The beautiful Rongcheng is separated into two parts by a Qingjiang River, along the Qingjiang River, it is a more prosperous part of Rongcheng, and the riverside road built along the river has always been full of traffic, just like the water in the Qingjiang River, the river is endless.

In the urban area of Rongcheng, there are 11 reinforced concrete bridges across the Qingjiang River, which reconnect the two sides of the river, and these bridges are the traffic hub of Rongcheng, and the daily traffic flow on each bridge is very large.

But there are exceptions, one of the bridges is always deserted, and on the two-way four-lane deck, there are only a handful of cars passing through it every day.

Zeng Yi was in this strange place at this time, after returning to Rongcheng from the capital, he went directly from the airport to here, when the car turned from Jiangbin Road to the bridge, it would make people have an illusion, it felt like they were in another city, but looking back, the vehicles and pedestrians on Jiangbin Road behind him were still rubbing shoulders.

This is the place where the Qingjiang River changes direction, and the Qingjiang River turns out a big arc here, so within the arc, a prominent place is formed.

On top of this prominent place, there is an ancient building in all directions, very eye-catching, called the pillow river building, built a thousand years ago, after many repairs, it still stands by the river, looking to guard the water of the Qingjiang River. Pillow River Tower is surrounded by a park, which is shaded by green trees, winding paths are secluded, Pillow River Tower is located in the center of the park, is the first choice for the people of Rongcheng City to enjoy the river and water.

Since it is a park, the flow of people will not be less, and the reason why those cars are reluctant to come here is because the road on this side of the river is a circular road, you can't go anywhere after you come in, go around, and have to return the same way, people who live in Rongcheng, have been to the pillow river building, and have seen this strange road before There are people who have raised opinions, thinking that this circular road is too unreasonable to design, the utilization rate is too low, it is a great waste of road resources, but the opinions are opinions, this road is still untouched for decades to remain unchanged, Over time, the people of Rongcheng got used to it.

Xu Li parked the car at the gate of the park, and Zeng Yi pushed the door and walked down, signaling that Xu Li didn't have to follow him anymore.

Entering the park, Zeng Yi walked through the bamboo forest and a lotus pond appeared, and a corridor built on the water surface zigzagged to the center of the lotus pond.

There is an octagonal pavilion in the center of the lotus pond, at this time there are more than ten people sitting in it, there are those who enjoy the coolness, there are those who chat, there is a stone table in the center of the hall, there are two old men who are playing chess on the stone table, and there are five or six people watching chess standing next to them, pointing and pointing from time to time, kindly reminding them and expressing their own opinions.

Zhang Jiexiong was standing at the edge of the gazebo at this time, paying attention to the movement inside, and at the same time, he was also vigilantly paying attention to everything around him, on the curved corridor, there were five or six people standing, some were taking pictures, some were fishing, some were talking on the phone, but if you look closely, you will find that these people inadvertently flow out of the fierce air.

Seeing Zeng Yi coming over, Zhang Jiexiong led slightly, and said hello.

Zeng Yi also nodded, entered the pavilion, and then stood by the stone table, acting as a spectator watching chess.

"Will!" At this time, Boss Zhai shouted "Che" and directly attacked the opponent's bottom grid, and laughed: "The overall situation has been decided!" ”

The old man on the opposite side stared at the chessboard for a long time, and finally sighed, it seems that he has no skills to return to the sky, and the people around him who are watching chess can't help but shake their heads.

"I am willing to lose the bet, and bring the chips!" Zhai Lao's big hand was directly stretched out in front of the other party.

There was an old-fashioned yang hat on the stone table, and the old man opposite picked up the hat, handed the last egg inside to Zhai Lao's hand, and then put the hat on his head, stood up and said, "No, no, it's three eggs today!" ”

Zhai Lao smiled and put the eggs away, put them in a basket at his feet, and said, "Old Liutou, will you come tomorrow?" ”

For half a month, Lao Liu Tou brought three eggs to the park every day to play chess with Zhai Lao, so far he has never seen a retrospective egg, he feels sorry for his eggs, but it is rare to meet Zhai Lao such a chess master, his hand is very itchy, think about it, or say: "Come on!" ”

"I collect your eggs every day, I'm embarrassed to collect them!" Zhai Lao laughed, "Eat eggs all the time, the little nanny at home is hurt!" ”

Lao Liu blew his beard and said, "I'm going to win you tomorrow, I've figured out your way!" ”

"It's not that I'm talking big, just old Liu, you stinky level, if you bring a few eggs, I'll let you eat a few eggs in a row!" Zhai Lao laughed and began to rearrange the chessboard, and said, "Come on, come on, who else will play?" I'm going to have an egg feast in the evening, and I'm still a few left! ”

As he spoke, Zhai Lao looked up at those who were watching the chess, and this time, he saw Zeng Yi.

