Another day, Nonglu and Wang Xiucai were drinking tea in the tea room, and the tea guests were also leisurely drinking tea and chatting, when suddenly, they heard the neighing of horses in the market, causing a commotion.

When all the tea customers raised their eyes, they all panicked, and some screamed loudly in fright, and scattered out of the teahouse for a while.

It turned out to be two Oriental devils, who tied their horses at this time, carried guns, and swaggered straight into the "Sanjitang" teahouse. The two Oriental devils slapped their guns on the table and grunted.

At this time, the farmer thought about it, with a smile on his face, walked over in three steps and two steps, brought tea and poured water, and at the same time signaled the little red girl to leave quickly.

The little red girl didn't realize it, and in the panic, she didn't know how to retreat. Because she looks a little good, she is smart.

One of the devils, with a beard, suddenly stood up, put a big hand on the shoulder of the little red girl, and laughed strangely, as if to tease.

The little red girl trembled like a frightened bird, and chirped and cried.

The farmer was furious, and he picked up a bench and was about to take it up, when he suddenly felt a hard thing on top of the waist pole, and he resisted it to death. It turned out to be a foreign gun of a devil!

At the critical moment, he couldn't help but stalemate, the bench in his hand fell down immediately, and Nonglu instinctively closed his eyes in pain. But he's already furious!

It was a very urgent moment, in an instant, I suddenly heard two screams of "wow, wow", Nonglu heard something behind him "bang" down, hurriedly turned around, only to see that the devil with the gun had lost his breath, rolled his eyes, but there was no scar on his body, and when he turned around again, the little red girl over there was hiding her face and sobbing, but there was a corpse of an Oriental devil lying flat at her feet......

When everyone was surprised, a person suddenly came out of the kitchen, it turned out to be a lame old man, no matter how you looked at him, he was not lame at all!

I saw the lame old man quickly tie a thick rope to the two corpses of the devil and two guns, like carrying a chicken, and instantly tied it to a horse in front of the teahouse, and turned around and hugged his fist: "The green mountains are still the same, the green water flows for a long time, the old man is polite here, and there will be a period later!" ”

In front of everyone's eyes, the lame old man suddenly flew on his horse, and whirred away with the sound of the horse's hooves......

Here, all the tea guests were stunned, and the farmer stood on a high place, shouting loudly, please calm down and continue to drink tea!

It turned out that this rickety old man was a group of cooks temporarily hired by the "Sanjitang" teahouse, fifty miles away, claiming to be from Wudang Mountain, the holy land of Taoism in Hubei, with a slightly lame leg and a rickety waist, so he didn't come out often, stayed in the kitchen, and didn't like to talk to people. Therefore, the people in the teahouse called him a "stuffy gourd old man"!

Today, he is not "boring" at all, and he is "not a hit, a blockbuster"!

On the second floor of the "Sanjitang" tea house, the business area has more than 100 square meters, and the innermost small stage is a performance place for storytellers and singers.

At the other end of the second floor, there is a special chess room, where chess players are paired with a cup of tea, and in the atmosphere of chess fighting, the fragrance of tea is exuded, which is a perfect match. The storyteller and singing, this chess fan plays chess, neither delaying nor interfering with each other, each having their own fun.

In addition to playing Go, there are also people who play chess, but there are slightly fewer, there are always twenty or thirty people who play Go every day, and there are more people who play chess or watch chess on holidays or rotational holidays, or when there are big names in the chess world to visit. The teahouse is a business that is full every day.

Therefore, the second floor is like an avenue, with both a theater and a chess field, as well as several elegant seats. This kind of mix-and-match design makes people want to leave when they come.

From the perspective of chess skills, Hankou has not cultivated any outstanding players, and it may be that Hankou is a place that is more cultivated. Of course, the national players will also come to Hankou to turn around the chess field, and the "Sanjitang" tea is a place that the national players must go to Hankou, and the characters who have been known as the "national players of the north and the south" have visited the "Sanjitang" teahouse and played with the chess fans in Hankou for several days, which can be described as very lively.

