the blocks of some kind of peat burning in the fire pit: "Madam, take a bucket of snow to clean up, and then go to my igloo to get a teapot. The guests are not used to milk tea, so I will cook some pure tea for them to drink."

Li Lace asked curiously: "How did you live before? Why do you seem to be very adaptable to the cold wave?"

"Most of the people here and I are Inuit. Before the disaster came, we lived in the Chukchi Sea. Compared to the marine environment over the years, we are indeed more accustomed to the current frozen world. It's just that the cold wave is too hastily and we can't have time to store enough food to support us through the winter. Intuition tells me that this will be an extremely long frozen season..."

Li Cang asked: "Then how do you usually rely on to get food?"

"The frozen fish and shrimps under the ice layer, and some land-based beasts, the cold waves frozen the dark devil swamp. Those creatures from hell are no longer threatening. The animals on the ice surface are also several times more than they could have seen before. Every week, I will organize people of my tribe to go out to set traps together. Sometimes they are strange beasts, sometimes birds, and the harvest is usually very meager, but it is already very good!"

When it comes to swamp worms, the vicissitudes of face is filled with heartfelt fear.

Lao Wang held a large bowl of milk tea but did not drink it. He walked around the igloo to observe the stitches of the animal skin and the decorations painted with totems: "How many of you are there? Why didn't you see young people?"

"There are 172 people in the tribe. Some of them go out to check traps and hunt. As for the young people, they will only appear later." The patriarch Seedna smiled. "Dear guests, the tea has been cooked. They are all high-quality wild tea picked by the tribe before the arrival of winter. It is of great benefit to the adjustment of the internal organs. Men will be stronger after drinking it. Women will have fair skin. I think you will also like its taste. You might as well try it."

Lao Wang looked at his bowl helplessly, with a heartbroken letter on his face.

After thanking, Li Cang took the tea bowl: "Sorry for ruining the home of your life. After passing the empty island, I will try my best to restore the original appearance of this place, or to build a convenient ice bridge above the Ice Valley?"

Seedna said: "No, no, no, the distinguished guests don't know that there are many foods that we usually cannot reach under the ice layer. This ice valley has more positive significance for us. We can mine deeper and richer food resources, build safer and more hidden houses on the cliffs, and do many things that we can't do at all. Therefore, it should be that my tribe and my tribe who want to thank you!"

"Yes!"

"Well, I saw you drying a lot of good-quality fur products, with exquisite tattoos and beautiful totem patterns on them. I like it very much. I plan to buy it...Well... Maybe you can exchange some?"

"This...you don't have to..."

"I really like it!" Li Cang interrupted, "What materials are you missing here?"

Seedna was so happy that she couldn't stop her tears: "I really don't know how to thank you. If possible, we hope to get some green leaves vegetables. Winter has just arrived, but my tribesmen have to rely on raw fish and animal livers to supplement vitamins. Some tribesmen cannot get used to the Chukochi-style lifestyle and have started to have diarrhea and bedridden. Sorry, I'm not hoping to get medicine from you, such a precious thing..."

In a word, everything is missing except ice and snow.

Li Lace suddenly said: "Would you like to live in another place? We can send you to a human settlement!"

Seedna hesitated instead, and her heart moved for a moment, swallowing her saliva with difficulty.

"Thank you for your kindness, sorry, but our sky island..."

At least there is hope to get back to the empty island if you leave and the world is unpredictable, then nothing will be gone.

Li Lace shrugged and continued to strode the dog.

Lao Wang said: "Isn't it okay to dig it out? Oh, yes, there are bugs..."

After three days of digging the channel, they didn't even understand how this thing reproduced. They could not see any traces of insect eggs. Then there were a large number of large and small numbers, which were all over the pit and valley. Apart from the cancerous aberrations of the Gemini Tyrant, it was probably only the cancer bomb that could completely clear the above. But if this thing was used, it might be better for normal people to use the Sky Island to raise insects. At least the Sky Island is still there, right?

Li Cang put down the teacup: "Anyway, we are all going to dig around here. In addition to your subordinates, you can also clean up the empty island by digging out a batch of strippers. The insects are not very active now. If you pay attention to protection, the problem should not be too big."

Seedna's eyes lit up: "This..."
