Opening Words –

Kunlun snow, Kunlun snow,

Reflect the starry night.

But the sky is a chessboard,

The bright moon sets the heavenly yuan.

A stone spirit fell to the ground,

Shake Kunlun Yue.

Inside black and white, between the tables,

I'm the only one.

The world changes like a thousand chess,

Dan's heart is stable.

Even if there are fairy hands,

Said after playing with him.

The first time it was difficult to fall back to Liujiazhuang

Heaven is the chessboard, the stars are the children, who can play? The so-called world is like chess, which means that the world is like that chess game, ever-changing, unpredictable, and chess is the way of the world. Go together, there have been in ancient times, it can be called Yayi, it is said to be invented by Di Yao, and his son Danzhu was taught to collect his sex. Or there are ancient sages, looking up at astronomy, looking down on geography, and participating in personnel, and should be placed in the image of all things. Later generations prevailed, generation of national players, one for self-cultivation and self-cultivation, the other for the art of competition. Its 361 grids correspond to the number of the innate river map, which is one of the three hundred and sixty-five degrees and four divisions of the week. Black and white are divided into yin and yang to image two instruments, and four corners are erected to press the four images. The distribution of nine stars, the middle of the Tianyuan, within the pattern, between black and white, has infinite fun. Among them, there are thousands of changes, wonderlands and strange feelings, and if you don't have extremely high talent and spirituality, you can't comprehend its mysteries, and if you can't comprehend it, you can't be called a master. As for the combination of technology and heaven and earth, and through ghosts and gods, it is even more of a different realm.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, somewhere in Hebei, Liujiazhuang.

A heavy snowfall fell for two days and two nights, covering a radius of hundreds of miles. Everything is wrapped in silver makeup, the mountains and rivers are the same color, the birds and beasts are extinct, and the sky and the earth are solemn. Occasionally, the mountain wind is together, among the trees, the snow is scattered, stirring in all directions, looking from a distance, it seems like a mist rising, and the already invisible ravines and ravines are shrouded in it.

The mountain village after the snow is especially quiet. The winter is bitterly cold, and many people in the mountains get up late, and they are too lazy to move after such heavy snowfall. However, after all, there are diligent people, and the vermilion lacquer door of a house "creaks" open, and an old man with a bamboo broom walked out. The old man swept the snow off the steps first, and then let out a middle-aged man in fur. The man raised his eyes and looked into the distance for a moment, then sighed, "Good snow! Good snow! I haven't seen such snow in years! With that, he let out a long breath, which was extremely refreshing.

This person's name is Liu Yishan, and he is a squire in Liujiazhuang. In his early years, he studied hard to make a name for himself, but his career was not good, and he did not grow up after winning a show, so he simply gave up Bagu and became a hermit in this remote mountain village. In the eyes of the villagers, he is a person with a face and a face.

Liu Yishan is immersed in the snow. "Huh?" The old man who was sweeping the snow suddenly said, "Master, what do you think this is?" "It turned out that there was a pile of snow bags protruding from the bottom of the steps, apparently buried something. When Liu Yishan saw it, he said, "Liu Fu, sweep it away and take a look." Liu Fu responded, stepped forward and gently swept it with a broom, the snow receded, and two people were exposed below. Seeing this, Liu Yishan was taken aback, and when he looked closely, he was an old man and a young man. The old clothes were shabby, and they did not wear cotton clothes; The youngest one is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and although there are several layers of cloth on his body, his thin body can still be seen. After Liu Fu was stunned, he hurriedly leaned over and shook the two of them a few times, and the two old and young seemed to have frozen for a long time, and they couldn't call it. Liu Yishan hurriedly said to Liu Fu: "Quickly call someone to carry them into the warm room for rescue." Liu Fu immediately ran into the door and shouted: "The master commands, come out and save people!" When some of the servants heard this, they ran out, and carried the old and the young into the house, and laid them apart in bed, and wrapped them in a quilt, and one of the servants hurriedly brought the brazier. Seeing this, Liu Yishan couldn't help but reproach: "How can the people of the frozen frontier use fire to roast? Hurry up and add a few more quilts. What useless people! Then he commanded, "Go and cook two bowls of ginger soup." Everyone was busy for a while, Liu Fu checked the old and young, then shook his head, got up and said to Liu Yishan: "Back to the master, this old man is no longer helpful, the small body is still warm, and there is still a breath, and it takes two hours to warm up before waking up." When Liu Yishan heard this, he said compassionately: "Pity! Wretched! It is a good deed that the child's life must be saved. Dress up the old man first, and then discuss it when the child wakes up. After speaking, Liu Yishan turned around and wanted to go back to the living room, when two fifteen or sixteen-year-old gorgeously dressed teenagers ran in from outside the door, and shouted when they entered the door: "What is going on?" Seeing Liu Yishan, the two hurriedly stood aside and said with a smile: "Daddy is early!" Liu Yishan saw that the two of them were unrestrained, and said with a smile: "Liu Cai, Liu Lu, you two don't go to study, what are you doing here?" Liu Cai stretched his neck and glanced at the bed, and said, "I heard that my father saved two people, I don't know what?" Liu Lu said disappreciatively: "It turned out that there were two people who asked for food, so it doesn't matter what they do." When Liu Yishan heard this, he said angrily: "Bastard! Don't be rude! The two brothers saw that they had no fun, so they went obediently.

