Naturally, this kind of thing like a gyroscope couldn't be confined to the compound of the Maple Forest Mercenary Group, and it didn't take long for it to become popular throughout Redstone Town. There's even a hotel in town that has a spinning top contest and a lot of rules to play. The winner of the contest will receive a free one-day stay in a hotel.

A free day at a hotel isn't a big deal, but it's fun, isn't it?

So the hotel relied on this trick to attract a lot of customers, especially those with children. If the child wins, don't mention the smug of "taking the family to live in a hotel for free". Parents, on the other hand, are often happier and more proud than their children at this time.

However, although the spinning top is fun, it is not a very suitable toy for little loli to play.

gave little Dick and them fun, and Fang Tian naturally would not favor one over the other, ignoring little Ivy and their coquettishness. So the shuttlecock suitable for little girls made its debut.

For shuttlecock, there is such a description in Gao Cheng's "The Source of Things" of the Song Dynasty: "At present, children use lead and tin as money, pretended with chicken feathers, called shuttlecocks, and walked and kicked in groups of three or four, with various colors such as incorruptible inside and out, dragging and grabbing, shrugging knees, protruding belly, and Buddha top beads. ”

In this paragraph, the previous part concisely explains how shuttlecock is made, "with lead and tin as money, filled with chicken feathers", so shuttlecock is often also called chicken feather shuttlecock.

Chickens were very common domestic animals in rural China in Fang Tian's previous life, but here, Fang Tian did not find any chickens.

But it doesn't matter, there are many feathered birds in the forest!

In this way, after talking about "Journey to the West" and harming the monkeys, Fang Tian harmed another thing.

Ever since the shuttlecock spread in Redstone, the birds with beautiful feathers in the forest have been unlucky.

Fang Tian, the initiator of this qiē, sat leisurely on the long wooden chair, looking at a group of pink little loli in front of him, raising his delicate calves to kick the shuttlecock, that is called a pleasant!

A few days ago, Fang Tian finally figured out the back chairs, including long and short.

Now he was sitting on the long one, like in Fang Tian's previous life park. And the armrest chair with armrests on both sides of the single has become the favorite of Captain Owen - sitting on this chair looks more majestic than sitting on a log stool!

So it didn't take long for this kind of chair to become the standard configuration of the chairs for the heads of various mercenary groups in Redstone Town, allowing them to take a step closer to the realm of the Mountain King.

In this kind of diligent cultivation at night and leisurely during the day, Fang Tian ushered in a familiar visitor.

It was the same peer Sharjah whose strength made him feel unfathomable.

Since the last time he took "Journey to the West" back, this person has been forgotten by Fang Tian. This time, Sharjah's visit actually didn't have anything to do, just to talk about it with a gesture of forgetting the New Year.

Let's chat, who wouldn't be able to chat? I don't believe that you, a native, are more powerful than me, a person who has hung up QQ and opened at most a dozen windows at the same time!--Fang Tian thought so.

Sharjah also seemed to have a good conversation, and often five or six out of ten days the lord came to the door, and often had to have dinner with him. Later, this adult simply didn't go back to the hotel at night, and directly regarded the compound of the Maple Forest Mercenary Group as his home.

No one dares to diswelcome it, does it?

Besides, there is a strong man with unfathomable strength in charge, and in addition to being honored, there is a lot of great stability in the group. - Strong, this is a strongman!

Others spend a lot of money to invite them, but they can't come!

After nearly a month, he talked a lot with Sharjah, and Fang Tian found that the two said that they were chatting, but they were not.

Just like on this day, after the two talked about whether the somewhat weird name of "Mauri Ball Country" was insulting to the country, Sharjah changed the topic and said to Fang Tian inadvertently: "By the way, Xiaoyou, after reading your Journey to the West, I like the passage in the first episode very much." Every time I have nothing to do to read, I feel a sense of comfort and happiness in my heart. ”

After speaking, Sharjah also recited that passage with great emotion.

What Sharjah recited is the song sung by the woodcutter when Sun Wukong met the woodcutter in the mountains in the first episode of "Journey to the West":

Watching chess is rotten, logging Ding Ding, and the cloud side valley mouth Xu Xing. Selling salaries and drinking, laughing wildly and cultivating himself. The path is high in autumn, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright in the sky. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe. Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters. There is no competition, and the price is mediocre. will not be cunning, no honor and disgrace, and will prolong life calmly. Everywhere they meet, they are not immortals, they are Taoists, and they sit quietly and talk about "Yellow Court".

This passage, when it was written, Fang Tian translated it according to the words of this world. In terms of expression, it is naturally impossible to be as delicate as the original, but there is still a charm of seven or eight points. ,

Not to mention, Sharjah's chanting at this time is really quite feeling.

Fang Tian felt that it would be no problem for him to go to the earth to participate in the poetry recital, and it was estimated that it would be okay to get a consolation prize and get a bag of laundry detergent home.

"It's just that I don't understand one thing very well. Little friend, I don't know what this phrase 'watching chess is rotten'?" asked Sharjah as he finished chanting.

Like Huangliang Yimeng, watching chess is also a rather wonderful little story involving the mysteries of immortals in ancient China.

The story is that in the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Wang Qian, who went to a mountain to chop wood, faintly heard a singing, followed the song to find it, and then saw a few boys playing chess and singing. Wang Zhen stepped forward to watch, and after watching for a while, when Wang Zhen felt a little hungry, the boy gave Wang Zhen a thing shaped like a jujube pit, and after Wang Zhen swallowed the thing, he didn't feel hungry. After a while, the boy said to him, "Why don't you go yet?" Then the king got up and was about to go down the hill with his axe, but found that the handle of the axe was completely rotten. And when he returned to the world, he realized that many years had passed, and his contemporaries had long since passed away.

Savoring this story, one can't help but feel a sense of absurdity in time and space.

When Fang Tian told this story to Sharjah, Sharjah was also fascinated by it, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

And when Sharjah finally came back to his senses, Fang Tian didn't wait for him to ask again, so he took the initiative to tell him what "chess" was.

This thing can't be explained in empty words, and it just so happens that Fang Tian also feels that although he helped little Dick and little Ivy find fun, he himself is still bored, so he has the idea of making Go.

And the person who plays chess with him, isn't this what he sees in front of him?

He was only a third-level junior magic apprentice now, and Sharjah, whether he had already crossed the threshold of a formal magician Fang Tian had always doubted. In terms of force value, the two are incomparable.

However, on the chessboard, it should be a very cool thing to kill this big master to death, and it should be a very cool thing, right?
