Chapter 233: Forced Landing

Zhao Yan never expected that God would be so faceless, and the west wind blew for several days in a row, but the wind direction changed soon after they took off, at first it was a chaotic wind, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and finally the wind direction finally stabilized, but there was no reference in the vast dark night, and Zhao Yan and they didn't know which direction they were drifting in now? What's worse is that Zhou Tong and the other hot air balloon they were riding don't know where it was blown to, and now they can't find it at all.

"Which of you knows how to look at the heavens and discern directions?" Zhao Yan grabbed the edge of the hanging basket with both hands, and shouted at Su Shi and Yelusi, now the wind in the air is very strong, and the sound will be blown away as soon as it comes out, even if you are talking in the hanging basket, you have to roar with the loudest voice.

"I know, it's summer, and the handle of the Big Dipper should be pointing south, but this air bag above our heads is too big to block the Big Dipper, so I don't know which direction we're flying in now!" At this time, Yelus shouted in a sharp voice, with the bump of the hot air balloon in the wind, she was now also frightened and her face turned pale, and she even had a feeling of wanting to vomit, and her brain was even more dizzy, as if she might faint at any time.

"I also know a little bit about the celestial phases, but as the princess said, this air bag on the top of the head is too big to block most of the stars, plus there is no moon today, so it is difficult to judge the direction, but I estimate that it is very likely to be in the north or northeast direction." Su Shi also shouted loudly at this time, he knew more about the celestial phase than Yelusi, who only knew how to look at the Big Dipper, but unfortunately because he couldn't see too many stars. Therefore, there is no way to judge, only to guess the general direction.

"Shangjing City is in the north of the Luanhe Palace, if we pass by the top of Shangjing, we should be able to see the lights below, according to our degree, we should have already passed Shangjing, but until now we have not seen the shadow of Shangjing, so if Brother Zizhan did not judge the wrong direction, we should move to the northeast." Zhao Yan opened his mouth to analyze at this time, but his analysis was based on Su Shi's judgment of the direction was not wrong. Therefore, it can only be used as a reference.

"If you float northeast. It is estimated that we have entered the territory of Huanglongfu, and the west of here is mostly grassland, so we can land, but further east. You will go into the mountains. That's not good. "Although Jeruth doesn't go out of the palace much. But after all, she is the princess of Liao, and she is still very clear about the terrain of Liao.

"King of the County, shall we try to force a landing?" At this time, Su Shi suddenly opened his mouth and said. He always felt that he didn't feel safe floating in the sky like this, and the ghost knew where they would be sent by the wind, so it was better to risk falling to the ground.

"No, it's so dark now, not only can't we see the ground clearly, but we don't even know our own height, plus the wind is so strong, if we land rashly, God knows what danger we will encounter, so it's better to wait, it's best to be able to encounter a city or village, there is a fire guide below, and it will be much safer to land then." Zhao Yan didn't agree with Su Shi's suggestion, originally they were operating a hot air balloon for the first time, and they had no experience at all, and it was not easy to be able to lift off smoothly, as for landing in the dark, Zhao Yan didn't have any confidence at all, and he didn't want to put his life on unreliable luck.

"It's a pity that we don't have enough fuel, otherwise we can wait until dawn to find a place to land." Yelusi said loudly with some regret at this time, the space for the hanging basket was not large, and Zhao Yan did not expect that there would be a situation where he could not land, so there was not much fuel prepared, and judging from the current situation, it would definitely not be until dawn.

In the next period of time, Zhao Yan and the three of them all lay next to the hanging basket and looked down with wide eyes, hoping to see the lights below, but unfortunately the Liao country was originally vast and sparsely populated, coupled with the lack of nightlife in this era, except for the sleepless city like Kaifeng, many cities were dark at night, so Zhao Yan looked down in the sky for a long time, but only saw a black piece, and nothing else could be seen at all.

In this way, Zhao Yan and they don't know how long they have been floating in the sky, and the fuel they prepared before is about to run out, mainly because it is too dark, Zhao Yan and they don't know their altitude, in order to prevent flying too low and hitting something, so they can only keep refueling, and as a result, the fuel is used quickly, and it is estimated that if you hold on for another hour at most, the hot air balloon will start to fall because there is no fuel, and it may be more dangerous at that time.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yan had no choice but to say to Su Shi and Yelusi: "Now that the fuel is running out, we can only risk forcibly landing, do you have any opinions?" ā€

"That's all we can do, but before we land, we can set things on fire and throw them down, so we should be able to judge the altitude, and if we're lucky, maybe we can see the terrain below." At this time, Jeruth mentioned yƬ again.

