The mother star secretly transformed itself from us

The so-called people are people in a simple and literal sense without any attachments or added value, such as Little Miss Big Leizi on the Sky Island, Old King Li Cang swinging his pickaxe with sweat pouring down from his head, and the beast on the igloo. A group of people wrapped in leather and with white beards and hair, looked at each other in three directions, each with their own clear stupidity in their eyes.

It is an igloo covered with ice bricks arranged in a hexagonal shape like snowflakes. Three rows of shelves are stretched out in front of the igloo. One row is hung with salted fish and meat, another row is hung with animal skin products, and the other row is hung with pots. The igloo Not far from the village, there are some straw fish steaks and catamaran canoes that have been frozen in the ice. The smoke from the cooking stoves is indifferent to the world. Those people are standing a kilometer or two in front of the village, raising their hands and jumping. Yelling and screaming, you can understand what they mean without having to listen: this road is blocked.

Li Cang waved to Gou Kun to take Li Laixi and the young lady, and suddenly landed in front of the crowd. Seeing such a terrifying and majestic sky-walking behemoth, these people all looked frightened, either lying on the ground or stroking them with one hand. He bowed his head and bowed down, speaking in fragments and pieces that neither Li Cang nor the translator could understand. Rather than "speaking", it was more like mumbling to oneself or praying.

Surprisingly, these people even have different skin colors. There are yellow people, Hispanics and even mixed Africans. They can also be distinguished in more detail. The ones who can be directly recognized by the naked eye include the Inuit and Mongolian people. They were of Indian origin, and then there were a few people who looked less stout and slightly taller, who seemed to be Indians.

"Get up, get up, we don't want this!" Lao Wang's persuasion and kindness were in vain, so he muttered to Li Cang, "Does it sound like primitive people who often appear in movies worshiping aliens as gods? ?Really? Damn it, what on earth are they talking about?"

Under the Great Identification Technique, the identified data can almost be called a blank slate. The average panel does not exceed 20c. For a numerical monster like Mr. Li Cang, who often has hundreds or even thousands of resident data, he is no different from ordinary people, emmm , on the other hand, it would not be an exaggeration for them to call each other a god descending to earth.

At this time, the expressions of several people in the Tianshen group were several times more confused than the others. Let alone wondering whether they understood the other party's language. Even the people speaking several languages ​​didn't realize it until a long time later. After working hard for about ten minutes, the translator, which had been down for a long time, finally got some clues and managed to partially translate the two languages ​​spoken by several of them - their language included Cyrillic letters, Spanish, Latin, French and suspected Indian languages, and almost all are excerpts. No sentence can be fully translated by the translator, and most of them are not even included.

In the end, Li Laixi directly filled up a language pack on the forum and the two parties were able to barely establish communication.

Li Cang's attitude towards ordinary people who have no hostility has always been tactful, and can even be called "coddling": "What are you doing here? The previous beast tide and zombie tide did not attack you?"

The other party's language was quite messy, but there was only one core appeal. He hoped that Li Cang's island would be spared their home. The words were full of humility and fear.

Li Cang looked around for a long time: "Where is your empty island?"

The other party pointed to the dark swamp mud that could be seen dimly frozen under the ice cap, and shook his head: "Our island is not our island. It is occupied by creatures from hell. We can only wander."

"The empty island with clear ownership was driven away by the insects on the island?" Old Wang bared his teeth, "These people are really... tsk."

The established track of Sky Island is definitely not easy to correct now. Even if you switch to manual driving, you will have to take a lot of detours.

Li Cang waved his hand: "Move!"

The dog-legged man rushed forward in a mighty manner, swung various alienated alloy farm tools and began to output physical values ​​​​to the ice under the opponent's camp. The opponent was still very panicked at first and did not dare to persuade or persuade. Stopped, and soon they discovered that these wet parts were not malicious and were just helping them with the overall demolition of the ice layer along with the foundation. It was extremely difficult for them to survive in this alienated environment of the ice field with their strength. The ice Their houses and meat product reserves directly depended on their lives. They probably did not expect that this group of terrifying beings would be so kind. They were surprised and naturally thanked them profusely.

During the pleasant communication between the two parties, Li Leisi had already followed the scent and got into the other party's kennel and started rolling around. There were hundreds of mixed-race idiots who were as big as polar bears. They all had dark, moist noses and bright eyes. The lacrimal glands are short and shallow, and it is obvious that he has not suffered much and has been raised well.

