After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 181 Machine Spirit, Chopping Knife (Excessive chapter, book carefully)
The sun in August is hot, and the sweltering heat in the air makes people irritable. Even after the hottest dog days in July, the days of midsummer are still tormenting.

Compared with the past, there are fewer people on the bustling streets of the city. After all, no one is willing to come out to bear the scorching sun in such a hot weather.

Who wouldn't want to stay in the air conditioner, have a glass of cold beer, eat a piece of iced watermelon, and say something poetic, but it's a pity that the summer is long, and when the breeze comes, the wind blows the fragrance of lotus leaves, and the mind is calm and naturally cool.
It's a pity that this is just an ideal summer life. For most people living in big cities, their best way to relieve the heat may be to check the balance in their mobile bank cards.Then my heart became cold, and I felt that the sun was not so hot outside, and I was motivated to go out to work again.

There is no way, if it is not for two or three taels of silver, who would be willing to work hard but not get paid.
However, in the small mountain village in the north, it is a different scene. The trees inside and outside the village are luxuriant, the fields are full of emerald green, and the wild flowers on both sides of the path are dotted with bright red. smell.

In the small mountain village, apart from the chirping of cicadas and birds, there is also a breeze. Unlike the summer wind in big cities, the wind here is cool and there are no mosquitoes.

In the farmhouse, a young boy was sitting in front of the window, typing on the computer. He was wearing a vest, a pair of big pants, and flip-flops on his feet. He was wearing a standard summer attire. Chen Tianhong from his hometown is gone.

After attending the wedding of Miao Mingjie and Xin'er, Chen Tianhong stayed in Gusu City for a few more days, but he didn't just hang out with the boss, but also talked about some serious business.

The main thing is to talk about the adaptation of his works. "Creative Love in Oranges in Huainan" has been confirmed to be a TV series, and Miao Mingjie and Xiner actually want to make "Wukong Biography" the most. It's just that Chen Tianhong didn't write an episode. Zixia's story has to wait.

So they made a second choice. They planned to make "Snow in the Snow" into a TV series. Chen Tianhong was very concerned about adapting "Snow in the Snow" because he didn't want to shout "click" when watching a TV series.

However, because there are too many characters in this book and the plot spans a long way, adapting the script and selecting actors cannot be done in a day or two. At present, there is only this plan, and the specific time has to wait.

Next, after Chen Tianhong returned to Jinling City, he went back to his hometown in the north with his parents. The first thing he went to was his uncle's house, but it was only when he arrived that he found out that his grandma had returned to his hometown.

The old man said that staying in the city is too boring, it is not as refreshing and comfortable as staying in a small mountain village.

That's why Chen Tianhong and his parents came to this small mountain village. Counting today, Chen Tianhong has been in the village for four days.

"[-] words, it's done! The speed of typing here is much faster than that at home. No wonder so many writers like to type in the countryside. It's clean!"

Chen Tianhong looked at the time, and it only took about 4 hours in total, nearly half an hour faster than before.

Today's coding task has been completed, Chen Tianhong closed the computer, and reached out to pick up a cantaloupe from the porcelain bowl on the side.

In addition to small cantaloupe, there are other melons and fruits in the porcelain bowl. These are all grown by the farmers themselves. They are pure natural green fruits, which are much more delicious than those sold in big cities. In addition, they are made with cold well water. Soaked, very suitable for cooling off in summer.

Put the cantaloupe to his mouth and took a bite. The taste was sweet and icy cool. Chen Tianhong couldn't help but think of an advertisement in his previous life, "Summer is so hot, it's super sweet with you."

But now, he has a feeling of living in the mountains and fields, knowing the countryside, enjoying the fragrance of summer melons, not being famous for his fortune, and feeling at ease.

Precisely because of the comfort of staying here, and because he wanted to spend more time with his grandma, Chen Tianhong decided to stay here before returning to school, and even had an idea for Liu Yifei to come too.

Because my parents returned to the city yesterday, and they still have to go to other relatives’ homes, it is appropriate for Liu Yifei to come over, but this idea has not been realized in the end, Liu Yifei is too shy.
"Tianhong! These are peaches grown by your uncle Wang himself. They are so sweet! Try them."

