On the sled of a dog, the excellent hunter of the Eskimo took control of the direction and moved freely on the snow.
There are more than a bearded hunter wearing a white-haired hat on the sled, and a dead seal is pulled behind. Several fish of different sizes are strung on the fishing line, shaking with the progress of the sled.
Turning over several snow hills, the hunter saw an ice house, pulling a rein, and the sled slid a few meters on the ground, and finally stopped.
The hunter, with thick gloves, licked the ice on his beard and first dragged the seal from behind the sled. Adult seals can weigh up to 180 kilograms. This half-size seal also has a hundred kilograms. If it is not assisted by a sled car, the hunter will kill it successfully, and it is difficult to bring the prey back in the snow and ice.
The hunter opened the thick felt of the igloo, and a ten-year-old Eskimo girl stood up: "Dad, have you caught a seal today?"
The hunter put down the seal and saw her daughter Tess's happy face. He couldn't help but lick her hair. The winter of food shortage has passed, and his daughter will not go hungry. How can he make him unhappy?
Tess ran out and hugged the dog with the sleigh, and brought the fish in. The food was too much for a while, buried under the snow, fresh and clean.
Although Tess was only ten years old, she was already a good helper at home. She was very close to picking up seals with her father.
"Father, look!" Tess found the blood-stained beads in the belly while washing and peeling the seals. She wiped them twice with snow on the ground and found that it was a round pearl, and she happily raised it. Show the hunter.
The hunter took a look at it for a while, such a pearl, in the Arctic, is really rare, and I don’t know what the seals have eaten.
When she saw Tess like it, he gave the beads to her to play.
The hunter took the seal's internal organs and fed the dog before returning and eating the seal meat.
There is nowhere to make fire in the snow and ice. The Eskimos have been eating raw meat since the beginning. Recently, with the progress of society, in addition to this extremely northern place, there have been very few igloos to eat raw meat. The hunters and fathers are a minority. One of the adherents.
After eating the seal meat, Tess lay on the felt and played with the beads.
There are many Eskimos nearby, and everyone is helping each other. The hunter takes most of the seal meat and gives it to the neighbors.
Tess was alone in the igloo, holding beads up and down to play. The Eskimos were originally migrated from Asia thousands of years ago. They are short, yellow-skinned, black-haired, typical Mongolian, and Tess looks like a little girl in China.
The hunter came back and saw Tess still playing the bead, seeing his daughter like it, and he was happy too. Tess's mother died when she was producing. For so many years, he raised Tess by goat's milk. She relied on a hunting technique to keep her from eating food, but he really didn't know how to accompany him. The young girl is playing... is the dog that his family sleds, and he is more fun than the girl.
It is located in the Arctic Circle. There is no night in the summer. At the turn of the winter and summer, the night is mixed with a blizzard, which is particularly late.
Because he lived in an igloo, he couldn't make a fire at night, or the ice house would melt. The hunter gave Tess a thick bear skin felt. The daytime hunting made him tired and quickly fell asleep at the other end of the house. It is.
Tess didn't know why tonight, but she couldn't sleep because she was full.
The bead that was taken from the belly of the seal during the day was held in the hands of Tess. In the cold night, the beads seemed to have a warmth, which made her unwilling to let go.
Tess has also heard several fairy tales. This bead has come to her. She always feels that there is a fairy hidden inside.
Of course, until the little girl squinted into the middle of the night, she was so sleepy that she couldn’t sleep, and the so-called fairy was not running out of the beads. However, the water aura around the beads fluctuated so badly that it was called the little girl who couldn't put it down.
The next day was a sunny day. The hunter had eaten the seal meat and went to the neighbors to discuss things in the morning.
Tess played with the sled dogs at home, the water aura around the beads became more and more strong, and the affinity of the water made people reluctant to put it down.
At lunch time, the hunters came back.
It turns out that they have accumulated a lot of seal skins all over the winter, and they don’t want to be pushed by the leather goods merchants who wandered between the Eskimo tribes. They decided to go to the town to sell them themselves, so they have to go out for a few days and call Tess at home. Don't go out at night.
Tess was absent-minded and promised to put on the bead.
The hunter passed the daughter and took out the seal skin accumulated throughout the winter. He loaded the snowmobile with a full vehicle and took the food and set off.
Tess was so active that she could stay in the house for two days, but it was ice and snow, and no one spoke to her. Even the sled dogs went together. She was a little girl in her teens. She listened at night. When the wind was mixed with the sound of snow on the door felt, I couldn’t sleep.
Hearing a whimpering sound near the igloo, Tess was scared and curious, rolled up from the felt and quietly opened the door felt.
The neat rows of footprints in front of the igloo have not been completely covered by the wind and snow.
Hey, is it that the father is back?
Every time the father came back from the town, she always brought back a lot of sparkling candy. Tess thought of the smell and forgot the previous whimper, thinking that her father was wearing a big woolen dress at a neighbor's house not far away. Just ran out along the footprints.
There was snow in the night, and the little girl was blown away by the wind. She couldn’t discern the road. Only when she walked down her footprints, she found no way. This direction was not to the neighbors.
Tess didn't know how long she had gone. She only felt her legs getting stiffer and heavier and he was freezing.
Looking up and looking around, Tess finally understood, and she lost her way! Such a snowy night, lost in the snow, will be dead.
Little Tess finally remembered that her father told her not to go out at night, the small mouth was frozen, and it took a long time to cry.
At this moment, Little Tess heard the movement in front of her. She tried to squint her eyes. There was a strong figure a few meters away. Is it a father?
Little Tess walked two steps, saw the figure, and held his mouth tightly - that is the father, clearly a polar bear, holding some meat in his hand, the red rope above is Tess personally tied !
It turned out that it was not the father who came back. The polar bear was stealing the seals and fish in the snow outside the igloo!
Polar bears also smell the taste of strangers. They are the least picking animals. When they can't catch fish in summer, they will rely on carrion to cross the Arctic summer. Naturally, they also want to eat people, especially as Tess is not attacking. Children... The polar bear dropped the meat in his hand, like Tess.
Tess turned and stumbled and ran two steps, and fell to the ground. The beads held in her hand also fell out. Tess could not see where it fell in the night.
The feet were trapped in the snow, and Tess, ten years old, was so scared that she forgot to cry. The claws of the polar bears continued to enlarge in her eyes, and Tess curled up into a ball, and her father was shuddering in her mouth.
At this moment, the direction in which the beads fell out suddenly suddenly picked up a dazzling brilliance, and the polar bear seemed to notice something, scared to go back two steps.
Tess squinted and looked at the beads she had played for a few days, emitting dazzling light, gradually floating into the air, and blinking again, a woman in a skirt suddenly appeared in the place where the beads were shining -
Against the light, Tess couldn't see the woman's appearance, and the glowing beads were worn on her wrist, like a little sun, lighting up the night of the Arctic.
Wearing such a thin, so beautiful dress, the woman who suddenly appeared, is it to save her fairy?
Ten-year-old Tess stared at the figure that the fairy had come over, and then she felt the tears of fear.
