Xiao Shenyan and Xiao Shenxing, the two old brothers, looked at each other in amazement, as if they didn't expect the other party to come to Xiao Mo's room at this time. 1 novel.1.0 text version debuted

"Fourth brother, why are you here?"

Xiao Shenxing didn't know why, but his expression was a little embarrassed at this time, and he greeted Xiao Shenyan.

Xiao Shenyan smiled and said, "It's nothing, point out Mo'er's homework, big brother, what about you?" ”

The embarrassed look on Xiao Shenxing's face became more and more obvious, and he quickly shook his head and said, "What else can I do here?" Of course, it's to see Mo'er, just to see Mo'er. ”

At the same time, Xiao Mo and Xiao Yi next to him both had a smile on their faces.

And Xiao Shenyan's eyes turned to Xiao Shenxing's hands.

At this time, Xiao Shenxing was holding a chessboard in his hand, and there were two boxes of black and white chess pieces on the chessboard.

As if thinking of something, Xiao Shenyan couldn't help but smile on his face, and said, "Big brother, you won't come here to play chess with Mo'er?" ”

Xiao Shenxing nodded, his old face flushed.

Xiao Shenyan laughed, patted Xiao Mo's shoulder, and said, "Mo'er, remember to be merciful to your grandfather's subordinates for a while." ”

Although this game has not yet been played, Xiao Shenyan seems to have determined the result.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Shenyan smiled and walked away.

Seeing Xiao Shenyan leaving, Xiao Shenxing breathed a sigh of relief, in front of this younger brother who was several times stronger than him, Xiao Shenyan seemed to have been unable to let go, just like in front of Liu.

After Xiao Shenyan's back completely disappeared into the corridor, Xiao Shenxing finally put away the embarrassment on his face, put the chessboard on the table, and said to Xiao Mo: "Mo'er, have you finished practicing?" We play chess. ”

An old man who is nearly sixty years old, has a childlike expectation and pleading in his eyes at this moment.

People say that they are still young when they are old, and this is true.

Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, walked to the table and sat down, and without saying anything, he played against Xiao Shenxing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It turned out that half a year ago, after Xiao Shenxing's old partner Liu Laosan fell ill, his health was not as good as before, and he was always sick and minor illnesses intermittently, without a partner, Xiao Shenxing, who loved chess all his life, only felt itchy and unbearable when no one was playing, but with his identity as the head of the family, he couldn't find an opponent in the Xiao family at all, and in desperation, he actually aimed at Xiao Mo.

So, Xiao Shenxing found Xiao Mo one day, and under the pretext that literati must be proficient in the game, and on the grounds of teaching Xiao Mo Go, he coaxed and deceived Xiao Mo to sit opposite him, took up the sunspot, and became the replacement for Liu Laosan.

At that time, when Xiao Shenxing was teaching Xiao Mo to play chess, what he said was extremely good, what "has been in the chess world for decades, and so far in addition to Liu Laosan, he has never found an opponent of equal strength, Mo'er, you follow me to play chess is really a blessing that people in the world can find" Yunyun.

And Xiao Mo actually believed it at that time.

Xiao Mo did not deal with Go in his previous life, and only knew the most basic rules and principles. Under Xiao Shenxing's guidance, Xiao Mo would be pulled to play one or two games with Xiao Shenxing every day.

On the first day, Xiao Mo lost to Xiao Shenxing for more than 20 eyes in the first contact with Go, on the second day, he lost nine eyes, and on the third day, he only lost four eyes......

Until a month later, Xiao Mo could easily win against Xiao Shen for more than ten years.

It's not how good Xiao Mo's chess game is, how high his talent is, it's just that Xiao Shenxing is really a stinky chess basket, and it is difficult to lose, which makes Xiao Mo can't help but be fooled.

However, if you think about it carefully, Xiao Shenxing didn't say a word at the beginning, with his stinky chess level, it is indeed difficult to find an opponent of equal strength in this world, so it is speculated that Liu Laosan's chess level is also worrisome. And others playing chess with Xiao Shenxing, they can easily win without much effort, which is indeed a rare blessing.

It can be seen that a person's hobbies and a person's talents do not match most of the time. And this is really a very helpless and cruel thing for Xiao Shenxing, especially in the face of the fact that he is no longer his grandson's opponent in a short period of time.

To get back to the point, about a stick of incense time, as a sunspot fell between Xiao Mo's fingers, Xiao Shenxing's long dragon on the plate had been completely cut off, and there was no hope of turning the table.

