Chapter 12 Decision-making
In the meadow, a few beautiful butterflies flutter around the small yellow wildflowers, but it is unknown whether they end up in the belly of a predatory spider or fall in the cold night. In any case, after breaking out of the cocoon and turning into butterflies, they always pass away at the most beautiful time.
Biting the grass roots, the road lying on the grass was gone, and I was sad. At the age of fifteen, I have not yet appreciated the scenery of life, but I am almost at the end of my life.
That beautiful dream, the desperate escape, and the temptation to go home once made him forget that he was poisoned by Gu, but he did not take the antidote for this month.
Whether or not I deliberately want to forget that time, that memory. But the Five Poisons Sect's roadblock inspection made him have to remember it.
After the convoy was streamlined, the speed became faster, and it had entered the territory of Zizhou, Chang'an, and was getting closer and closer. But Chang'an is getting farther and farther away from himself.
Chang'an, I can't go back. Not to mention the huge debts he owes, he can't afford to pay off his grandfather, grandson, father and son after selling them. I can't do it myself, lose face and live on the streets for my own family. What's more, the day of the poison may be in these two days.
In a short life, he left nothing behind. But I can't forget the tearful, desperate face.
"It's way! Come with me to pick mushrooms. Qing'er's voice interrupted the nonsense of the road.
Since the young master said that these mountain mushrooms would become expensive, Qing'er has fallen in love with collecting mushrooms in the forest. After stopping her from collecting a beautiful but highly poisonous poisonous mushroom, Qing'er quickly became familiar with him, and every time she collected mushrooms, she would be called on the road.
Qing'er's conversation is always inseparable from her young master, so she learned that the young man was thirteen years old, and his name was Lu Jiu. At a young age, he is already the owner of the famous fat powder shop Ning Xiang Pavilion in Datang, the chief steward of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce and the Jiannan Road Branch.
I passed through the heart of some pride, and I don't know how many times I was hit. For Qing'er's constant praise of his young master, he has changed from vague jealousy to indifference.
"Why do you say that the young master is so powerful, the mountain mushrooms that grow overnight in this forest will be turned into silver by the young master." Qing'er stretched out her snow-white little hand and picked up a mushroom.
Seeing the face smiling like a flower, I gave way and involuntarily remembered the square. God knows what, these two beautiful maidens smile so brightly at the mention of silver.
"I don't think your Ninth Young Master is very good, a man, but he is better looking than a woman, and he secretly hides women's clothes." Said sourly.
"The Ninth Young Master is originally a girl, she looks good, and it's normal to have women's clothes." Qing'er looked at the road innocently, a picture of why you don't know.
The road was really messy this time, and he didn't say a word for a long time, and rushed past Qing'er with a black face, looking at a cluster of mushrooms.
After thinking about it for a long time, I slowly collected this cluster of mushrooms. Although this cluster of mushrooms looks inconspicuous and not poisonous, people will hallucinate when they eat it. After passing by, he knew that he should leave, and this mushroom was the opportunity for him to leave, and it was also a small revenge on Lu Jiu, a demonic girl.
The moon and stars are scarce, and the "cooing" of owls is heard in the mountains and forests, which is very scary. The road was unmoved, and buried his head in the depths of the mountains.
No one would chase after them, and everyone drank the hallucinogenic mushroom soup. I wonder what those people will see and do in the hallucinations. Laughed knowingly.
The farther you go, the higher you climb. From late night to dawn, from dawn to noon. When I passed, my clothes were wet with fog and dried by the heat. I didn't find it, I didn't find my final destination.
Maybe it was at the end of his life, and he was extremely energetic. I walked all night and all morning, and I didn't feel sleepy at all.
Climb up, climb to the top of that high mountain. I was insignificant in life, but when I died, I must be high.
"Immortals? Could it be that there are really hidden immortals in this deep mountain! "When I saw a pair of extraordinary players on the top of the mountain, I almost screamed out in my heart.
I didn't dare to make a noise when I was on the road, and honestly watched the battle from the sidelines.
The old man in black had long snow-white hair, not many wrinkles on his forehead, and his eyes were dark and deep, and he looked very wise. The chess path is thick and dense, and there is not the slightest loophole.
The middle-aged man holding white is magnificent, floating out of the dust, like an immortal dripping into the mortal world. The chess moves are light and erratic, and they can always grab the main points.
These two have excellent chess skills, and every time they see the subtleties, they can't help but pass by, and they smile and nod again and again. The chess game ended, and the old man was defeated. He shook his head regretfully.
"I didn't expect Mr. Taibin's seclusion, in addition to me, an idle person, there was another good guest unexpectedly." The middle-aged man played with the chess pieces in his hand, looking a little proud.
