Zhangsun Chong and Du Gou were not to be outdone. They stepped forward and quickly cleaned up the hot-air balloon.
All of a sudden, the hot-air balloon rose a few meters as the heavy objects were thrown down. At this time, another gust of wind hit. The hot-air balloon began to sway with the wind and drifted toward Chang 'an.
Cheng Chumo was so happy that he jumped up and down. He seemed to have forgotten that he was hungry. "Fengzi, how long will it take for us to return to Chang 'an like this?"
He missed the braised meat, roasted chicken, good wine, and the girls in the brothel in Chang 'an very much. He couldn't wait to go back to Chang' an. The days in the hot-air balloon were really not for humans. There was nothing he wanted, not even a bottle of wine. There were only a few men, and they had stayed there for a few more days. If they stayed there for a few more days, he reckoned that he would be driven crazy.
He was not the only one who had this thought. Du Gou and Zhangsun Chong also had this thought. Especially Zhangsun Chong, this guy was used to wandering around Chang 'an City. He ate, drank, and gambled every day. Although he had changed after meeting Zhang Feng, after experiencing life and death this time, he missed Chang' an even more. He didn't miss anything else, but the girls in the brothel.
Without me, you must have had a hard time.
Don't worry, when I go back this time, I will make it up to you.
Thinking of this, his face was full of lewd smiles.
Zhang Feng scoffed at all of this, especially when he saw the lewd smiles on everyone's faces. He felt a chill run down his spine. "Alright, stop having lewd thoughts. I reckon we'll be back in Chang 'an in less than two days. If the wind gets stronger, it'll be even faster."
When everyone heard this, they seemed to be more excited and cheered.
The sky seemed to have heard everyone's cheers. A gust of wind blew again, and this time the wind was stronger than the previous one.
The hot-air balloon kept floating in the air and sped up. Soon, they were out of the desert.
Sure enough, as Zhang Feng said, the speed increased when the wind was stronger.
A day later, they saw the outline of Chang 'an City.
This time, Cheng Chumo was surprisingly diligent. He did not sleep. When he saw that Chang 'an was already in sight, he quickly patted the sleepy Zhang Feng. "Fengzi, we're almost at Chang' an. Wake up quickly."
Zhang Feng turned over and ignored Cheng Chumo. He thought to himself, Since we've arrived, why are you making such a fuss?
Seeing that Zhang Feng did not respond, Cheng Chumo woke up Zhangsun Chong and Du Gou. When the two of them heard that Chang 'an was here, they immediately stood up and surrounded the railing to admire the scenery of Chang' an.
At this moment, they felt that the scenery in Chang 'an had never been so beautiful.
There was no other reason. This was how they felt after surviving a disaster.
People were like this. When there was no danger, they would always feel that everything around them was not pleasing to the eye. However, once they experienced life and death, they would instantly feel that everything around them was so beautiful and even precious.
Now, the three of them had such thoughts. They had experienced what they thought was life and death. Now, looking at Chang 'an was a new scene. It was as if they thought that Chang' an was their mother and they had finally returned to their mother's embrace.
They looked at each other and their throats twitched. They hugged each other tightly as if they were about to cry.
At this moment, the hot-air balloon suddenly swayed and began to descend rapidly.
The three of them seemed to have noticed that something was wrong. They quickly let go and leaned over the railing to look down.
It did not matter if they looked down. A strong gust of wind blew from below. It was as if air was being pumped into their faces, causing their faces to distort.
Cheng Chumo quickly reached out to steady his face and continued to look down. However, he only saw the surrounding clouds. The objects underground seemed to be moving faster. This scared him out of his wits. He quickly shouted, "Hurry up and think of a way. What do we do now?"
After saying that, he strode toward Zhang Feng. However, he realized that he had only taken half a step when his body tilted. He could only shout at Zhang Feng, "Feng Zi, hurry up and think of a way!"
Zhang Feng had not been asleep all this time. He had also noticed the swaying just now. His first reaction was that there was a problem with the hydrogen. His mind was working quickly. Cheng Chumo shouted, which made him angry. "You are so damn noisy …"
Halfway through his words, there was a whoosh. The hot-air balloon suddenly shriveled.
Everyone's expression changed because they all knew that the hot-air balloon was supported by the air inside. Now that the air had leaked, wasn't that …
Therefore, they quickly grabbed the iron wire and tried to find a way to survive.
However, how could they withstand the pressure of the descent?
The feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit them. Everyone fell to the ground.
For a moment, screams were heard everywhere.
It was as if the silent sky had been composed into a wonderful movement.
Cheng Chumo looked panicked. He stretched out his arm and tried to grab Zhangsun to give himself some buffer.
Zhangsun was not stupid. He stretched out his arms. Then, Du Gou also stretched out his arms. The three of them hugged each other tightly.
Zhang Feng was the last to descend. Therefore, he was above the three of them. When he saw the three of them hugging each other tightly and ignoring him, he was instantly furious. He did not care about his unrecognizable face and shouted, "Bastard, wait for me!"
