A kindergarten in Star City.

After the children had finished eating at noon, a young female teacher made sure that the children had gone to bed and took a nap, she sat at the door, put on headphones, picked up her mobile phone and started watching the video.

After a while, a small hand patted the female teacher's arm lightly. She looked up and found that it was Liu Shiling, the "most popular child" in the class.

The female teacher took off the earphones, subconsciously held Liu Shiling's chubby hand, and asked in a low voice with concern: "What's wrong with Shiling?"

Liu Shiling also whispered: "Teacher, I am thirsty and want to drink saliva."

So the female teacher got up and walked to the wall, found the one with Liu Shiling's name written in a row of stainless steel water cups, poured her a small and a half glass of boiling water, helped to blow it for a while, and then gave it to her: "Sip, be careful hot."

"Thank you teacher." Liu Shiling took the water glass and sipped the water while blowing the heat.

The female teacher sat by the door again, but did not continue to watch the video, but picked up the phone to read some text messages.

Liu Shiling moved the small bench by herself and put it next to the female teacher, and then leaned over to sit down with a water glass, and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, what video were you watching just now?"

"I'm watching the news," the female teacher whispered back.

"Can I watch it with you?" Liu Shiling applied in a low voice, "I can't sleep."

The female teacher was stunned for a moment. Some children are actually interested in news videos?

After thinking for a while, she nodded and agreed, so she took out the earphones again, cleaned the earplugs briefly, gave Liu Shiling one, then plugged in the phone and continued to watch the video she was watching.

What she was watching was a video introducing what happened in Montamira last night. The host UP edited various news at home and abroad and made videos of netizens together, and then combined them with their own language and subtitles for explanation.

What is being played in the video is a shot of sweeping smashed shops and streets with sporadic blood stains, and then the camera is flipped. A Chinese boss is standing in front of the shop where he was smashed, shooting and introducing himself in Chinese Late experience, obviously this was originally a video posted on his own social media.

The female teacher couldn't help but hesitated. Isn't it inappropriate to show this kind of video to kindergarten children?Although there are no direct images of violence, these images are the result of riots.

In fact, Liu Shiling heard several teachers discussing relevant news in the aisle in the morning. She was not interested in current events or news. Even Myanmar and Montamira couldn’t tell what it was or where it was. I don't know how far it is from Star City.

But she heard two words that came up when the teachers were discussing: "eight arms" and "eight eyes".

Liu Shiling immediately thought of the "pet" of Uncle Bald, the "Barbie Warrior" she named.

So I was very curious, and wanted to know what news the teachers were discussing, and whether they described it as a "Barbie Warrior" with "eight arms and eight eyes".

It's a pity that she can't go on QQ, and can't confirm with Uncle Bald, and the teachers didn't talk anymore after a few simple discussions.

Just before taking a nap, she happened to see what the teacher was reading on her mobile phone, which seemed to be related news. There was a flashing picture of eight giants with arms, so she leaned in, cheeky and requested to watch it together.

"Teacher, can you start watching from the beginning?" After watching for a while, Liu Shiling suddenly asked carefully.

The female teacher was even more surprised. Is Liu Shiling really interested in this news?

She originally watched it for 6 or 7 minutes, and it didn't make much difference if she pulled it back to review it, and now she is more interested in why Liu Shiling likes to watch such news clips.

The video started playing again. In front of it was a girl who had experienced the riots in Montamira last night and saw the phantom of a monster with eight arms and eight eyes. She took a selfie with her mobile phone to describe her experience last night.

The girl happened to be doing graphic design-related work, and she also learned to paint. When she returned to the hotel last night, she drew the phantom of the eight-armed eight-eyed monster she saw.

When Liu Shiling glanced at the screen just now, he saw the picture being displayed.

After restarting the video, the female teacher lost her attention on the phone. The corner of her eye had been observing Liu Shiling, and then she was surprised to find that the child actually opened his eyes and stared at the screen very seriously. Watch this news clip and commentary video.

"Teacher, can I stop here?" Liu Shiling suddenly raised her face and said to the teacher.

"Ah? Oh, here?" The female teacher subconsciously clicked on the screen, paused the video, and found that it was a sketch of the phantom of the eight-armed eight-eyed monster.

Liu Shiling said, "Teacher, can you cut this picture off and send it to QQ? I want to learn how to draw this."

The female teacher looked at the painting again and was surprised: "Why would you want to paint this? Don't you... feel scary?"

Liu Shiling was also surprised: "Why is it scary? It didn't do bad things... Teacher, did it do bad things?"

The female teacher was stunned. In fact, she had already seen some news about Montamira in the morning, especially the description of the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster phantom". After work, she had some discussions with other teachers. The reason for the appearance of the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" itself varies, but there is one thing that most media, people who have experienced it, and the netizens who participated in the discussion have reached a consensus-the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster phantom" in Bangladesh The appearance of Tamira objectively stopped a large-scale riot and saved countless people who might have died in the riot.

Seeing Liu Shiling still waiting for her answer with two big black eyes, the female teacher had to tell the truth: "It didn't do bad things, but... it did good things and saved many people."

