006, the battle of marbles
The game of playing marbles is the favorite game of rural children at this time, first draw a boundary on the ground, and then go to a place two or three meters away and embed glass marbles into the mud ground, recess into a round hole, just the size of marbles, and then embed a nest three or four meters away.
Each boy took about seven or eight glass marbles in his hand, hooked his index finger into an arc, put the marbles in the middle of the index finger socket, put his thumb behind the marbles, and flicked them forward.
Chen Yuezhi stood outside the boundary, and when he saw the second brother's thumb like this, the colorful glass marbles rolled quickly from the ground in the direction of the nest, and everyone's hearts immediately rose to their throats, and their eyes stared at the ground without blinking, but the marbles were naughty, and they circled around the nest a few times, but they didn't go in.
"Come in, fast forward." Chen Mingzhi thumped his hands hard and held back his cheeks, as if he could help the marble exert his strength, but unfortunately, after turning around a few times, instead of approaching, the marble became farther and farther away from the nest.
"Haha, Chen Mingzhi, you are determined to lose this time, get ready for marbles." A chubby black boy was followed by two snotty children.
Playing marbles, the loser has to give his marbles to the winner, Chen Yuezhi remembered that there was a time in his previous life, Chen Mingzhi won dozens of marbles, but since this black fat boy came, his marbles have only lost a few.
The black fat boy is the grandson of the current village chief's family, the big name is Daniel Zhang, the little name is Heizi, don't look at him black and fat and fat, but on the marbles, he is extremely skillful, unlike ordinary people who just squat on the ground, but lying on the ground, almost level with the ground, that looks like aiming.
The thumb cover was pushed hard, and a green marble bounced out like an assembly line, and the force he used was neither light nor heavy, so when the marble only rolled to the edge of the socket, it stopped, and everyone beat their feet and chests, and only a little bit went in.
If you can bounce directly into the nest, you can win two marbles, and if you need to take another step like this, you can only win one marble.
Chen Mingzhi glanced at his green marbles a little dejectedly, several meters away from the nest, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compare to Kuroko's marbles, so he could only pick up a marble from his hand and hand it out.
However, he was not convinced, and continued to fight, but in less than one breath, he lost only one marble.
"Chen Mingzhi, can you do it? Do you have marbles, and if you don't, I can't take you to play. The other boys screamed.
Chen Mingzhi's face turned red, gritted his teeth and said, "You wait, I'll buy it now, and I'll be back soon." ”
Chen Mingzhi thought about the five cents that his mother bought him for a pencil a few days ago, and it was still in the drawer, so he hurriedly took it to the commissary.
Before Chen Mingzhi took two steps, he was dragged by Chen Yuezhi, his eyes bulging like a goldfish: "Black girl, why are you holding me, let me go, I'm going to buy marbles, I must win my marbles back today." ”
"Second brother, you don't have to buy it, I can help you win it back, but there is one condition." Chen Yuezhi said mysteriously.
"Cut, you can play marbles, don't brag, I don't believe it, I heard Yao Xiaomei say, you can't even jump the rubber band, you can't play what girls should play, you can also play boys' games? , you'll be there. Chen Mingzhi struggled, but he didn't expect to struggle, his face was full of impatience.
"Am I bragging, you'll know in a moment, I just ask if you dare to let me try, the conditions are very tempting, if I can't do it, I can't win back all the marbles you lost, then I'll help you write a week's homework, how about it?"
Someone writes a week's homework, this is a great temptation, Chen Mingzhi blinked, and was sure that he would not suffer, so he hugged his arms and said: "Black girl, this is what you said yourself, don't sue in front of your mother when the time comes, otherwise I will make you look good." ”
Chen Mingzhi always calls Chen Yuezhi a black girl, firstly because she is black and thin, and secondly because she is a family planning superchild.
But it's really strange to say, Li Qingxia and Chen Wei's skin is very white, and Chen Wei is also handsome, Li Qingxia was also a flower in his hometown when he was young.
