Chapter 102: Ten Years of Chess
Came to the manor of Old Man Song, Song's father and Song's mother were waiting for the two of them at the door early, and when they saw the appearance of the two, they walked forward enthusiastically, greeted them and said, "Huang Xie, you are finally here." ”
Huang Xie looked at Song's father and Song's mother, and asked, "Uncle and aunt, what are you?"
"Don't say more, Old Man Song, he has to see you!" Father Song patted Huang Xie on the shoulder and said slowly.
Huang Xie blinked, a little puzzled: "What is Grandpa Song looking for me?"
"He said that only you can solve this matter!" Father Song said earnestly.
Huang Xie looked at Song Tingcheng, Song Tingcheng shrugged his shoulders, didn't say anything, but chatted with his mother there.
Huang Xie had no choice but to walk silently towards the backyard by himself, and he had learned before that Old Man Song generally liked to sit in the gazebo in the backyard.
As soon as he came to the backyard, Huang Xie saw that Old Man Song was already sitting in the gazebo, with a game of chess and freshly brewed tea on the table, seemingly waiting for him.
"Grandpa Song!" Huang Xie shouted, and then walked over slowly.
"Xiao Huang is here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Old Man Song poured a cup of tea, put it on the opposite side, and said with a smile.
Bypassing the artificial lake, Huang Xie came to the pavilion and sat down, sat down opposite Grandpa Song, blew on the tea, and said casually: "You first or me first?"
Old Man Song scolded with a smile: "I'm the oldest, you should let the old man drop no matter what!"
"Grandpa Song, you are relying on the old and selling the old!" Huang Xie said, jumping off the horse casually.
So the two chatted happily with each other in such a game of chess.
After a long time, a game of chess has come to an end, and Huang Xie's side on the chessboard has already used a cannon and a rook to generalize Old Man Song's army, and Old Man Song can only take less than six steps at present, if you don't want to be embarrassed, Old Man Song can still walk ten steps......
"Ahem, Grandpa Song, you can't play tricks this time, this chess is all Grandpa Song, you lose!" Huang Xie coughed dryly and said slowly, wanting Old Man Song to admit defeat.
Old Man Song looked at the chessboard for a long time, then sighed slowly, waved his hand and said: "Now that people are old, they are no longer as good as you young people, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves! You won!"
After speaking, Old Man Song glared at Huang Xie and said, "I said, why do you have the same virtue as your master? Playing chess will not let me, an old man!"
Huang Xie coughed dryly, where on the chessboard is there anything to say, if you let it, it will be disrespectful to the opponent!
"Grandpa Song, you can't say this like this, if you want me to let it, you can't do it at all!"
Old Man Song waved his hand casually and said, "Don't talk about it, every time I play chess with you, I lose, I am really young!"
Huang Xie took a sip of tea slowly, and suddenly said, "Grandpa Song didn't simply play chess and drink tea with me, right?"
"Hehe! I didn't expect to be seen?" said Grandpa Song with a smile.
Huang Xie smiled and said nothing, waiting for Old Man Song's words.
Old Man Song also took a sip of tea slowly, then leaned on the stone bench behind him, and said, "Tomorrow is my 80th birthday, you already know, right?"
"Yes. Huang Xie nodded silently.
"Yesterday, someone from the Lin family called me, I have to come to participate in my 80th birthday!" Old Man Song said slowly, "But you also know that I didn't plan to invite them from the Lin family from the beginning, but they knew that they had to come, you say, is there a ghost?"
Huang Xie listened, thought for a while, and then looked at Old Man Song and said: "Grandpa Song, there must be fraud in this, but I don't think they will be too blatant, after all, the people who came are all well-known people in City A, and it is impossible for him to do anything else in front of so many people alone!"
Old Man Song nodded, acknowledging Huang Xie's opinion, and then said, "I think so too, so I agree with him, but I just have an ominous premonition, I feel that things are not so simple!"
Huang Xie patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, with me, I'm not afraid of any tricks he has!"
"Hehe, you and your master are a virtuous person, not afraid of heaven and earth. Old Man Song said with a smile.
Huang Xie smiled, and then asked, "Grandpa Song, how long have you known my master?"
After hearing this, Old Man Song frowned, fell into a memory, and said after a long time: "It has been about sixty years since I first met your master! I met your master when I was twenty years old, and your master was about the same age as you at the beginning. ”
Huang Xie listened to it and asked with some gossip: "Grandpa Song, talk to me." ”
"There are too many stories, I won't tell them one by one, when I and a bunch of dignitaries were tied up the mountain by a group of bandits, it was your master who saved all of us. Old Man Song fanned his fan and said slowly, "At that time, I admired your master very much, and I insisted on learning martial arts from your master and being a hero." ”
Speaking of this, Old Man Song deliberately sold a pass, looked at Huang Xie and asked, "Do you know what happened later?"
"How's it going?" Huang Xie hurriedly asked.
Old Man Song pointed to the chessboard on the table and said, "Your master saw that I was a champion at the beginning, so he said that he would decide by playing chess, and if I won, he would teach me." ”
"And then?" Huang Xie seemed to have guessed the result.
"Then?" Old Man Song smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and said, "I played chess with your master there with confidence because your master was good at punching and kicking. After a pause, Old Man Song looked up at the sky and said, "At that time, I was also in the pavilion, it was raining outside, and I had been working with your master all day, I remember clearly, fifty games of chess, I lost them all!"
Sighing, he said a little tiredly: "That was the worst time I lost, I think I am erudite, your master can't beat me, but I didn't expect your master's chess skills to be better than me, and all my steps were seen through by him." ”
Speaking of this, Old Man Song smiled a little happily: "Just that time, I have given up learning martial arts from your master, but instead chased your master to play chess every day!"
As he spoke, he looked at the chessboard, reached out and stroked the chessboard, and said, "This time, it will be ten years! Until finally, when I got married, I didn't continue to play chess with your master because of my family's affairs, and I kept in correspondence. ”
Looking at Song Chengcheng, who was chatting with Song's mother in the room, Old Man Song said, "When Chengcheng was about five years old, I sent Chengcheng to your master's sect to see if I could learn something." ”
Then he looked at Huang Xie and said with a smile: "It was at that time that I made a marriage contract with your master. ”
"I feel...... Your experience can be a movie or a novel!" After hearing this, Huang Xie was a little touched, he didn't expect that Old Man Song and his master had so many origins.
"Hahaha!" Old Man Song listened to Huang Xie's words, laughed, and then patted Huang Xie on the shoulder and said, "Guess what, in the past ten years, have I ever won a game against your master?"
"No!" said Huang Xie firmly, for he had never won against his master.
Old Man Song snorted and said, "No, I have won a game in the past ten years, and I played a whole day with your master in that game!"
"One day, your old man is really hard enough!" Huang Xie's eyelids jumped wildly, and Old Man Song was really young and vigorous on the spot!
Old Man Song was obviously extremely proud, and said: "You don't know how happy and proud I was at that time, I was about to fly into the sky." ”
After a while, Old Man Song sighed: "But that is also the only time in my life that I have won against your master!"
"Don't worry, I believe you will win my master again sooner or later!" Huang Xie said kindly, he admired the spirit of Old Man Song and the spirit of playing chess alone for ten years, which was respectable and warm.
"Look at me, this is more than an hour, and I'm almost asleep, my old man's body is no longer as good as you young people, go to sleep first!" Old man Song looked at the sky, it was already late, so he slowly got up and walked into the house.
Huang Xie looked at Old Man Song's back, looked at the chessboard placed on the gazebo, sighed slightly, and then slowly disappeared into the gazebo.
