In one afternoon, Ruyi lost a total of fifteen hands, six to Uncle Chen, seven to Mo Yuan, and two to Lihua.
In short, she never won.
When it comes to playing backgammon, she can't even compete with Li Hua.
"No more fun!"
Ruyi left angrily.
The civet flower on the table carefully grabbed a chess piece with its cat paws. It was stunned and said: "Civet flower is going to win, why don't you stop playing..."
It's somewhat insulting.
Lihuaba squeaked, not knowing where to put the chess pieces in her paws.
Mo Yuan saw its pitiful appearance, so he said, "I'll play with you."
Cihua looked at it and immediately became happy.
"Okay, okay!"
One dragon and one cat started playing backgammon on the chess table.
Chen Changsheng saw that they were having fun, so he got up and went to find Ruyi.
Ruyi was sulking beside the small pond.
Mostly because they don't want to admit that they are not as smart as a civet flower.
"thump."
The pebbles falling into the pool made splashes.
Ruyi squatted down and stared at the water in a daze.
"Why are you squatting here?"
Ruyi turned around and saw that it was Uncle Chen, but she didn't say anything.
Chen Changsheng walked to her and sat down next to her, asking: "What? I've never been under the civet flower, so I'm sulking here."
Ruyi opened her mouth and said: "No!"
The tone is clearly there.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "Okay, okay, we are all grown up girls, why should we be sulking over such a thing?"
After hearing this, Ruyi looked at Uncle Chen and said, "So Uncle Chen doesn't think I'm a child anymore?"
Chen Changsheng said: "People like you, Ruyi, are still children even if they become a big girl."
Ruyi turned his head away after hearing this, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly inadvertently.
Of course she would be happy to hear that.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Is it fun to be in the arena?"
Ruyi thought for a while and said: "It's okay, people are more interesting than things."
"Why haven't I mentioned it to you before?"
Ruyi recalled it and said: "I don't know. I did know a lot of people in the past two years, but most of them can't be named. They just meet by chance. I can't remember them after they leave. Now let me tell you
, I can’t even name how many people came.”
Children of Jianghu are always like this.
Strange people in the world can always talk about many things when they want to meet each other. But if they are separated, then they are really separated. Maybe they will never meet again, and even after a long time, it will be difficult to recall them.
Those who have met and dispersed before will only think of them accidentally, but when they really want to talk about it, they can't remember it clearly. It is vague and speechless.
This is sad, but also wonderful, because you can say many things that you dare not say to people who meet by chance and then disappear in the blink of an eye.
Ruyi added: "I think maybe my memory is bad."
"I have a bad memory."
"Yes, otherwise we can always tell one or two people."
Ruyi said but was stunned for a moment.
"That's not right either."
She denied what she said before.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Isn't it right?"
Ruyi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she seemed a little embarrassed and said: "It's not wrong, forget it, just think of it as a bad memory."
"What does it mean to just take it as it is?"
"That's it anyway."
Chen Changsheng smiled and then touched her head.
This girl has indeed experienced some hardships in the past two years, and her hair has become a lot frizzy.
Ruyi said: "It's not as smooth as before."
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "It's a bit."
"The wind is blowing too much."
"Um."
There seemed to be a lot of missing words between the two of them.
We had just met and had a lot of conversations, but now that we were sitting together, we didn’t know what to say.
Ruyi watched the fish swimming in the pool, feeling a little lost.
She was wondering why she didn't know what to say.
Ruyi once asked a few people what it means to grow up, and what one of them said made her remember it for a long time.
That person said that people always get older and bigger, and when one day the people close to them start talking less, then they are probably no longer children.
Ruyi asked: "Uncle Chen."
"Um?"
"Where have you been all these years?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "That's a long way to go. It's not in the human world. I've been to so many places that I can't even count them. I can't even name some of the places I've been to."
Ruyi asked: "It's like traveling around the world, going everywhere? But you can't stay in one place for long."
Chen Changsheng said: "Maybe so."
"Are all gods like this? They never stay in one place for long."
Ruyi asked.
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng paused and said, "It's just that Chen won't be able to stay long. There are very few people in the world who follow their own desires, and practitioners like Chen are no exception."
After hearing this, Ruyi glanced at him and only answered.
"oh."
Chen Changsheng said: "Sometimes Chen also wants to stay in one place for a longer time, just like in Qingshan City. If there were no shackles, Chen could watch Ruyi grow up little by little and become an embroiderer.
How did he get into charge? You can also see what Ruyi has been through in the past two years and who he has met."
Ruyi said: "What are the shackles that Uncle Chen is talking about?"
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "It's just like the reins on a horse. It can run freely, but when it's caught by the reins, it's hard for it to follow its heart."
Ruyi said: "As for the reins on the horse, Ruyi can cut them off with one shot."
"It would be nice if it were just a rein."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Why do children think so much? This is your Uncle Chen's business."
Ruyi pursed her lips and said, "At this time, I think Uncle Chen doesn't think of me as a child anymore."
"That Ruyi is a big girl."
"Can a big girl help Uncle Chen?"
"No way."
"What's going to happen?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Nothing will work. The shackles are on oneself. Except Chen himself, probably no one can help. All you have to do is be yourself. You, Uncle Chen, and I have already made a plan. Maybe we can
In two years, I will be able to run free, and then Ruyi will take me on a trip around the world, how about that?"
"Speaking of which, Chen has never seen what this world is like."
After hearing this, Ruyi said: "Pull the hook!"
Chen Changsheng looked at her serious look and hesitated.
Ruyi immediately put down his hand.
She probably understood that Uncle Chen himself probably wouldn't dare to vouch for it.
Yes, Uncle Chen still coaxed her like a child.
There's nothing wrong with that, I'm willing to do it if I wish.
I just think about it occasionally, but I still feel a little uncomfortable.
People are all contradictory. They hope this and that, and there is always some truth to it.
After a moment of silence.
Ruyi said.
"Uncle Chen."
She turned around and said, "Actually, I have a pretty good memory."
"Although I can't remember the people I met on the rivers and lakes, Uncle Chen only stayed in Ruyi for a few days and remembered it clearly, and I haven't forgotten it to this day."
There is no reason for these words.
Ruyi just wanted to say it.
At first I was embarrassed, but now I want him to know.
