Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 404
The stairs to enter the house are very high. This staircase directly lifts people to the second floor to enter the house, and the first floor still has windows, which means it is still in use... The stairs are so high that Ye Kai thinks of a Chinese tradition.

The bigger the family, the higher the threshold.

But if it is really so high, so high that entering the house directly leads to the second floor, only the emperor would dare to build such a house.

After entering the house, Ye Kai saw an old man, a middle-aged woman, sitting in the living room, knitting a sweater. Although it was not dark, the living room was lit with candles... and there was no heating here, and they relied on the fireplace for warmth.

It's so remote here.

This house was built in a huge wilderness. There is no village or shop behind the huge wilderness. It takes two hours to walk out, and even half an hour to drive to see people.

If you live here for a few days by chance, Ye Kai will feel very beautiful and romantic, but if you stay here for a long time... Reasonably, Ye Kai admires them, not everyone has the courage to leave modern society and step into the wilderness.

Jack introduced Ye Kai: "This is my father, Lambert Quint, and this is my wife, Fenna Quint..."

Ye Kai stepped forward to shake hands: "Nice to meet you, my name is Xiao En Ye..."

After Jack and the two introduced Ye Kai's identity, everyone sat in the living room and talked again, and Fenna went to the yard to collect firewood.

This living room has paintings, hanging candlesticks, and many tools...but there is no refrigerator, no TV, and many modern and convenient home appliances are not found here. It is a room that does not rely on any electricity.

"Is this the house you live in all year round?"

Lambert shook his head and said, "We only live here every winter. The first is to get close to nature, and the second is to take care of the animals in the winter farm. God knows what will happen without us to take care of them."

It turned out to be a second property...

Lambert is 60 years old and has a lot of weight, like an American-style fat man, wearing a thick sweater and sitting on a huge sofa, but he is in good health, can eat and drink, and has great strength in work.

Lambert told Ye Kai that this house has been passed down for a long time and was burned down decades ago, but they quickly rebuilt such a house on the site.

No wonder the design of the building has a sense of incongruity.

The fat old man told Ye Kai that he was only six years old at the time, and his family ran out without any clothes on. If it wasn’t for the temperature of the fire protecting them, they would have almost died of freezing.

Lambert attributed their survival to the help of the elves.

"Our family has moved here since the 19th century, and it is now the seventh generation..." Speaking of this, Lambert also found an ancient book that recorded the history of their family.

The book records the major events that happened to their family every year.

Jack said:
"When the family gathers every summer, more than 100 people will come here. It is very lively at that time. If you are still in Iceland at that time, we welcome you to come here as a guest."

"If I was still in Iceland, I would definitely come."

Ye Kai's family is small, and he doesn't have any family concept. He is very envious of this kind of lively scene. After all, what people want most is what they don't have.

There are saddles and various horse riding tools on the wall. Jack asked Ye Kai about it, and both of them chose not to use it... Jack doubted Ye Kai's level, but he still took Ye Kai out of the door.

No saddle, no stirrups.

Icelandic horses are not tall and can be mounted by simply pressing their necks, but how can a horse let you ride on it casually?You can't touch a tiger's butt, but you can get on a horse's back?
The Icelandic horse said no, so he struggled hard.

It wasn't until he was exhausted from struggling that he accepted that someone was riding on his back. The experience of being ridden last year emerged in his memory, and two lines of horse tears fell down involuntarily.

It turns out that the time for being ridden by humans once a year has come.

Seeing that Jack's handling was so simple and easier than he remembered, Ye Kai couldn't help but increase his belief. He found the most beautiful Icelandic horse, touched the horse's neck excitedly, and jumped on it.

What Ye Kai and Jack didn't expect was that the horse didn't struggle, and roared happily, even more excited than Ye Kai, and even took small steps on the ground with its two front hooves.

This……

Ye Kai was dumbfounded, and so was Jack.

Am I not taming a horse?
Ye Kai still wanted to be a western cowboy, hugging the horse's neck and letting the wild horse sway left and right, but he couldn't get off... But why did you surrender yourself?
Why don't you save face and struggle a bit?
However, Yima's IQ doesn't know what it means to give face, laugh when he is happy, and run when he is happy.

So it trotted up.

Dumbfounded, Ye Kai patted the horse's belly with both feet to speed up, using the mane to control the direction of the horse, as obedient as an old horse that had been trained for several years, without any temper at all.

But it didn't take long for Ye Kai to come back.

I still have to be on the saddle, and it hurts my thighs without protection.

The Icelandic horse may not be explosive enough, but it has high stamina. Although it is not fast enough to run, it can keep moving at high speed for a long time without stopping to pant. Ye Kai likes this very much.

The ancients said that a Maxima is definitely not a horse that has enough explosive power but not enough stamina, but a horse like Icelandic horse that can run long distances at high speed.

When it got dark, I went back to the house for dinner, and I had to stay here at night.

Although there are only four people for dinner, there are red wine, goblets, candles that light up the whole room, white reflective plates, and delicious lamb chops...

Ye Kai believes that if you go to a western restaurant with such a meal and such quality lamb chops, you will definitely not be able to eat it for less than 1000 yuan... Not all lamb in any place has the taste of Icelandic lamb that surpasses that of beef.

In addition to lamb chops, whole potatoes, broccoli, corn soup and bread…

The sumptuous dinner made Ye Kai a little embarrassed. Thinking in another way, if it was just eating for the whole family, it would definitely not be so complicated. Even the red wine was brought out.

In the room late at night, Ye Kai thought about how to repay him.

It is impossible to give money, unless Ye Kai doesn't want to make this friend anymore, but there is no way to help them from other places... Could it be that they promote the sheep on their farm in the travel notes?

Ask Jack tomorrow, he went to a party today and won't be back tonight.

Thinking of travel notes, Ye Kai thought of the scene he saw on the mountain before.

Icelanders are forbidden to go down the path.

In the mist that smelled of sulfur, those huge rocks that no one dared to approach were like huge, ancient faces. Their faces gathered all the expressions and feelings of countless years...

Coming here from the city of Reykjavik, from a noisy world to a purely natural world, Ye Kai felt that human beings are very small, and a human being is really too small in front of nature.

Human beings should be in awe of nature, Ye Kai thought, this sentence Ye Kai wanted to write in his travel notes.

This is an attitude that humans should give to nature.
