Volume 1 Yang Guandong Chapter 67 The End of the Year (3)
The storm stopped that night, and it was clear when I got up early to look on the street.
The red sun is rising, and the ten thousand rays of light illuminate this ice and snow world white, making it impossible to open your eyes for a long time.
There were few pedestrians on the street, only the court horse team of Yao Chang, the "King of Qin for Ten Thousand Years", escorted a gray-haired old man, hurried past our eyes.
At this time, it should be the time of the early dynasty in the palace, and this old man must be a great official above the prince, and he is in a hurry to wait for the summons of King Qin!
The snow was frozen like iron, and a hammer could not be smashed into a hole.
In addition to preventing slipping, there is no need to worry about getting stuck in the snow when walking on it.
In the horse team just now, the four hooves of each horse are tightly wrapped in coarse linen, and its main function should be to prevent slipping.
The lights were dim yesterday night, and it was impossible to see Shangguan Yanxi's appearance clearly.
Now when I look at it carefully in the daylight, it is like a stunning jade girl who has walked into the mortal world from the blue sky of Qiong Yao.
Knee-length blue indigo satin fur jacket and black purple lambskin snow winter boots.
has fluttering silky hair, and does not have golden hairpins and sideburns like ordinary Han women.
Instead, it is tied up with a red ribbon, which is as fluffy as the Qiang Hu Nu and puts it on the back of her head, which has a quiet and enchanting beauty.
Fortunately, the creamy complexion and autumn-like eyes are still the same as before, and the unique Longdi Yayin is still as sweet as before.
Otherwise, in a trance, I will have the illusion that Loulan's beauty Kurina has come to Chang'an.
"Brother Yi, why do you look at me like this! You don't know me! ”
Seeing me staring at her so confused, Shangguan Yanxi held her face with her hands and smiled embarrassedly.
"The fresh skin is moist, and the beauty is delicious. Slender and graceful, charming and cleverly smiling! Looking at Miss Yanxi's beauty, I can save my breakfast today! Hehe! ”
Only then did I come back to my senses, and I quickly used Lu Ji to describe the peerless face of Fusang's daughter Han Fu to cover up my gaffe.
"Brother Yi laughed at me!"
Shangguan Yanxi may not have read the poems of the former Chao Lu Ji, but his face was full of shame and anger, and he came forward to beat me.
I hurriedly laughed and hid to the side of the street, not expecting the snow to be as smooth as if it had just been smeared with sesame oil, and my whole body spun like a water dart and went straight to the middle of the street.
I had never seen such a cold snowstorm, and I tried to stand up several times, but I couldn't stop the slippery oil under my feet, and as soon as I stood up, I fell on all fours on the snow.
Qin Chong, Guo Helmet, and Sha Mihan tried to come over and pull me, but without exception, they fell on the street and couldn't get up.
This time it was Shangguan Yanxi's turn to watch the excitement, and she couldn't even straighten her waist when she was laughing.
Originally, I wanted to borrow the poetry of my predecessors to compliment Miss Yanxi's beauty, but I didn't expect to end up like this with Niu Danqin, which is really embarrassing.
After I was happy enough, I saw Shangguan Yanxi sliding to my side with gentle steps like a dance.
"Childe, get up!"
She affectionately stretched out her hands and pulled me up from the snow.
"Don't move, Yi Gongzi!" Miss Yanxi's face was flushed, so she couldn't hold back her laughter, and pulled me back to the porch of the inn like a child who could just walk.
It took several ferries like this to save all four of us from the sea of misery.
"Thank you Miss Yanxi for saving your life, hehe." I smiled awkwardly.
"Miss Yanxi helped us think of a way, how can we go back? Return to Yizhai for the New Year! ”
"Yes, if you don't go back for Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to be outside!"
Qin Chong, who had just learned how powerful the ice surface, shouted in agreement, and they all cried out in agreement, and they didn't think about Miss Lan anymore.
There are only two days left before the year, and it is impossible to go back when the snow and ice have completely melted.
Therefore, we can only help Shangguan Yanxi, and the skateboard "Shenzhou" she came from the snow last night may be able to help us.
"If you want to rush back to Yizhai for the New Year, there are only two ways at present."
Miss Yanxi was not a stubborn person in the first place, and when she saw that we were serious, she stopped playing.
"Tell me, that method is better to use that one."
I sat down on the steps, groaned at my aching buttocks, and finally understood what it meant to be useless.
Without the art of borrowing strength, even if you have the courage of a thousand people, you will be invisible on this snow surface.
"One is that, like the palace guards, the horses' hooves and your feet are tied with sackcloth, so that you don't fall when you have more friction on the snow and ice. But this method is only suitable for freezing at night, if you start early in the morning, you can reach Fengshui at noon, when the ice on the snow surface has thawed, and you people will be stuck in the snow and unable to advance or retreat. ”
Miss Yanxi kept whirling on the snow surface in front of her, like a swan playing in the water, and at a glance she knew that she was the top master of snow and ice plays.
