Chapter XI
Since Chenzishan left home, Chenzifeng and his grandmother have been immersed in a depressive atmosphere all day long, and they are worried about Chenzishan's safety, but they have always remained silent.
On Saturday morning, Chen Zifeng was washing the dishes, but he was thinking about his brother, he accidentally broke the rice bowl, and frightened the grandmother at the dinner table.
Grandma stood up and shouted at him, "Chenzishan, can't you be careful?
He leaned down to pick up the pieces on the ground, "I broke the bowl. ”
Grandma suddenly reacted, how could the person who broke the rice bowl be Chenzishan? Chenzishan had already run away from home.
Grandma sighed, "I'm old, I don't have a good memory." ”
"When my brother was around, he was basically doing the dishwashing, so you mistakenly thought he broke it. ”
"Your brother is a sensible child, how did he become like this?"
He didn't know how to answer the question, so he sighed.
The two ended the conversation with a sigh, and the question about Chenzi Mountain continued to remain silent.
Suppressed for almost a week, he often felt dizzy, he often stared at the mock test papers, but the pen in his hand stagnated.
He was stunned all morning, and only one name was written on the test paper assigned by the teacher.
He glanced at the clock on the wall, then looked down at the blank test paper, and in a fit of rage, he tore up the test paper in which he wrote the name of "Chenzi Mountain".
He looked at the mess of shredded paper in front of him, and fell into deep regret - this test paper was an assignment assigned by the teacher, which needed to be handed over to the teacher for review on Monday, and now it was a pile of fragments.
He lay on the table, trying to get some sleep.
He squinted for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had a date with his twin sisters in the afternoon, and he suddenly raised his head, and his depressed expression was more relieved.
The place where they were meeting was the entrance of a large shopping mall, he came to their date early, and after waiting for a while, he found that most of the young people shuttling here were children of wealthy families, and their fashionable clothes were in stark contrast to their simple clothes.
He stood in the most conspicuous position at the entrance of the mall, waiting, their strange eyes like sharp knives, the knives exploiting his flesh and skin, and he was as unmoved as a rock.
The reason why he didn't care about the strange eyes of strangers was, on the one hand, he was used to this kind of superior eyes, and on the other hand, standing in a conspicuous place and waiting, they could see him at a glance.
Half an hour later, he finally waited for the arrival of his twin sisters.
The sisters are dressed in clean and tidy attire, with no extra decorations on their bodies, and their simple neatness highlights their nobility.
The twin sisters come up to him, and the first thing the sister asks you is, "When did you come?"
The younger sister continued, "We thought we were early, you were earlier than us!"
"I'm new here, too, and I'm not too far behind you. "Actually, he was an hour early.
After a brief chat, the sister invited him to visit the mall together.
When passing by the crane machine, my sister fell in love with a doll, and he took the initiative to try it, and he succeeded once by feeling.
My sister took the doll he had grabbed and almost jumped up with joy.
Seeing this, the younger sister on the side claimed that she also liked one of the dolls in it and asked him to try again.
He thought that this game was not very difficult, so he readily agreed, only to find that he had inexplicably lost his touch and luck.
He tried a few more times, but they all passed by.
My sister became more and more disappointed, but she didn't want to show it, so she had to say that the doll inside was ugly, and she didn't like it.
He smiled in agreement to hide the embarrassment on his face.
My sister said, "The rest of the dolls are no longer beautiful, and the best ones are already in my hands." ”
My sister disagreed, "There are few types of dolls in the crane machine, and they are small, and the best place to win dolls should be an indoor amusement park." ”
His sister led him and his sister to a nearby indoor amusement park, where he looked at a dazzling array of game machines such as racing, shooting, and pachinko, which he had never touched before.
My sister pointed to the biggest furry bear at the top of the prize shelf, and said to him coquettishly, "Chenzishan, I like that bear so much, can you help me win it?"
