Chapter 18
The next day
The weather was fine, with warm sunshine, and the snow stopped falling. There was a thin layer of fresh snow on top of the already thick snow on the ground.
"Are you all up? Get everything you need to bring and get ready to go." Brother Gui reminded everyone.Some people are still bleary-eyed, and some people have already returned from morning exercises.
"Brother Gui, it's only past eight o'clock! Why did you go so early?" Bost rubbed his eyes and yawned.
Qi Feng stopped packing and said, "Go early so you can play for a while, there's nothing wrong with that. Jung, take off the clothes you want to change, so we can clean up."
"Bost, Foxy, go and brush your teeth, wash your face and change your clothes. The time limit is 5 minutes. Leave the villa in 5 minutes." Brother Gui issued an ultimatum.
"5 minutes? It's a little bit. Can 10 minutes be enough?"
"4 minutes. Countdown. 3 minutes 59, 58, 57." Brother Gui looked at his watch and counted.Bost and Foxy heard the countdown and rushed upstairs as fast as they could.After they disappeared from the stairs, Brother Gui asked, "Vibrant, Franck, why didn't you two wake them up earlier?"
"Brother Gui, don't be angry..." Frank explained.
At this time, Marcus and Kevin came down from the second floor, and Kevin followed behind with a small bag on his back.Kevin said: "I haven't skied for a long time, and I only skied once in the United States. I'm afraid I forgot how to ski."
"I haven't learned skiing before, but I have to learn it this time. Trouble." Marcus complained.Originally, Marcus wanted to refuse and didn't want to go to skating school, but seeing Kevin's longing eyes and his expression of wanting to go, he agreed to go.
"It's not difficult to learn, I'll teach you when the time comes. Or there are coaches there, they will teach you." Kevin said cheerfully, it can be seen that Kevin is looking forward to this skiing.
"you teach me."
"it is good."
"Brother Ghost, we packed it up." Marcus walked to the coffee table in the living room, picked up the thermos bottle on top, filled it with a bottle full of warm water, and then gave the thermos bottle to Kevin. Let Kevin put it in the backpack.Then he took out a pair of hand-knit gloves from the backpack and handed them to Kevin, asking him to put them on.Then he reminded Kevin to put on his coat and jacket, and asked Kevin if he wanted to stick some warm babies.Marcus didn't feel relieved until he saw Kevin dressed as a dumpling. "Don't catch a cold. It's hard to get better if you catch a cold." Marcus said distressedly.
"how about you?"
"Leave me alone, I won't get sick." Marcus made a strong pose, which made Kevin want to laugh.
"Are you all here? Let's go when you're done. Patrick, Leo, you two drive. Kevin, Finn, Bobst, Verbrant, Luca, and Sharp take one car, and the rest take another car." , "Ghost Brother asked after arranging everything: "Marcus, are you not with us?".
"Yes. I want to go to a place first and then go there. Then I'll go first and see you later." After finishing speaking, Marcus put on his helmet and started a Harley.After a few seconds, only two traces left on the snow can be seen.
"Okay, let's get in the car and set off."
滑雪 场
More than an hour later, everyone arrived at the scheduled ski resort.Florian arrived early to pay for the ski rental.After everyone put their luggage in the luggage depository, they went to pick out suitable ski equipment and clothes. After changing in the locker room, everyone couldn't wait to go skiing.Kevin didn't go skiing immediately but observed the surrounding environment, which was not necessary, but occupational diseases made him always observe the environment first after arriving in a new environment, in the shortest time to find out the most beneficial situation for him in an emergency tools, routes, etc.
Near lunch, a black Harley appeared outside the glass door of the atrium of the ski resort.The driver turned off the engine, took off his helmet and hung it on the car mirror, got out of the car gracefully, opened the door and walked into the ski resort.Just happened to meet a group of people returning to the central hall from the ski resort.
"Why are you here now? I'm going to eat." Sharp asked.
"Sorry, I have to get things done before I can come." Marcus rolled his eyes, pretending to have a helpless expression.
"Okay, it's good to be here. Let's go and change out of our ski clothes and have dinner first. We will take a break at noon and continue in the afternoon." Florian mediated.
There are many restaurants next to the ski resort, and each restaurant has different tastes.
Kevin went last, and Marcus approached. "Didn't you ski this morning?"