The old man's expression was indifferent, and he didn't care about the outcome of the chess game at all. I didn't ask for directions, and looked at him with a smile.
"This little friend also seems to be good at chess. Xiaoyou shook his head later, did he think that the old man's later moves were wrong? ”;
He bowed to the old man: "The boy got lost in the mountain, and accidentally found the two gentlemen playing here. The kid was rough in chess, and when he saw that he was happy, he couldn't help but watch from the sidelines, hoping that the two gentlemen would forgive him. The kid shook his head, but he felt a little regretful for Mr. to lose, so much that he didn't dare to say that Mr. made some mistakes. ”
The old man is such an old man, wouldn't he be unable to see the way out, and there was a trace of disdain hidden on his face. smiled freely: "Chess is a way, no distinction between old and young, and the master is the teacher." If you have a novel move, you can not be scrimson, and everyone will discuss it. ”
The road is not old, but Yicheng has come, and it is difficult to meet opponents. I saw the two masters today, and I didn't feel very itchy. You can't pretend to shirk it, and you're not welcome. The game is returned to more than 20 moves, and the hand of black is returned to attack the small tip of white.
In this way, the white dragon will not have no way to escape, but the land gained is a little less, and it is difficult to say whether the winner or loser.
The two frowned and looked at each other for a long time. The middle-aged man was still pondering, but the old man nodded again and again: "It seems that I am a little old after all, and I don't have the sharpness of a young man." ”
"You kid has some chess skills, come on, play a game with me." The middle-aged man was a little unwilling, and he didn't care that he was just a young man, so he had to compete with him.
After the road, he was a little disliked and full of pride, but now he is very unconvinced. There is no adult demeanor and cultivation, and it is really a loss of that dust-removing temperament and good-looking skin.
"In my opinion, this old gentleman's chess strength is a little deeper than that of you, sir, but he has a little less sense of victory. If I really want to come, I'd like to have a hand talk with the old gentleman. ”;
Seeing Lu Lu said these words proudly, the middle-aged man was not angry. Clean up the chessboard, put your seat on the table, and look at the road defiantly.
The old man smiled and waved his hand: "You and I have been playing several games in a few days, and we have won and lost each other. It's rare to meet a new opponent today, so let me, an old man, let me come first. ”
The middle-aged man had more respect for the old man, and when he heard this, he gave up his seat with a look of regret on his face.
You are not welcome when you pass by, Shi Shiran sat down and happily played against the old man.
Seeing that the old man's chess path was still conservative, he felt a little contemptuous when he was on the road. The son who broke into the opponent's position bullied all the way in.
The old man's profound chess strength was finally revealed, and he flew lightly, showing his fangs to the lone one. After tossing and turning, it is impossible to escape from the entanglement of the old man. There is a needle hidden in the cotton, threatening the life and death of this chess.
After frequent long exams, racking my brains, and skillful hands, I finally found another eye in the dead end. As long as this son falls, this dragon with more than 20 sons can work on the spot.
I looked at the chessboard when I was on the road, and even if I was alive, I fell behind. Being forced by the opponent on the left, the whole chess game is gone, and it is difficult to recover the defeat.
Retracted the hand that was about to fall, and started the long exam.
After passing by the clever hand of treating orphans, the middle-aged people were fascinated and admired. It's just that the old man is old in chess, surrounded but not killed, and the momentum has been achieved. The road is over, the general trend has gone, and there is no power to return to the sky. Even if you are yourself, you can't think of a way for a while.
The old man stroked his beard, looked calm, and waited for the choice of the road. To live or not to live, the life and death of a big dragon is in the middle of a thought.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and the whining wind sounded, as if it was a reckless advance on the road, and regretted that the chess game had gone to a dead end.
The road moved, and he did not choose to work on the spot, but clicked into the position on the left side of the old man.
The middle-aged man and the old man opened their eyes almost at the same time, such a big dragon, does it not care whether it lives or dies?
Eat or not, choose to hand it over to the old man.
In the end, the old man did not escape the temptation and clicked off one of the dragon's eyes. This big dragon who desperately fled was ruthlessly abandoned by the road at the last moment when hope came.
The old man happily picked up the dead son on the chessboard, and as if he didn't see it, he flew lightly in the old man's position on the left.
The white-haired old man's face changed suddenly, and he died suddenly near the star position on his left side, and Dakong was also flown in by a son, full of loopholes. He ate the dead son's gains, but it was not enough to compensate for the loss of the left side. The balance of victory and defeat has turned to the road.
At the end of the chess game, the old man and the middle-aged man stared at the chess game for a long time, and finally conceded defeat.
The two of them had a good taste for a long time, and their expressions were difficult to understand.
After passing by, I didn't have time to give in, and suddenly I felt a huge pain in my abdomen, my brain went black, and I fell straight back.
