I Became an Old Man in My Leisure Time

Chapter 183 Kite, Wen Zong Comes Out

Xiao Man laughed, hugged him and kissed him, snatched the bamboo snake and swung it around.

Gu Ke had a strange expression: Wait, when did this guy learn to be kind to his family?

Although Xiao Man and him were familiar with each other, where did he learn these things? He had never done this before.

His eyes turned to Saranzhu, and saw her winking with a smile: Okay, she must have taught me.

Shaking his head, Gu Ke didn't say anything. It wasn't a loss, so he just had to bear it.

Saranzhu came over: "I want one too."

Gu Ke looked at Xiao Ping'er, who was staring at the bamboo snake in Xiao Man's hand with an uncomfortable expression.

This thing is called a toy, but it really looks a bit like a snake when it twists.

There are so many children who were scared to tears by it. It's not an exaggeration to say that it is a childhood shadow for some people.

At least Gu Ke didn't like this kind of toy in his previous life-of course, he didn't like snakes either, and he felt uncomfortable looking at them.

"You want this too?" He couldn't help asking.

Saranzhu shook her head: "Just change it, as long as it's different."

Whatever? That usually means that you can't just do it casually. Gu Ke scratched his head and looked up at the sky: Wait, it's sunny and breezy in spring...

He laughed: "Xiaoman, stop playing, I'll teach you how to make new toys."

Xiaoman instantly put the bamboo snake in front of his chest and rushed over: "Are there new toys?"

He smiled and nodded: "Yes, and they are very simple. I will do it once, and you can make more styles by yourself."

Cross two long and short bamboo strips, the short bamboo strips are the beams, and the long bamboo strips are the spine.

The cross point divides the beam equally, and the ratio of the spine is about 1 head and 2 tails, and the cross point is fixed with a line.

Take a diamond-shaped paper, and fix the four points of the diamond on the four points of the cross of the bamboo strip.

Tie the two points on the left and right with thin and long paper strips as side wings, and add two tails to the tail as tail wings.

Finally, use a line to connect the two ends of the short bamboo strips and the cross intersection, and the simplest kite or paper kite is ready.

Taking out a ball of fine hemp thread and tying it to the line connected to the short bamboo strips, Gu Ke raised the kite and ran slowly.

His mind observed the direction of the breeze, always ensuring that the kite was on the windward side.

In just a dozen breaths, this minimalist paper kite flew up to ten feet in the air, swaying leisurely from side to side.

The two side wings and two tail wings trembled lightly in the wind, as cheerful as the little fish in the water.

Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and she came to his side unconsciously, launching a close attack: "Old Gu, this looks fun."

Gu Ke had expected it, and directly stuffed the ball of thread in his hand to her: "Here, play with it."

He was not too keen on flying kites, and it only took him a short half day to fly a kite a few kilometers away, the kind that even the small black dot could not be seen.

In the end, he thought it was too time-consuming to reel in the line, so he simply didn't want the two reels of line he had released, and just cut them and ran away.

This is actually the biggest misunderstanding of flying a kite.

The fun of flying a kite lies in trying every possible way to get it off the ground.

The second is to manipulate it and make it roll in the air, like an aerial acrobatics scene.

It is meaningless to let out the string like he did, without even seeing where the kite is.

After giving the kite to Xiaoman, he walked to the side and told Xiaoping'er and Saranzhu, who had already started, about other kite styles.

There are many styles of kites. The simplest version is a diamond - the one Xiaoman took, also known as a board kite, commonly known as "fart curtain" and "idiot".

There are also triangular kites that are close to hang gliders (sports kites).

Slightly more complex ones include swallow, butterfly, and phoenix kites.

Even more spectacular are string kites, including the classic string swallow kite and the centipede dragon head kite.

Since Xiaoman has played idiots and fart curtains, Xiaoping'er and the others will not repeat it, after all, the structure is too simple and there is no difficulty.

So, under Gu Ke's instructions, Saranzhu made a swallow kite, and also used the pen to draw a more...abstract swallow pattern.

Xiao Ping'er made a bird shape, and Gu Ke drew an eagle pattern for her.

Of course, this can also draw a phoenix pattern, but the problem is that he can't draw a phoenix.

In order to avoid being pointed at by Xiaoman and called a hen, it is more reliable to make an eagle.

At least the one with a hook on its mouth is definitely not a chicken.

With the help of Saranzhu's mind and the precise sunflower blood, the two of them made their own kites in just a moment.

Take the ball of fine hemp thread and take advantage of the midday breeze to rise into the sky.

