Sliding on the ice does require a high level of skill. It is already difficult for ordinary people to maintain balance, let alone walk. If someone like Su Lanyu can control the ice as if he has oiled soles on his feet, then he is definitely under the influence. After a lot of effort, Ma Tao asked himself that he couldn't do it without leaving the tank. It was too cold to carry it in the car like this. Every minute was a kind of torture. Ma Tao's tank tank and Xiao Jinzi's The jeep is not like Gao Han's No. 3 minibus ambulance, which has a heater. It is simply a welfare vacation vehicle. Within two minutes, the two old men in the car couldn't stand it anymore. They opened the door and resisted. The biting cold wind outside moved little by little on the ice toward the human equipment store. Even so, the two of them still fell a lot.
In this situation, my sister can't help much. The mirror-like road makes it difficult for her to move even an inch. But my sister is a robot. She doesn't feel anything about low temperature and it doesn't affect her at all. The internal parts may be between minus fifty degrees to one degree below zero. Problems only occur when the temperature is high, but if the temperature really gets that low, people will be frozen into popsicles as soon as they go out, and no living thing can survive.
This scene was a bit funny. Two thinly-clad men walked cautiously on the bare ice, shivering from the cold. The surrounding people from Free Town wore thick clothes and stood on the ice-free area to watch these two people. Gao Han might be smiling at this moment. Thinking of this, Ma Tao felt that he and Xiao Jinzi were like two idiots, being watched like monkeys.
But soon, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi, who were supporting each other, were completely moved because they saw that Su Lanyu, who had just left, actually left and returned, and she was still holding a pile of thick clothes in her hands. Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi, who were in an icy hell, instantly felt the warmth of the sun.
"I don't have any good clothes, so put them on quickly"
Su Lanyu, who was as elegant as a black swan, drew an arc on the ice, stopped accurately in front of Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi, and handed the clothes in his hands to them.
With tears in their eyes, the two people didn't care about the onlookers around them. The cold had dulled their nerves. They wiped their runny noses and quickly took the clothes and started putting them on.
I don’t know who the previous owner of these clothes was. It was filled with a pungent smell of hair oil and mildew, and it was also very dirty. It looked like it hadn’t been washed for two or three years, but how could the two of them have time to care about it now? This, keeping warm is the key. Even Xiao Jinzi, the top second generation ancestor, put it on regardless, and then felt the comfort brought by the warmth with a happy face, grinning silly, but the clothes on this kid's body were a bit too big , wrapped around Xiao Jinzi, who was not very strong, like a robe, but it would be better if it was bigger, as it has a good thermal insulation effect.
The one on Ma Tao is also big, almost one code bigger than the one on Xiao Jinzi. This is understandable. The clothes are not new, nor are they tailor-made for them. There will definitely be problems. Fortunately, they are big, but It would be interesting to be able to put it on, but if it were too small to be put on at all.
"I was in a hurry and didn't have time to choose, but they were all about the same, so I just took a bunch of them. I paid the money in advance and gave it back to me, totaling 370G."
After Su Lanyu said that, he really stretched out his hand, waiting to receive the money from Ma Tao.
"How much? 370G! It's a money grab! It's too dark! These smelly and dirty rags cost 370G..."
Ma Tao couldn't believe his ears when he heard this number. He thought he heard it wrong, but when he saw Su Lanyu's still outstretched hand, he knew that he heard it right, it was 370G.
"This is Free. It's a frozen city, okay? The most expensive thing is of course the clothes for heating. Of course, the cheapest thing is also the clothes. Shirts with half sleeves and so on. You can choose one or the other at will." Buy one and get one for you. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the house and ask later. If you think it’s expensive, you can take off your clothes now and I’ll take them back and return them.”
Su Lanyu stretched out his hand and pointed back at the door of the human weapons and equipment store he just came out of.
Ma Tao looked in that direction. There were far fewer people watching the excitement, but there were many who had not left yet. They were looking at Ma Tao and the others, but their eyes were mainly focused on Su Lanyu. As for Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi, they were completely ignored. After all, who among the beautiful women would want to see two dirty old men, even if they were not ugly.
"Okay, I'll give it, but I don't have any money in my pocket right now. I'll give it to you when I get back to the car."
Rather than accept the severe cold test all over again, Ma Tao would rather spend the 370 to buy warmth.
"Huh? Why is your dress so new?"
