The merry-go-round was steadier than a bus.
The upper and lower floors occupied a large space. Dozens of seats circled around the pillar in the middle unhurriedly. The ceiling at the top blocked the sun. Only a gentle breeze blew over, making the body feel cool and comfortable.
It was a good place to rest. There were few visitors, and there was no limit to how many games one could play. Instead, people could sit on it until they had enough fun. Jiang He had been sitting on it for half an hour.
She had spent a lot of money to come here. It seemed that she wanted to sit here until she was satisfied — Xu Qing thought so. He held a bottle of orange juice he bought in the park. He and Jiang He didn't sit on the same horse. They sat in front of each other and drank slowly.
It was slightly cold and sour. Not bad.
Jiang He also held a bottle of orange juice. After thinking for a while why Xu Qing didn't need to wipe himself in the toilet, she took out her phone and searched. Xu Qing almost choked when he saw her sneakily wearing a cap. However, they were all sitting on the merry-go-round and couldn't peek at what she was doing.
The other couples all left after taking photos together to experience other projects. Only the parents with their children and the two of them were left.
The phone rang. Jiang He opened the WeChat message and saw that it was from Xu Qing behind her.
"Do you want to play something else?"
Xu Qing's very low voice came from the phone.
Jiang He thought for a while. She pressed the talk button with her finger and put the phone to her mouth. She replied in the same low voice, "Let's sit for a while."
She let go of the automatic send button and opened the voice message. She put the phone to her ear and listened. She was quite satisfied with her voice.
She didn't know why the voice she heard when she spoke was different from the voice recorded on the phone. Jiang He thought that the phone had changed her voice. However, she could tell from Xu Qing's voice that it was similar.
"You've been sitting for a long time. Children don't play for so long." Xu Qing continued to send her voice message.
Jiang He sipped his orange juice and thought about it. It seemed that this was more like a game, and the others were all torture. They were not playing at all, but spending money to suffer.
"Unless you tie yourself to that chair and get hung up while I watch from below." She pointed at the flying chair a few hundred meters away.
This theme area was filled with all kinds of spinning, flying chairs, merry-go-rounds, spinning wheels …
The flying chair was the tallest one. It was at least 30 meters tall, and the spinning wheel was used to fix people on the chair. It wouldn't fly, but it would roll over and over. It was very violent. Only the merry-go-round was a little more casual.
"Why would I want to be hung up?" Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the spinning flying chair in the distance. He had no intention of fulfilling her request.
"Because I don't want to fly so high."
"I don't want to either."
"Then what's the point of playing? This place is the best. "
"There are other fun things. We can't just walk around here all day."
Xu Qing had always brought Jiang He to experience all kinds of fun and delicious food. This time, he had completely miscalculated.
They came here excitedly and wanted to play to their heart's content for the whole day. In the end, the first event left a deep trauma in the two of them. They could only hide at the merry-go-round.
It shouldn't be like this. At the very least, they should find something else to play.
Ten minutes later.
Jiang He came down from the merry-go-round with a sour expression. She held the unfinished orange juice and slurped it. She didn't come down because of Xu Qing. It was because of the looping music from the big speakers beside the merry-go-round.
"Some people just get separated after walking for a while ~"
This song was accompanied by the slow swaying of the merry-go-round. In an instant, all the couples left.
"The person who chose the song is really talented." Xu Qing expressed his admiration. There were more than a hundred events on the guide map. They could have played any one of them, but they chose to sing on the merry-go-round.
Feeling the heat from the sun, Jiang He pressed down on the brim of her hat. She didn't reply and looked around to find another similar leisure event.
"We shouldn't have come today, right?"
She thought of the tickets and felt her heart ache. She could eat a few buffets or buy a few pots of pork ribs …
"We have to experience it. If we don't come once, we'll never know how scary this thing is. Then, in half a year, a year, two years … Anyway, we'll definitely come and try it."
Xu Qing shook his hands on the guide map and smiled at her, revealing a set of white teeth. He then looked up at the sun to determine the direction and said to the path beside them, "Let's go this way."
"What are we going to play?"
"Look, that's Egypt. Egypt is a country of foreigners. There are deserts everywhere, pyramids, and things like that. They also like to turn people into dried corpses … Look at the color over there. It's all golden."
Xu Qing gave a simple introduction. He turned his head and saw Jiang He following behind him with her head down. He stopped for a moment and waited for her to catch up. Then, he held her hand and continued walking.
"Have you ever thought of doing this before?"
"What?"
"It's … like this." Xu Qing gently squeezed her hand, then turned his head with a smile and took a big gulp from the orange juice straw in Jiang He's hand.
There wasn't much orange juice left in the glass to begin with. The sound of the straw squeaking could be heard as he drank it all in one gulp.
Jiang He watched as the remaining orange juice, which she had tried her best to drink slowly, disappeared into Xu Qing's mouth. For a moment, she didn't know whether to snatch it or push his head away.
