Chapter 963: Dingdang and Jiajia’s Chess Classroom

This is an alley, an old alley that you could often find ten years ago, but now you can’t find it in K City. The mottled bungalows and uneven stone roads show that this alley has been around for many decades. The time, the taste of time and the taste of life of generations slowly escape from every corner of the alley, enough to make every urbanite accustomed to high-rise buildings and fast-paced life feel inexplicably touched, and then stand blankly At the entrance of the alley, take a deep breath and sigh.

What are you sighing about? Maybe it's the childhood that has passed away, the childhood when I was suddenly hit on the head by a piece of chalk, and then the class teacher yelled "xx, stand behind the classroom."

Written on the bumpy concrete wall is a line of scratching chalk characters that I have been reading for more than ten years and plan to read for the rest of my life. Many of the words are even replaced with pinyin: Jun is a big bastard! ——Xu Qianqianliu.

Vaguely remembering that day, she snatched half a bun from a certain childhood sweetheart's lunch, just because she was curious about whether the food the girl had eaten had a different taste, and she spent the whole day being angry with herself. Things that had been completely forgotten slowly emerged at this moment: this was one of the countless silly things between me and a certain little girl who had been suspected of having ADHD since she was a child.

From the depths of the alley came a call that had sounded many years ago in the evening and still occasionally echoes in my ears: "Ajun! Go home for dinner!"

I looked blankly into the depths of the alley, my memory still jumping between two images. On one side was the Temple of the Goddess of Life in the Star Realm. On the other side were the mottled alleys that were so clear in my memory. I didn’t know why I suddenly jumped from the Star Realm to this place more than ten years ago. I could only confirm that everything in front of me was extremely real, and I pinched my face hard. It doesn't hurt very much. Maybe this is just an exquisite dream, but obviously I have fallen into it abnormally, and I may not be able to find a way to wake up in a short time.

But I didn't feel nervous or uneasy. Maybe...well, I had already started to be careless more than ten years ago.

"Ajun, Ajun! You are in a daze again! Sister Chen Qian asked you to go home for dinner!"

Suddenly, a clear and melodious call came from behind, waking me up from my brief trance. I turned around in surprise and saw in front of me a skinny little girl wearing a rustic autumn and winter primary school uniform, with two loose pigtails, and her hair was already a little messy. The little girl's hair was a little yellow and messy from playing so hard, her face was red from the cold weather, and there were two sparkling water stains under her nose. She was only an eight or nine-year-old girl. Now it looks like he has an unattractive appearance from beginning to end. Apart from his great energy, there are almost no highlights worthy of attention. Only those eyes have become radiant and lively. I could vaguely see how smart and beautiful these big eyes would be in a few years. I looked at the Lolita version of Qian Qian in front of me in fascination. Suddenly I felt that I really had a vision for early investment: How could this girl become so beautiful after more than ten years?

"If you are in a daze for a while, the teacher will ask you to stand at the back of the classroom!"

The little girl, who was full of boyish demeanor from beginning to end, grabbed my arm and walked forward. Then he stopped as soon as he took a step, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then he rummaged wildly in his dirty little school bag.

She pulled out half a bun and stuffed it into my hand: "Here you go! Don't you want to eat it?"

Then while I was still in a daze, she rummaged again and took out a small plastic bag from her schoolbag. Inside was a large ball of leek and eggs: "I was afraid that the stuffing would spill, so I took it out and put it in the plastic bag. You Just stuff it into a bun and eat it in a while. I’m smart, why are you in a daze again! Eat quickly, and go home for dinner after you’re done!”

Me: "..." I vaguely remember that there was such a scene that day that year, when I opened the package gorgeously and brought me half a bun. What did I do at that time?