In the afternoon, Liu Yishan was having tea in the hall, and his family member Liu Fu came in, bowed down and said, "Master, the child is awake." When Liu Yishan heard this, he hurriedly got up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." The master and servant came to the side room, and at this time the old man who had frozen to death had been carried to the firewood room for settlement, and only the young man was lying in the room, and he was looking around blankly with his eyes open, and when he saw someone coming in, he sat up with great difficulty, and said, "Two adults! What about my master? Liu Fu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said: "Little boy, lie down and don't move, my master is here, he saved you, and you have something to say slowly." Liu Yishan sat on the edge of the bed, and only then did he see that this young man was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his expression revealed a sense of aura, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart: "What a beautiful child!" The young man said eagerly, "This gentleman, do you know where my master is?" Liu Yishan was slightly stunned and said, "That old man is your master?" Where are you from? The young man shook his head and said, "I don't know where I'm from, it was the master who saved me on the side of the road ten years ago, so I was called a master and an apprentice." A few days ago, Xue Da got lost, and Master was sick for many days, and when he was sheltering from the wind and snow by the door of a house, he somehow fell asleep, and when he woke up, he was lying here, and he didn't see Master. With that, the boy began to sob. After hearing this, Liu Yishan knew that this old man and young man were wanderers, and said gloomily: "You child, but the experience is also tortuous. To tell you the truth, when I rescued you, the Lingshi had frozen to death and was now temporarily placed in the firewood room. When the young man heard the news, he couldn't help crying loudly, and immediately dragged his weak body to see the master's body. Liu Yishan saw that the young man was so affectionate to the dead old man, and he also sighed to himself, so he asked Liu Fu to help the young man to come to the firewood room together.

At this time, the old man who had frozen to death had been placed on a door panel, covered with a straw mat, and two servants were making a simple coffin beside him. When the young man saw his master lying here coldly, he immediately threw himself over and stroked the corpse and cried. Liu Yishan and Liu Fu's master and servant couldn't help crying with them. The boy was already weak and grief-stricken, and he fainted from crying for a while. Liu Yishan hurriedly asked Liu Fu to carry the young man back into the room.

Liu Fu fed the boy some soup. After a while, the young man gradually woke up, Liu Fu fed a bowl of gruel, and the young man recovered some strength, and under Liu Yishan's inquiry, the young man cried and told his life experience. It turned out that the old man who froze to death was named Fang Lan, and he was a wandering Jianghu guest. The young man with the master's surname, called Fang Guolian, ten years ago somehow lost from home, sitting on the side of the road crying, just met Fang Lan passing by, rescued, visited for a few months, but could not find Fang Guolian's original home. In Fang Guolian's vague memory, there are many tall houses in his family, and there are often many horses and vehicles walking in front of the door, like a large family. Later, Fang Lan had no choice but to accept Fang Guohuan as an apprentice, and took his surname to take his name, and since then he has traveled the world with Fang Guolian. Although Fang Lan is a down-and-out Jianghu guest, she is also proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, erudite and versatile, and teaches Fang Guolian to read and write in her spare time. In the past ten years, Fang Guohuan has also become a well-educated and talented, able to write well, and has never wasted time. The master and apprentice are like father and son, relying on each other for their lives, wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, Fang Guolian gradually grew up under Fang Lan's care. I don't want Fang Lan to die suddenly, leaving the country alone, without relatives, I don't know how to live in the future. After Fang Guohuan finished telling everything, he cried bitterly.

