Tang Yan didn't know what Uncle Grassroots' real name was, and since he could remember, he had called him Uncle Grassroots.

According to the villagers, 50 years ago, Uncle Grassroots, who was a young man, was in a coma on the ridge of Odamura.

When the villagers saw that he was pitiful, they brought him back and brought him back to life.

However, although Uncle Grassroots survived, his eyes could no longer see, and he couldn't even remember who he was.

During the time he was unconscious, he kept muttering the word grassroots, and the villagers gave him a name, called grassroots.

Uncle Caogen, who lost his memory and light, chose to stay, and the villagers did not dislike it, and collectively built a house for Uncle Caogen.

Fortunately, even though Uncle Grassroots lost his memory, he left behind a skill, blindly pinching clay dolls.

The clay doll pinched by the grassroots uncle blindly can be described as a must, not only pinched beautifully, but also very vivid, as if it will come to life in the next moment, and is deeply loved by children.

Since then, Uncle Grassroots has a house and a means to make a living, and Uncle Grassroots has become a member of Oda Village.

For Uncle Grassroots, Tang Yan still respects him very much.

I remember when he was a child, he was often naughty and chased and beaten by his parents, and whenever this happened, he would run to Uncle Grassroots's house.

And Uncle Grassroots will cooperate with him every time, telling his parents that he didn't come, and after his parents left, he would smile and give him a pinched clay doll, telling him a bunch of big truths that he didn't understand at that time.

Xiao Tang Yan's attention is not on those big truths, but on the mud doll in his hand, he has always been very curious, obviously the grassroots uncle can't see it, why is the clay doll pinched so good-looking, as if it has come to life?

He also asked Uncle Grassroots, but Uncle Grassroots smiled and didn't say anything every time, and over time, Tang Yan stopped asking.

But it's strange to say, every time he leaves with the mud doll given by Uncle Grassroots, within a few days, the clay doll will disappear inexplicably.

And there is even more strange, that is, before the mud doll disappears, he will inexplicably encounter a danger.

For example, when he was seven years old, he happily took the clay doll given by Uncle Grassroots, ready to show off with his friends, but when he passed by the small river in the village, he accidentally ran into the river.

The creek was not deep, but it was big enough to drown a seven-year-old child.

Tang Yan thought that he was going to die, but before he lost consciousness, he felt a pair of hands on the soles of his feet, and he suddenly jumped out of the river, fell to the grass, and fainted.

Although I drank a lot of water, I managed to save my life.

For example, when he was eight years old, he and Zhou Xiong and others went to the back mountain to be afraid and accidentally fell under a big rock, but they were still not injured, but the mud doll in their pocket was gone.

This continued until he was fourteen years old, his parents never taught him a lesson, Uncle Grassroots never gave him a clay doll, and he was not in any danger.

Tang Yan has always thought that the mud doll is his lucky star, and Uncle Grassroots is his idol, so he also respects Uncle Grassroots very much.

After going to college, he could only see Uncle Grassroots every time he went home during the holidays.

Although Uncle Grassroots couldn't see it, the clothes on his body were very clean, and his waist was straight, if Tang Yan didn't know that he was over seventy years old, he would still think he was still a middle-aged man.

In addition to pinching clay dolls, Uncle Grassroots' favorite thing is to play chess.

On weekdays, my favorite thing is to play a game of chess under this willow tree.

Uncle grassroots' chess skills are very high, and it is difficult to find opponents in the village except for the village chief.

To put it this way, it may not be enough to be vivid. Tang Yan once held his mobile phone and turned on the advanced computer mode, but he didn't win against him.

So later, the village chief didn't have time to play chess with him, so he played against himself, but he was also very happy.

"It's Xiao Yan, come and play chess with me."

Hearing Tang Yan's voice, Uncle Grassroots immediately showed a kind smile on his face and said with a smile.

Tang Yan obediently came to the opposite side and sat down cross-legged.

"Uncle grassroots, where did you go yesterday? Why didn't I find you when I went to your house? After sitting down, Tang Yan asked.

When he returned to the village, he passed by Uncle Grassroots' house, but found that there was no one, and he didn't see Uncle Grassroots on the night of the annual party.

When asked other villagers, they all said they didn't know.

Uncle Grassroots smiled, and then said, "I went to do something, so I came back later." ”

He didn't say anything to do, and Tang Yan didn't ask, because he knew that what Uncle Grassroots didn't want to say, no matter how much he asked, there would be no result.

It's just that I suddenly feel that Uncle Grassroots has become very mysterious.

He didn't think it before, but since the revival of the aura, his strength has continued to improve, and he suddenly found that his village and the people in the village have become different.

As for the difference, he couldn't figure it out.

"Here, play chess." Uncle Grassroots pointed to the chessboard in front of him: "You go first." ”

Tang Yan picked up the first cannon without hesitation: "Cannon two flat five!" ”

Uncle Grassroots chuckled, and the two began to play against each other.

Half an hour later......

Tang Yan watched his chess pieces become bare, only one old handsome remained, and then looked at Uncle Grassroots's chess pieces, one rook, one gun, one horse and three soldiers......

"Uncle grassroots' chess skills are still so good." Tang Yan sneered.

The two are not at the same level at all.

"What? Want to throw in the towel? Uncle Grassroots asked with a smile.

Tang Yan sighed helplessly.

Ten thousand armies surrounded him as an old commander, and his defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Uncle Grassroots didn't speak again, but moved the car and went straight to the general.

There is no way back!

"Fall!" Uncle Grassroots suddenly snorted softly.

Tang Yan was taken aback by Uncle Grassroots, looked at the chessboard, his eyes suddenly flickered, and a huge picture seemed to be imprinted in his eyes.

The mountains were undulating, and the army was overwhelming, and only one general fled in all directions, but there were too many troops, and soon all the generals' retreats were blocked.

These armies kept shouting for the generals to surrender, and the faces of the generals also showed hesitation.

Resistance is certain death, and maybe surrender can still have some way out......

"No!" When Tang Yan saw this, he almost subconsciously spoke up.

There is no doubt that you will die if you resist, but surrender will not only lead to death, but also to die with humiliation.

"Since you can't live, you should go to hell together!"

At this moment, Tang Yan seemed to have become a general, and in his consciousness, his whole body was constantly glowing, and the earth began to tremble.

In a moment, the mountains were turned upside down, the earth was cracked, and all the armies were buried in the ground, sleeping here forever, and the generals were also scattered.

"Nope! Obviously there is still a chance. Tang Yan woke up suddenly, already in a cold sweat.

quickly looked down, but found that Uncle Grassroots' sky was completely dark, Uncle Grassroots had long since disappeared, and in front of him, the game of chess had also turned into ashes.
