Chapter 296 Making a Sled



Under Xu's control, the cable car soon reached its destination.

"Due to some special reasons, I can only send you to the area halfway up the mountain. You can't go to the top of the mountain for the time being..."

Xu had regained his signature expressionless face and spoke there.

"OK, I understand. The snow here halfway up the mountain should be pretty thick, right?"

Ye Ming asked curiously.

"Do you know what we can do when we are bored while guarding here?"

Xu blinked and said.

"When we're bored, we can only ski here for fun... As for where you can ski and where you can't ski, we who are guarding here are the ones who know best..."

Ye Ming nodded and then left with his wife and children.

But looking at the vast snow, they suddenly discovered something very embarrassing...

"So you forgot about the sleds and the runners again?"

Cang Huayu said comfortably while leaning against the edge of the exit.

"Ahem, because it came too suddenly, and I had bought too many things at that time, so I didn't catch up. I also had to buy a sled and other things..."

Ye Ming was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, wait a moment. I'll go check out the skis prepared by the guys guarding here and borrow some. They should be of pretty good quality, after all, they've been using them here for so long..."

Cang Huayu's figure flashed for a while and then he came back

When he came back, he was holding two smaller skis that looked very cool and a large ski.

"Which one do you want?"

Cang Huayu asked, holding the ski equipment in his hand.

Ye Ming thought for a moment and pointed at the large ski board.

"How about this? By the way, is there a ski air mattress here that can accommodate multiple people?"

"No……"

Cang Huayu said it very straightforwardly.

"After so many years of guarding here, they've basically gotten used to using sleds and skis to travel. Ski cushions basically don't exist."

"Oh, by the way, I'm too lazy to help you find it, so you can just use these..."

As soon as Cang Huayu saw Ye Ming was about to speak, he knew that this guy wanted to ask him to buy a ski cushion. I have the kind of ski sled that can be used by multiple people. So he spoke directly and decisively rejected him.

"Tsk, they say send the Buddha to the west, why don't you just finish the job and quit?"

"As long as I don't have any shame, I can't use the language package to buy you things..."

Cang Huayu said calmly.

"Oukeouke, there should be a tree on this mountain. If I want to get one of these trees to make a sled, it shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

There was no other way, so Ye Ming had to set his target on the tree on the mountain.

"Yes, there are, but the trees on this mountain are all older. Are you sure you want to cut them down?"

Cang Huayu asked.

"If you need it, I can guarantee it for you. Sometimes the base on the top of the mountain also uses some trees as firewood for heating purposes."

Cang Huayu said.

Ye Ming nodded and finally said with an attentive smile on his face.

"Okay then, go find me a tree..."

Cang Huayu: ………………

You kid, you really just want to make money from me, right?

"Forget it, forget it. I'll just help you this once, forget it..."

As Cang Huayu spoke, he closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings for a moment.

"Ah, I found a pretty good tree for you. It's about three o'clock in your direction from here. Ummm... it's directly to your right."

As soon as Cang Huayu finished speaking, Ye Ming ran straight to his right.

Soon he knew the location of the tree that Cang Huayu mentioned.

“This tree is so tall…”

Ye Ming sighed as he looked at the big and tall tree.

"This tree is usually covered by an illusion. Ordinary people or machines cannot find it..."

Cang Huayu walked up and touched the trunk of the tree and said.

"There's a legendary dragon vein in Changbai Mountain. With the dragon vein's blessing, many plants and creatures here grow very fast."

"Because some things are too shocking to be left outside, we set up some illusions around them. Anyway, it's just to prevent people from stealing them..."

"As for this tree, you can just cut off a piece. That's all the wood you need. It will grow back on its own next year..."

After hearing Cang Huayu's words, Ye Ming looked at the tree, made a simple measurement of its size, and then cut off a large piece of wood from the tree.

Nothing should happen to the tree if I cut so much wood at once, right?

Cang Huayu waved his hand.

"That's impossible. After all, this is where the dragon veins are. With the nourishment of the dragon veins, the tree grows very fast.

"You've cut so much wood, it'll probably take half a year to recover."

"That's why this tree is often the primary target of those stationed on the mountain. After all, it grows too fast. If it's not cut down in time, it might affect the ecology here..."

Ye Ming nodded, and finally took the piece of wood he had just cut, found a place with less wind and snow, and began to use his own strength to slowly use the wind to thin the wood, and then began to make his sled.

It took Ye Ming some time to finally use the wind to create the prototype of the sled. Then he discussed with Cang Huayu and cut another piece of wood from the tree.

With the help of the wind, the wood was quickly blown into the shape of two sled bases.

Ye Ming took the prepared sled base and came to the finished sled, then put it on top and compared it with the few holes he had left on the bottom.

Mm, perfect...

After Ye Ming pushed the two bases into the holes and turned the entire sled over, a relatively simple sled appeared.

"Finally, it's almost done..."

Ye Ming looked at what he had spent some time making and nodded.

It looks like the situation is almost there, so you should be able to make it pretty solid...

When Ye Ming was meeting this requirement, he deliberately adopted a mortise and tenon structure and prepared the sled's body and base. The corresponding cuts could be made and then assembled directly.

The mortise and tenon structure is a commonly used structure in ancient Chinese wooden buildings. This structure is also often used in the production of furniture, such as the simplest small wooden square stool. Its characteristic is that no nails are used on the object, and mortise and tenon are used to reinforce the object, reflecting the ancient Chinese culture and wisdom.

The mortise and tenon structure is also extremely strong. Ye Ming feels that this thing should be able to bear the weight of himself, his wife and daughter.

(I felt really bad today. I had a homework assignment for computer class, but I accidentally quit because I forgot to save it, so I didn’t turn it in... No wonder...)
