Chapter Eighty-Seven: Kite Flying
Lingque'er smiled: "Brother Qiao, there are many interesting things in this world, who said that it must be somewhere, or it can be something or a toy or something, as long as we can conjure up something fun, I believe that the old naughty boy will definitely come to us when he sees it." ”
Qiao Zhengyu listened and said suspiciously: "How do you change something fun?"
Lingque'er smiled, took Qiao Zhengyu's hand, and said, "Brother Qiao, come with me." "Towards the forest.
When they came to the forest, they plucked a few leaves as big as a fan, took some branches, placed them in the middle of the leaves, and fixed them with rattan.
Later, he took some thin threads from his bosom and tied them to a section of the branch.
"Brother Qiao, what do you think this is?"
Qiao Zhengyu was overjoyed when he saw that she had an extra thing in her hand, and said, "Miss Wu, isn't this a kite." I understand that the terrain of Peach Blossom Island is complex, and trying to find someone in it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. And the kite is high in the sky, and you can see it anywhere on the island, you want to use the kite flying method to let the old urchin come out by himself. ”
Lingque'er nodded, "Well, that's exactly what I meant. Brother Qiao, let's go, let's go to a higher place and put it, I don't believe that the old naughty boy won't come out. ”
Pulled Qiao Zhengyu towards the top of the mountain.
It was very windy on the island, not to mention the top of the mountain. The two of them easily came to the top of the mountain, but when they heard the whistling in their ears, a gust of sea breeze blew, and suddenly their long hair was blown away.
"Brother Qiao, you take the kite and run all the way, I believe it will be sent to the sky soon. The sparrow handed the kite to Qiao Zhengyu.
Qiao Zhengyu took it and said, "Well, Miss Wu, I don't have any other skills, but this kite flying still can't stop me." Just wait and see. ”
He pulled the thin thread in one hand and the kite in the other, and ran all the way forward. The sea wind was very strong on the top of the mountain, and when it didn't run much, the kite flew high and roamed freely in the air.
Lingque'er was full of joy when she saw it, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, you run farther and let the kite fly higher." He stepped forward and pulled the thin line and ran into the wind with Qiao Zhengyu.
After a while, they saw that the kite was flying higher and higher, and there was no need to rely on external forces, and the two couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts, and they both stopped and stood in the wind.
Lingque'er said: "Brother Qiao, the sea breeze is strong at this time, and it is difficult for the kite to fly or not." Believe it or not, the kite flies higher and higher, but I'm afraid that it will really fly away. ”
Qiao Zhengyu nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, the kite can't fly, because as long as I don't let go, the kite will never fly away." "I pulled the thin line hard.
He was afraid that the kite would break off and fly away, so he deliberately reeled in the string, and as the thin line gradually shortened, the kite slowly fell. After only a short period of work, the kite floated in the air, but it was neither high nor low, just right.
Lingque'er was happy in her heart, and said, "Brother Qiao, let me play too." He stepped forward and pulled the thin line. Qiao Zhengyu nodded and let go of his hands.
But at this moment, I saw the kite swaying back and forth in mid-air, and after a while, it fell from the sky, and then carried it to the ground.
"Brother Qiao, I'。。。。。。 Am I doing something wrong. Lingque'er panicked, looking at Qiao Zhengyu, full of grievances.
It turned out that she had lived in the valley all her life, and she knew everything about the outside world through books. Although I am proficient in the principles of kite making, I have no practical experience. It seems to be a simple release, but once you operate it yourself, everything is no longer so simple.
Qiao Zhengyu picked up the kite and said with a smile: "This kite seems to be very easy, but there is also skill in letting it fly into the sky, and you can't just rely on the wind." You just grabbed the string, but didn't pull back and forth, the kite had no power to support, and of course it was going to fall. ”
Lingque'er's face turned red and said, "Brother Qiao, am I not stupid, I can't even fly a kite." ”
Qiao Zhengyu was happy and said: "It's not anymore, it is impossible for anyone to succeed in doing it for the first time, and you are no exception, unless you are an immortal." ”
He handed the thin thread to the spirit sparrow and said, "Come, take the thin thread, and I will teach you." ”
Lingque took the thin thread, nodded and said softly, "Oh." I couldn't help but have red temples and a little shyness.
Qiao Zhengyu stretched out his hand and grabbed Lingque'er's arm and said, "Miss Wu, grab the thin thread, let's start leaving." "Drag the sparrow and walk forward.
But when I saw a sea breeze blowing, the kite swayed from side to side a few times, and it slowly drifted off the ground.
"Brother Qiao, get up! get up!" said the sparrow, surprised and pointed to the kite.
"Well, let's go faster!" Qiao Zhengyu nodded and shouted, as the pace of the two of them accelerated, the kite gradually broke away from the ground and jumped upward, about the height of a person.
"Well, that's pretty much it, but I need to work harder. If you want to make it fly higher, you have to rely on skill. Qiao Zhengyu explained as he spoke, and a pair of hands had been placed on the back of the sparrow's hand at some point, close together. With the height of the kite, the two hands swung up and down from time to time, and after a while, the kite flew far away and floated in the air.
