"En, we can begin."
Zhang Feng nodded his head, then looked at Ma Zhou, "You two tie the iron wire to the silk, and tie the basket under the silk. Prepare to take off."
Ma Zhou and Ma Zhou nodded their heads. They were already familiar with this task, and it was not difficult at all. They completed it quickly and efficiently.
"Teacher, it's done."
Hao Chujun said as he held onto the iron wire.
Zhang Feng nodded his head. He stepped forward and pulled on the iron wire. After confirming that there was no problem, he glanced at Cheng Chumo and the others, "You guys go on this basket. Also, try putting five sandbags on it."
The sandbags were used to control the weight of the hot air balloon, making it easier to control the direction. Thus, they could not be careless.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Cheng Chumo jumped up three feet high, and with a fierce jump, he jumped up. If the basket was not placed on the ground, he suspected that he would have smashed a hole in it.
"Let's go too."
Du Gou and Zhangsun rushed up the basket as if they had gone crazy. They scrambled to be the first to reach the basket, as if they were afraid of falling behind.
As soon as the three of them got on the basket, they were like curious babies. They kept jumping around the basket, as if they were testing whether the basket was sturdy or not. How could the poor rattan basket withstand the destruction of these three fellows? It let out a series of miserable cries.
"Motherf * cker, what are you guys doing?"
Zhang Feng could not stand it anymore. He hurriedly stopped them, fearing that these fellows would break the basket.
"Feng Zi, we are just testing whether the basket is sturdy or not."
Cheng Chumo had a smile on his face, but his feet were still moving.
"Stop."
Zhang Feng shouted loudly, somewhat annoyed, "Even if the basket is sturdy, it will be ruined by you guys stepping on it so hard."
Hearing this, everyone stopped and stood still. However, Zhang Feng's reprimand did not extinguish the enthusiasm in their hearts.
"Feng Zi, hurry up and start. I can't wait any longer."
Cheng Chumo rubbed his hands as a glint flashed across his eyes.
Zhang Feng rolled his eyes at Cheng Chumo and did not reply. Instead, he walked up to the basket and stood with the three of them. Then, he looked at Ma Zhou and the others. "You guys check again. After confirming that there are no problems, untie the hemp rope tied to the green brick."
The two of them nodded and began to check. They did not find any problems.
"Teacher, everything is normal."
Hao Chujun replied with his head held high.
"Alright, you can untie the ropes now."
Zhang Feng nodded in satisfaction and placed his hand on the iron wire.
"Yes, teacher."
Hao Chujun bent down and began to untie the hemp rope. Because it was a slipknot, the hemp rope was easily untied.
The instant the lid was opened, the hot air balloon swayed slightly. Fortunately, it was on the ground. Otherwise, the four people in the basket might have staggered. The hot air balloon began to rise slowly. The speed was very slow, and one could feel the cold wind and chill in the air.
"It's rising. It's rising."
Du Gou waved his hands excitedly as if he had never seen the world before.
This was his first time in the sky. Everything in front of him was novel and beautiful. Of course, there was also a trace of pride. In the eyes of others, he was a famous playboy in the capital. He was ignorant and tyrannical. He only knew how to indulge in wine and women. Now, he had accomplished something that others could not. Although it was because of Feng Zi, it did not affect his pride at all.
Of course, he was not the only one with such thoughts. Zhangsun Chong was leaning on the edge of the basket and pointing into the distance. Excitement was written all over his face. "Yes, yes. Look over there."
"Look at the ground. Ma Zhou and the others are like ants. Hahaha."
Cheng Chumo lowered his head and looked down. He let out a burst of laughter and glanced at everyone from time to time. However, this feeling quickly disappeared because he remembered something. He was the first person in the sky. How could he be as ignorant as these guys? He clenched his right fist and put it to his mouth. He coughed twice and deliberately acted like a big brother. "Can the two of you calm down? If I knew, I wouldn't have let you guys come up."
As soon as his voice fell, a slap came.
"Why are you so noisy?"
Zhang Feng rolled his eyes at Cheng Chumo. "Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth when you talk big?"
It was not his first time in a hot air balloon, so this thing was not novel at all. It was just that these guys were really annoying.
"Feng Zi, it's not like I'm the only one talking."
Cheng Chumo rubbed his head and felt wronged. If they were on the ground, he might have already fought back. However, they were in the sky. Feng Zi was the only one here who knew about hot air balloons. If anything happened, everyone would be finished. Therefore, he did not dare to fight back.
"I know you're not the only one."
Zhang Feng replied casually. Then, he looked at Zhangsun Chong and Ma Zhou. "The two of you better behave. Don't make a fuss here. Otherwise, I'll throw you down later."
After saying that, he did not look at the two's reaction. He sat in the basket and took out a cigarette from his waist. Just as he was about to take out a lighter to light it, he remembered that hydrogen was more flammable. He simply put down the cigarette and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the sky.
