Chapter 11 Riding the Wind

Dapeng rose with the wind one day and soared up to 90,000 miles. -------Tang Dynasty. Li Bai "On Li Yong"

The jungle is forested, the mountains are reckless, Chen Long and Peach Blossom support each other, going higher and higher. Chen Long deliberately tied the gaiters for the peach blossoms, and inserted the green dragon dagger into the peach blossoms' leggings in case of accidents. Fortunately, Peach Blossom has a little bit of a light foundation, and several times I have encountered wild snakes, insects, tigers and leopards, and there is no danger. Suddenly, the jungle gradually thinned, and I actually walked out of the jungle, and looked up to see a peak rising abruptly, towering like a cloud, with sparse plants and strange rocks. There is no shelter around, and the majestic peak is more abrupt, and it is difficult to fly birds.

Chen Long sharpened two wooden sticks to use as a hiking stick, and pulled Zhang to a place that seemed to be easy to walk. However, the mountain is extremely wide, and after going around for a long time, it is still at the foot of that peak, and I can only climb it upwards. The wind is getting stronger and colder, and even some alpine animals are not visible. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chen Long had no choice but to find a leeward boulder, tore off the tarpaulin, set up a simple shack, talked about the wind and cold, lit a small fire, and spent the night in a disorderly manner. This night, the two hugged each other tightly to keep each other warm, and several times the strong wind almost tore over the shack, thanks to the two gossiping with each other, they finally stayed up until the next morning.

Drill out of the shack, only to see the sky is clear, a green ocean at the foot of the mountain, the sun is still blocked by the mountain, the clouds at the top of the mountain peak are golden, sure enough, the weather is thousands, a good mountain scene. Chen Long put away the tarpaulin, rolled it up and put it in his backpack, carefully searched for the location of the mountain pass, and pulled Zhang to continue to climb up. As the altitude got higher and higher, the temperature became lower and lower, especially the strong wind that swept up from the mountain, and the mist that rolled up the clouds hit the two of them and carried the heat away. Chen Long saw that the peach blossom's face was getting whiter and whiter, so he took off his robe and wrapped it around the peach blossom, and with his luck and internal strength, he carried the peach blossom step by step and climbed upward. The peach blossoms couldn't withstand the strong wind, and they were almost blown out, Chen Long desperately dragged the peach blossoms' waist, half-pulled and half-hugged the peach blossoms by his side, and finally the two arrived at the predetermined mountain pass.

The wind in the mountain pass became more and more fierce, and the two of them lay on the mountain pass and looked east, only to see that the mountains were reckless, full of mountains, but the mountains on the opposite side seemed to be shorter, Chen Long said: "As long as we are in the right direction, we will definitely be able to get out of these mountains." The two encouraged each other and began to walk downhill. The downhill road became more and more difficult, but fortunately, the sun was abundant and warm, and the two of them stood on crutches, lifting their breath and lightening their bodies, walking in one vertical and three leaps, and the speed was much faster.

Finally arrived at the edge of the jungle in Shanyang, both of them stopped to catch their breath, and Taohuajiao gasped: "Great, Brother Chen, we have crossed this mountain." Chen Long smiled in return and praised the peach blossoms for their good muscles. After using some dry food, the two of them lifted their spirits again, and continued to walk through the jungle down the mountain, walking, and suddenly an animal came out of the woods, and the two hurriedly guarded, and looked closely at it was a black and white giant panda. The giant panda looked very cute, opened its black and white eyes and suddenly saw Chen Long and Peach Blossom, thinking that he had never seen a human being, so frightened that he stood up and leaned against a tree, obviously very frightened. Long Chen and Peach Blossom were amused by the laughter, and the panda slipped into the woods beside them and disappeared.

Chen Long said with a smile: "It seems that there is already a bamboo forest at this height. Peach Blossom didn't know that pandas eat bamboo, so she asked curiously for a long time, and when she heard that the giant panda was actually a national treasure, she actually asked: "Is panda meat delicious?" Chen Long was dumbfounded, scared Peach Blossom and said: "Eating panda meat is to kill your head." Frightened, Peach Blossom clutched her chest and stopped talking.

