Chapter 1731 This story is quite familiar

The next morning, Xiao Peng woke up to find the two women gone. He and Kasim were the only ones in the room, sleeping on the floor. They'd arrived at the room Ekaterina had booked, but it turned out to be a military guesthouse, little more than a standard hotel room. The two women each had a bed, while Xiao Peng and Kasim took sleeping bags from the car and slept on the floor.

In fact, Xiao Peng liked the feeling of sleeping on the floor - the beds in these Nenets guesthouses were too dirty.

In fact, the two women did not sleep in the bed. After Xiao Peng and the others lay down, they left secretly.

Xiao Peng knew they had left, but they didn't care. Why bother with them? Maybe they'd just figured out how to get back to Noyabrsk after seeing how dirty it was.

When Xiao Peng and his companion finished washing up and were ready to go to the reindeer festival, they were stunned when they walked out of the room: there were several Nenets boys standing at the door.

Xiao Peng's first thought upon seeing the Nenets was: "They are Mongolians." Their similar yellow skin and black hair made Xiao Peng feel very familiar.

But the Nenets boys were not very friendly when they saw them. When they saw the two people coming out, someone pushed them back into the room and told them not to come out.

Xiao Peng and Ka Xin were both confused. What did this mean? Were they being controlled?

And these people are holding guns!

Kassin immediately regretted not getting the gun out of the car yesterday.

The two Nenets guys spoke a long conversation to Xiao Peng, and this time it was Xiao Peng and Kasin's turn to be confused - the guys spoke Nenets, a language that is only circulated among the Nenets people, and is a completely different language from Russian. Xiao Peng and Kasin stared at each other.

What does this say?

I don’t understand at all!

Xiao Peng tried to communicate with them in English, Russian, French, Dutch, German, Chinese, and every other language he knew, but he found himself speaking to a deaf ear. There was no way for the two sides to communicate.

Where's the lady from the guesthouse? At least she can speak Russian! How come these guys can't even speak Russian?

He wanted to go downstairs to find a Russian aunt to act as an interpreter, but the Nenets people refused to let them out.

He remembered when he first arrived in France.

At that time, his French was so poor that he couldn't communicate with the French at all. Learning a language requires a language environment. When he arrived in France, he learned it very quickly...

Sign language!

But I can’t express my meaning clearly using sign language with these Nenets people!

You can't let others control you like this, right?

Ka Xin said: "Boss, how about we fight our way out?"

Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at Kashin. "Do you have any brain muscle? This is a Nenets gathering place. Putting aside the fact that everyone here is Nenets, can we escape if we attack them? Just think about your Russian preferential policies towards the Nenets. What do you think the consequences will be if we attack them? If things get really out of hand, can Desarev handle it?"

"What should we do then?" Kasim asked puzzledly.

Xiao Peng took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back and see what's going on!"

The two retreated to the room and racked their brains but could not come up with a solution.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before there was a knock on the door. When Kasin opened the door, there was a Nenets man standing at the door.

The man was about fifty years old and was wearing the traditional deerskin clothing of the Nenets people. He was not tall but very strong - the Nenets people are generally very strong, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the low temperatures here.

"Hello, friends from afar." Xiao Peng almost jumped up when he heard the Nenets man's first words: although his pronunciation was not as standard as his own, it was indeed Russian.

However, Xiao Peng's joy faded in a flash. He snorted coldly and said, "Friends? You're locking your friends in a room like this?"

The Nenets people were not angry, but introduced themselves: "My name is Tadubehe. We do this with no ill will towards you."

Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "Tadubie?"

The Nenets corrected him: "Tadubehe!"

"Tadubieha?" Xiao Peng was a little confused. The pronunciation of Russian was weird enough, and the pronunciation of Nenets was even weirder, completely different from the Chinese pronunciation.

The Nenets corrected him again: "It's 'Tadubehe'... 'He'!"

"Tadubehehe?" Xiao Peng had thought himself gifted with languages, but now he realized he'd underestimated the world's heroes. What kind of language could produce such a sound?

The Nenets man was also helpless: "Forget it, forget it, just call me the Great Shaman."

"Great Shaman?" Xiao Peng turned serious after hearing this.

The Nenets, who still maintain their traditional lifestyle, believe in shamanism. Shamans hold a high position in their lives, and all decisions require divination beforehand. A Nenets village typically has two leaders: the clan leader and the shaman. All decisions are essentially made through consultation between these two.

The status of the "Great Shaman" is even higher. He is the leader of the shamans of several villages.

Due to its geographical advantages, the village of Yarsare is a well-developed large village in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region, a leader among nearby villages. Young men from Yarsare are known for their easy marriages. The reindeer festival is so lively because young men aspire to marry a woman from Yarsare—even though Nenets women don't have a high status, they still come from here!

Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Great Shaman, there's something I don't understand. What do you mean by doing this to me? Why did you lock me up?"

"Lock him up?" The Great Shaman was stunned after hearing this, and then cursed: "Those idiots! They misunderstood what I meant."

Xiao Peng didn't listen to him, but asked, "Where are the two girls with us?"

After hearing this, Kasim smiled. This is his boss. When encountering problems, the first thing he thinks of is not himself but the people around him. Even though he looks fierce to the two girls, he still cares about others.

The kindness inherent in the people of Daxia is truly reflected in the boss.

The Great Shaman said, "The great god Inga did not want to let them go, so they had to offer sacrifices to the god Numu, and only then would Numu protect them."

After hearing this, Xiao Peng stood up with an angry look on his face: "What did you do to them?"

The Great Shaman said directly, "Calm down, young man. I've sent them to Satan!"

"Satan?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened. "What do you mean? Can we kill people casually here?"

Satan is the devil! Wouldn't sending people to Satan mean they would be killed?

"I'm talking about Satana, the daughter of our clan leader. They're classmates, and every time they come here, they go to play with Satana!"

Xiao Peng almost wanted to curse, what kind of accent is that!

"Then why did you lock us up here?" Xiao Peng asked.

The Great Shaman said seriously, "Our people rescued two people in the wild yesterday. One of them had a gunshot wound in the leg!"

"Um?"

Xiao Peng blinked. This story sounded familiar!
