Chapter 31: Four Hundred Years in the Blink of an Eye
"Since you are wandering all over the world, where do you get the money to travel around?" I thought of something and asked.|151 Kanshu.com Text|.|
Purple Butterfly smiled: "This." For example, there are casinos in Tibet and some ethnic minority counties in Yunnan, and sometimes I go there to win some money. If I didn't have a casino, I would have to wash the dishes and work as a temporary worker, and when I had some money for a while, I quit my job and continued to travel. But I really haven't done anything like cheating. ”
"Casinos? Temporary workers? I was stunned by her, "Then if you lose the bet, won't you be penniless?" ”
"Is this?" Purple Butterfly smiled, "Friend, to be honest, since I wandered two and a half years ago, I have been in and out of the casino more than a thousand times, and I haven't lost once. ”
Have you been in and out of the casino more than a thousand times and haven't lost once?
This guy ......
Is it serious?
I felt more and more that this guy in front of me was unpredictable, and the purple butterfly was standing there, handsome and delicate, but the fog on her body was layer after layer.
When we walked out of the medical hall, Purple Butterfly led us to the door of the rural guest house, where there was someone who would be responsible for helping us return to the county seat.
Walking to the door of the guest house, in front of a low house, I saw an old locust tree with its leaves peeling off and intertwined roots, and under the old locust tree, there was a stone table, on both sides of the stone table, two middle-aged women were playing chess, attentive, engrossed, and seemed to be extremely engaged.
Seeing this scene, Purple Butterfly stepped forward and said politely:
"Auntie, we are passengers who didn't leave the village yesterday, I heard that you have a transport car to go to the county seat to purchase, can you take a few of us?"
Hearing the voice of the purple butterfly, an old aunt with goosebumps, bean eyes, and thick eyebrows turned her face and said casually:
"You haven't left yet, have you? Today I have to play chess with my teacher, so I won't go shopping. ”
When we heard this, we were all stunned. I'll it, what does this old aunt mean?
I looked up at the old woman in front of the crane-haired woman, and saw that her white hair was spotted, her eyes were like torches, and her eyes were fixed, although there were a few vicissitudes of life, but her whole body exuded a compelling temperament.
This kind of temperament, I have only felt in soldiers. For example...... Commander Chen.
Hearing this, the faces of all three of us were a little ugly. Especially Zi Die, her face was even more gloomy, I didn't expect that we would encounter this kind of trouble when we went to the county seat.
I was a little unhappy at the time, and I wanted to pull Xiaobai and Zidie to turn around and leave. Anyway, it's only a dozen kilometers away, and I can't believe it if I go!
But at this moment, Purple Butterfly stepped forward in stride, walked up to the veteran with a calm face, and said:
"This senior, my two friends are really in a hurry to rush to the county seat, can you take a little time for your friends? We are forced to do so. ”
But when the old woman heard Zidie's words, she didn't raise her head, but smiled at the middle-aged woman in front of her and smiled: "Hahaha, Xiao Ruan, admit it, you lost this game!" I haven't seen each other for a few years, and your chess skills have really regressed. ”
"No, it's the teacher, your chess skills are more proficient. The person who can win the title of Beijing Chess King is not my tender vegetable sprout. The owner of the guest house shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile.
Faced with the ignorance of the two old men, Zidie frowned slightly, stepped forward to look at their chess game, and I also glanced at it casually, only to find that the chess pieces of the owner of the guest house had been eaten, and all the military horse artillery had been eaten, and only a few remnants of the defeated soldiers were left, obviously not the opponent of the veteran. Even I, a beginner in chess, could see that the veteran was going to win.
But Purple Butterfly casually glanced at the chessboard a few times, and suddenly said:
"Wrong. There is still a way to survive in this chess. ”
Hearing Purple Butterfly's words all the time, the old man who was laughing insolently finally turned his face, his smile converged, and a pair of sharp and fixed eyes looked at Purple Butterfly, but there was a little unhappiness and suspicion in his eyes.
Purple Butterfly hurriedly said:
"I know I shouldn't disturb the seniors' Yaxing. If the seniors think that this game will be won...... Can the juniors use this endgame to play against you? If the juniors win this game, I will take advantage of your friends to send us back to the county seat? ”
Hearing Zidie's words, the old soldier's face was slightly pale, his eyes shone brightly, and he said with majesty:
"It's young, it's a big breath. Do you know who I am? ”
Facing the old soldier's words, Zidie smiled slightly and continued:
"I don't know the identity of my predecessors. But all I know is that we are all chess lovers. There is no distinction between high and low status in the chess game, only the difference between high and low talent. I wonder if the seniors can let the juniors teach? ”
Purple Butterfly's words made the majestic old man's eyes change, and then he laughed, his voice was hearty, and his face was kind.
"Okay, young, young and promising. Okay, Xiao Ruan, I'll let this kid try, right? ”
Hearing the old soldier's words, the director of the guest house opposite smiled helplessly and asked, "Little girl, don't make a big statement." Do you know who this old man in front of you is, she is the former commander of the Zhengda Military Region in Beijing? But the hot, well-known big man who can call the wind and rain was also the one who made the capital full of wind and rain at the beginning, and he was even invincible in the Beijing Adult Chess Tournament back then, and he didn't know how many chess players Lao Jiang was ashamed of. ”
I was slightly stunned when I heard the words of the director of the guest house, I didn't expect that this unattractive old man in front of me would have such a big background, the former commander of the Beijing Military Region? That's really a big man who can cover the sky with one hand. It's really strange that such a big guy would meet in such a small place.
