“Ha, got it.” It cheerfully stretched its neck and shook it a couple of times.
“Are you saying…” Her face was filled with sorrow.
“I’ve stepped on something.” Shenniu laughed with satisfaction, then laughed louder, then burst into mad laughter.
As it laughed maniacally, the airship began to shake.
“I… can I ask you all to try not to cause the ship to shake? It’s for everyone’s flying safety…” Xiaodou said in a small voice.
“What did you say?” The cow brother raised his eyebrows, his eyes glaring fiercely, as if threatening Xiaodou. If he said another word, the cow knew what would happen next.
“Nothing… nothing…” Xiaodou good-naturedly retracted his neck and continued to fight the erratic airship.
“Poor Xiaodou, all alone in the front with no one to talk to, and still being bullied by that dumb cow…” Xu Xian’en sympathized as she watched his silhouette. “Don’t worry, Xiaodou, this big cow is just sitting on your deck, ignore it!”
“Xian’en, thank you, but you’d better sit down too, to avoid danger.” The pilot, also the service staff, turned around to guide her on the safety measures to take when boarding the airship.
“I suddenly thought of a small question,” Xiaoben interjected suddenly.
“Huh? What?” Xu Xian’en turned her head to ask.
“Does anyone know… how to get to Zhongyuan?”
One question was enough to kill the others, especially Xu Xian’en, who was eagerly looking forward to going to Zhongyuan.
“Oh, so that’s what I’ve been forgetting to ask… I see now,” Xiaodou suddenly realized, clapping his hands and laughing heartily.
“Not funny, it’s not funny at all,” Xu Xian’en said coldly. “How could you not know where Zhongyuan is? Aren’t people from Qiqiguo good at making airships? They should be able to fly anywhere, so how could you not know where Zhongyuan is?”
Xiaodou looked helpless. “I told you, people from Qiqiguo rarely go elsewhere!”
“My heavens! What do we do now?” She anxiously tugged at her hair.
“Don’t be so nervous. Maybe we’re lucky and heading in the direction of Zhongyuan? Let’s calm down first, then think of a solution, okay?” Xiaoben comforted Xu Xian’en.
