Chapter 16: The Contest
Chen Shenghong raised his right hand, stretched out three fingers, closed his eyes to feel the wind and direction, and then opened his eyes abruptly and withdrew his first finger.
The men who ran forward first let go of their hands in unison, but saw that the peacock's head suddenly hung in the air and raised in the wind.
Chen Shenghong took the opportunity to put down the second and third fingers.
The people holding the paper kite all left their hands, and the peacock rose in the wind.
He turned and stood against the wind, and when he heard the wind with his ears, and when he saw the wind blowing, he suddenly lowered his right hand.
The footline was tightened, and the swaying peacock rose into the air, and the giant wings rode the wind, kicking up a burst of dust, and the dust did not disperse for a long time, but the shadow of the bird dispersed, and it had chased for a moment of sunshine, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the white clouds.
Chen Shenghong heard the endless exclamations and admiration, and looked to the side proudly: "How?" ”
Luo Changqing helped Yue Lan close the line and replied with a smile: "Not bad." ”
He wasn't too happy: "It's just good, could it be that you've seen a bigger and more spectacular paper kite than this?" ”
"Bigger, more spectacular......" her words came to an abrupt end.
The questioner has to ask, "How?" ”
"Not really." She refused to say more.
Chen Shenghong gave up, he set up a hand shed in his eyes, looked up to look for it, and sneered: "Oh, why can't you see that little thing, didn't you run away by yourself?" ”
"On the top of Your Excellency's one, it is naturally impossible to see it, Shopkeeper Chen might as well look at it in another place, and you can see it."
His face was stunned: "You may not be able to see it in another place." ”
"Fortunately, my butterfly is dark in color and conspicuous."
"The color is deep and unbearable, but it's not small, normal people's eyes are not so good......"
Before the words fell, he listened to the county Cheng pick up the table and slapped it three times: "Release for a quarter of an hour, Changqingzhai is high, and then one point, the next quarter of an hour is the highest one, and the stable one is on the point." ”
Luo Changqing said: "It seems that the eyes of the county lord are not normal. ”
He glared at her, looked up at his paper kite, and inexplicably felt a little pressure.
With the strength of the breeze now, his paper kite may not be able to maintain stability for a quarter of an hour.
However, he quickly reassured himself that the giant paper kite did need strong wind, and in order to increase its ability to absorb and produce wind, he specially deepened the groove surface between the two wings.
Since the original plan is to find another way, then can not take the advantage of the wind, naturally have to find a way from the paper kite itself, the groove surface is the key to the wind, located in the center of the two wings, the deeper the groove, the greater the paper kite tilt angle, the wind resistance will be reduced, the greater the wind force.
Of course, everything has a degree of balance, and generally paper kites have a fixed groove depth, not the deeper the better, his move is undoubtedly to win in danger.
Having said that, the little butterfly is also a wind-picker, and the slightly stronger wind is enough to make it lose its direction, so don't worry.
While thinking about it, the bamboo sea suddenly brought a rustling sound.
The wind can blow the branches, and it gets bigger.
Chen Shenghong was overjoyed: "It's my turn." ”
He passed by the informant, grabbed the wheel from behind, and said, "At this time, the wind is strong, you and I will work together and do as I instruct." ”
The guy nodded, but when he shouted "receive", he reeled, and when he shouted "receive", he received, and when he shouted "put", he put the line, put it when the wind was strong, and when the wind was weak, it was not completely unruly.
He had to look around again.
Luo Changqing also held the thread wheel with her apprentice, but it was the opposite of the position of him and his partner, she stood in front of Yue Lan, and the ribbon on her hair repeatedly floated on Yue Lan's face, Yue Lan shook her head a few times, not daring to let go of the thread wheel to brush, nor daring to look down at her.
"Lan'er, we don't need to retract and pay off, you and I will tighten this wire wheel together, the wind is too strong for us at this time, we just need to keep it stable, and no longer go up." Luo Changqing said.
Yue Lan nodded, he understood that it didn't matter if he gave up this point.
The shocking wood of the county Cheng knocked three more times: "Half a quarter of an hour is here, Hongyuanfang is high, one point." ”
Chen Shenghong was not much surprised, after all, he was still one point behind, which was almost unprecedented for him.
The next step is not to be taller than anyone, but to be stable.
As long as the wind keeps going like this, he won't lose.
But the one at the bottom has been very stable, which is a little strange, it stands to reason that although this wind is not small, but it still failed to reach the wind power of his giant paper kite, just because he changed the normal groove depth, so that it reduced the wind power, so what about the other one, the miniature paper kite is just the opposite of him, should only be able to withstand the fine wind, why is it so stable under the wind that can blow the branches?
It seems that this Changqingzhai really has some origins, and he walked away for a while.
This distraction, but suddenly felt that the strength of the hand changed abruptly.
"Oops, the wind is getting weaker again." He hurriedly turned around and urgently closed the line.
"Lan'er, take the line." At the same time, Luo Changqing also said.
There is a downward trend in paper kites on both sides.
