Water lanterns and dreams in 1 nights

There is basically no change before, and I don’t need to worry about my martial arts-weary body. Although it hasn’t improved, and maybe it won’t get better in the future, taking care of my daily life is not a problem.No one taught me how to practice martial arts, and my kung fu, which had improved a little, immediately deteriorated, my hands and feet were as dull as if I had never exercised, but my physique seemed to be much better, and the weather was not much of a hindrance, my body would adjust in time.This made me have to thank Yan Wu for the elixir he gave.

He always said that he was grateful to me. I was just a little effort when the time came, and I was not as troublesome as he was.In fact, there has been no repayment for a long time, and the rest is his unilateral donation, which is far from fair.

Because I was idle, I turned out the chessboard and played against Yanwu. He is not in good health and can't spend too much time, so we played backgammon to pass the time.I thought that Xiuwen and chess skills were already very high, but it was far worse than being tired of martial arts.I lose more and win less, and when the difference in strength is too great, people will lose their confidence in winning and losing. They just simply make five pieces. When they make five pieces in a row, they grab them one by one with one hand and slide them into the chess pot. ringing.Start over again, still falling, falling, falling.

After playing for about a dozen rounds, I inadvertently feel that this kind of quietness has really been absent for a long time. When Xiuwen is around, I can’t stop talking, and talk out whether there is something or not. It seems that if the two of them stop talking, a crack will arise , must be densely filled with words.

"Do you like that better?" Yanwu put his knuckles against his chin, and dropped another shot.

"That's better."

"Xiuwen is the other way around." Yan Wu said, "He is most afraid of being lonely, and only when he keeps talking to others and feels that they are tolerant of him can he feel safe and useful, so he is very noisy."

"Has he been like this since he was a child?"

"He willfulness started when he was a child... He always does his own thing, ignoring whether he has a headache. When his mother was there before, even if she was unwell and refused to talk, Xiuwen would stay by her side and refused to leave, chattering endlessly. non-stop."

"Mother is so tolerant of her children." What I didn't say was that maybe the more Xiuwen attached to his mother, the more troublesome she would be, and the more she would love him.

"It's done." Yan Wu said, I looked at the chessboard, it has become a cross of three and three, I can't enclose it, there is no need to go down, I have already lost.

I am not as clever as I am, and I am dual-minded, but I lose heartily in just a few words. "You can count really fast."

"The rules are simple and there is no room for change. It's easy to figure out." He didn't take it to heart at all, even though he played backgammon for the first time today.

"I'm thinking that after all, you're not well-rounded, so it's not appropriate to bother your mind and your mind, and want to relieve boredom with simple games, won't you get tired of playing like this?"

"Anyone who has been at every step for three years will think that such a small game is only easy."

After playing for a while, my back was sore and I didn't want to sit any longer. I wanted to go out for a walk. He told me that the mountain road was difficult and I should try to come back before it was completely dark.I promised to go out, he stopped me, said that he saw me playing Jiulianhuan before, and wanted to borrow from me to pass the time, so I left it to him to play.I solved that ring for a few days but it was only half done, lazy and didn't want to continue, I don't know how long it would be enough for him to entertain.

I went out and walked along the stream, and gradually arrived at a place I had never been before. I saw a large expanse of year-round blooming in the distance. This kind of daisy-like white flowers spread all over the wasteland, shaking in the wind, attracting many butterflies. fly and park.I sat in the shade and watched, and suddenly thought of the worm show I had heard before.

Coincidentally today I was bored, I went back to the house, Yan Wu asked me why I came back, I said I came to sample something.I found white paper and cut it into a large and round piece, threaded a long white thread with a needle, went out and picked up a broken branch on the side of the road and tied it at one end, followed the same path back to the wasteland just now, and walked into the flowers Shaking the branches in the middle, the pieces of paper hanging on it fluttered up and down briskly. The white butterflies mistakenly thought they were of the same kind, and flew to gather in groups, forming a group around the pieces of paper.I played like this for a while and lost interest, but at least I ran twice for it and wanted to make the best use of it, so I still held the branch in my hand and walked back. The white butterfly actually followed. When I saw the wooden house, Yan Wu was moving a stool and sitting at the door, watching me approach from afar.

There were dozens of butterflies left and refused to disperse. I walked up to him, put the wooden branch into his hands, and told him what to do. Then I stood aside and watched him tease the silly white butterflies.

"I thought it would take a while for you to come back." Yan Wu talked to me out of his mind.

