Chapter 053

Mutual understanding?

This was something he never thought of, but such words were said so naturally.Chao Chen raised his eyes, opened his eyes slightly, stared at him deeply, and then looked away unnaturally: "Okay."

Gongyangyue laughed, and said with taste: "What are you thinking? I'm talking about playing chess."

Chao Chen peeked at it, his heart jumped twice, he coughed three times, and then puffed up his chest and said in a low voice, "What I said is also playing chess, who cares about you."

"Tell me then."

"say what?"

Gong Yangyue squinted: "Anything is fine. When did you start playing chess? Why did you learn chess? Who did you learn it from? Are there any famous players you admire? What kind of layout do you prefer?"

This situation is wrong. At first glance, who is teaching whom?

Chao Chen was dumbfounded, and couldn't help asking: "Is it really just playing chess?" Then he sat down, thought about it, and chatted while playing chess: "I learned chess for the first time when I was 13 years old, and I played chess for the first time the following year. , I can't even shoot in the middle game, the general situation is gone, and I still gritted my teeth until the end, and the result was a terrible loss."

"Ten fourteen? That's a bit late." Gong Yangyue listened carefully, and casually put down a piece on the chessboard, pretending to be real.

Chao Chen recalled the bitterness, but didn't notice it at first, but when he suddenly realized that this move was so clever, he felt as if he was being stabbed by a needle in his heart, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "Yeah, how can I make up for the time when others start talking at the age of three? Asking people for advice, playing games every day, even playing against myself when no one is around, is still not enough. You know, at the beginning, I couldn’t even see enough, and there was no lack of flattery around me. So I set up a game where Zhenlong blasphemed the world, and finally...heh..."

In the end, of course, he returned in frustration.

The aristocratic families in Jiangzuo, with the background of several generations, can be considered to be mediocre, and they can make a talent out of nowhere, let alone the big families of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. He is alone and has no one to rely on. What can be surpassed?

Gong Yangyue sighed sadly: "Isn't it because I like it?"

"Maybe there was a little bit, or maybe, not at all." Those words that were pressed in my heart were never spoken to anyone in the past. Who would have thought that the first listener would be the immortal Ram Moon.Chao Chen shrugged, looking back, although he was full of disgust for the past, but his tone gradually relaxed, "Actually, during that time, not only chess, but also learned a lot of things, so that I couldn't hear the window, rushing through the cold and heat, it was really like Wang Zhilanke."

"Gone?"

Seeing Gong Yangyue resting her chin, Chao Chen dropped the chess piece heavily, and suddenly had an idea: "You solve this game, and I'll talk about it later."

"Then tell me who you have lost to, and you have a chance to look up."

Chao Chen stared.

Gong Yangyue said with a smile: "You heard it wrong, I want you to talk about their chess moves, maybe they can make up for your weaknesses. If you attack, I will chase down for you; if you defend, I will go down." Work hard."

Chao Chen knocked over a cup of black tea: "Gongyangyue, you really don't know how to play chess?"

"Guess?" Gong Yangyue tilted his feet to avoid the winding water on the bamboo mat, and rolled his eyes with a smile, "Didn't I say that I know a little, just a little."

"You fool me?"

A modest gentleman, the self-proclaimed upright Mr. Chao finally couldn't bear it and raised his fist.

----

At the second quarter of Yin time, Cui Tanfeng sat on the edge of a high cliff and poured a glass. The long wind blew up his sleeve robe, and under the moonlight, his whole body was as transparent as glass. He lifted the curtain and threw it backwards. face.The latter tickled and turned over. At this moment, Qiao Min stepped over him expressionlessly, poked the drunken carp on the grass slope with a dead branch, and said, "Go back and sleep."

The lamps and candles in the bamboo building were still on, and Shuang Li rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "They really just played chess like this all night?"

Qiao Min didn't say anything, took out the hemp rope from somewhere, and walked towards her.

Shuang Li didn't know what weird idea came to him, so he quickly raised his hand: "I'll go by myself." After saying three steps and two, he went downhill quickly, and took the opportunity to go around to the front of the building, peeped a few more times, and yelled "My darling", I thought to myself, it's really strange that two people who are incompatible with each other can coexist peacefully in a game of chess.

As soon as the two of them left, Bai Xing turned back and put a blanket on his body, only to see the black shadow flicker, and Cui Tanfeng had another person standing shoulder to shoulder.

The doctor in white handed the wine jar forward: "Clan Chief Meng, would you like a sip?"

The night passed.

In the morning, the rooster crowed, and Gong Yangyue, who was resting on the table, woke up suddenly. She called Chao Chen to change clothes and set off.

