Chapter 7 Men Can't Say No

Looking at his brother's pitiful eyes, how could Ye Yuze, who had been away from the warmth of family for a long time, say no?

He still couldn't tell the difference between skiing and skating, so he naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation.

After a while, Wei Yuxiang ran in with his skis.

Ye Yuze was immediately stunned when he saw it. In his impression, skis were all made of aluminum alloy. They were very high-end equipment.

Of course, this is what he watched on TV and short videos. In real life, he has nothing to do with this somewhat luxurious sport.

But at this time, Wei Yuxiang's skis finally made him realize that skiing is actually a poor people's sport.

Because this guy's skis were obviously just a pole that had been sawed off. Several nails were hammered into it and bent. Then it was tied directly to the shoes with sheepskin strips.

So this is okay? Ye Yuze immediately felt a little excited.

I never imagined that I could join the aristocratic club so quickly!

He helped Wei Yuxiang fix the missing nails. The leather strips were all ready-made. Wei Yuxiang saved a lot.

In this way, Ye Yuze and Wei Yuxiang carried the skis. Behind them, Ye Yufan and Wei Yucui pulled the small sledge and set off in a mighty manner.

Ye Yuze originally wanted to lock the door, but when he saw several people looking at him in surprise, he gave up.

After passing through the company's houses all the way, he realized why they were surprised. It turned out that not a single house in the company had its door locked.

It turns out that in this era, there is no need to lock the door. Ye Yuze finally learned the first thing.

Following the road to the foot of the mountain, I saw a group of children pulling sledges to climb up the hillside.

After climbing up a slope, sit on the sledge and slide down.

This is not the slide of later generations. The slope is at least three to four hundred meters. When the sledge slipped halfway, the speed could be described as lightning fast.

A novice like Ye Yuze would definitely tremble. But those who play this are obviously kids as old as younger brothers, right?

Their sledges are simplified versions of horse-drawn sledges. They are just two wooden bars with raised heads and steel plates underneath.

Several horizontal wooden boards are nailed to the wooden strips. An iron ring is nailed to the front wooden board of the sledge.

Tie a rope to the hoop and you can pull it along.

The children here each have one hand. When they encounter an uphill slope, they pull them along. When they go downhill, they slide down directly. In this way, the walking speed is much faster.

When the ground is flat, you can also sit on it and use ski poles to slide.

Of course, little kids’ snow poles are not made of the same materials that will be available in hundreds or even thousands in later generations.

People just find two wooden sticks at random and then push them in backward with two large nails.

Ye Yuze thought they would all play here. But Wei Yuxiang pointed at the two children.

"You guys can play here while Ye Yuze and I go up the mountain."

Wei Yucui opened her mouth and was about to cry. However, Wei Yuxiang's eyes widened.

The little loli stopped crying immediately. Ye Yuze always thought that this loli was controlled by remote control.

“Which mountain to climb?”

Ye Yuze asked curiously.

Wei Yuxiang pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "This is it. Have you seen the people on the mountain?"

Ye Yuze looked up and was startled. He was too tall. The so-called people were just a few small black dots halfway up the mountain.

He looked at Wei Yuxiang and asked in confusion:

"You mean climbing to the top of this mountain?"

Wei Yuxiang nodded of course with reason.

"Of course, we are all men!"

Ye Yuze looked at him in confusion, then at himself. He also nodded.

"Okay, two men who haven't grown up yet."

After getting off the road, although the snow on the hillside had been baked by the sun and had a layer of crust on the surface, it still couldn't bear the weight of a person. Even though Ye Yuze's current body only weighed more than 40 kilograms.

As soon as I stepped on it, the snow directly reached my thighs. Climbing up a mountain of more than a thousand meters in such snow can be imagined to be difficult.

But at this point, how could Ye Yuze have the nerve not to crawl away? Besides, men can't say no, right?

Gritting his teeth, he began to climb up.

Mountain climbing is physical work, and snow mountain climbing is physical work combined with technical work.

Wei Yuxiang is obviously one level higher than Ye Yuze in terms of weight and height, but he climbs much easier than Ye Yuze.

Seeing that Ye Yuze was having a really hard time climbing, Wei Yuxiang shouted:

"You follow my footsteps. It will save you effort."

At this time, Ye Yuze's mind was in the middle of a battle between heaven and man. He was wondering if men could also say no.

After hearing Wei Yuxiang's words, I tried to step into his footsteps.

He found that in every footprint of Wei Yuxiang, there were traces of kneeling.

He followed suit and kneeled down every time he pulled out his leg.

Not to mention, the most strenuous thing about walking in the snow is pulling your legs out of the snow.

Now that he had ready-made footprints, Ye Yuze saved a lot of effort.

And every time I kneel down, the other leg I step out will also use the force. It feels a lot easier.

Now that I have grasped the trick, men can no longer say no.

It sounds simple, but the energy consumed in each step is indispensable.

What's more, he was carrying a simple sled and ski poles on his shoulders.

After climbing several hundred meters, Ye Yuze's face began to turn purple.

This also has something to do with the fact that he just came to the plateau through his mouth.

Although the altitude here is only more than a thousand meters, it will naturally have no impact on people who have been living in the plains.

Wei Yuxiang saw Ye Yuze's condition and asked him to take a rest.

Ye Yuze threw the things on his shoulders and lay motionless in the snow.

Wei Yuxiang took out a handful of yellow-orange fruits from his pocket and handed them to him.

"Come, eat angustifolia!"

Ye Yuze took it curiously. It was about the size of a fingertip and similar in shape to a red date.

It's just a few sizes too small. The color is golden with a bit of red.

"Anatomy?"

Ye Yuze had never eaten this thing before. He took one and put it in his mouth.

When you bite it gently with your teeth, it tastes soft and sandy. It's fragrant and sweet. It's just a bit astringent when you taste it.

But this did not affect Ye Yuze's liking. He stuffed all the angustifolia into his mouth and chewed them.

It was a satisfying bite, but it was a bit troublesome to spit out the core.

But then another trouble appeared. The fruit was too dry. There was almost no moisture, which made Ye Yuze choke.

Ye Yuze opened his mouth and said with some difficulty: "Water!"

Wei Yuxiang seemed to be used to this kind of situation. He grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into Ye Yuze's mouth.

The cold snow is like white sugar in your mouth. It makes a rustling sound after chewing a few times. Then it turns into ice-cold water.

It feels like drinking ice-cold mineral water in the summer in later generations. But the taste is much better than mineral water.

It is pleasant to the heart and spleen, and also has a kind of sweetness.

After taking a sip of water, the choking pulp also fell into my stomach.

Ye Yuze couldn't help but ask, "Where can I find this kind of fruit?"

Wei Yuxiang pointed casually. "In autumn, you can pick them anywhere."
