The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 211
Advertisement
Yang Dao and the others started to train. They rode behind the jeep and Ayaka scolded them all from time to time. They were learning the tricks Ayaka had gained throughout her life experience.
Kiya looked at a laptop in her hand and said, "Coach, Dao's performance is dipping."
Ayaka said, "That is because he cannot increase his sped to change the gears on his bike, also if he reduced the speed, he will not be able to regain it, we are climbing now."
Sasha suddenly shouted at Icarus, "Icarus, you again raised your back." The boy flinched and said, "Sorry, Boss."
Icarus had a habit of raising his back from time to time. This slight raise will affect their drafting by some milliseconds. It may not look like much but in the long run, it will definitely be harmful to them. Yang Dao said, "Coach, can I ride on my own. I will be dragging everyone with these weights on me."
Ayaka snapped back at him, "No, you will push yourself to match the team. You have always pulled them forward. Let them push you with them for a change. You ride together as a team. Do you understand?"
Everyone replied, "Yes, Coach."
They kept on riding. In the noon the people did not go back to the mansion and ate food the girls had packed for them earlier. Nika was also with them but other than a few sentences with Kiya or Sasha she did not say anything. Yang Dao at this moment was standing in the river stream. He had all the weight on his torso. The chilling water was helping ameliorate his legs.
The boy even ate the food standing. Ayaka nodded to him. Nika, who sat beside her asked, "Coach, why is he standing in the chilling water?"

Ayaka said, "A lot of blood flows in the legs when anyone rides. The chilling water eases the pain coming from the riding." her tone was patient. No one hits a smiling face until they are not bullies, sadists, or insincere smiles.
Nika asked again, "Then why only him?" her question stunned Ayaka and she realized that she overlooked something. The coach said, "Nika, thank you very much." her sincere thanks surprised Nika.
The coach stood up and said, "You guys, all go stand in the river for a bit. That will help you ease some pain in the legs." her tone was harsh. The team quickly took off their shoes and socks and rush to stand in the river.
After ten minutes they all came out. They warmed up their legs slightly and then they all rode the bikes on the road on the track. They spotted a few big trucks loaded with tools and material moving on the roads. Felix asked, "Dao, is this the reconstruction team you talked about a few days ago?"
Yang Dao glanced at the trucks and saw that the people were wearing the uniforms of the Phoenix Group. He nodded as they kept riding. The people moved in streams. The people also noticed the team cycling.
At this moment the labor team was settled in the valley beside the river. The engineers and managers were dividing the work to them and instructing about the cautions to be taken in this place. Ayaka said, "Dao, do you want to check their work?"
Yang Dao was surprised and said, "I will come after I am done riding for sixteen hours." he had no experience with supervising the people in the field so he just decided to delay it. Later on, he will come when everyone is having dinner, and that way he will not be a supervisor but just a visitor.

The team rode till the sunset. When they were returning to the mansion, they passed by the camping site. Yang Dao rode off the road and parked his bike next to a boulder. Then he took off his shoes and stood in the cold river.
A few workers responsible for cooking the meal were also working on the riverside. They all had head covers and gloves on their hands. The engineers in the noon had since Yang Dao and they had asked everyone to inform them if the young master comes by.
One of them quickly moved through the came and after ten minutes he returned with an Engineer. The person did not hurry and stood by the bank to wait for Yang Dao to come back. he saw the boy coming out of the river and he picked up his socks from near his shoes. Then he squatted down and washed his socks in the flowing water.
He asked, "Can I have some firewood? I would like to dry my socks." his calm words made the engineer confused but then he waved to a worker beside him. The worker got the firewood and with the help of a phosphorous stone, he set it alight.
Yang Dao asked the engineer, "Are you people comfortable here? Should I ask Sister, to get you some better campsite?"
The engineer shook his head like a rattle and Asia,d 'Young Master, thank you for the concern but it is fine. Our camping tents are already very good. Please do not worry." his tone was respectful and he was telling the truth. Feng Yun had them use the low-class luxury equipment.
The boy asked, "How long do you think it would take to complete the village?"
The engineer replied, "Young Master, the terrain is being leveled, which may take a few days. Afterward, it will take two weeks to build houses here. We hope that it does not rain." the engineer said.
Yang Dao nodded and fell into thought. The engineer asked, "Young Master, would you like to have dinner with us? If you don't mind?"
The boy smiled and said, "I thought you would never ask me and was about to invite myself." as he chuckled. The boy sat down on the boulder and started to talk to the engineer, soon the other engineers and the laborers also gathered and the atmosphere became merry.
The people never expected Yang Dao to be so humble and down to earth. His behavior made them happy and a few people recorded his video of sitting on a boulder wearing a padded jacket and talking with people around him with a smile on his face.
The laborers named him, Urban hermit. After all, how many rich scions could humble themselves?