The way of operating the tea house in the farm house is quite exquisite, the first floor is dominated by individual guests, and the three religions and nine streams are mixed, and they try to take care of each other thoughtfully, so that they can be safe. So it's as simple as it gets: you can buy a cup of tea for a little change when you enter the door, and everything else is casual, except for one thing: don't make loud noises! As for dim sum, melon seeds, candies, snacks and the like, tea houses are sold in pairing. Therefore, ordinary people can enter the teahouse to drink tea, which invisibly gathers popularity and wins word of mouth.

Chess friends who are more involved in chess will rush into the teahouse to talk with people as soon as they get off work, kill one or two games, which is a little satisfying hunger, and then get up and go downstairs, spend a little money in the small shop to buy a bowl of noodles for dinner, and then go back to the teahouse to fight again, until nine or ten o'clock in the middle of the night. There are rattan chairs in the teahouse, and chess fans will soak all day on holidays, and when they feel that they are not in good spirits, they will take a short nap on the rattan chairs to nourish their spirits and continue to fight. This tea money is naturally indispensable.

In the "Sanjitang" tea under the "color" chess, there is also a "help color" said. This means that if a wealthy chess player in the family is more optimistic about him, he will be funded to learn by playing "color" chess, and make a "color head" for him. Mr. Duan, who is lame, has instructed many students who accept "help color", one of whom is named Wang Kun.

This Wang Kun's experience is more legendary, his family used to be very rich, and even had a relationship with a scientist, the evidence is that their family once lived in the former residence of that scientist. Wang Kun talked about it. Wang Kun's father once invested in a factory, the factory was halfway built, was washed away by a sudden flood, his father gritted his teeth to finish the factory, and when it came time to purchase equipment, but the pocket was shy, the factory had to shut down, and the family road fell down.

Wang Kun didn't come into contact with Go until he was thirty years old, but with his extraordinary talent, he made a name for himself in the teahouse step by step, and he was a late bloomer. After receiving the attention of local officials, Wang Kun was later hired as a regional coach.

The game between Wang Kun and the lame Mr. Duan is talked about with relish by chess friends: at first, Mr. Duan let him have two sons, but he could easily beat him, and later changed it to one son, so that the first ...... After some time, Wang Kun's chess skills have grown to the same level as Mr. Duan, Mr. Duan is reluctant to be a student and opponent, but he can't delay himself playing chess and eating, so he discussed with Wang Kun: if you win the king, the king will give the money, if you lose, keep the account, and the next time you win the chess, it will be automatically deducted. In this way, the two of them maintained a good chess game.

During this period, there was a saying that "playing expensive chess is cheap", which means that chess is the stuff of the peddlers' pawns, which is somewhat vulgar and cannot be elegant, while playing Go is different, it is the elegance played by cultural talents. This seems to be a bit of a "literati light" flavor.

The real situation is that in the era of war and turmoil, whether it is chess or Go lovers, there is no systematic learning, and there is no opportunity for competitive upgrading, as far as the "Sanjitang" tea is concerned, there is a group of Go fans with the highest level in Hankou gathered here, and the vast majority of people are middle-aged, and they came into contact with Go by chance, and if they liked it, they played until they were fascinated, and that's it.

For example, there is a chess friend, his family used to run a pharmacy, and there was a doctor who prescribed prescriptions in the pharmacy who could play Go, and this chess friend began to learn chess from him.

Because in the turbulent years, it is not so easy for anyone to improve their chess skills, except for finding famous teachers, and most chess players rely on going to places like teahouses and teahouses.

After about half a month, Nonglu and his entourage returned to Nanyi County, and only Nong Tianyi continued to stay in the "Sanjitang" teahouse in Hankou.

During his stay in Hankou, in addition to doing his job well, Nong Tianyi went to the chess room to watch the game of chess whenever he had time, and soon, he also slowly fell in love with playing Go, and his chess skills made great progress, which was unexpected.