He looked up at the huge stuffed bear, about the size of an adult, and he turned his head to spot the basketball machine in the arena and nodded.
"What are you going to play?"
"I'll probably only be basketball. ”
"Good!"
My sister ran to the cash register, exchanged two red tickets for game currency in one go, and sent it to him, "Let's only play basketball until we win enough!"
My sister smiled, "The big bear you chose is the first prize, you need five thousand prize tickets in exchange, and you can't even get a hundred cards to play the basketball machine once, do you want to tire him to death?"
My sister also smiled, "Then you underestimate Chenzi Mountain, ordinary people play less than a hundred cards at a time, but he plays basketball well, I believe him." ”
The younger sister took his hand, "I believe in you, let's go!"
There were only one or two people playing with a row of basketball machines, and his sister and he chose one at random, and they began to study the instructions above.
After studying for a while, his sister looked up and said to him, "It takes two game coins to play once, and the time limit is one minute, and you get one prize ticket for one goal in a fixed basket, and two prize tickets for a ball in a moving basket, and a woolly bear needs five thousand prize tickets......"
"It takes 2,500 shots to move the basket, and it's very close, so I should be able to shoot two balls in a second...... You see the person next to him is also playing, he chose to move the basket, and if you look closely, it takes about a second and a half to move the basket from one side to the other...... I had an 80 percent shooting rate, which is four out of five, and I needed to shoot 3,125 balls, 1,562.5 seconds, about 26 minutes...... Not counting the effects of the late hand speed drop and the reduced hit rate. ”
My sister exclaimed, "Wow, you are so good at arithmetic, so fast!"
He smiled, "You shouldn't admire my arithmetic now, because you'll have so much to witness for the next twenty-six minutes." ”
He placed the entire box of game coins under the coin slot, "You take care of the coins, and the rest," he picked up the basketball under the skateboard, "Give it to me!"
The younger sister immediately threw in two in-game coins, and he quickly slapped the move shot button, blocking the basketball from rising from the shelf where the skateboard had slipped and the basket moved quickly.
He didn't rush to shoot at the moment, he closed his eyes and let his breathing become calm, he gradually ignored all the noise of the amusement park, and the surrounding environment began to become quiet.
A bright flame ignited in his mind, and he opened his eyes, which quickly searched for the rhythm of the basket movement and adapted to it.
At the same time, his wrist looks for the strength of the pitch, and the tip of his index finger looks for the touch of direction.
Ten seconds had passed on the basketball machine's countdown display, and he made a quick shot, and when the basket moved to the end side, the basketball just fell into the basket.
The basket moves to the other side, and the second ball he gets out of his hands goes in again.
He didn't rush to throw the third ball, he found the middle of the basketball machine with both feet, so that the center of his body was aligned with the center of the basket movement.
On the third ball, he made a quick shot, and the basket moved to the middle, and the basketball went right into the basket.
His fourth, fifth, and sixth throws are scored when the basket moves to the left, middle, and right, respectively.
His plan is to move the basket to these three positions to score.
7th, 8th, 9th...... He knew when to make a move.
Unlike others, who blindly follow the rhythm of the basket's movements, he lets the baskets move to his own rhythm.
The sister next to him found that he had learned the trick of moving the basket to score a goal, and the younger sister's face showed a hint of joy, and the sister's face showed some loss.
Seeing that the first game was over, more than 200 points had been accumulated on the integrator, and my sister couldn't help screaming, "Chenzishan, come on!"
The scream attracted people from the neighborhood to watch.
The second game began, and everyone admired him from the bottom of their hearts for his handsome and standard shooting posture, clean shooting speed, and ultra-high shooting percentage of nine out of ten.
"This guy is so accurate!"
"Almost one into one, how could he be so accurate!"
"It's like a plug-in!"
"If you look closely, he doesn't shoot randomly, he has a fixed rhythm!"