Liu Yishan listened to it and sighed greatly, hearing what Fang Guozhuan said, he knew that he must be a lost child of a big family, and it was also a blessing in misfortune to meet Shanglan and read and write. At this time, he had an idea in his heart, so he comforted: "Fang Gongzi doesn't have to be sad, although you are in trouble here, you are also a literate person, stay at home in the future, study with my two dogs, and you should not be disadvantaged by food and clothing." In the future, if your family is found, go with them. I don't know what Fang Gongzi thinks? When Fang Guohuan heard this, he hurriedly got up and bowed down and said: "Thank you, Mr., for taking me in a person in distress, I am very grateful, and I will be rewarded if I have the opportunity in the future." Liu Yishan saw that although Fang Guohuan was young, he also knew etiquette, and he was really better than his two sons, so he was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Fang Guohuan and said: "Liu Mou's life is the person who likes to read and know etiquette, and it is really rare to meet a son like this." Then he said to Liu Fu: "Go and call the two sons, let Fang Gongzi read with the two of them in the future, and set an example." Liu Fu responded. Liu Yishan saw that Fang Guolian's clothes were thin and shabby, so he ordered someone to find a dress to change with him, and Fang Guohuan thanked him again. Liu Yishan then asked about some things in the article, Fang Guolian answered like a stream, Liu Yishan liked it very much, and then said: "Tomorrow I will go to Houshan to choose a good place, bury the honored teacher, and the son can rest assured to live in our house in the future, and have the opportunity to go to Bo Fame and Future, when it will not cover up Confucius." When Fang Guochuan heard this, he thanked him again with tears, and said gratefully: "I am fortunate to meet a good person like Mr. Liu, if I have a bright future in the future, I should do my best to repay him." "Fang Guohuan is a smart young man, and he is kind-hearted, and he has such a grateful heart.

The next day, Liu Yishan ordered Fang Lan's coffin to be sent for burial, and Fang Guochuan cried again and thanked Liu Yishan for his kindness. Since then, Fang Guochuan has studied with Liu Yishan's two sons, Liu Cai and Liu Lu. Liu Yishan was unfavorable in his early years, although he was indifferent to fame, he hoped that his two sons would be successful. But the Liu brothers have lived in a mountain village for a long time, have never seen the world, read a few poetry books, and think that they are very knowledgeable, and they don't take others seriously. When the two brothers saw that the little girl named Huazi rescued by the family came to read with them, they had a disdainful color, and only regarded Fang Guolian as a child servant to call, calling and drinking, and making things difficult from time to time. Fang Guochuan didn't care, in order to repay Liu Yishan's kindness to save his life and bury him, he served with heart and no complaints. After a few days, the Liu brothers saw that Fang Guohuan was very obedient and obedient, and they liked it in their hearts, so they didn't care about making it difficult and treated him as a confidant. is also the same age and temperament, Fang Guolian and the two brothers get along well. When he had nothing to do, Fang Guochuan didn't dare to be idle, and did some work with the servants, and within a few days, the Liu family liked him very much, and Liu Yishan was very happy to see it.