At Yan Chuihong's age, he didn't feel drowsy. When the two arrived at the inn, they had already eaten breakfast and had finished a game of chess.When Chao Chen came here, he was still worried about such an old man, and when he saw Gong Yangyue, he would either point his finger at Maimang, or sneer at him, but the head of the Yan family obviously didn't think the same way, he smiled and greeted him, and all he asked was "" You are the Ram Moon".

It seems that since Gu Zai me, everyone who sees Gongyangyue will ask this question, but they are not too young, and they shouldn't be the minds of children who would listen to rumors about evil ghosts and three heads and six arms in the rivers and lakes.

However, Yan Chuihong was really seriously ill. Yesterday in the dark carriage, he could only see a rough outline. Today, when he faced her, he realized that his cheeks were prolapsed, his eyes were swollen, and his complexion was very bad.If it weren't for the foundation of kung fu, I should have been lying on the couch and "alas", not to mention getting up, it is already good to be able to keep my head clear.

Yan Chuihong said: "My situation, you can also see that playing chess is exhausting, but I can't stand the toss anymore. Don't say that I bully the small with the big. Today, the Yan family will talk with you. Let me see."

Chao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, Yan Chuihong invited Sanfanqi.

The first game was played by the four chess servants around him. The chess skills of the four were average, but Chao Chen needed to play against the four at the same time, and won more than half of the game to be considered a winner.Not to mention that human energy is limited, splitting into four parts is quite exhausting, but the four players have different styles of chess and chess styles, and they need to change relative to each other, and they must concentrate on it, otherwise they will be confused, and at worst, they will lose one piece. It's a complete loss.

Gong Yangyue couldn't help much, so he quietly watched the battle from the sidelines.

Yan Chuihong occasionally watched chess, occasionally watched people, and often thought deeply with his chin propped. Several times Yan Yi muttered to himself in a hurry, but he ordered him to silence.

Unfortunately half an hour later, there were two players in the mid game, and only two of them were still fighting hard. For veteran chess players, the outcome is already decided.

"Young man, come and have a cup of tea," Yan Chuihong waved at Gongyangyue, "I really envy your body and bones. It's the same disaster, but it's so much better for me."

The waiter moved the small table and put it on the couch. Gong Yangyue sat down obediently and smiled softly: "Is the master not in a hurry? Your people will lose the game."

"Oh?" Yan Chuihong looked at him differently, with great interest, "You also know chess?"

"I don't know chess, but I understand people," Gong Yangyue flipped his sleeves and pointed to the two teenagers who were making moves. Difficulty; but the Chizi could not be lowered for a long time, and the plate was a little heavier than before, indicating that the attack could not be lowered, and he was a little out of breath. And this..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the condition of the Yan family was even worse. Yan Yi got annoyed and stopped talking: "Watch the chess without talking, don't talk nonsense!"

"Wuyou, it's chess that doesn't talk." Yan Chuihong didn't care much, and cheerfully signaled Gong Yangyue to continue.

Gong Yangyue continued: "This man seems to be calm, he plays chess with wind in his sleeves, sits in his seat without moving, but after the middle game, he touches his chin and scratches his neck from time to time, which shows that he doesn't know the depth of the opponent, and feels guilty in his heart. Very unsure."

Not long after the words were finished, another one voted, and the remaining one persisted until the end, and also lost a few.The four of them were young and undecided, and felt uneasy after losing the game. They all kowtowed in front of the couch to make amends, but Yan Chuihong stretched out most of his body, helped him up himself, and said softly: "You can hear what he said, you are weak-tempered." It’s good to face it squarely, if you can change it, encourage it, if you can’t, it doesn’t matter. Get up.”

Yan Yi was not convinced: "If it weren't for your words, they would have lost. Why didn't you talk about your people?"

Yan Chuihong shook his head, a little helpless, wanting to stop.

"Because whether you say it or not, I know he will win." Gong Yangyue looked at Chao Chen, who also looked up, and when his eyes met, he was slightly startled when he heard his words.

Yan Yi muttered: "That's a nice way to say it."

"You know people very well, young man," Yan Chuihong chuckled, and looked at Chao Chen, agreeing, "This child is restrained and bright-eyed, which is rare."

Gong Yangyue picked up the teacup, looked down at the ripples of the tea soup, and said indifferently: "It's absurd to say this, but I know that if he has something in his heart, he will stick to it to the end." As he spoke, he challenged Chao Chen. Eyebrow, those smiling eyes seem to be saying, for example, you killed me.

Chao Chen managed to feel a little warmth in his heart, but it quickly cooled down, and then quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Please ask the Patriarch to play the second round."

Yan Chuihong withdrew his smile: "You should know, just throwing stones to ask the way, to test your chess skills, the next step may not be easy."

Chao Chen thought for a while and said, "If I win by chance, will the Patriarch break his promise?"

