Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

"what"

The other party subconsciously let out a cry of surprise, which startled everyone and made them widen their eyes suddenly, "Xiao Cao? What are you doing here?"

Xiaocao felt a little embarrassed about being caught. He opened his mouth but said nothing. He just looked at Lin Xiaoyue aggrievedly.

Everyone could see that the meaning of Xiaocao's unfinished words was self-evident. Lin Xiaoyue was also having a headache. She didn't expect that this girl would follow everyone silently all the way up the mountain.

If you want to be with her, just say it directly.

...Of course, she may not agree even if I tell her.

It was just that they were in the wilderness, and they had already been running for more than an hour on the mountain. Even if they didn't want Xiaocao to continue following them, it was impossible for her, a little girl, to go back alone. Lin Xiaoyue was still worried.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoyue decided to take Xiaocao with her to carry out the mission. As for this girl who was disobedient and didn't stay at the farm in the middle of the night, sneaking up the mountain, she would punish her later.

Xiaocao had been discovered and was worried about being sent back. But when she heard what Lin Xiaoyue had said, she jumped for joy and clung to Lin Xiaoyue, acting coquettishly as much as she could.

The guards were speechless. Girl, have you forgotten that our princess is a woman? Even if you pull her so tightly, she can't become a man. Or do you want to turn her into a lesbian?

The guards felt uncomfortable, but they also knew what not to say, otherwise they would definitely be beaten by the princess.

You must be kidding. The princess has that kind of strength. Most people can't afford it.

Everyone kept their mouths shut and followed the princess all the way to the top of the mountain, where they all took off the heavy cloth bags on their backs.

The group didn't say much. They opened the cloth bag in the moonlight and spread out all the iron rods, ropes, leather and other materials inside on the ground.

Under the leadership of Lin Xiaoyue, the members of the carpentry and blacksmithing team had already rehearsed countless times from production, manufacturing to assembly.

Therefore, although they were a little nervous at this time, their movements were orderly and they proceeded step by step skillfully.

The brothers of the reconnaissance team kept watch while staring with wide eyes at the rapid movements of the hands of the members of the carpentry and ironing team.

The hammers hit each other, and the rope made a slight friction sound as it passed through the hole, which was particularly clear in the silent night.

About half an hour later, when the six fully assembled black hang gliders appeared in front of everyone, everyone was shocked by its unique shape, which looked like a giant bird about to spread its wings and fly high, and its huge size. They couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "This... This thing is too big, right?"

Lin Xiaoyue looked at the six quickly assembled hang gliders, nodded in appreciation, and told everyone to get ready. It was not easy. Five or six years after the end of the world, those people with good brains in various bases came up with an improved version that could support the team to fly for a long time when on long-distance missions.

The six members of the carpentry and blacksmithing team she brought up the mountain had already undergone two secret test flights and had basically mastered the operation of the hang glider.

The original plan was that she, together with five members of the investigation team and six members of the carpentry and ironmaking team, would pair up in pairs.

The carpentry and blacksmithing team will be responsible for controlling the hang glider to hover in the sky, while she and the five members of the investigation team will zipline together and quickly descend from the hang glider to the Mu family. After quickly finishing what they need to do, they will grab the zipline and fly away.

But now that there is an extra little grass, they can only readjust their plan, which means carrying one more person on the hang glider.

Fortunately, when she designed it, she made the glider larger and more load-bearing. She picked a thin and light person, and with her and Xiaocao, it was safe enough.

At this point, everyone did not delay any longer. Taking advantage of the strong wind that blew up in front of the cliff on the top of the mountain, Lin Xiaoyue, Xiaocao and another member of the carpenter and ironwork team took a deep breath, adjusted their posture, held the control stick tightly, and took the lead in pushing the hang glider towards the cliff.

Suddenly, the hang glider lifted off the ground and rushed into the night sky.

"Ahhh-"

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Xiaocao close her eyes in fear and scream loudly.

The group of members of the reconnaissance team behind them also exclaimed in surprise. They had never seen such a strange and thrilling scene.

In the night sky, after the hang glider was lifted up by the rising air current and flew high into the sky and reached balance, Lin Xiaoyue patted the back of the hand of Xiaocao, who was still screaming beside her, and shouted to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Xiaocao, look, we are already flying. Come, don't be afraid, Sister Sanya is here, open your eyes and take a good look."

The wind whistled in his ears. Although he was terrified, he still suppressed his fear and slowly opened his eyes after hearing Lin Xiaoyue's comforting words.

Looking down from a high altitude at the earth under the night sky, it is like a dreamlike painting slowly unfolding before your eyes.

What kind of scene is that?

For the ancients who had never experienced looking down at the earth from above, the scene that came into view, even under the cover of night, was undoubtedly a shocking and unimaginable novel experience.

The rolling hills look like a group of sleeping beasts in the night, with blurred outlines but inviolable majesty. The cold silver frost sprinkles on the mountaintops, outlining a layer of hazy silver edges. Occasionally, a few steep and abrupt peaks emerge under the moonlight, like the sharp fangs of a beast.

"Wow, that's amazing. It's so high."

"Great, isn't it? I'll take you on another flight during the day when the scenery will be even more beautiful."

"Well, thank you, Sister Sanya."

After getting over the initial fear and feeling the warmth from Lin Xiaoyue's arms tightly against his chest, Xiaocao slowly let go of his anxious heart. He immersed himself in the feeling of the high-altitude wind blowing against his face and ears, and soaring in the sky like a bird.

……

They flew over layers of mountains and arrived at Yongzhou City faster than expected.

The hang glider flies over the towering and majestic city walls, giving you a panoramic view of the city.

The quaint buildings are scattered in an orderly manner, and the flying eaves and brackets cast mysterious shadows in the moonlight. The streets are like winding veins, connecting the houses one by one. The lanterns in front of the shops emit dim light, like fireflies, lighting the way for patrolling soldiers and night watchmen.

Because Lin Xiaoyue and her group were fully armed, from their clothes to their hang gliders, everything was shrouded in black, blending into the night. Even if someone occasionally looked up, they would not be able to easily capture their traces in the sky.

The hang glider of Zeng Jin's group approached them cautiously from the side and gestured to Lin Xiaoyue that not far ahead was the destination of their trip tonight, the Mu family mansion.

Six hang gliders circled over the Mu family mansion for several circles. After confirming that most people in the mansion below were asleep, they dropped ropes and quickly slid down along the ropes to the side of the courtyard that had been pre-inspected by the reconnaissance team and was the least guarded.

The house where the Mu family lives is really big, even bigger than the princess's mansion bestowed by the emperor.
