Zhang Xiaochen was walking on the road listening to the song with headphones, passing by the street, and saw a group of old people, surrounded by the other two elderly people sitting opposite, I don't know what they were looking at, Zhang Xiaochen was curious when he saw it, and walked up.

Seeing a game of chess in front of everyone, Zhang Xiaochen saw that there were more than a dozen red chess pieces on the chessboard, but there were only a few black chess, and at a glance black chess was a great weaker side.

Zhang Xiaochen doesn't know how to play chess, but she can tell the size of the chess pieces, the red side has more soldiers and fewer generals, and the black flag leaves all big chess, Zhang Xiaochen looks at it and thinks it's very interesting, the red side makes her think of polarization.

Zhang Xiaochen thought it was quite interesting to watch, she couldn't help but watch for a while, but Zhang Xiaochen found that the music in her headphones had already changed three or four songs, but the old people in front of her only moved four or five steps.

Zhang Xiaochen couldn't help muttering: "Why are you playing so slowly? In this way, you can't finish this game in two hours, it's too time-consuming." ”

The old man next to him heard it, and glanced at Zhang Xiaochen one after another, and then turned his head back to continue watching the chess game, one of them looked at the old man with a more kind face, and asked Zhang Xiaochen kindly: "Sister, do you also play chess?"

Zhang Xiaochen shook his head after hearing this, and then responded: "I don't know how to play chess, I can only distinguish the size, I just look at it and feel very interesting, the chess left on both sides of this game of chess feels not ordinary, I want to see who will lose and who will win, so I just watched it here for a while, and it turned out that it was so slow." ”

After hearing this, the old man smiled and said: "We old men, when we were children, lived a hard life, read few books, in addition to playing, there is only farm work, now that we are old, the work is not done, this chess will be from a young age, and I will play to pass the time, we all say that life is like chess, but what is life, I have lived for most of my life, and I have not understood." ”

Zhang Xiaochen was a little confused when he heard it, and he didn't know how to respond.

"It's about to take the college entrance examination, right? How's the result? Do you have a chance to be admitted to a prestigious university?"

"I'm not a college entrance examination student this year, I've been graduating from high school for two years, and my grades were okay before. Zhang Xiaochen responded to the old man's embarrassed but polite smile, and thought silently in his heart, if I am a college entrance examination candidate, how can I have time to watch you play chess here, and I would have gone to review obediently.

When the old man heard this, a surprised expression appeared on his face, but he quickly came back to his senses.

"It's good to be young, you can go anywhere when you're young, you don't have to have so many scruples, and young people are really free now. ”

Zhang Xiaochen listened to the old man's words, out of tune, not knowing how to respond to him, and then still smiled and didn't speak, and continued to watch the chess game.

"Sister, do you think this game of chess, will black win or red will win?"

Hearing the old man ask himself, Zhang Xiaochen looked at the chess game, then thought for a while, and said, "I think it should be the red chess to win, after all, there are so many more red chess pieces than black chess." ”

After hearing this, the old man's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Young people are really young people, everything is so simple, many things can't just look at the surface, since ancient times, so many wars, with less to win more countless, the main thing is to depend on you, how to go this way." ”

Before the old man finished speaking, one of the people in the chess game shouted a general, Zhang Xiaochen saw that it was the old man on the black chess side who shouted the general, which made Zhang Xiaochen feel shocked: No, I just said that red chess wins, is black going to announce victory so soon, and the slap in the face is too fast.
