Chapter 135: The Old Man Who Played Chess
On the weekend, my sister accompanied her parents, Li Yalian was also with them, Chen Shi and his cousin Wang Sheng went to see the things about the liar, it is said that the rat has figured out their details, and then just wait to see a good show, as for how the mouse wants to deal with others, Chen Shi doesn't know, and he doesn't ask, he is not even curious about it, he just has nothing to do, and accompanies his cousin Wang Sheng to go around a few times.
Early in the morning, the two of them didn't have to take care of the elderly in the hospital, so they came to the station early, and the mouse was already waiting there. When the two met the mouse, he was holding a fritter in one hand and soy milk in the other, eating a mouthful of fritters and drinking a mouthful of soy milk, looking like he was hungry.
He asked the two, "Have you eaten?"
Of course Chen Shi and his cousin Wang Sheng ate, they came from home, and they had an early breakfast with their families early in the morning, and the two replied at the same time that they had eaten, and the mouse looked inside the alley, and there was basically no one in it at this time, because the liars did not come early in the morning, and even if they came, no one cheated, and most of them would gradually come after nine o'clock.
Chen Shi asked, "Have you figured it out?"
The mouse chuckled: "There is one, it's just a small shrimp, this kind of small shrimp has a bit of power for the people, but it's not worth mentioning compared to the big people above, I think I can handle it, don't worry." ”
The rat assured that Chen Shi was at ease, so he squatted on the side of the road and looked into the alley.
There are very few people in the early morning, even the exit of the station is not a single figure, only a few sparse and sparse back and forth from the entrance of the station, some give people away, some enter the station, but there are not many, there are no vehicles on the street, only the rumble of the bus comes from afar, private cars have generally not driven out, and there are few taxis, this is a rare quiet time in the busy city.
The white-collar workers who go to work have not yet gotten up, only the elderly get up so early to exercise, it seems that everyone has to wait until the body is not so healthy to know the value of exercise, it seems that everyone has to wait for the loss of good things to know what is called cherishing, this may be the nature of people, obviously everyone knows that exercise is good, but when they are young, people love to sleep lazy, only when the body is wrong, when facing the threat of death, they will feel nervous.
The three of them waited on the street, Chen Shi squatted on the side of the road for a while, his feet were numb, he found a nearby bus stop to sit for a while, the station was about a hundred meters away from the mouse, because they couldn't see the situation in the alley at the station, so the mouse didn't come, and his cousin Wang Sheng didn't come, and the two of them were very concerned about this matter.
The mouse is dedicated, his cousin Wang Sheng wants to take a bad breath, and only Chen Shi is idle and bored. The grandparents in the hospital have parents to take care of, don't worry about him, there is Li Yalian at home, let alone him worry, even his parents have his sister to accompany him, if he is with them, it feels redundant, so he can only come out to play with the mouse for a day or two.
The bus is empty, only people who get up early can enjoy such an empty bus, so comfortable and spacious bus, it is better than a private car, the space is large, the breath is smooth, if it is too stuffy, you can also open the window to let in the fresh air. However, Chen Shi looked up, there was almost no one in the empty bus, after all, there were fewer people who got up early, people had a fixed time point when they went to work and got off work, no matter whether there were many people or few people after the point, they had to go, and when they didn't reach the point, no matter how comfortable or empty they didn't go, and it was difficult to change the habit after it was formed.
Humans are social animals, there are not many people who like to be alone, therefore, it is too early and there is no one, people know that a little earlier will be a little free, but no one likes to go out early, everyone has to enjoy a lazy nap at home, enjoy the morning before going out to work.
White-collar workers generally go to work at nine o'clock, and when they are in a hurry, most of them go out at around seven or eight o'clock, which happens to be the peak period for students to go to school. Before eight o'clock, there were pedestrians coming and going on the street, and the bus was also crowded with people, which formed a contrast with the previous emptiness, it was completely two days, and Chen Shi couldn't stay at the station, because the station was full of people and noisy, and he couldn't stand the sound of the vehicle, so he rushed to the side of the rats.
