ancient female doctor

Chapter 255 Test Flight ([-])

After breakfast, Qingzhu went to the pre-selected practice venue with Princess Anle.

It was still a mighty group of people, but this time the main personnel were not Princess Anle's personal guards, but people selected from the various groups that made hot air balloons, and those who had been selected in advance and had a light body. female soldiers.A group of people were riding horses, followed by several carriages, which were filled with various things: rattan baskets, cloth balls, stoves, kerosene, windmills and so on.

This group of people walked eastward after leaving the camp, where there was a river beach, which was delineated by Princess Anle early in the morning, and even the residents there were temporarily relocated.

The reason why it is said to be temporary is because Princess Anle only requisitioned a piece of land for a short period of time, so he gave them money and food, and asked them to either go to their relatives, or rent a house in the market town for two months.

Because the owner of Anle County has enough money and food, those residents are grateful to go.

Of course, there are those who don't want to leave.Some were afraid that they would not be able to come back once they left, and some wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more money and food.

For the former type of people, there will naturally be someone to persuade them, and if the persuasion fails, they will use knives to frighten them. Generally, such people will move.

As for the latter kind of people, naturally someone will teach them what it means to be a new person, and Princess Anle won't bother.

The group of people walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the place, and at this moment, in fact, it was just after [-] o'clock, and it was still very early.

When they arrived at the river beach, the group got busy. Under the guidance of Qingzhu, they tied the hemp rope sewn on the cloth ball to the specially thickened rattan ring on the rattan basket according to the length measured in advance. above.

The cloth bag was spread evenly on the river beach, and a thread of appropriate thickness at the top was connected to the pulley of the wooden tower erected in advance.

The stove was lifted and placed in the middle of the rattan basket, and inside the rattan basket, a pile of stones that had been weighed beforehand was placed, and a lot of ropes were hung on the outer edge of the rattan basket. , What is connected under the rope is also a piece of stone.

This time, the four windmills were also lifted from the carriage and pushed to the side of the cloth bag together.

After all the preparations were done, everyone looked at Princess Anle, waiting for her order.

Regarding this matter, Princess Anle is still a little nervous. After all, this is different from the past. No matter how much she marched, fought and gave orders in the past, most of them were within the range she knew, and even if it was unknown, it was completely conceivable. of.

But this time, it was to make people fly into the sky, so her hand holding the whip trembled for the first time.

Qing Zhu stood next to Princess Anle, saw Princess Anle's reaction, and frowned slightly in her heart.At this time, if Princess Anle was nervous, wouldn't the person in charge of the test be even more nervous?

There was no time to think too much, Qingzhu just looked at Princess Anle, and said in a low voice: "Princess, let's start." While speaking, he gently shook Princess Anle's hand.

Princess Anle glanced at Qingzhu, saw encouragement in her eyes, gritted her teeth, waved the hand holding the whip, and said, "Start!"

As soon as Princess Anle finished speaking, the people who had stood still in front of the blower early in the morning began to throw off their arms and shake the blower.

The wind blew out from the windmill and poured it into the cloth bag, blowing up the cloth bag little by little.Near the rattan basket, a petite female soldier wearing only neat clothes and no armor was about to step on a stool and step into the rattan basket.

How did she know that she couldn't get into the rattan basket that wasn't too high even after she stepped on it several times in a row, and she was finally helped in by someone.

As soon as she entered, she pulled the other end of a short hemp rope tied to the rattan basket and tied it around her waist.

After tying the rope, the female soldier standing in the rattan basket was finally able to straighten her legs, but the posture of supporting the rattan basket was quite uncomfortable to watch.

Seeing such a situation, Qing Zhu couldn't help shaking his head.

How could I be able to complete the next test if I was so afraid...

However, although she was worried in her heart, Qingzhu didn't really shake her head, because at this moment, the most important thing is to give people some confidence.

Therefore, Qingzhu didn't show anything.

After all, a simple windmill cannot be compared with a modern blower. It took almost half an hour for the four windmills to shake together to blow the cloth ball completely. At this time, the wheel under the wooden tower also shook, and the cloth ball The ball was slowly pulled up, and finally it was pulled straight above the rattan basket.

During this process, the person holding the blower blower also aimed the blower at the cloth ball, and continued blowing towards you from bottom to top.

"It's time to light the fire." Qingzhu stood beside Princess Anle and reminded in a low voice.

"Light it up!" Princess Anle also shouted in a deep voice when she heard Qingzhu's reminder.

At this time, someone lit a torch with a torch and handed it to the person in the rattan basket.

The person in the rattan basket took the torch tremblingly, and lit it on the ignition plate for a long time, but the fire was not lit.Not only that, but because she was too nervous, she directly dropped the torch on the ground. If she hadn't picked it up quickly, and the rattan basket and green bamboo had also been specially ordered not to soak it in tung oil, otherwise, the rattan basket would be on fire immediately. Woke up.

Seeing this situation, Qingzhu couldn't stand anymore, and walked to the side of the rattan basket, and at the same time ordered loudly: "The windmill should be shaken harder, and continue to blow for me."

Qing Zhu walked to the side of the rattan basket, looked at the female soldier and said, "Come out."

"Xia, Doctor Xia..." The female soldier was already very nervous, but she became even more nervous when she saw Qingzhu approaching, she didn't hear what Qingzhu said at all, she just stammered and shouted while looking at Qingzhu.

Seeing this situation, Qingzhu took a deep breath, tried to make her face look more pleasant, and her voice sounded softer, then looked at the female soldier and said again: "You hand out the torch first, and then from the vine out of the basket."

"But..." When the female soldier heard Qingzhu's words this time, her heart beat even more.

"I said, let you come out, can't you hear me?" Seeing this situation, Qingzhu became anxious. The cloth ball had been hanging all the time. Although there was a blower to blow it, it was heavy after all and would sink. If it deforms, or if something else goes wrong, then this hot air balloon will become a problem hot air balloon.At that time, it would be a waste of one not to say, and it would delay the time of practice, so when he spoke again, his face would not be so pretty, and his tone would become much heavier.

"Oh, yes..." The female soldier nodded tremblingly, handed the torch to the person who gave her the torch before, and went to untie the hemp rope herself. How could she know that her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't even I couldn't untie the hemp rope tied around my waist.

Seeing this situation, Qingzhu became even more anxious, and almost couldn't hold back the swearing.

At this time, Princess Anle also came over, without saying a word, with a swipe, drew out the dagger hanging from his waist.