Liu Shiling laughed a little happily: "So it is a very powerful and well-loved monster! I want to paint it!"

The female teacher immediately remembered some animals with many wings and many eyes that Liu Shiling had often painted before, and she was relieved to understand that this little girl liked this kind of picture, which just fit her aesthetic.

"Okay, I'll cut it off and send it to you." The female teacher took a screenshot of the video and sent it to Liu Shiling's QQ. This QQ friend was still Liu Shiling asked the teacher to add it two days ago.

But what makes the female teacher a little puzzled is that after Liu Shiling said joyfully "Thank you teacher!", she continued to watch the news video about Montamilla with her, even if the girl’s "Eight" did not appear again. The picture of the "Eight-Eyed Monster with Arms" is just a collection of relevant selfies and interview videos of some people who witnessed it. Liu Shiling still watched it with gusto.

The female teacher naturally didn't know. After watching for such a short time, Liu Shiling had basically believed that those people in the video described them as the "Barbie Warriors" of the bald-headed uncle. She had no evidence or basis for judgment, just intuition.

"Barbie Warrior" has done good things again, she feels proud.

In the afternoon, Liu Shiling’s class happened to be a painting class, so after drawing the content that the teacher explained to be painted, she began to press the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" drawn by the young lady on the teacher’s phone at noon. "Sketch map, to redesign her own "Barbie Warrior" map.

Because the tablet is not around, I can’t access QQ, and now it’s not easy to find a teacher to borrow a mobile phone to watch, so I can’t compare the pictures drawn by my little sister. Liu Shiling can only try to imitate from memory.

It's a pity that although the little fat girl has improved a lot in her painting level under the guidance of Tang Baona during this period, she is still far from the young lady in the video. She insists on drawing that kind of complex and realistic pictures, which is too far beyond her ability. Moreover, her memory of that picture is somewhat deviated from the reality, incorporating her own impression of the real "Barbie Warrior" in her dream.

As a result, not only did it fail to be as majestic as Miss Sister’s painting, but it also had the majesty of watching sentient beings. On the contrary, it was worse than the "Barbie Warrior" she painted before.

Looking at the uglier "Barbie Warrior" on the drawing paper, Liu Shiling sighed helplessly, her eyebrows frowned together.

"Ha, is this the picture in the video at noon in the painting? Shiling painted well, very cute." The female teacher who walked to Liu Shiling glanced at the painting she drew, her arms rounded , The chubby "Barbie Warrior" smiled and praised.

Liu Shiling's expression is even more bitter, "Barbie Warrior" should be majestic, not cute!

...

After going home with her mother in the afternoon, Liu Shiling immediately asked her for a PAD, then returned to the room, logged in to QQ, and saved the screenshot of the video sent by the teacher.

She took out the drawing book and frowned at the picture drawn by the young lady on the PAD for a long time, but still did not write.

She thought for a while, opened QQ again, found Tang Baona’s portrait, clicked it, and was about to press the voice button, and remembered that Old Sister said that she and her pretty sister are going to another place during this time, and they have to be busy. So there is no way to teach her to draw and sing for now.

She scratched her head, flicked on the list of less than ten QQ friends, and clicked on the head of a cartoon deer wearing a helmet—this is the QQ of "Da Lu" Zhou Lutong.

Before, she and "Da Lu" exchanged letters through Xiaomei several times. "Da Lu" gave her several paintings, and she gave "Da Lu" several origami papers. The last time they both added QQ, but after adding them, they only printed After a hello, no words have been spoken since.

Liu Shiling posted the saved screenshot of the video, and then sent a voice call for help: "Dalu Dalu, I want to learn this painting, how should I learn it?"

Liu Shiling did not wait for a reply, but continued to try to draw "Barbie Warrior" in her own way, because she knew that "Dalu" was a primary school student, and the school time was later than their kindergarten.

After dinner in the evening, Liu Shiling finally received a reply from "Da Lu", but her reply was neither text nor voice, but a picture.

That picture is the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" drawn by the young lady in the video screenshot she sent earlier, but "Dalu" very accurately refined some of the characteristics of the painting, exaggerated those characteristics a little, and simplified other details , And thicker the lines to make the painting style cartoon.

Liu Shiling's eyes brightened as soon as she saw the picture sent by "Da Lu", she didn't need to say anything. The picture alone had solved the previous problem.

The pictures that the young lady drew were sketches. Liu Shiling had never studied them. She drew simple colored pen drawings, so it is difficult to imitate this kind of painting with many details and realistic style.

But "Dalu" helped her deconstruct and reorganize, but it made her feel immediately, so in accordance with the new style of "Dalu", some features of "Barbie Warrior" that she had seen in dreams were added, and she quickly drew it A relatively satisfactory "Barbie Warrior" came.

After finishing the painting, Liu Shiling picked up her painting and looked carefully. His head tilted to the left and right, his eyes squinted, and a smile on his face, quite proud.

Then she began to tear up small confetti. After tearing a lot of small confetti, she controlled the two coins of "chocolate" and "ice cream" to jump into the confetti. After a while, it seemed that there was an ultra-small hurricane wrapped in paper. The crumbs jumped up, and then one hurricane turned into two, and the upper ends of the two hurricanes were connected again, converging, condensing, and extending.

