Chapter 5 There is a feeling called flying
Huo Yuan's family of three went into battle together, and it took two days to clear the snow in the yard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
So Huo Xiaoshan still practiced Bajiquan in the courtyard every day, but because of the cold weather, Huo Yuan asked him to only come to practice every morning, and Huo Xiaoshan was overjoyed.
One day after lunch, when Huo Xiaoshan was building a snowman outside his yard, a flock of birds entered the village.
But in the blink of an eye, countless mountain birds swooped down on the ground and landed in a village, and on the canes on the walls and trees, on the roofs, and in the vegetable gardens, as long as they could land, there were jumping bird shadows, and everywhere there were mountain birds chirping gracefully.
In the mountains is a world of birds and beasts, and people say that they are the spirits of all things, which is self-appointed and cannot be counted, and birds and beasts still live according to their own patterns.
After the heavy snowfall, the surrounding area is white, and the birds in the mountains cannot find food, so they will fly to the village to be swept through the snow to expose the black soil to feed.
Huo Xiaoshan stood outside the courtyard, holding a slingshot in his hand, aiming at this, muttering "yellow belly bag" in his mouth, and then aiming at the "red belly bag" muttering, pointing at this "wax child", and nodding at that "mouth", but he always remembered that Song Zijun didn't let him hurt his life more, and he didn't put a stone on it and shoot it out.
Just as he was fiddling with the slingshot, he suddenly heard a flock of birds on his side agitated, brushed the ground and flew up, and turned his head to see Liu Erpole driving the horse-drawn climbing plow out of the village, and the second tiger was sitting on the climbing plow, and he was also holding a small whip in his hand and waving it in the air, looking like a very stinky fart.
"Little mountain, go, go up the mountain." The second tiger greeted proudly on the climbing plow.
"You're going up to the mountain?" Huo Xiaoshan asked
"Come up to the mountain with my dad and pull some burnt wood and come back." Erhuzi replied, at this time, the horse-drawn plough had already arrived in front of Huo Xiaoshan.
Horse-drawn plough climbing Huo Xiaoshan has been sitting, and only Liu Erpole has a horse in the village, that is still Erhuzi thinks that Huo Xiaoshan is more capable than him so he let him sit, ordinary children don't even think about it, then immediately climb the plow and sit on it to run in the vast snow is quite enjoyable, there is a feeling like the wind.
Huo Xiaoshan was about to agree but remembered something, so he said to Erhuzi: "I have something to do today." ”
"Xiaoshanzi's affairs are all big things, practice your skills well, and when you grow up, you will fight the big tiger with your Uncle Liu." Liu Erpole laughed. There is no one in the village who doesn't like Huo Xiaoshan, and Liu Erzhuan, who has a life-and-death relationship with Huo Yuan, likes Huo Xiaoshan very much.
"Don't sit down." Erhuzi took the whip in his hand and pulled out a "snap", and shouted like Liu Erzhu, "Drive!" The horse trotted up, and the birds of the mountains around him flew high like a fine raindrop.
Huo Xiaoshan rummaged through the wooden stacks in his yard for a while, found a section of ash with a bowl thickness of four or five meters, carried it on his shoulders and walked out of the door.
In the afternoon, Huo Xiaoshan was already standing in the house of the bean family.
Daddy Ga Bean had turned the ash into two snowboards less than an inch thick with the front end upturned, and the slender skis had four holes in the middle and back, and there were grooves between the two holes under the skis, which were used to tie shoes with strings.
The wood is hard and the surface is extremely smooth after planing, and there are no burrs, and the wavy wood grain is very beautiful.
Ga Douzi's father also found two iron thorn quinoa strips for Huo Xiaoshan, which were as thick as his thumbs and were about to reach Huo Xiaoshan's shoulder.
This ironthorn quinoa is a kind of clumping shrub that is a specialty of the mountains and forests in this area, from the root of the branches are upwards and outwards in an explosive shape, growing very slowly, the branches are hard but elastic, according to the old people to listen to their old people say that this ironthorn quinoa grows to more than 300 years before it is fully grown, it is as hard as steel, but the people in the village have not seen the ironthorn quinoa. These two iron thorn quinoa strips are ski chisels made according to what Huo Xiaoshan said.
"Xiao Shanzi, can you do this trick?" Daddy Gadouzi asked. Daddy Gadouzi is a carpenter in the village and a well-known honest man, and Huo Xiaoshan saved his son under the wolf's mouth, so even if Huo Xiaoshan proposed to let him make the longest ladder to pick the stars in the sky, Gadouzi's father would never refuse.
"Hehe, it should be done, I listened to the old grandfather." Huo Xiaoshan replied.
"That's what the old man said, that's pretty much it, let's try it outside." Ga Douzi said his father.
This old man is no ordinary person. He has panned for placer gold, taken a mallet (digging wild ginseng), hunted in the mountains, stayed in the realm of Lao Maozi, and even mixed with the beard on the mountain for a few years.
In the mountains and forests of the Great and Small Khing'an Mountains, the old man has never been lost, and naturally he has experienced countless dangers, his leg was injured when he entered the mountain for the last time, although he escaped by luck, but he became lame after being healed too late.