"I'm coming!" Some people watching chess immediately said that they wanted to participate in the war, and when Lao Liu Tou gave up his position, he couldn't wait to sit down, and like Lao Liu Tou, he also put down a hat on the table, which was also filled with three eggs, and said: "Come really today, Lao Zhai Tou, you don't have to let me have a horse!" ”

"Don't let me play anymore!" Zhai Lao stood up with a smile, clapped his hands, and said, "I have to go back, tomorrow!" ”

"Old Zhaitou, I brought all these eggs!" The man refused to give up, and it was easy for Old Man Liu to vacate his place, and now it's his turn to enjoy himself, how can he not play, "Old Man Zhai, you won't want to run away if you win the egg!" This is not good, we have to give everyone a chance! ”

Zhai Lao smiled, pointed at Zeng Yi, and said, "It's too easy to win your eggs!" See, the real master is here, I'll go home with the master! ”

The people in the pavilion were familiar with Zhai Lao, so they asked, "Old Zhai Tou, who is this young man?" ”

Zhai Lao smiled faintly and said, "It's my grandson!" How about it, a table of talents! ”

Zhang Jiexiong listened carefully, and he found that when Zhai Lao said this, his face was still a little proud, which made Zhang Jiexiong surprised in his heart, Zhai Lao didn't seem to be joking, this was not taking Zeng Yi as an outsider!

Everyone laughed and said, "Your grandson is good-looking, barely a talent, but no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a person who can play chess!" ”

"You guys just rejoice, if my Xiaoyi ends, a few of you will open a chicken farm and raise a thousand old hens, which is not enough to lose!" Zhai Lao laughed, put his hands behind his back and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go home, you guys will continue to play, and I'll come back tomorrow!" ”

Everyone is just joking, people's grandchildren come to visit, can they really not let people go! To be honest, everyone is still a little envious in their hearts, the old man Zhai is called to live a good life and look at himself, his sons and grandchildren are busy making money, and they may not be able to see each other all year round, and there is no one to talk to at home, otherwise he would not have to go to the park to play chess and walk birds, and chat with outsiders to relieve boredom.

Zhai Lao walked forward with a smile, and Zeng Yi carried Zhai Lao's basket in the back, which contained seven or eight eggs, which were the trophies captured by Zhai Lao today. As for the loot, Zhai Lao still retains the old tradition of the past, whatever is eaten in his mouth, he will never spit it out, even if it is just an egg, as long as it is a trophy, it must be brought back.

As soon as the two left, the plainclothes that had been hovering around the pavilion just now disappeared.

Zhai Lao did not leave the park. Instead, they walked deeper into the park, and through a grove of trees, there was a small circular arch on the wall of the park, on which was hung a sign: "Visitors stop! ”。 There was a small guard box next to the door, which was guarded by two sturdy men with red armbands of "Park Ranger" on their arms.

Passing through this small arch, there is still a small garden inside, turning around, passing through several gates, and finally coming to an iron gate, standing at the door, is a guard in military uniform, with a gun magazine on his waist, seeing Zhai Lao, the guard stands up and salutes.

Even the citizens of Rongcheng who come to the park every day for a walk, many people don't know that there is such a place in the depths of the park. This is the sanatorium of the Grand Military Region, built for decades, a bit like the Yulong Villa in Nanjiang Province, which is only used to receive the chief of the army in peacetime, and the environment inside is beautiful and the ancient trees are towering. Separated by a wall, there is the most suitable place to view the Qingjiang River, which is a good place to take a quiet place.

It is precisely because of the existence of this sanatorium that there is that strange circular path outside, which is not a flaw in the design, but deliberately designed that way, so as not to let people come and disturb the purity here. In the nursing home, there are actually multiple exits that lead directly to the bustling area, and if connected, the roundabout can immediately become a busy transportation hub, but for safety reasons, these exits are usually closed and only used in emergencies.

After Zhai Lao arrived in Nanjiang, he first went to Nanyun County, and then he has been living here, and now he has fully adapted to the life here, and he also met a large group of old buddies who play chess and walk birds in the park, which is completely different from his living conditions in the capital.