The second game was over, and sweat broke out on his forehead, and when his sister saw this, she immediately took out a tissue to wipe his sweat for him.
The ambiguous action aroused the envy and jealousy of the onlookers, including her, of course.
"Let's go play pachinko, the basketball machine is too slow, it took so hard to get hundreds of prize tickets, and it's still far from 5,000!"
"Chenzishan basketball is accurate, why should he play marbles that he can't play?
The younger sister leaned close to his ear and said to him intimately, "Come on, I believe in you!"
He nodded shyly.
At the beginning of the third game, he surpassed the first two innings with his pitching speed and shooting percentage that was difficult for the naked eye to keep up with, which even he couldn't believe.
He didn't know if it was because his hands were too hot, or because of the ambiguous encouragement she gave, he had a miraculous performance.
The onlookers also held their breath to enjoy his performance, and at the end of the game, people were free to breathe.
My sister's surprised face was more worried, "Even if all of them are hit, the distance from 5,000 is still far away......"
Fourth inning, fifth inning...... Until the end of the tenth game, a mountain of prize tickets had accumulated under the ticket gate of the basketball machine, and he was already sweating profusely at this time, and his arms were very sore.
My sister said, "Chenzishan, you rest for a while, I'll take these tickets to the front desk to check, I feel that it is almost enough." ”
Panting, he nodded.
My sister looked at him distressedly, "Look at how tired you are, or change to a relaxing game console to play." ”
"It's okay, I'm not tired. ”
"Look at you sweating profusely, and you still say you're not tired! You're so stubborn...... You wait here, I'll go buy a bottle of water. ”
When my sister came back soon, he took the mineral water she handed him and drank half a bottle in one go.
After five minutes, my sister came over and asked her with her head down, "How much is missing?"
My sister said dejectedly, "It's still half there." ”
He smiled reluctantly, "The rest of the half is also fast, let's continue." ”
With that, he started throwing the ball like crazy, however, he had lost his accuracy and hit only half of the shots.
After a few more rounds, he was out of breath, but he threw a lot of game coins into the coin slot.
My sister took his right hand, "Forget it, let's go play marbles." ”
The younger sister grabbed his left hand, "Chenzishan, I don't like that big bear anymore, let's go, let's change it for a separate prize." ”
He tried to squeeze out a smile, "I know you like that big bear, don't worry, ...... will take care of the rest"
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from behind him that he was familiar with, "I simply thought that Cupid's arrow could only pass through two hearts, and now he can shoot an arrow through three hearts if it hits your row." ”
This vinegary joke made the two sisters put down their hands together.
"Morning Wind ......"
"Why are you here?"
He looked at him in amazement, he hadn't seen him for a week, and he couldn't even say a word.
He pushed him away and stood alone in front of the basketball machine, "I'll take care of the rest, you rest next to you." ”
He quickly turned to the twins and said with a hint of command, "You can find a machine to play with for a while, and he'll take care of the rest." ”
After the twin sisters left, he said to his brother next to him while throwing the ball, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't come here to steal your limelight, I saw that you couldn't stand it, so I came to help." ”
"What do you mean...... Are you stalking me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Did you just happen to meet us?"
"It was just a chance encounter. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that. He turned to him again and smiled, "We haven't seen each other for so long, shouldn't you be concerned about my current situation first?" ”
"That'...... Where do you live now?"
"Forget it, don't ask, you don't really care. ”
"Why don't I care about you anymore? do you know...... Do you know how worried my grandmother and I are about you! Brother, go home!"
"Grandma said this to you herself?"
He was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should lie to him or not—if he did, when he returned home, his grandmother still wouldn't want to see him, and he wouldn't be the object of his complaint.
Thinking of this, he chose to remain silent.
"Why am I still cheeky when my grandmother didn't call me home?"
"She's your grandmother!"
"She's my grandmother," he pitched the ball and suddenly turned into a throwing position, "she shouldn't have kicked me out of the house when I was at my hardest!"
