Gu Nian pursed her lips, wondering how to phrase this question.
This is a problem of mechanics, which she can explain clearly, but she's afraid Li Muyan won't understand.
“When we fly kites, we have to run while holding the string. If we don’t run, the kite will fall, right? A kite flies because of the wind and the force of the person pulling the string. A kite is so small that a gust of wind can move it, but have you ever seen a person being moved by the wind? Unless it’s a really strong wind, the kind that can blow a house off. So, once Adong leaves the branch, even if everyone below pulls the string at the same time, he won’t fly. I heard you’ve tried many times, so you should understand this principle!” Gu Nian said.
“Yes, that makes sense. But I didn’t leave A-Dong on it alone! I gave him wings. I modified those wings using various materials, and this one is the lightest and largest. I also added six more people pulling the ropes below. Compared to A-Dong’s weight, the weight of that big kite is negligible. And this time I had someone put soft mats on the ground, so A-Dong definitely won’t get hurt,” Li Muyan retorted.
Gu Nian had seen the cushion earlier, but the tree was so tall that if a few big men pulled her up, she would probably be pulled out of the cushion's protective range even if she didn't fly away!
"Li Muyan, do you think it's appropriate to put that soft mat there? Do you think Adong can just jump down and land on the soft mat?" Gu Nian said speechlessly.
“What you said makes sense. Someone, go and pull the cushion a little further in the direction of the rope.” Li Muyan stroked his chin and nodded.
"Young master, how far should we pull it?" the servant asked.
“This…” Li Muyan looked at A Dong’s position, then at the position of the soft cushion on the ground, gestured with his hands, muttered something to himself, and pointed to a spot for the servant.
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow. "You know what, if A Dong falls from this position, he'll probably land right on target."
Li Muyan's brain is quite interesting!
"Adong, get ready! You guys get ready too!" After the servants had set out the cushions, Li Muyan began to give orders.
Several girls stared intently at Adong.
A-Dong's legs were shaking. When the soft mat was right below him, he felt safe this time, but now that it's been moved away, what should he do? What should he do?
Gu Nian glanced at Li Muyan, but he didn't immediately order anyone to take action.
A gentle breeze was blowing; hmm, this kid was waiting for the wind.
He can also observe the celestial phenomena and know what kind of wind will blow the next day.
"Move!" Li Muyan shouted as the wind picked up.
Adong blinked and jumped down, and the burly men grabbed the rope and ran.
Luckily, this garden is really big, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough room for people to run around.
Unfortunately, Adong didn't manage to fly in the end. The strong wind only lasted for a short while, and he was pulled by the rope and landed diagonally on the soft mat with a cry of "Ouch!"
"Quick, carry me over there!" Li Muyan called to the servant beside him, wanting to go and check on me as soon as possible.
He had just seen it, and the wings of the large kite definitely served their purpose, making it much better than the kites made of other materials used in the previous ones.
Gu Xin and Gu Si also ran over to the soft mat to take a look. They had never seen such a big kite before. Although it hadn't flown, it seemed to have flown for a short while.
"Ah Dong, you didn't hurt yourself this time, did you? I'm not lying to you, young master. Come here quickly, let me see!" Li Muyan said excitedly as they reached the cushion.