When he came, there were already people in the alley, and he asked the mouse, "Are you here?"
The mouse said, Chen Shi asked when to act, how to act, asked him what to do next? The mouse said: "We don't have to do anything, just wait here to watch the good show, and when the show starts in a while, I will call you, and I promise to make you watch it very refreshing." ”
Chen Shi didn't ask the rat what the show was, since he didn't say it, then just wait, anyway, the rat had already said it, and he would let them in today.
They waited until twelve o'clock at noon, and did not even go back to lunch, but bought a quick food on the side of the road, and then it was half past twelve that the rat came to inform them that the show was about to begin, and that they could go into the alley.
Chen Shi asked the mouse: "Aren't you afraid of startling the grass and snakes? If we go in, will we scare them away?"
The mouse smiled: "You underestimate them too much, they didn't leave immediately when they cheated money, and they also debunked the trick directly in front of you, they have no fear, even if you go in at this time, he won't treat you well, let alone run away, he may have forgotten you a long time ago." ”
Chen Shi nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case, and walked in. There are a lot of people in the alley, and the liar has already set up a chessboard on the ground, and he is shouting while talking about the rules, and some of the people passing by want to see the excitement, some want to make a profit, and some are curious and don't know what the other party is doing, so they form a circle.
Chen Shi and the others stood outside the circle, they didn't squeeze inside, first, because there were many people, and secondly, because they didn't want to attract the attention of the other party, after all, they were here to find fault.
Just as they arrived, an old man came leisurely, yelling for the crowd of onlookers to make way, and then crouched down in front of the chessboard to ask the liar rules. The liar who played chess did not say, but the one who was with him, who acted as a supporter, said: "If you play red chess first, you will be given two hundred if you win, and if you lose, you will be counted as a hundred, and you will win a draw." ”
The old man smiled and said, "Can I play black chess?"
The liar was stunned for a moment, and Tuo was even more stunned, he said: "Old man, you can see clearly, as long as the black chess moves one more move, it will be a dead chess, do you really want the black chess?"
The old man's face did not change, he nodded and said: "I just want to play black chess, and the draw is considered a red flag to win, if you don't dare to let me play black chess, then what's going on? Black chess is a chess game that must be won, you use the black chess chess that must be won against the red flag, what kind of chess game is this?"
The face of the liar who played chess changed slightly, and he felt that he was all seen by the old man, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down unconsciously, at this time he was already Qihu difficult, because the nearby crowd was watching, if he repented now, then his reputation would be gone, and others would naturally know that he was a liar, if the onlookers dispersed, his business would be gone, although he was not afraid of being known by others as a liar, but it had just opened at this time, and people like the old man were not outsiders at first glance, if they deceived outsiders, it didn't matter, outsiders said that you were a liar, but a local like the old man, if you provoked himHe can say that he can ruin your business every moment when he meets people here, so even a scammer has taboos.
The liar gritted his teeth, made a decision, and said: "It's okay for you to play black chess all the time, but I'll say it first, if you win a game, you can't continue to step on my plate, I rely on this ability to eat, if you want to come every day, I won't have anything to eat." ”
The old man smiled and nodded, and then the two began to play chess, the red chess went first, and every move was a general, because if he was not a general, the black chess could force him to death with one move, so the general would have to pay the price, because the black chess was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and every general of the red chess piece was eaten by him, so the chess pieces on the chessboard were getting fewer and fewer.
However, after four or five moves, black chess appeared passive, because red chess found an opportunity to stagger the old king, so that black chess could not force red chess to death in one step, the liar was overjoyed, this should not be like this, he put his own chess, studied hundreds of times, he thought that the old man saw the mystery of it, so he was ready to admit defeat once, lose the money on both sides to send the old man, did not expect the old man to just bluff, he was overjoyed.
The black chess piece fell into a dead place, the red flag was approaching step by step, and he was about to be checkmated, and the old man was also anxious. But whether he was in a hurry or not, he was sure to lose, because he missed a move to turn the tide.