Chen Tianhong hadn't finished eating the cantaloupe in his hand, and Grandma Chen walked in with a slightly larger porcelain bowl. In the porcelain bowl were several pink peaches, which were still soaked in cool well water.

"Grandma, I can't eat anymore."

Chen Tianhong got up first and took the porcelain bowl from grandma, and then said while clutching his bulging stomach.

"A young man can't eat more than a few melons and fruits. How can he do that? Eat more and grow stronger. Grandma will cook chicken for you at night."

Grandma Chen looked at her grandson with a loving expression on her face. Chen Tianhong was her eldest grandson, whom she held in her palm since she was a child.

Grandparents all over the world express their love in almost the same way, let the children eat more, and want to keep anything delicious for the children.

"Chicken stew."

Hearing this, Chen Tianhong silently put the cantaloupe back in his hand, he wanted to save his stomach.

The stewed chicken that grandma said was not a domestic chicken, but a pheasant from the mountains. The meat was delicious and delicious.

When he first arrived in Xiaoshan Village, what he ate was stewed chicken. After eating three bowls in a row, Chen Tianhong went out for a walk for half the night before going back to sleep.

This world is not like the earth. Pheasants are not protected animals, and there are many of them. It is not illegal for villagers to catch a few to eat.

"Okay, grandma, I will help you kill the chicken then."

"No, you play with yourself. Uncle Li caught the pheasant from the mountain and killed it."

Grandma Chen is not willing to let her grandson do it.

Because of Chen Tianhong's father's job transfer, Grandma Chen didn't see her grandson a few times a year, which really hurt to the bone.

"Uncle Li"

Chen Tianhong suddenly felt that everyone in the village loves him very much. Since he came here, this family will send things today, and that family will send things tomorrow.
It has to be said that this kind of simple and honest feeling among neighbors is rarely seen in big cities. The high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete also cut off the neighborhood feeling in the city.

It's just that people in the country pay attention to reciprocity, so don't you have to give them some gifts in return?

Chen Tianhong fell into deep thought. When he came back, he brought a lot of gifts, but they were all for grandma, and there was no way to share them.

Or give money directly?
Forget it, it's too vulgar, even if you give it to them, you won't take it.

"Tianhong, remember to eat peaches!"

Grandma Chen turned around and went to prepare stewed chicken for her grandson.

As for Chen Tianhong, he was still struggling with the matter of returning the gift, and he couldn't say return the gift, just to see if he could help these simple folks as much as he could.

After thinking about it, he didn't come up with any good ideas. Although his brain has a plug-in, his memory has also been enhanced after rebirth, but these can't help him come up with an idea.

Chen Tianhong decided to give up for now and talk about it later.

A fresh fragrance hits, and the eyes fall on the fan-colored peach again, which is very like love, pink and tender
In the end, Chen Tianhong's hands reached out to Taozi, the temptation was too great.

When Chen Tianhong was eating peaches, his fan group was also discussing livelyly. It was a discussion, but it could be said to be forced.

The main people are his female book fans, that is, fans of youth novels. As of today, it has been more than half a year since Chen Tianhong's third youth novel "Creative Love in Oranges in Huainan" has been completed, and fans have long been looking forward to new works.

At the beginning, the fans didn't urge them, they knew that Hongwen was updating Xuezhong and ordinary people, so they might not be able to take care of it.

After finally waiting for Xue Zhong to finish the book, Hongwen went to write martial arts again, which made the girls unable to bear it anymore.

In fact, since the serialization of "Tian Long Ba Bu", the girls have been @ in the fan group every day, full of tenacity, and have the momentum of never giving up until they see a new youth novel.

Chen Tianhong's response to this is to wait. Because he is temporarily not sure what to write in the next youth novel. To be precise, he is picky. There are too many youth novels in his mind, and he will not be able to find a suitable one in a while.

There was a vibrating sound from the mobile phone, Chen Tianhong swiped open the screen, saw the notification message of the TT number, clicked on it, and sure enough, the girls in the group started again.

"Otherwise, just choose a youth novel at random, and it's not good to keep so many girls waiting every day."

Fortunately, they were urging youth novels with fewer words, so he was full of energy.If it was changed to other online novels, such as long Xianxia novels, then Chen Tianhong would have to hesitate.