"It's a good idea, there is still some fuel, and there are also cloth bags for coal, but there are not many of them, and we are afraid that we only have one chance." Su Shi's eyes lit up when he heard Yelusi's mention.

"Alright, let's lower some height now, and then try it the princess way!" Zhao Yan also glanced at Yelusi with some surprise when he heard this, he only took the other party away with kindness, but he didn't expect this little woman to be so smart and think of such a good way at this life-and-death juncture.

At the moment, Zhao Yan no longer added fuel, and the heat entering the airbag also decreased, and after a while, they finally felt that the hot air balloon began to fall, and the degree was not very fast, but Zhao Yan still felt a little frightened, for fear of hitting something, and finally Zhao Yan felt almost, so he lit a bag containing coal and threw it down, as a result, the burning bag was immediately blown out by the wind far away, but until it was extinguished Zhao Yan They didn't see anything valuable.

"Looks like we flew too high before." Zhao Yan said to himself at this time, and then they waited for a while, and it was estimated that it had dropped a lot, and then they lit a bag and threw it down, as the height decreased, the wind was much lighter at this time, and the burning bag flew in the air like a fire butterfly for a while, but it may be because it was too high, and in the end Zhao Yan and they still didn't see anything.

In this way, Zhao Yan threw down some lit things every time they lowered a certain height, sometimes it was a bag and sometimes it was a flaming red coal, at first it was still like the first two times, and there was nothing to be found, especially the coal had no flame, and the brightness was relatively low, so as long as it was a certain distance, it would never be seen again, but the hard work paid off, and in the end, after Zhao Yan lit the last bag and threw it down, it soon became clear that the bag was hung by something in the air, and by the light of the fire Zhao Yan They appeared, and the bag was actually a branch, And it was surrounded by tree branches, which means that there was a forest underneath.

"It seems that we are not very lucky, we actually came to the sky above a forest, everyone should be careful when landing, it is likely to be dangerous." Zhao Yan smiled bitterly when he saw this, his luck today was really not very good, first encountered a change in wind direction, and then encountered a forest when landing, landing in the woods is definitely much more dangerous than landing in other places, first Zhao Yan They are likely to be skewered by branches in the process of falling.

Yelusi and Su Shi were also pale at this time, thinking of the danger they might encounter if they fell in the woods, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little afraid, but now they didn't have much fuel, and it was not enough to lift off again, so they could only resign themselves to fate.

But resigned to fate is not to do nothing, as the hot air balloon descended again, Zhao Yan and they even felt the branches across the bottom of the hanging basket, at this time Zhao Yan threw out the stove in the hanging basket, the furnace was full of burning coal, in case they were knocked over when landing, it was likely to burn them, and even ignite the entire hot air balloon, I am afraid that the three of them would have to be burned to death, of course, the stove thrown down was likely to cause a fire in the woods, but now Zhao Yan couldn't care about this.

Next, Zhao Yan and the three of them all squatted in the hanging basket, and then Zhao Yan taught them to bury their heads deep between their legs, and to clump their bodies into a ball as much as possible, so as to protect the vital points of their bodies to the greatest extent, and at the same time, the quilt that Yelusi used before was also covered on top of their heads to prevent the branches from reaching in and stabbing them when they fell.

Just when Zhao Yan and the others were making these preparations, they soon felt a sudden shock to the hanging basket, as if they had hit something, Zhao Yan estimated that it was hung by a tall canopy, which also made the hanging basket stop. However, the air bag above was still moving forward under the action of the wind, so Zhao Yan soon felt that the hanging basket was dragged forward again, after crossing the canopy below, but soon hit another canopy, shaking them all over the body, among which Yelusi collided with Zhao Yan, she screamed in fright, instinctively hugged Zhao Yan's waist, and refused to let go.

What followed was a series of impacts, and Zhao Yan felt like they were being thrown up and down by a pair of big hands, and their internal organs wanted to be vomited, and their brains were even more dizzy, without any ability to resist. Thankfully, the impact only lasted for a short time, and soon their basket was caught by a tree, and the airbags on it seemed to have burst, leaving them with no more strength to drag them forward.

But before Zhao Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, they only felt that the hanging basket was sinking downward, and then the whole hanging basket turned over at once, which made Zhao Yan and the three of them all fall down, Zhao Yan only felt that there were many branches around him, and his body seemed to have been cut a few times, and then his head hit a thick branch that came over, and then he felt that the Venus in front of him was spinning, and then with a "bang", the whole person finally fell heavily to the ground.