With a "bang", the basketball he threw out slammed into the rebound, the basketball bounced out, and the rebound trembled violently. Fortunately, the amusement park was noisy and there were no people nearby, so his irascible behavior did not attract too many people's attention.
The brothers never said anything more, one was only concerned with pitching, the other was only concerned with collecting prize tickets.
After more than ten minutes, he came to the sisters with the sorted prize tickets, "Let's exchange the prizes, these should be enough in my hand." ”
The younger sister took the ticket he was holding and happily ran to the front desk.
The elder sister looked at her sister's smug back, "Look at her happy, as if there is nothing at home!"
She turned to him again, "Where's your brother?"
He said lightly, "He has left beforehand." He looked at her empty hands, "Where's your doll?"
She scratched her head, "Maybe I forgot somewhere." ”
"Let's go find out. ”
She took his hand, "Forget it, it was taken away by someone else, wait for next week, let's come over and play basketball again, you help me win a bigger one than hers." ”
He smiled and nodded, but he said to himself in his heart, "But I can't do it alone." ”
......
Yuchen Middle School is located in the center of the city, but away from the noise of the city, such an excellent location is also one of the reasons why Yuchen Middle School can become a key school.
There is a lotus pond in the back mountain park of Yuchen Middle School, and whenever the lotus flowers are in full bloom in summer, I don't know how many girls are here, quietly offering their first kiss to the boy in love.
There is a pavilion in the lotus pond, although the pavilion is the perfect place to enjoy the lotus flowers, few men and women who have a tryst choose to "bud to be released" here, only when the tourists are scarce, the men and women who fall in love are unscrupulous in the center of the lotus pond, and the lotus flowers bloom together with the surrounding blooming lotus.
When Yuchen Middle School is dismissed, it is not uncommon for students to go around Houshan Park and then go home.
After school that afternoon, he wanted to take his twin sisters to see the beautiful scenery behind the school, but it rained in the middle of the trip, and the hurried people all ran in the direction of the park gate, but he took the twin sisters against the current and passed by the fleeing crowd.
With heavy rain on their heads and muddy feet on their feet, they ran to the gazebo of the lotus pond in one breath before they could breathe.
He looked at his sister, who was panting, and suddenly laughed.
My sister said, "Everyone is running to the exit." ”
My sister said, "You brought us here!"
"If it's raining and it's not a fire, why do you have to find an exit? There is no place to hide from the rain at the entrance of the park, this is the closest place to take shelter from the rain. ”
My sister said, "You can take a taxi at the door." ”
"There are so many people rushing to get a taxi at the door, are you sure you can grab those adults? You can call a taxi home here and go out when the car comes." ”
The sisters asked in unison, "What about you?"
"My house and yours are not in the same direction," he put his hands into his shy trouser pockets, and his slightly embarrassed eyes turned to the lotus pond in the rain, at this time, a pair of egrets flew up from the lotus water, attracting his attention, "How can you miss such a beautiful scenery, I'll wait for the rain to stop before leaving." ”
With that, he sat down in the middle of the gazebo bench.
"Yes, the rain lotus startled the double flying heron. She sat on his right as she spoke.
"The heron flew and the rain was shocked. She sat on his left as she spoke.
The twin sisters sat on either side of him, one on the left and one on the right, and they glanced at each other across him, their eyes suddenly bursting with the same repulsion.
In the lotus pond under the rain curtain, under such a pleasant beauty, he seemed to feel that the air around him was about to freeze.
Sandwiched between them, he even felt a little suffocated.
