Zhu Youming's explanation from shallow to deep, not only made the amateur 7th section of the game Lao Mo nod frequently, a regretful expression, and the two Go enthusiasts who came to travel with him also occasionally interjected a few words, which benefited a lot, and Li Cheng, an uninvited guest, has not spoken, like an invisible person, but fortunately did not arouse the disgust of the other party, listening to this speech, Li Cheng also has a strong interest in Go in the real sense.

Now Li Cheng doesn't have much of anything, only the most time, Go literati and ink writers to cultivate sentiment, self-cultivation of a profound entertainment activity, Li Cheng has long admired this, but there is no opportunity to learn, this time can meet the Go people from China, how could Li Cheng miss it?

Therefore, after explaining the chess game, Li Cheng shamelessly asked: "Old Zhu, I am the owner of Grizzly Bear Ranch, my name is Li Cheng, and I welcome you to travel here, this is my honor." ”

"Hello, hello." No wonder everyone has some impression of this Chinese man, he doesn't want to cause more trouble when he goes out, he is so interested, and everyone has no intention of driving away, at this time, when I heard Li Cheng's self-introduction, it turned out that I had met the main owner, and others hurriedly came over to say hello.

"You're welcome, feel free, I'm just interested in Go, so I'm sorry to disturb your Yaxing, I don't know if Zhu Lao can give me some advice?" Li Cheng said with a little embarrassment, Zhu Youming is a professional nine-dan and has the title of chess saint, how can such a national player point out a rookie among beginners who doesn't even know the basic knowledge of Go? This is a bit of a self-depreciation.

With the psychological preparation of being rejected, Li Cheng was about to withdraw and leave. Zhu Youming, who is in his 60s, said kindly: "Xiao Li, you are so young, and you have such a big career, it is so rare to be interested in Go, I am a senior in the Go world, I am very happy to see the juniors after beginning to accept Go, love Go, just listen to your attentive expression, it can be seen that you are a person who really feels the charm of Go, although the chess strength may not be high now, but I believe that you will gradually improve." And. Young people learn things very quickly. ”

Zhu Youming's words surprised Li Cheng very much, and he only put forward the idea of asking Zhu Youming to give him some guidance on a whim, and he didn't really think that he would agree. I didn't expect Zhu Youming to be so generous. He is worthy of being a highly respected predecessor in the Go world.

Li Cheng's studious heart. Received Zhu Youming's praise, and under the careful guidance of a generation of chess saints, Li Chengcheng came to this shade every day. Let Professor Zhu Youming for 2 hours, three days later, when Zhu Youming was ready to leave the grizzly bear ranch and go to the next attraction, there was still a morning time, Li Cheng invited Zhu Youming to go to Grizzly Creek to fish, there are not only abundant wild sturgeon, but also many riverside fish, the water quality is clear, very suitable for the survival of freshwater fish.

Zhu Youming is also a fishing enthusiast, the relationship between the two has been run in for three days, Li Cheng has regarded Zhu Youming as a teacher of Go, only three days, Li Cheng has been able to complete the next game of chess, the layout is also decent, the ending is also quite stylish, inherited Zhu Youming's closing skills, of course, the current Li Cheng is only the initial ability to play Go, whether it is good or not, it still needs to be slowly explored, the so-called master leads into the door, and the practice depends on the individual.

Zhu Youming asked Li Cheng to put more chess scores in the future, and also gave him a book of Go experience he wrote, which also has a lot of chess scores, of course, the most important thing is the actual game, Zhu Youming also often plays a few games on the Internet, not to mention that Zhu Youming is quite fashionable, Li Cheng learned Zhu Youming's online screen name and contact information, and the two agreed to play at least one game of chess every day.

It can be seen that Zhu Youming has regarded Li Cheng as a student, Zhu Youming has a high reputation in the Go world, in addition to superb chess skills, he is extremely important to the younger generations, and also serves as the coach of the national team.

After preparing some fishing gear, the two came to Grizzly Bear Creek, and saw that the scenery here was picturesque, the stream was unusually calm, and the surrounding air was also very good, so Zhu Youming and Li Cheng began to fish.

Li Cheng had fished in the sea before, and he also fished a great white shark at that time, inland river fishing is obviously simpler and calmer than sea fishing, and it is more a test of patience, maybe there will be no harvest in the morning, but there is always a sense of expectation.

During the fishing, Li Cheng and Zhu Youming talked about a lot of anecdotes, and the thrilling battle for the title in the chess world mentioned by Zhu Youming also made Li Cheng feel that Go is not a pure competitive project that does not seem to have any waves, but in fact there are hidden mysteries.

After gaining a deeper understanding of a hobby, Li Cheng became more fond of Go, and he was glad that he met Zhu Youming, the mentor who led him to get started.

