Li Yuan carefully placed a small kite flat on his palm and handed the end of the string to He Xiaomiao.
"Wait for my command. When I say run, run east. Let's see if you can fly the first kite in your life!”
He Xiaomiao nodded seriously.
Li Yuan used both hands to push the kite to the highest point, then took a few steps back and straightened the kite string.
The bright sunlight shone on him, making him look bright and straight.
The wind wasn't strong, and it was almost windless.
Li Yuan had no choice but to stand there and wait for a while. Only when there was a breeze did he begin to give the order.
"Now, run!"
He Xiaomiao was like a frightened little lamb, running forward quickly.
His right hand, which was holding her hand in advance, was raised above her head without moving.
With the pull of the string, the small kite quickly left Li Yuan's hand.
The colorful little swallows immediately flew up and down on the lawn.
The little girl turned around to take a look, and her face was immediately filled with excitement.
"Wow! It really flew!"
She seemed to be encouraged and wanted to start speeding up. However, he had short arms and legs. He did not pay attention to his feet and tripped, falling flat on his face…
The little girl was not annoyed. She patted her butt and stood up, sighing regretfully.
"I was so close just now!"
"There's still a lot of room left, okay?" Li Yuan was speechless.
"When you come back later, you have to run while releasing the line. He wanted to put the kite high up so that there would be more wind to maintain it…Hey, He Damiao, are you even listening?”
The little girl was obviously distracted. She turned around and looked in the direction of the tent.
An old man and a middle-aged man stood beside the tent that had just been set up, explaining something to Xiao Qiu.
To be precise, it was Sister Qiu who was reprimanding them. The two of them lowered their heads and listened. It looked like a strict teacher criticizing a student who was causing trouble…
"Brother Yuanyuan, what are they talking about over there?”
"You still have time to care about others. Do your own things first! Do you want me to fly the kite first before giving it to you?”
"No!" He Xiaomiao refused without hesitation.
Xiao Xiao's eyes were once again filled with seriousness and passion.
"Alright, let's try again…Wait, run!”
He Xiaomiao once again started to sprint forward on her short legs…
The drone's camera slowly rotated beside her, clearly recording her hard work.
The live broadcast room was filled with praises again.
"Little Sister Xiaomiao is really tenacious. She didn't give up after failing and even insisted on flying the kite herself. This kind of child was already rare nowadays!”
"Exactly! That little bastard of ours is always in high spirits no matter what he does. As long as he failed once, he would lose interest. Compared to Little Sister Xiaomiao, the difference was like heaven and earth!”
"Who wouldn't like such a sensible, obedient, and strong girl? No wonder Brother Yuan nags about her every day!”
"It makes me want to have a daughter too…"
Although He Xiaomiao had worked hard enough, she was still too young to grasp the trick so quickly.
He tried two more times, but both ended in failure.
The little girl wanted to continue, but Li Yuan saw that she was already sweating profusely, so he promptly set a restraining order to let her rest.
Ling Fei had already finished being scolded. He carried a box and walked over to greet Li Yuan.
"Li Yuan!"
"Senior Brother Ling."
The two of them had already exchanged their names, and now they were officially acquainted. Li Yuan himself did not expect that the people following him would be a Peking opera master and his disciple…
"You only brought a little sand swallow?”
"No, there's still a big one beside me!”
Ling Fei looked in the direction of the other party's finger. As expected, he saw a big kite that was two to three meters long flying on the lawn beside him.
Although this one was also in the shape of a sand swallow kite, it was obviously much thicker and more exquisite.
However, Ling Fei was obviously not interested.
"Come, look at mine!"
He said as if he was showing off. Then, he opened the box and took out the kite materials from inside. He began to assemble them.
Li Yuan could tell its origin at a glance.
"Thousand-Legged Centipede? This must be the work of Kite Wu from Liulichang!”
Ling Fei was a little surprised.”
"There are quite a few kite families in the country who can make this kind of big kite, but the characteristics of each person are different.”
"Wu Kite from Liulichang in the 49th City likes to use expensive materials and looks majestic. Wang Kite from Weifang, Qilu, was skilled in technique and had more variations in style.”
"All in all, their characteristics are quite obvious. It's not difficult to identify them.”
Ling Fei was stunned and gave him a thumbs up."You're amazing, Li Yuan. I'm a kite player, but I don't know as much as you do!”
Li Yuan did not take it seriously and continued to speak to the live broadcast room,""Everyone, don't think that flying a kite is just an insignificant skill. However, to these kite families, it was actually treated as a piece of art!”
"Take Wu Kite from Beijing for example. Because of its exquisite craftsmanship, it has won gold medals at international expositions more than once.”
"Due to historical reasons, the four pieces of the first generation of Wu kites were snatched by the New York Museum. One was the lotus gourd, one was the top of the incense burner, and the other two were Zhong Kui and Shuang Yu.”
"It can be kept in a museum for decades for tourists from all over the world to appreciate. How much artistic value is there? You can taste it yourself!”
Li Yuan's eloquence immediately caused the netizens in the live broadcast room to exclaim.
"F * ck! He didn't expect such a huge history to be hidden in a small kite!”
"You can even explain the origins of a kite so clearly. How vast is Brother Yuan 'er's knowledge?”
"This kind of ability that comes out of nowhere is really admirable!”
"What a joke! Our Brother Yuan Er is a walking encyclopedia!”
“……”
As he spoke, Ling Fei had already assembled the centipede that was more than ten meters long.
After some pulling, the thousand-legged centipede slowly rose into the air…
PS: The four kites in the museum in real life were actually Ha's. In the text, they were replaced by Wu kites.
The part about flying a kite was slightly longer. However, if one looked closely, there was actually a shadow of a kite pulling forward in each chapter.
Now, it was time to gather and display them. The Ultimate Sand Swallow was about to appear!
Finally, votes!