"It's boring, and the sun is still very hot." I began to regret why I didn't take a bath in the stream before returning. "What are you doing sitting out there?"

Wu Yan smiled and didn't speak.

"The chain, have you solved it?" I asked casually, and in such a short time, even if I was tired of martial arts, I guess it would not work, but he answered with certainty: "It's on the coffee table."

I went in and took a look, and sure enough, the copper bar and a string of rings had been neatly divided into two parts.

I was practicing calligraphy and playing casually in the room, and I came in when it was dark and tired of martial arts, saying that I had just let the butterfly go.It was a long time ago, and I really didn't know why such a smart person like him was so interested in this kind of tricks. After thinking about it, I thought he had never seen or played it.

82. Twins 20 (Revised)

"Do you have any brothers?"

"No."

"Yes, otherwise you wouldn't have said nothing."

"Aren't you also taking the initiative to talk about Xiuwen with others?"

"The relationship between us is complicated, but it's not a healthy thing, so don't mention it."

"I'd be interested to hear about it."

I steamed the yellow rice in the pot, and slowly talked with Yan Wu. We have understood the matter until now, and there is nothing else to hide. Yan Wu agreed to my original proposal—answer each other absolutely frankly question.While talking, he peeled the melon seeds, stood them up, squeezed the ridge of the melon seeds with his thumb and forefinger, and then made a small opening from the tip, splitting the light yellow kernels inside, and took them out and put them into a small dish.I am tired of doing such a job repeatedly.

"Xiuwen and I are twins. As long as we see our looks, we won't admit our mistakes, but our personalities are different." He began to talk.

"Since I was a child, I have not been an extroverted child. As long as I can remember, the adults in the family are more fond of teasing Xiuwen. The adults always like this kind of trick - put a copper coin or a candy in the palm of the hand, put two Swap the hands from back to back, let the child guess which hand the object is in, give it to him if he guesses right, and get nothing if he guesses wrong. I can always find the hand that hides things naturally; but Xiuwen can’t find it, guess When the adults pretend to put things away, he will cry. However, he always gets more things than me."

"Because now that I guessed it right, the other party gave me something, so I felt bored at all. I didn't have the joy of playing with children, so I turned to tease Xiuwen; the more stupid he was, the more he cried, the more funny adults were, and in order to appease him crying, had to coax him with twice as many things to make him stop. I didn’t know at the time that the so-called joy of adults playing with children lies in seeing their simple ignorance when their minds are immature, and this ignorance deviates from common sense , the more they like it. My stern face is too much like an adult, and I lose the value of being funny."

"How was your relationship in the beginning?"

"In the beginning...even at the beginning, I never liked him." Yan Wu replied mercilessly, "He seems to me to be stupid and a burden. I don't know How many times, if there is no him, then everything I get is mine. I didn’t value material desires very much, but when I have him for comparison, I must have what he has, otherwise how can I show that I am an elder brother.”

I said, "Perhaps... the world thinks that older people are expected to receive more responsibilities, not more gifts."

"In terms of being older, I just hugged him a quarter of an hour earlier, why should I be humble." Yan Wu is quite disapproving of this theory, "Since I am considered an elder brother now, there is no benefit at all. If Xiuwen even obeys me No, it’s useless to have this younger brother. His whole advantage lies in his obedience, and he can do some rough work for me. You must have never compared our handwriting.”

"I've never seen your handwriting at all."

"It's exactly the same. At least it used to be like this. I deliberately forced him to follow my handwriting. When he went to school, he had to do double the homework. I told him to jump a tree that was two meters high, and he jumped."

"How old is that?"

"Six or seven years old." Yan Wu said, "Even if I tell him to die, he has to die honestly, otherwise I would rather kill him myself."

"So you pushed him over the pond?"

"It's because he refused to jump down by himself. I was angry for a while, thinking that he might as well die, and my parents should be happy after a while. After that, I have no other choice. I should love me well, not this getting in the way."

"You brought him up again."

"If he dies, they may not have another one. The new brother may not be so stupid that he can be easily coaxed."

I had nothing to say for a moment, only that he was so thoughtful at such a young age.

Yanwu lazily said: "Okay, you don't have to force me to praise me, I know you are not used to me, maybe I have been a wicked person since I was a child, and everything I do is evil."

"I did not say anything."

"Parents in the world always care about themselves. They give birth as soon as they want. They never care whether you want brothers or sisters. Most of them think that having playmates is more lively, and giving their children their lives is the greatest and most generous gift to them. But the total amount of their love will not increase, but just make you more opponents to share. If even this is
