Langya looked at me with interest, and the more embarrassed I felt, so I said, "It's nothing, it's just that I remember some of my past events in Fox Village." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You seem to like Fox Village!" Langya chuckled lightly and said, "When you return from Shengjing, take me back to the place where you have lived, okay?" I've always heard you mention this place, and I'm ...... Some of them yearn for it! ”

"Okay!" I said happily: "Next winter, I will take you to see the snow scene of Pigpen Mountain!" ”

When I was a child, as soon as the winter came, my father stopped the wooden work in his hand, and only snuggled up to the fire pond every day to polish the ash plank that had been prepared in the spring, and grinded the two-foot-wide plank to be smooth and smooth, and then soaked it in tung oil, and after it was dry, he used oil wax to grind it twice firmly, and then firmly nailed the small bench with a backrest to the plank, so that when it snowed, I could be pulled to run all over the mountains and fields in Pigpen Mountain!

Daddy said that this kind of nailed willow board with a bench is called ice skating, and it is the favorite thing of children in the world on snowy days!

I haven't been to the world, I only know that many of the goblins in Pigpen Mountain never go out in winter, such as the snake demon living in a few ravines across the fox village, the bear monster living in the village, and the squirrel spirit living in the mountain next to it---- they will hibernate in winter!

There are those who do not hibernate, and they are lazy in winter, and they are guarding the brazier cat winter ---- at home, just like the tanuki in the civet cat village downstream, and they will sleep on the fire kang when the snow is shining, and if there is no major event, they are usually too lazy to go out.

Although our fox clan is not as lazy and afraid of the cold as the raccoon, but in winter, we also like to nest at home without leaving the house, only when the weather is good, everyone will go to the outside of the patriarch's house to find a leeward wall root, and then squeeze in a place while basking in the sun and gossiping.

In my memory, my father seemed to like the lively occasion of 'foxes basking in the sun together in the village', so whenever the weather was fine in winter, he would put down the ash plank that he was polishing in his hand and take me to walk around the mountains, and the smooth slopes were discovered by my father.

The slope is at the mountain pass behind the gray wolf village, on both sides of the hillside is a steep straight stone wall, the stone wall is full of strange shape of the cypress, every time the heavy snow covers the mountain, the silver-covered pig cage mountain is extraordinarily quiet, my father pulled me with an ice skate, stepping on knee-high snow to this slope. He first carried the ice to the top of the slope, then sat triumphantly and slid down the slope.

In the beginning, the skate would always sink into the soft snow, and Daddy couldn't catch up on the ice skate, and then rolled down the ramp with an exaggerated scream, pressing a messy snow trail. At first, I was so scared that I cried, but then I found out that my father was deliberately playing tricks, so I stood on the top of the slope and laughed.

Daddy drove the ice skate down again and again, until the snow on the slope was firm, and then put me on it, and saw me sitting on the ice skate and laughing all the way to the bottom of the slope, he bent his eyebrows contentedly, grabbed the wine storage bag hanging on his waist and poured a big sip slowly.

In the winters before Daddy left, we spent it like this every time.

After my father left, I once dragged the ice to the ground by myself, but I almost got into the snow and couldn't climb out, and when I got to the slope, I couldn't make sure that the snow was hard to make the slope there, so I had to go home in a huff, and I haven't been there since.

Time flew by, and to this day, I can't remember how many snows it has snowed since then, except that the winding cypress over the slope is like a dragon pointing straight into the snowy sky.

In my opinion, that is the best snow scene in Pigpen Mountain......

If it's Langya, he should be able to help me smooth out that snow slope, right?

"It's a pity that the ice skates at home have rotted!" I sighed abruptly, and suddenly drew Langya's inquiring gaze.

I was immediately interested, so I showed Langya the practice of ice skating with some pride, but Langya laughed after hearing it, and said, "Isn't it a snow climbing plow?" Children in the world play like this in the winter! ”

Seeing that I couldn't show it, I was suddenly a little embarrassed, so I said unhappily: "Then you still put on a curious look to show me?" ”

Seeing this, Langya hurriedly explained: "I'm just curious, how do you know the name 'ice skating'!" ”

"Why can't I know? Do you think you're well-informed? My dad is even more well-read than you! I was not convinced.

"You little fox, your temperament is really getting more and more perverse!" Langya raised his hand and gently stroked my top hair, which was slapped away by my paws, but he smiled indifferently, and said: "The kind of ice skating you are talking about, called the snow climbing plow in the folk, is an ice toy made by a civilian couple for their children, in the court, it is called a snow boat by dignitaries and nobles, and it is the plaything of those young ladies in the aristocratic gate, only in the border town in the north of Rongguo, the children there will call this kind of sleigh ice skating---- because the border pass is bitterly cold, and it will freeze in winter, and the frozen lakes and rivers are all frozen. The children of poor families stole the benches from the family and ran to play on the thick ice by the lake. They put the bench on the ice with their legs facing the sky, and then bent down and squatted up to skate away, hence the name 'ice skating'! ”

Langya looked at me with a smile as she spoke, and said, "Your father has probably been to the north of Rongguo, right?" Otherwise, how could he have created such a novel and rare thing! ”

I was suddenly a little dissatisfied---- this bamboo demon seems to always want to inquire about Daddy! I clearly said that these recent messes have nothing to do with my father, why doesn't he believe it?

I wrinkled my nose unhappily and retorted, "Didn't you say ice skating is a snow plow?" What's so rare? ”

"You don't understand that!" Langya patiently explained: "The snow plow is just a planed plank, tied with a rope in front of the plank, which is convenient for dragging in the snow, and the snow boat is similar to the snow plow, just because it is the plaything of the nobility, the shape and decoration are much more exquisite than the folk---- but no matter how delicate it is, there is no stool nailed on it!" This kind of plaything, which combines a snow plow and an ice skate, can only be made by anyone who has been to the Northland......."

After finishing speaking, I didn't wait for me to refute, and touched my chin and said: "There is also the skill of soaking in tung oil and polishing with oil wax that you said ----, which is a commonly used carpentry technique in the military camp of the border pass in the north---- and the wood concocted by this method is moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant, so the foundation pillars used by the border garrison to build tents are treated in this way!"
