Chapter 42: The Time is Just Time
"Fly a kite!" A group of small children cheered loudly.
"Which of you wants to be the first to fly a kite with a string?" The older boy asked, holding the kite aloft.
"Me!"
"I also thought, didn't you let it go last time? This time it was my turn. ”
"I want to fly a kite too."
"I stole this linen from home, and I should put it away."
"Then I brought this paper!"
"It's still my color!"
……
inevitably, it will be another "war of words"
"That's it!" The older boy said, "Let's let our new friends fly the kites first, you can play later, everyone has a chance, don't worry." ”
As he spoke, the boy handed us the kite, smiled and said, "Let's play with you this time, by the way, let's get to know me, my name is Li Li, the power of strength, what about you?" ”
"My name is Chen Lin, the forest of the woods."
"My name is Zhao Jiaxin, the beauty of the beauty, the fragrance of the fragrance."
I also followed the introduction: "My name is Li Sheng, Sheng of Shengyang." ”
"My name is Sun Hua, gorgeous Hua." The current owner of the "Tiger God" said loudly.
……
"Li Li, how do you fly a kite? It's the first time we've played, and I don't know. Xin'er asked.
"You get this right." Li Li handed the wooden stick wrapped around the string to Xin'er's hand and said, "Later, I will hold up the kite in front of the wind, and you will run after me, and release the string piece by piece as you run, until the kite floats steadily in the air." ”
"No, I have very little strength, and I won't be able to hold on to the stick." Xin'er immediately refused.
"It's okay, it doesn't take a lot of effort to do this." Li Li explained, "You can fly a kite just by doing what I said, and the wind is right now, so you can have fun." ”
Xin'er grabbed the wooden stick in disbelief, and jogged behind Li Li, Li Li held the kite high in front, his running speed gradually accelerated, suddenly, he threw the kite upwards, Xin'er according to what he said, slowly put the line while running, the kite slowly stabilized, floating in the air, swaying and shaking slightly with the wind.
Xin'er continued to run forward in a daze, letting out a crisp laugh.
"Zhao Jiaxin, don't run forward, there is a tree in front." Li Li shouted loudly from behind.
Xin'er turned around and ran back when she heard this, the kite was swaying and dancing in the air, like a butterfly waving in the wind, but it was actually more like a black crow, it should have been painted too much black, so that the whole kite looked black.
The wind became smaller, and seeing that the kite was about to fall, Li Li instructed Xin'er loudly: "Reel the line backwards!" Retract the line! ”
Slowly, the kite rose upwards again.
When Li Li helped Xin'er retract the kite, the string was suddenly torn off.
"The kite is broken!" Sun Hua shouted. I saw the kite with a broken string flying aimlessly in the air, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes with a tendency to slide downward, and then suddenly rising up into the sky. This frustrated the children below, who ran forward and backwards quickly, all the while keeping their heads up to see where the kite in the sky was going.
"The kite has landed." I don't know who shouted, suddenly, they ran forward suddenly, Chen Lin and Xin'er ran over, I walked slowly behind, maybe my mind was too mature, I couldn't feel the joy that this age should have, I just wanted to accompany Xin'er, I wanted to see Xin'er laugh, I wanted to hear Xin'er's laughter.
The kite landed on a tall tree, and they were in a hurry under the tree, and it stands to reason that children of this age should have a lot of experience in climbing trees and digging birds' eggs, but no one is willing to climb the tree now. I looked up, probably because the height of this tree is a bit scary, there is a feeling that I can't see the top at a glance, which makes these children who are not afraid of heaven and earth also timid.
"What should I do?" One child asked.
"I don't know." A child replied.
"Brother Li Li, what now?" The other children unanimously asked Li Li, maybe in their hearts, Li Li, who is omnipotent and knows how to take care of people, is the "child king" and "big brother".
"The tree is so tall that the kite landed at the top, and the top was so thin that even if it could be climbed, it would not be safe." Li Li roughly measured the height of the tree with his eyes, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Forget it, let's make another kite another day, don't do this one." ”
"So what are we going to do in the afternoon?" Sun Hua asked.
Li Li smiled and said, "Aren't there many things to play with?" ”
"Sun Hua, last time your 'Black General' bit my 'Young Hero', and today I want to duel with you." The boy who lost the fight cricket challenged Sun Hua.
"Okay, I accept your challenge, how do we duel?" Sun Hua asked
"Cockfighting!"
"No problem."
I saw that each of them raised one leg, hugged it, and bumped it against each other with the knee of this leg.
"How do you play this?" Xin'er asked.