Except for a little swaying at the beginning, it seems stable later.

But Gu Ke knows that Xiao Ping'er relies on sunflower blood to sense and adjust the windward side.

This is her strong point, between normal operation and cheating.

Saranzhu's swallow kite was not very good, it was top-heavy and always wanted to fall down.

She simply used her mind to lift the kite upwards, pure cheating.

But Xiaoman didn't know that, she saw that their kites were better looking than her stupid fart curtain, and she was immediately anxious.

She rushed to his side in a hurry: "Old Gu, hurry up, teach me to make a more beautiful one, at least not worse than Ah Zhu's."

Gu Ke laughed and shook his head when he heard it: "Who told you to run so fast just now."

Under his guidance, Xiaoman quickly made a bird-shaped kite.

Gu Ke was lazy and drew an eagle again, but it was not as abstract as the first one just now.

Xiaoman was very happy and started to fly the kite.

Then... the eagle kite spun and plunged down, but it crashed in a second.

Fortunately, she was quick enough to catch it before it crashed and saved it.

It took off again, and then the eagle kite crashed again.

It took off again, and the eagle kite spiraled down for the third time.

(⊙﹏⊙)? ? ? Xiaoman: "Ah~~~~"

She didn't give up and carefully observed Saranzhu for a moment, and then she found the trick: "Damn Ah Zhu, you actually cheated?"

She changed the subject: "I can do it too."

As she said that, she also wrapped the eagle kite with blood and energy, and directly rose to a height of dozens of feet, and then let go of the control.

The eagle kite spun and fell again, but this time it took a lot longer to fall.

Xiaoman was a martial arts master after all, and she also found the "Cheating Book", so she cheated and adjusted at the same time.

The poor eagle kite went straight up, then spiraled down, hovering between the sky and the earth, never able to fall into the arms of either side.

Gu Ke smiled and took himself a cup of hot tea, sipped it quietly, and watched silently.

Playing, failure and success are fun, why bother to disturb them.

Look at the three girls now, aren't they all laughing and having fun? If they succeeded once, the feeling of happiness would be more than half.

With the new toys, the three girls had a lot of fun today, and it was obvious that they would play more than just one day.

In the next few days, the kites they played with were changed several times, and the structure of the bamboo strips and the distribution of the paper were much more reasonable.

Xiaoman and Saranzhu no longer had to cheat, and the kite could rise steadily.

Gu Ke stopped helping and let them play.

The shaman duo was too energetic, one did not need to practice martial arts, and the other's strength increased very fast, so they had to try to slow down the training speed.

If they are not given something to do, they will really make a scene.

Even so, Xiaoman's methods of acting like a spoiled child have been increasing day by day, and she has become more and more clingy.

He is not afraid of being taken advantage of, but being taken advantage of in front of Saranzhu and Xiaoping'er always feels like being watched.

He simply hides a little further away and removes himself from Saranzhu's detection range to avoid being watched in vain.

This is not difficult to do.

He is the owner of the highest authority in the cave, and Saranzhu's divine sense detection ability also comes from him.

He wants to be "invisible" in his own cave and divine sense, but it's just a thought.

Saranzhu did not protest.

Since she woke up, Gu Ke no longer used divine sense to casually detect her.

This is a kind of respect, and respect is mutual.

This spring day, Xiaoman is the happiest person in the valley.

Unlike Xiaoping'er who was scared away by watching the "vr movie", she and Saranzhu are "in cahoots".

During the day, I practiced martial arts, worked, and flew kites. At night, I used my divine thoughts to go to Liangshan Village to watch the excitement. I didn't want to live a full life.

Liangshan Village is the actual controller of hundreds of miles, and its influence is thousands of miles.

The population of the main village and its sub-village is 10,000 to 20,000, and there are tens of thousands of peripheral villages that are influenced by it and obey its orders.

Many villages took the opportunity of the Sowing Festival to send people to the main village.

Some went to visit with gifts to ensure friendly relations.

Some brought goods to trade and exchange what they have.

Some brought their own descendants to find a suitable in-law, to form an alliance and help each other.

The teams with all of the above purposes are the most.

In the depths of the Nanye Mountains, there is not much communication with the outside world, and many villages were originally very poor.

After Liangshan Village spread the seeds of different species and martial arts, the basic food and clothing was greatly alleviated, and many villages even had food reserves.

But various living supplies are still scarce.

Due to geographical and inherited craftsmanship, most individual villages only produce one or two of the following: silkworm breeding, cloth, fur, utensils, medicine, salt, seasoning, etc. Not everything can be self-sufficient.

