Before, a family fled to the wild when they fled, and lived for 42 years. At first, they just wanted to escape. Later, I got used to the life here, and found that it seemed not bad, so I settled down. But after being discovered by outsiders, they died one after another.
1937, political repression and persecution broke out in the Soviet Union. At that time, many innocent people were persecuted, of which130,000 was sentenced and 682,000 was shot, which triggered a big purge. Karp Likov was also the target of persecution. In order to save his life, he took his wife and two children to the Siberian forest.
Because the place is remote and the climate is low, few people come, so I have lived for so many years without being disturbed. When they ran away, they took some simple clothes and food and lived on them for a while. During this period, they learned to make a fire and pick fruits and some simple skills.
Karp Likov later had two children with his wife. In order to supplement their nutrition, Karp Likov had to hunt carnivores. He was almost injured, but after a long time, he gained experience and learned to grow vegetables and make clothes. One year there was a drought and they got nothing. They spent the whole winter with the leftover food, but they survived by faith.
1978, four Soviet geologists came here to explore and accidentally found the footprints of people living here. They searched all the way and found a shabby house, but they didn't expect anyone to live in it. The two sides looked at each other, looking a little flustered and wondering what was going on.
After understanding, it turns out that they have lived for 42 years in this life. Strangely, there is no one here to treat them and talk to them, but they are healthy, flexible and seem to live well. The expedition advised them to go out and live. Now the outside world has changed a lot, and no one will persecute you again.
Karp Likov declined their kindness, saying that he was used to life here. Seeing that his attitude was clear, the people on the expedition stopped persuading him. Out of kindness, they left some food and daily necessities, but Karp Likov only accepted salt. The originally happy family had an accident after the expedition came.
His three children suddenly became seriously ill and left him one by one. Even his wife didn't escape, leaving only his little daughter Agafia to live alone with him. At first, some people suspected that some geologists wanted to hurt them or take them away by force, but later, according to the analysis of medical experts, they came to another conclusion.
This matter really has something to do with the four of them. They often explore, and there are many bacteria and viruses on them. Karp Likov and his children live in the mountains and forests all the year round, and they have no resistance to bacteria, so they have a tragedy.
After this incident, Karp Likov was too scared to go to the big city. He lived here until 1988. After he left, only his little daughter was left. She is now over 70 years old and still lives there. Like her father's answer, she is afraid of people and living habits in big cities, and it is not bad to enjoy her old age here.