"No," Kevin smiled at Marcus, "I'm hungry, let's go eat." After speaking, Kevin walked towards the door, and Marcus followed.
restaurant
While the two were eating, Marcus said, "I went to see Ivan and Canglang in the morning. They are in good condition. Yesterday Canglang took Ivan to visit the BMW Museum and BMW World. Canglang Said that last night Ivan was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and wanted to call Yelena, but Canglang didn't allow it, so he made up one this morning, and I was very happy when chatting with Yelena, Canglang said." Marcus ate After the meal, he continued: "They will live with Tim these days, and Tim and Xenia will protect them." Having said this, Marcus stopped and looked up at Kevin, and said, "It's wolf time. Not much more. Before he came to Germany, he went for an examination. The doctor said that even with medication, he might only live for half a year at most."
Hearing what Marcus said, Kevin was very surprised, "Half a year? So little? Then if you receive other treatments, will you have more time?"
Marcus shook his head and said, "It's the last. We didn't find out in time in the early stage, and didn't receive treatment after the discovery. Even if we can get treatment, it won't last for a long time. Canglang said he didn't want to spend time in the hospital. For the rest of the time, he would rather be with Ivan and Yelena."
Kevin didn't know what to say, but he still said: "It's okay, although there is not much time, but the company is good. Does Yelena know his situation?"
"I don't know. Canglang told her that the situation is good, and the condition has not deteriorated."
"God is a little unfair to them."
"There is no fairness in this world. There is no fairness. Well, don't think about it. After all, this is his own path. We can't help him much, but we can do our best. It's time to think about his death Finally, what should Yelena and Ivan do. They lived without him before, but it will be different in the future, and they will be affected by the wolf to some extent."
"Act by chance."
Hearing this answer, Marcus smiled.I lost to you, Marcus thought to himself, but that's right, it's still uncertain what will happen in the future, and no one can predict the future, so we can only play by ear and adapt to the situation. "Teach me how to ski this afternoon." Marcus changed the subject.
"Okay. I promise you will learn it as soon as you learn it."
Afternoon Ski Resort
"Put on the snowboard first, and there should be no snow on the soles of the shoes, so the snow on the soles must be cleared. Then push the toes forward and step on the heels hard. Then take the snowball, pass under the rope and then hold the ski poles. Familiarize yourself with the skis and poles first. Just spread your feet about shoulder width apart, bend your legs a little bit, then slide back and forth, swinging the snowball. Then try turning around, turning about 45 degrees at a time. Well, that's it , practice first.
Seeing that Marcus is doing well, I said, "Then it's time to learn how to skate. The easiest thing to learn first, the downhill ski. First, the calf is parallel to the back, and the center of gravity is forward. Yes , almost like this. Then, the sliding posture is determined according to the sliding speed. There are three types. The high position is low speed, the middle position is medium speed, and the low position is high speed. In high position, the upper body is relatively straight, like this. And a At the beginning, the sliding speed is not fast, so it is a high position. When the sliding speed increases, it must be converted to the middle position. In the middle position, the ski poles should be clamped under the arms, and the upper body should be tilted downward. If it is a low position, the upper body should basically stick Thigh."
Marcus puts on his ski goggles again.
"Wait a minute, you haven't learned to brake yet." Kevin stopped Marcus who wanted to go skiing. "Ski braking is mainly a few steps. First connect the plow brake, use your heel force during sliding, and then the distance between the front of the two skateboards is about 10 cm, and the distance between the tails of the snowboards should be larger. The larger the distance, the better the braking effect. Oh , By the way, this braking method can also be used to slow down. Do you want to try it?"
"it is good."
"I'll give you a push first. You need to relax."
Kevin pushed Marcus lightly behind him, and Marcus slid down the straight slope.The movements are good, and the skiing is okay, but the legs feel a little unnatural. Looking at the back of Marcus skiing, Kevin thought to himself, as expected, he still needs to practice more.Then Kevin slid down too, next to Marcus.
"How do you feel?" Kevin asked, taking off his ski goggles.
"It's okay, it's not difficult. What do you think, teacher?"
"Teacher?" Kevin couldn't hold back a smile: "Your legs look a little tense when you're sliding. And the movements of your arms should be more standardized, and the range can be bigger."
