Chapter 1: Set Sail (1)

Next Chapter

Cangrong Town is a small town in the southwest of Dongyun Continent, with wide hills and fertile land; Facing the sea in the north, precipitation is abundant in all seasons; Relying on the superior natural conditions, Cangrong Town has formed a unique pastoral scenery.

The morning sun showed its own faint glow, and a beam of light shone directly on the desk.

Lin Yunjue, who was lying in front of the desk, slowly opened his eyes.

The computer host still exudes residual heat, and several stacks of books in various fields are neatly placed aside, leaving traces of turning over.

Lin Yunjue stretched his waist, and a faint purple light appeared in his eyes.

A little tired.

I'd love to keep sleeping, but.

Trembling and standing up, Lin Yunjue staggered towards the door, silently expecting what breakfast his uncle would prepare.

There are some things that you still have to do by yourself.

As soon as the door opened, I saw a cup of soy milk and two steamed buns on the dining table not far away.

There was obviously no smell, but Lin Yunjue's body showed a trace of vitality.

"It smells so good."

……

Located in the remote town of Cangrong, the life of the townspeople is no different from that of the countryside. Due to the low price of land, anyone who has a certain ability will choose to build a house by himself.

Similarly, most of the young people here go to the big cities to work hard and leave their children to their parents to take care of, resulting in a serious age gap in the population of Cangrong Town, with only children and middle-aged and elderly people left.

The door of a three-story house is slowly being opened at this moment.

The sun shines brightly.

Lin Yunjue slowly opened his eyes, trying to adapt to the world, and the familiar noise came from the depths of the valley, gradually becoming clearer.

"Uncle Lin, hurry up."

"There, there, down there."

"Uncle Lin, if you can't do it, quickly admit defeat and let me go down with my grandfather."

"Come on, Uncle Lin!"

……

Someone actually cheered for his uncle again? I'm afraid it's new, right? Lin Yunjue looked ahead with surprised eyes.

On the courtyard, a group of children gather around a stone table and chessboard.

The black man is a respected old man, the white hair on his head shows the traces of time in the sun, and he still retains a childlike heart for more than 70 years.

The man in charge of the white son is an uncle who looks like he is in his forties, dressed in casual clothes, hunched over, with his hands crossed on the table, as if thinking about a chess game...... I guess so.

The one who shouted cheers could also be seen at a glance, among the onlookers were all children, he was particularly prominent, and he looked like he was in his early thirties, and there was no such person in Lin Yunjue's impression, it should be the kind of passerby who would not say hello when they met on the road, but why did he come, Lin Yunjue felt that he could guess eight or nine without leaving ten.

"Look, isn't that Brother Jue?" An exclamation came out of nowhere in the crowd, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned to the door. Except for Uncle Lin.

"Wow, it's a real person!"

"Brother Jue, you finally came out, I haven't seen you for a few days, I heard that you were admitted to Linca Academy, so amazing!

"That's one of only two universities in the world!"

"What's the other one?"

"You don't understand that, Cofer College."

……

Looking at this group of birds rushing over and chirping, Lin Yunjue smiled slightly and said, "Yo, don't you sleep in the morning?" ”

"It's Brother Jue, you're sleeping."

"When you wake up early, you can see Uncle Lin's crying nose being bullied."

"Has Uncle Lin ever cried?"

"I think there is......

Before Lin Yunjue could talk and laugh with the children, the middle-aged man came over excitedly.

"Isn't this Brother Yunjue, you can figure it out."

"Brother......, this uncle, I'm only eighteen."

"It's okay, it's not important, although your uncle and I are only thirty-five, but just like your uncle, I play with the children every day, and I feel like I am still twenty." The middle-aged man looked at Uncle Lin enviously, immediately looked back at Lin Yunjue, and said with a hippie smile:

"Let's not talk about this first, I heard that you were admitted to Linca Academy, and I came here to say hello, you look at those neighbors around you, I heard that you were admitted to Linca, and I congratulated you for the first two days, you haven't come out in the past few days, they have disappeared in a few moments, they are busy, and they don't even bring a congratulatory gift, no, I brought some small gifts, not a tribute, and I have put it away for Uncle Lin. Congratulations on your admission to Linca Academy! ”

Lin Yunjue smiled slightly, and was about to say thank you, when Uncle Lin, who was looking at the chessboard not far away, heard the small gift, he didn't raise his head, and suddenly interjected:

"This is your Uncle Li, the one who sells tea in the western district of the town, people specially came to our eastern district, Yunjue, you have to thank you." Then I heard Uncle Lin whisper again:

"The tea is delicious."

"......" Lin Yunjue was speechless for a while, thinking to himself why I didn't drink it, but the surface work was still very good.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, you came all the way here, if you need my help in the future, just ask, don't let my uncle drink your tea for nothing, don't you say yes."

The smile on Uncle Li's face was a little more: "That's, that's, if only I had such a talented nephew, alas, it's a pity for my nephew." ”

Lin Yunjue looked at Uncle Li a little apologetically, and then walked towards the chessboard.

As I walked, I heard Uncle Li's small voice behind me: "But Uncle Lin's strength in chess, well, it's really hard to explain." ”

Lin Yunjue instantly had a better impression of Uncle Li, these days, in addition to himself and this group of children, few of his peers who dare to say that his uncle's chess skills will break it in person, they are afraid that his uncle will be embarrassed, and there is one less opponent who can be bullied.

"Yo, Yunjue, you've figured it out, congratulations on your admission to Linca Academy." The white-haired grandfather greeted Lin Yunjue with a kind face.

"Old Liu, I'm playing backgammon, and I'm bullying my uncle again."

"What is bullying, your uncle and I are going back and forth with Liu Laoxia, don't talk nonsense. It's time for you. Uncle Lin rubbed his hands and smiled confidently.

I don't know why, it's very inadequate.

Liu Lao stroked his beard with a smile, ready to start.

"Huh?"

"Hey, why did the situation turn around? Didn't Uncle Lin lose just now? A child beside Lin Yunjue frowned and looked at the chess game, as if he felt a little wrong.

I don't know what this game used to be like, but I know you're right, so be brave enough to point it out. Lin Yunjue silently supported this child in his heart.

"Was there this white boy in this place just now?"

"Hey, why is that very powerful sunspot gone?"

"Wow, Uncle Lin, are you secretly changing children again!"

"Nonsense, don't make trouble, children, is my Uncle Lin like that kind of thing to steal chickens and touch dogs?" Uncle Lin waved his backhand and continued to say with that underbeaten smile:

"Old Liu, it's your turn."

"This ......" Liu Lao frowned, and the speed of brushing his beard couldn't help but slow down.

Lin Yunjue finally knew why his uncle didn't play chess with the uncles and aunts in the neighborhood in the past few days, but went to find his father and grandfather.

Lin Yunjue, who really couldn't look at it, patted Uncle Lin on the shoulder and said:

"I'm leaving, I'll be back tonight."

"Go, go, go. Old Liu, you'd better hurry up......"

In the crowd, the two children watched Lin Yunjue slip away, and couldn't help but say to each other:

"Where did Brother Jue go?"

"Today is the first day of school, so I should go to class."

"But isn't it the first day of elementary school? What is he doing as a college student? ”