After more than ten days, there was another heavy snowfall, and the birds and beasts in the mountains could not bear the hunger, and often went to the edge of the village to forage for food. When the Liu brothers saw it, they pulled Fang Guohuan and took baskets and rice to the mountains to catch birds. The three of them left the village and struggled to climb the mountain through knee-deep snow. In order to catch a larger mountain bird, the three of them actually helped each other to the top of the mountain. Liu Cai found an open area and said, "This is it." With that, he stepped forward and swept out a square open space with a tree branch. Liu Lu asked Fang Guolian to scatter the rice on the ground, and he found a short tree branch, tied a slender rope, and set up a basket to cover the rice. When everything was ready, the Liu brothers cheered, pulled Fang Guolian to hide behind a pine tree far away, squatted in the snow, and waited for the mountain birds to come and cast.

Seeing the two brothers doing this, Fang Guohuan asked, "Can you catch birds like this?" Liu Lu said proudly: "Don't worry, this method is commonly used by my two brothers, and every time there is a harvest, and they will never return empty-handed." "Shh Liu Cai signaled to the two of them at this time, and the three of them looked at each other, only to see a brightly colored pheasant flying low from afar, staring vigilantly at the rice under the basket, hesitating. The three of them immediately became nervous, and did not dare to move, staring with bated breath, frightened away this rare prey.

The pheasant spun around in front of the basket a few times, cooed a few times, and could not bear the hunger, so he stretched out his neck and pecked a few grains of rice, and walked away quickly. Liu Cai and Liu Lu were so excited that their faces were flushed, and the two brothers were also veterans of bird hunting, although they looked nervous, they were not in a hurry to pull the rope. Fang Guochuan said in his heart: "Yes, the heavy snow covers the mountains, the birds and beasts have no food, you can catch them by setting some simple traps, and the birds die for food, this is the truth." When the pheasant first pecked at his hand, when he saw that there was no movement, he became bold, and simply moved under the basket and ate as much as he wanted. Seeing this, Liu Cai pulled the rope hard, and completely buckled the greedy pheasant under the basket, and the few beautiful tail feathers exposed outside were also drawn into the bottom of the basket once they were frightened and pounced.

When the three of them saw that they had succeeded, they cheered, jumped up, and ran over. Liu Cai stretched out his hand under the basket to catch the pheasant, tied the pheasant's claws with a rope, and held it in his arms so happy that his face bloomed. Liu Lu and Fang Guolian stepped forward to stroke their feathers and competed to touch them.

The first capture was successful, and the three of them were very excited, so they set up the basket again. The time was not long, and it attracted a flock of mountain birds, chirping and chirping, no less than a hundred or ten. The three of them caught for a long time, but they only got some chickadees, and no big birds came to cast. Liu Lu saw that it was getting late, so he said, "That's it for today, let's come back tomorrow." Liu Cai responded, so he and Fang Guolian stepped forward to pack up the trap, and Liu Lu stroked the pheasant on the side. Fang Guohuan harvested the rice and carried the basket again. At this moment, I suddenly heard an exclamation: "Wolf! Fang Guochuan was stunned when he heard this, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Lu lying on his back on the snow, his face frightened. Not far away, a gray and sturdy wolf, baring Bai Sensen's teeth, ran a few steps, suddenly jumped up, and pounced straight at Liu Lu. This wolf has been hungry for a long time, and he can't stand the hunger, so he ignores the fact that there are three people here, and rashly offends each other, and it is difficult to prevent it as a hungry wolf. Liu Lu was so frightened that he said "Mom", he didn't know what to do, and Liu Cai over there was already stunned. Seeing that Liu Lu was in danger, Fang Guochuan shouted in a hurry and smashed the bird-catching basket towards the wolf. When the wolf's front paws were close to Liu Lu's raised arm, the basket happened to fly over, and it was also Fang Guohuan who used more force in a hurry, and the basket actually knocked the wolf over. The wolf was attacked by an accident, and the fierce light was revealed, and he rolled on the ground, hissed lowly, and stared at Fang Guolian and pounced. Fang Guolian couldn't find anything to resist on the snow for a while, so he grabbed the branch of the basket and poked it into the wolf's face with all his might. The wolf's open bloody mouth had already arrived in front of Fang Guolian, Fang Guohuan had clearly seen the upper and lower rows of sharp teeth, and at the same time felt a fishy hot breath rushing straight to the door, and at this time, the short branch had poked at the wolf's neck.

