Richard, who was sitting on the table, glanced at Pandora, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Pandora?"
"Ah?" Pandora came back to her senses and looked over as if she had been awakened from sleep.
"How do you remember the Nine-Nine Watch I taught you?"
"Um..." Pandora's eyes widened little by little, and she said with a guilty conscience for a long time, "Almost, um, almost."
"Almost? Well, let's memorize it."
"Ah!" Pandora's eyes opened even wider, "Now?"
"if not?"
Under Richard's gaze, Pandora spoke reluctantly, stumbling on her back.
"One for one gets one."
The one-word form passed successfully.
"One two makes two, two two makes four."
The two-character form passed successfully.
"One three makes three... four four sixteen."
After that, the three-character table and the four-character table were also passed, and we came to the five-character table.
"One five makes five, two five ten." Pandora began to continue reciting. The first two sentences were smooth, but the next second she suddenly got stuck.
"Three five, three five, three five..." Pandora repeatedly chanted the word "three five", her eyes were extremely blank, as if she was looking for an answer smaller than a leaf in the vast sea.
After a long while, Richard couldn't help but ask: "How much is three to five?"
"Three five, three five, three five..."
"Huh." Richard exhaled and encouraged, "Think about it carefully, three or five-"
Pandora was encouraged, her confidence strengthened, her eyes shimmered, then suddenly brightened the next moment, as if she suddenly found the answer smaller than a leaf in the vast sea.
"Three five thirty-five!" Pandora shouted.
"How many?"
"Three-five-thirty-five!" Pandora's voice became louder and she was full of confidence.
Richard stood up, walked up to Pandora with a click, raised his hand and patted Pandora on the head.
"oops!"
Pandora covered her head and made a sound, not crying in pain, but more out of curiosity: "What are you doing? I said it right, why did you hit me?"
"It's strange that you are right." Richard corrected his mistake seriously, "Three-five-fifteen! Five-seven is thirty-five!"
"Oh, is that so?" Pandora lowered her head, and the confidence she had finally built up collapsed instantly.
"Recite it again." Richard said seriously.
"Oh." Pandora pouted and started to memorize.
"One for one gets one."
"One two makes two, two two makes four..."
"One three makes three, two three makes six..."
"One four is four, two four is eight..."
Soon we came to the five-character table again.
"One five makes five, two five ten, three five - three five -" the smooth voice paused for a moment, then repeated.
Familiar recipe, familiar taste.
"Three five, three five, three five..." Pandora kept chanting, looking up at Richard with great embarrassment, and looked at Richard.
"Three five..." Pandora said.
"Three or five?" Richard asked.
"Three five..." Pandora said.
"Three or five?" Richard asked again.
"Three-five..." Pandora frowned, "Three-five... I don't know!"
"Think about it."
"Three five, three five, three five..." Pandora thought for a long time and then asked tentatively, "Three five... twenty?"
Richard: "..."
Taking a deep breath, he asked with a straight face: "Three, five, twenty, what about four or five?"
"Four or five... uh, twenty-five?" Pandora asked tentatively again.
"Where's fifty-five?" Richard covered his forehead, "Don't tell me, it's thirty."
"Then... is it thirty-five?" Pandora's confidence became seriously lacking.
"Snapped!"
Richard patted Pandora's head again with one hand.
"Five-seven-thirty-five! If five-five is also thirty-five, doesn't it mean that five-five is equal to five-seven, and five is equal to seven?"
"So five equals seven!" Pandora suddenly realized.
"Of course five is not equal to seven!" Richard said.
Pandora winced: "Then you told me earlier, I thought five equals seven..."
"call-"
Richard took a deep breath again, not wanting to have too much discussion with Pandora on this topic, and solemnly said: "Remember, one to five is five, two to five is ten, three to five is fifteen, four to five is twenty." , five-five-twenty-five! Memorize it again."
"Just carry it on your back." Pandora said, quickly carrying it on her back, "One by one..."
"No need to start from scratch, just start from the five-character list." Richard interrupted.
"Oh." Pandora said, tilting her head and thinking for a while before saying, "One five makes five, two five ten."
"Yes, where is Sanwu?"
"Three five-three five, three five...three five!" Pandora was stuck, her big eyes turning rapidly in her eye sockets.
Richard opened his mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Huh?" Richard was stunned, a little confused as to who was knocking on the door. Before knocking on the door, he didn't hear any footsteps approaching.
Pandora heard the knock on the door, but she felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She couldn't recite the three or five words, so she quickly said: "I'll open the door."
With that said, Richard ran towards the door without being able to refuse, and opened the door the next moment. However, when I looked left, right, up, and down, I couldn't even see the shadow of a person, let alone a person. It seemed like the knock on the door just now was just an illusion.
"It's strange. There was obviously someone knocking on the door, but how could there be no one?" Pandora closed the door again, scratched her head and walked back full of doubts.
Richard waved his hand: "Don't worry about whether there is anyone there first, memorize the nine-nine table and then start. Let's do it again, starting from the five-character table."
"Again?" Pandora grimaced.
"if not?"
"Okay." Pandora said helplessly, "One five is five, two five is ten, three five - three five - three five -"
Familiar stuck.
Then, there was a familiar knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"I'll go take a look." Pandora's expression changed at first, and then she rushed to the door with great enthusiasm, and opened the door with a "squeak", but after searching around carefully, she still didn't see the person knocking on the door.
With a "squeak", she closed the door again. Pandora walked back, sat down on the bed, looked at Richard, and asked tentatively: "Do you still want to carry it?"
"Of course you have to memorize it." Richard said, "At least you have to memorize the five-character list first. It's been five days, one list a day, and you have to memorize the five-character list."
"Okay." Pandora lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, "One five - five! Two five - ten! Three five -"
There was a long silence.
"Bang bang bang!"
The knock on the door for help came as promised.
Pandora was about to jump out of bed in an instant to open the door, but was pushed back to the bed with a "bang" by Richard, who was blessed with the brute force of wind and the effects of wind lord.
Pandora raised her head, looked at Richard, and said, "Scared?"
"Ignore the knock on the door, recite the five-character list first," said Richard.
"But..." Pandora pouted, rolled her eyes, and spoke righteously, "But the knocking on the door affects me! Yes, it is the knocking on the door that affects me, and it's so difficult to do three or five, so... I I can’t recite it.”
As if to match Pandora's words, the knock on the door rang for the fourth time.
"Bang bang bang!"