"will not."

With another promise, Chao Chen felt relieved and became more determined.Yan Chuihong stopped talking, pointed to the four sons just now, and asked him to choose one to play blind chess in the second game.

Chao Chen was cautious, first looked at the two players in the middle of the game, the two lost early, and when they saw the momentum was not good, they abandoned them. They didn't see much, and it was hard to say whether there was a backstop, so he avoided them; The last two, however, had obvious flaws and seemed to be more favorable. After hesitating for a moment, he ordered one of them.

Meng Wanzhi personally fetched the black cloth and blindfolded Chao Chen, making sure she couldn't see the light before returning.The two sat opposite each other at the table, and the other boy who was not selected knelt beside Chao Chen and made a gesture for him.

Gong Yangyue was drinking tea, when she heard the sound of the child falling, a sudden idea came to her mind, she suddenly raised her head to look at Yan Chuihong, who was still sitting like the spring breeze, and two drops of tea soup in her hand splashed across the tiger's mouth.Yan Chuihong stretched out her five fingers and swaggered silently, her smiling eyes replaced her mouth, and she spoke the answer.

For the first time, Ram Moon felt like sitting on pins and needles.

After about forty hands, Chao Chen broke out in a cold sweat, and even the corners of the black cloth that was blindfolded were stained.At this moment, Changing Gong Yangyue didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing his memorization of chess.

Only Yan Chuihong whispered casually: "You can't just use your eyes to see people."

"Patriarch, what are you talking about?" Yan Yi was puzzled, and glanced at his wife, who also shook her head silently. Looking at the situation on the chessboard, she thought that the old man was playing tricks and avenging Gong Yangyue for disturbing others just now. Immediately my heart ached.Meng Wanzhi was at the side, seeing her husband getting carried away, she tugged at her sleeves and stared back at his happy expression.

Yan Chuihong had no airs, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup for Gongyangyue himself: "Because people change."

As long as the young chess servant who has been reminded accepts it humbly, even if his chess skills will not improve by leaps and bounds, he will not miss too many shots at the same place again.Playing chess with a clear eye, Chao Chen can easily win again, but with blind eyes——

He will panic.

When he finds out that his opponent has made up for the gaps in the past, he even thinks about changing when he is in pain, and changes his game drastically. As a challenger, he is most afraid that the Yan family has hidden killers. The more worried, the more uneasy, the more uneasy, the more disadvantaged.

Gong Yangyue looked at Chao Chen's holding hand, and found that it was shaking slightly at some point.He couldn't help but think of the story Chao Chen told yesterday in the bamboo building. For a boy who only learned chess at the age of 14, his sleepless nights and meals certainly showed his tenacity and never looked back, but it also showed that he was very strong.

It took a few years to win over more than ten years, that kind of ambition, so strong and indomitable, once it failed, it would be a fatal blow.

In the battle of victory and defeat, it is often not to lose to the opponent, but to lose to oneself.

The chess piece "叮咚——" fell, Chao Chen took off the black cloth, and surrendered. Until now, he still doesn't understand why he lost in a daze.

"Gao Ming." Gong Yangyue choked out two words.

Yan Chuihong tapped the table lightly, making him look at him, repeating what he said just now: "Young man, do you understand what I said—people will change."

People are subject to change. If the evil heart falls into the devil's way, the prodigal son can turn back.

Everything is just a thought.

"Life is like playing chess."

Gong Yangyue first laughed lowly, then laughed loudly, then got up, and solemnly clasped her fists at Yan Chuihong: "Patriarch Yan, I am here to teach you!" This sudden movement startled both Yan Yi and Chao Chen, the former was He suspected that he was playing tricks, but the latter was simply shocked. After all, there are not many people in this world who can make this guy bow his head.

Yan Chuihong pushed away the little table, and asked Meng Wanzhi to prepare a meal, but she wanted to walk around.Yan Yi looked straight, and when he turned his head, he had already walked out of the room. He was carrying winter clothes and a stove, and hurriedly left the two people in the room behind, and rushed up, but stopped in front of the threshold.

Under the sun, the sick and bloodless old man revived his spirits, held rings in both hands, swung his fists and feet, and practiced several moves in one breath.

"In this way, I have to add two dishes to my father-in-law today." Meng Wanzhi also beamed with joy.

Yan Yi's face softened a lot, even though Chao Chen and Gong Yangyue had been around, they no longer confronted each other, but for the sake of the past, they were still a little cold: "Let's eat together."

After one win and one loss, Chao Chen was depressed, he had no appetite, and barely touched the food, but Gong Yangyue was in a good mood, and he ate two big bowls in front of him, and he was very satisfied.

After a short nap, the third game started.

This game is a double game.