The eldest daughter and two sons in the family have completely inherited the advantages of their parents, I don't know why Chen Yuezhi seems to be an accident, his complexion is dark, and his appearance is neutral, he said that he picked it up, and some people really believe it, because he doesn't look like Chen Wei and Li Qingxia at all.
"Don't worry, I won't lose, remember what you just said, if I win all your marbles back, you'll have to listen to me next, how about it?"
Chen Mingzhi immediately waved his hand impatiently, agreeing faster than anyone else, because he thought it was impossible.
Chen Yuezhi ignored him, directly picked up the only remaining marble, walked in front of the sunspot, raised his head to look at the sunspot who was a head taller than her and said, "I want to challenge you, do you dare to fight?" ”
Kuroko lowered his head and looked at the thin black girl in front of him, and laughed: "What did you just say, you want to challenge me?" Playing marbles, are you sure? ”
"That's right, I'm sure, if you're not confident enough, I can give you three marbles." Chen Yuezhi was not tall enough, so he could only try his best to keep his head straight, his head high, and his eyes looking directly at the sunspot, not afraid of his small tower-like black figure and fierce face.
The boys around them all burst into laughter, and even the girls who were dancing over there also came around, chattering and talking, some coaxing, some watching the excitement, some sneering, and some persuading Chen Yuezhi not to mess around.
"Little girl, if you lose, you have to pay for marbles, you only have one, don't cry when the time comes?"
"That's it, Chen Mingzhi, are you a man, you actually let your sister come forward?"
"If you can't afford to lose, don't play!"
"Chen Mingzhi, if you are willing to call me big brother, and listen to me in the future, how about I give you ten marbles?"
Chen Mingzhi's face was flushed red, and he was about to pull Chen Yuezhi's hand, but Chen Yuezhi was like a loach, he didn't see how his sister walked at all, and he got rid of him all of a sudden, which made him feel a little incredible.
"Kuroko, I don't think you dare to bet, right? Are you afraid that you will be scolded for losing these marbles in your hand? If you are so timid, then just admit defeat, I will not sue others for your timidity. Chen Yuezhi was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and went directly to the law.
Kuroko was really angry, and with the fanning of the two younger brothers behind him, he decided to fight.
"To save time, we don't need to play them one by one, it's too much trouble, you just pop them all out as many marbles as you have in your hand. When you're done playing, I'll come, and if my marbles pop out farther than any of you, then even if I lose, not only will the marbles go to you, but you'll be our boss in the future, but if I'm closer than you, then I'll win a game. Do you dare to bet? ”
"Okay, since you little girl wants to give marbles to my master, then I will fulfill you." With a smug smile on his face, Kuroko lay on the ground and began to play marbles again.
He had a total of more than forty marbles in his hand and two followers, and suddenly there were colorful and crystal-like glass marbles everywhere next to the nest, but it was a pity that all the forty marbles were bounced out, but none of them went directly into the nest.
But his skills are still very good, there are seven or eight at the door of the nest, as long as he touches it lightly, he can enter the nest, and in the case of such a surrounding, Yu Chen Yuezhi is very disadvantaged, because her marbles must pass through those places to enter the nest, and when she touches the marbles of the sunspot, then the marbles of the sunspot will go into the nest first, then she will lose.
old
Mingzhi's face became even more ugly, he let out a breath, pulled down Chen Yuezhi's sleeve and said, "Give him the marbles, and we'll go home." ”
"Second brother, don't you want to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, I haven't made a move yet, how do you know that I will lose?" Chen Yuezhi slowly walked to the side of the line, but he didn't squat down, nor did he lie on his stomach like a sunspot, she just stood straight and pestle.
Chen Mingzhi is no longer hopeful, his sister doesn't even know how to play marbles, a nerd who used to only study, today she actually had a convulsion in her head and came to the competition to play marbles, which is really a shame.
"If you don't go, I'll go." Why shouldn't he lose face here with Chen Yuezhi?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he heard a gasping sound from behind: "How is it possible, this, how is this possible?" Oh my God, it's amazing! ”