"In the past, one slap from me …"
"Slap me to death?"
"…"
Jiang He stared at him with the empty glass, speechless for a moment.
"Stop looking. I'll bring you to play something fun."
"Play what?"
"What you're best at."
The two of them talked as they came to a shop facing the street. There were all kinds of game equipment inside. Claw machines, basketball hoops, balloons with guns, balloons with darts …
There was a dazzling array of games, but they were all charged extra and not included in the ticket price.
This was a game that the investors rented the park and then set up by themselves. They hired their own people, so it was considered outsourcing. The rent was higher than the night market outside, so the prices were naturally more expensive. Xu Qing glanced at the price list and didn't feel anything. He was out to play to have fun.
He couldn't come in and take Jiang He on a merry-go-round for the whole day. That would be too silly.
Ten darts for 30 yuan. If he won all of them, he could choose a big doll that was half a person's height. The price of the gun was about the same, with more bullets and more balloons.
Xu Qing looked at the prizes for each game. With the existence of Jiang He, it seemed like he could easily get a grand slam.
"If we all played once, would you be able to carry so many things?"
"We can store them at the door, right?"
"That's true."
The staff's eyebrows twitched and he almost laughed out loud. These two hadn't even done anything yet and they were already thinking about whether they could win?
He had seen people come in to choose their targets, but he had never seen anyone thinking about such things the moment they came in.
"Ahem … Hello, do you want to play?"
"Yes, I'll take ten darts first."
"There are 20 for 50 yuan," the young man reminded him carefully.
"Ten is enough."
Seeing how casual Xu Qing was, the young man didn't say anything else. He took out a plastic box and pushed it over. There were exactly ten darts inside.
"I just need to prick all the balloons, right?" Jiang He weighed a dart in his hand and asked Xu Qing eagerly to confirm the rules.
He didn't expect such a good thing to happen. It was unbelievably simple.
"That's right. Three of them will get a keychain, and six of them can choose from these toys." The young man stood behind the counter and gestured to some fist-sized dolls beside him. Then he leaned to the side and revealed the shelf next to him. "If you get nine, you can choose this belt and lighter here. If you get all of them, you can choose anything, including the big doll over there."
The belt and lighter looked quite high-end. Xu Qing took a closer look. He had to admit that the prizes here were indeed more attractive than those in the night market.
If he still smoked, he would be very interested in the lighter. It was a completely different experience to win a game and buy one from a shop …
"Which one do you want?" Jiang He asked. She looked at the belt and felt that it was the most practical thing. It was much better than the dolls.
"Big Bear, you can hug it to sleep at night."
"You don't want a belt?"
"Yes … I'll try shooting later and see if I can get one." Xu Qing saw that Jiang He was about to throw flowers into the air and quickly ordered, "Throw them one by one!"
The young man didn't want to laugh anymore. The serious look on their faces gave him goosebumps. Experts among the people?
Retired from the army?
The toy guns were not accurate, and darts were even more difficult. Where did their confidence come from …
Thinking of this, he relaxed again. The two of them were bragging …
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
…
"Can I take it now?" Jiang He clapped her hands and looked at the young man behind the counter.
"Yes."
"Can I?"
"Yes!" The young man quickly nodded. "Yes, yes!"
"You haven't seen it before, right?" Xu Qing chuckled. There were definitely people who could hit ten, but there were probably not many who could do it as casually as Jiang He did, tossing a few of them and finishing the job.
Clean and efficient.
"Do you want that belt?" Jiang He had already hugged the big white bear that was half the height of a person. She felt that the belt on the shelf was very nice.
"Brother, sister … this is a small business. I can understand if you experts come and play. If you like it, it's okay to take one or two … Otherwise, it will be hard for me to explain to the boss." The young man was already preparing to call the boss.
If the two of them wanted to empty this place, he really couldn't handle it.
"Didn't I say? I'll only play once. "
Xu Qing's words made the young man heave a sigh of relief. The rules were here. If it was in the night market, they could act shamelessly and close the stall. However, in the amusement park, they still had to listen to the amusement park. If they were warned by the park, they would also lose a lot. If they met such people, they could only give gifts or refund.
"Give me some bullets."
"…"
The young man then remembered that they had played each kind of game once.
He took out a set of bullets and handed it to Xu Qing. Xu Qing then handed it to Jiang He.
"I don't know how to play this." Jiang He hugged the big bear and shook her head. She still wanted to make a belt.
"I just want to try it because I haven't played it before."
"Hmm … Okay."
Jiang He handed his trophies to Xu Qing and tried to study the toy rifle. Xu Qing stood at the side and looked around. She put the big bear on the cabinet and went to the basketball hoop to scan the code and get ready to start.