The onlookers let out exclamations, and Aunt Zhao stood in the crowd and couldn't help but shake the people next to her: "What to do, what to do, think of a way!" ”
The shopkeeper Gu was dizzy by her shaking, and finally stood firm, and the tea in the cup was spilled on the ground, he didn't care about being distressed, and said breathlessly: "I didn't participate in the competition, what can I do?" ”
"Don't you usually say a set of things?"
"There's no way, anyway, the one in Hongyuan Fang can't go up, and it's already starting to take root." Gu shopkeeper said.
"Why are you so sure ......?"
Mrs. Zhao was about to ask, and suddenly saw that the peacock had fallen faster than the butterfly, and it was spinning, and it was really taking root, and soon fell lower than the other party, and the shadow that had been taken away before came back, blocking the sunlight above people's heads.
Rooting is a taboo for paper kites to fly, and it is generally difficult to rescue them back in this case, and the shopkeeper Chen was also anxious, and issued orders loudly, dozens of guys pulled the line, ran and ran, and were busy.
But no matter what, the peacock seemed to have been drained of its spirit, and it circled listlessly and fell.
The butterfly on the other side was shaking and falling for a while, but it stabilized.
The unexpected changes made the onlookers almost hold their breath, Hongyuanfang, which has not been defeated for many years, is the "legend" going to be broken today?
"There's no way." Chen Shenghong gritted his teeth with the reel, and suddenly went to the side, changing the direction of the paper kite.
"What is he going to do?" Aunt Zhao wanted to shake the people around her again, but her arm was raised, but she fell into the air, and when she turned her head, she saw that the shopkeeper Gu had made preparations this time, and he was already eight feet away from her.
Luo Changqing saw that the peacock had changed direction and approached her paper kite, and hurriedly said, "Lan'er, reel in the line, we have to be lower than him." ”
"Lower than him?" Yue Lan thought he had heard it wrong, didn't he take the initiative to give up the upcoming victory?
But he never asked her why, and as long as she told her to, he did it.
He quickly reeled the line as instructed, and lowered the height of the peacock in time when it was too close to them.
But the other party came too fast, but it didn't have time to drop lower than it.
There was another burst of doubts around her, and Aunt Zhao couldn't stand it, so she ran to the shopkeeper Gu in a few steps: "What is she going to do here?" ”
Shopkeeper Gu had just taken a sip of tea, and he choked on his throat by this shake, and he coughed for a long time and didn't speak.
I only looked up and saw Luo Changqing loosen the wire wheel, but his hand did not leave, but pressed on Yue Lan's hand: "Lan'er, I'll grasp the direction, you pull the line." ”
Yue Lan was stunned for a moment, and Fang Hui said, "Okay...... What are they going to do as they get closer to us? ”
"He is going to bite my line, if the line is broken, he will lose directly, the previous results will be invalid, and we will fall lower than him before we can fight back."
"I see." Yue Lan understood, it seemed that Hongyuanfang was about to make the last struggle.
It's common for paper kites to fight each other, but it's not common to have a huge difference in size like this.
In the past, some of the paper kites that competed with each other had sharp swallow beaks or sharp tail spines, intended to break through each other's masks, and once the masks were broken, the paper kites naturally could not fly.
And now that the peacock can't fly, Chen Shenghong immediately decided, not to destroy the other party's mask, but to directly attack their footline, only when the other party breaks the line, he can turn defeat into victory.
Of course, because the butterfly is too small, it is difficult to control the direction of the attack paper kite itself, and it is not easy to even touch it.
Although the peacock that has lost its spirit can no longer rise in the clouds, but a pair of red eyes are still shining with sharp light, it comes straight to this long line, and it has no hesitation, and sees death as home, if it can speak, the onlookers can probably hear a tragic declaration: "I fight with you, today is either you die or I live!" ”
Its size is large, and the chance of hitting it is also big, Luo Changqing glanced at Yue Lan: "You hurry up." Then he took his hand and flipped the wheel of thread over.
The two danced lightly with long sleeves, and together they crossed a half-human-high arc in front of them.
At the same time, the butterfly at the other end of the footline also quickly circled in mid-air.
In this circle, he successfully avoided the attack of the peacock, although he was instigated by the wind and flew unsteadily, but he also escaped a catastrophe.
The peacock couldn't attack, so he stepped back a bit, ready to attack for the second time.
"Take advantage of this opportunity, and if you descend again, you must be lower than it." Luo Changqing said.
Yue Lan urgently pulled the line.
The peacock has also been falling, and it is a forced fall, but it does not affect its offensive.
Its owner, as if like it, was red-eyed.
It changed its posture, from horizontal to vertical, increasing the area of contact with the opponent's footline, as long as it can touch, its owner is sure to cut the opponent's line, even if it is twisted, it can also be knocked down together, and it is better to lose both than to lose alone.
The person who pulled the line almost made a plan to break the kettle and sink the boat, and suddenly pulled the line, if this move failed, his paper kite could no longer go up, only to land.
The second attack is still menacing, the speed is faster than the last time, the offensive is more urgent than the last time, and the "killing intent" is also more vividly displayed.
Electrifying and flint.
The other party also pulled the line suddenly.