"Follow the instruction." After finishing speaking, Marcus bowed to Kevin like a former student of China.
"Walk back and slide down there again."
Kevin and Marcus walked back from the side of the ski run to the place where they just slid down.Kevin said he would show Marcus a demonstration, so he slid first. Kevin waved his arms and slid down the slide from the top with the strength of his arms.On the slide, there were several obstacles, and Kevin lowered his body and slid beautifully from the right side of the obstacles.Sliding to the prominence of the cliff, a beautiful 360-degree somersault under the sunshine, more shining, Kevin landed safely and continued to slide forward.Standing on a high place, Marcus watched Kevin make a series of beautiful and fluent skiing movements with his own eyes, and couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart.
evening villa
Foxy threw the luggage aside and said with emotion: "It feels so good to be back."
"But to cook." Fein's words poured cold water on Foxy.
"Give me the bag, I'll take it up, drink some water to warm up your body first." Marcus said to Kevin after putting on his fur shoes.
"Okay, then I'll cook after drinking water." Kevin said.
After more than an hour, a sumptuous dinner was prepared through the efforts of several people.Kevin shouted to the living room that it was time to eat, and everyone came to the dining room to sit down and start eating.
"I've been hungry for a long time, and I can finally eat." Foxy looked at the dishes on the table, swallowed, and picked up the chopsticks to eat without hesitation.
"Did you starve to death in your previous life? You've been yelling hungry since before cooking. Didn't you eat a snack just now?" Bost asked.
"Hey, skiing is exhausting, okay? Aren't you hungry?" Foxy retorted.
While Bost and Foxy were arguing, Marcus and Kevin sat in the far corner, eating a hot meal.Marcus put a piece of fish in Kevin's bowl, and glanced at Kevin, as if asking why Kevin didn't eat vegetables.Kevin took a bite of the fish.Seeing that Kevin had finished eating the fish, Marcus gave Kevin some more beef, but Kevin put the beef in his bowl back to Marcus, and whispered in Marcus's ear that I would hurry up. I'm full and can't eat so much.Hearing Kevin's words, Marcus said hello.
After dinner, Kevin and Marcus put the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher and cleared the table.The two of them are like an old married couple, and they cooperate perfectly. You wash the pot and I wipe the stove; you clean up the leftovers and I wipe the table; you sweep the floor and I mop the floor.
"The two of them, don't you feel a bit like people who have lived together for many years?" Sharp looked at Kevin and Marcus who were packing up.
"Indeed," Brother Gui continued with a smile; "It's unavoidable to make people envious."
夜晚
"Who wants to play flying chess over there?" Finn suggested.
There is another villa next to the villa where the 16 people often stay, but that villa is mainly used for playing and sleeping, and more often they stay in the villa they are staying in now.Occasionally, I want to play some toys or games with a large number of participants, so someone named it Toy House.At the same time, there are more secrets hidden in the toy house that should not be known to ordinary people.
Samuel and Luca immediately responded that they wanted to play, to pass the time.Kevin thought for a moment and joined in.So the four of them opened the balcony door of the living room, crossed the small garden that had been covered by snow directly from the balcony of this villa, and entered the villa from the balcony of the toy house.Marcus just wanted to tell Kevin to put on his coat before going out, but Kevin was already in the small garden.Afterwards, Marcus went upstairs to get a thick shawl and poured a cup of hot water from the kitchen, then went to the toy house, put the shawl on Kevin's shoulders, and put the cup beside Kevin.
After that, Marcus turned on the air conditioner in the living room, and the living room gradually became warmer.Kevin took off the shawl on his shoulders and put it aside, took a sip of the still warm water.
It was past 11 o'clock when the four of them finally finished a game, and it was Samuel who finished first.After taking a shower, Kevin and Marcus went back to their room and took a rest early.
Before 1 o'clock, the lights of both villas were extinguished.Everyone is under the warm blanket.
Indeed, today is quite tiring.Everyone is tired from playing.
In the next few days, the weather was not very good, but occasionally a few people would go out to play or build snowmen in the garden and have snowball fights.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed quickly, and everyone returned to their respective places again.Marcus and Kevin are going to the United States, and Marcus plans to live in the United States for a while, and deal with the odds and ends in the United States before dealing with other things.
