Chapter 273: Skiing and Chance Encounters
Ye Mo's destination was a ski resort called NevisRange near Fort William. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to Zhao Liping, this ski resort is known as the first among several major ski resorts in Scotland, because it is the highest ski resort in Scotland, which has a very wide field of vision, and it is definitely the first choice to see the scenery. Located on a peak in the Neves Range, it is Scotland's eighth highest peak at 1,190 metres above sea level, making it a perfect ski resort when covered in snow. There are open cross-country skiing areas for experienced skiers, and of course, there is no shortage of gentle slopes for beginners.
When Ye Mo and the others came to the bottom of this mountain, the snow-covered mountains brought them a huge impact, even if there were mountains near M City in the south of China, they could only be called hills at most, and where could they compare to the majestic momentum and magnificent peaks here.
Ye Mo was suddenly a little curious about the appearance of those world-famous mountain ranges, maybe he could experience the world's highest peak Everest in the future when he had time, and experience the feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance.
This ski resort has the only highland cable car in the UK, which allows people to reach the altitude of 650 meters without much effort, but Ye Mo and they are not in a hurry, so they slowly go up along the mountain trail to visit the beautiful scenery of Scotland.
"Mr. Ye, Miss Zhang, here!" When Ye Mo and Zhang Xue slowly came to the ski resort, they saw Zhao Liping waving their hands from afar.
Zhao Liping came up by cable car, on the one hand, she didn't have such good physical strength, on the other hand, she could buy tickets for Ye Mo and them first, rent equipment or something.
"Mr. Ye is a man, even if you are a man, Miss Zhang, your physical strength is so good, it is really enviable. After Ye Mo and the others approached, Zhao Liping said in amazement, although she had some experience in the previous journey, but this time it was not easy to walk and climb the mountain in the snow, and although Zhang Xue looked delicate, her face was not red or out of breath at this time, which really surprised her.
"Hey, it's average. Zhang Xue said this, but she couldn't help but feel a little proud on her face, but in fact, she was able to be so completely tired, in addition to her own factors, Ye Mo's support was also one of the reasons.
Speaking of which, Zhao Liping is also the first time to come to the ski resort, fortunately, since it is a world-famous ski resort, there will naturally be no shortage of professional coaches, and the facilities required for skiing are also very complete, Zhao Liping arrived a while early and has already contacted the coach, it is a tall middle-aged Caucasians, and he will serve Ye Mo and them next.
After the two parties introduced each other, the temporary coach talked about their ski resort, some basic safety knowledge that skiing needs to know, the selection of ski equipment and many other matters, the speed of speech was extremely fast, and it was definitely different from the accent of the domestic English teacher, which made Ye Mo basically confused, not to mention that there were many terms that Ye Mo had not been exposed to.
Fortunately, there is Zhao Liping, the tour guide and translator, and the coach is talking, and she is also following the gushing simultaneous translation, so that Ye Mo and the others can learn a lot.
After that, it was time to choose ski equipment, and since it was difficult to have the opportunity to use these equipment again in the future, Ye Mo and the others chose to rent.
After some costume changes, Ye Mo and Zhang Xue walked out and saw each other.
"Haha, it looks like that. Ye Mo looked at Zhang Xue in a bright green ski suit, tightly wrapped from head to toe, especially wearing goggles, and suddenly felt a little funny.
"Hmph, don't you too, don't wear goggles, be careful of the coach criticizing you. Zhang Xue wrinkled her nose cutely and hummed, but that expression was set off by the goggles, which made Ye Mo feel even more interesting.
The two of them carried skis and boarded to meet the coach, and even Zhao Liping also changed into ski clothes.
After that, it was the formal ski teaching, not to mention that Zhang Xue and Zhao Liping seemed to be interested, and even Ye Mo was very fresh.
I have to say that skiing seems to be a very professional sport, but in fact, if you just want to ski a little, it is not difficult.
For Ye Mo and Zhang Xue, because of their martial arts practice, whether it is the strength control of the body or the sense of balance, it is much beyond ordinary people, and learning to ski is even more relaxed.
Zhang Xue is okay, that is, he seems to be more talented, and for Ye Mo, the sport of skiing is not difficult, and he will soon be able to slide around easily in the practice ground.
This kind of progress surprised the coach, and kept asking Ye Mo if he had learned before, but he didn't get any satisfactory answers.
"I'll go outside and have fun by myself, and you can practice for a while. Ye Mo quickly felt that it was really boring to practice in this small area, so he said.
The coach thought for a moment and agreed.
But Zhao Liping said with some worry: "Don't do it, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult for us to find you......"
"It's okay Sister Zhao, let him go. Zhang Xue smiled and spoke, she knew Ye Mo's methods, and there could be no danger at all.
So Ye Mo still left the practice area and came to the open cross-country field. Then he quickly slid down the slope and enjoyed the thrill of speeding in the snow and ice.
He mimicked the movements of skiers he saw on TV, jumping, tumbling in mid-air, and even taking off the goggles that made him feel awkward, but the cold wind and the harsh reflection of the snow did not daunt him.
However, after playing for a while, Ye Mo quickly ran out, in the final analysis, no matter how fast this skiing is, it can't be faster than his light skills, and if he uses light skills and internal skills to ski, it is too shocking, so Ye Mo soon became too lazy to ski.
When he came to the top of the slope again, he saw that Zhang Xue was also cautiously trying cross-country skiing, while Zhao Liping could only move slowly on the gentle slope.
The three of them played in the ski resort for most of the day, and after it was time to eat, Zhang Xue and Zhao Liping reluctantly unloaded their equipment and left the ski resort.
But Ye Mo didn't feel a pity at all, he was actually a little bored waiting for it.
At noon, Ye Mo and they settled lunch at a café near the ski resort, after which they were going to return to London, pack their bags and leave the UK, and end the journey during this time.
During the meal, Zhang Xue and Zhao Liping were still discussing the topic of skiing with great interest, while Ye Mo eliminated a large number of meals on the table, although they were not delicious in Ye Mo's opinion, it was still very easy to solve them with his big belly.
"Hey, Brother Ye, do you think that's Super Sister?" Zhang Xue suddenly pointed to the corner of the café and said.
Ye Mo didn't react for a while to which "Super Sister" Zhang Xue was talking about, but he quickly turned his head to look.
Then he saw a person sitting alone in the corner by the window, but that person was Li Chao, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
