Lao Tzu is a toad

Chapter 297 Rubik's Cube, Blackboard and Children, Young Woman

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, it was the sixth day after Zhao Jiadi saw "The Collapse of the Gray Empire" at the Sanlian Taofen Bookstore. The conversation took place in a teahouse in the rest house of the first cadre of a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army in Wukesong, Yanjing. The topic was fruitless. Instead, Zhao Jiadi was dragged by the old man to play chess all afternoon. The old man carried forward the fine tradition of brainstorming and teamwork, and called some comrades who carried at least a gold star on their shoulders to serve as military advisers. In the end, the scene was rather funny. Zhao Jiadi, who was weak and weak, was surrounded by a group of old generals. In a one-on-one fight, eight wins and one loss, the last plate was filled with water. If not, the dinner would have to be settled there. Packing cigarettes, I came to a nearby park and sat on a bench to sort out my thoughts. He was working, and Huang Fangfei spared no effort. However, when she met the big guys on the list who had achieved success, most of them were at the Yanjing Hotel or the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Either it is a club like the American Club, the two have a tacit understanding, whoever has seen it, the other party will not bother, Chuhe Hanjie, Yangguan Road single-plank bridge, there is a clear distinction.

During these days, Zhao Jiadi met 18 people including Mou Ming, Zhou Zhangmu and Cheng Maitreya. Most of them were on the c-list, and there were not a few who politely refused to meet. Number of digits, Zhao Jiadi’s side, apart from the old scholar Shen Xian, has gained a lot and got a clear promise, most of them are disappointed. The situation in the cadre rest center today is considered lucky. Zhao Jiadi sleeps every day these days The average time was less than four hours. I sat on a wooden bench and smoked a cigarette. On the opposite chair sat a six or seven-year-old boy who was dressed very stylishly. Handsome guy, maybe my little girlfriend has several of them. The kid came to the park later than Zhao Jiadi, and he took a third-order Rubik's Cube in his hand. The first time I saw it was inexplicable, seeing the miserable and pitiful cry of the child, Zhao Jia, who knew that the child was unlucky, didn't know what to do at the first time, the child was full of anger, crying loudly, and wanted to find time to be alone in a daze Zhao Jiadi couldn't see it for a while, put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, then got up and walked over, and asked the child what was wrong in the most senior and kind tone in his life, the child with a nose and tears looked up at Zhao Jia On the second day, he cried even more bleakly, as if he was robbed of his favorite toy by his neigh- bors , or his girlfriend went home with other boys after school. Glancing at Zhao Jiadi, he obviously regarded him as the culprit, and those who were more vigilant had the same eyes as staring at a child trafficker. Zhao Jiadi had no choice but to sit next to the child to show his innocence.

The child is well dressed and wearing a classic Burberry plaid scarf, the parents should have good taste.After crying for a long time, my voice was a little hoarse and I was a little thirsty. I wanted to turn around and ask the strangers around me if they had any water, but I felt that this was too spineless and unmanly, so I could only turn from crying to sobbing and choking. Sure enough, it would save effort. From time to time, he wiped his nose and tears with the scarf, which made Zhao Jia's dick hurt for the first time. When the child lost his strength, Zhao Jiadi caught a glimpse of him staring at the toy Rubik's cube in his hand. , white to yellow, blue to green, a very basic color scheme. Zhao Jiadi is no stranger to the Rubik's Cube. Wang Banjin gave him a Rubik's Cube as a birthday present when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Zhao Jiadi has been playing since that time until high school. At first, he forgot to eat and sleep, from the second level to the third level, the fourth level to the 13th level, tackling key problems one by one, and he was able to do it easily. Zhao Jiadi seems to be nothing more than memorizing formulas. Of course, the higher the order, the more formulas need to be memorized. In addition to testing memory, he also pays attention to a person's spatial thinking ability. Zhao Jiadi looked at the child who had been disrupted Rubik’s Cube, I understand why I’m crying. It’s probably because I bought a new Rubik’s Cube, but I can’t restore it. Isn’t it like this for all children? If one of the most beloved marbles is broken, they will be sad. When they grow up, some people will buy it because of it. They feel sad because they can't afford diamonds, which are hundreds of times more expensive than glass marbles, while a small number of people who spend a lot of money don't blink, even if the diamonds are broken, they will not be sad.

Zhao Jiadi smiled and said, "Let me show you a magic trick? As long as you are willing to lend me the Rubik's Cube, it only takes seven or eight seconds."

