Chapter 53

Shen Yuexi didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to make such a move, the cool sleeves touched her face lightly.Her heart was pounding, and they were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

She didn't know if it was the hot weather or the other party's light heat sprayed on her face, she suddenly felt her face was on fire, and she didn't dare to look at Xiao Zhuo in front of her.

After the two separated for a while, Shen Yuexi still felt a little palpitating when they met again.

Xiao Zhuo glanced darkly at Shen Yuexi, whose face was flushed, and asked her softly, "What do you buy so much linen for?"

The voice is still the same clear, but it is rare to feel a spring breeze bathing in it, making people slightly smoked.

When Shen Yuexi was asked by Xiao Zhuo, she remembered that there were still many things to do. She immediately stood up and said to Xiao Zhuo:

"I'm going to make a big balloon. We can take that balloon out of town. If we're lucky, we might be able to reach the frontier directly."

"What's a balloon?"

Xiao Zhuo's expression rarely showed a hint of doubt, perhaps in his cognition, those weird things that came out of Shen Yuexi's mouth were unprecedented things.

Shen Yuexi frowned, and said with a smile: "It's the kind of thing that can fly into the sky, like a wishing lamp, but it's much bigger than that."

She also gestured with her hand.

There were no balloons in ancient times, but there were wishing lamps similar to Kongming lanterns.

After Shen Yuexi said this, Xiao Zhuoming nodded.It seems that he is quite interested in Shen Yuexi's unexpected idea.

Xiao Zhuo looked at Shen Yuexi with warmer eyes, Shen Yuexi frowned at him, and said with a smile: "But I still need some things for the kind of balloon I want to make, I will go to the market to buy some later, we will separate Action, you go and buy some paper, I'll go and buy a bamboo basket, by the way, I need to buy more, it's best to buy a bundle."

Xiao Zhuo just listened to Shen Yuexi's words quietly, sipping tea from time to time, without interrupting her at all, appearing extremely elegant.

Shen Yuexi gave Xiao Zhuo 30 taels of silver. Ancient paper was very expensive, so she tried to give Xiao Zhuo as much silver as possible.

Xiao Zhuo glanced at the silver stuffed in his hand, but did not make any move, but went to the table and poured a cup of tea for Shen Yuexi.

"Let's take a break first, there is no rush," Xiao Zhuo pulled her to sit down, "have some tea before going out."

The sun outside was not too hot, they had already walked westward, and it was much cooler than in Daliang Village.

Shen Yuexi took the tea and took a few sips, but still couldn't sit still, and ran to the street.

She wanted to buy things back quickly and let Da Xiong finish them before Xiao Zhuo came back.

She soon found the bamboo basket under the hot air balloon in a place with bamboo, and Daxiong quickly made the bamboo basket, but it was relatively large and it was too eye-catching on the street.She had no choice but to find someone to pay two taels of silver to send the hanging basket back to the inn.

When passing by the winery, she went in and bought dozens of jars of wine for refining ethanol.

The boss who bought the wine saw that Shen Yuexi, a girl, wanted to buy more than a dozen jars of wine at once, his eyes almost popped out.

In the past, those rough men came to buy wine, even if they bought a lot, it was only two or three jars. When Shen Yuexi came, he only asked the price, and bought more than a dozen jars in one go.

The shopkeeper was taken aback, so he asked again: "Young lady really want to buy these?"

Seeing his strange gaze, Shen Yuexi didn't understand what this man was thinking, but she couldn't understand that she was holding this to make ethanol fuel, so she had to laugh dryly.

"There is a happy event at home, maybe these are not enough."

Shen Yuexi told the truth, let Daxiong refine the wine, in fact, there will not be much fuel, but it can handle it, but it should be enough for her and Xiao Zhuo to escape Liangzhou.

When the shopkeeper heard it, he smiled clearly: "I see."

After paying the money, Shen Yuexi started to worry again when she saw the table full of more than a dozen jars of wine. She only thought about buying it, but didn't think about how to transport it back.

After collecting the money, the shopkeeper at the side looked at Shen Yuexi with a troubled face, and offered to propose: "There is someone in my shop, I'll ask someone to deliver the wine to you for you, what do you think?"

The shopkeeper, who had earned a fortune, was in a very good mood at this moment. In his opinion, this small favor was not worth mentioning, so he hurriedly called the servants in the backyard to help.

After Shen Yuexi thanked the shopkeeper repeatedly, she returned to the inn with the servants who delivered the wine together.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhuo has not come back yet.

Shen Yuexi hurriedly contacted the universal manufacturing machine.

"Call Big Bear and make me a hot air balloon ball."

She can do the rest by herself, so that Xiao Zhuo will not be suspicious, although sometimes she has vaguely guessed that Xiao Zhuo may have doubts, but as long as he does not ask, she will pretend not to know .

A huge sphere appeared in front of her eyes, the size of a house, and the power should be enough.

She looked at the air inlet of the hot air balloon, and asked the universal machine to refine the alcohol she bought into ethanol.

Not bad, there are four bottles in total, enough.

As long as the hanging basket and the balloon are connected together, this simple hot air balloon is ready.

Of course, I still have to wait for Xiao Zhuo to come back and paste those papers.

The time when Xiao Zhuo went out this time was somewhat unexpected to Shen Yuexi, she thought he would come back soon, but after she connected the hanging basket to the balloon, she still didn't see Xiao Zhuo.

After finishing these tasks, she stood up, opened the window of the house and looked out at the street outside.

The street was still full of people and traffic, Shen Yuexi frowned, feeling a little worried.

After looking for a long time, he still couldn't see him.

Could it be that something unexpected happened to Xiao Zhuo?Was identified?

She fidgeted and walked up and down the room, the sky gradually darkened, Xiao Zhuo still did not come back.

She decided not to wait, and wanted to go outside to find someone herself.

Big Bear has already refined the ethanol, put it in four wine jars, and put it in the hanging basket.

Shen Yuexi rolled up the hot air balloon and put it together with the hanging basket, and was going to leave the inn after midnight to look for Xiao Zhuo outside.

After two hasty bites of food, everyone in the inn rested, and Shen Yuexi walked out with the hanging basket.

The hanging basket is really not light.

Shen Yuexi walked extremely hard, carrying the huge hot air balloon on her thin shoulders.

It's just that when she just stepped out of the inn, she met Xiao Zhuo who was busy with the world.

Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo who was walking towards her in surprise, he was carrying a large bundle of papers on his back.

"Why have you been there for so long? I thought something happened to you and I was going to find you." Shen Yuexi put down the hanging basket and rubbed her shoulders.

Xiao Zhuo came slowly, his deep eyes fell on her face, and he seemed to see that she was fine, so he put down the paper, his expression calmed down, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone is chasing, we have to hurry up leave."

When Shen Yuexi heard that they were being watched, her heart arose.

The hot air balloon is not finished yet, only the last step is left, and this matter cannot be delayed.

While opening the paper, she said to Xiao Zhuo: "Give me half an hour, and I will definitely make this thing."