After Xiao Shenxing abandoned his son and admitted defeat, Xiao Mo smiled and cleaned up the chessboard, and asked at the same time: "Grandpa, is Grandpa Liu sick again?" ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, the embarrassment on Xiao Shenxing's face disappeared, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, he sighed gloomily, and said slowly: "Liu Laosan, he estimates that he is dying, and in the past six months, he has spent most of his time on the sickbed......"

Saying that, the gloomy look on Xiao Shenxing's face became even worse, and he said slowly: "After all, that old guy is already sixty-three, four years older than me, and his life is sixty years old. ”

Obviously, Xiao Shenxing thought of himself from Liu Laosan's situation, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad, after all, he was only four years younger than Liu Laosan.

Hearing Xiao Shenxing's words, Xiao Mo's heart suddenly shook.

After coming to this world, Xiao Mo has always had the intention of getting by, without pursuit and pressure, and just wants to live his life in peace and happiness. Even if he is now concentrating on studying "Xiao Ti", it is just an interest, and he is used to living a happy life, Xiao Mo subconsciously ignores this world, and there are still four words "birth, old age, sickness and death".

After being reminded by Xiao Shenyan, Xiao Mo suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.

Yes, sixty years of life are rare. Even in modern times, hundreds of years later, sixty years old is a hurdle for all old people, not to mention that the standard of living is much worse than in ancient times? Xiao Shenxing and Liu are only one or two years away from Ershun's age, and Xiao Shenyan is only five years younger than Xiao Shenxing.

looked up at Xiao Shenxing, but now Xiao Shenxing's head was extremely pale at some point, and the wrinkles on his face were becoming more and more dense, and he had already become an old man.

Xiao Shen is peaceful, Xiao Shen is stern, and Liu is stubborn, although the personalities of these three old men are different, they are all very good to Xiao Mo, even if this kind of good sometimes makes Xiao Mo unbearable, but I have to say that after this year of getting along, Xiao Mo has already regarded these three people as his true relatives in his heart.

On the contrary, Xiao Mo's parents in this world, Xiao Jiaju and Yang, because of the Liu family, they are just an identity and title for Xiao Mo, and they have no real feelings.

Now that he suddenly realized that the day of their death was not far away, and there was nothing to stop, Xiao Mo's mood also became heavy.

However, Xiao Mo still hid the gloom in his heart and comforted: "Grandpa, you are open-minded, although my Xiao family is not a wealthy family, but it is also worry-free, there is no shortage of food and drink, you will definitely be able to live a long life." ”

Xiao Shenxing shook his head, the sadness on his face was very different from the calm and casual in the past, he looked out the window and said lightly: "Live a long life, that's what you say, but who really does it?" ”

Saying that, Xiao Shenxing rarely touched Xiao Mo's head, and when he looked at Xiao Mo, his eyes were full of kindness and pity, this kind of action and look rarely appeared on Xiao Shenxing in the past.

I only heard Xiao Shenxing say softly: "Mo'er, you grow up quickly, there is not much time left in our generation, and your grandmother's energy this year is not as good as before, these days are just holding on, and I can't say that I will leave earlier than me, and once we old guys are all gone, the burden of the Xiao family will all be on you...... Mo'er, grow up quickly. ”

With Xiao Shenxing's words, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel more and more sad in his heart, but he still said with a strong smile: "You and your grandmother can actually rest all these years, aren't there still uncles, second uncles, and fathers in the family?" Wouldn't it be better for you and your grandmother to enjoy their old age just by leaving things to them? ”

Xiao Shenxing shook his head with a smile and said, "Put it down? How can it be that easy? Your grandmother has been too strong all her life, so that the three children have developed a cowardly temperament, and she is only submissive and has no opinions on weekdays, so where can she bear the burden of the Xiao family? Fortunately, after you were born, her temperament was slightly restrained, and you didn't grow up like your father, you are sensible and obedient and have your own opinions, so only you can shoulder the burden of the Xiao family in the future. ”

Seeing that Xiao Mo's face gradually darkened, Xiao Shenxing suddenly laughed, patted Xiao Mo's shoulder, and said: "Mo'er, you don't have to worry, before you grow up, your grandmother and I will guard this family business for you, now you are still young, don't think too much, just study with peace of mind." ”

After saying this, Xiao Shenxing stood up and began to clean up the chessboard, Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, and asked, "Grandpa, aren't we going to play a game anymore?" ”

Xiao Shenxing looked at Xiao Mo with a smile and said, "You kid, every time you win a game against me, you will inevitably deliberately lose a game to me, do you think I don't know?" Now that the results are known, why continue? If you continue to practice calligraphy, I won't interfere with you, or your grandmother will say that I am old again. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Shenxing packed up the chessboard and left, and in just a moment, he was gloomy, and seemed to have regained his former peace and casualness.