"Whoever puts their leg down first loses." A little kid explained.
After a few rounds, there was still no winner or loser, but Sun Hua's physical strength gradually failed, from the initial attack to defense, and finally he could only jump around to avoid the opponent's sudden attack, and in the end, Sun Hua was knocked down from behind by the opponent, and the whole person fell forward and ate a mouthful of grass.
This group of children came in pairs, all fighting chickens, Chen Lin and the older Li Li, in the end, only me and Xin'er were left alone, I looked at Xin'er's expectation, and asked, "Xin'er, do you want to play?" I'll be with you. ”
"Good! But you have to be lighter. ”
That's natural, Xin'er didn't say that I knew it would be lighter, I just wanted to make her happy, so I didn't care if I won or lost.
The first time I played, I couldn't even stand on one foot, and it was shaky, which really made me lose face in front of Xin'er, hey. When I finally got on my feet, Xin'er jumped over and touched me gently, but I couldn't stand on my feet again, and my legs were unconsciously lowered. Xin'er smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Sheng, you are so bad." After saying that, she let out a "giggle" magic laugh, which was really playful and cute.
"Drive, drive!" I looked for prestige, and a few children put the branches they picked up from the ground under their crotches to act as horses, grasping the front end of the branches with their left hands, and holding a branch in their right hands to make a whipping shape, and they rode up in style, not to mention how witty they looked, and there were so many ways for children to play.
"Are you going to do it?" Li Li walked up to me and Xin'er and asked.
"I will!" I suddenly remembered that when I was a big tree in the past, I often saw children picking up stones in front of me and throwing them into the water, and they leaned slightly sideways and threw the stones diagonally, and then the water surface was rippled layer by layer, which was quite beautiful.
"Forget it, let's not go to the river to play, lest your father and mother find out and scold you." Xin'er said to me.
"Don't worry, I won't jump in this time, just have fun." I pulled Xin'er to a nearby river, and the children bent down to pick up rocks. "You have to pick up those flat stones so that you can float them." Li Li said.
"Hey, I hit four laps!" A small child exclaimed.
"Cut, I just hit five laps!" The other child said disapprerovingly.
Xin'er also threw out a stone, but the stone sank directly, splashing a splash, "How to throw it?" Why can't my pebbles float on the water? Xin'er looked puzzled.
"Hold the front end of the stone with your index finger and the rest with your middle finger, thumb firmly, bend your knees and side your upper body when throwing, so that the thrown stone can bounce on the water." Li Li taught Xin'er very experienced.
Xin'er listened attentively as Li Li was spreading her experience to her, and then she threw out another stone, and sure enough, the stone bounced three times on the surface of the water and slowly sank into the water. The ripples on the surface of the water were one after the other, which was really interesting, and I threw out a flat pebble and made five circles perfectly.
"The kite fell from the tree!" A little kid said loudly.
We turned around in response, only to see that the kite on the top of the tree had fallen flutteringly, they rushed up, rushed to the place where the kite fell, Li Li tied the broken string in a very dead knot, found a stick, wrapped it again, and handed the kite to my hand, "This time you come to play." He said.
I waved my hand and said, "I won't play anymore, let's play with them, I'll accompany Xin'er to continue to play in the water." "I just saw Xin'er successfully hit a stone, her face was filled with infinite joy, I expected that her excitement was coming up, so I decided to accompany her to continue playing.
"You can fly kites with them, I can play alone, I will play in the water, haven't you flown kites yet? Let's go play once. Xin'er persuaded me.
I smiled and said to Xin'er, "I don't care what I play, I play with whom." Xin'er, I'm happy to play with you. These words suddenly popped out of my mouth, and Xin'er's face turned red again, it really didn't sound like the words of a child, even though I am also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, but now I am indeed a little embarrassed, hahaha.
Xin'er and I continued to float beside the river, and their boys were running around a kite, and laughter filled the whole world, and the world of children was so beautiful.
"Xin'er, there's a swing frame here!" Not far away, I noticed a swing frame hanging from the thick straight trunk of a tree, and happily reported the good news to Xin'er.
"Wow! I want to go on the swing. Xin'er said expectantly.
"Let's go, let's go swing and play." I took Xin'er's little hand and walked in the direction of the swing. The swing frame was a bit too high for Xin'er's ass to reach, so I picked her up and gently pushed her from behind.
"Brother Xiao Sheng, you can also sit up, this swing is very spacious."
Xin'er and I sat side by side, and we used our weight to gently rock the swing. A breeze gently blows across the face, and at this moment, the scenery is pleasant, and the time is just right!
