Chapter 3: Sisterhood and Childhood Infatuation [Act 1] Repaired (3)
Just as Mitsuru Tajiri was swearing viciously, on the train to Berlin, the chess game of the two Oriental women continued. Around them, there were a lot of people with high noses and deep eyes, some of them were their classmates, and some were passengers from other carriages who were attracted to them. For a moment, the cramped carriage seemed very lively.
These spectators, who are well versed in framing and ornate chess, are paying attention with great interest to the black and white chess pieces that are arranged in a patchwork in front of them, and under the clever layout of two black-haired and black-eyed Oriental girls, the chessboard that looks like a criss-crossing railway line outside the car window is speeding like a train, but they are competing for each other!
"Yolanta, guess who will be the winner in the end, Mia or Xu?" On Xu Pingjun's side, a woman with golden-brown ear-length curly hair, stared at Christina, who had already recovered her spirit, with a pair of lake-blue eyes, but her eyes never left the chessboard, this backgammon has gradually become popular in European countries, looking at the criss-crossing black and white chessboard, I can't help but sigh at the subtlety and profundity of the black and white world.
Christina looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard for a moment and shrugged: "Who is the winner, I don't think even Almighty God can judge lightly." β
As Christina said, even God Almighty cannot say who will win in the end.
Look at this chessboard:
One side is aggressive and unstoppable;
On the one hand, it is a camp step by step, and there are needles hidden in the cotton;
Unconsciously, although this chessboard is covered almost tightly by black and white chess, and it has entered the fierce official stage, it is still difficult to solve!
Xu Pingjun saw that Heizi couldn't help dodging many forbidden areas, and the corners of his mouth were lightly raised--White really walked freely without any prohibitions, and he could even set many traps for Black at any time, forcing him to break the ban and lose. &65288;&26825;&33457;&31958;&23567;&35828;&32593;&32;&87;&119;&119;&46;&77;&105;&97;&110;&72;&117;&97;&84;&97;&110;&103;&46;&67;&99;&32;&25552;&20379;&84;&120;&116; &20813;&36153;&19979;&36733;&65289;When it settled again, she pointed to the plate and smiled smugly at Yuwei in front of her: "You and I have less than ten left." If you don't decide, you'll really lose. β
Yu Wei didn't say a word, only winked mischievously at Xu Pingjun, and unhurriedly dropped a sunspot next to a certain white child, which immediately cut off Xu Pingjun's intention to become five again [65].
Suddenly, there was a lot of applause and applause, after all, compared to White, it was not easy for Black, who was bound by various prohibitions, to move steadily. What's more, although the official stage is nearing the end, it is also extremely critical, so that many people with exquisite chess skills can't survive this last moment, make a wrong move, and regret losing.
On the chessboard, there were two more crisp drops, and at this moment, the people around them no longer had the previous noise, but only pointed to the chess game that had been deadlocked for several hours, sighing for the final outcome of the black and white sons. Christina turned around in a daze and shook her head in disbelief: "I don't want to be near the end, but I actually hid a 'lore'-"
Xu Pingjun leisurely brushed up the broken hair on his forehead, looked at Yu Wei, raised his lips and smiled: "It's really wonderful, the so-called 'you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder'." β
"It's wonderful, Miss Pingjun." Yu Wei looked around at the crowd gathered around her, laughed heartily, stretched out her hand and swept the chessboard, and immediately disrupted the chess game. She slowly picked up the black and white sons and put them back into their respective chess jars: "It's a life-and-death competition, which reminds me of the fight back then." β
After that, the two tacitly looked at each other and laughed, because in the school's forbidden backgammon final, they also faced off like this and ended like this. Xu Pingjun groaned, and after a while, he said a sentence to Yuwei in the Wu dialect that no Western Europeans present could understand, then carried the Kun bag, got up and followed the slowly dispersed chess spectators, and left the carriage.