"Sit! Sit! ”

When Zhai Lao entered the house, he walked directly to his recliner and sat in it to rest.

Zhang Jiexiong went inside to serve tea, while Zeng Yi took the basket and wanted to put away the eggs inside. On the cabinet against the wall of the room, three small baskets were placed side by side, and Zeng Yi put the eggs into the small baskets one by one.

Zhai Lao's chess level is very powerful, every day he goes out to play chess with others, a game of eggs in the lottery, can always win about 20 a day, and then put it in these three small baskets, and when it is full, let people send it to a nearby primary school, saying that it is to give the children an extra breakfast. There is old music, which is now a joy in Zhai Lao's life.

After putting the eggs away, Zeng Yi sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting with Zhai Lao, and asking about some conditions in Zhai Lao's life and body.

After asking this, Zeng Yi said: "Haohui is about to leave the army, and I went to the capital in the past two days. ”

Zhai Lao led the way slightly, this matter was set by him, all the descendants of the Zhai family had to get off the army and go to the battlefield, this is an iron-clad rule in the Zhai family, and if you want to carry the gun of the Zhai family, you can't be an exception.

"Haohui's current physical state, there is no problem with the troops!" Zeng Yi said that in fact, it was after he came to this conclusion that Zhai Lao decided to let Zhai Haohui go down, and now it is just to confirm it again, so that Zhai Lao can rest assured.

Zhai Lao said: "I always think that it is good for him to suffer a little!" ”

"It's just that there's a new situation!" Zeng Yi looked at Zhai Lao and said, "After thinking about it, I still decided to tell Zhai Lao." ”

Elder Zhai raised his eyes and asked, "Tell me, what's the situation?" Although the expression on his face remained unchanged, Zhai Lao's heart still raised a little, the heart Dao couldn't be what happened to Haohui's body, right?

"During Haohui's work in the General Staff, he has been dating a girl named Xiaoxiao, do you know about this, Zhai Lao?" Zeng Yi asked.

Zhai Lao sighed, and then picked up the teacup, which was a positive response to Zeng Yi's question.

Zhang Jiexiong, who was standing on the side, raised his eyelids slightly at this time, glanced at Zeng Yi, and then put his eyelids down again, saying in his heart Zeng Yi is usually very smart, why is he confused today, how can he take the initiative to mention this matter!

Behind Zhai Haohui, he was accompanied by guards, no matter what he did, it was difficult to escape the third pair of eyes, Zhang Jiexiong had known about Xiaoxiao for a long time, but he never took the initiative to talk about it to Zhai Lao! Because after all, this belongs to Zhai Haohui's hidden sī, to put it mildly, this is the Zhai family's own family affairs, even as Zhai Lao's henchman, Zhang Jiexiong is also aware of his identity as an outsider, and it is not convenient for him to intervene.

It's just that when Zhai Lao asked about this situation, Zhang Jiexiong briefly mentioned it, so Zhai Lao knew about it, but he only knew that there was a person who laughed at it, and he didn't know the details.

At present, Zeng Yi took the initiative to mention it, which made Zhang Jiexiong's heart sweat for Zeng Yi.

It is true that Zhai Lao likes Zeng Yi very much, just now, Zhai Lao joked that Zeng Yi was his grandson in front of everyone, but, one yard is one yard, Zhai Lao can not treat you as an outsider, but you have to know your own weight, put it in this matter, especially about Zhai Lao's own grandson, how can Zhai Lao distinguish between inside and outside?

If one is not good, it will be self-defeating.

"I went to the capital this time, and I saw Xiaoxiao!" Zeng Yi approached Zhai Lao at this time and said, "Looking at her qi and demeanor, it should be there!" ”

Although the voice was low, Zhang Jiexiong still heard it, and he was shocked at the time, he didn't know about it!

The expression on Zhai Lao's face remained the same, he put down the teacup and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Zeng Yi nodded and said, "I don't dare to joke about this kind of thing!" Is there or not, from the point of view of the gas, it is still easy to distinguish! ”

Zhai Lao's eyebrows sank, and he sat in the recliner and remained still, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Jiexiong disappeared from the living room silently at this time, at this time, he knew that he should choose to avoid, and the next thing was probably not what he should listen to, nor could he interfere with.

After a while, Zhai Lao asked, "Does Haohui know about this?" ”

Zeng Yi shook his head and said, "It's not so obvious, I saw some clues myself, but Haohui shouldn't know yet!" ”！。