I slowly bit into the bun wrapper, took a bite of the leek and egg, and followed the little girl with blank eyes as I walked forward, walking through the familiar old alleys, smelling the damp and cold smell of the old house, and the little girl jumping lightly. The pigtails were dancing in front of my eyes. I looked down at my body. I was wearing an elementary school uniform that was as rustic as Qian Qian's. My chest was stained black, the corners of my pants were untied, and the cuffs were torn into small holes. It was sewn together with poor craftsmanship - my sister's needlework skills were terrible until she was fifteen years old.

In a dizzy state, I have been led to the home that slowly turned yellow in my memory. The familiar red brick wall, the waistline of the cement wall, and the motorcycle built by my adoptive father with cement at the door. On the ramp, the single-leaf iron door with peeling paint is covered with layers of old blessing characters from previous years. The old Spring Festival couplets on both sides have turned light yellow, and when you touch it with your hands, the paste and mud will fall out. , the adoptive parents who were once alive were well-known "big shots" in this alley. They did business and opened companies. In that era when it was easy to make a fortune doing business, they made countless pots of gold, but they still didn't. They had left this alley where they had lived for twenty or thirty years. Standing in front of this old iron door that I had last seen more than ten years ago, I was a little overwhelmed. It took me a long time to reach out and pat the door. As a result, the little girl next to him immediately started chattering: "Ajun, you are so silly! You even knocked on the door at your own house - Sister Chen Qian! The door is open! I am back! Ahjun is so silly eating steamed buns!"

The iron door creaked open, and a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl wearing a homemade apron with a childlike face appeared in front of the door. First, she raised her hand to flick my head in a familiar manner, and then greeted Qian Qian to come in: "I'm here today. Let’s eat here, right? My uncle and aunt told me to wash my hands first and eat braised pancakes in the evening—Arjun, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Come in quickly to wash your hands and eat, and then play around on the road again!”

When I was feeling dizzy, I was dragged to the dining table by my elder sister and my younger sister Qianqian. In the living room, I saw the photos of my adoptive parents still hanging on the wall - this photo is now It has been placed in the Shadow Fortress and is guarded day and night by the royal guards. Without them, there might not be the current head of the empire. As usual, my sister put the two pairs of bowls and chopsticks beside the dining table, and then served the two little ones who were waiting to be fed. Then she mentioned that she planned to move in two years. Her parents had bought a house quite far away from here. The loli version of Qianqian was red-eyed at the time. Later, we agreed at the dinner table that we would also move after we moved. Meet. We also agreed to eat candied haws together on the night of the full moon ten years later on the top of the Forbidden City. We hooked up, swore an oath, and used the braised pancake as a token - later my sister forced us to eat the token.

I seem to have completely returned to the state I was in more than ten years ago, even though I always want to tell Qianqian that in fact the two of them did not meet again on the top of the Forbidden City ten years later, but ate together on the top of the experimental building every day Vegetarian fried pancakes for two yuan each...

After eating, I help clear away the dishes, wash the dishes and wipe the table. After finishing these, my sister still has to do her own homework. Qianqian, on the other hand, was tricked by me into finding a gadget and went into the back room to play by herself. I ran to the door and sat in a daze, watching the sunset at the end of the alley. Everything was quiet. In the old alley more than ten years ago, I could not hear the cars coming and going in the same place more than ten years later. I lowered my head and picked at my fingernails, which were several sizes too small, and then walked forward along the alley, thinking what if this was a If it’s an exquisite dream, then why haven’t you woke up yet?

When I passed the house on the far side of the alley. Suddenly my heart moved, and I turned around and knocked on a courtyard door I just passed by: "Fat Fat! Fatty! I'm here to play with you!"

Sure enough, after three or four minutes, there was still no answer!

I started to think of something. I knocked on each house along the alley, but no one was there. The alley is empty!

"I'm going to jump directly from the God Realm to Silent Hill..." I muttered to myself. But it doesn't feel too intrusive. After all, things like hauntings are not a threat to a kid like me. Of course, the most important thing is that I often see a ghost crawling around the wall at home. I have long been used to it.