At this critical moment, the wolf's head suddenly flickered in front of Fang Guolian's eyes and was planted, and all this happened in an instant. When Fang Guolian looked at it steadily, the wolf had an extra long arrow on its neck, and it was already dead. At this moment, from behind the tree, a young man with a stiff bow jumped out, dressed as a hunter with an animal skin around his waist. The young man ran over and asked, "Are you all right?" As soon as Liu Cai and Liu Lu saw this young man, they immediately recovered from their panic and cheered in unison: "Brother Bu, it's you!" The young man glanced at the Liu brothers, ignored them, walked straight to Fang Guolian, patted him on the shoulder, and exclaimed, "Little brother, what a gut!" Not intimidated by this wolf. Fang Guohuan saw that this young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was born strong, knowing that he was saved by this person, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you for the grace of this heroic brother for saving his life." The young man hurriedly helped Fang Guohuan up, and said with a smile: "In Xia Buyuan, where is the hero, but I admire the courage of the little brother who is not afraid of danger." Bu Yuan then said in surprise: "Where is this little brother from?" How come I haven't seen it before? How to be with the two sons of the Liu family? At this time, Liu Cai and Liu Lu brothers came forward. Liu Cai accosted: "Brother Bu Yuan, he is our family's new scholar, named Fang Guolian. Bu Yuanzhi smiled when he heard it: "It turned out to be Brother Fang, disrespectful!" Disrespectful! Liu Lu kicked the dead wolf with his foot, wiped the sweat on his head, and said with palpitations: "You brute, if it weren't for Brother Bu Yuan's timely arrival, my Liu Lu's life would be gone." When Bu Yuan heard this, he shook his head and said: "It was not Bu who saved your life, but this Brother Fang, if he hadn't thrown a basket in time and knocked the wolf away, your throat would have been bitten by the wolf a long time ago, where could you still stand here and talk." Your two brothers are too unhelpful, so they don't have the guts to be as bold as this Fang brother. When the Liu brothers heard this, they were ashamed and silent.

