The smell of the soup was amazing, it penetrated all the "fibers of the soul" *. The children of the mountaineer did not stop smiling, they joked at each other. The girls shot their black, shiny eyes at a stranger. They were surprised that a little boy, in strange clothes, was respected by his father!
At the same time, the soup was amazingly fragrant when my father took the first spoon, everyone else rushed to food. Father swallowing the first spoon of soup froze.
Kids too. Shir Ali did not understand this, he was surprised to look at his father, then at his noisy but suddenly silent children. Strange expressions froze on their faces as if they were thinking intensely about something.
Pursing his lips, scratching his head, Shir Ali took a sip of soup. He, too, froze with such a strange expression on his face.
His back suddenly became cold at first and at the same time a fever began. The forehead was covered with perspiration, his hands trembled, all his nerves, meridians seemed to be struck by an electric current. A small trembling of the whole body began. The teeth chattered. It tingled in my eyes. But there was no pain, a pleasant tingling sensation was felt throughout the body.
And then there was a feeling that a large column of light came down from the sky to the center of his crown. In the eyes, everything became bright first, then dark, and then again Shir Ali began to see. He felt a surge of energy and an unusual frosty freshness hovered in the air. But it smelled of spring flowers.
Eyes began to see better, ears to hear further, he could smell the opened buds of wild almonds, which were on the other side of the slope at 400 steps.