After walking around the alley and coming out, I began to analyze what was going on. After thinking hard for ten minutes, I almost pulled out half of the wooden telegraph pole at the entrance of the alley. However, I still couldn't figure it out. At that moment, a clear and rising girl's voice with a bit of a delicate air suddenly came from behind: "Hey! How to get to South Street?"

I turned my head and found that there was a little girl standing behind me who looked about the same age as the loli version of Qian Qian. She had long hair and was wearing a beautiful-looking white dress. She also wore a once-very fashionable hat on her head. The headband with a net pocket, and the other party's complicated little doll-like skirt seemed out of place with the mottled old alleys around it. In my impression, there were really no girls dressed like this in the alley where I lived - it was several miles away. The naughty children in the land have been trained by Qian Qian with me. A group of wild girls and wild boys who dare to roll on the ground in any clothes, like the one in front of me who is dressed like a princess, may not survive more than three years in this alley. ten minutes.

"Hey, don't be in a daze! How to get to South Street?" The unknown girl stamped her feet, then suddenly stuck out her tongue as if she remembered something, and smiled at me, "Ah, I forgot to say please - —Excuse me, how to get to South Street? Then you can tell me, the old aunt said you must know etiquette."

"Well, South Street is quite far from here, it's just a straight road," I realized then and hurriedly pointed the direction to the other party, "just follow this string of telegraph poles. Are you lost?"

"Well, I'm lost," the other party still had that kind of decent smile rarely seen among her peers. She was only eight years old, but she smiled like a princess. She said she was lost, but she didn't even know she was lost. He didn't look worried. He was probably more nervous than me. "I originally wanted to get rid of them, but ended up getting rid of myself. Just find South Street. Now they should be looking for me along that road."

"Oh," I nodded, "then hurry up and go."

"Wait a minute, the old aunt said that when you accept help, you have to repay others. This is also etiquette-" The little girl began to rummage around on her body, and then magically found a beautiful little bag from under the folds of the complicated clothes. A lot of messy things were dug out and placed in front of me. There were chocolate beans, small glass balls, pen tips and erasers, and commemorative stamps with blue sea and blue sky printed on them. I was just thinking about how this loli put everything. When they were putting them together, the other party pushed the colorful stamp over and said, "Here you go! You can write to me from now on. You need stamps to write letters!"

But this is the first time I’ve heard of commemorative stamps!

"Now," I turned around on my body. But I only took out a twisted piece of wood from my school uniform pocket. I vaguely remembered that I carved it secretly during class, and the raw material was the teacher's desk. "This is for you. I carved Zhu Bajie... but Just a rake, well, just a rake handle, you can treat it like Sun Wukong."

"Hee hee, it's really ugly," the little girl smiled and took the crooked nail rake or golden cudgel I carved from it. "But it's pretty awesome. Thank you for the... um. wood!"

After saying this, the other party ran away with laughter and jumping up and down.

I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't come back to my senses until the other party disappeared behind the last telephone pole. Then continue to study what is going on now.

Then, the sky suddenly darkened.

It wasn't that the sky was dark because the sun was setting. In fact, the sun was still lazily hanging a little above the horizon, but the sky was darkening rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. I looked around in surprise. I found that everything in sight was gradually being covered by shadows, as if the effect of "light" in nature was suddenly offset by something, and as if many invisible and intangible things were blocking the sun and spreading shadows. It spread so quickly. So much so that in less than a minute I felt as if it was midnight, and then. An extremely strong sense of depression and the feeling of approaching danger suddenly came to me, and I almost subconsciously tried to use the void form to escape from this weird "dream". But that feeling has passed in a flash. The shadows in the field of vision gradually receded. The setting sun once again gilded the buildings with a layer of gold. As the last shadow left, a voice flashed intermittently in my mind. Passed: "...Confirmation...receipt...if...answer...from..."

In a trance, the lolita version of Qian Qian ran out of the house crying loudly, yelling that she was startled when it suddenly got dark. Her sister was standing at the door with an exercise book in her hand, staring blankly at the sky. There was no one around her. The lights lit up one after another in the house. I stretched out my hand to catch Qian Qian who was about to fall down, but I felt a strong green light sweeping across my eyes.