Soon, under the influence of the two coins, the paper scraps formed the image of an eight-armed villain with a height of more than 30 centimeters.

And she deliberately blacked out a part of the confetti, preparing to control those confetti to the head of the villain to form eight eyes.

Unfortunately, her control accuracy is still a little bit worse. In a pile of confetti, there is still no way to accurately locate the blackened confetti, so the eight-armed man’s eyes are basically on his stomach, and he was stabbed to eight. It's like a hole.

Although it is not perfect, Liu Shiling is already very happy looking at the image of this eight-armed villain-at least no one will recognize it as a standing crab or a tree with leaves wiped out by the wind. !

She worked hard to paint the "Barbie Warrior" not only because she likes to paint, but because she can establish and construct a more specific and perfect "Barbie Warrior" image in her mind!

In this way, when she uses "magic" to build the image of "Barbie Warrior", she will be even more prestigious!

Although Uncle Bald had previously explained that he cannot use "magic" to build the image of a "Barbie Warrior" outdoors or in front of people, but if you don't prepare and practice first, you will get a "barbie warrior" when you need it. "Standing Crab", that would be too shameful, I'm sorry for the prestige of "Barbie Warrior".

"Barbie Warrior", but her name!

In the future, maybe "Barbie Warrior" can use her magic to have real bodies in this world and entities to fight against bad guys, instead of being treated as non-existent hallucinations and illusions!

Liu Shiling, who successfully constructed the eight-armed villain out of confetti, was very happy. He controlled the eight-armed confetti villain to float in the air, swinging his eight arms constantly, like swimming in the air.

"Hula, hula~, Barbie Warrior is flying~, hula, hula, Barbie Warrior is super capable, hula..."

While controlling the eight-armed confetti villain to fly around in the room, Liu Shiling happily hummed a song that she didn't know was based on the melody.

Mother Shiling, who was in the living room watching TV while grooming the "Egg Yolk Pie", vaguely seemed to hear her daughter groaning in the room, she couldn't help frowning, holding the egg yolk pie to the door of the room with her ears on the door. listen.

After listening for a while, Shiling's mother felt that Liu Shiling seemed to be crying in the room, she couldn't help but was shocked, and hurriedly pushed the door in: "Shiling, what's the matter with you?"

"Yeah!" She was startled by her mother who suddenly opened the door. Liu Shiling, who was still humming wildly, jumped subconsciously and almost bit her tongue.

And the eight-armed confetti villain who was flying diagonally above her head also collapsed. First two coins fell to the ground, and then confetti fluttered in the sky, fluttering down from the little fat girl's body like snowflakes.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Shiling’s mother was also dumbfounded, and then immediately realized that her daughter was probably playing the house alone again, making confetti as snowflakes, and then imagined herself as a white-haired girl alone in winter. Up.

"Liu Shiling! How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to tear paper scraps and play with it! It's hard to clean up, you know! Those paper scraps are floating everywhere, around the table and corners, and they can't be swept away, you know? !"

So under the gaze of the violent mother, the little fat girl hurriedly shrank her neck to sweep the floor with a broom-although she would be much more efficient if she controlled "chocolate" and "ice cream" to "collect".

The "Egg Yolk Pie" also ran over and followed Liu Shiling very well, and accompanied her to sweep the floor. From time to time, he could find confetti floating under the bed or in the corner.

But no matter how Liu Shiling looked at the chubby cat face, he felt that it was gloating.

Shiling's mother, who was watching her daughter sweep the floor with her arms in her arms, actually didn't have any stern or angry expressions on her face. Instead, the corners of her mouth were curved upward.

I don't know why, but now that she sees her daughter making stupid and mistakes, she feels happy and relaxed in her heart.

In the previous period of time, her daughter’s performance has always become more and more sensible and mature. She no longer has to watch cartoons every day, no longer arguing every day to eat delicious food, no longer be naughty and messy, but love to learn and not noisy Be nice and quiet, but it makes her feel uncomfortable, but she doesn't know what to do. You can't just tell your daughter "Don't be so behaved".

Suddenly, Shiling’s mother caught a glimpse of several paintings on the desk in the room. The top one was a person with eight arms and eight eyes. It looked good regardless of the overall shape, the proportions of the parts, and the coloring. , My daughter seems to have made progress in painting again?

This is not the first time that my daughter has painted this eight-armed and eight-eyed image. She has painted it several times before and is listed as Liu Shiling's favorite image alongside the orange cat with several pairs of wings and eyes.

When she saw it before, she didn’t think too much, she thought it was her daughter who was imaginative, but she suddenly thought of some news she saw today. The monster illusions described by the tourists from Myanmar in the news seemed to be eight. Eight eyes on the arm?

Shiling's mother frowned slightly, but she was relieved quickly. This image of many hands and many eyes does not always belong to anyone. The world is so big, there should be many. It is estimated that her daughter thought of seeing a cartoon image. .

But looking at the picture on the table, Shiling's mother still felt a little strange, as if she had forgotten something?