Ma Tao was talking to Su Lanyu about the 370G. Xiao Jinzi suddenly noticed that Su Lanyu had also changed into a thick winter coat. The style was a bit like a windbreaker. Not only did it look quite new in appearance, but the materials were also very good. , Xiao Jinzi stared at the clothes Su Lanyu was wearing for two seconds, puzzled.
"There happened to be this one when I went there, so I bought it. This is women's clothing, and you can't wear it either."
Su Lanyu's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly recovered and spoke confidently.
"What's that in your hand?"
When Xiao Jinzi said this, Ma Tao also noticed. He also noticed how new the clothes Su Lanyu was wearing, especially because he was not far away from Su Lanyu at the moment, and her clothes didn't look like this at all. He had the same unpleasant odor as Xiao Jinzi's clothes, but there was also a fragrance, especially when he saw that Su Lanyu was holding a cloth bag in his hand. It seemed that there were also clothes in it. From the side of the cloth bag, Judging from the exposed corners, the material of the clothes inside is also very good, unlike the one worn by Ma Tao, which has a big hole on the back, exposing the yellow cotton inside.
"This is for Gao Han. It's also women's clothing. What, do you want to check it?"
As she spoke, Su Lanyu handed the cloth bag in her hand to Ma Tao.
"If you dare to touch my clothes, believe it or not, I guarantee that you will have a great time for the rest of your life."
Before Ma Tao could speak, Gao Han's voice came from the watches of the three of them. His tone was neither cold nor hot, but everyone could hear the threat in this sentence.
Ma Tao quickly retracted the hand he was about to extend.
"Thank you, Sister Su Lanyu, for thinking about my sister, but I have to ask my sister to send her to the car. I want to change clothes in the car."
Soon, in the watch, Gao Han spoke again.
"Okay Sister Han, I'll go over now"
Su Lanyu responded with her own watch, then told Ma Tao not to forget to pay back the money, then swiped up again and went straight to the No. 3 CMB ambulance.
Su Lanyu's watch (S scanner) belongs to An Ruo. The two siblings are both in Seoul. It's enough to leave a watch, so An Ruo's piece was given to Su Lanyu. Because of the plague, Seoul has no way to do it now. After resuming production and operations, human weapons and equipment stores cannot open, so there is no way to buy watches (S scanners) again. However, back to Free, this human weapons and equipment store also sells communication watches. Many Buy a few and have them ready.
"Brother Tao, you seem to have been blackmailed..."
Xiao Jinzi looked at Su Lanyu, who was already floating away as gracefully as a butterfly and said.
"What else is it called? It's just like"
Ma Tao turned his head, met his eyes, and then replied with a wry smile.
Obviously, the value of these tattered clothes is not worth 370G at all. Ma Tao is not stupid. Everyone knows the principle of raising prices from the ground up, but there must be a limit to the starting price. If you buy a sweet potato at the price of one gram of gold, it is a personal matter. Everyone knows that the difference is more than a hundred times. Therefore, the two dirty and smelly clothes worn by Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi are only worth dozens of G. These are high, but Su Lanyu is wearing The one I am about to bring to Gao Han is different. First of all, let’s talk about the nature of the clothes. Of course, brand new ones are the most valuable. Old clothes that have been worn can be sold by the pound. New clothes must be sold by the piece. For sale, talking about the environment, there is almost no place in the world to find weaving factories. Most of the clothes are handmade. Technical materials and equipment are extremely scarce resources. The price of new clothes can be imagined, especially the materials used. Most of the winter clothes are ridiculously expensive.
Therefore, of the 370G, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi accounted for at most 70G. Needless to say, the remaining 300G was all on the clothes of Su Lanyu and Gao Han. However, Ma Tao did not feel at a loss because he saw another One good thing is that it can be seen from this incident that Su Lanyu has begun to learn to integrate into this group. In any case, this is a good phenomenon. The 370G is worth the money, not to mention that Ma Tao is not short of the hundreds now. G, even if it’s bad, it’s worth it.
Women in this world also change clothes very quickly. There is no makeup, no need for make-up, and there are not so many occasions to socialize. They are all natural beauties. They look real with every nose and look. In a few minutes, Gao Han and Su Lanyu Got the No. 3 China-Pakistan ambulance. At this time, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi supported each other and moved forward less than three meters, which was still far away from the human weapons and equipment store.
The door of the No. 1 tank opened, and my sister got out of the car, looking at Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi who were barely able to stand firm on the ice, and Gao Han, who was led by Su Lanyu and was slowly able to glide on the ice.
"Sister, you are my sister, okay? Please teach us how to walk on this damn ice..."
Xiao Jinzi looked at Gao Han, who had been taught by Su Lanyu and had mastered some skills, and said with a grimace.
