In the end, Uta didn't say anything. He faced everyone's eyes and said nothing.

Man is a herd animal, and few people can resist the actions of the herd.This is unreasonable, Chang Wuyou looked at Uta's silent back.If Uta was only wary of strangers at the beginning, now, this vigilance seems a bit too deep-rooted.

If you don’t have a clue about something, go find it.

The best way to understand a tribe is to listen to the elders of the tribe.Are they healthy and cared for.What is the story in their mouths, the old people are the epitome of a social group, and most of the economy, customs, and values ​​can be reflected in the old people.

Chang Wuyong looked at Freya on the side: "Flya, I always remember that you said that the wild duck soup cooked by Old Ram is delicious."

Freya was clearly delighted and said, "Anas, I bet old Ram's seal broth would be good too."

They cut off a large piece of seal meat and brought it over.Chang Wuyong found that there were a series of small footprints in front of the old Ram tent where he lived alone, compacting the fluffy snow.

Old Ram's hearing is very good. As soon as they walked to the tent, they heard a kind voice from inside: "Little Tok? Didn't I tell you that you have to help Tana press the cowhide before you can come and listen to the story?"

After his eyes adjusted to the dim light in the tent, Chang Wuyou saw an old man with white hair sitting on the animal skin: "Oh, it turned out to be Xiao Liya, the troublemaker. There is still a lot of beef left over from the beef you gave me last time. I say a little berry a day for an old man like me-"

"Old Ram." Freya dragged her voice, she was obviously very dissatisfied with being called the troublemaker Xiao Liya.

Old Ram ignored her, she looked useless, and her voice suddenly changed: "This is the ominous person that Chiopardo said?"

Chang Wuyong unexpectedly discovered that Old Ram's skin was very fair, she had a pair of light blue eyes and red hair.This European-like appearance is completely different from the Nanook people.After this period of contact, Chang Wuyong has discovered that Nanook people are usually dark-skinned and black-haired. Compared with Asians, their skin is darker and their cheekbones are higher. If you observe carefully, you will find their The facial features are more three-dimensional.

And old Ram...

"No wonder little Uta hates this female doll so much."

What do you mean by that?Subconsciously, it was useless to ask, but she found that there were no respect words in Nanook.

"Old Ram, why does Uta hate Anas?" Freya asked.

Old Ram said with a smile: "Xiao Liya, bring the seal meat here, I think you are starving."

Old Ram was also watching, often useless to realize.So she pulled Freya, who still wanted to ask a question, and sat down.

The broth was indeed delicious.

The minced seal meat is boiled in sea water, and Lao Lamu’s fire is well controlled. She also added a little dried leaf, which is very fragrant.

They were eating when there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the tent.Several children whose faces were flushed from the cold ran in.

"Toke said that he saw Freya enter Lao Ram's tent." A childish voice said, and Chang Wuyou found that the one who spoke was the little boy who hugged her leg that day.

"You guys are coming to grab my soup again, I'm going to turn into a white bear and eat you all." Fulia put down the bowl and deliberately lowered her voice. She opened her hand fiercely and waved towards the children. Grab it.

"Giggle, run—" the children laughed and bumped into the tent in a panic.

It was useless to see that each of them was holding a small bowl.

The game wasn't over until Freya picked up the two little boys one by one in each hand.The children unbuttoned their necklines and pulled their hands out of their sewn sleeves. Everyone drank two full bowls of broth. Looking at Old Ram's smile, Chang Wuyou finally understood why the pot of broth was so heavy. That's enough.

"They're all mischievous, so they need to sew up the cuffs, otherwise their hands will be frozen in winter." Freya whispered to Chang Wuyou.

"Xiao Liya, the troublemaker, is telling others to make trouble behind her back!" A little girl made a face at them, and she said to Fu Liya, but her eyes couldn't help secretly looking at Chang Wufu.

So did the others, who drank the broth and stared at Chang Wuyou.

"Tell a story, tell a story—" The little ones who were full began to ask again.

Chang Wuyong saw that Old Lahm closed his eyes in time, and even let out an unreal snoring sound.

"Stories, stories—" The little ones turned their fire on Freya.

Fu Liya was shouted and ran away: "It's not like you don't know, I'm the worst at telling stories."

Indeed, as early as the "Long Talk All Night", Chang Wuyong discovered that Freya's verbal skills... are really poor.

Fluttering eyes began to look at Chang Wuyou, they didn't say anything, but their eyes were in unison, looking at Chang Wuyou very persistently.

"Okay." Chang Wuyong smiled.

"I can tell you many stories." Among other things, storytelling is a piece of cake for Chang Wuyu.

"Wow!" There were admiration in the tent one after another, and they looked at Chang Wuwu expectantly.

"We, one story, change two stories, how about we make up our own?" Chang Wuyong continued.

Children at this time are the critical period for the formation of intelligence, and letting them tell stories by themselves can make their development better.At least...Chang Wuyong took a sneak peek at Freya, at least as long as her verbal skills are not inferior to Freya's.

Apparently no one has made such a claim on them.

The little ones were stumped, but they felt that it was worth two stories for one.

The first person to eat crabs was Little Toke, the oldest child, about 5 years old.He stammered a story about being beaten up by his mother when he was playing with a puppy and fed it seal skins pressed by his mother.

As soon as he said a few words, his face turned red, and his voice became smaller and smaller as the story progressed.

"You are really a kid who can tell stories." The beautiful big sister said softly, and she touched Little Tok's head: "This is the most interesting story I have ever heard."

Little Tok's eyes lit up with joy.

The big sister exchanged two stories as promised.

Next, the children began to jump up and down, and everyone bravely stood up and told a story.It was their first time speaking in front of a group, and they felt nervous, uneasy, and excited.The most important thing is that everyone was touched on the head and received different compliments.Little Tucker got the "most thrilling story," while little Donna got the "most touching story."Everyone thinks the two stories they got in exchange are extra fun, Tucker Jr. thinks "Aladdin's Lamp" and "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" are the best, while Donna Jr. sticks with "Cinderella" and "Snow White" Just the best.

It wasn't until their mothers came to look for them in Old Ram's tent that they reluctantly went back. Along the way, they couldn't wait to tell their mother the story they had exchanged.

Before he knew it, the "sleeping" old Ram opened his eyes.

"You are fine." She said with a smile, "I trust my own eyes, and I also trust Xiao Liya's eyes."

"You have exchanged so many stories with the children, and I want to give you a story that you really want to know." Old Ram said.

Chang Wuyong looked at Old Ram in surprise, she had lost hope today.

Next, Old Ram told them a very distant story.

"It was a winter day..." Old Ram's voice wafted through the tent.
