Chapter 147: Twilight Shimmer
Xu Lan used a machete to cut down a bamboo with great force.
She split the bamboo into small strips.
I went to the thatched hut and found a lot of blank paper to record the prescriptions. Xu Lan untied her head rope, dismantled it, and divided it into thin strips.
She first made the skeleton out of bamboo strips, and tied it firmly everywhere with a thin strip of head rope. Then the paper was glued to the bamboo strips with sticky rice grass.
After some tossing, a big kite that was full of Xu Lan's height was made.
This kite is a little rudimentary.
But Xu Lan's purpose was to buffer the speed of her landing.
Just let her fall a little slower and give her reaction time to re-enter the space.
After making preparations, Xu Lan took a deep breath and raised the big kite with both hands.
She said silently in her heart.
"Get out of the space."
In the next second, there was a flower in front of her, and her whole body began to fall.
Xu Lan's heart was beating wildly with fright.
The big kite was blown up by the wind all of a sudden, which made Xu Lan's falling speed really slow down a lot.
She immediately looked down.
At this time, she was only two or three meters away from the inside.
Xu Lan immediately entered the space again.
"Wow......" She lay on the lawn of the space, her legs limped with fright.
If it hadn't been for the big kite that slowed down her falling just now, I'm afraid Xu Lan would have fallen to the ground by now.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Xu Lan cheered herself up in her heart, "There are still two or three meters, I'll come back as soon as I go out." A few more times is pretty much it. ”
She rested for a while, calmed down, and then re-emerged from the space with the kite in her hand.
After two or three times, Xu Lan finally landed safely on the ground.
She let out a long sigh of relief and threw the big kite back into space.
By this time the sky was much brighter than before.
What Xu Lan didn't know was that when she was making kites in the space before, there were already many villagers on the cliff holding torches and shouting her name.
It is more appropriate to say that it is a cliff than an extremely steep slope.
The hill is so high that it descends almost vertically, and it is impossible for those above to get down, and it is extremely difficult for those below to climb up.
The cliff is not far from the village, and the villagers of Lotus Village have been told since they were young that the Jedi should not come here to play.
So nothing happened.
But Xu Lan didn't know this.
When the villagers saw that she didn't answer, they all thought that Xu Lan fell and died.
Because it was so dark, they decided to wait until dawn to come down and look for her body.
Xu Lan didn't know any of this.
She walked up the hill and estimated the height and her strength, and knew that she would not be able to climb it.
So Xu Lan simply walked in the opposite direction.
The surroundings were gray, and Xu Lan was not familiar with the terrain around here at all.
She had been walking for about half an hour, but in the distance she saw sporadic lights ahead.
Xu Lan's eyes lit up suddenly.
If there is light, it means that there is someone, and she is saved.
Xu Lan walked quickly towards the place of light, and after about two sticks of incense, she was getting closer and closer to the light. But Xu Lan suddenly found that something was wrong, it didn't seem to be a village, but it seemed to be a ...... Simple tents on top of each other!
What's going on?
Why are there so many tents here?
Xu Lan stopped suddenly, didn't dare to get any closer, and hid her body behind nearby stones.
After a while, the light of the torch began to move.
Two men in tattered clothes, hitching hache and carrying torches, patrolled the area.
They walked around the camp for a while, then circled around the camp again.
Xu Lan lowered her body and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"It's really bad luck, it's my turn to be on duty tonight."
"Hey, the head is really, what's the night in such a place?"
"He was in the army before, and I'm afraid he trained us all like soldiers......"
The two grumbled as they walked.
Xu Lan also saw clearly that they were all carrying weapons.
Her heart lifted suddenly.
From their attire and conversations, it is clear that these people must not be regular soldiers. So who are they? Why are so many people gathered here? Still with weapons?
Xu Lan suddenly felt as if she had inadvertently bumped into something extremely dangerous.
She didn't dare to stay any longer, and when the two were far away, she quickly retreated back the way she came.
But who knew that she accidentally stepped on a branch.
"Click".
The sound of tree branches being trampled on is very noticeable at night.
"Who's there!" The two men immediately looked this way.
Xu Lan was so nervous that somehow a similar passage that she had seen in her notebook suddenly flashed in her mind. When the knights in it encounter danger, they rely on learning to bark cats to fool them.
She opened her mouth, trying to learn a cat meow or two, when suddenly she realized that something was wrong.
Wherever there is a village nearby, wild cats will gather outside the village, which is a certain distance from the lotus village, and there is no large forest nearby, where do the wild cats come from.
Seeing the torch approaching, Xu Lan immediately returned to the space.
Before leaving, she did not forget to bend down and pick up the cut branch.
When the two men ran over, they found it empty.
"Tsk, maybe it's the wind blowing." One of them said, "If there were people, they wouldn't have been able to run so fast." ”
"Let's go, no one will come here in the wilderness."
The two of them circled around the neighborhood, and when they were sure that no one was there, they went on patrol elsewhere.
After a while after they left, Xu Lan's figure suddenly appeared in place.
She immediately crouched down and looked around cautiously.
After making sure that there was no one, Xu Lan stood on tiptoe and ran away quickly.
I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death!
Xu Lan covered her chest, only to feel a small heart "thump".
If there is no space, I am afraid that she will definitely be caught just now. Xu Lan didn't dare to guarantee that the other party was a good person, looking at their sneaky appearance, she must be going to do something that no one would find out.
She had a good memory and a good sense of direction, and after running for a while, she was back down the hill.
Now it's getting bright.
Xu Lan didn't dare to walk around, and only walked all the way along the hillside.
After walking for a while, she suddenly saw a path extending upwards.
Xu Lan climbed up from the path, and after walking for a long time, she looked back and saw that she had already reached the top of the hillside.
This toss can make her choke tired.
Xu Lan sat on the ground, took out the fruit in her pocket and ate it.
This is what she picked up in space.
The fruit was originally an ordinary wild fruit that grew in the back mountain, but it was dug up by Xu Lan and transplanted into the space. Now the fruit tree is full of red, and it is quite beautiful.
