Chapter 245 Ice Sledge
The three of them sat on the kang, cracking pine nuts and hazelnuts while chatting about gossip about the educated youth site.
Zhang Yingchun asked curiously, "Xiaoxue, there are so many people in our educated youth camp who stay on the kang every day. They feel bored when there are people to chat with. How can you stand being alone at home every day?"
“I’m fine on my own.
When I have free time, I practice martial arts, read books, and make medicine. Time flies.
When I’m bored, I go for a walk in the mountains.” Liu Jingxue replied.
I don't know how happy I am in this space, practicing, practicing spells, making talismans, watching movies, TV, and variety shows. It's no better than having awkward chats with you guys.
I can't stand it when a few people who don't get along with each other get together and talk in a sarcastic way, and there's no peace.
Xia Lan was surprised and asked, "Xiaoxue, are you still going into the mountains now?"
"Why not eat it? Is the meat not tasty?"
"You divided so much meat last time, isn't it enough?" Zhang Yingchun said with wide eyes and a look of shock on his face.
"I made that meat into bacon and mailed it out.
You also know that many of my relatives are in the army. The army is just like the city. They only get a few meat coupons every month, which is not enough to eat.
Since I have the chance to get meat, I have to give them more.
As for me, I have the mountains at my back, so if I want to eat meat, I can just go into the mountains and hunt."
Fearing that this would arouse their jealousy, Liu Jingxue quickly added, "But maybe it's because the weather is too cold and the animals are hiding in their caves for the winter, so there's not much to harvest.
I wish I had the skills of Uncle Ji and his friends. They know exactly where animals like to live. "
“But the villagers said that if there is no food in winter, the wild beasts in the mountains will come out to look for food.
Aren’t you afraid of running into them?”
Liu Jingxue raised her fist and said, "I am very powerful, and I also brought an axe and a bow and arrow.
If I meet them, it’s not certain whether they will eat me or I will eat them.
Besides, if I can’t beat them, I won’t run away.”
"The snow is so deep, you can't run fast even if you want to." Xia Lan was a little unconvinced.
"There's no need to run on foot. It's not much faster to run on skis."
Liu Jingxue looked at Xia Lan strangely, "This should be your second winter here. You haven't learned how to ski or skate yet, have you?"
Xia Lan said awkwardly, "No one in the educated youth center plays this, and I really don't know how to do it."
To be honest, since using her spiritual power to ski to town yesterday, Liu Jingxue has become very interested in skiing.
In modern times, she longed for the Ice and Snow World in Harbin, and always thought about going there to play and experience the joy of ice skating when she had time.
Now that I am here, I can’t experience the Ice and Snow World, but I can try the free ice skating and skiing.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became excited, "How about we go ice skating.
I know that the river in our village is frozen, and the children in the village have been skiing and skating on the river these days."
When Xia Lan heard this, she was immediately excited. She had wanted to play this for a long time, but she had no partner.
But she was a little worried, "But we don't have the tools."
Zhang Yingchun looked puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about?"
“What’s the big deal if you don’t have any tools? There are so many kids there, just borrow some from them and play with them.
If you think it's fun, just ask someone to order one, it won't cost much." Liu Jingxue decided.
She turned to look at Zhang Yingchun, "As for you, come with us and you'll know. I guarantee you'll like it."
As she spoke, she picked up the thick cotton coat and trousers that were warming on the kang and put them on.
"Let's go now and we can still play for two hours."
The three men, fully armed, walked towards the river in the village.
When I got there, I found that it was very lively there.
It turns out that the village is so quiet because all those naughty kids running around have come here to cause trouble.
From a distance, Liu Jingxue saw a child sitting cross-legged on something, holding a stick in one hand, and sliding forward with all his might.
Some people sit cross-legged on it, with someone in front pulling a rope and dragging it forward.
She didn't know what that thing was, but she saw several children sitting close together on a sled, with someone in front pulling a rope to drag the sled, sliding quickly across the ice.
Seeing the children playing, Zhang Yingchun screamed.
She held Xia Lan's hand and shook it vigorously, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a fun thing and bring me here earlier?
If I had known there were so many fun things to do here, why would I have been at the educated youth camp, racking my brains every day to think of something to talk about to kill time? "
Xia Lan said innocently, "I've never played it before, how would I know?"
When Zhang Yingchun heard this, he decided to make trouble for Liu Jingxue.
Liu Jingxue quickly explained, "It's not too late for you to come now, the children have just started playing.
It was because the recent snowfall was heavy enough and the ice was thick enough that the villagers dared to let their children play on it without falling into ice holes. "
She pointed at the adults standing by the river and said, "Don't you see there are people watching over there?"
Zhang Yingchun clasped his hands together and said pitifully, "Xiaoxue, Xia Lan and I are not familiar with the children in the village, so we are embarrassed to ask to borrow tools.
Or you could do us a favor and let them lend it to us to play with.
If possible, can you also make us a skateboard? We can exchange it for money."
When Xia Lan heard this, she nodded vigorously and said that she would take her along.
What else could Liu Jingxue do but nod in agreement.
When we walked to the river, we saw a few children resting there, probably because they were tired from playing, with their tools placed at their feet.
Liu Jingxue took a look and found that these children all looked familiar, but she didn't know their names. She only knew that one of them was called Erluzi.
"Erluzi, what's the name of this thing you are playing with?" Liu Jingxue asked.
When Erluzi heard someone calling him, he looked up and saw that it was Liu Jingxue, and quickly replied, "Sister Xiaoxue, this is an ice sled."
The children nearby heard the voice and looked over. When they saw it was Liu Jingxue, they greeted her.
Liu Jingxue quickly took out some candy from her pocket and gave one to each of them.
"Kids, can you lend your ice sled to Sister Xiaoxue and these two educated youth sisters to play with for a while?" Liu Jingxue asked after distributing the candies.
The children rushed to answer, "Of course.
Sister Xiaoxue, we are tired from playing and need to rest for a while. You guys go and play."
Each of the three borrowed an ice sled and asked the children how to play.
This thing is very stable and there is no need to worry about falling, but it is a little difficult to control the direction.
After all, the three of them were beginners and did not dare to go to the middle, so they just practiced on the side.
After all, Liu Jingxue was a cultivator with a well-developed brain. She mastered the method in a short while and could make the sled go wherever she wanted.
Moreover, she was very strong. She pushed the stick to the ground and quickly slid far away.
Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun were different. They always had trouble controlling the direction. They originally wanted to slide forward, but the sled seemed to have ideas of its own. It always went sideways and kept running into other people's paths.
Although the two were practicing at a distance, they bumped into each other unknowingly.
Seeing the two people bumping into each other again, Liu Jingxue gloated from the side, "You two are born in the year of the crab, right? Why don't you just go your own way, but prefer to walk sideways."
When the children heard this, they all laughed.
Perhaps because of the friendship between teacher and student, they also became bolder in front of Xia and Zhang and echoed them.
"Sister Xiaoxue is right. Sister Xia and Sister Zhang are just crabs. They just like to act sideways and never submit to anyone."
Zhang Yingchun glared at Liu Jingxue unhappily, "Xiaoxue, I know you are so powerful, so stop showing off here.
Look how you have corrupted the good children."
“That’s right, you are no longer welcome in our Novice Village.
You, an expert, should do whatever you want to do, and don't stay here with us." Xia Lan also supported him.
