After the master left, the appointment to go to Dream Island was frustrated. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Song Qi's heart has a feeling of emptiness that cannot be explained. It took several days for this sense of loss to subside.

In the morning, they still insisted on chopping wood and carrying water, and in the afternoon, they studied and practiced archery together.

Usually, Song Qi saw that Ling Xue was very bored with these books and scriptures, so he occasionally talked to Ling Xue about some physical and chemical knowledge, but he didn't expect Ling Xue to be very interested.

Song Qi decided to teach Ling Xue what he knew, taking the opportunity to revisit it himself, and at the same time try to make something more practical as much as possible.

In their free time, the two of them made a kite more than a zhang long with waste clothes and cloth on the quilt, plus a few bamboo poles, and added two wings on both sides of the kite that could be flapped. He tried to fly with a man with this kite.

After the kite is flown up, it flies very high and high and floats in the air, which is very beautiful.

"Great!" Looking at the kite flying freely in the sky, Ling Xue clapped her hands and praised, "If only people could fly to the sky, how wonderful it would be!" ”

"If this kite can take people up to the sky, do you dare to go up?" Song Qi asked with a smile.

"What's not to dare?" Ling Xue smiled, her face full of excitement and anticipation.

The thought of flying into the sky like seagulls soon made them both excited. The two people carried the kite, laughed and came to Longwei Mountain, they wanted to take advantage of the height of Longwei Mountain, with a swooping momentum, to fly into the sea with a kite.

Standing on Longwei Mountain and looking down, I saw the rocks below piercing through the air, the waves crashing on the shore, and the surging waves hitting the boulders below the cliff, colliding with the earth-shattering sound, and rising up the snow-like waves in the sky.

"Fly from here, do you dare?" Song Qi looked down at the rocks below the cliff and asked Ling Xue with a side smile.

"If you dare, I dare!" Although Ling Xue's words were very crisp, she obviously lacked confidence.

"Forget it, take off from here, if you don't succeed, you will fall and die!" Song Qi shook his head, then raised his hand to the beach and said, "Let's go to the beach and try it." ”

"Okay!" Ling Xue rode a donkey downhill and hurriedly agreed, "Fly well on the beach." Even if you fall, you won't get hurt. ”

The two laughed and carried the kite to the beach.

The terrain here is gentle, the waves are not urgent, the waves are not high, and there is no danger of falling into the sea, at most your clothes will get wet. At this time, the weather in May and June is just right for surfing and swimming in the sea.

"I'll fly first." Song Qi stuffed the rope into Ling Xue's hand, "You are responsible for pulling the rope." ”

The kite is equipped with three sets of ropes, one tied to the shoulder, one tied to the waist, and one tied to the base of the thighs, which can connect the whole body to the kite very strongly. There is a rope buckle on each wing of the kite that acts as a gripper, and by shaking the arm, the wings can be flapped to puff up the wind like a bird's wings.

The two of them double-checked again, and the tie was properly tied, safe and secure, and there were no problems.

"I'm going to take off!" Song Qi smiled at Ling Xue, then took a dozen steps back, took a deep breath, spread his legs and ran forward, but he didn't run fast, because the big cloth on the kite formed a huge resistance, slowing down the speed of running, and it didn't take long to reach the water.

Song Qi had to stop his steps, shook his head, took fifty or sixty steps back, and ran again, but still didn't fly.

"Brother Song, you have to jump up to get off the ground!" Ling Xue reminded loudly from behind.

"Yes, how did I forget about it!" Song Qi scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Don't worry! Hopefully this time I can fly! Ling Xue encouraged loudly.

"I'm sure I'll be able to fly this time!" Song Qi replied loudly as he took a hundred steps back.

He looked at the seagulls flying freely on the rough sea, took a deep breath, and exclaimed: "The good wind will send me to the clouds with its strength!" ”

Then he dragged the kite to the surface of the sea, and when he had run eighty or ninety paces, he flicked his legs the ground, and jumped, not very high, but at last he got off the ground.

"Fly, fly!" Ling Xue shouted loudly in the back, dancing with her hands, extremely excited.

I saw the kite sticking to the surface of the sea, swaying and twisting, and flew less than ten paces away, and then it was heavily planted in the sea.

Song Qi fell into the sea, choked on a mouthful of seawater, and coughed loudly.

"Brother Song, are you okay?" Ling Xue hurriedly rolled up her trouser legs, ran into the sea, helped Song Qi up, and then helped him untie the rope on the kite and pulled Song Qi ashore.

Song Qi's whole body was wet, and the sea water flowed from his hair to his face and body, looking extremely embarrassed. He looked at the kite floating on the sea, wiped the water on his head and face, and said in frustration: "I'm fine! It's just that the kite is wet, and I can't try again for a while. ”

"Don't be sad!" Ling Xue helped Song Qi wipe the water while comforting: "I didn't expect kites to be able to carry people to fly. ”

This experiment with a manned flight of a kite ended in failure.

Later, they made a hot air balloon together.

They found a lot of unwanted clothes, bed sheets, and quilt covers, sewed the cloth together piece by piece, and made a cloth ball with a diameter of more than two meters after being stretched out. He tied it with a rope and tied an iron bucket at the lower end of the cloth ball, which contained twenty or thirty catties of oil, and a torch tied with a cotton ball was placed in the tung oil.

The two of them pulled the cloth ball, lit the torch, and the cloth ball bulged with a bang, and the more it drummed, it became more and more round, and slowly rose upward, leaving the ground and rising in the air.

