Chapter 56 The First Holiday
Chapter 56 First Festival
Seeing the balloon flying into the sky and drifting into the distance, the people below could only stare and jump.
Shen Yuexi laughed happily, and her wanton look made Xiao Zhuo's mouth curl up slightly.
The hot air balloon quickly flew into the sky with the wind.
The pedestrians below raised their heads one after another and looked at the things flying in the sky in shock, like immortals riding on clouds and riding on the mist.
Some people who had woken up at night had already begun to kneel down in the air and chant prayers for the safety of their families...
Shen Yuexi: "..."
She turned her head silently, not wanting to look at those people.
But when she thought of the hateful expressions of the people below who wanted to kill her and Xiao Zhuo, she felt very proud, her eyes glowed with pride, and she laughed loudly at them.
"Xiao Zhuo, don't you think it's fun to see how they want to kill us and how we can't do anything about it?"
Xiao Zhuo turned sideways and looked at the dazzling stars in the night sky. The starlight illuminated the dark night and dispersed his frosty eyes, making him unable to look away for a long time.
Maybe he didn't even notice that he was losing his composure at this moment, which had already betrayed his always cool and calm persona.
The hot air balloon quickly floated in front of the city gate in the direction of the wind. Shen Yuexi quickly held the control stick and let the hot air balloon rise.
The higher you go, the greater the wind speed, the greater the thrust the hot air balloon receives, and the faster it flies.
There were dozens of fast horses chasing after them, but the distance between them could only get farther and farther.
The pursuers looked at each other angrily, but had no choice but to chase the hot air balloon which was getting further and further away.
"How is it?" Shen Yuexi controlled the console and proudly showed off to Xiao Zhuo, "This thing I have is pretty good, isn't it."
Although this was the first time she had used it since she made it, she was still a little worried. Now that she saw the hot air balloon flying high in the sky, she was finally relieved.
I came up with an idea on the spur of the moment, but I didn't expect it to be so effective.
Xiao Zhuo has been silent since he got on the hot air balloon, sometimes looking at the sky and sometimes at the ground.
Shen Yuexi could clearly feel the change in Xiao Zhuo, although the change was very slight.
Perhaps this was the first time I saw people really flying into the sky. It was so amazing that Xiao Zhuo, who had always remained calm-faced, finally showed a hint of shock in his eyes.
When he looked at Shen Yuexi again, his black eyes flashed with surprise, surprise, and indescribable relief.
Looking down, the two of them seemed to be on top of the clouds, as if they were at the top of the mountain, taking in a panoramic view of the mountains.
The hot air balloon flew upwards, and the wind only lasted for a stick of incense. The two of them flew dozens of miles north of the city.
The wind roared past my ears. The control of this thing was not like other flying things. It floated on top and sensed the direction of the wind to change its direction.
The moon hangs like a jade plate in the night sky, and the deep sky is filled with stars, as if you can pick off all the stars with just one hand. Shen Yuexi's long hair is flying in the night sky, and there are thousands of stars in front of her eyes.
"Xiao Zhuo," Shen Yuexi pointed at the stars in the sky and said happily, "did you see it? That's the Magpie Bridge."
She didn't know whether it was because the night was so beautiful or because she was flying very high, but she felt that the night was particularly beautiful tonight. There were two stars shining particularly brightly separated by a silver ribbon.
Xiao Zhuo raised his eyes, and the moonlight fell in his eyes. In an instant, a clear light poured out, and a voice as clear and clear as mellow wine came out: "Tonight is the festival of begging for cleverness."
Xiao Zhuo's eyes only stayed in the night sky for a moment, then turned to the hot air balloon, and did not move away for a long time. It took a long time before he could ask, with an incredible voice:
"This...what exactly is this?"
Shen Yuexi had briefly told Xiao Zhuo before that the shock of actually sitting in a hot air balloon at this moment was more real than what he said.
Even Xiao Zhuo, who had always been as steady as a rock, had a different look on his face at this moment.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has extensive experience, was shocked by what was in front of him.
"Have you never seen it before?" Shen Yuexi raised her chin proudly and raised the corners of her mouth with indescribable pride, "This is the hot air balloon I made."
Afraid that he would not understand, Shen Yuexi began to teach him how to make this thing and its uses.
The wind blew her hair, and she narrowed her eyes comfortably and slowly explained the process of making this thing.
A voice like a clear spring floated in the air, which made me feel so proud.
Xiao Zhuo listened very seriously, sometimes frowning, sometimes happy, and sometimes surprised.
Xiao Zhuo is a person who loves to learn very much. When he encounters a problem that he doesn't know, he is not ashamed to ask questions until he solves the problem.
The two of them went back and forth, and time passed bit by bit.
After she had satisfied Xiao Zhuo's curiosity, she stood up and looked down with satisfaction.
This is a bad thing.
She suddenly felt dizzy, her eyes were spinning, and she almost vomited.
Her feet were trembling and her legs were weak. She couldn't stand, so she let go of the console and fell backwards.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Xiao Zhuo hugged her and asked nervously: "Yue Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Yuexi's face turned pale and she said in a low voice: "Xiao Zhuo, I'm done..."
"Be careful!" Xiao Zhuo's face changed drastically and he frowned slightly, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
Xiao Zhuo didn't realize that his voice was trembling.
"I forgot to tell you, I'm afraid of heights."
Although Shen Yuexi did not explain what the symptom of fear of heights was, looking at Xiao Zhuo's soothing expression, he should have understood her situation literally.
"Then don't look down," he picked her up and leaned her in his arms, his calm voice soothing, "The night is very beautiful tonight, you just appreciate this rare beauty, I will be the one to pilot the hot air balloon. "
Xiao Zhuo asked Shen Yuexi to lean on his shoulder. Shen Yuexi nodded. This is all he can do now.
Seeing him driving the control panel unfamiliarly, he must have secretly memorized the movements when he watched her operate it just now.
Xiao Zhuo is an extremely serious person, and his seriousness makes people's hearts tremble.
"Okay," she looked away from Xiao Zhuo and looked into the sky, trying to distract herself.
"Our direction is southwest now. Pulling up the left lever means going up, and vice versa. The wind speed above is faster, but I don't know what direction the wind is in."
Shen Yuexi directed Xiao Zhuo how to control the bridge, and watched him gradually become familiar with it, and then he was able to appreciate this rare beauty.
Recalling what Xiao Zhuo said before, today seems to be the Chinese Valentine's Day.
The night sky is silent, and if you listen carefully, you can seem to hear the whispers of the men and women below talking to each other in the wind.
On the night of begging for love, it was when boys and girls talked about their love affairs. She glanced at Xiao Zhuo and looked away shyly.
There is really nothing wrong to say, but these are the things to say. A man and a woman are alone, and it is such a festival. It is really easy for people to think about it.
Watching Xiao Zhuo become more proficient at driving the control panel makes people feel jealous and envious.
Others may need to fumble for a long time to grasp the principles, but this person is now familiar with it.
"Xiao Zhuo," she said feebly, "how do you spend the Qiqiao Festival every year?"
Actually, this is more like asking him if he has someone he likes.
As soon as she said it, she regretted it.
Xiao Zhuo, who was driving a hot air balloon, turned his head and glanced at her, "I've never done this before. This is the first time."