Fang Guohuan saw that Bu Yuan had a bold temperament and superb archery skills, and he was convinced, so he said: "Brother Bu is really a marksman, and he will kill this wolf with one arrow." Bu Yuan smiled: "I originally hunted for a living, which is not a skill. With that, he stepped forward and pulled out the long arrow from the wolf's neck, wiped the blood, and inserted it back into the quiver. Liu Cai saw that the wolf's fur was indeed of the highest quality at this time, and he couldn't help but think about it, and said to Bu Yuan with some embarrassment: "Brother Bu, we have received your kindness, but this wolf is what we attracted, so we should ...... It belongs to my two brothers. As soon as these words came out, Fang Guohuan was shocked: "How can the son speak like this? If it weren't for Brother Bu, the three of us would have died today, and Brother Bu would have saved our lives. Besides, this wolf was originally shot by Brother Bu, how can the son fight? When Liu Cai heard this, his face turned red, and he said curtly: "This...... Actually......" Bu Yuan laughed and said at this time: "Brother Gongzi is Brother Gongzi, it is not as righteous as Brother Fang, this beast belongs to you, what is the dispute with you, if I can meet Brother Fang today, I Bu Yuan will be content." When the Liu brothers saw that Bu Yuan gave the wolf to them, they were overjoyed and were busy carrying the wolf's corpse. Unbeknownst to him, the wolf was so heavy that the two brothers couldn't lift it after walking a few steps, and they were reluctant to put it down, so they could only drag it with difficulty. Bu Yuan saw it, shook his head and said: "Okay, since your two brothers can't carry it, just leave it to me for the time being, what you ask for is just its fur, wolf meat tastes strange, and there are many people who don't eat it, leave it to me in the future to attract the big beasts in the mountains, how about the fur being sent to the house tomorrow?" Liu Cai was overjoyed and said, "Great! Yay! The meat belongs to you, and the fur belongs to us, and it is fair that we will not suffer any loss. "The Liu brothers were afraid that Bu Yuan would fight the wolf just now, but now they heard that Bu Yuan could be sent back to the wolf's skin, but they trusted it very much. Bu Yuan hung the hard bow on his waist, then held the front and rear feet of the dead wolf, turned it over his shoulder, turned around and said to Fang Guolian: "Brother Fang, see you tomorrow." After that, he ignored the Liu brothers and went straight to the back of the mountain. Liu Cai said at this time: "Let's go too, so as not to encounter any more fierce beasts." Liu Lu had palpitations and hurriedly responded: "Let's go quickly." The three of them packed up their traps, took the pheasant and went down the hill the same way. On the way, Fang Guolian said: "It turns out that the two sons met this big brother Bu. Liu Caidao: "Bu Yuan is a famous hunter within a radius of 100 miles, and his fame is very big, and everyone knows it. Liu Lu said: "This person is also eccentric, he doesn't live in the village, but lives in the mountains with his blind old lady." Liu Cai said again: "This Bu Yuan is very righteous, and the people in the township obey him, otherwise how can we rest assured that he will carry the wolf away!" Seeing that the Liu brothers were so greedy, without a trace of Liu Yishan's benevolence, Fang Guochuan secretly shook his head. When they arrived at the village, the servants saw that the Liu brothers had caught a pheasant, and they all competed to praise them, and the two brothers were even more proud. When they arrived in the hall to see Liu Yishan, the Liu brothers told them about catching birds and encountering wolves, and then being rescued by Bu Yuan, but did not mention the plot of Fang Guolian's basket to save Liu Lu. At that time, Liu Yishan was scared after hearing it, and when he heard that Bu Yuan rescued him, his heart was at ease. Liu Cai then said proudly: "We brought the evil wolf, and Bu Yuan killed it with an arrow, and everyone divided it equally, the wolf meat belongs to him, and the fur belongs to us." Liu Lu also helped on the side. Seeing that the two brothers were talking nonsense, Fang Guohuan laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything, letting them brag about themselves. Liu Yishan heard that Bu Yuan was going to return the wolf skin tomorrow, so he said even more respectfully: "This Bu Yuan is really a righteous hero, and I will thank him well tomorrow." Then he said dissatisfiedly to the Liu brothers: "Bu Yuan saved you, it's too late to be grateful, but he wants to share that wolf skin, isn't it ridiculous!" Liu Lu argued: "Where we want to share, it was actually sent voluntarily by Bu Yuan." The wolf's fur is also of the highest quality, and it can be exchanged for at least five taels of silver when it comes to the set. Liu Yishan listened and shook his head silently. Early the next morning, Liu Cai and Liu Lu ran to the gate to look, waiting for Bu Yuan to send the wolf skin. Who knew that there was no shadow of Bu Yuan at noon, and the two couldn't help but get anxious. Liu Cai said indignantly: "Such an untrustworthy villain has vain us to believe him." If you don't come again, my son will take someone to raid your broken house. Liu Lu also complained on the side. Fang Guolian was helping Liu Fu boil water in the kitchen, and when he heard the two shouting outside the door, he came out and said to the Liu brothers: "Don't be anxious, two sons, I don't think Brother Bu Yuan is the kind of person who doesn't tell his credit." It's only been half a day, and there's still an afternoon, so the two sons might as well go into the house and wait. When the Liu brothers heard this, they also felt reasonable, but the two of them were too anxious, not only did they not enter the house, but went to the entrance of the village to wait for Bu Yuan. Fang Guochuan shook his head, turned around and returned to the kitchen.

