Big Islander 2

Chapter 498 The Great Migration

"Son, my son is on Peach Blossom Island, he's probably crying right now—" Brother Datou didn't understand, and thought Shi Dan'er was talking about Tang Lele.

It wasn't until Shi Dan'er explained it to him again that Brother Datou thought about it, and felt amused: "I haven't seen the baby before~ Mom, I got an eldest son, isn't that ridiculous? "

Shidan'er chuckled, "You can have a child if you want, I think they can bring it to you right away." According to Inuit customs, marriage and family are extremely fragile, and you can go to someone else's house to take it away. The matter of the master's daughter-in-law is not unheard of.

When Tang Jide heard this, he was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again. He didn't dare to try this kind of thing.But seeing the little boy beside him looking at him expectantly, Tang Jide couldn't live up to his kindness.After scratching the back of my head for a long time, I finally came up with an idea: "I can't stay here forever, why don't I teach you some skills, and in the future, you will be the great wizard of the tribe, okay?"

After Shi Dan'er's translation, everyone in the room looked sorry. They thought that the big-headed wizard would settle down here; Not bad, if there is a brilliant wizard in the tribe in the future, it will definitely prosper.

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Tang Jide was completely relieved. Although he now has two wives, it's not that the big head brother is flirtatious, but that these two wives share joys and sorrows with him, and there is no gap between them.

Touching the little guy's head, Tang Jide asked his name. From Shidan'er's mouth, he knew that the boy's name was Harpoon, which was similar to the little anchor in Peach Blossom Island.

Because Tang Jide and the others have to make a big circle, it is not convenient to take the little guy.The next morning, send him to the transport ship, then go back with Mr. Captain and the others first, just in time to learn the language.Otherwise, it would be a joke for the master to teach the apprentice, and there must be an interpreter next to him.

Seeing the polar bears fishing for food on the shore, the Inuit in the tribe began to point and point. After Shidaner’s translation, he also understood: They said that there are no polar bears on this island, and they have to go further. Going hundreds of miles to the north is the territory of polar bears.The sea over there should be frozen by now, and their tribe will migrate there soon.

In fact, Xiao Xiami also knows that polar bears cannot survive for a long time just by fishing for clams at the seaside. This place is just a transfer station. Let the big stupid bear adapt to the environment first, and the next journey will be the real test for them .It just so happened that the Inuit were also migrating, so they simply moved together so that they could be taken care of.

A few days later, officials sent by Alaska also came here. Tang Jide had already contacted them. This time, the governor also rushed here, which is considered to be enough face for Tang Jide.

But Brother Big Head saw that he was not as pleasing to the eyes of those natives. To put it bluntly, he came here for life essence, and his motives were not pure in the first place.

During the conversation, the governor talked about his care and love for the indigenous peoples. For example, the entire northern part of Alaska was assigned to the Eskimos; some mountainous areas in the central part were inhabited by Indians; and he also raised funds, Help these aborigines build houses, allocate food and so on.He simply said that he was kinder than Tang Dashan.

The more Tang Datou listened, the more impatient he became: If you really care about the aborigines and don't disturb their lives, it is considered the greatest care for them: develop the oil and gas resources here, mine underground gold mines and other minerals, and set up waterways in the sea , discharge all kinds of pollution, isn't the good Arctic region all destroyed by man?

No matter where the aborigines are, at least they have lived on the land that belongs to them for thousands of years without causing damage; and in just a hundred years, because of the intervention of civilized people in the civilized world, how many pure lands are left on the earth?
Seeing the displeasure on Mr. Island Owner's face, the governor, who is good at observing words and expressions, began to change the subject, euphemistically mentioning the distribution of vital elements.However, these rules and regulations were signed at the beginning, so it is natural to check the implementation. If they do reserve space for the survival of the indigenous people and provide assistance, Tang Jide does not mind letting them taste the sweetness. After all, for the indigenous peoples, this It's a matter of mutual benefit.

After Xiao Xiami reviewed the documents and materials provided by Mr. Governor, Tang Jide also signed on them, and then told them to go to the transport ship to collect the vital essence.As for the shares given to the local aborigines, Tang Jide couldn't go anywhere, so he could only ask the governor to do it for him.Anyway, they have to sign the paperwork at the end, so they probably won't cheat.

After dismissing Mr. Governor, Tang Jide welcomed an old friend, who turned out to be an Inuit wizard who had participated in the first Aboriginal Conference, and came here upon hearing the news.As soon as they met, they hugged Tang Jide and jumped up and down, and finally the two fell on the ice together and laughed.

