In the June sky, there were more locusts than mosquitoes.
In the sky, they kept circling and opening their mouths ferociously, swallowing everything they encountered.
At this moment, it was noon on the streets of Chang 'an, but there were basically not many people walking on the streets. Most of them were hiding at home to enjoy the cool air.
Some of them were squatting under the shade of the trees in twos and threes, flapping their straw fans.
Zhang Feng was also hiding in the courtyard and refused to go out.
It was not for any other reason. It was because Zhang Feng used the wooden board that he had changed previously and called a few carpenters to build a windmill according to his request.
It was the kind of paper windmill that he played with when he was young. However, it was replaced with a wooden shaft. Then, large palm-leaf fans made of whole palm leaves were inserted into the wooden shaft. Under Gouzi's strenuous shaking, it brought a hint of coolness.
Beside him, Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi's sister, Steamed Bun, and a large group of black children stared at Zhang Feng with their big eyes as he told them stories.
Zhang Feng was tired of talking.
In an instant, Zhu Zi would put an iron pot by Zhang Feng's mouth and let him take a sip. Then, Zhang Feng would exhale happily and eat the tiger jerky that Steamed Bun brought to him. Then, he would tell everyone happily again.
He was tired of talking.
Then, the jerky that he placed beside the reclining chair would become the children's delicacies.
Gouzi was very loyal. He did not participate in the battle to snatch the food. Instead, he hugged the handle of the windmill and refused to let go. This was the mission given to him by Big Brother Zhang Feng. Without Zhang Feng's orders, he would not teach it!
Noon came to an end just like that.
When the groups of words were fighting with the locusts in the air, Zhang Feng woke up.
He looked at his arm and saw that there was not a single bump. The children in the courtyard did not make any noise either. Seeing him get up, Zhu Zi roared, "Stand up!"
Instantly, all the children stood up in unison.
"Hello, Big Brother Zhang Feng!"
"Good, good, good!"
"Hehehe! Come, come, come, let's not tell stories in the afternoon. I'm tired. Let's play a game, okay? "
Zhang Feng didn't care whether the crowd agreed or not. He pulled out a wooden box from under the recliner. The tinkling sounds from inside instantly attracted the children's attention.
As he spoke, Zhang Feng opened the box.
There was a hidden compartment in the box, and there was a rolling steel column. Beside it was a string of sheep tendons tied to a stick. It was the only thing that was exposed outside the box.
At this moment, Zhang Feng smirked.
He pointed at the numbers in the box and said, "This is from one to five, which means one is the smallest. If any of you can continuously eject marbles into this slot of five, big brother will reward you with a gift, okay?"
"Alright!"
Although the children didn't understand pinball machines, when they heard Zhang Feng say that there was a gift, they couldn't help but be so excited that their eyes turned red.
It was the first time Zhang Feng took the initiative to give them a gift. They really wanted to know what the gift was. Zhang Feng also taught them how to play in front of the children. Gouzi also stretched his neck to take a look.
"Look! Pull this stick, pull it to the side of the wooden box, and then let go. The marbles will stick out! Just like this! "
As he spoke, Zhang Feng fiercely ejected the marbles. However, God didn't give him an eye. He wanted to show off for once, but he messed up. The marbles actually landed on one of the boxes!
The children burst into laughter.
Zhang Feng was anxious.
"Again, again. Just now doesn't count!"
"Big Brother Zhang Feng is shameless!"
"What shameless? I'm talking about five times per person. After five times, after everyone has played, the winner will be selected to participate in the second round! "
Zhu Zi and especially Steamed Bun's face were full of disbelief.
Zhang Feng pretended not to see and ejected the marbles again. This time, the marbles landed on two. Zhang Feng was anxious.
"Again!"
One!
"Again!"
"Again!"
At the end of the fifth time, he finally threw the marble into the grid of five while praying for it to happen.
"Alright, have you all seen it? This thing, let alone you all, even I can't hit all the marbles. So, all of you, line up and have fun! "
"Alright!"
"If anyone can play well, I'll give him a braised chicken!"
Among this group of people, besides Gouzi, Zhu Zi was the tallest and strongest. Of course, he was the first to come. After five tries, he didn't exceed three.
The rest of the people were excited.
Like birds, they chattered in front of the pinball machine, playing happily.
Even Gouzi couldn't resist the temptation in the end and joined in.
Zhang Feng looked at the children, stood up unsteadily, and stretched. However, he accidentally saw that Li Shimin was standing behind the curtain, staring at the children and laughing.
"Oh, Lao Li is here?"
"You're alone!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, not intending to disturb the children's fun.
After entering the pub, Li Shimin looked Zhang Feng up and down and asked, "Brother Zhang Feng, since you like children so much, I heard that the neighbor arranged a marriage for you. It's the daughter of Yixin Pastry Shop. Why don't you marry her earlier and have a few more children? "
"…"