Mixed noises came from a very far away place, and I felt as if I had passed through a twisted tunnel. When I opened my eyes again from the momentary dizziness, I saw a garden full of life and filled with light fragrance.

Behind him is a wall of white boulders covered with thick vines.

This is the Star Realm God Realm, a garden planted by the Supreme Goddess of Life.

I came out of a large group of fragrant divine vines dizzy, and almost tripped three times. I have to say that the goddess of life did a great job in greening her home. I have never seen anyone planting flowers. I was so planted that I couldn't even put my feet down when walking. Of course, considering that all the three-inch dings could fly, I was relieved. After entering the temple, I felt the breath of Ding Dong. Not far in front, a vine turned. I saw the little one on the woven curtain. She was standing opposite Jia Jia, the goddess of life. Both of them had serious expressions. In the middle was a Go board made of plastic cloth. There were many people standing on the board. The wild Dingdangs in green and red dresses were standing at the placement points of the chessboard. Just now, a three-inch Dingzheng in a red dress threw a little guy in a green dress outside the chessboard. Dingdang was so bold that he did it. Di Yi pointed at the chessboard: "Lulu! Get out of the car, right in front!"

The little green-clothed little cub named Lulu held a small "car" flag in her hand, screaming and rushing towards the red cub on the opposite side. The two little ones fought on the chess board for a while, and the thinner Lulu was beaten by the little one. The "cannon" that should be eaten by yourself is thrown out of the chessboard.

I:"……"

It feels like something is wrong.

"Wow, Sister Goddess! This is wrong! Lulu should throw Pachichi out!"

The Supreme Life Goddess smiled slightly, her face full of cunning: "Hmph, how can anyone not resist when they see the enemy charging towards them on the battlefield? The rule you mentioned is not magic in the first place - the two chess pieces should meet, and whoever is stronger will stay! "

After saying this, the Supreme Life Goddess pointed at the chessboard: "Paqiqi! Cannons beat the horses, general!"

The three-inch Ding who was holding the small flag with the word "Pao" immediately ran forward happily, intending to climb over the back of the green-clothed Dou Ding in front of him. The latter immediately forgot about chess when he saw the other person rushing towards him in red clothes and "Pao across the mountain" "" rule, he hurriedly stumbled the other party, and then the two little ones rolled to the ground together, laughing together.

I:"……"

Jia Jia: "..."

Dingdang: "On the battlefield! On the battlefield! You can't use it as a springboard for the enemy!"

The bean sprouts on the chessboard finally became completely confused. They threw away the little flags of horses and cannons in their hands and began to laugh and fight in a ball. The five-yuan plastic chessboard was instantly crumpled into a big ball, and the goddess of supreme life sat on it. Dangling in mid-air: "This should have been the case a long time ago! The rules just now are really unrealistic at all!"

Dingdang happily flipped somersaults in the air: "It's just that, it's not scientific, it's not magic! But Dingdang said it was very interesting when he saw Jun playing this..."

"How did he play?"

"Stack the chess pieces and build a castle."

I suddenly felt ashamed and couldn't bear it anymore. I took the initiative to walk out and wave to a group of wild Ding Dong, a domestic Ding Dong and a Super Ding Dong: "Hey, everyone is playing?"

My domesticated Dingdang immediately rushed over with joy: "Arjun is here! Arjun has finished talking with Father God? Arjun is here to teach the goddess sister how to play chess and build a castle with chess pieces!"

I continue to feel so ashamed that I will never do this kind of fourth grade thing again! Especially not in front of Dingdang.

The Supreme Life Goddess glanced at me. She was obviously the same three-inch girl who was only one millet taller than Dingdang, but she nodded with a mysterious look on her face: "Ha, it seems you just went there for a walk." Say it!"

I was stunned. (To be continued)
