Shen Yizhi was puzzled: "Ice skating?"
Gu Xi kept it a secret, "You'll know when you get there."
After arriving, Shen Yizi realized that ice skating is actually ice skating. Of course, it is not limited to ice skating, but a series of ice activities including ice skating.
For example, ice polo, ice cuju, ice rowing and so on.
The shoes worn for skating at that time were called "ice skates". As the name suggests, there were no wheels installed under the shoes, but thicker knife-like plates. The skaters also held two long poles in their hands, similar to ski poles, to control the direction and brakes.
Bailong Lake is very large, and there are many people playing ice skating on the lake. After all, there are no other entertainment activities in winter, and ice skating is the best choice.
Frost willows unique to the north are planted on the shore, and their snow-white branches hang down like a snow curtain.
Further away is a large pine forest. The pine trees are covered with white snow, which looks ethereal and clear against the clear blue sky.
This is a world as pure as glass.
Shen Yizhi couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful."
Gu Xi was somewhat proud: "Really?"
The three of them came to the lake, and Gu Xi said to Shen Yizhi and the others, "Wait a minute, I'll go over there and buy three pairs of ice skates."
There are a lot of people visiting the lakeside, and those vendors who are good at spotting business opportunities come here, set up stalls and camp, and start doing business.
There are several stores selling ice skates alone.
Gu Xi came back soon, carrying three pairs of shoes in her hands.
The upper part of the skates is very similar to clogs. You just need to put the shoes on and tie them up with laces.
It was Shen Yizi’s first time wearing it and she was a little unsteady on her feet, almost falling down. Fortunately, Gu Xueting caught her.
Gu Xi was laughing at the side, gloating.
Shen Yizhi supported Gu Xueting, squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at him.
Gu Xi laughed and dodged, "Aunt, I'm leaving first."
As he spoke, he slid into the lake and swung away as lightly and gracefully as a crane.
Gu Xi was an expert in ice skating, and she wanted to show off in front of Gu Xueting and the others, so she tried her best to show off her superb skating skills. And because she was wearing a bright red dress, she immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
Shen Yizhi laughed secretly, what a show-off.
She could also skate, and her skills were pretty good, but she was not used to the ice skates of that era. For a while, let alone skating, even standing was a little difficult.
She couldn't help but think back to when she first learned to ice skate.
Seeing that Gu Xueting was standing steadily and could even serve as her support, Shen Yizhi couldn't help but ask: "You knew how to skate before?"
Yes, he has been in the North for eight years. How could he not be good at ice skating, a national sport?
However, to her surprise, Gu Xueting shook his head: "This is my first time playing."
It is true that he has been in the North for eight years, but he has spent most of his time in the military camp and has not paid attention to these entertainment activities.
It can be said that before he met her, his life was peaceful and lonely.
Of course, he didn't feel that way at the time.
Now that he has her by his side, he feels that life is so fulfilling.
Sensing her doubts, Gu Xueting put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Try to transfer your spiritual energy to your legs so that your body is slightly off the ground, and then you can stand firmly."
I see!
Shen Yizi tried it and found that his body was off the ground, so he didn't have to worry about falling.
Seeing that she no longer needed support from him to stand steadily, Gu Xueting couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He should have told her later, so that he could enjoy the feeling of her clinging to him for a little longer.
However, it is another kind of enjoyment to see her gliding freely on the lake with a smile as pure as ice crystal on her face.
Shen Yizi gradually mastered the technique of skating on ice skates. He became more and more skillful at skating. He was like a light butterfly on the lake, dancing and spinning, and skating in all kinds of dazzling postures.
Gu Xueting was just strolling leisurely on the lake, his eyes always following her figure.
Shen Yizhi skated in front of him, circled around him a few times, then took his hand and invited him, "Skate with me."
So the single person became a pair, galloping on the ice lake together.
In order to enjoy skiing more, Shen Yizhi gradually brought Gu Xueting to a corner of the lake far away from the crowd. Here, the two of them were like a pair of reclusive swans, showing off their graceful and tacit postures.
In a corner of this glass crystal world, they stared at each other, smiles blooming in their eyes and hearts.
Although they were away from the crowd, pair skating was still a new form of skating in that era, not to mention that their movements were so light and graceful, it was like dancing on ice. Gradually, many people noticed this side and gathered to watch their "performance".
Shen Yizhi flew into the air and was caught steadily by Gu Xueting after landing. He held her waist and the two of them spun together on the ice lake.
This beautiful scene was frozen in everyone's mind, and a burst of warm applause rang out.
Xiao Lizhu, or to be more precise, Mei Yang happened to see this scene when she arrived.
Her eyes darkened, but then she smiled.
Gu Xueting and Shen Yizi, these two really show their love all the time.
She wanted to see if they could still maintain such a "touching" love after entering the wheel of reincarnation.
"Sister, what a coincidence, we meet again."
When Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting came ashore, Mei Yang walked over with just the right amount of surprise on her face.
Shen Yizhi looked up and saw that it was her. He smiled and said, "Yes, you come here to play too?"
Meiyang nodded, "Sister, when I came here just now, I saw you two skating together. I was so envious."
Shen Yizhi paused in her heart. Was she envious of her skating with Gu Xueting? Was she overthinking?
Mei Yang lowered her eyes and looked a little gloomy: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and my mother and others don't allow me to play this."
Shen Yizi felt that he had been overthinking it just now. This little girl was just expressing her feelings purely because of her poor health.
But she found that she looked much better this time than the last time she saw her.
"Sister, can you teach me how to skate?" Mei Yang bit her lower lip and mustered up the courage to look at her.
Before Shen Yizhi could say anything, the maid behind her objected: "Miss, you can't do that! Your cold has just gone away, how can you--"
Mei Yang looked back at her and said, "I know my body well. I am much better now."
The maidservant hesitated and finally said nothing.
