Chapter 45: The Lone White Bird

"You can join us in the search," Feng Ling said excitedly. "The clue to the maze is a riddle. The first sentence of the riddle is about a frog wearing a top hat soaring into the sky, and the second sentence is about kissing a lone white bird. We have found the frog wearing a top hat, and now we need to find the lone white bird."

"Huh?" Zhou Chu was confused.

He looked around. Where were the birds?

And it specifically refers to a solitary white bird - it certainly can't be a real bird in nature, it should be a metaphor, right?

There are pedal boats shaped like big white geese on the lake. There are not only big white geese, but also little yellow ducks. But the problem is... they are so far away, how can we "kisses" them?
Zhou Chu thought it was unreliable, but he still pointed it out to Feng Ling, "Hey, is that the ship?"

Feng Ling took a look and asked Huangfu Miaomiao beside him, "Look, does that ship look like a white bird?"

Huangfu Miaomiao was a little uncertain. She looked at the lake, then at Feng Ling, "...it seems like it, but...it feels like something is wrong."

Feng Ling held his chin up in thought, "It's a little off."

Huangfu Miaomiao hesitated and said, "Besides, the riddle is about a lone white bird. This ship...it, it's not alone either."

There is more than one pedal boat on the lake. What does it mean to be alone?
Zhou Qi said: "Lonely does not necessarily mean a lonely ship, maybe it means there is only one such ship."

"That makes sense~" Feng Ling nodded.

It seems that the three of them can be better than one Zhuge Liang.

"Let's go down and ask someone later. If there is only one white boat in the entire amusement park, it means we have found the right one!" Feng Ling said.

Everything was going well and she felt she had achieved 66% of the victory!
Keep on cheering!

The cabin reaches the highest point of the Ferris wheel.

Zhou Chu was admiring the scenery and did not notice anything else that looked like a "white bird", but he unexpectedly saw the building of the Supervisory Bureau.

"From here you can see the Supervisory Bureau...wow, you can also see the Qingjiang No. 1 Bridge."

Zhou Chu couldn't help but take out his phone and took a few photos of the scenery. "This angle is really good~"

Hearing this, Feng Ling also looked towards the bridge in the distance.

In order to facilitate transportation, Qingjiang City has built many bridges, and Bridge No. 1 is considered an antique.

When she passed Bridge No. 1 by car in the past, she always felt it was old. She didn’t expect it to be so beautiful when viewed from a high place, like a big snow-white bird spreading its wings.

what……

White bird?

Feng Ling's heart skipped a beat and he looked carefully again.

But as we descended in altitude, the bridge began to seem less bird-like.

Could it be an illusion?

Feng Ling was a little unsure.

If you want a clear answer, you may have to ride the Ferris wheel again.

The cabin slowly descended, and the vast view gradually narrowed. The nearby houses and trees surrounded them like giants, blocking the distant scenery.

Feng Ling got out of the cabin and went to the lake cruise area.

When she was on the Ferris wheel, the lake seemed quite close to her, but when she walked towards it, she realized it was far away and the road was quite circuitous, which made her feel irritated unconsciously.

When passing by the candy house and smelling the sweet scent wafting out from inside, the frenzy in his heart eased a little. Feng Ling realized the change in his mood and immediately stopped vigilantly.

"Why don't you leave?" Zhou Chu asked in surprise from behind.

Feng Ling took a deep breath of the fragrance and asked Huangfu Miaomiao beside him: "Where's the perfume?"

Huangfu Miaomiao quickly took off the small schoolbag on her back and unzipped it - she bought five or six bottles, with all kinds of scents including floral, woody, tea, and milk.

Feng Ling picked up a bottle and sprayed it on himself and Huangfu Miaomiao.

Zhou Qi, who was following behind them, immediately covered his nose in disgust. They were too close, and the fragrance was too pungent for him.

"You two are crazy. Why are you spraying perfume when you are doing serious work?" he protested.

Feng Ling ignored him and continued walking forward.

There is a small house on the shore of the lake area, which is the fee collection office for boat rentals.

As Feng Ling walked over, he saw a park staff member standing on the wooden plank road, hooking a returning pedal boat with an iron hook.

There are more than a dozen empty boats neatly lined up on the shore. At a glance, there are four pedal boats in the shape of big white geese, not counting the one floating on the lake.

"No." Feng Ling frowned, "This thing is not a lone white bird."

She decisively returned to the Ferris wheel.

The others didn't understand why and just followed her.

The frog cockpit had already been rotated up, and it takes 15 minutes to complete a circle.

Feng Ling kept his composure and waited patiently for the frog cockpit to turn down again.

Huangfu Miaomiao, who was standing by, observed Feng Ling anxiously, wanting to spray the perfume in her hand but not knowing whether to do so. She felt anxious and nervous.

Not to mention Feng Ling, whose pollution value exceeded the standard, even Zhou Chu was a little annoyed, staring at the cockpit and cursing: "Fuck, can't it turn faster? It's like a turtle pulling a mill."

Huangfu Miaomiao thought about it and quietly sprayed perfume on Zhou Chu twice.

"Fuck! What are you doing?!" Zhou Chu leaped to the side, furious, "Don't spray that stuff on me! You sissy!"

Feng Ling stared at the cockpit intently, "It's almost down, let's go over there."

The three of them sat in the frog-painted cockpit again.

This time, Feng Ling kept looking in the direction of Qingjiang Bridge, fearing that he would miss any details.

"I just thought that Qingjiang Bridge looks like a big white bird. You should take a look at it too." Feng Ling said.

Zhou Chu rubbed the spot where he had just been sprayed with perfume in disdain, frowned and said, "There are triangular iron cable racks on the bridge, one on each side, which look quite like wings, but there are several Qingjiang Bridges, and they all have similar shapes. How do you know which bridge it is?"

Feng Ling thought carefully and looked at the river on the other side——

In fact, the distance between each bridge is very far, but because of the special position of the Ferris wheel, the bridges in the distance appear to be very close. Only Bridge No. 1 facing the frog cabin is lonely, which fits the metaphor of "a lone white bird".

Feng Ling felt that it was almost certain.

The lone white bird refers to the Qingjiang No. 1 Bridge.

But there is one thing she still can't understand, what does "drooling kiss" mean?
The frog is in the sky and the white bird is on the river. They are not related at all, so how can they kiss?

"Let's go to Bridge No. 1 and take a look." Feng Ling said.

"Are you sure?" Zhou Qi frowned. "The bridge is very congested right now, with a lot of traffic and people. You might be discovered by the aliens."

Aliens may not come to the amusement park, but Bridge No. 1 is the route many people take to and from get off work every day, and there may be aliens among these people.

Feng Ling didn't care. "I'm sitting in the car, the alien may not see me. Besides, don't we have the little skeleton with us? If there is an alien, she will definitely be the first to find it."

She looked at Huangfu Miaomiao.

Huangfu Miaomiao immediately nodded vigorously to show her loyalty, "Yes!"

Zhou Chu was speechless, curled his lips and said: "Okay, then let's go to Bridge No. 1. Anyway, I have already reminded you."

When they got off the Ferris wheel again, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

The sun was setting, and the afterglow covered the city like a bright pink veil.

On the road leading to Qingjiang No. 1 Bridge, vehicles were lined up like a long dragon, causing traffic jam.
