Chapter 382 Skiing Lesson
The short winter vacation ended quickly, and the fifth grade semester came to its final third semester.
When this final semester is over, all the students in the fifth grade will be promoted to the sixth grade, and after the sixth grade, they will go to junior high school.
The arrival of the school season does not seem to be a problem, because it is time for the school trip just a few days after school starts.
According to the arrangement, the fifth-grade students' school trip this time was to go to a nearby ski resort to experience the joy of skiing.
“Last winter I went to the ice rink to skate, and this winter I went to the ski resort to ski. It was a really suitable experience.”
Xia Yu, wearing a ski suit and holding ski poles, looked at his classmates who were skiing around on the ski resort and couldn't help but complain.
He was fine, but Li Xiaolang was in a miserable state. Li Xiaolang, who had just arrived at the ski resort not long ago, was still shivering even though he was wearing very thick clothes.
It’s a pity that Li Meiling is not here, otherwise there would be one more person shivering with him.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu suddenly became interested and wanted to see how Li Xiaolang skated.
Now it is free skiing time. After Yoshiyuki Terada’s instruction in the morning, the students have all understood the basic elements of skiing. Although most people will fall while skiing, at least they can ski for a certain distance.
But before he could look for Li Xiaolang, Li Xiaolang's screams were already heard.
"Wow——!!!"
Following the sound, I saw Li Xiaolang with his mouth wide open, his hands trembling, his feet swaying, and he was paddling forward uncontrollably.
Judging from its appearance, it might roll into the snow while sliding, and then roll into a snowball like in the cartoons.
No, this world is originally a cartoon. Does that mean that Li Xiaolang can really turn into a snowball?
Just when Xia Yu was gloating and planning to laugh at Li Xiaolang's misfortune, he suddenly noticed that there were people in the direction where Li Xiaolang was gliding, and they happened to be Xiaoying and the others who were gathered together.
If Li Syaoran can't stop, they will probably collide with each other. Although Xiaoying and the others can dodge, Li Syaoran will uncontrollably crash into the trees in front.
Looking at Li Xiaolang sliding faster and faster with no sign of stopping, Xia Yu let out a light click, exerted force with his hands, and slid quickly towards Li Xiaolang.
At the same time, Sakura and the others were there.
Noticing the screaming Li Syaoran rushing towards them, Sakura subconsciously shouted in surprise: "Syaoran!?"
"Get out of the way!"
Li Xiaolang shouted in panic: "I can't control myself!"
Seeing that Li Xiaolang was getting faster and faster and the two sides were about to collide, Xia Yu suddenly rushed out from the side and drifted in front of Li Xiaolang.
Then he grabbed Li Xiaolang's arm, and used the momentum and the skis under his feet to make Li Xiaolang and him spin at the same time.
After turning several circles on the snow, when the momentum gradually subsided, he stretched out his hand and let go of Li Syaoran, and Li Syaoran fell right in front of Xiaoying.
Feeling that his body had stopped, Li Syaoran could not help but rub his forehead, but before he could figure out the current situation, Sakura lowered her head and asked.
"Little Wolf, are you okay?"
"I……"
Facing Sakura's approaching face, Li Syaoran's face suddenly turned red when he thought about how Sakura had seen his embarrassing appearance just now, and he tried to get up in a panic.
However, the snow was slippery and he had just fallen. The more panicked he became, the harder it was for him to get up.
Looking at Li Xiaolang's hurried and embarrassed appearance, Xiaoying couldn't help but chuckle, and stretched out her hand to Li Xiaolang and said, "Come and hold my hand."
"it is good……"
Looking at the hand that Sakura stretched out, Li Syaoran blushed, and awkwardly took Sakura's hand, then used the force to stand up.
But just as he stood up, Xia Yu came over and shook his head, saying, "Can you do it? You can't skate, you can't skate, you can't ski, you can't ski, and you're a martial arts student."
"Just because I know martial arts doesn't mean I can do these!"
Li Xiaolang's embarrassment disappeared instantly, and he retorted to Xia Yu somewhat unhappily. However, the next second, he seemed to react. If Xia Yu had not helped him just now, he might have bumped into Xiaoying and the others.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned his head and muttered softly: "Thank you just now."
"What? What did you say? Thank me? Your voice was too soft and I couldn't hear you."
"..."
Li Xiaolang resisted the urge to punch Xia Yu, snorted, and ignored him.
Instead, Xiaoying looked at Xia Yu and said, "Xia, you were so amazing just now. It turns out that nothing can stop you."
"That's right. After all, I studied it in Hawaii."
"Hawaii?"
“Yes, Hawaii.”
Xia Yu nodded in agreement and said, "At Hawaii Polytechnic, you can learn anything you want to learn, including but not limited to pistol shooting, driving a boat, driving a submarine, flying an airplane, etc. There are many different courses for you to choose from."
"oh oh!"
Hearing Xia Yu's eloquent speech, Xiaoying asked in surprise: "Can you even learn to fly a plane?"
"Of course. As far as I know, there was an elementary school student nicknamed Death Elementary School Student who once learned the skills of flying an airplane in Hawaii."
“I really want to go to Hawaii.”
Seeing Xia Yu speaking so seriously, Xiaoying's eyes sparkled, and she fantasized about the Hawaii Vocational and Technical College he mentioned with anticipation in her tone.