After walking a short distance, the woods suddenly disappeared, a deep ravine between the two mountains, between the two mountains, the bottom of the ravine is not visible, the sound of the roaring stream is faintly heard, thousands of zhang away on the opposite side, is the cliff bank, it is a moat. The two stood on the edge of the ravine, at a loss for a while. Chen Long knotted several long ropes together, tied one end tightly on a big tree, and told Peach Blossom to wait patiently and slowly go down. The long rope was knotted together for thousands of zhang, along the cliff wall until it passed through the cloud and mist layer in the moat, Chen Long was like an ant, swimming along the rope on the big mountain wall, and finally reached the end of the long rope, only to hear the sound of the mountain stream under his feet much clearer, but he couldn't see the bottom of the stream, kicked a piece of mountain rock down, and pounced for a long time. Chen Long knew that it was impossible to cross the valley from the bottom, so he had to follow the rope back to the cliff face.

As soon as he climbed the cliff, he found that the peach blossom was gone, and he couldn't help but be shocked, so he couldn't care about packing up the rope, grabbed the hunting bow and bamboo arrows and went straight to the jungle, and shouted loudly: "Peach blossom, peach blossom!" Where are you? ”

I only heard the voice of the peach blossom in the distance: "Wenlong! Come here, the monster is here again! Chen Long thought to himself what kind of monster, a few jumped closer to Peach Blossom, and saw each other a giant panda slowly climbing up from under the tree, Peach Blossom was squatting on the tree with a frightened face and holding a green dragon dagger. Chen Long couldn't help laughing, and said to Peach Blossom in a loud voice: "He's looking for you to play, he likes you!" As he spoke, he had reached the bottom of the tree, and the panda suddenly saw this big man coming, and he didn't dare to come down, so he froze in the middle of the tree and was very embarrassed. Chen Long smiled and touched its head, and said National treasure, don't panic, I picked up my daughter-in-law and left. At this time, Peach Blossom had already jumped down from the tree, and Chen Long caught it in his arms, took Peach Blossom's little hand, and let him touch the panda's head. Peach Blossom pretended to have the courage to touch the fluff on the panda's forehead, and the panda actually licked Peach Blossom's little hand meekly. Peach Blossom was overjoyed and shouted at the panda: "Panda Panda, we won't hurt you, you can go." The panda slowly climbed down the tree, twisted towards the bushes, and when he got to the bushes, he looked back, as if saying goodbye, and turned his head and disappeared behind the bushes.

As the sky gradually darkened, Long Chen told Peach Blossom about the situation of going down to explore, and Peach Blossom asked worriedly, "Wenlong, do we have to take a detour?" Chen Long said: "Detour? I don't know how far to go around. After thinking about it, he pulled the peach blossom to the edge of the cliff to continue to observe, and put away the long rope. With a thought in his mind, he remembered the javelin of the Olympic Games in the future, tied a wooden stick to the end of the long rope, opened a distance to help him run, held the wooden stick tightly in the palm of his hand, ran to the edge of the cliff and shouted: "Go!" The stick flew off to the other side, and flew with a long rope into the void between the shores.

The wooden stick flew like a fly, stabbing straight at the cliff wall on the opposite bank, and hit the cliff wall on the opposite bank with a pop, but unfortunately it was already the end of the strong crossbow, and it could not penetrate deeply into the stone wall, and fell into the deep stream. Chen Long tried several times, and wanted to hang the wooden stick on the big tree on the opposite bank, but unfortunately it was too difficult, and every time it was a failure, and the long rope could not withstand the force, let alone climb over the moat from the long rope. It was already dark and there was no other shore in sight, so Chen Long had no choice but to put away the long rope, set up a simple tent under the big tree, and made a peach blossom fire to make dinner.

Peach Blossom took some water with a copper basin helmet and boiled soup on the fire. After a while, the aroma overflowed, and it turned out to be a stewed pheasant. The pheasant tasted very beautiful, and the peach blossoms were brought to Chen Long, who frowned and pondered while drinking. Peach Blossom saw that Chen Long was depressed and wanted to say some gossip to relieve Chen Long, but Chen Long was absent-minded, and went back to sleep in the shack after drinking the soup.

Peach Blossom knew that Long Chen was worried because he couldn't think of a way, so he followed up with the shack and hugged Long Chen and comforted: "Wenlong, there will definitely be a way tomorrow." Chen Long lay on the ground and hugged the peach blossoms tightly, staring at the roof of the shed, only to see the mountain breeze blowing, blowing the oilcloth on the top of the shack up and down, and couldn't help but gradually close his eyes. Suddenly, Long Chen turned over and got up, Peach Blossom was startled, and sat up, only to see Long Chen's eyes wide open, staring at the roof of the shed in a daze. Peach Blossom didn't know what was wrong with Long Chen, and she also stared at the roof of the shed, but she didn't see anything unusual, afraid that Long Chen had some magic obstacles, so she hurriedly patted Long Chen's heart and comforted her. Chen Long came back to his senses, happily hugged Peach Blossom and said, "Peach Blossom, I have thought of a way, let's fly over!" After speaking, he pulled out the green dragon dagger from the peach blossom leggings, got up and walked out of the shack.