Three basketballs. After entering the hoop and rolling out, she continued to throw them. She just had to throw them into the hoop a certain number of times within the specified time. Xu Qing moved his wrists and started to throw them under the young man's complicated gaze.
"Brother, have you guys practiced before?"
"Jiangcheng Darts Enthusiasts Association."
"Association?" His heart skipped a beat. The moment he heard the word, he knew it was definitely not just one or two people. He had to tell the boss that there was such a group of people in Jiangcheng who had nothing better to do. Otherwise, when the two of them went out and talked about it, the association would come over …
"It's just a casual game. Don't think too much." Xu Qing didn't get full marks. Not to mention the big bear, he was a little short of the belt. He could only use a selfie stick.
He took out his phone and took a picture to send to Wang Zijun. After a while, Wang Zijun replied.
"Damn! Damn! Last time I called you, you didn't want to go. Now you're playing secretly! "
"Bring your girlfriend. You don't have to line up now. "
"This place is a scam. I spent more than a thousand to get a lighter. I can buy a basket of it."
"Impulsive spending. You're the one who's screwed." Xu Qing held the big bear in his arms and took another picture to show off. "Look at this. "
"Goodbye."
Jiang He had used up all his bullets. They were not as good as darts. He only got a keychain as a reward. He was not satisfied.
"Is it fun?" Xu Qing asked as he put away his phone.
"No. It's not as good as darts."
Jiang He, who hadn't used her skills for a long time, felt that this shop was her lucky star. Unfortunately, she didn't need to think to know that the boss would not give her benefits all the time. It was impossible to empty the shop with darts.
"There are lovers' keys in this keychain?" Xu Qing noticed the keychain that Jiang He had just picked from the shelf. He took it and looked at it carefully. "Then you can play darts again."
"… Here's one for you. Pick whatever you want." The young man waved his hand.
"Let's play a little more." Xu Qing reached out his hand and touched Jiang He's hair. "She likes to play."
"Don't mess up my hair!"
Jiang He had fun again. One dart after another. Peng, peng, peng. She was a little reluctant to throw the last one. She used a little more force and the dart was nailed deep into the cork board.
She didn't get a second big bear. Instead, she changed the reward of ten darts into a belt and a keychain. Xu Qing took her to experience the claw machine. They used the coins given by the young man and went out with the big bear in his arms. A couple who was about to enter the shop were very envious.
"You win one for me too. I want the brown one!" The girl pointed at the big bear next to her.
"Maybe it's his girlfriend who wins." The boy complained casually. He raised his head inadvertently.
Huh? Why is the guy behind the counter looking at me like this?
…
"Is it fun?"
Xu Qing looked at Jiang He holding the big white bear in his arms. For some reason, he felt that it was cute.
"Yeah. You can earn such a big bear just by throwing it around. You can probably sell it for a lot of money, right?"
"… Can't you hug it to sleep? Girls seem to like to put this on their bed. "
"That's fine."
"Yeah. I'll get used to it first."
"Get used to what?" Jiang He poked his head out from behind the bear and looked at him.
"What?"
Xu Qing looked up at the sky.
"…"
They went to the entrance and stored the bear and the belt. The two of them followed the map to find a place to eat.
When they talked about strength, Xu Qing felt that he had already grasped the basics of his fist technique. Jiang He only glanced at him.
"It can only strengthen my body."
"So you mean I have no hope of beating you?"
"You're just training and have no experience. You want to beat me?"
"Are you trying to trick me into sparring with you?" Xu Qing was a little suspicious.
"Kungfu is learned through fighting."
Jiang He clenched his fists. The two crisp cracking sounds made Xu Qing's mouth twitch.
"You have no experience at all. You don't know how to fight, you don't know how to use your muscles, and you don't have any sense of distance. You don't even know how to resist blows …" Jiang He thought for a while and changed the topic. "If you encounter ordinary people, you should have no problem fighting two or three of them."
"Only two or three?" Xu Qing was a little disappointed. He thought there would be at least five or six.
"Just like what I taught you last time, if you encounter three people, you have to take care of one first …"
"Stop … I'm just saying. Don't be so serious. I don't take care of others. I don't."
The solution Jiang He mentioned was either killing or crippling, or becoming a vegetable or having a concussion. It was not enough to create a harmonious society.
"Then how many of me can you fight?" Xu Qing asked.
"Yeah …"
Jiang He looked down at his hands. He opened and closed his palms a few times, then raised his head to look at Xu Qing. He hesitated and said, "If I'm empty-handed, a few dozen should be no problem."
"Not one punch for one?"
After Xu Qing asked, he found that Jiang He was looking at him without saying a word.
"Yeah … You're saving me some face, right? I understand." Xu Qing reached out and touched her hair, stroking her ponytail all the way down.
If he didn't want to be suppressed, he had to be smart … Bah, smart.
"What if you use a sword?"
"Then you can't count."
