Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mecca
"Snow festival competition? Fold, what are you going to carve? ”
The boy slapped the snow ball with his hand, intending to tighten it up and use it as the snowman's lower body.
"I haven't decided yet, let's get the people together first, and then we will decide after discussing it together. Mamura, do you want to be together? ”
I reached out and rolled the snowball on the ground, and then slapped it firmly, and soon made a tight snowball about 50 centimeters in diameter. Yarn whispered to Mika on the side, because of the snow, the two hadn't seen each other for several days, and they chatted for a long time. However, the yarn personality is a little introverted, and most of it is Meijia who keeps talking, and the yarn occasionally echoes the previous sentence.
"Go! Go! ”
Mamura didn't speak, but Mika shouted, she clenched her fists and cheered: "Fold, you are the leader and king of our Brave Legion, we will do whatever you say!" Lead our Brave Army to win the championship! ”
"If you want to go, you must inform your parents first, and you must have an adult to participate in the competition at our age. Mika, no problem, right? ”
I shrugged my shoulders, Mika's big grin personality was the opposite of Sasa, almost like a boy. Despite this personality, Mika is a very popular girl among her peers, and the deceased child I know, Rieto Yokoyama, has always had feelings of affection for her. In addition to him, there are several other children who have varying degrees of affection for Mika.
This is not only because Mika can mingle with other boys without barriers, but also because she has a beautiful appearance that is not inferior to yarn. If you want to say that Yarn is a doll carved in pink, then Meijia can be said to be a finely carved doll.
Her eyes were large and long, with slightly upturned tails, and she looked like fox eyes, which looked a little charming. However, the contours of her facial features are slightly tougher, which dilutes the softness brought by her eyes, but makes people feel a kind of illusion of dignified posture. As for the hair, it is slightly longer than that of boys, about the shape of the collarbone, and it is not carefully cared for, but it is loosened to the sides and tucked behind the pinna.
I have to mention that there is a slight scar under the tip of Meijia's left eyebrow, which looks like a bright red teardrop flowing down from the corner of her eye. According to her own account, the scar left by the skewer skewer of the temple fair apple candy when she was four years old was only a small dot at first, but as she grew up, the scar also became larger, and the color became much brighter, and it looked more and more like a drop of blood and tears - this is not a good face, she herself feels quite satisfied, saying that she shed blood and tears for mankind like a hero, both blood and tears, very handsome.
I slapped her on the head with tears and laughter: "In this case, the peace of the world and the survival of the country are entrusted to you, and as the king, I will look forward to your war song of victory for mankind." ”
As a result, she really gave me a kiss on the hand, and almost didn't make me laugh out loud, and I don't know where this little girl seems to be messy stories.
I don't know what others think, but I think from the face of it, this scar is really not very good, it looks like a tear mole. Tears are lovesick tears, which means that the owner will be trapped for emotions, and fate is also floating like rootless duckweed. There is another theory that a person with a tear mole has a tough personality and a tough personality, and in the end will cause the people who love her or her loved ones to suffer and torture - although they are all superstitious statements, but I have even encountered things that have passed through thousands of years, and superstition cannot be all considered false.
However, although it looks like a tear mole, it is actually a scar, and even if the face is real, the possibility of a miracle is estimated to be pitiful.
"No problem, my mom and dad will be competing. Speaking of which, my dad was the third place in the adult category of the small ice sculpture individual competition last year. ”
Meijia waved her hand carelessly, and suddenly grabbed my shoulders with both hands quickly and accurately, and her dark eyes swept over me: "Fold, Sha lives in your house now, you can't bully her!" Last time, you disguised yourself as a mountain demon and got out of a tree, it was very, very bad! I'm nothing, but Sasha is terrified - if you do it again, I'll beat you even if you fold it. ”
"Yes, yes...... You've said this a few times, and you all said that it was just an accident, and I originally wanted to scare them, but who knew that the yarn was also there. ”
I shrugged my shoulders and nodded with a sigh. Even with an adult mind, once in a while, I'll play a prank or make some outrageous jokes or something. On one occasion, in particular, I was so annoyed by a few mischievous children that I told them adapted weird stories on a whim, and on a whim I dressed up as ghosts to scare the children—and the end result was that several of them went home crying at dusk, including yarn.
Of course, Yarn was completely injured by mistake, and I didn't expect Yarn and Mika to be mixed up in those boys' pile. Saa was scared and cried at that time, but Mika next to her was not scared at all, and planned to rush up to me and fight, and I don't know why she was so bold.
"Eun, fold, what a good boy."
