Early the next morning, Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan got up on time, Zhao Ganti left after making breakfast, Lin Wan'er shook her head, and said that it was not necessary, in fact, she was afraid that she had made breakfast, and she was reluctant to leave when she saw the three of them.

Zhao Qian got on the ox cart with a familiar car, stretched out his hand and handed Lin Wan'er a cotton coat, and then gently drove the ox cart away and left the Lin family's courtyard.

Lin Wan'er sat in the carriage and did not look back, but extended her eyes to the sky, in that place, the morning star began to be very bright, gradually becoming blurred, a little bit of sunlight seeped out, the trees had already revealed new shoots, a few sparrows chattered non-stop, and the warmth began to spread from the ground. The morning is no longer cold, winter has left, and the Lin family has gone through another winter. The cold memories in the hearts of everyone in the Lin family began to melt, and the bone that had been blown through by the cold wind for five years was finally qualified to be taken into the warm room and baked.

Today, Lin Wan'er left Lanzhou, and tomorrow, Lin Wan'er will be able to get back all the things that the Lin family lost.

Under the bright sunshine, Lin Wan'er suddenly remembered the American drama she watched before the crossing, and there was a line "ing."

Zhao Qian sat on the ox cart, waving the whip in his hand, he was very proud, and he was humming a tune he made up nonsense: "I was sold into your house at the age of three, I accompanied you to study at the age of four, washed your laundry at the age of five, cooked for you at the age of six, helped you do your homework at the age of seven, and carried the black pot for you at the age of eight......"

Lin Wan'er looked at Zhao Gan's back, a smile floated up from her face, and said to Zhao Gan's back: "Thank you!" ”

Zhao Qian was puzzled, turned around and forgot Lin Wan'er, and asked, "Thank you for what?" ”

Lin Wan'er: "Yiqiē." ”

Zhao Gan's self-confidence was bursting, he turned his head, and said seriously: "Haha, you really should thank me, do you want to think if I didn't find it, maybe I ...... it now."

Zhao Qian may have been too indulged in self-boasting, and almost drove the ox cart into the ditch, but Lin Wan'er desperately pulled the reins so that she could not "die before leaving the school".

The two of them went out of Lanzhou according to the map, and at first Lin Wan'er and Zhao Qian were a little unsure whether this map on paper would be able to bring them to their destination, and after walking for a while, the two of them were very settled. Lin Wan'er's map drawn at home is still relatively accurate.

The first stop is a village, the name is Yangzhuang, the whole village is surnamed Yang, it is an ancient village, the villagers raise silkworms up and down, it is the most famous village near Lanzhou that produces silkworm cocoons.

Lin Wan'er and Zhao Qian came to the outside of Yangzhuang, and there were two big lions erected outside the village. Lin Wan'er admired the stone lion, it was so big. Zhao Gan's head stretched out and said, "Generally, it is not half the size of the stone lion outside the Chen Zhuque Gate in Shangjing." ”

Lin Wan'er ignored Zhao Qian, got off the ox cart, and walked into Yangzhuang.

Yangzhuang is a big village, the folk customs are simple, the air in the countryside is very fresh, the villagers walk in the village, busy and busy, do not stop.

When Lin Wan'er and Zhao Qian met someone, they asked, "Is there a silkworm cocoon at home?" ”

The villager nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Lin Wan'er and Zhao Qian were overjoyed, they didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and hurriedly asked, "Can you buy some?" ”

The villager shook his head and said, "The silkworm cocoons should be delivered to the Lin family in Lanzhou, and they cannot be taken out." It is sold to the Lin family every year, and you must be sincere, and this year is no exception. ”

Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan looked at each other, and Zhao Gan said, "We can add some silver money to buy it." ”

The villagers shook their heads and left with a smile, as if they had heard some joke, and the two of them thought that they could just add some silver taels? It's funny, and silver is not everything.

Lin Wan'er was indignant and said to Zhao Gan: "Is there such a thing in the world? The Lin family pushed the price of silkworm cocoons so low, and this group of villagers still thought about the Lin family, which made people feel annoyed. ”

Zhao Qian comforted Lin Wan'er and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, let's take a look first." ”

The two walked from the east of the village to the west of the village, and asked when they met, but none of the villagers sold the cocoons to Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er was a little discouraged, the map was drawn, the capital was ready, and she left the small courtyard ruthlessly, letting the three of Dabao take care of herself.

When the two arrived at the west of the village, they saw a group of old men gathered together, and there were often sighs and admiration.

Zhao Qian stepped forward, this group of old people were playing chess, the two sides were playing chess, and they were very happy, but one of the old men with white hair seemed to have lost the upper hand, constantly brushing his beard, shaking his head and sighing.

Lin Wan'er pulled Zhao Qian and said, "Let's go, let's get down to business first." ”

Zhao Qian attached himself to Lin Wan'er's ear and whispered, Lin Wan'er said with some doubts: "You can play chess?" ”

Zhao Qian snorted and said, "This son claims to be the second hand of Da Wei, and no one dares to say that he is the first. ”

Lin Wan'er said: "You go, I'll go to other people's houses and ask." Then he departed.

Zhao Qian instructed to "be careful", and then blended into a group of old men without a trace, first sighed with everyone, watched the chess without saying a word, and then whispered to an old man beside him, and in the end, the voice was all exaggerated and said: "Six on the car." ”

Everyone was shocked, and followed Zhao Gan's train of thought to "six in the car", and indeed solved the siege.

