In a world of ice and snow.
Several Eskimos are catching seals in the snow.
What they used to catch seals turned out to be a slight feather.
In the snow, the weathered-looking Eskimos wear thick clothes and boots made of sealskin.
An old Eskimo, followed by several sled dogs.
I saw him take out a ball of feathers from his boot. They were the feathers of a seabird, and they still carried the old man's body temperature.
He pulled out a small piece of down from a ball of seabird feathers. He put the appropriate feather in his mouth and gently licked it, moistened the feather with saliva, and then hung the feather on the front of a bracket made of seal fat. .
The harsh arctic cold can glue the feathers tightly to their supports.
The old man carefully placed the stand next to a small ice hole.
This ice cave was dug by the old man in advance to attract seals under the ice to come and breathe. Whenever the seal breathes through this ice hole, its breath causes the feathers on the stand to sway slightly.
This is the best opportunity for seal hunting.
When the old man observes the change of feathers, he will attack decisively and stab the seal under the ice with a long spear with a rope, giving the seal a fatal blow.
This kind of spear is somewhat similar to a harpoon. Once it is stabbed, the barb will be firmly inserted into the seal's flesh, and then the seal will be pulled up from the ice by pulling the rope.
After doing all this, the old man drove several sled dogs a little farther away from the cave entrance.
Then he held the spear and stood motionless next to the ice cave, patiently observing the changes in the feathers in the ice cave.
He had to catch a seal today, and his family had been without food for several days.
The children were waiting for him to come back with food.
In such a freezing season, seal meat is almost all their food.
Today besides him, there are several other companions.
They all stayed in front of their ice caves, waiting patiently.
It depends on who has better luck.
They waited for several hours, but still no seal came.
The severe cold of more than 40 degrees below zero made their hands numb.
Sudden.
The feathers in the hole swayed slightly.
The old man picked up the spear and thrust it into the ice hole.
But unfortunately, the strength in his hand told him that the stab was missed.
Blood began to leak from under the ice.
But he pulled the rope.
Sure enough, the seal ran away.
Falling short of success.
The old Eskimo just sighed.
This is the normal state of hunting. Eight times out of ten seal hunts will fail.
And it alarmed the seals here, and they had lost the chance to hunt again.
Several people gathered around each other and shook their heads.
Today was another day without any prey.
They packed their things and planned to go back.
at this time.
A burst of blue light shone not far from them.
Lu Ning appeared here.
What came into view was a vast white world, and the temperature suddenly dropped from more than 30 degrees to more than 40 degrees below zero.
"Where is this?"
"Antarctica? North Pole?"
Unexpectedly, he suddenly disappeared from the prairie and reappeared in this place in the blink of an eye.
"Someone!"
Lu Ning quickly spotted several Eskimos in the distance.
Several sled dogs also roared crazily in Lu Ning's direction.
His appearance was noticed by several Eskimos.
They stopped and looked at Lu Ning doubtfully.
Lu Ning stepped on the white snow.
Although there was snow as far as the eye could see, the snow didn't seem to be thick and it didn't sink his legs deeply. He could still see the frozen soil below when he kicked hard.
He walked up to several Eskimos and looked at them curiously.
Several Eskimos also looked at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning looks somewhat similar to them, but Lu Ning is dressed strangely and is completely different from them.
More importantly, Lu Ning was wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt just now.
This is more than 40 degrees below zero.
But they didn't feel the cold from Lu Ning's body.
Several Eskimos gestured casually towards Lu Ning and said something to him.
It's a pity that Lu Ning couldn't understand what they were saying.
"I don't understand what you are saying."
Lu Ning replied loudly.
When speaking, he also waved his hand.
They must be Eskimos.
Lu Ning already had the answer in his mind.
He had also seen introductions about the Eskimos in movie documentaries before.
Therefore, he can be sure that he should be in the North Pole now.
Lu Ning glanced at the triangular metal object in his hand and found that it was still emitting a hazy blue light, flickering on and off.
It seems that there is no telling when and where he will be teleported.
But it's quite interesting.
This way of traveling is so exciting.