Although Ma Tao didn't ask for advice, he still had a bitter look on his face.
Su Lanyu glanced at these two people who seemed to be bitter gourd brothers. She wanted to laugh, but in the end she didn't laugh. This woman, Ma Tao, almost never saw a smile on her face. She finally tried to smile, but it was still difficult. Well, Su Lanxi often smiles, and her smile is beautiful. Su Lanyu is certainly not bad either. Unfortunately, she has a cold personality. It is too difficult to get a smile from her.
"Listen to me, when standing, stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, the toes of your feet pointing slightly outward to form a small figure, your legs slightly bent, your upper body leaning forward, looking ahead, and when gliding, keep your body bent, your legs bent, and your center of gravity Move forward, so that even if you slip, you will fall forward and won't roll out uncontrollably."
Su Lanyu didn't hide it, and immediately taught her the skills of walking on ice through words.
Sliding on ice is not a secret. This ability can be mastered by almost every Free person. It is an adaptation of human beings due to the environment. This is just like children who live by the sea and have good water skills. The people of Fori deal with ice every day and can skate almost as soon as they can walk. Therefore, they find it funny when they see outsiders falling in Fori. They find it incredible and do not understand it.
But Su Lanyu said it was easy, but in actual practice it is a matter of coordination between the body and the brain. Without exploration and practice, Ma Tao, Xiao Jinzi and Gao Han still need one if they want to be able to walk on the ice easily. The adaptation process, as to how long this process takes, varies from person to person.
Looking at the people skating around the ice, even children of a few years old could wander around two or three times in front of the two grown men, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi, before leaving. The two of them were so excited that their faces turned red. It was extremely hot, but the temperature in Free was always around minus ten degrees Celsius. Both of their faces were turned red from the cold, and they couldn't tell the specific reason for their blushing.
Countless falls made Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi lose their temper. They also understood why Freetown had no defense facilities. The naturally formed ice and snow alone was the best defense. The miraculous craftsmanship of nature was the best. With the protection of this ice surface, no matter whether it was Noah's army of monsters or the men of the Four Heavenly Kings, they would have to lie down and wait to be beaten without even thinking about it.
After about ten minutes, my limbs and brain finally began to adapt to the environment where there was no point of strength under my feet, and I slowly began to master some tricks.
Gao Han was the first to master it. One was because Su Lanyu taught him step by step, and the other was that Gao Han could indeed learn anything much faster. This must be admitted, because after all, there are still differences between people, otherwise there would be There will be no difference between genius and idiot.
Then came Ma Tao, but Ma Tao could only master a little bit of slow gliding on the ice. It was still early for him to be able to come and go as freely as others.
As for Xiao Jinzi, standing there was so anxious that there was a black line on his forehead, but his feet and butt were really afraid of falling, and he almost lost the courage to even take a step.
As for my sister, she is a robot. This is something that humans can never compare to. By scanning the behavior of local people gliding on the ice, they can capture those movements and trajectories and copy them perfectly to their own system. This ability to move on the ice is considered to be learned. Yes, this skill is something that humans will never be able to master.
Ma Tao walked little by little on the ice, and passed by a hunchbacked old man with white hair and an unkempt beard. However, he was bent over, with his hands behind his back, and his legs could be flipped upside down on the smooth ice. The wind and lightning were gliding up to the top, and it really felt like a fairy.
Ma Tao did not dare to move, and carefully asked the old man to go over first. It was not that Ma Tao had a sense of respecting the old and loving the young, but that Ma Tao was really afraid that the old man would spray him down. If he did, there would be no one left. Ma Tao didn't even think about it for a few minutes.
Unexpectedly, when this old man with white hair and unkempt beard passed by him, their eyes met in mid-air. For a moment, it was as if they were old friends reunited after a long separation, and it was like meeting by chance. That's it. A look seemed to make the old man make up his mind. The old man actually slowed down, and then, with a confused look on his face, Ma Tao watched the old man slowly row towards him.
At this moment, Ma Tao was really shouting loudly in his heart - don't come over! ! ! ! !
But he was no longer in a hurry. When he was about to approach him, the old man bent down and sat down on the ice. He slid directly in front of Ma Tao with the inertia.
Damn it! ! ! !
There are still some people who are cheating in this day and age! ! ! !
It’s almost the end of the world and this profession can still exist. This is so cheating! ! ! !
With ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart, Ma Tao opened his mouth and was about to curse, but the next scene moved him so much that he almost cried.