Meijia looked like a big sister, and stretched out her hand to touch my head, but I slapped it away with my backhand: "Come less." Meijia, I said you, don't always think about making a big news to criticize me. I don't know how much higher Miss Liuzhi's level is than you, I talk and laugh with her. ”
"Huh? Fold, what are you talking about? What is News (ニユース/niyusu)? Which unknown fruit juice (ジュース / jusu)? I don't understand much, but I feel like it's amazing. ”
Meijia was a little confused, but she could understand the latter sentence, so she nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, Sa's mother is quite scary, how can I say it...... It feels like she's criticizing people in every word. It's really powerful to say this, only you dare to talk casually with Miss Liuzhi, and you are worthy of being our leader. ”
"It's nothing, just let me babble."
I sighed and shrugged my shoulders again. The lack of memory in my past life makes me sometimes feel inexplicable about my speech, and occasionally I will suddenly say something that I can't figure out like a blessing to my soul, such as the sentence just now is purely unintentional, and I don't know what the meaning of the words is at all...... Well, I don't know anything.
Saza pursed her lips and snickered, and although Mika and I were talking about her, she didn't care at all.
"Huh...... It's really weird, and sometimes I always say something inexplicable. ”
Meika tilted her head, and after complaining, she turned her head to look at Mamura and urged: "Mamura, hurry up." ”
The gourd-like Mamura didn't lift his head and continued to make the upper body of the snowman: "You mean the snowman or what?" ”
"I mean, you hurry up and decide if you want to participate."
Meijia pursed her lips, and sighed helplessly, like a little old man: "Mamura, don't always look like you can't lift up, I don't know and think you're a dumb person." Come, one, two, three, the answer? ”
As if sensing something, Mamura trembled, he raised his head tremblingly, swallowed up and down in his throat, and nodded fiercely: "Go, I'll go." ”
"Eun, Mamura is such a good boy."
With a satisfied smile on her face, Mika quietly reached for the hand knife on top of Mamura's head and flipped it into her palm, gently touching the back of Mamura's head. Mamura let out a sigh and relaxed: "I'll go back and tell my parents later, if they don't allow it, I can't do anything." ”
"Don't worry, we'll tell your mom and dad when the time comes."
Mika didn't care about Mamura's excuses, she patted her chest confidently, and looked like she could solve anything. Mamura also knew her character, so she scratched her head, lowered her head stupidly and continued to make a snowman, and muttered quietly: "It's really troublesome, can't you stop tossing so much on this cold day." ”
Ignoring Mamura's muttering, Mika pulls the yarn and goes to the side to rummage through the snowdrifts, trying to find a few dead branches to use as the snowman's arms. Mamura and I continued to build snowmen, and soon Mika and Yarn collected the decoration materials for the snowmen and came over to help.
After breakfast this morning, after the snow had stopped, I was going to ask a few friends my age if they would like to participate in the snow festival together, so I went out with Sa, planning to visit their house. Who knew that when passing by the hill, he actually ran into Mika and Mamura head-on.
After a few small talks, we decided to clean up the small wooden house next to the banyan tree at the top of the hill, this small wooden house was built by me and a few other children in ten days, the area is about six or seven square meters, the ground is tamped by the passing adults with magic power, and twelve wooden stakes are driven into the ground, and then we ask the adults of the timber workshop to ask for some rough planks, and the twelve wooden stakes are nailed into a wooden house nearly two meters high.
Although it was inseparable from the help of some adults in the process, and it was only a small building in the form of a child's base, when it was built, my heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. There may be a creative instinct in everyone's body, which is not part of work, but a simple desire to make large objects out of nothing—a desire that is evident in the fact that everyone builds secret bases with their friends when they are young, or stacks objects with building blocks.
This is what distinguishes humans from other animals, and I stubbornly believe that the reason why humans are not beasts is because they know how to create all kinds of things. Humans are creative beings, while beasts are dependent beings—as we all know, the reason why God is a god must be his first power to create the world.
From this point of view, man is the closest life to God, because human beings actually have the power of God at the moment of birth. However, because everyone has it, no one thinks it is rare.
After cleaning up the cabin, Mika proposed to build a snowman around it, so Mamura and I, as boys, were in charge of the main structure of the snowman. Sawa Mika, as a girl, is in charge of easy material collection.
When the two girls gathered the materials and came to help, the main body of the snowman was quickly constructed, and a snowman composed of three parts: the base, the lower body, and the upper body was erected next to the wooden house. We used snowflakes to fill in the three parts where they were combined, patted tightly with our hands so that the three parts were glued into a whole, and then we used wooden sticks to shape the snowman.
When the snowman's body is shaped, the job is over. Then it's time for the girls, who are in charge of decorating the snowman to their satisfaction. Mamura and I shrunk under the extended roof of the hut and sat down, chatting.