There are hang-ups and hang-ups, and you can’t open them for a long time. Then what is the difference between him and a machine, and you still have to leave time to enjoy life.

For example, now, how comfortable it is to eat fruit leisurely.

Thinking and watching, Chen Tianhong reached out for the peach again, but protested from his stomach, and it couldn't take it anymore.

"Okay, go out and digest! Otherwise, if you sit in the house all the time, you won't be able to eat the stewed chicken at night."

Chen Tianhong got up slowly and leaned over to let his stomach stand up slightly so that he could walk better.

Walking on the small roads in the village, from time to time on the road, you can meet the aunts and uncles in the village, but young people seldom meet them. Most of them are working outside in big cities, and they only come back when the Chinese New Year is approaching.

Everyone he met along the way greeted Chen Tianhong kindly, and Chen Tianhong also politely returned the gift, so he came to the entrance of the village slowly.

There is an old elm tree at the entrance of the village, which has been around for some years. It is said that the old elm tree already existed when the ancestors lived.

The trunk of the old elm tree is very thick, and it needs two adults to embrace it to surround it. It has five main branches, each branch is covered with green leaves, and it looks like a huge natural parasol from a distance, supporting people. A thick shade of green.

Naturally, under the old elm tree is a good place for the villagers to enjoy the shade, but there are not many adults under the shade of the tree today, only seventeen or eight and a half children are playing games. The children in this group are not very old, the oldest Bit is about eleven or twelve years old.

Seeing this group of children, Chen Tianhong suddenly became curious. What he was curious about was what games these children were playing.

We must know that with the advancement of technology, children's childhood is also very different from before. Various electronic products have replaced traditional childhood games. Not only children in cities, but even children in rural areas rarely spend time together. Let's play games together.

After all, children cannot resist the temptation of electronic products, and even adults are addicted to computers and mobile phones.

Those traditional childhood games can only quietly flow in the river of time and be forgotten by the world
While the society is progressing, people have also lost a lot at the same time.

Chen Tianhong also played some childhood games when he was a child in his previous life, because he didn't have so many electronic toys at that time. During the holidays, apart from watching cartoons, he also played games with his friends.

It's just that as he grew older, he also gradually forgot those games, and he didn't even remember the appearance of his little friend back then.

The current environment of the children in this world is similar to that of the previous earth. Even the electronic products are more developed, and the children have long since abandoned traditional games.

That's why Chen Tianhong was so surprised to see the children playing games together!
"I just don't know if the games they play are similar to the childhood games on the earth. Alas, I really miss us at that time! Carefree, it's not like we have to work and code every day now, life! Erase me a childlike innocence."

Talking to himself, Chen Tianhong approached the old elm tree. He was sighing in a serious manner in front of him, but the latter sentence is open to question. After hearing it, book friends will probably complain about him severely.

You are a writer, isn't it normal for writers to work with code words?Also. You are already rich and free, shouldn't you be carefree!And, are you big?

When he arrived under the old elm tree, he first greeted several uncles who were enjoying the shade politely, and then Chen Tianhong looked at the children again.

I saw that the seventeen or eighteen children had been divided into two parts, two rows to be precise, about eight or nine people in each row, all holding hands, and the distance between the two rows of children was about 10 meters.

Not only that, Chen Tianhong always felt that such a scene was very familiar, as if he had played this game when he was a child, and he had played in both worlds.

Just as Chen Tianhong was about to use his brain to search for memories, the children's game began.

First, each of the two sides came out with the strongest child, and the two started rock-paper-scissors. The winner was determined in one round, and finally the child on the right guessed the winner.

Then the victorious child returned to the team with his head up proudly, while the failed child returned to his team dejectedly.

Then the kids from the right team started shouting towards the opposite side.

"Golden Pheasant Feather!"

The team on the left responded: "Carry a big sword!"

"The soldiers and horses on your side are up to me!"

"Who shall we choose?"

"Choose Wang Bo."

After the two sides shouted, a thin little boy came out from the line on the left. He lifted his shorts, leaned forward, and clenched his fists, as if he was accumulating strength.

Seeing this, the children in the line on the right held each other's hands closer.

