1166.Ice Challenge (2/5)
After listening to the driver's words, Wang Bo hurriedly said: "Oh, sorry man, I have a child, so I'm not interested in some mysterious and fun games." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Little Lori's eyes were shining: "Interested, interested, interested, brother-in-law, you don't treat me as a child, I'm so old." ā
Wang Bo scared her: "If you make any more noise, I will send you back and send a courier back." ā
Little Lori shrank up unhappily and said timidly: "You can't do this, if the courier company forgets me, then I will starve to death." ā
Seeing this, the driver burst out laughing, and he said, "Sir, you must have misunderstood me, of course I saw the child, and I was talking about the ice and snow challenge." ā
"Ice and Snow Challenge?" Wang Bo asked with interest, he didn't know about this event yet.
The driver nodded and said, "Yes, every year after the heavy snowfall, we will have people here to participate in the ice and snow challenge to show their strong physique, many children will participate, do you want to try it?" ā
Little Lori asked worriedly, "Is it eating ice and snow?" Then I can't, my sister said that this will freeze the intestines into a popsicle, and the intestines will not be able to move, and the person will die. ā
The driver shook his head with a smile: "No, it's a bucket, add ice, snow and cold water to it, and then pour it on the body." ā
Wang Bo said: "Ice bucket challenge? ā
"It's pretty much the same, but it's more enjoyable and exciting than the Ice Bucket Challenge, it's not about ALS, it's a traditional activity that has been around in our area for many years. Of course, this event also has a charitable meaning. ā
I didn't have much to do, and when I returned to the hotel to watch TV, I lost the fun of traveling, so two naughty ghosts, one big and one small, looked at each other and decided to take a look.
The event takes place at one o'clock in the afternoon, which is considered the warmest time of the day, and is not held on a regular basis, but after a heavy snowfall.
When Wang Bo arrived at the scene, there were four or five white blonde children in bikinis or swimming trunks scrubbing their bodies with snow and ice, and they were surrounded by similarly dressed adults.
Seeing this, Lao Wang immediately gave a thumbs up: This is too good, now the outdoor temperature is minus five or six degrees, although it cannot be said that it is dripping into ice, but it is definitely cold enough.
At such a temperature, he shivered in a down jacket, and several children who were about the same age as Little Lori were not afraid of the cold.
The driver who led Wang Bo and the two to come came back after chatting a few words, and he said: "You two are very lucky, you have good eyes, there must be a big battle today." ā
Wang Bo asked, "What do you say?" ā
The driver pointed to the children and said, "They are Russians, and they came here to participate in the dog sledding competition, and when they heard that there was a snow challenge, they came to participate." You know, we're not going to let the Russians go wild on the Americans' turf, so there's going to be someone to fight them. ā
Anchorage was originally a part of the area, and as early as the early 19th century, Russians settled in the area. Later, in 1867, U.S. Secretary of State Seward bought Alaska for $7.2 million, and the local Russians left the city.
Now it is considered an international joke that the Russians sold such a vast area for $7.2 million, but that was not the case at the time.
At that time, Alaska was really barren and permafrost, the land was frozen all year round and could not be cultivated, and there were no coal resources or copper and iron ore resources, so it was an abandoned land.
Later, Anchorage discovered the gold mine, which increased its value, and as for whether it became a joke, or the later discovery of the oil mine.
In this case, the Russians naturally have an extraordinary feeling for Alaska, and during the Cold War, the Soviet people had said that they had taken Alaska back, so the locals had an extraordinary feeling for the Russians.
The little girls in Russia are very beautiful, and the baby fat little face is red - Lao Wang thinks that this is frozen, and the body is strong and smooth, not very slender, but there is a healthy charm.
The snow on the ground was very deep, more than a meter, the little Lori suddenly disappeared as she walked, Wang Bo was startled, and the fat cat brothers hurriedly went into the snow to fish, and then fished out the little Lori from a snow pit.
"Don't walk around, follow me, fortunately there are big fat and second fat, otherwise you will be buried here, you know?" Lao Wang said solemnly.
Little Lori was really scared, and nodded vigorously: "I know brother-in-law, I will follow you honestly in the future." ā
The children who participated in the activity were ready to warm up, and someone carried a bucket of ice water and ice cube mixture, put some snow in it, and then lifted the bucket.
"Whoa", the ice water fell with the ice cubes, and the child covered his face with his hands, and giggled when the ice water ran out.
There is a sign in the snow next to it, which reads: If you can do it, then come forward, if you can't do it, please donate.
Wang Bo thinks that the Ice Bucket Challenge may have been inspired by this activity, and the rules are very similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge, except that the Ice Bucket Challenge stipulates the amount of donations.
Little Lori also saw the sign and said, "Brother-in-law, give me money, I'll donate." ā
Lao Wang smiled maliciously: "You have to rely on your own money, my dear little girl." ā
He took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and put it in the donation box, and there were people in the back who put donations in it, mostly ten dollars or eight.
Little Lori was dumbfounded and said, "I didn't bring change." ā
Wang Bodao: "It's okay to make a whole money, do charity, don't care how much, God will write it down." ā
Little Lori shouted: "I didn't bring the whole money, I went out to travel with you, why should I bring the money?" ā
Wang Bo pushed her forward and said, "Okay, you can only go to the event." ā
Little Lori hugged his arm, hung up like a koala, and said, "No, no, it's going to freeze to death, I don't want to die, brother-in-law." ā
Several Russian children had already finished pouring ice water, and sure enough, some locals were not convinced and rushed with their children to compete with them.
Although Alaskans are frost-resistant and cold-resistant, the previous children were born in a fighting nation, and their lives can be summed up in six words: don't coward, just do it.
And the children in Alaska are still dying, several parents pushed their children, and those children struggled backwards one by one, shouting: "I'm not going, can I do it in the summer?" ā
Wang Bo was also pushing Xiao Lori here, so he was misunderstood by the onlookers, and someone said: "Really ruthless, is this biological?" ā
Someone else said: "You can see it, it's definitely not biological, this man has to have a child with Ellie Jie to give birth to such a beautiful girl." ā
Wang Bo wanted to scold his mother: How do you speak! (To be continued.) )
