living in a mountain village

Chapter 120 Kite Flying

Ten days later, Lin Hao and Chen Ming finally completed the planting of 5000 saplings. These days, in addition to eating food brought to them by armed transport planes, they also ate a lot of prey brought to them by wolves and tigers .Especially Lin Hao's barbecue is really amazing. Every night, after the soldiers have completed the task of planting trees for a day, what they look forward to most is the barbecue that Lin Hao prepared for them.

Lin Hao was worried that life might cause another fire. Fortunately, Chen Ming and the others prepared a few tall tents and went into the mountain. After they took out one of them and built it, they used it as a temporary kitchen and canteen. The next few tents are used as resting places.

Because of the shelter of the tent, even if it is a barbecue, there will be no sparks leaping to cause a fire.When they came out of the mountains, Chen Ming and the others didn't look like they were suffering in the mountains at all, they seemed to be going on a camping vacation in the mountains. Yes, Gao Ming was not so angry.

The second day of the second month of the lunar calendar has just passed, and the children in the village have started school, and Mo Qian is also busy with teaching.In Luoyun Village and Wangyue Village, due to the increase in the number of young people in the villages in the past few years, many children have been born in the villages.The little carrot heads aged three to six were frantically frolicking in the village, and those children who were originally in elementary school had already entered junior high school at this time.

The elementary school in Luoyun Village has more children from Wangyue Village, so Lin Hao discussed with the old village head and expanded two more. As for the house that was originally lent to the scientific expedition team, it has already been given to the scientific expedition team.

"The grass grows and the warblers fly in the February sky, and the willows are drunk with the spring smoke. The children come back early from school, and they are busy taking advantage of the east wind to release paper kites." Lin Hao looked at the little radish heads who had left school early, and at those running around in Luoyun Village. Going to the child, I don't know why I remembered this poem.

But kite flying is a good activity. Thinking of this, Lin Hao immediately left the village and ran back home. After searching in the warehouse, he finally found some pretty good yellow bamboos.Lin Hao split these yellow bamboos and cut them into thin strips, and then baked them a few times to give these strips a shape.Then Lin Hao found a few thin wires and wound them tightly.Made a shape of an eagle, because the kite is relatively large, so Lin Hao decided to use that kind of airtight fabric as the kite surface and fixed it on the shelf of the eagle just made, and then took the watercolor Carefully depict the details of this kite.Soon a vivid eagle kite was ready.

After finishing everything, Lin Hao was very satisfied with the kite he had completed.This eagle kite spreads its wings to about two meters and is about one meter long.However, Lin Hao thought that ordinary kite strings would not be able to withstand the tossing of this kite, so Lin Hao bought nearly 1000 meters of wrapped large-sized kite strings online, and Lin Hao received the kite strings two days later.

After waiting for two days, the huge eagle kite also became stronger during these two days of placement.Instead of being out of shape at any time like when it was just done.

After Lin Hao tied the kite line, he took the kite to the empty threshing ground. There were no wires or trees to cover it. It was very open and very suitable for kite flying.Originally, it was best for two people to fly this kind of kite together. If the kite is not so big, it may be difficult for the person who flies the kite to control his body to keep the kite balanced.So Lin Hao could only do it by himself. He first put the kite on the ground at a certain angle to the ground, so that the kite could take advantage of the wind and fly into the air while he was running.After several attempts, Lin Hao finally adjusted the angle of the kite.

Just as Lin Hao flew the huge kite into the air, the children who were still playing in the village gathered towards Lin Hao. "Uncle Lin, what are you playing?" A little girl looked at Lin Hao curiously and asked.

Because the kite had already flown into the sky, Lin Hao pulled the string of the kite from time to time, and the kite flew higher and higher with the wind.Seeing that the kite had stabilized, Lin Hao sat on a big rock on the threshing ground and said to the little girl who had just asked, "Oh, uncle is flying a kite."

"What is that kite?"

"It's hard to say, but, uncle taught you a poem, as long as you can memorize it all, uncle will promise you each to make a small kite for you to fly?" Lin Hao and these little carrot heads they said.

"Okay, okay. If we all know it, Uncle Lin can't refuse, otherwise he will be a lying and deceiving puppy." A group of children said around Lin Hao.

"Okay, Uncle Lin keeps his word." Lin Hao said: "Listen well: the grass grows and the warbler flies in the February sky, and the willows are drunk with spring smoke when blowing the embankment. The children come back early from school, and they are busy taking advantage of the east wind to release paper kites. Just these four sentences Do you remember the poem? As long as you can recite it tomorrow, I will make kites for you."

"We remembered."

After watching the little radishheads leave for a while, a tourist came over after discovering Lin Hao's situation. "Brother Lin, what are you doing here?" The tourists didn't notice it because the kite string was transparent, but when he came to Lin Hao's side, he heard a buzzing sound, which seemed to be the sound of the kite string .

"I'm flying a kite." Lin Hao replied.

"Fly a kite?" The tourist followed the string of the kite in Lin Hao's hand to the sky, and saw a huge eagle flying in the sky. Although it looked like the eagle was only as big as a magazine, he could guess This kite is definitely not small.So he asked, "How big is the landing?"

Lin Hao glanced at him, "The wings spread about two meters, and the body length is about one meter."

"It's so big!" The tourist exclaimed.

"There is no fuss. I remember that the largest kite in the Yanhuang Empire should be half a meter wide and 15 meters long. That's where it is." Lin Hao said.

After putting it on for a while, Lin Hao saw that it was getting late, so he started to take up the line.When the eagle kite landed, the tourist who had been staying beside him was stunned when he saw the kite Lin Hao had accepted.Because it was so realistic, if he hadn't seen the bamboo strips on the kite, he would have believed it was a real eagle.

"Do you still make kites? I'll buy one." The tourist said to Lin Hao.

"Okay, what do you want, I originally planned to make a few as a reward for the children. It doesn't matter if I make one more, but I don't have any extra kite strings here. If you want to fly a kite, you'd better prepare it yourself. "Lin Hao said to the tourists.

"I know. Can you help me make a phoenix-style kite that is one size smaller than yours? I'll buy it for 1000 yuan."

"Forget it, you can exchange this money for children's reading books and give it to me. Just do what you can. I don't want your kite money." Lin Hao said.