The body is also disabled and the person is old, and the old man who has no wife and no children lives in this village and uses it as a place for the elderly.
Every day, he herded pigs for each family, and each family tried to raise pigs conveniently, and he didn't need to be paid, so he helped him in eating and drinking.
This old man also has a big black dog, and I don't know how he trained the dog, he is very smart, and he doesn't need to keep his head beckoning to see that the pig will come back by himself when he runs away.
The children in the village also liked the big black dog very much, and fed it with bones, but they couldn't help it, and still only listened to the old leader.
In addition, this old head is a must to make indigo shoes. There are a lot of beautiful folds on the outer skin of the shoes, and the inside is covered with repeatedly smashed indigo grass, which is light and warm and sweat-wicking, and the indigo shoes worn by both adults and children in the village in winter are his craft.
That time, Huo Xiaoshan saved Ga Douzi in the wolf's mouth, and when he chatted with the old man afterwards, he said that if he hadn't dug those snow holes, he would have almost become a chew in the wolf's mouth, and if he had been sitting on the plow at that time, the wolf would definitely not be able to catch up. The old man mentioned that he had seen some mountain people with planks tied to their feet and supported by log poles, which were really faster than the wolf.
Of course, Huo Xiaoshan knew that the old man pointed his head at what they called a paddle in this area, and he had seen this, but Huo Xiaoshan thought that this paddle was still slow, and the wolf would still catch up, because this kind of paddle is a wooden board and a long wooden pole, one foot is on the board when operating, and the other foot pedals to get the power to start speed, and then move the weight of the body to the foot of the pedal to borrow the front, the long wooden pole is a supporting role, and the foot that kicks the ground also needs to be tied with animal fur to prevent slipping.
The old man thought for a while, and said that in the years he spent in the realm of Lao Maozi, he had seen that Lao Maozi used two boards and held two poles in his hands, and he could run much faster than one board and one rod in our Chinese, so he ran like the wind.
Huo Xiaoshan was most interested in playing, and at that time he specially consulted the practice and usage of the two boards and two rods, and intuitively he decided that this method was feasible, and it must be faster than a board, but he didn't have time to do it at that time, and it was delayed after a long time.
Huo Xiaoshan remembered this matter when he saw Erhuzi sitting on the plow today, so he carried the ash to find Ga Beans and his father to make such a pair of skis.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't know that this snowboard was not his invention, but for him, this thing was undoubtedly a novel thing for this village.
The snow field is vast, and the place where the heaven and earth meet with a black line is the primeval forest.
Huo Xiaoshan was sliding on the snow on his snow.
After skiing in the afternoon and falling a lot, Huo Xiaoshan has basically mastered the skills of skiing.
Gliding on flat ground, turning on flat ground, how to climb gentle slopes with inertia, how to brake sharply in fast sliding...... All this can be reflected so perfectly, which has a lot to do with Huo Xiaoshan's unique physical ability.
Huo Xiaoshan always finds the center of gravity of his body before his movements are abnormal in that fast sliding, so he looks as freehand as his peers when he skies the snow.
When he slid down the slope, he immediately realized that the speed was too fast, so he used the ski skewer control to keep turning left and right to keep the speed within his control, turning the ski route into a zigzag line.
The difference between genius and ordinary people is that when faced with a mathematical problem, ordinary people are still calculating, but geniuses have already directly calculated the results, if you want to ask a genius why, God will say that there is no why, it's that simple, don't you? The same is true of Huo Xiaoshan's genius in sports, no matter why, he did it, feeling the same feeling as the wind on the snow.
Huo Xiaoshan, who was sliding at a high speed, used the ski in his hand to skewer a little towards the snow, turned the ski to the left, drew two beautiful arcs on the snow, stopped, and brought up a flying snow mist behind him.
He looked up and saw that it was getting dark, and smoke was already rising from the village not far away.
Here a mountain eagle glided high above his head, the black eagle's wings spread and motionless, and the wind carried it through the void.
Huo Xiaoshan raised his head and looked at the mountain eagle steadily, and suddenly felt something, and suddenly felt that the eagle's movements were similar to his own skiing, what was it, could he also glide like an eagle?
Huo Xiaoshan thought of the moment when he encountered the high point of the terrain when he was sliding fast, he brushed the ground and rushed through, due to inertia, he would have the moment when his body completely detached from the snow field and became empty, and that feeling was no different from this eagle.
I can fly too, Huo Xiaoshan was excited about his sudden thought.
He had been sliding here all afternoon, and he was already familiar with the terrain, and he knew that there was a small hill, which was gentle on one side but very rough on the other, and that he had always made a detour here, and this time he decided to rush over it.
Huo Xiaoshan made a big bend and slid towards the small round bag in the slow slope, the faster he slived, and the moment he crossed the highest point of the small mountain bag, the skis really flew up with Huo Xiaoshan!
He leaned forward and held the skis behind him with both hands, the skis almost parallel to his body. After flying more than 20 meters, Huo Xiaoshan landed, his legs bent to slow down the momentum falling from the air, after sliding for a distance, after he made a sudden braking action, Huo Xiaoshan stopped there, threw the ski to the sky with both hands, and jumped up without caring about the skis tied to his feet, shouting: "I can fly!" I'll fly! “