The child was skeptical, and he held on to the third-order Rubik's cube tightly, and heaven and man were at war.Because my mother said not to talk to strangers easily.But in the end, curiosity overcame worry, and the child hesitantly handed the Rubik's Cube to Zhao Jiadi, who smiled softly, looked at it with confidence and pretended to be mysterious, don't blink.In the hands of Zhao Jiadi, the third-order Rubik's Cube miraculously returned to its initial state in less than eight seconds. The hand speed was astonishing. Even though the little boy couldn't take his eyes off it, he still felt dazzled. When he took the new toy that he got today, he laughed through tears. , grinned, revealing two cute canine teeth, and looking at Zhao Jiadi, a stranger, he became a little more purely childlike. The image of Zhao Jiadi in his mind skyrocketed, tall and mighty It was terrible, the child asked the big brother expectantly, if you messed up by me, can you still do magic?Zhao Jiadi was amused and nodded.The old-fashioned child thought about it for a while, clapped his hands, and then handed the Rubik's Cube to Zhao Jiadi. Zhao Jiadi's rare childlike innocence also climbed up, hehe smiled, and said that this time I will make you a more powerful Rubik's Cube .Zhao Jiadi restored the Rubik's Cube with one hand, which naturally took longer, but it seemed to the child who didn't have a strong sense of time that he was still too vigorous. He opened his mouth wide and took the red, orange, white, yellow, blue, and green six-sided neatly. The Rubik's Cube arranged in disbelief, he has worked hard for so long but failed to return to the original shape, this guy did it with one hand, this is so amazing, there are countless exclamation marks in the child's head, and he is looking at it regularly every day He was relishing in a fantasy drama about a pseudo-Xianxia, ​​and he thought, could this person be a so-called expert?Zhao Jiadi, who has been exhausted all these years, enjoys this coincidental leisure time away from disputes, so he laughed and said that I usually don't come up with unique moves, you and I are destined, and today I will show all the box-pressing stunts, do you want to see it?The little boy Chickie Peck Mi nodded, jumping for joy.Zhao Jiadi closed his eyes and performed a Rubik's Cube twisting blindly. His hands were still fast. The child was completely finished. He decided that this guy was the Uncle Zhuge Liang who liked to shake his fan in winter in the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Of course, it's a pity that the guy in front of him doesn't have a fan, and he doesn't seem to be as graceful as the Uncle Zhuge Liang on TV, but these are not problems.

He innocently said: "Big brother, are you Zhuge Liang? Or an alien who came to Earth to be our friend?"

Zhao Jiadi laughed dumbfounded, looked at his watch, and was about to leave. Han Daode was still waiting conscientiously, and said to the child: "I am not Zhuge Liang or an alien. Besides, this is not magic. When you go to elementary school later, There will be "Oil Seller" in the Chinese class, and the teacher will tell you a truth, which is called hand-to-hand familiarity, and a simple explanation is that the more you play, the more you can become proficient, which is not uncommon."

The child shook his head and said, "I definitely can't."

Zhao Jiadi reached out his hand to touch his little head, and encouraged him with a smile: "You can do it, it's my first time playing Rubik's Cube, it's a second-order Rubik's Cube, and it took me a whole night to solve it. A few steps away, smarter than me."

The child said in surprise, "Really?"

Zhao Jiadi nodded gracefully.It's a waste of talent for this guy not to deceive and deceive. Is there anyone on the list these days who is not a "treacherous and cunning" generation who is well versed in dark science? Fortunately, Zhao Jiadi has been fascinated by the behavior of his grandfather Zhao Shanhu, a quack doctor and part-time master style.Zhao Jiadi was about to get up, and after thinking about it, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach a man to fish, so he should treat it as a good deed to the end, first called Han Daode and asked him to wait for another half an hour, put away the phone, and asked the child if he wanted to learn this ?Children are naturally happy.Zhao Jiadi asked him to pick up a twig, and then one big and one small squatted on the muddy floor in front of the bench. Zhao Jiadi didn't care whether he could understand or not, and told him about the Singmaster symbols, formulas, and the sources of the third-order gods. And the racing skills waited until he came out, the little boy was only six or seven years old, of course he was listening to the heavenly scriptures, but he still tried his best to remember that Zhao Jiadi has always been a good teacher from tutoring Situ Jianqiang to teaching in Guanyin Village , not boring or rigid, always full of wit and wit, the relationship between the big and the small is harmonious, and there are constant laughter.Zhao Jiadi's explanation was almost the same, and his meritorious deeds were complete, so he put down the branch and prepared to retreat. The child was still full of emotions, but he was taught very well at a young age. He sincerely said thank you, and introduced myself as Li Hu. After supporting the familiar Chuan Yin, Li Nian became ni, and Hu Nian became fu, and he even explained that it was the tiger of the tiger (the fu of the old fu). Zhao Jiadi laughed and introduced himself. Of course, it was his real name. There is nothing to hide, standing up, looking at the picture on the ground, and the branch, Zhao Jiadi had a flash of inspiration, veins, veins!
He suddenly remembered the network map on the blackboard in Emperor Yang Qing's room in the magic city!