Ling Xue looked up at the cloth balls floating in the sky, cheered, jumped, and clapped her hands: "Fly!" Great, wonderful! "Something like this was unheard of and unseen for her.

"Do you want to pull this hot air balloon into the air?" Song Qi asked with a smile.

Without thinking, Ling Xue blurted out: "Yes!" ”

"Come on! You're pulling this rope! Song Qi stuffed a piece of rope into Ling Xue's hand and advised, "Don't pull it tight!" ”

"No problem!" Ling Xue said with a smile.

Ling Xue grabbed the rope with both hands, her feet slowly hanging in the air, and the hot air balloon could actually lift Ling Xue up.

Song Qi looked at Ling Xue dangling under the hot air balloon and asked loudly, "Are you ready?" I'm going to put the rope down! ”

Ling Xue thought it was funny, let out a pleasant laugh like a silver bell, and said with a smile: "I'm ready!" You put it! ”

Song Qi released the rope meter by meter, and the hot air balloon was also raised meter by meter.

"I'm flying! Yes! Ling Xue shouted loudly in the air, "It's amazing! It's wonderful! ”

The hot air balloon had risen to a height of more than twenty meters, and Ling Xue, who had never left the ground, began her first flight in her life. Although it can't fly and glide freely like a bird, it leaves the ground and rises high in the sky! For her, it was an experience that had never been experienced before, and it was indescribably wonderful.

"Brother Song, you are amazing!" Ling Xue looked down at Song Qi in the air and praised loudly, this is the voice from her heart, she has completely risen from admiration to admiration for Song Qi, from liking to admiration.

"Nothing remarkable!" Song Qi responded loudly on the ground, "If you want to say it, both of us are amazing!" This hot air balloon isn't my work alone, it's the two of us working together, aren't we? ”

"That's right! It's all together that we do it. I'm amazing too! Ha ha... Ling Xue smiled happily, shouted loudly at the sea and the mountains: "The good wind will send me to the green clouds with its strength!" ”

Ling Xue had a very happy and excited day. The same is true for Song Qi.

Because the hot air balloon can only drift up and down, can not control the direction, after playing two or three times, the initial excitement has passed, and it is slowly not interested, together with the kite, resting on Longwei Mountain, ignoring it.

On this day, Ling Xue took Song Qi into their family's weapons room and asked him to choose a weapon to take advantage of. As soon as he stepped into the door, Song Qi was taken aback, only to see that there were eighteen kinds of weapons inside, and there were a variety of them, as if this was not the house of a hermit in the mountains, but the arsenal of a general.

He walked around the armory room slowly, looking around for a suitable weapon.

At this time, his eyes were drawn to the several crossbows that landed at the foot of the wall.

He walked straight over and picked up a crossbow from the bow stand and examined it carefully. This crossbow is made of tungsten steel, black and translucent, and mighty. Song Qi pulled the crossbow string, full of tension, and popped out with a bang. If you pull hard, you can also pull the crossbow string to the fullest, and pull it on the trigger to fix it, so you don't need to exert effort when triggering but not firing.

Song Qi seemed to have some tacit understanding with this bow and crossbow, and refused to put it down when he took it.

"Brother Song, do you like this crossbow?" Ling Xue picked up a sword from the weapon rack and walked over with a smile.

Song Qi raised the crossbow with full strings, looked at Ling Xue with his eyes, and smiled happily: "Yes! This crossbow doesn't use much energy, just right for me right now! ”

"Okay, then you'll use that crossbow first!" Ling Xue nodded with a smile.

The two of them left the armory room together and returned to the archery range. Song Qi clamped an arrow on the crossbow, then held the crossbow in one hand, aimed it at the arrow target, and slowly pulled the trigger.

With a "snap" sound, the crossbow arrows flew out and went straight to the target. Finally, it landed less than one step away from the target.

The results are amazing! He Song Qi actually shot a hundred steps away, and the first arrow was impartial, although he didn't hit the target, but it was not far from the target, and he would be able to shoot it if he adjusted it a little. I remembered that the first time I shot an arrow with a bow, I only shot a dozen paces away, and I leaned too much. The difference between a bow and a crossbow is just too great.

Song Qi was so strange that he couldn't help but ask Ling Xue: "The crossbow is so easy to learn and use, why are there so many people who use the crossbow as well as the bow?" ”

"Although the crossbow is easy to learn and use, it is too slow to add arrows and is not suitable for combat. The bow is different and allows for quick arrow changes. Ling Xue said, pulling the bowstring and releasing an arrow at the target, hitting the bull's-eye, the arrow just shot out, and in just a breath, another arrow was put on her bowstring. When he took the arrow, Ling Xue was looking at Song Qi with his eyes, and he didn't look at the arrow at all.

Song Qi listened to it and tried to add an arrow to the crossbow, which was indeed not easy. Because the arrow needs to be clamped in a small crossbow groove, it must be held with an eye to clamp it, otherwise it may not be in place.

"You see the difference now." Ling Xue raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "The opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, time is life. It takes too much time to use a crossbow to pinch arrows, and that's a waste of life! ”

Song Qi looked down at the jet-black crossbow in his hand, stared and pondered, and said to himself: "Why is this happening? How to overcome the shortcomings of the crossbow? How can I speed up the crossbow bolt? ”

Ling Xue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Song Qi holding the crossbow in a daze, "Brother Song, are you enchanted?" ”