"Don't mention it, they're all retired, and it's a good thing to mention it in the past." The old commander also looked at it, and his tone was light, "Little girl, you said that you can move this endgame back, is it true or false?" ”
"Of course it's true. With such an identity as a senior, I don't dare to speak falsely. Purple Butterfly said respectfully.
"It's good for young people to have flesh, but they can't be publicized. Since you are confident, then you sit down and follow me in the next game, if you lose, you three," the old commander looked at us, his face suddenly became extremely serious, and said, "Just kneel for me and walk to the county seat, okay?" ”
Kneeling to the county seat? Hearing this, Purple Butterfly and I were shocked. Purple Butterfly's face also became heavy.
Purple Butterfly's face was gloomy, and she turned her face to look at me and Xiaobai, and said with a wry smile:
"Two friends, if you don't trust me. You can get out of here now. If you trust me, you can stay and watch this game. It's just that...... If I lose, you will kneel with me to the county seat. ”
My heart set off waves, is this purple butterfly crazy? Is she going to take this game?
"Friend, do you believe me?"
Purple Butterfly looked at me, her eyes like stars, and asked steadily.
Do you believe me?
A simple sentence put me in a dilemma. Should I believe Purple Butterfly, a woman whose identity is unknown? However, she did show enough kindness to us in the past day.
Should I trust her? I admit that Purple Butterfly is a very smart, unbelievably perfect woman, but ......
It's because it's so perfect that I can't believe her.
Purple Butterfly's perfection makes me suspect that she has other plans, ill-intentioned intentions, and bad intentions.
Believe? Still not convinced?
"I believe in you." For no apparent reason, I suddenly said this. Even I myself was taken aback. Why do I believe in Purple Butterfly? Is it because of her confident and determined eyes, or her beautiful face, or her friendly eyes and yesterday's common suffering? I don't know, all I know is that after saying this, Zidie smiled at me and said:
"Thank you, friend, for trusting me so much. Xiao Wang. From today onwards, I have made up your mind. I know I'm not a big deal, but I'm allowed to call you 'friend'. Purple Butterfly's words made my heart move slightly, but she had already turned around and sat opposite the old commander, and arched her hand: "Please give advice to the seniors." ”
Then he gently picked up the chess on the stone table and got down slowly.
Seeing the chess played by Zidie, the old commander frowned slightly at first, but then, his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim:
"Good chess. Good chess. Sure enough, it's a bit confident. It's kind of interesting. "Chess is a joy in life. When he met Purple Butterfly, a junior master, the old commander was also interested, and he played against Purple Butterfly. But the more the game was played, the deeper the old commander's brows locked, and the speed of the fall became slower and slower, and he began to hesitate.
Purple Butterfly sat quietly on the stone board, one hand on her lap, and the shadow of the locust tree fell on her face in the sun, which seemed so quiet and natural. Her handsome eyes are bright, and her eyes are bright in the darkness overlooking the chess game, as if overlooking the world and the vast universe. A fluffy purple hair fluttered in the wind, suddenly drifting, suddenly diffuse, and the fragrance that flashed between the strands of hair flowed was suffocating.
After playing like this for almost a dozen rounds, the old commander's body actually trembled violently, and then, she coughed heavily, very refreshing, Zidie came back to her senses, slowly raised her head, and looked at the old commander, but her eyes were calm and idle. The old commander suddenly slapped his legs, stood up, took a few steps forward, stood still, rubbed his hands together in front of his abdomen, and shouted loudly: "Can I ask your name?" ”
The old commander's words made Purple Butterfly's face move slightly, and Purple Butterfly hurriedly got up and shook her head, saying:
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't. Because I forgot my name too. But seniors can call me Purple Butterfly. ”
Hearing Purple Butterfly's words, the old commander's eyes fell on the pendant on Purple Butterfly's chest, and suddenly as if he understood something, his eyes lit up, and he arched his hand:
"I see. Butterflies dance in the bush, broken wings without regrets. Miss Purple Butterfly, I admit defeat in this game. You are young, there is such a way of chess, I have seen it, Hui Dao Zen in a furnace, clever calculations, the first to be powerful, the last to strike, send the dragon to control the water, the air through yin and yang, ancient and modern Confucian generals, but so. I've been learning chess for as long as I can remember. By the time I was eight years old, my mother was no match for me. At twenty o'clock, his peers were invincible, and there was rarely a defeat. At fifty o'clock, he stood out from the crowd and never lost again. Unexpectedly, today it was defeated in the hands of a young man of yours. I am fortunate to take over with you, I feel a lot, the Chinese chess road, after all, is not decadent, and I am willing to be a friend with you. I play this game of chess here, the right to do a reward, I don't know if you are willing to make a peace and give me a little face? ”
"Don't dare. The old-timers are serious. I'm just inspired and trying to parry. A tie is naturally best. Purple Butterfly also smiled elegantly, and hurriedly stopped the old commander's words.
"Okay, okay, hahaha." The old commander laughed, there were tears in the laughter, and more vicissitudes of life.
The old commander smiled and said to the director of the guest house opposite: "Old Ruan, send these friends." I don't think a few of them are ordinary people. One is as imposing as a dragon, the other is as beautiful as a fox, and the other is not fighting me. But I could feel his yang energy leaking out, just like Haori. It is said that Zhuge is a genius through the ages, but after all, it is Liu Bei's wisdom that can control the dragons, and he is the big man. Today I kind of opened my eyes. "151 Kanshu.com .
