Chapter 17: The Other Side
Ice skating places are basically dominated by young people.
Many educated youth came here, including Sister Yanhong and Sun Zhiqing.
When Sister Yanhong saw Tang Wan, she wanted to come over and say hello, but Sun Zhiqing was learning to skate in front of her. When she stopped, Sun Zhiqing behind her bumped into her back, and both of them fell onto the ice.
The fall of the two of them triggered a series of chain reactions.
Several people fell to the ground on the ice in an instant, and their cries made everyone around them burst into laughter.
㱗That’s how it is here. In the lively atmosphere, no matter who falls, it will cause laughter.
This is also the source of excitement for the villagers.
The kids here are even more agile than adults, they move around on the ice very nimbly.
Tang Wan still helped Luo Ying down the river carefully. She looked at the ice under her feet hesitantly.
This was the river where Tang Wan was rescued by Qin Zheng when they first met.
So Tang Wan knew for sure that this river could drown people.
Even though I knew there were so many people up there and the ice was very thick, I was still a little worried when I went down the river for the first time and held Luo Ying's hand tightly.
When Dongzi arrived at a place like this, he became bolder than usual.
Seeing Tang Wan like this, he shouted, "Don't be afraid, Sister Wan. The ice is so thick that you can't break it even if you move a rock. Don't worry, there are so many people up there. If it wasn't safe, no one would have come here."
Tang Wan certainly understood what Dongzi said, but this feeling of fear doesn't mean you won't be afraid just because you understand it.
Especially when stepping onto the ice from the shore.
In modern times, there are often videos reporting that children go into the river when it is frozen and the ice is not solid, so they get into danger.
Tang Wan would of course have concerns at this time.
Qin Zheng followed Tang Wan from behind and stretched out his hand to the side of Tang Wan. He did not touch her, but was able to protect her well.
This also gave Tang Wan a sense of security.
After she stood completely on the ice, Tang Wan's fear and other emotions completely disappeared.
The ice under my feet is no different from the ground, and is even harder than the ground.
They stood up and took two steps forward, and immediately a child skating passed by them.
Not far away, someone even dug a path from the shore to the ice.
There should be water on it, like a slide, you can slide directly from it to the ice surface.
Many people were having a great time there.
Tang Wan became interested after she came down.
I basically forgot that I was in the river and it felt like a natural ice rink.
Dongzi showed the tools he brought to Tang Wan and asked her to choose first.
Because the kids here have been playing since they were young, they can have fun even without using anything but their feet.
So he took extra care of Tang Wan at this time.
Tang Wan chose the two pieces that could be tied to shoes without hesitation. Her intuition told her that these should have the same function as ice skates.
Sure enough, as soon as Tang Wan picked it up, Dongzi started talking.
"Sister Wan, this requires some skill. Are you sure you want this? If you tie it to your shoes, you can skate faster and smoother, but if you don't master it well, you may fall."
"Sister Wanwan, why don't you use this? We'll pull you onto the ice to feel it. What I liked most before was my brother pulling me to play this. It's not difficult. It's a bit difficult for you to hold this." Luo Ying strongly recommended the woven piece that Qin Zheng was holding.
"Let me try this." Tang Wan smiled and picked up the two pieces.
Although she was a little scared when she first came down, she was not afraid of skating, but was afraid that the ice on the river was not solid.
