Chapter 204: Hopscotch
"You have a lot of things to play in the countryside! The spiritual life is no worse than the outside! Chen Wu interjected.
Chu Jiaqiang did not speak, did not deny it, and did not affirm it. There are so many things in it that are too hard to put into words. Urbanites are more dependent on science, and villagers are traditional. These little toys and games are passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors.
In fact, many rural children want to play game consoles, ride a roller coaster on TV, bumper cars or something. The most advanced game machine in the village was a game machine in the shape of a calculator.
This old-fashioned console, which is almost impossible to find in the city, is very popular in the countryside. Even though they could only play Tetris with the same music repeated, they still had a lot of fun. It's a pity that this thing costs more than ten or twenty yuan, where do ordinary children get so much money? Even if there is, it may not be willing to smash it all, not to mention that this thing also needs batteries, which is another expense.
Chu Jiaqiang also explained a little common sense, hopscotch is actually not a folk game in our country, but brought in by the West after the Opium War, which belongs to a worldwide children's game.
"It's rare to see these in the city now, and maybe some backward schools will still spread one or two." Wan Lao also felt kind when he saw these small games.
There are many games with a strong atmosphere of life and different styles in various folk places, which are called folk games, which have left good memories of childhood in the minds of many people. Just like those children who played paper before, soon some people recalled their previous memories and told Chu Jiaqiang that they were not called paper fighting men, but cigarette cards.
In that distant childhood, the most impressive thing was playing blanket kicking, hopscotch, and picking up chess pieces with my neighbors and friends in the fresh air and sunny open space and yard whenever I had time.
However, these vivid and interesting folk games are no longer familiar to children, and high-tech products such as televisions, computers, and shadows have entered every household, and modern children are more fond of these novel high-tech electronic toys.
Folk games have a strong regional literary atmosphere, simple gameplay, easy to learn, strong fun, simple materials, not limited by the number of people, venues, and environments, and need to be inherited. This belongs to the category of cultural inheritance, and perhaps, when technology completely penetrates all corners, these fun toys and games will no longer exist.
Soon, a "house" appeared on the ground. In fact, it is to draw squares on the ground that merge together. Inside the box, sign "1, 2, 3......". Here are some tips to jump in these order when you jump for a while. Therefore, this kind of game is also called jumping squares, or jumping squares.
"So it's hopscotch! I've seen it before, some children on the concrete floor, drawing with chalk. Some tourists said.
In the past, I found that in the open space in front of my house, or on the side of the road where there is no car, I can draw a house and play for a long time. Jumping on one foot and two feet, the children's hair flies, and the mood is even more joyful!
"It's said to be a game left over from ancient Rome, and I've seen some foreigners play it too."
These words surprised Chu Jiaqiang, he didn't expect it to be a foreign thing, he always thought it was his own country, and he didn't expect it to be popular outside.
The style of the "house" is also not prescribed, and there are many of them, so you can use your imagination freely. Generally speaking, the more popular ones are six-grid rooms, ten-grid rooms, wide rooms, dome rooms, big tree rooms, airplane rooms, round rooms, plum huā rooms, and so on.
"How do you jump? I'll try it too. Zhou Furong said with his hands in his hands.
When the others looked at his size, they secretly wondered: Can you do it? Of course, some people clearly wanted to see Zhou Furong make a fool of himself, and unanimously agreed to let him try it first.
At this time, a child came out and told everyone some rules. Originally, there were rules for who came first, everyone rock-paper-scissors, and the winner played first.
First, sandbags or stones or tiles or bracelets must be kicked forward one by one, not overstepping, not pressing, otherwise it is a mistake: second, a mistake can be made in the next round, starting from the mistake grid and continuing to jump down: third, not staying in the square for a long time.
In addition, after all the grids are jumped, you can choose a grid from [self], take it as your own, the next time you jump to that place, you can rest on both feet for a while and then jump, when other people or tiles to this place, you must jump or kick, no human realm. Victory is won when one side occupies more than half of the square. When the tile is thrown in the wrong place, or the tile is pressed on the line, the foot accidentally steps on the line when jumping or the tile is kicked out of the extra or pressed the line, it is considered a failure, and the opponent jumps.
"You can also occupy a square as a base camp! That's a good idea. Zhou Furong was even happier.
"Don't be too happy, first of all, it's a question of whether you can finish the jump. Secondly, although it is said that after the jump, you can choose a grid from yourself and rest as your base camp. But it's not like you can choose it if you say it. After the jump, you can observe the area you need, then turn around, turn your back to the house, and throw the bracelet or tile in your hand. The bracelet or tile is yours when it falls inside, which is called building a house. Chu Jiaqiang struck, looking at Zhou Furong's unbeaten appearance, he couldn't help but say a few words.
Then, Chu Jiaqiang turned to the others and said, "You can draw a few more!" Generally, three or four people are better, too many people are unhappy to wait. The gameplay is also varied, depending on the form you draw. ”
The others nodded, but did not do it immediately, but first saw how Zhou Furong coped with the first level.
"Old silk! If I jump all the time, will I win? Zhou Furong suddenly thought of a question.
"It's like winning the first game, but the big winner is the one who laughs at the end, and you are the ultimate king only by taking all the squares for yourself." Chu Jiaqiang replied that this is also a full house in the game. He felt that it was superfluous to answer this question with Zhou Furong, this guy would definitely not be able to finish the first game, and he didn't have that long-term worry at all.
Zhou Furong picked up a piece of broken tiles that had just fallen down and threw it in the first square in front of his feet. Who knew that after the broken tile fell into the square, it flipped over a few times, and finally turned out of the square.
Zhou Furong's eyes were round, and he couldn't speak. Others were stunned and then laughed. Chu Jiaqiang was also speechless, so he could be thrown out of bounds, which really convinced him.
"I said the third child, don't be ashamed." Ye Jisheng looked like he had been defeated.