The peach blossoms followed out of the shack, still confused, this bird difficulty of the moat, we actually wanted... Fly over? I saw Chen Long pick up some branches, cut something next to the fire, and squatted silently beside Chen Long, watching him fiddle with those branches. Chen Long happily said to Peach Blossom: "Peach Blossom, I want to make a delta wing." ”

It turned out that Chen Long remembered the delta wing he had practiced in later generations. Isn't that flickering oilcloth roof the wings of a delta wing? What Chen Long needs to do is to build a delta wing shelf. Chen Longxing punched a bunch of long and short sticks, and Peach Blossom also roughly understood Chen Long's train of thought, although she was shocked in her heart, as long as it was Chen Long's decision, she naturally had no opinion. Chen Long cut a few more short ropes, firmly tied the bracket, laughed and hugged the peach blossoms into the shack, just waiting for tomorrow dawn, dismantling the shack to make wings, with his own skills, he will definitely be able to successfully fly over the moat. This night, with the peach blossoms in my arms, I slept very sweetly.

Early the next morning, Peach Blossom just woke up from a dream, and couldn't see Ailang, so he quickly cleaned up and got out of the shack, only to see that on the edge of the cliff, Chen Long's tall and sturdy figure was holding the bracket of the delta wing, standing silently on the edge of the cliff, turning to Ailang, but saw Chen Long with tears in his eyes. Peach Blossom was shocked and asked, "Why is Wenlong sad?" Chen Long was silent, and suddenly raised his hand, and with a sudden sound, the scaffold flew into the cliff and fell. Peach Blossom was so shocked that she sighed, and said continuously: "Wenlong, isn't that the bracket of the delta wing, you did it so late last night, why did you abandon it?" ”

Chen Long grimaced, hugged Peach Blossom's shoulders and said, "I ignored it last night, these wooden sticks are too heavy to be used as skeletons." If we take this to make a delta wing, and add the weight of the two of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to fly a few feet before we fall. After speaking, he turned around and walked to the shack, and shouted loudly and depressedly: "We... We need to think about it all over again! ”

Seeing that Chen Long was unhappy, Peach Blossom helped Chen Long remove the oilcloth on the roof of the shed, while thinking about what to say something happy, thinking of yesterday's panda, and couldn't help but talk about how cute the panda was, making Chen Long happy. Just as he was talking about the panda, suddenly Chen Long came over, kissed Peach Blossom heavily, and danced with his eyebrows: "Peach Blossom, you are really my goddess of luck!" "Saying that, tell Peach Blossom not to clean up, bring a hunting bow and a green dragon dagger, and go to find the giant panda. Peach Blossom was dumbfounded, thinking to herself what to do with the giant panda, did the panda know the way to the past? As he walked, Chen Long explained: "Giant pandas feed on tender bamboo, which is hollow and much lighter than a wooden stick, which is just right for the skeleton of a delta wing." Peach Blossom came to his senses, and Xi Zizi and Long Chen set off to find the giant panda.

Soon, the two came to a bamboo sea, only to see the morning sun shining on the emerald green bamboo sea, and the bamboo forest turned into a golden sea. The mist rises gently and delicately, and the verdant bamboo forest is like a light veil, like a green crane dancing. Walking into the forest, the sunlight is sprinkled through the cracks in the bamboo leaves, and the fragrance of the bamboo wafts from the darkness, adding to the sense of winding paths. The two slowly went deeper, only to see that the bamboos were very thick, and there were occasionally a few thin bamboos, but they lacked toughness, and they were not suitable for the skeleton of the delta wing. The two of them couldn't find the tender bamboo, and the peach blossom held her hands in the shape of a trumpet, shouting: "Panda, panda, where are you!" Chen Long saw the cute appearance of the peach blossoms, he smiled and hugged the peach blossoms, and suddenly looked at the bamboo forest behind him dumbfounded.

Peach Blossom turned her head and saw that the giant panda had really come out, so she jumped over and patted the panda's big head, commanding: "Panda Panda, take us to your place to eat!" The panda really turned away, and Peach Blossom pulled Chen Long, who had a black line on his face, to follow him up and down, and after a while, he found a piece of tender bamboo. The panda lazily burrowed into the tender bamboo forest to find his beloved bamboo.

