Chapter 67: The Gift
The southwest corner of Wuhun City, in the Xingluo Campus of Wuhun Academy.
Yi Tian leaned against the rockery in the garden of the academy and reclined in the shade of the tree.
He was thinking about things with a bitter little face.
There is no doubt that this is his previous decision without thinking, and he was extremely decisive...... The follow-up troubles left after the deception.
He was wondering what gift he was going to give to Hu Liena tomorrow?
Definitely not going to buy it.
Let's not talk about whether Hu Liena can see it.
The point is that you don't have any money.
He hasn't gone to the Martial Soul Hall to certify the soul master level, and he hasn't been able to eat the subsistence allowance of ten gold soul coins per month.
He thought about his specialty, should he give full play to his old blacksmith's profound skills, make a pair of big iron rings and iron hooks for Hu Liena, and let her push and play?
Push hoops are also known as rolling hoops.
It is an old-fashioned traditional children's game that became popular throughout China in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century.
The player pinched a U-shaped iron rod or wire with a head and pushed a black iron ring with a diameter of about half a meter to run forward.
Some also put two or three small rings on the hoop, which is louder when rolling.
The brain made up for it.
He muttered to himself: "If I make this thing and give it to Hu Liena, she will probably smash it on my head with an iron ring!" ”
Cow beep that has blown it yourself.
It will be done with tears.
Zhang Xing, Zhao Yingjie, and Zhu Zhujin walked under the flower trellis, looking at Yi Tian in confusion through the branches full of vines.
They felt that Yi Tian was a little strange, he didn't go to train today, but came to this place in a daze, and his mouth was broken and he couldn't hear the words clearly.
"Boss, it's time to eat!"
Zhang Xing shouted from afar, he felt that Yi Tian's appearance might not go today.
Sure enough.
Yi Tiantou didn't reply, turned his back to everyone, stretched out a hand and waved: "You guys go eat first, I'm not hungry now!" ”
The three of them are not reluctant, after practicing for a long time, they have long been hungry, how can they bear it at this time?
Disappeared in an instant.
"What should I do?!" Yi Tian squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, a kite-like white cloud floating.
"Kite?!"
"Kite!!"
He repeated two sentences, and suddenly he ran with his legs, and quickly crossed the branches that blocked the way around him, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
He thought to himself, the hoop can't be made, but the kite can, isn't the girl interested in this kind of colorful thing?
Besides, there doesn't seem to be such a thing as a kite in the Douluo Continent, it is definitely a brand new variety that has never been seen before.
In his previous life, he had learned in a handicraft class, and Yi Tian vaguely remembered how to do it, plus after coming to Douluo Continent, he had honed his iron-striking skills for three years.
It's just a kite.
He thought he had no problem.
To make a kite, you must first tie up the frame, which is the basis of kite making and the first link of production.
The structure of the kite stand has a lot of arbitrariness, and it can be made into a variety of shapes according to one's preferences, or triangles, or diamonds, or dragonflies and butterflies, etc.
Yi Tian took local materials, cut down two golden bamboos in the bamboo forest next to the academy, cut them open, and burned them slightly with fire.
Due to the need to control the balance of the kite while in the air, the kite frame is generally made into an axisymmetric shape.
This not only has a stable center of gravity, but also is easy to control, which can ensure the normal flight of the kite.
The production of the kite frame is very simple, just tie the places that need to be connected between the bamboo strips according to the designed shape with a thread.
For Yi Tian, this step is much easier than the concave and convex shape when striking iron, with a skeleton, but also to add flesh and blood to make it plump and moving, this is paste, that is, the paper of the kite is pasted on the skeleton.
Yi Tian didn't think much about it, returned to the dormitory, and ripped off the white cloak on his Martial Spirit Hall school uniform to use as a kite sticker.
He was already very upset with this cloak.
He is past the age of Form 2.
The cloak is a very stylish thing, but it is actually a burden, and it can hinder one's actions when fighting.
Of course, if someone practices martial arts similar to the robe to subdue demons, then it is another matter.
Many students in the academy love to wear cloaks, and when they walk, they shake them, and they wave their sleeves to make the cloak flutter behind them, pretending to be very powerful.
One of these students.
There is Zhang Xing.
It made him feel a little ashamed.
Tearing off the cloak of one of his school uniforms, he cut the cloak into the shape of a snow-white little fox according to his memories of yesterday.
At this point, the kite production is largely completed, and the remaining task is to tie the string and test flight.
These two links are very important.
Whether the kite rises smoothly or spins and falls, the key lies in the tether.
Yi Tian pulled out the cloak collar and fastened it with delicate gold thread.
He tried it, and it was worthy of being a sharp weapon of the Martial Spirit Hall Academy, and the workmanship was excellent and very tough.
Use three gold threads of about 10 centimeters to tie the three points of the kite frame to form an isosceles triangle, which is very strong.
The center line on the bottom edge should coincide with the axis of symmetry of the kite stand, and after it is firmly tied, the kite is complete.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the hem of the remaining half of the cloak, peeled off the cocoon, and pulled out the thin silk thread.
And tie three of them into one to make it firm and use it as a string for flying kites.
Then he used the remaining piece of golden bamboo to make the spool of the kite, and wound the thread around it.
Finally, there is the commissioning of the kite - test flight.
He trotted and lifted the kite into the sky to observe how the kite behaved in the sky.
At first, there were a few spins, which was a sign of the unstable center of gravity of the kite.
After Yi Tian made several appropriate adjustments to the kite frame and tether line, the kite was finally done very completely, and it could fly smoothly and smoothly into the sky.
"Hoo ......"
Looking at the sky that had completely darkened, he let out a long breath: "It's finally done!" ”
He looked at the kite in his hand and was stunned, is it still something missing?
After thinking about it, he took off the jewel-like collar of his cloak and used it as the eyes of a little fox and set it on the kite;
Then he took out his pen and carefully wrote and drew on the kite.
"That's it!"
Yi Tian lifted the kite he made and nodded with satisfaction, it was very beautiful, and he would finally have an explanation tomorrow.
Entering the dormitory, he hid the kite behind him and held it behind him, not wanting a few friends to find out about it.
But he was spotted by the sharp-eyed Zhang Xing at a glance: "Boss, what is that thing in your hand?!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yingjie and Zhu Zhujin also turned their heads and looked at Yi Tian with straight eyes.
A few pairs of eyes kept slanting back to see what he was hiding.
"The boss didn't go to eat before, did he get something to eat?" Zhu Zhujin guessed.
"If it's delicious, the boss won't hide it, is there a little secret?" Zhao Yingjie narrowed his eyes, "Did Mr. Huang open a small stove for you?" ”
He hadn't forgotten the last time Huang Yingte took Yi Tian to take the Star Dou Great Forest.
"It's not like it, we also met Teacher Huang once in the cafeteria, and we definitely didn't go to open a small stove for the boss!" Zhang Xing tilted his head vigorously, "Boss, what are you doing with a fox pattern?" ”
Yi Tian took out the kite in his hand, and talked nonsense in a serious way: "I glanced at the Flying Soul Master, and I plan to simulate it!" ”
The friends were stunned!
"How do you simulate it?" Zhang Xing suddenly became energetic, "Can this thing make a soul master who is not a flying department fly?" ”
"Yes!" Yi Tian said casually, "But this thing is a bit small, if it can be ten times bigger, and it is as tall as you, you can fix it on it, and you can spiral up to the sky with a run and jump, and enjoy the feeling of flying......"