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

"_"

Naturally, there is no such thing as wariness among the three sled fools. None of the dogs let go, and they were all in a mess. Li Laixi became a leader in minutes, and she had already begun to think about setting up a sled to pull the sledge.

Everyone on the other side listened carefully to the voice coming from the translator. One of them, an aunt with extremely small eyes and dark pupils, immediately pointed at her tribe and gave a series of instructions. Then she apologized and said that they had no extra wood to make sleds. Some of the wood was made into boats before it was frozen. These dogs have not learned to pull sleds and sledges. Instead, they are all good swimmers and are good at diving to help them catch fish.

This aunt, who was about fifty years old, seemed very authoritative. She circulated the envoys of the tribe, and then cautiously and enthusiastically invited Li Cang and others to their camp: "Dignified guests coming from afar, we are like a giant whale blocking the way." The fish and shrimps in front of us, with extremely humble hearts, we sincerely thank you for allowing us to keep our home and allow our people to survive. As a reward for you, we sincerely and honoredly hope to be able to stay in the warm and comfortable big igloo. To entertain you, we will eat the best whale sharks and taste the most delicious wine. If you arrive before the glacier, we can have many gifts for you, but now, I hope you will not dislike it, entertaining such a powerful and friendly person like you. It is an honor for all clan members to be a distinguished guest.”

With just such a sentence, the translator almost started to smoke in the cold wind of 50 to 60 degrees below zero.

Surrounded by people singing and dancing, the great hospitality is hard to resist.

The sky island is still some distance away, and the progress of opening up the Ice Valley channel is not bad. After a few people exchanged looks, they simply agreed.

The large igloo is obviously not used for daily living. It is a special room opened in the ice below the camp that only connects part of the surface igloo. It is a spherical structure, with tunnels, floors and walls reserved on the top for ventilation and smoke diffusion. It was covered with thick furs and there was a large fire pit piled with stones in the middle.

Li Cang was cheerful the whole time, but Lao Wang sniffed as soon as he entered and gave his professional opinion: "Teacher Cang, the smell is wrong!"

"?"

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

"roll!"

After the fire pit was lit, the indoor temperature could even reach above zero. In addition to the appallingly dry air, it was already relatively comfortable. Several elderly grandmothers served fruit plates to Li Cang and the others, and then went to the room. A hanging pot was hung on the fire pit, filled with frozen milk.

Lao Wang picked up the small, crystal-clear green fruit on the plate and threw it into his mouth: "Here I go, I thought it was a berry. It smells like kelp. Is this thing called sea grapes or something?"

Two plates of seaweed, two plates of dried meat, one plate of blue pastries, and one plate of indescribable cakes. Lao Wang didn’t dare to touch them. He picked up another piece of the blue stuff that looked good and threw it into his mouth. His face instantly became extremely miserable.

"Is it delicious?"

"Blueberries, raw fish, butter and sour cream, guess how delicious it is?"

emmmm

Just by hearing it, he knew that this was a taste that he could hardly imagine being able to enjoy.

With a spring-like smile on his face, Li Cang took the milk tea handed over by the old lady and nodded in greeting. He personally watched the old lady pry the tea leaves from the tea bricks with a crowbar. Seeing is believing, and there is nothing fishy about it.

"Pfft~"

Seeing is believing, but seeing is not necessarily eating.

Li Cang felt that instead of taking a sip of milk tea, he took a mouthful of fish oil and a weirder fishy liquid. This thing was like a set of military punches in his mouth against the uvula, and he was beaten directly by Li Cang. I had stars in my eyes and foaming at the mouth. Upon seeing this, Dalei Zi silently put down his tea cup and calmly picked up the puppy he had just brought into the house. His face was cold and noble, trying to be decent but not impolite.

"What does it smell like?"

"I don't know."

The patriarch's aunt rushed over in a panic, and under the curious eyes of a group of people, she pointed out the composition of two raw materials that they had never dreamed of: "It's dog milk and whale milk."

Li Cang: "."

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

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm a picky eater personally, but my friend, he likes this kind of thing the most. Give him another big bowl, fill it up!"

Lao Wang's eyes bulged out.

The young lady was leaning against Lao Wang with her legs crossed, but after hearing Li Cang's words, she immediately changed her position, and even changed to a less dignified cross-legged sitting position, with her back straight and her eyes not squinting.

