Classic revival of infinite games

Chapter 11 1.10
Although Di Ke's decision surprised Ye Man a bit, it made sense after careful consideration.

After all, Ye Man knew Di Ke's story.

On that rainy night in the university, Di Ke, who lost her grandma, told her story intermittently with tears in the warm embrace of Ye Man and Lin Xiaomei.

Dike, a left-behind child, is estranged from his parents and was brought up by his grandma since he was a child.

All the middle-aged people in the village went to the city to work, and those who stayed in the village were old people. Dike's sunny personality made her very popular among the old people.

At that time in the village, whenever the fruit was ripe, Di Ke would let Di Ke eat it to his heart's content.And Dike will also climb up and down to help the old people repair the house and check the pipes.

She ran in the fields during the daytime of every holiday, climbing trees, catching insects, and looking for snails, and in every dusk with a gentle sunset, there would be a remote voice of her grandma calling her back for dinner .

This local accent took care of every dream she had after the rainy night when she became lonely and helpless, and wet her pillow towel over and over again.

That was something that Di couldn't let go of. Although she lacked the care of her parents, she was full of the warmth of the world in her childhood.

And now the environment of this canyon gave Di Ke the illusion that he was still in the village.

Di Ke was silent for a long time, and said sullenly: "Ye Man, you may think that I am cowardly. Maybe I am so cowardly. I dare not continue this cruel competition. I want to live in the memory."

Ye Man said softly: "It's not impossible."

Di Ke was taken aback when he heard it, and then smiled in relief.

……

After everyone woke up, except Uncle Yang, everyone sat in a circle again.Di Ke and Ye Man told everyone about their respective decisions—Ye Man decided to move on, and Di Ke decided to stay in the canyon.

After hearing this, everyone was very happy that Di could stay here.

"Xiao Di, you can just buy a baobab tree and add an electric light." An aunt laughed, and she broke the bread fruit into small pieces and put it in her mouth, in the same posture as eating melon seeds, "Shovel, cloth We all have scissors and needlework, so don’t waste your money.”

"I'll make a skirt for each of you later." Aunt Li said enthusiastically, "It's been a long time since I made a skirt for a young girl."

"Let's not talk about your craftsmanship," her husband, Uncle Wang, snorted disdainfully, "Xiao Man is going to be the next player, so what's the use of your ragged skirt?"

"What did you say? Then tell me, what is useful? Just that broken slingshot you make every day? You can't use it to shoot birds, right?" Aunt Li spat.Seeing that they were about to quarrel again.

"I love wearing skirts so much! I like slingshots too!" Di Ke said loudly, "I have loved playing since I was a child."

The two stopped, turned their heads to look at Di Ke, stared blankly for a while, and unconsciously raised the corners of their mouths.

"All right, all right, look at you, you still want to quarrel with me in front of other little girls." Uncle Wang said while glancing at Aunt Li.

"It's not you, you must say that the things I made are useless. Are the pants I made on you worn out? I'll take a look later." Aunt Li pursed her lips, but her tone softened.

The two were awkward for a long time, and it took a while before they looked at each other and smiled.

Ye Man smiled from the bottom of her heart—Di Ke never wore skirts, and the slingshot was already a child's play for her.

But she believes that it won't be long before Dike will return to that innocent kid in a small skirt playing with a slingshot in this canyon.

After a while, Deke ran to the vending machine to buy something, spent all her points, and bought three things—baobab seeds, post-it lights, and an infinite backpack.

She stuffed the backpack to Ye Man: "Ye Man, my points are useless, this is for you. You can save some points to buy high-end props and walk down for me."

Ye Man looked at the backpack in his hand, pondered for a while, and asked earnestly: "Di Ke, if one day, you have a chance to go out, do you want to go out?"

"Of course go out!" Di Ke replied without hesitation, "Games are certainly not as good as the old dreams for me. But reality will always be an irreplaceable reality."

She exhaled and said to Ye Man: "Ye Man, if one day you go out to this game, if it's convenient, remember to rescue me. Remember, if it's convenient, don't take any risks."

"I see. If it is convenient, I will help you. If it is not convenient, you can rest here for the rest of your life." Ye Man said with a smile.

"Also, I know this is nonsense, that is, you must pay attention to safety." Di Ke lowered his head and said, "You are smarter and better than me, and I have no advice for you. The only one is that you are more brave than me. .I hope you don't try to be tough."

Ye Man gently touched her head as a response.

……

Aunt Li's clothes were ready quickly, using the self-healing cloth of the canyon, but not a small skirt.

She discussed with everyone for a long time, and what she finally made for Ye Man was a black hooded cloak, which was convenient for Ye Man to shelter from the wind and rain occasionally; what she made for Di Ke was a pair of loose trousers, so that Di Ke could climb trees freely .

Uncle Wang used the branches of the baobab tree and the elastic bands in the sewing kit to make two well-crafted and well-designed slingshots for them.

Grandpa Liang picked a bag of breadfruit from his own tree and gave it to Ye Man.

Many people also collected small scissors, needles and threads that they didn't use at home, and gave them all to Ye Man.

"This..." Ye Man was full of presents in front of him.

"It's okay, we don't need it, the smallest size scissors are not good for work, if you don't mind it, take it with you."

"We have a lot of needles and threads here, and we can't use them all up."

"Bread will grow again tomorrow, and it's a waste if you don't pick it."

They each found their own reasons, and asked Ye Man to take them without any explanation.

Ye Man couldn't shirk it, so he accepted them all.

She put all these into the infinite backpack given by Di Ke.

The infinite backpack is really an artifact. It doesn't look big, but it doesn't get heavier after swallowing so much.

Its shape can be changed into different bag styles, as long as Ye Man can change it with a little imagination.

The most important thing is that as long as Ye Man reaches in, he will be the first to touch what she subconsciously wants.

Like the pocket of a Doraemon.

"Ye Man, actually..." Grandpa Liang blushed suddenly, "We also have something to ask you."

He scratched his head uncomfortably, as if he was not used to asking for help: "Those travelers didn't have much communication with us before, and we can't entrust this matter to strangers."

"Grandpa Liang," Ye Man said sincerely, "I'll see if I can help."

"That is... if you meet a woman who is especially good at killing fish in the future, and she has a red flower pinned to her head all the time, you can ask her if her surname is Sun." Grandpa Liang was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Please apologize to her for us, just say...we shouldn't have said that about her child..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Man expectantly.

Ye Man understood, and promised, "If I meet her, I will definitely tell her!"

Only then did everyone show a relieved look.

As for what they said and why they said it, they didn't reveal it, and Ye Man didn't ask.

She only knows that everyone is a pure and kind person, but there are some misunderstandings that need to be resolved, and that is enough.

Now, it's time for her to move on to the next stop.