My sister smiled happily, "It's such a beautiful rain." ”
The younger sister teased, "Ah...... It's such a beautiful rain, I don't know when it's a head, and everyone can't go home. ”
"If you're in a hurry, you can call a taxi and go first, and I'll help you make this call. ”
"Who said I'm in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, I'm worried that you're in a hurry, if you want to call, let's call yourself. ”
"I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for the rain to stop and walk with Chenzi Mountain. ”
"I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for the rain to stop and walk with Chenzi Mountain. ”
He tried to temper the atmosphere of for tat, "When the rain stops, I'll send you home with you." ”
The sisters, with cold faces, twisted their heads to the other side.
My sister suddenly remembered something, and asked him solemnly, "Chenzi Mountain, do you like the feeling of rain or the feeling of snow?"
He understood what she was saying, and he didn't know how he was going to answer in front of their sisters, "It's all right." ”
My sister asked, "What if you have to choose one of the two?"
He looked around at two pairs of eyes that were also full of expectation, and there was an indescribable entanglement in his heart.
He wanted to get out of this place, even though it was raining heavily.
He didn't know how to answer, and neither side could be offended.
He thought of something that could change the topic and ease the atmosphere, "Your writing is very good, whose poem did you just read?"
"Sister, it's raining so hard, we can't go anywhere, we're idle anyway, do you want to compare Wencai?"
"Sister, you may not know, when it comes to poetry, rainy days are my home field. ”
He wanted to change the subject, but it was self-defeating, and he sighed, secretly regretting his overkill.
"It will be embarrassing to beat you at home. ”
"Cut, how do you want to compare?"
"I'll let you order it, and we'll know more verses with the word 'rain' than anyone else, and we're not allowed to repeat them, so as to see who can't catch them." ”
"What about the loser?"
"The loser goes home in the rain and leaves immediately. ”
Their gunpowder smoke rose to a higher height, and if he didn't stop it, he was really afraid that they would hurt the harmony, "Can you be quiet for a while, don't affect my enjoyment of the beautiful scenery." ”
The sisters scolded him in unison, "You are the one who wants to be quiet, don't disturb us!"
He used his hand in front of his mouth to imitate the movement of the zipper, and he waved his hand at them again, motioning for them to continue.
"I'll come first, my sister will let you order, don't make excuses when you lose, say you let me. ”
"Sister, you are so interesting, how do you know that I will lose to you? Okay, you come first, you come first, see what tricks you can play. ”
"The color of the mountains and rivers is good after the rain, and the noise of the birds and birds in the forest is scarce. ”
"Oh, sister, you're really amazing, even the word 'mountain' is included!"
"It's ugly," she said, making a "please" gesture, "it's your turn." ”
"The rain in the West Mountain recedes and the clouds recede, the ethereal buildings, the faint Tingzhou, it's your turn. ”
"Don't write about the clear mountains and write the rainy mountains, like a mirror looking at the smoke. ”
My sister thought for a moment, "In the painting, I also love the rain and the mountains, but I hate to look at the rain and mountains." ”
My sister quickly picked it up, "Kuanglu Mountain is several times high, and the mountain rain and mountain smoke are thick and thick. ”
My sister's quick and fluent answer made my sister speechless for a moment.
She tried to think about the poems about satirizing the mountains and the rain together, but all that came to mind was that the mountains and rain were compatible.
She secretly cursed the ancients, why they liked to put mountains and rain together so much.
"What's wrong with my sister, can't you pick it up? I've been thinking about a lot of things waiting for you. ”
She responded to her sister's taunt with angry eyes.
"Give you the last ten seconds, if you still can't answer, please be willing to bet and lose. ”
She didn't give her sister any chance to speak, and continued to exert pressure, "Ten, nine, eight, seven......"
She gritted her teeth, eager to tear her sister's countdown face.
In fact, she could have easily said a poem with the word rain, but in order to increase the difficulty, her sister deliberately put a mountain character into it, and she was very angry with her sister's intentions.
In a hurry, she suddenly realized that she was completely in the way of her sister - her sister knew her character very well, and she knew that she would rather admit defeat than compromise on the difficulty, let alone force herself to take the initiative to export because she was afraid of losing, and the poems about the compatibility of mountains and rain.