Before you are full, these needs can be reduced and suppressed.

After you are full, you can practice martial arts, so who doesn't want to live a better life.

Liangshan Village, which is the strongest and dominates everything, naturally becomes the most suitable distribution center.

Villages thousands of miles away will even set off in advance to participate in this event.

Even if it is dangerous, it is necessary.

Because Liangshan Village will spread foreign seeds and various martial arts for free, although they have always been the same ones, they will never keep them private.

This is too important for the villages that are isolated from the outside world and have no access to martial arts.

Over time, the sowing festival on March 3rd every year has changed from the original longest ten days to a large-scale "exchange meeting" lasting one month.

In contrast, the activities of worshiping the ancestor Shennong on March 3rd are the most formal, and other things are not enough to shake its importance.

After this event, other negotiations, transactions, and marriages began one after another.

In other words, although the three women saw many people when they first "wandered" in Liangshan Village, it was not the most lively scene.

Their hometowns were either in the Far North, or in the small villages of Beimo Country and Xihuang Country.

When they set up stalls, they either encountered ghosts or monsters. Where have they seen such a lively scene with a crowd of people?

In the next month, they opened their eyes.

Even if Xiao Ping'er insisted on not watching the "midnight show" and just went shopping, she could still feel cheerful and happy.

After all, in Liangshan Village this month, the villagers who came and went were full of hope for the future, and their high-spirited temperament could not be concealed.

Even if they were just watching, it made people feel lively.

In this way, the days passed quietly, and it came to June of the 514th year of Dawu.

After months of studying martial arts, Gu Ke felt that he had "accomplished his magic" and finally came out of retreat.

After dinner that day, everyone was enjoying the cool air by the big lake at the foot of the mountain. He said to the three women: "Tonight is the time for Wen Zong to come out of retreat."

Xiao Man, who was eating shaved ice next to him, turned her head curiously and said, "Old Gu, you finally decided to use this Wen Zong. Is he very powerful?"

Gu Ke thought about it and shook his head: "This should be considered a gentleman. Fighting and killing does not suit my temperament. I have to rely on you."

Xiao Man was stunned: "In order to play this Wen Zong, you read books for several months and even accompanied me to research the new dishes. Time is running out, that's it? "

Gu Ke was a little speechless, stretched out his hand to pinch her chubby face and rubbed it: "What do you mean that's it! Do what you love, understand?"

Xiao Man shook her head honestly: "I don't understand."

Gu Ke held his forehead with his hand and changed the way he said: "Let the outside world know that there is a Wen Zong in addition to Shennong and Tiangong in Xianshan, then they will think that there are more powerful people in Xianshan, you must understand this, right?"

Xiao Man understood and nodded repeatedly: "So that's it, I understand."

Xiao Ping'er smiled and said nothing, and Saranzhu looked up at the sky speechlessly.

They were bystanders and knew that this might be one of the reasons, but it was definitely not as important as he said.

It's just that someone has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, saying that he loves what he does, but in fact he just wants to act like one.

But this is also quite interesting, and they will not tear him down.

As for Xiao Man being fooled? Haha, she was fooled by him every day.

The two of them were willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten, and they were enjoying it.

That night, the stars were across the sky, reflecting the lake.

The four of them slept in two adjacent huts by the lake at the foot of the mountain.

Sister Bai was also assigned to another hut next to it.

Even if they couldn't set up the stall together, they couldn't always leave her alone on the peak.

Gu Ke listened to the faint laughter of Saranzhu and Xiaoman and the sound of fists hitting from next door, and reluctantly raised his body and said to the window beside the couch: "Hey, it's time to start work, haven't you two had enough?"

The fighting sound in the window a few feet away paused, and then the two shamans lowered their voices and accused each other of "starting a war."

Xiao Ping'er's voice came: "They are all lying down, Brother Gu."

Gu Ke then lay back, adjusted to the most comfortable supine position, closed his eyes, and chose to set up the stall in a certain direction.

Use the Wen Zong character card, choose the direction east, and a random big city.

The system prompts: "The location of this stall is Lanwan Island in Nanye Country. The projection time limit is 2 and 3/4 hours."

In a flash, it is already another world.

Landwan Island is located at the southernmost tip of Nanye Country. It is a big city integrating fishing, ports, trade, logging and shipbuilding.

Its terrain is quite peculiar.

It was originally a mountain near the bay. As a result of geological changes, the surrounding lowlands were flooded with seawater and it became an island.
