Chapter 57: Arrival
"Three steps first? What's wrong with taking three steps first? Is it a lot worse? Tian Qingyou asked puzzled - he doesn't know how to play Go, so naturally he doesn't know what it means to take three steps first, if it's running, he can understand it, but let three moves first, let a lot? Wouldn't it be possible to catch up with a little bit of effort?
"Hehe, you don't understand, at their level, not to mention a handicap, it's not easy to even make the opponent first. Okay, let's not talk about it. Qiu Ju smiled, no one who knows is not surprised, just like no matter how good a person is, he can't use words to make a naturally blind person understand what color the flower is, even if he knows that the flower is called a red flower, and the clothes have been washed, she no longer chats with the two children, and stands up to dry the clothes.
"Wow, every day, no wonder you're so smart, it turns out that your father is so powerful." Tian Qingyou shouted, he finally found an excuse for his stupidity - it's not that he is poor, but that his genetics are too good, other people's fathers can play chess and draw, and his own father can brag in addition to drinking, how can he compare!
"Hee-hee, of course. I want to learn chess hard, and when I grow up, I will be like my father. Tan Xiaotian puffed up his little chest and said proudly-there is always an object of imitation and worship in the minds of children, and this person is often his father, Tan Xiaotian's current idea is that he wants to be an excellent person like his father.
"Well, I also have to learn chess hard, so I don't know if it will be difficult." Seeing the proud appearance of his little friend, Tian Qingyou was very envious, but unfortunately, his father was just an ordinary innkeeper, except for a little money, there was really nothing to show off.
"It's okay, I'll teach you then." Tan Xiaotian is righteous, and he doesn't know how to play chess yet, but he is already patting his chest to make a guarantee, this confidence is really not something ordinary people can have.
"Ha, thank you, I'm relieved to have your words." Tian Qingyou said with a smile - he did not doubt Tan Xiaotian's big words, because this little friend who was two or three years younger than himself had too many brains smarter than himself, and he believed that no matter how difficult Go was, as long as someone taught him, he would definitely be able to learn it every day, and not only if he could do it, but it was excellent.
"A word is a certainty, hang on the hook, and it will not change for a hundred years." Two little children put their little fingers together, and there are words in their mouths - this is a song that children like to sing when they swear to show that words count and will not be changed.
Qiu Ju, who was drying clothes next to her, heard the oath of the two children, and the movements in her hands stopped unconsciously, looking at the two children who were giggling and laughing, and began to chase and play in the yard again, the expression on her face became complicated, and she sighed softly, shook her head, and continued to dry her clothes.
The so-called rich and easy to do, for the richest man in Meilong Town, but everything that money can solve is not a thing, the day after the birthday banquet, Liu Wenxiong sent a housekeeper with two guys to Qingyun City to buy teaching supplies, the purchase list was provided by Yuan Lang and Su Quan, two school teachers, as for how to buy bargaining, the Liu family has special materials in this area, no need to worry.
Three days later, the purchaser came back, when he went there was a cart full of mountain goods, and when he came back, it was a neat cart of boxes, the boxes were of water willow wood, each of which was two feet square, more than one foot thick, there were five such boxes, and there were two boxes that were slightly smaller and thicker, and all the boxes were painted with red paint, reflecting brilliance in the sun, and it was eye-catching.
The town is small, and because of this, the news spreads very quickly, and when the wagon carrying goods has not yet entered the town, the townspeople and children who have heard the news have already gathered there to greet them.
"Butler Fu, what's on the car? Isn't it the legendary game of Go? Someone asked Ah Fu, who was sitting in the car and nodding to the townspeople frequently.
"Ha, the news is very good, what's the matter, I know that there is a prize money in the game, do you want to learn to play chess too?" Ah Fu replied with a smile.
"Isn't that nonsense, the championship bonus is fifty taels of white silver, aren't you red-eyed?" The man rightly asked.
"Heh, I'm not red-eyed, fifty taels of silver is a lot, the problem is that you have to have the ability to take it. Old five, you want to be a champion in your elm brain, and you will be in the next life. Ah Fu teased mercilessly.
"Hey, what I'm talking about, why am I so elm brained? Why can't I win the championship? When I haven't been to Qingyun City, I haven't seen anyone play chess? Isn't it just two people sitting together and taking turns stacking white and black chess pieces on the chessboard? What's the big deal. The person who called the fifth child was unconvinced.
"Cut, you think it's amazing to see someone else play chess? Then let me ask you, how to win and lose in chess? Ah Fu snorted disdainfully and asked the fifth child.
The townsman named Lao Wu was dumbfounded when asked - seeing others playing chess does not mean that he can play chess himself, just like swimming, others have been teaching him for a long time, and he will not be able to learn to swim for a lifetime if he jumps into the water and even chokes a few mouthfuls of water.
"You ask the fifth, do you know?" Someone reported the grievances and shouted for the old five.
"Hehe, of course I do." Ah Fu said with a smug smile - if this question had been asked to him three days ago, he would definitely not be able to answer it, but when he bought chess equipment in Qingyun City, because the purchase volume was too large, he needed to wait for the merchants in the city to stock up the goods, and during the period, he learned to play chess from the merchants who operated chess equipment.
"Playing Go means that whoever encloses the place is bigger, whoever encloses the place is bigger wins, and whoever encloses the smaller one loses, understand?" Ah Fu said with a smile, naturally, such an explanation is basically equivalent to playing the piano to a cow for most townspeople who even know what Go looks like. As soon as this began, the townspeople who had a great interest in Go (or a great interest in the prize money of Go tournaments) asked questions.
"Stop, stop!" Ah Fu is not a teacher in the juku, and he is not good at teaching others, plus his understanding of Go is only limited to grinding guns in Qingyun City in the past few days, he is still half a bottle of vinegar, a bottle is dissatisfied, and half a bottle is shaking, how can he explain it clearly?
"If you want to learn Go, don't look for me, I don't have that ability, if you want to learn, you can learn Wuya or Wanjuanlou, Teacher Yuan and Teacher Su are the real Go masters, listening to them is not better than pestering me here." Ah Fu shouted.