Several Eskimos were very curious about Lu Ning's appearance.
They invited Lu Ning to sit on the sleigh and followed them back to their camp.
The campground is actually just a few igloos.
Lu Ning's arrival attracted the attention of all the Eskimos in the camp.
Lu Ning took a look and saw that there were old people and children, a total of 15 people.
A kind-hearted woman got into the igloo and took out a dress made of seals and put it on Lu Ning.
"Thanks."
Although he knew she didn't understand, Lu Ning still smiled and nodded at the other party.
This woman seemed to be the wife of the old man who brought Lu Ning back. There was an 8 or 9-year-old child beside them.
Everyone gathered around Lu Ning. They looked up and down and talked to each other from time to time.
They looked at Lu Ning for a while, and then at several teenage female Eskimos in the camp.
What surprised Lu Ning was that they started building an igloo.
It looks like it was built for him.
It seems that Lu Ning has been regarded as one of them.
I saw them holding wooden boards and walking onto the ice next to the camp.
Several people first shoveled away the snow on the ice with wooden boards to expose the ice layer below.
A young man found a stone frozen in the snow.
He selected a stone of suitable size and used it to break the ice.
The ice is just thick enough to serve as a wall.
The young Eskimo smashed a crack in the ice with force, and the man next to him poked a hole along the crack with a spear, so that he could use the principle of leverage to pry off a piece of ice of suitable size.
Lu Ning watched from the side and nodded secretly.
They are really wise.
Then they poked a hole in the ice with their spears, passed the rope through it and tied it up.
Such a piece of ice weighs at least several hundred kilograms, and it would take several hunters to drag it back.
Everyone worked together to drag the ice wall piece by piece to the right place.
Lu Ning was not idle this time either.
Under the shocked eyes of these Eskimos, he directly lifted an ice wall weighing several hundred kilograms and placed it where the igloo was to be built.
His move made these Eskimos chatter a lot to Lu Ning.
Emotional and excited.
With the addition of Lu Ning, their efficiency has become even faster.
Slowly, a big igloo was built.
Lu Ning walked in and saw that it was probably more than ten square meters.
Entering the igloo, the temperature inside was much higher than outside, and there was no such cold wind.
Everyone came to the igloo and started celebrating.
Their way of celebrating is naturally different from that of China.
The main purpose is to exchange hunting experiences and compare strength.
Two people are pulling each other's rope to see who is stronger.
There are also two shirtless men beating each other on the shoulders with their fists to practice the movement of seal penetration.
Some people put ropes across the igloo and then rolled up and down, just like playing on a horizontal bar.
Lu Ning found it very interesting.
Except for the Eskimo men, the women stayed aside quietly. They looked at the men's performances from time to time, and looked at Lu Ning from time to time, with smiles on their faces.
It seems to be daytime here.
Can't feel the passage of time.
Lu Ning's cell phone screen had already turned black.
He could only tell from the fact that these Eskimos were sleeping that it must be night time.
He was alone in the ice cave.
He looked into his ice cave and saw a bed made of fur, a special seal candle was lit next to it, and a long spear stood in the corner.
This is the furniture that the Eskimos made for him.
Very simple.
But it is very practical here.
Just when Lu Ning was thinking about taking a rest, suddenly, a huge polar bear attacked the camp.
As the climate warms and the ice shrinks, polar bears' hunting grounds are drastically reduced. Starving polar bears have to choose some extreme measures to maintain their lives.
Like attacking an Eskimo camp.
The polar bear, which is more than two meters tall, is running rampant like a giant beast.
It crashes an igloo and targets weak children.
Women screamed and men scrambled.
The old Eskimo picked up the spear and stabbed it into the polar bear, but it only broke a little skin.
Seeing that the old Eskimo's child is about to die in the polar bear's mouth.
Lu Ning appeared.
At this time, he was still more than twenty meters away from the polar bear.
He raised his spear and threw it fiercely.
puff.
The polar bear's head was pierced, and its huge body fell down.
The child was saved.
When everyone looked towards Lu Ning, they found it was empty.
The person is no longer here.