Several old ladies laughed and looked slightly relaxed. The aunt who was the patriarch fiddled with some kind of peat-like lumps that were burning in the fire pit: "Grandma, take a bucket of snow, and then go to mine." Get a teapot from the igloo. The distinguished guests are not used to milk tea, so I will make some pure tea for them to drink."

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

"I and most of the people here are Inuit. We lived in the Chukchi Sea before the disaster. Compared with the marine environment in recent years, we are indeed more accustomed to the current frozen world, but the cold wave is too In such a hurry, we didn’t have time to store enough food to sustain us through the winter. My intuition tells me that this will be an extremely long ice season.”

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

"There are frozen fish and shrimps under the ice, as well as some terrestrial beasts. The cold wave has frozen the dark Devil's Swamp. Those hellish creatures are no longer a threat, and the animals that appear on the ice are also better than before. There are several times more. Every week, I organize the tribesmen to go out collectively to set traps, sometimes for strange animals, sometimes for birds. The harvest is usually meager, but it is already very good!"

When it comes to swamp worms, that weathered face is full of heartfelt fear.

Lao Wang held a large bowl of milk tea but did not drink it. He walked around the igloo and observed the stitches on the animal skins and the decorations with totems on them: "How many people are there here? Why don't you see any young people?"

"There are a total of one hundred and seventy-two people in the tribe, and some of them have gone out to check traps and hunt. As for the young people, they will not show up until later." Clan leader Sedna smiled brightly, "Dear guest, the tea is ready After cooking, it is high-quality wild tea picked by the tribe before winter comes. It has great benefits in regulating the five qi of the internal organs. Men will be stronger after drinking it, and women will have fair skin after drinking it. I think you will also taste it. If you like it, you might as well try it.”

Lao Wang looked at his bowl helplessly, with distress written on his face.

Li Cang thanked him and took the tea bowl: "I'm sorry for destroying your home. After the empty island passes, I will try to restore it to its original appearance, or help you build an ice bridge above the ice valley for easy access?"

Sedna said: "No, no, no, your guests don't know. There is a lot of food frozen under the ice that we can't usually reach. This ice valley has a more positive significance for us. We can mine deeper and richer food in the ice." With food resources, we can build safer and more secluded houses on the cliffs, and we can also do many things that we can’t do at ordinary times. Therefore, it is me and my tribe who should thank you!”

"Is that so?"

"Yes!"

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

"You don't need this distinguished guest."

"I really like it!" Li Cang interrupted, "What supplies are you lacking here?"

Sedna was so happy that she couldn't stop crying: "I really don't know how to thank you. If possible, we hope to get some green leafy vegetables. Winter has just arrived, but my people can't." Without relying on raw fish and animal livers to supplement vitamins, some tribesmen cannot get used to the Chukotka lifestyle and have begun to have diarrhea and become bedridden. Sorry, I am not expecting to get medicines from you, such precious things. "

In a word, everything is lacking here except ice and snow.

Li Leisi suddenly said: "Are you willing to change your life? We can send you to a human settlement!"

Sedna hesitated instead, her heart fluttered for a moment, and she swallowed hard.

"Thank you for your kindness. Sorry, it's our empty island."

If you stay here, you can at least have the hope of getting the Sky Island back. If you leave, there will be unpredictable changes in the world, and then there will really be nothing left.

Li Laisi shrugged and continued to pet the dog.

Lao Wang said smoothly: "Can't we just dig it out? Oh, yes, there are also bugs."

It took three days to dig the channel, but they didn't even understand how this thing reproduced. There were no traces of insect eggs or the like at all, and there were so many large and small ones that they were filled with pits and valleys, and they were everywhere, except for the twins. The cancerous deformation of the tyrant is estimated to be completely cleaned by cancer bullets. But if this thing is used, then for normal people, it may be better to use the empty island to raise insects. At least the empty island is still there. no?

Li Cang put down the tea cup: "We have to dig around here anyway. With so many of you, apart from your own subordinates, you can also divide a group of strippers to come out and sacrifice a little bit to clean up the empty island. The insects are not very active now. If you pay attention to protection, the problem shouldn’t be too big.”

Sedna's eyes lit up: "This"

"The track line waits for no one. There is only so much we can do. Even if it is compensation for the forced demolition of your home, if you want to take back the empty island from the hands of the insects, now is the best time. I think it should be when they are active. Not easy to mess with.”

In the past month or two, I have been busy with some strange tasks that I don’t know what they are, which has delayed my coding. I try to adjust my working hours and biological clock and return to normal updates during the day as soon as possible.
