After school in the afternoon, Chen Shouyi finally got rid of the suggestion of two bad friends to go to the Internet cafe for a while and rode home alone.
"Dad, mom, I'm back."
It's still early to have dinner. Not even the busiest time, there is no guest in the restaurant. Mrs. Chen sits at the cashier, presses the calculator again and again, and doesn't raise her head:
"Are you hungry? If you're hungry, let your father get you a cover to water the rice."
People who open restaurants always have dinner very early, because waiting for normal meal time is often the busiest time.
"Wait for your little sister to eat together!" Chen Shouyi dropped his schoolbag and said listlessly.
"Then don't pestle here. Go back to your room and do your homework!" Chen's mother Jiang Fen glanced at him and said with disgust on her face.
"There is not much homework today. I have already finished it."
"Then help your father kill fish. With your achievement, I don't expect it."
Chen Shouyi is also used to being beaten. He has always been submissive. Hearing what he said, he didn't respond at all, and immediately obediently ran to the kitchen.
As Chen Dawei handled the ingredients, he laughed and said, "don't listen to your mother. Go back to your room and read a book. It's only a year since the college entrance examination. The second book may not be promising, and the third book I think can still be spelled out!"
"Who made your son stupid? It's not that I don't work hard, but I can't do well in the exam. What can I do?" Chen Shouyi couldn't help complaining in a low voice that he didn't rest all day this summer vacation and went to cram school, but his grades still didn't improve much.
He was most afraid of his mother when he was a child, so he could only talk to his father about this. He would never dare to talk to his mother.
As he said, he grabbed a fish and skilfully scraped the scales after he fell unconscious.
"I have to ask your mother. She didn't stay well when she was pregnant. She had to run around in the fields. As a result, she fell and gave birth to you ahead of time." Chen Dawei was in a good mood and said happily.
Compared with the smart second, he still likes this stupid son, who is like him.
"It's my fault!" Hearing Chen Dawei's voice, Chen's mother, who settled the accounts in front, immediately raised her head: "don't think about it. I was just busy farming when I was pregnant. I won't send you water. You are thirsty."
"Who blames you!" Chen Dawei heard that the knife was cutting meat. He immediately paused for a moment and hurried.
Chen Shouyi squeezed out a smile of schadenfreude.
In this family, Yin flourishes and Yang declines seriously. His mother has the highest status and speaks the most effectively. His father can only rank third. There is a sister in front of him. Of course, he is the most useless.
"Hiss!"
It seemed that joy begets sorrow. Chen Shouyi's knife for scraping fish scales was careless and too hard, and immediately cut his finger, and soon blood flowed.
"I told you not to do it, go and wash it quickly, and stick the wound on the tea table in the living room upstairs." Chen Dawei glanced and hurried.
After hurting his hand, Chen Shouyi naturally couldn't work. He washed his hands quickly and walked upstairs slowly.
His house is a self built street front house. The upper floor lives in a restaurant on the lower floor. When it was first built, it was still a rural suburb. These years, with the expansion of the city, this house has become more and more valuable.
He went upstairs and found the band aid. As soon as it was pasted, he heard the sweet and greasy voice of his sister downstairs.
Hearing Chen's mother's different attitude towards her daughter and him, Chen Shouyi secretly curled his lips.
This flatterer!
Don't watch him protect his sister so much outside. In fact, the relationship between the two has never been very good.
When I was a child, I grabbed toys, snacks and favors, and when I grew up, I compared my grades and certificates.
The existence of his sister always makes him feel like a place, like walking garbage.
The most sad thing for him is that when he couldn't rob her as a child, he could beat her and cry. Now even this, he is powerless.
She is now a quasi martial arts apprentice, and even with one hand, she can crush him.
"Brother, listen to mom that you cut the fish!" Soon, sister Chen Xingyue also walked upstairs and said with a smile.
With a ponytail and fair skin, Chen Xingyue looks charming and energetic.
But only Chen Shouyi knows how dark this sister is.
"What's the big deal? It's just a little broken!" Chen Shouyi tried to show his brother's dignity and said faintly. From her expression, he could see the taste of schadenfreude.
Chen Xingyue didn't get to the bottom of the matter. She took the remote control and turned on the TV.
"As we all know, the alien world is a world ruled by gods, and the social form in it is still in an uncivilized period, similar to the stone age and the Bronze Age in the early stage of mankind. However, with the recent exploration of pioneers, it is shown that the alien world is undergoing drastic age changes.