Qiao Zhengyu was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Miss Wu, now I'm going to let go." As long as you remember what I just said, you will be able to control the kite, and it will be difficult to fall off when the time comes. ”
At this time, Qiao Zhengyu and Lingque'er were close at hand, and every word he said was like blowing in his ears. Lingqueer felt that her face was even hotter and uncomfortable, and the heart in her chest rose and fell continuously, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.
Fortunately, the wind on the island was quite strong, and it suddenly felt much cooler on his face, and Lingqueer nodded and said, "Well, I know." But seeing Qiao Zhengyu's hands loosened, he fled far away like a wounded rabbit.
It turned out that she had lived with her grandfather since she was a child, and she had never experienced the love between men and women, and today she was in close contact with Qiao Zhengyu, and a feeling that she had never felt before rose inexplicably. Despite this, she was still in her clear mind, and she only hoped to stay away and return to her former calm.
She ran all the way, but she couldn't go far, and there was no way to the top of the mountain. I saw a pink forest under the cliff, but it was a peach forest, and the sparrow didn't seem to see it, but still ran all the way forward.
Where did Qiao Zhengyu know her thoughts, and seeing that she was far away, he waved his hand and shouted: "Miss Wu, you don't have to run so far, you can control the kite well by relying on the skills in your hands." "Follow-up closely.
Seeing that the spirit bird was not far from the cliff, Qiao Zhengyu hurriedly shouted: "Miss Wu, be careful!" wanted to pull it, but it was a few feet away from her, and it couldn't reach it anyway.
I couldn't help but feel anxious, and when I was worried, I suddenly saw a figure flashing next to me, and I saw an old man catch up with the spirit sparrow in a few steps, and gently pushed it behind him. Suddenly, I heard a soft shout from the spirit sparrow, and I couldn't help but turn around and take a few steps back.
Qiao Zhengyu put down his heart immediately, and smiled when he heard it, but the old man turned around, but it was the old naughty boy.
"It's really you, old urchin. Although it was the second time I saw him, I was very excited.
The old naughty boy ignored it, looked at the sparrow and said, "Little girl, what can't you think of, you want to jump off the cliff and commit suicide?" He shook his head repeatedly.
Suddenly, he saw the kite jumping up on the ground from time to time, ran over and held it in his hand, and asked curiously, "What is this, how can it move by itself?"
"Old-timers, this is called a kite, as long as there is wind, it can fly. If you don't believe me, I can show you. With a shake of the sparrow's hand, the kite broke away from the old boy's hand, trotted some distance by the wind, and the kite swayed a few times, and then floated into the air.
"Fun, fun, little girl, can you lend it to me. I promise I'll pay you back when I'm done. The poor old boy walked up to the sparrow, but before he could reply, he had already snatched the thin line and ran away.
The sparrow wanted to thank him, but of course she would not refuse to ask for it. It's just that I didn't expect the old naughty boy to be too naughty, and before he could make a statement, he was snatched away by the other party, but he was helpless and smiled bitterly.
The old naughty boy ran all the way with a kite, his martial arts were strong, and his light skills were no longer a problem, and at this time he unfolded his body and ran quickly, which was really faster than an arrow. The kite was very flexible and light in his hand, and when the old urchin made such a fuss, it suddenly flew high, and soon floated among the clouds.
The kite was originally in the shape of a big bird, but it appeared and disappeared in the clouds at this time, as if it was alive.
When the old naughty boy saw this, he was even more excited, running back and forth on the top of the mountain, and had a lot of fun for a while.
"The old urchin just likes to play, you see him, he can even play with a kite for a while, and there is no one left. Qiao Zhengyu smiled at the spirit sparrow.
Lingqueer said: "This can't be blamed on him, it's not easy for the old man to have such a playful heart, it's much better than being bored at home all day." Otherwise, once you get sick, it won't be good. ”
Qiao Zhengyu said: "Well, in our place, the old people are all healthy. Because they are very fond of dancing in addition to health care, they rarely get sick and most of them live a long life. The old naughty boy has a lively and lovely temperament, and he can't live long. ”
The two of them were talking vigorously when they suddenly saw the old urchin standing there motionless, with his hands on his waist, looking up at the sky.
Qiao Zhengyu walked over and said strangely: "Old naughty boy, what are you doing?"
But the old urchin said impatiently: "Don't bother me, I'm watching where the kite goes." He just let go, why is it gone?" frowned.
Qiao Zhengyu smiled when he heard this: "Old naughty boy, did you put the line away." Then don't look for it, the kite will never come back. ”
The old naughty boy's face changed slightly, and he said, "Huh", and said, "Why, I just want the kite to fly higher, so I just loosen the line, isn't this okay?" ”
Qiao Zhengyu explained: "No, the reason why this kite is fun is that it is the thin line, and it all depends on the thin line if it flies high or low." As soon as you fly like this, the kite flies high, but it also loses the ability to control the kite. Think about it, how can an uncontrolled thing listen to you and fly back. ”
The old naughty boy listened, seemed to understand or not, and stared at Qiao Zhengyu for a long time.
