Paper kites need an open place, the most suitable for the suburbs, although the chime garden is large, there are occasional open spaces, but there are also big trees around, everyone finally found a slightly larger green space near the garden.

After a while, the girls brought nine paper kites, the Shen sisters all have their own special ones, Shen Jing gave his three paper kites from the old year to Su Yun and the Wang sisters, and the other paper kites were taken by the girls from the warehouse, all of which were exquisite.

But the most delicate nature is still Shen Jing's one, originally it was no different, the big deal is that this bat is a little more delicate and gorgeous than others, but when it is really released, the skeleton of this paper kite is light, the structure is good, and it is the first to be put up smoothly and fly the highest. But that's not special.

What's special is that when the bat paper kite flies into the sky and drinks the wind, five cute little bats come out of the abdominal bone, becoming a "Five Blessings and Longevity", which is really ingenious.

The crowd applauded.

Shen Wei said proudly: "Of course, the old man Zhang of Xiao Erzhang did it himself." ”

Xiao Erzhang's paper kite is also a legend, saying that the old man Zhang was a restaurant at the beginning, and his hobby was to make paper kites, and later after being resigned by the restaurant owner, he simply concentrated on making paper kites, and now it has become a unique faction, and the "Pai Lou" in the south and the "Yansha" in the northwest are equally famous.

However, since the old man Zhang was sixty, he has almost stopped making paper kites, this "Five Blessings and Longevity" is really rare, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy, no wonder Shen Wei is proud.

Shen Cui was so jealous that she hated that she was not Shen Che's own sister, and Wang Siniang's sisters were all yearning.

It's just that once people are proud, it is easy to go wrong, several paper kites in the sky, must avoid each other, so as not to twist the thread, and then have to twist the thread to let the paper kite fly away, other paper kites are just that, the five blessings of the paper kite can not be lost.

It is because Shen Wei has always been very careful, but unfortunately the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, although it is not entangled with other paper kites, but when the Wufu Longevity falls under the receiving line, it is blown by the wind and hangs on a century-old tree not far away.

If it were another tree, it would be fine, just ask someone to cut it down, but this hundred-year-old tree can also be regarded as a thing in the town garden of Qiyuan, and Shen Wei can't move it.

"What to do, what to do?" Shen Wei was so anxious that she was about to cry.

The paper kite hung on the treetops, five or six feet from the ground, and the trunk was bare, so it was difficult to reach even if you climbed the tree.

"Don't worry, ask the little guy to move the ladder, and if it doesn't work, let them stack the ladder." Shen Qian comforted.

It's just that the trunk of the tree is too high, and the ladder can't reach it, and when you stack the ladder, five or six people start to twist and twist, and you can't use your strength at all.

Shen Wei was so anxious that he stomped his feet below, seeing that the sky suddenly darkened again, he was afraid that it would rain soon, and it would be terrible.

"What to do? The second brother knew that he would definitely train me to death, and he would never give me these things again in the future. Shen Wei began to shed tears. But even this didn't make Shen Wei cry in a hurry, only she knew that where this paper kite was given by her second brother, she simply stole it while her second brother was away.

"I'll try." Ji Cheng stepped forward.

Shen Wei looked at Ji Cheng with tears in his eyes, "You can climb trees?" ”

This is obviously not a problem that can be solved by climbing trees, the paper kite hangs on the tip of the fragile branch, and it can't bear the weight of a person at all, just now a little guy fell from the tree, and I don't know how injured it is.

"I can only try." Ji Cheng didn't dare to pack the ticket, after all, the paper kite was hanging too high, so she asked the little girl to go to her house to find Yu Qian'er and fetch her usual slingshot and iron marble.

In the years when Shen Wei and these girls were chanting poems and paintings, stepping on the moon and appreciating flowers, Ji Cheng was riding horses, archery, and playing slingshots most of the time.

After the slingshot was retrieved, Shen Wei was simply looking at Ji Cheng with the eyes of a life-saving bodhisattva, Ji Cheng was a little trembling when she saw it, she tried an iron bullet first, but she couldn't reach the branch at all.

Shen Wei turned from holding his breath of hope to great disappointment.

Ji Cheng didn't give up, she walked back and forth under the tree for a few steps, closed her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking, and when she opened her eyes again, she chose a place to stand, tied the purse containing the iron marble to her waist, rolled up her sleeves to reveal a dazzling white arm, only to hear a "boom", the iron marble shot out like a meteor, and soon it was almost impossible to distinguish the succession that everyone could hear a "boom" at the same time, then another sound, and finally another sound.

Shen Wei and the others didn't see it clearly at all, but they saw that the iron bullet hit the small branch with the paper kite hanging on it, and the branch broke in response, and the paper kite also fell.

The little guy who was waiting down hurriedly went up and took it.

And at the same time as the branch "clicked" and broke, a cheer came from behind Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng and everyone turned around together, but saw a strange man standing not far away.

Shen Qian had already shouted, "Big brother." ”

It turned out that the person wearing a dark green robe with green ground curly grass pattern and green bamboo pattern was the uncle of the Shen family, the eldest son of the second room, Shen Yu.

Ji Cheng had heard of this person a long time ago, when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he followed his father Shen Er to make contributions in the northwest, and now he is a four-rank loyal general, and now he is serving in the Beijing camp, and he is in a high position at a young age, no wonder he can raise such a coercive momentum, so that people can only look up to him when they look at him.