Now, Professor Luo, a famous sociologist, will comment in detail.
……”
He has always been very interested in programs from different worlds. Chen Shouyi simply sat on the sofa and watched them with interest. After watching them for a while, he turned his head and asked in doubt, "why don't you do your homework today?"
Chen Xingyue stared at the screen all the time and said expressionless, "I have been escorted by Beijing Wudao college."
"What!" Chen Shouyi turned his head in surprise, stuttered and said, "you... You have passed the martial apprentice examination."
"Not yet, but it's fast. My teacher estimates that if I practice for another month, I can pass the examination."
"But..."
"This year, the school has 30 escort places, and three are assigned to senior one. I am one of them." Chen Xingyue immediately interrupted before Chen Shouyi asked.
This calm and natural tone almost made Chen Shouyi go astray.
Wudao college and the college entrance examination are staggered. It is the spring enrollment, which means that his two-year-old sister graduated from high school half a year earlier than him.
"Haven't you told your parents yet?"
"Of course, such important things should be said at night!" Said Chen Xingyue.
Chen Shouyi didn't have a good way: "then why did you tell me first?"
"Who makes you my brother? Of course, I have to tell you the good news first!" Chen Xingyue finally couldn't hold her breath, and a big smile appeared on her face.
What a annoying sister, her heart is estimated to be black.
Chen Shouyi was beaten to pieces, but he still tried to control the facial muscles that he wanted to distort. Shut up and listen to her again. He estimated that he might suffocate his internal injury.
He stared at the TV closely, but just now he was watching the program with great interest, but at this time he was bored. Thinking of his gloomy future, he could no longer sit still and picked up his schoolbag:
"I went to read a book."
"It's time for dinner!"
"No... Er, wait for me to deliver it to my bedroom."
Walking to his bedroom and closing the door, Chen Shouyi immediately showed his frustration. Why are the girls in the class so hot and cute, but his sister is so annoying.
This is a naked show off. Sprinkle salt on his wound!
He took out his math textbook from his schoolbag, but he couldn't read it anyway.
He pushed aside his math book and went to the window cabinet in his bedroom, ready to change his mood.
The window cabinet is not only his bookshelf, but also his collection room. In addition to various reference books and anthologies, it also collects many items from different world styles, which are his favorites.
Bronze axes, leather shields, several stone slabs carved with mysterious totems, and several strange style wooden plates give people a sense of barbarism.
But these are all imitations bought from handicraft shops. Even laymen like Chen Shouyi can distinguish them at a glance.
The material of the bronze axe is obviously the product of industrial smelting, and the leather of the shield is also tanned from old cow leather. As for the totem of those stone slabs, there is no trace of time at all, and even the stones are granite everywhere on the earth.
However, not all of them are imitations. One of them, Chen Shouyi, suspected that it should be a product of the original world.
This is a rotten board.
It is dark in color, extremely poor in appearance, almost rotten, with thousands of storehouses and hundreds of holes on it, as if it had been eaten by termites. This phenomenon shows that its original body is likely to be some kind of supernatural object with extraordinary origin and great value.
Until reaching the earth, these supernatural forces disintegrated, and the materials rapidly eroded.
It has become a real rotten board. Even if it is thrown on the ground and meets a person who doesn't know the goods, no one will pick it up at all.
In fact, it's true that this rotten wood board was picked up by Chen Shouyi on a demolition site, and immediately became a treasure.
He opened the cupboard and took out the rotten board.
Under the corrosion of the rules of the universe, the interior of the board has been full of holes, but he can still feel that its material is still extremely hard, vaguely showing the uniqueness of its original body.
On the mottled surface of the board, you can vaguely see several mysterious patterns.
He once studied that this is a narrative painting. Many ancient murals on the earth are in this form. It seems to describe the major development process of some alien civilizations.
In that world, people used fire for the first time.
Use text for the first time.
……
There is a mysterious and complex emblem on the upper left corner of each painting, which is different from each other. As Chen Shouyi, who often watches different world explanation programs, has long known that this is the symbol of different world gods, and there are more than one.
Unfortunately, this is of no use. No matter how mysterious things fall to the earth, they will also become ordinary.
He stroked the board gently and sighed for the first time. If only this thing had supernatural power.
He couldn't help giggling when he thought of holding the board in his hand and countless bright lights shining on the earth.