"How to walk at night! We don't know the road very well, so why don't you help us find a guide who knows the way? I looked at Shangguan Yanxi and suggested.
"It doesn't work with a guide, if we get lost in the snowfields of Mt. Jungnam at night, it will be over, and no one will know if we freeze to death."
Shamihan stomped the ice on the snow with his support to the pillars of the inn, it was so hard that his big body stomped down with both feet, leaving only two shallow footprints.
The night in Chang'an is really cold, and the wind from the north can freeze into ice lumps when you urinate, let alone the big living people.
"Then there's only the second way, learn this ice trick with me!" Shangguan Yanxi stopped in front of me and bowed to me with a wicked smile.
"Is this ice trick easy to learn?" I asked half-incredulously, not believing that she could teach us such a difficult occult technique in one day.
"Eager to learn! You people in the Western Regions all played sandboarding when you were young, and that's pretty much the same! ”
As she spoke, Shangguan Yanxi had already drawn a long way, and before I could open my mouth, she slid in front of me again, and the speed of the arrow was no more than that.
When it comes to sandboarding, we're all too familiar with it. A few friends sat on the long board of poplar wood, roaring down from the high sandy slope, and the pleasure of flying freely is still remembered.
"Just listen to Miss Yanxi! If you can't teach us today, we will stay at your house for the New Year tomorrow! ”
I stood up and let out a long breath and said, since the ice play is like sandboarding, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Good! I wish I could do it! Guaranteed daily good food and wine are served! ”
Shangguan Yan smiled happily, this originally sophisticated and mature daughter of a postal merchant, mixed with a few of us naughty and boring teenagers from the Western Regions, and became innocent.
"I'm not going to talk to you, I'll go to the East Market and buy a few skateboards! The four of you should also get ready, and you can't help but beat and stuff a little more cotton in your clothes! ”
Miss Yanxi asked Qin Chong to fetch the skateboard, and the penny was like an arrow and sped away along Chumen Street in the direction of Dongshi.
I took a closer look, and it turned out that the penny was only used when the skateboard started and stopped in the middle of the board, and it was completely assisted by stepping out of the skateboard with one foot during the journey.
When encountering uphill slopes, you also need people to get down and drag the skateboard forward, which is the same as the art of sand play.
After a short time, Shangguan Yanxi returned from Dongshi and brought back four skateboards, four pennies, and four pairs of linen socks.
"Put your stockings on the outside of your shoes and follow me to practice on the Weishui outside the city!"
Miss Yanxi changed her smile like a flower, put on a teacher's attitude, and couldn't help but refute the order.
We obediently put on our non-slip stockings, followed Miss Yanxi tremblingly, and slid away to the Weishui River outside the kitchen door according to the few tips she had just taught.
I lost count of how many times my skateboard flipped along the way, but there were no cars and horses on the snow-covered streets, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable.
Among the other three, Qin Chong has the highest understanding, Liu is the second in the pot helmet, and Sha Mihan is the worst, his tall and fat body is loud every time he falls, and he can't get up for half a day.
Fortunately, this guy has a Northland Hu people's temperament, and he is a master who will not admit defeat if he recognizes the matter on his neck, and he falls down again and again and gets up again and again.
Throughout the way, Shangguan Yanxi always glided in front of us unhurriedly, no longer giving any guidance.
In her opinion, wrestling experience is a compulsory course for learning ice play, and there is no shortcut.
Fortunately, we are all sensitive, studious, and athletic teenagers, and we can withstand a few beatings.
In just more than a mile of street, it took us more than an hour to come to the edge of Weishui like heaven's help.
All my underwear was soaked with sweat, and I felt bitterly cold, and I seemed to have a lot of understanding of the mysteries of ice play.
The wide river has already formed a thick layer of ice, and there are really many children from the city who come to the ice play, and from time to time someone sped in front of us on a skateboard, and they were very brave.
"Okay, it's time to get to the place, remember the essentials I taught you and practice well, I'll buy you something to eat!"
Shangguan Yanxi, the lame master, used to teach her disciples like this, throwing the four of us on the ice, but she herself happily went shopping in the west market of the city.
There is no way, you will be safe when you come from, and you will practice by groping!
I've been practicing martial arts for more than 10 years, and I've grown up on horseback, so it's not too difficult for us to master balance.
So after overcoming our initial timidity, we were able to stand firmly on the skateboard and let it run across the ice.
But it is still very difficult to help and control the direction on the way, as long as the penny in the hand touches the ice, the result without exception is that the person is upside down.
After falling and getting up countless times, Shangguan Yanxi's graceful figure appeared in the pavilion by the river again, and it was time for lunch.