Liu Fu saw Fang Guolian coming, so he said: "Fang Gongzi came back just in time, please send tea to the hall, and the old man will add fire to the stove." Fang Guohuan responded and went to serve tea. After more than half a month in Liu's house, Fang Guochuan knew that it was not easy, and often helped the servants to do some work, and everyone was used to it. When Fang Guochuan came to the living room with two cups of tea, he realized that the Liu family had guests today. At this time, Liu Yishan was concentrating on playing Go with an old man. Seeing that the two of them were playing against each other, Fang Guolian's heart moved, and he stepped forward and gently put the tea tray on the table, and said, "Please use the two gentlemen for tea." Liu Yishan answered, did not look up, and held a white child in his hand but did not fall for a long time. It turned out that Liu Yishan's white chess move had been forced to a dangerous place by the old man's black chess move, and there seemed to be no reversal technique. At this time, the old man's face showed happiness, took a sip of tea, and said proudly: "Can Brother Liu admit defeat?" Liu Yishan stared at the chessboard for a moment, shook his head, put the chess pieces back into the chess jar, and sighed lightly: "Alas! Could it be that Liu can't win you in this life? The old man became more and more proud, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu's chess skills can be counted within a radius of dozens of miles, but in front of the old man, it seems to be a little like that." After speaking, he laughed, although Liu Yishan's face was unnatural, he was helpless. At this time, Fang Guohuan on the side saw that the old man was so crazy, he couldn't hold it back, and suddenly said: "There is still one move that has not been left, why did Mr. admit defeat?" As he spoke, he picked up a white piece and dropped it lightly on the chessboard. Liu Yishan was stunned at first, then got up and blurted out: "Wonderful! Wonderful! It turned out that this move not only made White move alive, but also put Black at a disadvantage, and it was a clever move to turn the tide. Liu Yishan saw that Fang Guohuan was actually a master of chess, and he was surprised and delighted. The old man's laughter continued, and he was suddenly slapped by Fang Guolian on the chessboard, and after a closer look, he was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Who is this son?" There is such a strange trick! Without waiting for Liu Yishan to speak, Fang Guochuan had already given a salute and said, "The little scholar is rude, and I ask the old gentleman to forgive him." When the old man heard this, he was even more surprised. Liu Yishan was very happy and said freely: "I can't imagine that a scholar in our house will stump Zhu Yuanwai, I don't know if I can admit defeat?" Zhu Yuanwai was ashamed, and said in confusion: "Why hasn't this kid seen it before?" Liu Yishan's mood suddenly brightened, smiled slightly, and said matter-of-factly: "This son has been in my house for a long time, and he was afraid of sweeping Zhu Yuanwai's chess fortune before, so he didn't let him show up." Today, I felt that the heat was almost over, so I asked him to come out to kill Zhu Yuanwai's prestige, so that Zhu Yuanwai knew that there were more strong players among the strong. Laughing. That Zhu Yuanwai said ashamedly: "It turns out that Brother Liu secretly asked the master to shame me and say goodbye!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left. Liu Yishan was also not polite, and arched his hand: "Don't send it!" "I guess I'm usually used to being humiliated by that Zhu Yuan's external chess, but now I saw him go in embarrassment, and I was so unhappy.