Yu Wei didn't get up, but calmly put away the chessboard, and then took the blue dolphin pendant, walked out of the carriage, and went straight to the bathroom. When she walked into this small space filled with choking smoke and pungent stench, she saw Xu Pingjun folded his hands on his chest, raised his eyebrows and looked directly at her, and said word by word in Chinese: "You and I are destined to reunite, respected student union president Lan Yuwei." β
"Each other, Hu Ruotong, a top student in the Department of Forensic Medicine." Yu Wei raised her lips and smiled, not shocked because the other party revealed her true identity, after the last word, she rushed to her friend, the two girls hugged each other tightly, Yu Wei choked up, "I'm sorry - please forgive me for threatening to break up with you for the real estate - so when I was in Beijing and on the Rhine, I kept calling your mobile phone to apologize to you, but you never answered." I was - I was talking too much -- "
Xu Pingjun bit her lip, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks. She hugged Yuwei more and more with her arms, and sobbed: "It's me who is sorry for you-I met someone unladylike, and I have ruined the friendship between you and me for more than ten years in a daze--I am the one who should apologize-" After speaking, she let go of the other party and squatted down sharply, "Please forgive me, Weiwei!" Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten up! β
"What are you doing!? Get up and speak for me! Seeing Xu Pingjun kneeling at her feet, Yu Wei hurriedly pulled her up and said angrily, "Remember what Chen Meiyi, the president of the Hanfu Society, said when we were in college?" 'You wait to learn those braided scenes and kneel at every turn, where is the dignity of Yanhuang!? 'I don't know how you have traveled to this era, but you must remember that you are now the daughter of a famous anti-Japanese general, if you are so undignified, let me forgive you! β
Xu Pingjun smiled, straightened up, and sighed: "Do you know that it is this awe-inspiring aura that allows me to immediately distinguish that you are not Lin Jingru in the school?" On the eve of studying abroad, I met Lin Jingru several times at St. John's University, how can her fierce and introverted personality be compared to you? In addition, her jerky German proves that even if you look alike, you are two very different people. β
"Exactly! Therefore, I know very well that my current identity has deceived all the people in this world, and it is impossible to hide it from you. You and I have lived under the same roof for more than ten years, how can we not know each other's personalities? Yu Wei stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the other party's cheeks and smiled happily, "Similarly, I also know your words and deeds." She then briefly recounted how she came to this era, omitting the existence of the mysterious man in black. After speaking, she asked, "But you and I are different after allβI am involved in this era, and my body is still the same; And your appearance, which is very different from before, is by no means the same nature as me, is it that you are Xiaotong's past and present life now? β
Xu Pingjun stared at his hands, his eyes flashed with pain, and he said abruptly: "After saying goodbye to your airport that day, I was run over by a truck because I didn't pay attention to the traffic situationββ"
"What?" Yu Wei's face turned pale, and she reached out to cover her lips in horror, and Ping Jun lowered her eyes gloomily, "When I woke up, I realized that I had come to Shanghai in 1938 to restore this dead body to life. Maybe this is the 'soul piercing' in the time-traveling novel, or maybe it's similar to Tie Gui Li's 'borrowing the corpse to return the soul'[66]-"
"Say no more! Xiaotong! Yu Wei interrupted Xu Pingjun's words, hugged her tightly, shook her head with remorse, and kept saying, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, if it weren't for my previous words, how could you have suffered this series of terrible things?" It comforts me that at least you're alive, living 'here', and I'm 'here'. I hope this time, we can clear up all the misunderstandings in the past and renew our friendship. β
Pingjun looked at the blue dolphin pendant in his hand, 'um', and said: "Vote for me with a peach, repay it with Qiong Yao, repay it with a bandit, and always think it is good - Weiwei, don't worry, I'm Hu Ruotong, no, I promise Pingjun any more actions against you in the future, I am willing to suffer a thousand cuts, and there will be no complaints!" β
As soon as the words fell, a violent knock on the door suddenly interrupted Ping Jun's words, and an extremely impatient scolding sound came from outside the door!
Xu Pingjun's face changed drastically, and he quickly scanned the bugs that she had blocked with duct tape in advance out of the corner of his eye. Knowing that those spies listening in the car must have discovered the inexplicable 'malfunction' of the eavesdropping device in the bathroom, they came to find out. She groaned slightly, and whispered to Yuwei: "Weiwei, you and I will have a chance to talk in detail in the future." Now listen to me: leave here at once, and then pretend to complain to the one who knocks on the door, and make no mistake. Otherwise, you and I will surely die! β
"So what do you do? Xiaotong - No, Pingjun, I can't lose you anymore! Yuwei glanced at the door that had been knocked on the earth, and realized that the Gestapo outside must have noticed something strange in the bathroom and came to arrest the suspicious people. Although I don't quite understand how they found out about this strangeness, this time, she will not give up this precious friendship again. She hugged Xu Pingjun's shoulders and gritted her teeth, "I can't leave you!" Let's go together! Stay together! β
Exegesis:
[65] Five: Contains five pieces of the same color to form a company, including five companies and long links.
[66] 'Resurrection by corpse': The so-called resurrection of a person's soul after death attaches to the corpse of another person. According to legend, Tiegui Li's original name was Li Xuan, and he once met Taishang Laojun to get the way. Once, its soul left its body and wandered among the three mountains and five mountains. Before leaving, he instructed his apprentice to take care of the body, but Li Xuan's soul wandered around and lingered. The apprentice waited for a long time, and saw that the master's body was always frozen there, and he could not survive, so he mistakenly thought that he was dead, so he cremated him. When Li Xuan returned, his body was gone, and his soul had no place to return. It happened that there was a starving beggar on the side of the road nearby, and the corpse was still fresh, so Li Xuan attached his soul to the beggar corpse in a hurry. After borrowing the corpse to return to the soul, Li Xuan was unrecognizable from the original Li Xuan, unkempt, with an open belly and exposed chest, and a limp.