"Young man, relax your legs, you are too stiff, be natural, be natural"
After the old man slid in front of Ma Tao, he did not touch the porcelain as Ma Tao expected. Instead, he reached out and patted Ma Tao's thighs, which were like two pieces of wood, and then solemnly continued, "Bend your legs. If you want to bend, come and learn from me. Why can't you walk? It's okay to walk, don't be afraid."
As he spoke, the old man straightened up and stood up from his seat, which made Ma Tao even more speechless.
Is this still an old man who is in his final years? How come he is in better health than a young man like himself?
"It's so slippery...it's hard to walk on."
Who would have thought that this old man would actually come to help him? Ma Tao felt embarrassed and said sheepishly.
"It doesn't matter if it's not easy to walk. What's important is where to start walking and where to go. That's the question!"
The old man made a pun, and Ma Tao was stunned for a long time without regaining consciousness.
"What are you thinking about? If you want to walk on the ice, you must first learn to give up yourself and forget yourself. You must forget the feeling of walking before. If you want to enjoy it like flying, don't be afraid of other things. Just indulge yourself. Even if If you're about to fall, don't worry about him. Relax your body. It's nothing if you fall for a while. Just get up and it'll be fine."
The old man spoke earnestly for a while. His eyes were sunken into his thin face. The eye sockets were densely covered with wrinkles full of vicissitudes of time. A pair of cloudy eyeballs moved sluggishly. It may be that the biting cold wind made his eyes uncomfortable. , occasionally shed a drop of muddy tears.
Ma Tao didn't know what to say, but how could this crucial step be so easy? If it were easy, Xiao Jinzi wouldn't have hesitated for a long time without making a promise.
Unexpectedly, when the old man saw that Ma Tao was not moving, he pushed Ma Tao hard. This was so sudden. Ma Tao expected that the old man would suddenly take action, but he didn't expect that the old man was really strong. It was so big that with this push, he was like an arrow leaving the string on the smooth ice surface, and he slid straight out at a very fast speed.
Holy shit! ! ! !
Ma Tao couldn't help but cursed in his heart, but it was of no use. He was walking on the ice. If he were not careful, he would not only fall, but also fall far away.
After a moment of panic and confusion, Ma Tao finally managed to keep his body balanced. The most important thing was that before Ma Tao was about to have a close contact with a bare tree, he actually allowed the sliding trajectory to appear as if he was lucky enough to do so. There was a slight change, and it was this subtle change that allowed him to pass by the big tree on the ice.
After stopping, Ma Tao let out a long breath, but the breath in his heart was still there. Thinking of being cheated by the old man, he was really angry and turned around to find the old guy. Of course, he was old. It's so big, naturally you can't do anything, but there is always nothing wrong with Jingjingli. When he turned around, Ma Tao was shocked again. ,
At this moment, he was already about two or three hundred meters away from his previous position. He had just been thinking about not hitting trees, not hitting people, not falling down. This was almost a subconscious reaction of his body. Unexpectedly, this escape actually happened. After sneaking out so far, he was looking at Xiao Jinzi, who was looking at him with admiration. Even Gao Han, who was being taught by Su Lanyu, was surprised to see Ma Tao rowing out so far alone. There was a look of deep surprise in his eyes.
"Brother Tao, how did you do it? You rowed so far just now and avoided obstacles so perfectly? Please teach me."
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Jinzi's adoring voice sounded from the watch on his hand.
"I was...I..."
Ma Tao was just about to say that an old man pushed him over, but when he was looking for it, there was no old man around. Except for a few children and people passing by, there was also one from the human weapons and equipment store. Even one of the old man's No hair was seen.
Ma Tao was stunned again. He didn't believe in evil and wanted to take a look. He looked around, but after searching in a small circle, he still couldn't find the old man with white hair and unshaven beard. He turned around and slid over like a piece of gold.
Didn't he see a ghost in broad daylight? A good living person disappeared just after he said goodbye. Isn't this a joke? He had to make it clear to Xiao Jinzi.
But looking at Xiao Jinzi's face getting closer and closer, Ma Tao was suddenly stunned, because he discovered a problem, that is, he was able to move flexibly on the ice just now. Xiao Jinzi's face opposite was full of He felt excited and magical. Perhaps, he must have become a particularly powerful person in his eyes now.
But how to explain all this? Seeing that he was about to arrive in front of Xiao Jinzi, Ma Tao simply decided not to say anything. Anyway, they didn't see the old man. Since they didn't see it, wouldn't it be better to treat him as one? Put the ballet prince on ice