Seeing that he had rashly driven away that Zhu Yuanwai with a chess move, Fang Guohuan secretly regretted in his heart, and hurriedly apologized to Liu Yishan: "I was ignorant and ran into Mr.'s guest, please forgive me." Liu Yishan said happily: "What is the crime? If there is no son's clever hand, today will make that Zhu Yuanwai gain momentum, and there will be no one in his eyes, and it will be good to take him a town. Then, Liu Yishan was surprised again: "I didn't expect the son to be proficient in chess, the move shown just now is really a master, I don't know how to learn it, and the skill is as high as this?" Fang Guohuan said compassionately: "The first master is a chess master, and my chess skills are taught by his old man." When Liu Yishan heard this, he was surprised: "It turns out that Mr. Ling Shifang is actually a master in chess, but it is a pity that Liu failed to meet him, which is really a pity." After speaking, he sighed and added a little favor to Fang Guolian.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the noise of people outside the courtyard gate, but when they heard Liu Cai, he said excitedly: "I said that Brother Bu Yuan is a person who promises a thousand gold, and said that he will come today." Then he heard Liu Lu say: "That's natural, Brother Bu is a well-known figure, and the word Xinyi is the most firmly guarded." The Liu brothers let Bu Yuan into the house, and went to the backyard with a roll of wolf skins. As soon as Fang Guohuan saw Bu Yuan, he happily called "Brother Bu" and greeted him. Bu Yuan saw Fang Guolian, and immediately said happily: "Brother Fang, how are you?" "It's like meeting old friends for a long time. Liu Yishan greeted at this time and said: "It turned out that Bu Zhuangshi, who saved the child's life, has arrived, please sit down!" Bu Yuan and Liu Yishan greeted each other, and then entered the hall and sat down. The servant brought the tea, Liu Yishan made a gesture of please, and then got up and said: "If it wasn't for the rescue of Bu Zhuang yesterday, the child would have lost the wolf's mouth. After speaking, he gave a deep salute. Bu Yuan hurriedly helped: "Folks in the big hometown, why be polite!" In fact, it was this Brother Fang who really saved Ling Gongzi's life. When Liu Yishan heard this, he was stunned and said, "What's going on?" Bu Yuan recounted the situation on the mountain yesterday. Liu Yishan listened, Fang knew the reason, and couldn't help but be very grateful to Fang Guolian, and got up to thank him, Fang Guolian over there had already thanked him: "The people in distress can be rescued by Mr., and the remnants of their lives can be spared. What I did yesterday was just my best, so why should I thank me? Fang Guolian can't afford it. "Say goodbye and say goodbye. Liu Yishan's eyes were moist with emotion, and he hurriedly helped Fang Guohuan up, and said: "Gongzi is a righteous person, don't say thank you between you and me, it is also fate that your master and apprentice can walk in front of my Liu family." Bu Yuan saw the two talking strangely next to him, and hurriedly asked why, so Fang Guohuan told Liu Yishan about rescuing him from the snow. When Bu Yuan heard this, he was surprised: "It turns out that Brother Fang is in trouble here!" Liu Yishan said: "Although Fang Gongzi is a person in distress, he has also read poetry and books and can write articles. What's even more unexpected is that he is still a master of chess, and he has suppressed Zhu Yuanwai in Nancun. As soon as Liu Yishan mentioned this, his face was filled with joy. After hearing this, Bu Yuan looked at the chessboard on the table again, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly pulled Fang Guohuan and said excitedly: "Brother Fang, can you play a good chess hand?" Fang Guochuan responded: "The little brother is not talented, but he can afford the ordinary situation." When Bu Yuan heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Great! With that, he got up and pulled Fang Guolian and left. Liu Yishan hurriedly stopped: "Why is Bu Zhuangshi so anxious? Bu Yuanbei said excitedly: "God has given me a Fang Xian brother, I will take him to win an object in chess and come back." Liu Yishan was surprised: "What can make Bu Zhuangshi's heart move?" Liu prepared food and drinks, and it was not too late to go after using them. Bu Yuan shook his head and said: "Master Liu, Bu is anxious, and he can't wait for a while, so I'll talk about it after I go to do it." Liu Yishan was reluctant to let Fang Guolian go, and wanted to stop him. Seeing that Bu Yuan was so anxious, as if he had something big, Fang Guochuan said to Liu Yishan: "Mr. Liu, I'd better go with Brother Bu, maybe I can help." Seeing this, Liu Yishan had no choice but to respond: "Okay, Fang Gongzi will go back as soon as he goes, don't let people worry about it." ”

After Bu Yuan thanked him, he pulled Fang Guolian and turned around and left. Fang Guochuan waved goodbye to Liu Yishan, and Liu Yishan had to send the two out. After leaving Liujiazhuang, Bu Yuan said happily: "Brother Xian will go with me this time, don't turn back." Fang Guohuan seemed puzzled, shook his head and said: "Mr. Liu is kind to me, how can I go so lightly, it should be rude." Bu Yuan said: "The virtuous brother is a person in distress, how can he live in the Liu family for a long time?" That Liu Yishan is still benevolent, but his two sons have no virtue, so it is inconvenient to get along with them for a long time. When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was speechless. Bu Yuan said with relief: "Brother Xian has both courage and chess skills, but in the future, if you go with me, you will not be able to eat and drink." When I saw you yesterday, I felt that you and I had the same temperament, just because the old mother was in the hall, Bu did not dare to run away without permission, otherwise he would have made an appointment with his virtuous brother to go to the world once, and his life would not be in vain. Then, Bu Yuan asked about Fang Guolian's life experience, and after listening to Fang Guolian's story, he sighed. Fang Guolian knew a person like Bu Yuan, and he liked it in his heart.