But one of the old men said: "Watching chess is silent, what a gentleman." ”

Zhao Qian looked like a scoundrel and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not a gentleman." ”

The old man's face was displeased, he stood up, and said, "Old decay Yang Xifeng, dare to ask the name of the son." ”

Zhao Qian arched his hand and said, "Zhao Qian." ”

Yang Xifeng was very displeased with Zhao Gan's prodigal appearance, and said: "Look at the son, he is also a master, I don't know if he can play a game with the old decay?" ”

Zhao Qian was not polite, sat on the other side of the chessboard, set the chessboard with his hand, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.

An old man and a young man are killed on the chessboard, Yang Xifeng is older, four generations are in the same house, and there is nothing to do at ordinary times, he loves chess the most, and his sense of victory and defeat is also stronger.

Zhao Qian was careless, still swaying with his legs crossed.

At first, it was a game of chess between Zhao Qian and Yang Xifeng, and later it was Zhao Qian who played chess with a group of old men.

"Handsome does not leave the palace gate, strategizes, wins thousands of miles, sits in the army, and has thousands of ravines in his chest. Young people should be modest and not impetuous and exaggerated. "Yang Xifeng.

"The soldier walks the diagonal line, often accompanies the monarch around, can you know that suffocation is said, blocking the military commander? The elderly should be calm, less liver-fired, and don't rely on the old to sell the old, so as to make a fool of themselves. "Zhao Qian.

"The car goes in a straight line, pours thousands of miles, soars through the clouds, and is fearless, but young people should not be arrogant and miss life." Yang Xifeng.

"The horse walks the day, the whereabouts are secretive, and the killing is invisible, but you should be cautious, as everyone knows, there is a chess card position, it is difficult to move, and the elderly should be calm and calm, and cultivate themselves." Zhao Qian.

The two started from the chessboard, and later came to Cheng Dù, who had a verbal fight. Zhao Qian and Lin Wan'er have been together for a long time, and their verbal skills have also improved, so they are naturally not afraid of this group of old men.

Lin Wan'er walked around the village, but she didn't find a seller, and she went back and forth from Zhao Gan and the others several times, only hearing Zhao Gan's voice coming out, and she didn't see why.

At noon, Lin Wan'er sat on the ox cart, with one hand on her brow to block the sun, eating the pears that Zhao Qian bought from the city of Lanzhou, and glancing at Zhao Gan's direction from time to time, not knowing what the other party was doing.

With a "hula", a group of people exploded, and Zhao Qian seemed to have a conflict with Yang Xifeng.

Lin Wan'er hurriedly ran over, complaining a little in her heart that Zhao Gan didn't buy any silkworm cocoons, and first offended the villagers.

Zhao Qian pinched his waist with one hand and said in an unkind tone: "Since you want to gamble, you will bet on some big ones." If I win, I will collect all the cocoons in this Yangzhuang, and if I lose, I will compensate 1,000 taels of silver. ”

Yang Xifeng was also aroused to be competitive, patted his hands on each other, and shouted: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

Lin Wan'er pulled Zhao Gan to her side and complained: "You are crazy, do you know that these old men are chess masters, and if you lose carelessly, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Zhao Qian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, no problem." ”

Lin Wan'er waved her small fist in front of Zhao Gan and said viciously: "If you lose, I will sell you." ”

The two sides set up the chessboard and sit opposite each other.

Zhao Gan jumped his horse, Yang Xifeng walked the car, Zhao Qian walked the cannon, Yang Xifeng drove the car, Zhao Qian arched the pawn, Yang Xifeng drove the car, only to see the car cross the Chu River Han border from the chessboard side, and drove straight into the hinterland of Zhao Gan.

"Ahh Lin Wan'er exclaimed, shaking Zhao Gan's shoulders while shouting: "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's lost, it's lost, the opponent's chess pieces have all run over." ”

Lin Wan'er is a chess idiot, and when she saw the chess pieces coming, she thought she was about to lose, and panicked.

Everyone raised their heads and stared at Lin Wan'er, as if they saw a monster, an ordinary car, how could the other party react so much.

Lin Wan'er also discovered her gaffe, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you lose?" ”

Zhao Gan's head was dizzy and explained: "I didn't lose, but I was about to win." Stand behind you and take a good look. ”

Yang Xifeng snorted coldly, full of disdain.

Zhao Qian and Yang Xifeng's chess strength is equal, but Zhao Gan's mind is lively, and he does not follow the routine when playing chess, although his chess pieces were killed, but there are still two pawns who quietly killed the past, and then approached the opponent's old marshal without a trace, and used the opponent's "shi" to suffocate the old marshal in the camp.

Yang Xifeng shook his head and sighed bitterly, threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and said in his mouth: "Lost, lost." ”

Lin Wan'er realized it later, and suddenly cheered: "Win, win, win!" ”

Zhao Gan stood up and bowed his hand to Yang Xifeng: "I have conceded, and I hope that the old man will abide by the preface, and we will take away the silkworm cocoons in the village." ”

Yang Xifeng had a high prestige in the village, and whispered a few words to an old man beside him, who looked up at Zhao Gan, reluctantly returned to the village, and gave a few instructions from door to door.
