Chapter 403, Reverence for Nature

The staircase into the house is very high, and this staircase directly carries people to the second floor to enter the house, and the first floor still has windows, indicating that it is also in use...... The stairs are so high that Ye Kai thinks of a Chinese tradition.

The larger the household, the higher the threshold.

But if it is really high to this extent, so high that it is directly the second floor when you enter the house, it is estimated that only the emperor dares to build such a house.

After entering the house, Ye Kai saw an old man, a middle-aged woman, sitting in the living room knitting sweaters, although the sky was not dark, but the living room was also lit with candles...... And there is no heating here, they rely on the fireplace for heating.

It's just so remote.

This house was built in a huge wilderness, and there are no shops in front of the village or behind the village, and it takes two hours to walk out, and even half an hour to drive before you can see people.

If you happen to live here for a few days, Ye Kai will feel very beautiful and romantic, but if you stay here for a long time...... To be reasonable, Ye Kai admires them a lot, not everyone has the courage to leave modern society and step into the wasteland.

Jack introduced Ye Kai: "This is my father, Lambert Quint, and this is my wife, Fenna Quent......"

Ye Kai stepped forward to shake hands: "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Sean Ye ......"

After Jack and the two introduced Ye Kai's identity, everyone sat in the living room again and talked, and Fenna went to the yard to collect firewood.

This living room has paintings, hanging candlesticks, and a lot of tools...... But there is no refrigerator, no TV, and many modern convenient appliances are not seen here, and it is a room that does not rely on any electricity.

"Is this the house you live in all year round?"

Lambert shook his head and said, "We only live here every winter, first to get close to nature, and second to take care of the animals on the farm in winter, God knows what would be like without us taking care of them." ”

It turned out to be a second property......

Lambert was fifty or sixty years old, and he was badly fat, like an American-style fat man, sitting on a huge sofa in a thick sweater, but in good health, able to eat and drink, and very energetic in his work.

Lambert told Ye Kai that the house had been passed down for a long time and had burned down decades ago, but they quickly rebuilt such a house on the site.

No wonder there is a sense of incongruity in the design of the building.

The fat old man told Ye Kai that he was only six years old at the time, and the family ran out without wearing clothes, if it weren't for the temperature of this fire to protect them, they would almost not freeze to death.

Lambert credits them with the help of the elves.

"Our family moved here in the 19th century and are now in their seventh generation...... Lambert also found an old book that records their family history.

The book records the events of their family each year.

Jack Says:

"Every summer at the family gathering, more than 100 people come here, and it's a lively time, and if you're still in Iceland at that time, you're welcome to come here. ”

"I would definitely come if I were still in Iceland. ”

Ye Kai's family has few people, and he doesn't have any family concepts, so he is very envious of this lively scene, after all, what people want most is what they don't have.

There were saddles and various riding tools on the walls, and Jack asked Ye Kai about it, and both of them chose not to use it...... Jack was a little skeptical of Ye Kai's level, but he still took Ye Kai out of the door.

No saddles, no stirrups.

Icelandic horses are not tall, and you can get on them directly by pressing their necks, but how can a horse let you ride on it casually?

The Icelandic horse said no, so he struggled.

It wasn't until he was tired of struggling that someone rode on his back by default, and the experience of being ridden last year came to mind, and the two rows of horses fell involuntarily.

It turns out that the time of the year to be ridden by humans has arrived.

Ye Kai saw that Jack handled it so simply, and it was simpler than he remembered, so he couldn't help but feel a lot more convinced, found the most beautiful Icelandic horse, touched the horse's neck excitedly, and jumped on it.

What Ye Kai and Jack didn't expect was that the horse didn't struggle, and roared happily, even more excited than Ye Kai, and the two front hooves even took small steps on the ground.

This......

Ye Kai was dumbfounded, and so was Jack.

Am I not taming horses?

Ye Kai also wanted to be a cowboy in the west, hugging the horse's neck and letting the rebellious horse keep swaying left and right, he just couldn't go down...... But why did you surrender yourself?

Why don't you give face and struggle?

However, with the IQ of the horse, I don't know what it means to give face, so I laugh when I'm happy and run away when I'm happy.

So it trotted up.

Dumbfounded, Ye Kai slapped the horse's belly with both feet to speed up, and used his mane to control the direction of the horse, obedient as an old horse that had been trained for several years, and had no temper at all.

But it didn't take long for Ye Kai to come back.

I still have to be saddled, and it hurts to grind my thighs without protection.

The outburst of Icelandic horses may not be enough, but the endurance is high, although the speed is not fast enough, but it can maintain a high speed for a long time without stopping and panting, which Ye Kai likes very much.

The ancients said that the Maxima is definitely not a horse that has enough strength and lacks stamina, but a horse like the Icelandic horse that can run at high speed over long distances.

When it gets dark, go back to the house for dinner, and have to stay here for the night.

Although there were only four people in the dinner, there was red wine, goblets, candles that illuminated the whole room, white reflective plates, and tender and delicious lamb chops......

Ye Kai believes that if such a meal and such a quality lamb chop are put into a Western restaurant, he will definitely not be able to eat it without a thousand yuan...... Not everywhere is lamb as Icelandic sheep as beef-like.

In addition to lamb chops, there are whole potatoes, broccoli, corn soup and bread......

The very sumptuous dinner made Ye Kai a little embarrassed, and thought about it empathically, if it was just his own family eating, it would definitely not be so complicated, and even the red wine was taken out.

In the room late at night, Ye Kai was thinking about how to repay him.

It is impossible to give money, unless Ye Kai doesn't want to make this friend anymore, but it can't help them from other places...... Could it be that the travelogue advertises the sheep on their farm?

Let's ask Jack tomorrow, but when he thought of his travelogue, Ye Kai thought of the scene he had seen on the mountain before.

Icelanders are forbidden to go down the trail.

In the sulphurous mist, the huge rocks that no one dared to approach, were like huge, ancient faces, and their faces were a collection of all, countless expressions, feelings......

Coming here from the city of Reykjavík, from a noisy world to a pure natural world, Ye Kai felt that human beings were particularly small, and a human being was really too small in front of nature.

Human beings should be in awe of nature, Ye Kai thought in his heart, this sentence Ye Kai wanted to write in his travelogue.

Reverence is an attitude that human beings should give to nature.