Then, with a sound of "Rush!", the skinny boy slammed towards the opposite side, and after ten seconds, he slammed into the edge area of ​​the child on the right holding his hand, and slammed it away.

"Haha, I won! I knocked away! I can take a prisoner back with me."

The skinny boy smiled happily, and from the two who were rushed away by him, he chose a slightly stronger one, and triumphantly led him back to the team on the left. When he came back, he looked like a general returning from victory. .

"Let's come again, this time it's up to you!"

The children on the right started yelling.

Next, the two sides exchanged offense and defense.

The familiar "Golden Pheasant Ling, Carrying a Big Sword" sounded again.

At this moment, Chen Tianhong under the shade of the tree was still looking at the children playing games, but his eyes were lost, and he was lost in memories.

In fact, Chen Tianhong already knew what kind of game it was when he heard the sound of "Golden Chicken Feather".

To be precise, this game does not have a specific name. Even in previous lives, each region on the earth had different names. The official name on the Internet is "Happy Horse City", but more people like to call it "Jijiji". make".

The gameplay is very simple, just like the children playing now, more than a dozen people are evenly divided into two rows, each standing in a row hand in hand, the attacker starts to call "Golden Chicken Ling", the defender responds "carry the big sword!", and then attack Fang "Let me choose your soldiers and horses!", and the defender "Who shall I choose?"

The attacker will call out the name of a person in the defender's team. Generally, the "weaker" ones are selected. The defender can refuse or agree.

If he agrees, the person who called out his name will go to charge the opposite wall of people, and if the charge breaks away, he will be able to bring back a "captive", otherwise, he will have to stay on the opposite side.

This game requires both brains and physical strength. It is a very fun childhood game. In Chen Tianhong's impression, this game is called "Machine Spirit, Chop Knife."

The origin of the game is to imitate the officials who caught strong men in ancient times. At that time, the officials had a chicken feather on their bodies, and they went to the people's homes with a big knife to pick the strong men according to the list. Whoever was picked would be arrested.

The original saying in ancient times is "tie the chicken feathers, carry the bad knife, let me pick the one over there"

It's just that because of the different regions, many pronunciations have been differentiated between the recitations, so various other versions have appeared.

For example, what Chen Tianhong called in his previous life was "Machine spirit, chopping knife, let me pick the one over there."

This name is also the most popular on the earth, because in the previous life there was a song called "Machine Spirit, Chop Knife".

The song borrowed the name of this childhood game, and the songwriter was actually commemorating the lost youth. The content of the song at that time resonated with many post-70s, 80s, and 90s.

Chen Tianhong was also a post-90s generation in his previous life, and this song also resonated with him, and at this moment, it made him feel a lot more.

Although he is in another world now, the familiar sound of the song still echoes in Chen Tianhong's ears.

Is it too long alone

I always feel like time is doubling

i don't know what i'm looking for

I just feel like I lost a lot

You know how much I want to go back home and mud

Then take those naked guys to catch frogs in the pit

I can play all day with a sandpit and a swing

Hungry, climb to the tree, pick some Sophora japonica, eat some elm money
The singing echoed in his mind, and the childhood memories of the past resurfaced. He thought of wrestling mud with his friends to compare size, going to the river to float to see the ripples, and jumping on the sand.
Of course, there are also the experiences of growing up, but these experiences are the memories of Chen Tianhong's previous life.
How many people pay is always difficult to get back
How many people face the mirror with tears and smiles
How many people betrayed their original ideals in order to survive
But insisted on the ideal but couldn't get into the garage
How many people have to pay off their lifetime debts for the garage
When he paid off the foreign debt, he tore down the east wall and repaired the west wall.

How many communication devices are installed with countless functions
But always unable to communicate with the closest people

How many stories we can never go back
how many people we miss are in heaven listen
After a long time, Chen Tianhong let out a soft sigh, which seemed sad and sweet...

At this time, he has already thought about what to write in the next youth novel, so he will write about these childhood memories and the sadness of growing up.

PS: Excessively, this song is very touching, everyone can go and listen to it!I also passed on the easter egg chapter, but I just don’t know if I can pass it. (The number of cards is counted, and there is no charge for these!)
