Daily i move along topographic landmarks and measure the distances between of them. Then by theodolite, I measure the vertical and horizontal angles along the entire topographic profile and finally I record all the measurement data in a special log. It was getting dark. I skid down the snowy slope of the hill to move along the track of the tractor. The cold wind intensified again and continued hit me in the face, that is why I had to warm it, by cover it with a mitten. Of couse, now i began to check my face so as not to miss the frostbite.

Suddenly I heard a scream: «Ahhhh!», which turned into a groan, disappearing at the limit of hearing. It was like the cry of teenager girl coming from the right, so I stopped. But just how could a person be here, or did it seem to me? That is why I decided to check it out, maybe someone really needs my help?! So I climbed to the top of the hill on the right, where I drove around a group of large boulders and then ski down, hiding from gusts of wind in a gorge with steep slopes.

At the bottom of the ravine lay a teenage girl strewn with snow. I immediately noticed that she was dressed in local traditional clothing, which was sewn from deer fur and called Pyzhik. Also on her feet was tall and sturdy shoes, beautifully embroidered with beads called Untaykas. The young girl sobbed quietly from pain, but when she saw me, she immediately calmed down and, wanting to say something, pulled me to her.

I asked her: «What happened with you, how did you get here and where is your family?!». She answered me in a thin, slightly hoarse voice: «Omolgi, help me, please! When I rode my deer, your friends with a strong bang fired a red fire into the sky, after which my deer got scared and threw me down. Now my foot is broken and really hurts!». I superficially examined a teenage girl and was surprised to understand first that it was a miniature woman. Secondly, I was discouraged by the fact that she had never seen a signal shot of a rocket. Thirdly, apparently, she is the only one in the world who can ride while sitting on the back of a deer! True, I left my thoughts to myself and said: «Of course I shoud help, first I will take you in my arms to our CUB, where by the radio station I will call a helicopter that will take you to the hospital!».

Having said this in a confident voice, I carefully lifted the girl in my arms, trying not to hurt her. Then I quickly glided forward on the skis, but as soon as I turned to the tractor track, the girl protested: «We do not need your self-propelled home! Please take me to that hill!». To which I objected with dismay: «But there is nothing on that hill, just boulders!». Even so, she insistently affirmed: «Believe me, there is a doctor and a hospital on that hill!». The wind intensified, preparing a long blizzard, about which it informed us, by own howl. So there was no time for bickering with the girl and I replied: «Okay, I am carrying you to the hill, but if there is nothing, we will catch up the CUB!». That is why I turned around and went skiid to the indicated hill, which at times began to completely disappear behind whitish gusts of wind.

My legs alternately at a special angle, pressed the skis to the snowy slope and confidently lifted our bodies up. Therefore, very soon, we reached a vast peak of the flat hill. Where we saw big rocks directed towards the inaccessible sky. Among of them was large boulder, more than 7 feet of high, to the which one, the girl confidently showed by her hand and said: «Man, move me to there, please!». Of course I did it and than carefully lowered her, near the boulder. But as a precaution I took her hand, because here any gusts of wind can knock down.. Now, balancing on a healthy leg, by free hand, she touched the mysterious boulder, but what happened next, made me doubt my sanity!

At the moment when her fingers touched the weathered surface of the boulder, its upper half separated from the lower and moved to the right, stopping in the air, as if it had weighed nothing. I stood amazed, but girl with an impatient gesture, indicated me that we needed to climb to the top and said wearily: «Omolgi! Why do you standing like a pillar? First you lift me up, then climb yourself!». Now I carefully examined the black, absolutely even and polished surface of the lower boulder. About seven feet in diameter.

Apparently because of a strong shock, I had an unusually strong surge of energy, so taking off my skis and raising the girl in my arms again, I easily jumped onto a meter boulder! Now, with my burden, I stood in the center of the boulder and saw a blizzard raging around us, although here, on its flat pedestal, it was completely calm and soundlessly quiet. As if someone by invisible glass fenced us off from the outside world. Suddenly, I noticed how my legs began to sink into the fog, so noticing anxiety on my face, the girl strictly warned: «You should not move and be afraid! Because a big man must be brave!». After her saying, I thought that the feeling of fear does not always depend on the size of a person, but said nothing. Because we were already completely immersed in the fog, so as a precaution, I took a deep breath and closed my eyelids tightly.

Chapter 2. Gelyun and alien house

For a few seconds, my cheeks felt a gust of hot wind and slight tingling sensation, but when I exhaled and dared to open my eyes, we were already stood in luminous and cylindrical room, with the grey floor, that was smooth like a glass. Where, overcoming pain, girl exclaimed: «I beg of you, faster here!». Then she touched the wall, wich began to flash, like a glowing film of the oil, which caved in and we were able to pass in.

Now we have entered the next, identical to the first, but dimly lit room. The dimensions of which were guessed only at the moments of flashes, when beautiful, iridescent patterns appeared on the walls. So when i look closely, it became clear to me, that this room about ten feet of high and forty feet of diameter. That is why in this empty space, i heard the echo, that repeating a whisper of the girl: «Please take me there and help undress! Because only naked, I can go to the doctor, which already wait me. But I can’t take off my clothes because it hurts to move!».

After which I counted twenty-five of my broad steps and reached a brightly glowing section, at the opposite wall. Then near by, I carefully lowered my weightless girl. I hurriedly took off her fur pyzhik and threw it on the floor. After then I easily removed untayka from girl's left foot, but when I barely touched her right foot, suddenly she screamed with pain. So without hesitation, I took a penknife out of my pocket and cut open the Kamus, that is sturdy fur of the deer's legs and from which the local inhabitants sew untaykas.

Now the girl remained in a soft jumpsuit of the light blue color, on which there were no seams, buttons and fasteners, what puzzled me. That is why, I said: «Please take off your jumpsuit yourself and tell me where to get a medical kit?». Apparently, not quite understanding what I want to do, the girl looked inquiringly at me and pressed on the bulge of the collar, after than her jumpsuit swung open, exposing the body.

I professionally focused my attention on the girl’s sore leg, for the release of which I cut the trouser leg of her jumpsuit and now I saw an unpleasant kind of an open fracture of the lower leg. Also I noticed that the arteries and veins were not damaged, so the blood just a little bit oozed from the wound. So now I was sure, in that I can fix the medical splint by myself on her leg, even without a first aid kit. But the girl, apparently thought differently, so she reached for the wall and said quietly: «Guy, please, do not go anywhere and wait for me in this room! Later I will explain everything to you».
