Chapter 114 Snowboard
Shen Rou didn't know she was being watched. She had been busy doing bomb experiments day and night for the past two days.
Shen Xue came over with a plate of dumplings and food, "Sister, you forgot it's New Year's Day today!"
"Ah! It's New Year's Day, I totally forgot about it."
Shen Rou took the dumplings with a smile and started eating. "Mmm! They're delicious. I've been so busy traveling lately, and now that I'm in the military camp, I've been busy too. I almost forgot about the New Year."
"I don't know how Xiaonan is doing at her grandma's house."
"Don't worry! Grandma and Grandpa won't treat him badly. We should go back after the war stabilizes."
At this time, Han Lin came over with a ski and two wooden sticks. "Princess Furong, do you think these skis are suitable?"
"We'll know the effect only after we try it out on the snow."
"Big sister, there's no rush. Eat your fill first."
Shen Rou finished eating quickly, and they left the barracks and came to the snow.
Put your feet on the skis and fix them with ropes, hold the wooden sticks tightly with both hands, push hard, and speed across the snow.
The cold wind made her cheeks red, but her eyes were full of excitement. She skillfully manipulated the skateboard, drawing beautiful arcs on the snow.
Shen Xue and Han Lin stared with wide eyes, looking at Shen Rou who had slid far away with a look of disbelief on their faces. They had never imagined that an ordinary piece of wood could have such a magical use.
"This...how is this possible?"
"Incredible indeed! As the prince's guard, I know quite a bit, but I never expected I'd be so far behind your elder sister."
"My eldest sister is incredibly intelligent. She can always find a solution to any problem."
They stared at Shen Rou who was returning, and were full of admiration. Her speed was so fast that it was almost as fast as riding a horse, and she didn't leave any traces on the snow.
After you learn how to ski, you don’t have to worry about heavy snow and difficulty walking on the snow.
"County Lady Furong, are you satisfied with this ski board?"
"That's right. Order your craftsmen to hurry up and make at least five or six thousand of them. Once they're finished, have the soldiers learn from them. Once my experiments are complete in a few days, we can implement the next plan. This battle should be over by then."
"County Master Furong, please teach me how to use it. I will teach the soldiers after I learn it."
"Balance is key to skiing. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, weight forward, and arms hanging naturally."
"Use the stick to push your body forward and use the strength of your feet to control your speed and direction. During the sliding process, keep your body stable and avoid shaking."
"Turning is one of the more difficult techniques to master in skiing. When turning, you need to lean your body weight inwards and push outwards with your poles to change the direction of sliding."
"Braking is an important skill for controlling speed and avoiding collisions. When braking, tilt the skis with your feet inward to form a figure eight, and use a wooden stick to support the ground to increase friction."
"When we were almost at the enemy camp, we lay down on our skis and covered ourselves with white sheepskin, making it difficult for the enemy to detect us."
"No wonder you asked me to collect thousands of white sheepskins. It turns out they are used here."
"Han Lin, try sliding it and follow the steps I just told you."
"it is good."
Han Lin followed Shen Rou's instructions and slowly tried to slide on the snow. At first, he was a little uncomfortable, but after practicing a few times, he gradually mastered the sense of balance.
As the speed increased, he began to try turning and braking, carefully adjusting his center of gravity and completing the turn smoothly.
Shen Rou watched Han Lin master turning and braking after a few attempts, and whispered, "The prince's guards are smart, bold, and careful."
Seeing Han Lin had mastered it, Shen Xue said with anticipation, "Sister, I want to try it later. It looks really fun."
"It's fun, sure. It's easy to fall at the beginning. Are you afraid?"
"Not afraid."
"Don't cry when you fall down."
"Sister, you keep making fun of me. How can I, an adult, cry?"
"You're just a little brat, and you dare to lie and claim you're an adult. Wait until Han Lin comes, and then you can try."
Shen Xue stood there dancing with anticipation.
Han Lin quickly slid to Shen Rou's side, "Han Lin, you learn really fast."
Han Lin said modestly: "Thank you, Princess Furong, for your compliment."
"Xiaoxue, it's your turn."
Shen Xue excitedly jumped onto the skis, but just as she started, she lost her balance and fell to the snow with a cry of "ouch".
Unconvinced, get up and try again.
"This girl just won't admit defeat."
"Xiaoxue is very smart, but she just didn't grasp the key points."
Shen Rou was happier to hear others praising her sister than herself.
This time she pushed the stick carefully and slid it slowly.
Gradually, she mastered some techniques and was able to slide steadily on the snow for a distance. Although she fell many times, Shen Xue was very happy.
"Big sister, look, I can do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a thud, and several people burst into laughter.
Shen Xue continued to practice, constantly challenging herself to higher levels of difficulty.