Her sister's first move made her a little disheartened.
"Six, Five, Four, Three......"
"Don't count anymore, can't I admit defeat!"
"Why are you still sitting when you admit defeat, you can't afford to lose?"
"I'm not leaving, this is your chair?"
His sister's pleading eyes looked at him, and he put on a look of not caring about himself, admiring the beauty of the lotus pond.
She stood up, quickly walked in front of her sister, and pulled her up from the chair, "Lin Shixue, can you have a face?" It's you who said it yourself, the loser goes home in the rain and leaves immediately!"
She glared at the hand that was pulling her, "You let go of my hand!"
"I'll be loose when you go. ”
"I told you to let go of your hands!"
"You go, I'll let go if you go. ”
"Do you want to fight?"
"You can't fight either. ”
"Wen can't do it, Wu can't get you. ”
As she finished speaking, she grabbed her collar with both hands and tore it with her.
By the time he got up to stop him, it was too late, and he only heard a "plop" sound, and the sisters who were torn together did not know who was pushed into the pond.
She screamed violently as she fell, and in mid-air she was in deep despair, and she didn't even have anything to hold onto.
In the despair of fear, how she wished that none of this had ever happened, how she wished that she had never had an argument with her.
She covered her mouth with one hand, and with the other hand, she struggled in the water, trying her best to stretch out her powerless retribution.
Remorse spread rapidly from her pale countenance, which was full of panic.
In the despair of remorse, she also wished that none of this had ever happened, that she had never had an argument with her sister.
The two sisters knew that they could get along well, but they couldn't restrain their willfulness.
It's happening, it's happening, and it's too late to say anything.
He glanced at the balustrade of the gazebo, which was designed to be inhumane, because the balustrade was not knee-high, and she tripped over the railing and tumbled into the pond.
He looked at her who was desperately trying to get himself up in the water, he didn't know how deep the pond was, but it definitely exceeded her height, and she wasn't much shorter than himself.
She shouted for help several times, and her throat was about to burst, but none of them jumped down from the gazebo.
The icy water was like a myriad of suckers, constantly sucking heat out of her bone marrow.
The biting cold made her feel numb all over her body, and gradually, her consciousness began to blur.
Exhausted, she thought of death, of being so young, so easily gone, abandoned...... And these people are actually the people they cherish the most.
"Chenzishan, I beg you, go down and save her!"
"I don't know water, if I knew water, I'd go down early!"
When she took off her bag and was about to jump, he stopped her, closed his eyes, and jumped towards the pond.
He fell into the air for some reason, why at this moment he remembered what their father said to their brother many years ago, "You brothers remember for me, dare to hurt my daughter in the future, let me see you again, you will not be as cheap as today!"
......
She opened her moist eyes, "I pushed her down in the first place, and she clearly hated me in her heart, but she never mentioned it." ”
"How many times I wanted to admit my mistakes to my face and beg her for forgiveness, but she always refused to give me this chance. ”
"I know that she has only one purpose, to take you from me......"
"In the end, she still couldn't escape the cruel arrangement of fate, and she was buried in the sea at a young age, she ......"
She choked up a little, "She didn't get her wish until she died......"
"You lied to us, your brother's private exchange," she roared at him like a heartbreak, "let the two sisters fight to your death like big fools!"
"People say that we sisters are fools, but we know what is true in our hearts, and we dare to show ourselves, and we are worthy of ourselves, but what about you brothers?"
"Your brothers have succeeded in fooling us, you brothers think they are smart, but in fact you are the stupidest people!"
"Our sisters deeply understand who the person we love is, even if we love the wrong person, but we know what we want, we walk boldly towards the road we see, and boldly love the person we see!"
"After all these years, do you brothers know? Your brothers don't even know who the person they love is......
"Say, who's the real fool!"
He smiled, but he was so dismissive.