Chen Long picked and chose among the tender bamboos, picked a lot of flexible and slender bamboos, and carried them back to the edge of the cliff. The bamboos were very lightweight, and Chen Long was familiar with them, and soon he set up the skeleton of the delta wing and tied it firmly with a short rope. He cut the tarpaulin according to the length of his wings, attached it to the skeleton, punched it with a green dragon dagger, and tied it firmly to the skeleton. After a while, a complete delta wing was made, and Chen Long and Peach Blossom surrounded the delta wing, clapping their hands and shouting excitedly like children, looking forward to flying over this moat today.

Chen Long rummaged through the backpack, muttering that this is too heavy and that is too heavy, and finally simply skimmed the backpack and said to Taohua: "These ropes and hunting bows, I don't want them, they are too heavy." You don't need those copper basins and wooden mallets, you can prepare some dry food, bring a green dragon dagger, and I will cut a piece of rope to tie us together. Worriedly, he raised his delta wings with one hand, and tested the strength of the wings in the wind, faintly worried about whether the skeleton and oilcloth wings could bear the weight of a double person.

Suddenly, I heard the voice of the peach blossom behind me floating slightly: "Brother Chen, I am already satisfied that I can fly with you for so many days in this life." You bring more belongings, I hope that Ai Lang can leap safely, in this life you can't wait for Ai Lang to Bai Tou, and in the next life, I hope to be able to reunite with Ai Lang. Chen Long was shocked when he heard this, and looked back suddenly, only to see a white shadow flashing, and the peach blossoms jumped down from the ten thousand feet high cliff.

Chen Long was already stunned, his heart instantly flowed backwards like blood, and he understood that Peach Blossom knew that the delta wing might be difficult to bear, and he wanted to let himself fly alone, and he knew that he would definitely not want to, only by sacrificing himself and breaking his thoughts could he exchange for his safe fit. Chen Long didn't have time to think about it, he held the delta wing in his hand, rushed to the edge of the cliff, jumped up, kicked his feet on the cliffside stone in reverse, and his body was already chasing the white shadow like a cannonball.

Chen Long held the delta wing in the direction of the fall, trying not to let it hinder him from going down, and the foot he kicked out of the cliff used light internal force, which increased the force of the descent, and it really allowed Chen Long to catch up with the peach blossoms in white clothes. Approaching, Chen Long grabbed the waist of the peach blossom, the delta wing in his right hand was horizontal, the oil cloth grabbed the mountain wind, and the two people who fell crazy only felt that the speed suddenly decreased sharply, and the peach blossom opened his eyes and saw that he was actually in Ailang's arms, and couldn't help but suspect that it was goodbye in a dream, and his small mouth slowly opened and said: "Ailang... ”

Chen Long was already in tears, and he almost never saw the peach blossoms again, how could he be embarrassed in this life! Watching his beloved wake up in his arms, Long Chen choked with tears and said, "Peach Blossom, you are so stupid... ”

Holding the peach blossom to adjust his posture, the delta wing held the mountain breeze and slowly rowed towards the opposite bank. Looking down, the valley is endlessly beautiful, and the delta wings seem to have stopped in the air, suspended between the beautiful valleys. Peach Blossom was no longer afraid, and slowly opened her arms, letting Airo hug her body tightly, closing her eyes and enjoying the wonderful bird-like feeling. Chen Long saw that the peach blossoms were intoxicated in this nature, and remembered the thrill just now, and a cold sweat broke out on his body.

Suddenly, the scenery on the opposite bank became infinitely clear, because he had just fallen on the edge of the cliff, Chen Long had to desperately control the delta wing to rise before he could reach the opposite cliff bank. However, seeing that the cliff bank on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, it was impossible to climb any longer, the black mountain wall was like a black hole attracting stars, and the delta wings crashed into the big mountain wall at high speed, and Chen Long shouted: "My life is over!" "Grab the peach blossoms, want to die and die together, seeing that the peach blossoms have no fear, they can't help but feel calm like water, the lips of the two lightly touch together, close their eyes and wait for death.

Seeing that the delta wing was about to hit the mountain wall, suddenly a gust of wind swept up from the foot of the mountain, and the delta wing raised its head upward, this time against the wind, Chen Long firmly grasped the peach blossom, and the other hand controlled the delta wing to rise as smoothly as possible. In the blink of an eye, the mountain wind sent the delta wing straight into the air, instantly surpassing the cliff bank, Chen Long was overjoyed, controlled the delta wing, and slowly fell in a clearing on the edge of the cliff on the opposite bank. Peach Blossom and Chen Long hugged each other tightly, knelt on the edge of the cliff and prayed together, thanking the mountain for having a spirit, and the two of them really flew over alive.