Looking at the back of Xiao Shenxing leaving, Xiao Mo frowned slightly, and his eyes were gloomy.

This grandfather, who seems to have been living in the shadow of the Liu family and Xiao Shenyan, makes people feel a little cowardly and mediocre, or is it the person who understands things the most in the entire Xiao family?

Thinking of the previous conversation, Xiao Mo's mood was also clouded, but unfortunately Xiao Mo was either crazy to work to make money in his previous life, or idle at home and have nothing to do, and he didn't have the slightest understanding of the way of health care for the elderly, even the simplest Tai Chi would not, otherwise he wouldn't be watching several old people weaken day by day.

With a sigh, Xiao Mo turned over and returned to the desk, holding the pen, and the crooked four-like font was soon covered with a piece of rice paper.

I don't know when, Xiao Moxian, practicing calligraphy helps him keep his mood calm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time is like water, and the passage of time makes people unconscious, unconsciously, and three years have passed like this.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Mo was already eleven years old.

In the past three years, the Liu family still raised Xiao Mo as a canary in a cage, not allowing others to interfere, the Xiao family is still taken care of by her, and she still insists on waiting outside the hospital every day at noon and evening for Xiao Mo to return from class.

And Xiao Shenxing still pulls Xiao Mo to play two games of chess every day, losing the first game and winning the second game. His expression was as peaceful and casual as ever, and he never saw the gloom that day. It is worth mentioning that Xiao Shenxing's old partner Liu Laosan, in the second month after that game of chess, couldn't resist the erosion of the years after all, and died of old age.

As for Xiao Shenyan, since that conversation, as usual, he has urged Xiao Mo to practice regular script in the morning, taught Xiao Mo the Four Books and Five Classics in the afternoon, and sometimes studied "Xiao Ti" with Xiao Mo, but he was in good spirits and did not show the slightest sign of aging.

This year, Xiao Shenxing was sixty and two, Liu was sixty, and Xiao Shenyan was fifty-seven years old.

For the three old men, Xiao Mo's expression in the past three years was undoubtedly extremely satisfying to them.

In Liu's opinion, Xiao Mo has grown four or five inches taller in three years, and although his body is still a little weak, and he occasionally has minor illnesses, he has never had a major illness and has grown up smoothly.

In Xiao Shenxing's opinion, since that conversation, Xiao Mo has matured a lot, is also sensible and filial, and often cares about the bodies of the three old people. But in fact, it was after that conversation that Xiao Mo no longer concealed his actual psychological age.

For Xiao Shenyan, in just four years, Xiao Mo has already mastered the Four Books and Five Classics, and now he has led Xiao Mo to read the Four Books and Five Classics intensively. And after three consecutive years of copying regular script, and insisting on continuous independent practice at night, and with the help of Xiao Shenyan, Xiao Mo's "Xiao Ti" has begun to see the charm of form, although it is still far from the real formation, but at least there has been a good start, and Xiao Mo's font has finally escaped the ugly category.

For Xiao Mo himself, in the past three years, in addition to the need to pay attention to the bodies of the three elders from time to time, and the occasional sadness when he saw the three old people getting older, his life was no different from the first year of his travels.

What made Xiao Mo a little helpless was that it had been more than four years since he traveled to this time and space, but under the control of the Liu family, he still had no chance to leave the Xiao family's compound and go outside to see the style of this era.

In Liu's opinion, it was cold and windy outside the Xiao family's compound, Xiao Mo would get sick as soon as he went out, there were endless wicked people outside the Xiao family's courtyard, and Xiao Mo would be bullied as soon as he went out, so no matter how Xiao Mo prayed, she resolutely did not allow it in this matter.

Xiao Mo originally thought that he would be like this in this life, spending his life in self-satisfaction and occasional helplessness, until he died of old age peacefully decades later.

Although he didn't become a gentleman, it seems that it is not bad to live like this.

However, the trajectory of fate is always so unpredictable.

In June of the 170th year of Dachu, that is, the fifth month after Xiao Mo's eleventh birthday, Hejian Mansion was in drought for many years, and the imperial court was unfavorable, and the peasant uprising broke out, because it was led by a person named Li San, so it was known as the "Li San Uprising" in history.

Where there is an uprising, there is oppression, the army arrived, and the uprising was quickly quelled, leaving only the thief leader Li San without a trace.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the Xiao family, who are far away in Changzhi City, at least it seems so.

It's just that the Xiao family didn't know that the day after the "Li San Uprising" subsided, outside the capital, dozens of knights escorted a luxury carriage and slowly came towards Changzhi City.
