1165. Arctic City (1/5)
After hearing the driver's words, Wang Bo quickly said, "Oh, sorry man, I'm taking the kids, so I'm not interested in some mysterious and fun games."
The little loli's eyes were shiny: "I'm interested, I'm interested, brother-in-law, don't you treat me as a child, I'm so old."
Wang Bo scared her: "I'll send you back again and send you a courier mail."
The little loli shrank up unhappily and said timidly: "You can't do this. If the express company forgets me, I will starve to death."
Seeing this, the driver burst into laughter and said, "Sir, you must have misunderstood my meaning. Of course I saw the child. I was talking about the ice and snow challenge."
"Ice and Snow Challenge?" Wang Bo asked with interest. He didn't know about this event yet.
The driver nodded and said, "Yes, every year after heavy snow, there are people here who will participate in the ice and snow challenge to show their strong physique. Many children will participate. Should your little girl try it?"
The little loli asked worriedly: "Do you eat ice and snow? Then I can't do it. My sister said that this will freeze the intestines into a popsicle, and the intestines cannot peristalize, and people will die."
The driver smiled and shook his head: "No, I used a bucket, add ice, snow and cold water to it, and pour it onto it."
Wang Bo said: "Ice Bucket Challenge?"
"It's almost the same, but it's more satisfying and exciting than the ice bucket challenge. It's not to let people know about ALS, but a traditional activity that has been passed down from local to many years. Of course, this activity also has the meaning of charity."
I had nothing to do, so when I returned to the hotel and watched TV, I lost the fun of traveling. So two naughty ghosts, one big and one small, looked at each other and decided to go and take a look.
This activity is held at 1:00 pm, which is the warmest time of the day. The activity is not carried out regularly, but can be held after a heavy snowfall.
After Wang Bo arrived at the scene, four or five blond white children were scrubbing their bodies in bikini or swimming trunks, and there were adults dressed in the same dress.
Seeing this, Lao Wang immediately gave a thumbs up: This is so awesome. The outdoor temperature is now minus five or six degrees below zero. Although it cannot be said that it turns into ice by dripping water, it is definitely cold enough.
Under such temperature, he was trembling with cold in his down jacket. Several children, who were about the same age as the little loli, were not afraid of the cold.
The driver who led Wang Bo and the other two got out of the car and chatted for a few words before coming back. He said, "You two are lucky and have good luck. There must be a big battle today."
Wang Bo asked, "What do you say?"
The driver pointed to the children and said, "They are Russians, and they come here to participate in the dog sled competition. When they learn there is a snow challenge, they come to participate. You know, we won't let the Russians go wild on the American territory, so someone will come to fight them."
Anchorage was originally a bystander, and as early as the early 19th century, Russians settled nearby. Later, in 1867, US Secretary of State Siward bought Alaska for US$7.2 million, and the local Russians left their hometowns.
Now Russians sell such vast land for $7.2 million is regarded as an international joke, but it was not the case at that time.
At that time, Alaska was really deserted and frozen. The land was frozen all year round and could not be cultivated. There was no coal resources or copper ore resources, so it was a abandoned land.
Later, Anchorage discovered the gold mine, which increased its value. As for the fact that this incident turned into a joke, it was still the discovery of the oil mine.
In this case, the Russians naturally had an extraordinary feeling about Alaska. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union had a saying that they had recaptured Alaska, so the locals had an extraordinary feeling about the Russians.
The little girls in Russia are all very beautiful. Lao Wang, who has a fat baby face and is flushed with red faces, thinks it is cold, his body is strong and smooth, and his lines are not very slim, but he has a healthy charm.
The snow on the ground was deep, more than one meter. The little loli suddenly disappeared as she walked. Wang Bo was startled. The fat cat brother quickly got into the snow and fished it out, and then took out the little loli from a snow pit.
"Don't walk around, follow me. Fortunately, there are Dapang and Erpang, otherwise you will be buried here?" Lao Wang said seriously.
The little loli was really scared and kept nodding: "I know my brother-in-law, I will follow you honestly in the future."
The children participating in the event were ready to warm up. Someone carried a bucket of ice water and ice mixture, put some snow in it, and then lifted the bucket.
"Crash", the ice water fell down with ice cubes. The child covered his face with his hands and giggled when the ice water was finished.
There is a sign in the snow next to it, which reads: If you can do it, then come forward. If you can't do it, please donate charity.
Wang Bo thinks that the Ice Bucket Challenge may be the inspiration found in this event. This rule is very similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge, except that the Ice Bucket Challenge stipulates the amount of donations.
The little loli also saw the sign and said, "Brother-in-law, please give me money, I'll donate."
Lao Wang smiled maliciously and said, "It depends on your own money, my dear little girl."
He took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and put it in the donation box, and someone else put it in the donation in it, mostly for ten or eight yuan.
The little loli was stunned and said, "I didn't bring any change."
Wang Bo said: "It's okay to make up money, do charity, don't care much, God will record it."
The little loli shouted, "I didn't bring the money either. I went out for a trip with you, why did I bring the money?"
Wang Bo pushed her forward and said, "Okay, you can only go to the event."
The little loli hugged his arm, hung it up like a koala, and said, "No, it will freeze to death. I don't want to die, my brother-in-law."
Several Russian children had already finished watering with ice water. Sure enough, some locals were not convinced and came to compete with them with their children.
Although Alaskas are resistant to freezing and cold, the children were born in combat nations. Their lives can be summarized into six words: Don’t be afraid, just do it.
The children in Alaska are still deadly. Several parents pushed their children, and the children kept struggling back and shouting, "I won't go, can summer be done?"
Wang Bo is also pushing the little loli, so he was misunderstood by the onlookers. Someone said, "I'm so cruel, is this my biological child?"
Someone said, "You can tell that it's definitely not my biological child. This man has to have a baby with Alice to give birth to such a beautiful girl."
