"Well, in a word, you know, in this extremely cold area in the north, the fun is not only ice and snow." Qi Ying said with a smile, "every place has its own unique customs. The East China Sea has the characteristics of the East China Sea, and the Arctic also has the culture of the Arctic. If we continue to go in, we will always see people here. "

The wind is strong and the snow is heavy.

The wind and snow all over the sky, all because of the cold here.

If ordinary people come here and don't wear that kind of clothes to keep out the cold, they will soon freeze to death.

The snow on the ground is also very thick. If Qi Ying and Qi lie were not flying in the sky, maybe half a person would be trapped in the snow.

After a flight.

Qi Ying and Qi lie began to see traces of people's activities.

In the snow, it is no longer a smooth blanket, but lines of rutting.

It's not true that it's rutting.

Obviously, it is not rolling out, but sliding out, and in the middle of each pair of "rutting marks", there are scattered but arranged with some kind of rank footprints, not human, but some kind of animal.

"It seems that the way the indigenous people travel here is to pull a sled."

X} is the R version of the first

Qi Ying guessed.

Sure enough.

As soon as I had a good idea, I found some people riding on sleds. Each sled is half the size of a common standard carriage. Generally, one or two people with heavy clothes and tightly wrapped body sit on the sled. At the same time, the sled will carry some animal corpses.

Pulling the sled is a kind of animal with white and black fur. It looks like a dog, but its running posture and footprints are very similar to those of cats. Its movements are extremely light, and its footprints on the snow are not deep. In front of each sled, there were five or six such beasts running, some a little more, some eight or nine, and only three or four less. They all ran fast one by one, with white air in their noses.

Qi lie also found those people: "what are they sitting on? I want to go, too. "

"Go. Go ahead. But don't scare them. "

Qi Ying said.

Their bodies flashed quickly, and they immediately flew dozens of miles away and fell on the snow.

Qi Ying completely restrained her breath and transformed her black robe into a thick black cotton padded robe. In the Arctic cold, even the low-level monks had to put on leather clothes to keep out the cold, but she was still wearing the previous single robe, which was very abrupt.

Qi lie also painted gourd ladle, red robe has become a very thick red cotton padded jacket, a red in a snow-white world, looks funny.

They were standing in the middle of the snow. Soon, a sled, which they had observed before, appeared in the line of sight close to them.

Qi Ying waved her hand and called out twice.

The driver of the sleigh shook the reins, and the dogs began to slow down one by one. When the sleigh reached Qi Ying and Qi lie, it just stopped.

There were two people on the sled, both wearing extremely thick animal skins. The driver of the sled was a middle-aged man who was tall and two heads higher than a normal adult in Midland. In addition, there was a young woman who was no less tall than the middle-aged man.

The six dogs in the sled are all looking at Qi Ying and Qi lie, and their mouths are closed. A white dog, bigger than other dogs, bares his teeth and rushes forward, biting Qi lie.

The middle-aged man got out of the car and slapped the white dog on the head. The latter lowered his head and rubbed his brain bag against the man. In a moment, he changed from a fierce beast to a docile pet.

Qi Ying held her left shoulder in her right hand and her right shoulder in her left, and bowed to the middle-aged man. This is the etiquette of the Arctic aborigines recorded in the ancient books, which symbolizes the respect for the local civilization.

Qi lie had a good example, and he also made a gift.

When the middle-aged man saw them salute, he was satisfied. Then he said in a strange Chinese Dialect: "my name is' Accra '. Two guests, are they from Middle Earth? How could it be on this wasteland? "

Qi Ying had already thought about her words: "Mr. Accra, I'm Qi Ying, followed by my brother Qi lie. We are all travelers from Middle Earth by sea. Unexpectedly, after we got off the ship, we lost our sled and lost our way in the snowstorm. Now if you want to find a place to eat, it's better to warm up. "

Accra looked at Qi Ying carefully, then looked at Qi lie seriously: "are you two twins?"

"Yes. What's the matter? "

Qi Ying wondered, at the same time, whether there was any strange legend about twins in the tribe or country of the indigenous people in Accra? Because when I was in the main world, I saw some mysterious stories about how twins were regarded as ominous people in some places. If someone gave birth to a pair of twins, one of them had to be thrown into the forest for tigers or jackals to eat.But Accra couldn't close her mouth with a smile: "ah, ah! Our village is short of twins! Two guests, please get on my sleigh

"Ah?"

Now it's Qi Ying's turn.

Qi lie became curious: "this little Oh, uncle, why do you lack twins? "

The woman on the back of the car said: "don't rush to know, it's a great good thing! When you get to the village, it's not too late to know the surprise. "

"Oh." Qi lie nodded and added, "it doesn't matter what needs us. Just don't eat us."

Accra was stunned: "guest, where are you from? We don't have cannibals here. "

"We came here by a detour from the East China Sea," Qi explained. There are cannibal tribes on some islands. Ha ha, we were also surprised at that time! "

Accra said with a smile: "although we are only rural villagers, we are civilized people, and we are very hospitable. It won't be bad for the guests. Don't talk about it too much. Standing in the snow, even if you have practice, you can't stand it. Let's get on the sleigh. Our village is more than 100 miles away. With these Shaqi, we can get there soon. "

"So these are Shaqi."

Qi Ying suddenly.

According to the records of Shaqi in the ancient books, it is a common domesticated animal in the Arctic, one of the animals that often make sled animals. There are also several similar sled animals, which are similar in appearance to Shaqi, but Shaqi is the most docile one.