"Don, as I said, I will be waiting for you in Alaska. I didn't expect you to come until now!" This wizard enjoyed a high reputation among the Inupiat people in Alaska, and he was clearly the leader.Seeing him and Tang Jide being so intimate, the little wizard in the tribe felt ashamed: It seems that we really misunderstood our friends at the beginning!
The great wizard warmly invited Tang Jide to visit their tribe. Their tribe has basically settled down, their life is relatively stable, and the number of them is also the largest among the Inupiats in Alaska.

However, Tang Jide considered that he still shouldered the important task of escorting the polar bear, so he politely declined, which made the great wizard very regretful. He drank with Tang Jide here for three days, and then reluctantly left.

Unknowingly, more than half a month has passed. These days, there have been several blizzards, and the entire land has been completely covered by ice and snow.Even at sea, more and more ice floes appeared.The transport ship could no longer move forward, so after completing the mission, Mr. Captain took it back to the voyage. Only Tang Jide and the others were left, migrating north with the Inupiats.

The great migration of the safari people was quite spectacular. The snow was densely packed with dog sleds, some of which were pulled by reindeer.The pheasant kept yelling, "I'm going to do this, to be Santa Claus!"

On the sled, in addition to various production tools such as spear fishing nets, there is also a summer reserve of food and animal skins and other living utensils. Because of the special natural environment here, there is basically no fuel. At most, animal fat is used to cook food. and lighting, so they eat raw food most of the time, which is probably the origin of the name Eskimos.

Of course, children who are too young and the elderly also have the right to ride a sled.Comrade Vasily, who was hanging out with the little kids these days, also mixed in.

Although there are enough sled dogs in the tribe, there are still not enough sled dogs, so there are still some young and strong people who are pulling vehicles similar to sledges to move forward in the ice and snow.

Tang Jide is in the same boat with them now, so he goes up to help pull the cart, plus the two strong men, Xiaobai and Daguai, the three of them can easily support ten strong laborers.And their car is mainly loaded with processed combustible ice. I believe that in this winter, people in this tribe can eat cooked food.

This non-polluting and light fuel is especially suitable for the use of Inuit people. After discussing with Xiao Xiami, Brother Big Head and Xiao Xiami signed a supplementary agreement with a country whose territory is within the Arctic Circle and has purchased combustible ice mining and utilization technology. The plan: to provide the fuel to the local Inuit people.Anyway, together, there are more than 10 Inuit talents in the world.As for the fee, it will be deducted from Taohua Island. After all, the technology transfer is not given to you for nothing.

Before departure, a simple ceremony was held by the wizard.Originally, Mr. Wizard was going to give up this honor to the big-headed wizard, but unfortunately the big-headed wizard was not familiar with their rules, so he had to give up.

Tang Jide asked Shi Dan'er for a while, and then he realized that the prayer content of the ceremony was mainly to hope that God would bless them to catch more prey, and that no one in the whole tribe would starve to death, which is also a good wish.

As Mr. Wizard pointed to the north with his hand, dog sleds started one by one.To say that these Alaskan sled dogs are really strange, the colder they are, the happier they are. They have long been impatient to wait, and after receiving the order, they barked excitedly and rushed forward.

Tang Jide noticed that the Inuit people are very particular about driving sled dogs. A big dog leads the front, and a dozen sled dogs are scattered behind, holding ropes and moving forward together.

All the sled dogs had their mouths wide open, their tongues sticking out, and their four paws raised a puff of snow, and they ran happily.On the snow, there were dog paws and two rows of sled prints, extending into the distance.

Xiaobai and the big monster didn't show any weakness, they took two long legs, each step was more than three meters away, and they stepped out of a deep and big snow nest on the snow.

On the contrary, those big pyrenes were not in a hurry, acting like a gentleman.But although they looked slow, they didn't pull down very far.But some of them also pull sledges with frozen fish on them, which is their own thing. There are more than 100 bears and bears, the old nose has eaten them all.

It seems to smell the fishy smell, and some greedy guys are always thinking about stealing it.So Daxing was in charge of supervising, holding a piece of rattan in his little paw, and knocking on the nose of anyone who cheated.

The worst thing was Big Brother. There was no sign of plant life on the snow. He couldn't use his strength at all.

"Big head, you're even more bearish than a polar bear—" the pheasant couldn't help complaining, this guy just stood up and talked without pain in his back, and it hid in the pitcher, where it couldn't be blown by the wind or hit by the snow.

"Believe it or not, I threw you into the ice hole—" Tang Jide was already depressed enough, but when the pheasant said it, he became even more angry.When the pheasant heard this, it quickly retracted its head into the pitcher cage, took a bite of the cage cover, and hid in the small building.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiami knew that Uncle Datou had a hard time here, so he deliberately lagged behind by a certain distance and helped Tang Ji pull the car.As we walked forward, more and more little polar bears were left behind, and they were all thrown into the car. Big Brother sighed: "It's really not easy for a family to take care of—"