Zhao Jiadi is like the Wuling fisherman in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", who was "suddenly enlightened" at the moment before he saw the Peach Blossom Spring!
With a turbulent heart, Zhao Jiadi wished to return to the courtyard immediately and write down on the paper the map of Emperor Yang Qing's connections that he was sure to restore seventy-eight out of ten, but his face remained calm. After five or six days of polishing, Zhao Jiadi He had changed too much, and he had to learn to control his emotions accurately, to learn to speak nonsense to people, to draw amulets to destroy demons, and to burn incense when entering temples. Subtly, the city grew by leaps and bounds.After getting up, Zhao Jiadi said thank you that the little boy didn't understand and didn't care, but the thank you in another voice sounded at the same time as Zhao Jiadi's thank you. Zhao Jiadi turned his head and saw a man standing on the bench The elegant woman in the back, exquisite and soft, with plump white skin, looks like a young woman in her early 1.6 meters, with a baby face that is born to fight a protracted battle with the years, her appearance is not so stunning, but her temperament is refined, standing there quietly She also has a scarf similar to that of the child Li Hu around her neck. The four parts are similar in shape and six parts in spirit. She should be the mother of the child. Zhao Jiadi smiled embarrassedly. Sure enough, the child rushed towards the young woman. I yelled mom.

The young woman Wen Ya explained: "I'm sorry, the barbarian got into trouble with me and sneaked out. Fortunately, you are here."

The child's nickname seems to be "Barbarian", which is interesting.He made a face at Zhao Jiadi.

Zhao Jiadi smiled politely, and left without making any advances.After walking a certain distance, he quickened his pace and called Han Daode to install two large blackboards in the courtyard.

"Mom, this big brother is amazing." The little boy held by his mother hummed.

"How powerful?" The young woman who stood behind one big and one small and watched for a long time said with a quiet smile.

"Better than you guys, Mom, can you play Rubik's Cube with one hand or with your eyes closed? Oh, yes, big brother said it's called 'reduction', and he taught me a lot, envy you?" Elbow turned outward The child said triumphantly, raising the restored Rubik's Cube in his hand.

"I can't." The corners of the young woman's mouth curved warmly.

The young woman and child walked through the park and the street to the cadre rest house that Zhao Jiadi had visited. There was no need to show any ID at all, and the guard even saluted immediately.

The child mischievously returned a military salute.

Arriving at a single-family house with the highest standards in a cadre rest center, an old man was doing Tai Chi in the yard. The child rushed up and talked about what had happened in the park. The old man stopped doing Tai Chi and entered the house together.It is in front of this great-grandson that the rules will be broken here, otherwise, regardless of whether the children or the former subordinates who are still in high positions come to visit, they will have to wait for him to finish a set of simplified Tai Chi before talking about things.When the great-grandson went to get a teacup to drink, the old man laughed and said that he had just heard that Liu Guoqing's place was lively all afternoon, and five or six disrespectful guys teamed up to play chess with a young man, but they still lost miserably. I've lost everything, so don't let it go, call me and ask me to act as a cobbler, to see if I can kill that young man's spirit next time.The young woman jokingly said that she must be playing chess with a man surnamed Zhao Mingjiadi, right?The old general was already a major general during the 55 years of honors. After ten years of turmoil, he was promoted to one level after his comeback, but it was not until the abdication in the 90s that he was raised to a symbolic level and became an admiral. Qualifications, he doesn't need to retire in this cadre retirement home, but the old man likes the excitement and human touch here. Hearing the casual mention of the granddaughter-in-law who manages the family, he made a special call to ask his old subordinate Liu Guoqing, and hung up the phone He laughed and said, what a coincidence, his name is Zhao Jiadi, why, do you know him?The young woman pointed to her son who was drinking water and playing Rubik's Cube not far away, and said with a smile that this is not in the park, he was the one who taught the barbarian how to play the Rubik's Cube. What I overheard was a very decent young man.The old man has retreated to the second line these years, but occasionally he is invited to the Academy of Military Sciences to guide his work, and his life is very simple. Only the child Manzi can make the old man's life not so clean. It was a coincidence, so the old man became interested and called Called Liu Guoqing, who had just retired from the general staff, and the chat was just a fierce chess game all afternoon. In the end, Liu Guoqing made some intentional or unintentional finishing touches, which surprised the young woman. It turned out that this Zhao Jiadi was actually Jin Hai, the protagonist of the book "Grey" Industrial heir.

Zhao Jiadi didn't expect all these erroneous things. He just scribbled in the study of the courtyard, writing the network map in his mind on the paper as fast as possible, faster than playing Rubik's Cube.

Han Daode is efficient in his work, and the blackboard was quickly installed in the courtyard. Zhao Jiadi copied it from the paper at hand, and stood under the blackboard, full of fighting spirit.