In these days, Zhu Youming, as an elder, has a lot of life experience, plus he is proficient in Go, and he has a lot of philosophical wisdom in life, so he has explored the changes in Li Cheng's heart, that is to say, he understands what concerns Li Cheng seems to have in his heart.

"Ah Cheng, do you have something on your mind? It is normal for a person to develop abroad and miss his family, and he can go back to China to see them in his spare time, and now that technology is developed, he can know the world without leaving home, and video chat can be carried out every day. Zhu Youming seemed to chat casually, but this sentence was full of pure teaching from the elders to the juniors.

Li Cheng shook his head, the fishing rod moved, and the fish that was supposed to be hooked was immediately scared away, and his mood was even worse.

"Zhu Lao, you are right, this is also what I often do, every day I will set a fixed time to video chat with my family, now the family is very good, I am very relieved, I will return to China during the New Year's holidays, no matter how busy and tired, the family can not be forgotten, in fact, I also moved the idea of immigrating my family to Canada, but my parents disagreed, not only because of the language barrier, but also because I am not used to life in Canada, and I am not worried about this, but, but ......"

Li Cheng looked a little hesitant, and Zhu Youming suddenly understood that it was not family affection, it was love, after all, love life was just those aspects.

"Could it be that you and your girlfriend are having an awkward relationship? She's in the country? Long-distance relationships aren't easy. Zhu Youming has an empathetic experience of long-distance relationships, and he used to like a girl, because of work, he often ran back and forth in the world, and his concern for her naturally declined, which led to a breakup, and then he found his current wife, who is also engaged in Go, so they know each other very well and wholeheartedly support Zhu Youming's Go career, and after returning home, husband and wife can play again, the so-called husband and wife sing with them.

Li Cheng shook his head again and said: "My girlfriend is a French-Canadian native, working in Calgary, is an expatriate reporter, and is very busy at work, no, now I have participated in the filming mission in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, and the back and forth makes me feel distressed, a few days ago when she didn't go to Brazil, I talked to her about marriage, and we have been together for a long time, and have experienced many things, I have fought side by side in the national forest before, and then to the Great Plains of East Africa, Everything made me very happy with my girlfriend and proposed to get married, but she didn't seem to be ready, so we had an awkward fight. ”

Zhu Youming didn't say much, but chose to be silent, the so-called Qing officials are difficult to decide family affairs, no matter how enlightened Zhu Youming is, it is better for Li Cheng to figure it out himself.

In fact, this matter is very simple, but Li Cheng thought about it complicated, so he had a heart disease.

A morning passed quickly, and Li Cheng harvested two sturgeons several catties in size, but Zhu Youming did not have one, which was not because Zhu Youming's fishing skills were poor, but because there were other reasons.

"Old Zhu, I see that your fishing rod has not been pulled once, it seems that you have not changed the bait, is it ......" Li Cheng said very curiously, because Zhu Youming is a respected senior, so Li Cheng did not rush to pull his fishing rod.

Zhu Youming nodded and said, "Your guess is very accurate, in fact, I used a straight hook." ”

"Straight hook fishing? Isn't this a wasted effort? ”

"Do you think I'm doing useless work? Do you remember Mrs. Jiang? Zhu Youming replied to the question, Li Cheng thought about it, nodded and said: "By the way, Jiang Ziya was fishing with a straight hook at that time!" ”

Legend has it that at the end of the Shang Dynasty, there was a white-haired old man fishing by a stream in the Weishui Valley. But his hook was straight, and he didn't have bait, and the hook was still hanging more than three feet above the water. While fishing, the old man said to himself, "I'd rather take it from the straight than ask for the song." Only fish for kings and princes, not for fish in the water. ”

This person is Jiang Shang, also known as "Jiang Taigong". One day, King Wen of Zhou passed by Weishui with his entourage, and saw that the old man who was fishing did not care at all about the passing of the group, and King Wen felt very strange, so he got out of the car and talked to him. In his conversation with Jiang Shang, King Wen of Zhou found that he was a far-sighted and knowledgeable person, and he was proficient in politics, economics, and military affairs. King Wen of Zhou then appointed him as the minister of state and assisted him in seizing the world. And the story of Jiang Taigong's fishing with a straight hook has spread.

Jiang Ziya, who was full of white hair and a chest-length beard, appeared in Li Cheng's mind, and in the episode of the old version of "Fengshen Bang", isn't there also a song "Straight Hook Fishing Leisurely"?

"In an instant, a hundred springs, summers, autumns and winters, 100,000 miles of water and mountains, hurried, hurried ......"

There are many theories about why Jiang Ziya should use a straight hook to fish, such as "selling fame and reputation" or attracting the attention of King Wen of Zhou, and so on. (To be continued......)