This kind of chess game, black chess is a must-win chess game, but black chess has only one chance, if you miss this opportunity you will lose, although red chess is the first to play, every move is a general, look at the death of the fierce fierce, but every step is the process of pushing yourself to a dead end, the chess game of the liar, of course, is to cheat money, not for the real exchange of chess skills, therefore, the chess game is hidden in the secret moves, ruthless moves, so that outsiders will win when they see red chess, but the red flag does not even have a chance to draw.
The old man was in a dead position, and he was thinking about how to play, but the liar did not give him time, because he knew that it was a game of chess that would die, and outsiders also saw it, and they all said that he was going to lose. The liar also said: "Don't think about it, old man, you lost." This game of chess has to have chess products, and if you lose, you lose, it's not a big deal, isn't it just a hundred yuan? Just keep winning back. ”
The scammer began to cast a long line to catch a big fish, and he thought that the old man was a worthy target to be slaughtered, so he began to lure the old man to move on to the next game.
The old man thought for a moment, but he could only admit defeat by hanging his head, throwing away the chess pieces in his hand and sighing: "Isn't that right?
The liar rearranged the chess game and said: "Black chess can be played at most, old man, you should play red chess! Red chess can win, you see how I played just now, this time you are also scared, guarantee that you can win back." ”
The old man was tempted, gave a hundred yuan to the other party, took out another hundred yuan and said, "Okay, I'll play red chess." ”
But the liar shook his head this time and said: "Old man, you have already seen me play red chess just now, and now if you want to continue playing, you must double it, because I don't know if you remember the process of my play just now, if you do, then wouldn't I waste my money in vain? So, this time for two hundred, we will bet on your memory just now, if you are lucky enough to remember, then I will admit defeat and give you four hundred, if you don't remember, then this time I will lose two hundred to me, let's talk about it first, everything must be clear, how about it?"
The old man said okay, at this time he was bent on winning back the money he had just lost, so his thinking was all swayed by the liar, and the liar's childcare was also fanning the flames on the side, and said that he almost won before, but it was a pity, now there is no money, otherwise he will turn the tables, etc., the liar naturally cooperated with him and said, the two sang and harmonized, so that the onlookers instantly believed what they said, and the old man believed that they were just playing chess, not designed to frame him.
The old man played red chess, first took out two hundred yuan as collateral, and then the general. Red's first move must be a general, and every move must not leave the general, otherwise as long as black seizes the opportunity, black will be an army, and red will die. The old man may have been in a hurry, or perhaps he had recalled the steps of the liar chess before, so his hand trembled a little when he played chess, and besides, every move he made looked extremely ferocious, but this offensive would have to dry up sooner or later, because the general of the Red Banner was at the expense of the chess pieces.
Seeing the old man play like this, the crook with the black chess became happy, the old man took one step, he ate a chess piece, so after four or five moves, the red chess fell into a dead end, because the general's chess pieces were all used up, and now the only thing he could do was the pawn, but as long as he took the pawn, the black chess piece gasped, and then the black chess general was finished with an army.
Of course, the old man also saw it, but he was really inexplicable, he felt that it was too fast, and he felt that it was different from before, how could he lose the red flag and black chess by himself?
The liar was urging him: "Old man, it seems that you have a bad memory, you didn't remember the steps I just made, otherwise you won, it's a pity this time, you have no regrets, you still admit defeat, right?"
The old man felt like he had been stabbed in his heart, and he couldn't admit defeat, but it was too embarrassing to admit defeat.
The old man was still struggling, but his red flag had been checkmated and could not continue, so the liar took the chessboard and said: "You always have a bad memory, if you were a young man, you would have won a long time ago." ”
Nursery said on the side: "If I go down, I will definitely win, but it's a pity, I don't have the capital now, otherwise I will definitely turn over." ”
The liar laughed and said: "This chess game has been seen through by you, I won it just now, and this time it was because the old man put it again, so I can't put this broken chess game again, I only have to put a chess game." ”
The liar no longer continued the previous chess game, and the old man seemed to have broken his soul, but the liar tempted him again: "The old man can win it back, study this chess game carefully, or the same as before, the red flag goes first, and red chess is a must-win chess game, it depends on whether you can break the game." ”