Even Li Xiaolang, who was secretly listening at the side, couldn't help but be moved. If he also went to Hawaii to study, wouldn't he be able to know everything like Xia Yu and Elio?
……
The day's skiing class went by with a lot of bumps and bruises. Under Xia Yu's guidance, Li Xiaolang quickly mastered how to control his body while skiing. Although he was still a little shaky when skiing, as if he was about to fall, at least he was not like before when he couldn't even control his body.
Sakura is also making gradual progress under Tomoyo's guidance. In fact, like Li Syaoran, she just started skiing today.
Night, hotel.
The warm fire emitted a dim glow, and the comfortable heat waves made the entire lounge of the hotel warm.
At this moment, Sakura and a few others were sitting around the sofa chatting.
"It was so much fun skiing today."
Sakura recalled her afternoon skiing and talked about it with a smile on her face. Naoko replied, "Sakura, you are very good at skiing in the afternoon."
"It's all thanks to Tomoyo's good teaching. Naoko, you're also good at skating after just one day of learning."
"Because Yamazaki is also a good teacher. He taught me from the side."
Hearing his name appear, Yamazaki immediately came over and said with a smile: "You know what? Speaking of skiing..."
However, just as he said this, Chiharu reached out and pushed his head back.
"That's enough. Just be quiet during your break."
Naoko looked at Yamazaki who was interrupted by Chiharu, and couldn't help but smiled and said again: "By the way, speaking of the night in the snowy mountains..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Sakura subconsciously shrank back. She felt that Naoko was about to say something she didn't want to hear.
"Let's tell a ghost story!" Naoko's eyes lit up and she exclaimed excitedly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Sakura was so frightened that she fell on the sofa, trembling a little.
She knew it!
Chiharu, who was standing by, heard what Naoko said and asked curiously, "Did you go out of your way to find some ghost stories related to this place?"
"I looked for it, but I couldn't find anything nice or interesting."
After she finished speaking with some regret, Naoko immediately looked at the others and asked, "Oh, by the way, does anyone know any ghost stories about the ski resort?"
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing Naoko's excitement, Sakura was so scared that she shrank into a ball.
Yamazaki, who was standing next to him, immediately came over and said, "Speaking of the ski resort..."
However, just as he started, Chiharu interrupted him and said, "We don't want to listen to nonsense, we want to listen to ghost stories."
"that……"
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Sakura weakly reached out her hand, wanting to offer some suggestions, but she didn't really want to listen.
"By the way, Li, Xia, and Hiiragi, are there any ghost stories about ski resorts in your country?"
Naoko looked at the foreigners present with curiosity. Since she had no story, she might as well ask others.
Realizing that no one was paying attention to her, Sakura cried silently, or she might as well have blocked her ears.
"Speaking of stories, I actually know a story about a snow mountain." Xia Yu suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
Xiaoying looked over nervously and wanted to leave just like that, and Xia Yu's voice rang out immediately.
"Master Lin is at the Snow Mountain Temple, and Lu Yuhou is setting fire to the hayfield."
"There is a poem that says, 'The justice of heaven is clear and cannot be refuted, do not use evil as a good intention. If it were not for the snow and wind to sell the village wine, it would have been burned and turned into rotten withered. He thought he was poisoned by the underworld, but who knew that there was a god to help him in secret. I pity him the most for escaping death, he is really a rare and great man."
After reading the opening poem, Xia Yu clapped his hands and continued with great empathy: "It is said that Lin Chong was walking leisurely that day when someone called him from behind. When he turned around, he recognized it as the drunkard Li Xiaoer."
"When I was in Tokyo, I was taken care of by Lin Chong. When Li Xiaoer was in Tokyo, he stole the property of a store owner and was caught. He was to be brought to court to be punished..."
"Let's stop talking about small talk and just talk about the real thing..."
"After walking less than half a mile, I saw an ancient temple..."
"One point of spiritual platform, the five elements create..."
"... After all, we will see where Lin Chong was taken by the farmhands. We will find out in the next chapter."
After finishing the ending, Xia Yu let out a breath. He was exhausted after telling such a long story in one breath and translating it into Japanese.
But seeing the stunned looks on everyone's faces, I just felt it was worth it. He is worthy of being the one who can make even his storytelling so fascinating.
After a few seconds, everyone who had listened to it slowly came back to their senses. Qianchun subconsciously asked: "This should be just a small part of the story, right? What happened to Lin Chong later?"
Naoko asked in confusion: "Is this really a ghost story? Although it is indeed quite exciting and has fighting scenes, why is it not scary at all?"
"Because this guy wasn't telling a ghost story at all, he was telling a plot from The Water Margin."
Li Xiaolang supported his face with one hand and complained speechlessly. No wonder it sounded familiar to him at first. When the familiar name Lin Chong appeared, he immediately realized that this guy was clearly telling the story of "Water Margin".
How can this be called a ghost story? Although there are indeed some stories about gods and ghosts in "Water Margin", there are clearly no ghosts and gods in the story of Master Lin.
But apart from anything else, this guy is pretty amazing. He was able to tell this story in Japanese, and even used a haiku-like style for the setting poem.
Tsk, how come this guy knows everything? He's about the same age as them.
