Almost to the end of the street, there is no road, in front of the two of them is an old wall covered with moss, on the wall colorful graffiti, written in some unknown meaning of English or pinyin, there are some names on it, connected with the shape of a heart, but it has been too long, it has been completely blurred.

Qiu Su walked to the wall, stopped, stretched out his green white little hand and touched a certain mark on the wall, although it was a little blurry, but Yao Jun could see that it should be a dent scratched with his fingernails.

At this time, Qiu Su's face was also full of pain, her eyebrows were tightly locked, and she seemed to be enduring unbearable painful memories.

"Meow!" Xiao Mi seemed to sense something, and rubbed Qiu Su's arm with her little head.

Yao Jun didn't speak, just watched quietly.

After a long time, Qiu Su came back to her senses, looked at Yao Jun, her eyes were a little red and moist, and pointed to a game room behind Yao Jun and said, "Come in with me to play, is it okay?"

Yao Jun looked in the direction of Qiu Su's finger, the sign of the store said "Pachinko Shop", Yao Jun didn't go to play inside, but he still nodded and agreed.

"It's a game that came from Japan, it's been around for many years, it's rare now, and now it's the only one in the entire prefecture that is open here. Qiu Su saw that Yao Jun agreed, and looked very happy, his eyes lit up with a little excitement.

Yao Jun saw that Qiu Su was so interested, and he just laughed, no matter what kind of game it was, he was not interested at all, he couldn't understand what kind of magic these games had, which could make people addicted to it, go crazy for it, and sink until they sank.

Qiu Su walked to Yao Jun's side, took his hand, and walked in the direction of the pachinko shop together.

When Qiu Su held his hand, Yao Jun's heart jumped, and for a moment he wanted to retract his hand, although he had held Qiu Su's hand for a long time before, but it was a matter of urgency, just to protect Qiu Su, although there were some other careful thoughts, but the main purpose was indeed so.

However, being pulled by Qiu Su made Yao Jun feel guilty for betraying Xiao Tao, just looking at Qiu Su's face full of excitement, Yao Jun was not good at ruining his fun at this time, so he didn't refuse.

What's more, Qiu Su's little hands are really smooth and tender to the touch, and they are very comfortable, which makes Yao Jun's heart feel like a kitten scratching.

As soon as he stepped into the store, Yao Jun thought he had walked out of the place.

The shop was a bit cramped, with dozens of pachinko machines, but none of them were activated, and even the whole shop was lit with only a dim warm yellow light bulb, which looked a little eerie and boring.

There are more than a dozen jars of glass jars with various snacks on the cash register, which are all rice cakes, rice candy, fruit-flavored chewing gum and the like, even if Yao Jun sees it, he thinks these things are very old.

At least the snacks in the grocery stores in the small mountain village are basically not seen, and perhaps this is why Qiu Su came here, in the words of a reader, this is a feeling.

The owner of the pachinko parlor was a thin, swarthy, gray-haired old man with thick reading glasses, at least seventy years old, sleeping soundly on a recliner behind the cash register.

Qiu Su stood on tiptoe and walked over quietly, like a naughty little girl, she made a silent gesture with Yao Jun very playfully, and then slowly lowered her body and used Xiao Mi's tail to scratch under the old man's nose.

"Ahh

Obviously, the owner of the pachinko shop was very familiar with Qiu Su, and the two exchanged a few words, Yao Jun didn't understand what they were saying, it should be a small regional dialect, but he could probably guess that it was nothing more than some greetings or something like that.

I don't know what Qiu Su said to the boss, the boss would turn his head from time to time and look at Yao Jun with cloudy eyes, that kind of look made Yao Jun feel that it was very much like an old father looking at his son-in-law who came to visit him for the first time, which made Yao Jun feel uncomfortable.

After talking for about five minutes, the old man nodded, and slowly walked to the wall of the door, where there was something similar to a power switch, which was very old, and he struggled to pull the handle up.

All of a sudden, the rather noisy sound of "Bang Bang La" stimulated Yao Jun's ears and startled him, dozens of pachinko machines, shining with colorful light, tinkling and dingdong, there is a kind of magic that can lure the hearts of guests.

"The Japanese have a saying like this, 'go to work, go to the subway, go to marbles, go to sleep', these are the four major programs for Japanese office workers day after day, when I was studying in Japan, I often went to play marbles, of course, after returning to China, I also looked for a long time to find here, I will work in the Environmental Protection Bureau, at the beginning it was also for this pachinko shop, just ...... I haven't been here for a long time. At the end of the sentence, Qiu Su's tone became a little sluggish.

Yao Jun guessed in his heart that the reason why Qiu Su didn't come back should have something to do with the wall at the end of the alley, and those deep nail dents are still a little shocking when I think about it now.

Qiu Su took out a red ticket and exchanged two hundred marbles from the boss, and pulled Yao Jun to a pachinko machine with mahjong patterns, Qiu Su naturally sat on the rotating chair, put the iron box containing marbles aside, Yao Jun stood beside her and hugged Xiao Mi, looking at her quietly.

I saw Qiu Su very skillfully put the marbles in the groove tunnel, and her white little hand held the handle of the control marble in the lower right corner, licked her lips, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she began to twist the control handle, and the marbles ejected with her movements.

The machine relies on the force of the twist to control the direction of the marbles, and with different forces, the marbles will be ejected at different angles.

Although Qiu Su's movements are very skillful, I have to say that she is a game black hole, no matter how she operates, she doesn't get a reward, and she just misses it every time, which makes Yao Jun look a little anxious.

After watching it a few times, Yao Jun probably knew how to play, he also had some itchy hands, and wanted to step forward to play a few games, but seeing Qiu Su's smile on his face, that heartfelt smile made him give up.

He just stood quietly by Qiu Su's side, watching her forget to load the marbles again and again, twist the handle again and again, and then make a sound of chagrin again and again, and start another game excitedly.

In this process, Yao Jun didn't say a word, and even communicated with Xiao Mi with his mind to keep it quiet, just like that, he quietly accompanied Qiu Su to play games.

Two hundred marbles, because they didn't win a single one, so the game was almost over in an hour.