The people of the Shen family are all born well, and this Shen Yu is also very handsome, but because he looks too cold and hard, it makes people ignore his own handsomeness.

Ji Cheng looked at it for the first time, and felt more and more that the second room of the Shen family would probably be the most promising branch of the Shen family in the future. And this Shen Yu is only twenty-five this year, and he once married his wife Zhou, who died in childbirth the year before last, leaving a son-in-law, who is now raised by the side of the second lady Huang.

A trace of unrealistic thought flashed in Ji Cheng's mind in an instant, but then it was annihilated, and even if it was to fill the house, I am afraid it would not be her turn.

Shen Yu responded, and his eyes swept to Ji Cheng again, "This girl is so accurate." "Three bullets in a row, the second one hits the first one and sends the force, the third hits the second one again, and sends it up to hit the first one again. It's not all about skill, it's all about the brain, and the strength of each bullet has to be different, so that the third can catch up with the second, and you can send force to the first until you break the branch.

Even Shen Yu himself had to admit that he might not be able to do this. Because of this, he took the initiative to come forward and talk to Ji Cheng.

The three sisters of the Shen family all looked at Ji Cheng dumbfounded, although they were surprised by Ji Cheng's skills before, but the layman looked at the excitement, and he didn't know how powerful it was, at this time Ji Cheng was able to attract Shen Yu to take the initiative to talk to her, and the three sisters of the Shen family were called "God" in everyone's hearts.

You must know what kind of person Shen Yu is, he is as cold as an ice cube, and he doesn't even take the initiative to speak to his second wife, let alone other women, even Shen Qian, a sister-in-law, doesn't have this kind of treatment.

Ji Cheng's face couldn't help but turn crimson, and he lowered his head and half-lowered his eyes without answering.

Shen Yu looked at the eyelashes that fluttered slightly like a butterfly's wings, and then realized his gaffe, all his attention just now was attracted by Ji Cheng's exquisite skills and the slingshot in his hand, and when he looked at it again, he couldn't see Ji Cheng's appearance anymore, he only felt that her skin was dazzlingly white, and he quickly removed his eyes.

Shen Qian took a step forward and said, "Big brother, this is the third aunt's maiden niece, Sister Cheng." ”

"It turned out to be Cousin Cheng." Shen Yu bowed slightly, his sister's words were not too rude for him to be so abrupt just now.

"Ah Cheng, this is my eldest brother, you have been here for so long, haven't you seen it?" Shen Qian introduced Shen Yu to Ji Cheng again.

Ji Cheng blessed Shen Yu, "Big cousin." ”

A tube of sound is like an ice spring soaked in pearls, like spring water blowing flowers, Shen Yu's heart sank when he heard it, he didn't like this kind of sound the most, he couldn't speak well, he had to pinch his tone.

However, Shen Yu's face was icy all the year round, and everyone couldn't see his displeasure, he raised his legs and wanted to leave, but he couldn't help but say: "My cousin's slingshot may borrow me to take a look?" ”

Ji Cheng naturally couldn't say no, and reached out and handed over the slingshot.

Shen Yu checked the slingshot, there was nothing special, but it was made of fine wood with a hard texture and elasticity, and the tendons were beef tendons that had been soaked in potions all year round, although they were rare, they were nothing special.

At first, Shen Yu thought that Ji Cheng had the hand to shoot the iron bullet so high because there was some mechanism in the slingshot. Now it seems that it should be the result of this cousin's exquisite calculations and the good use of wrist strength and arm strength. This kind of kung fu is really rare, if it is a man in the barracks, he must make a difference.

Shen Yu handed the slingshot back after seeing it, nodded without speaking, and left.

As soon as Shen Yu left, several girls surrounded him.

Su Yun asked, "Sister Cheng, you are really amazing, where did you practice this skill?" Even the eldest cousin was amazed. ”

Ji Cheng smiled: "When I was a child, I learned from my brothers at home. At that time, the Ji family did not have the financial resources it has now, her father was busy with business and was not at home all the year round, and her mother was a cowardly person who didn't care about anything, Ji Cheng had been following her second brother out into the wilderness, like a boy.

Later, when Ji Cheng grew up, he couldn't go out with his second brother, and he went back and forth with the girls from Jindi, and also played paper kites, slingshots, and the like. She has a butterfly paper kite that her father brought back from the south, Ji Cheng likes it very much, and after hanging it in the treetops, she is as anxious as Shen Wei today.

The kung fu of the slingshot was practiced during that period of time to release paper kites, and practice makes perfect after coming and going.

Sister Wang Siniang slowly collected the thread of the paper kite on the side, only to hear Wang Yueniang say in a voice that is neither high nor low: "Where did you learn the skills of a rough man, what is commendable?" ”

Shen Wei was originally friendly with the sisters of the Wang family, but she was a little unhappy when she heard Wang Yueniang's words at this time, after all, Ji Cheng had just helped her, "What kind of rough person is not the skill of a rough person?" What can help people is good skills. ”

Wang Yueniang was afraid of Shen Jing's identity, and she was Shen Che's sister, so she was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she didn't speak anymore.

Wang Siniang said with a smile: "Sister Ying, since the paper kite has been brought back, let's go around the garden, don't let down the spring." ”

The Shen sisters are the masters, so naturally they want to make the guests happy, and they start to visit the garden again.
