Chapter 4: Backgammon
"How? Father-in-law, the rules of this backgammon are not very simple. ”
Xia Wuji described the rules of backgammon, and said with a flattering smile: "My father-in-law is extremely smart, and his chess skills are unparalleled in the world, my son-in-law is definitely not your opponent, and I will have to be merciful later." ”
Huang Yaoshi frowned slightly, this backgammon does sound very simple, but it is obviously unwise to give up the game of Go that he is good at and play backgammon that he has never played.
When he was about to refuse, Xiao Huang Rong covered his mouth and smiled: "Daddy is indeed a national player in Go, unparalleled in the world." But if it's backgammon, he has never played it, but he doesn't dare to play it with you, and if he loses, he will lose face and be ashamed to see people. ”
Huang Yaoshi's face sank.
"Rong'er, don't talk nonsense." Xia Wuji glared at Xiao Huang Rong and blamed: "My father-in-law is familiar with astronomy and geography, the five elements gossip, Qimen Dunjia, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Nothing is known, nothing is fine. Even my uncle admires it very much, such a simple backgammon is just a child's trick for my father-in-law, how can he not dare to play it? ”
Huang Yaoshi's face sank again.
Xiao Huang Rong's delicate chin raised: "Daddy, this person is lonely and arrogant, and he can't stand to fail, he will definitely play Go with you." ”
Xia Wuji said: "Hey, that's not right, father-in-law......"
Before he finished his words, Huang Yaoshi's face sank like water, slapped the table, and said: "Shut up for me, it's just a five-in-a-row chess, am I still afraid!" ”
Xia Wuji and Xiao Huang Rong glanced at each other, with a smile between their eyebrows.
In fact, how could Huang Yaoshi not understand such a simple method of agitation. But his temperament is arrogant, and his daughter is here, so it is naturally impossible to show weakness.
Xia Wuji said respectfully: "Father-in-law is playing chess for the first time, please take the black chess first." ”
Xiao Huang Rong also said: "Yes, Daddy, you are playing backgammon for the first time, you are a novice, or you should go first with the black spot, otherwise you will lose face if you lose." ”
"Hmph, Ouyang Kid will go first with black chess."
Huang Yaoshi stroked his beard, his face was cold and indifferent, no matter which old father it was, seeing his daughter and a man joining hands to pit himself, he was afraid that he would not be in a good mood: "In order to convince your kid to lose, you and I will win three times in five games, if you defeat me, you will pass this first test." ”
According to Huang Yaoshi, this backgammon game is simple to play, even if he is not familiar with the playing method. But as long as you play one or two rounds, you will almost find out. When the time comes, it will not be difficult to win.
What's more, this stinky boy is here to be his son-in-law. It's not like he doesn't have the slightest eyesight, so he loses and loses, and he can't get off the stage.
Xia Wuji hurriedly lowered his head, afraid of laughing: "Since this is the case, then the son-in-law will leave first." "Twist a chess piece and put it down.
Huang Yaoshi dropped a white child without thinking.
Xia Wuji followed closely and fell sunspots.
For a while, everything was silent, only the "snapping" sound of the chess pieces constantly being placed on the chessboard.
"This backgammon is not difficult, you may be able to beat this stinky boy in the first game, and win him two more games later, so that this kid will make a fool of himself and know how powerful the old man is."
The two sides had a dozen or so chess pieces that fell back and forth, and Huang Yaoshi nodded secretly. He has basically figured out the pattern of backgammon, and then he only has a chance to win.
"Heaven and earth are the same!"
Just when he was thinking like this, he suddenly saw Xia Wuji holding the sunspot in his hand, raising it high, and then falling with a "snap".
"Father-in-law, in the first game, you lost!" Xia Wuji let out a long breath.
Huang Yaoshi was slightly stunned, and after a closer look, sure enough, the five sunspots were connected in a line.
"You're a junior, let you just do it this game, come again." Huang Yaoshi's hand brushing his beard trembled slightly, but his face was Gujing Wubo, and he looked like a master.
The chess game started again, and this time it was still Xia Wuji who took the lead.
It's just that Huang Yaoshi has become cautious, and it seems that every move will be thought about for a long time.
Although he lost a game, he was not too worried.
The first game was just a test of hands, and now it's starting to get serious.
Just a yellow-haired boy, can you still win against me?
When I played chess, you kid wasn't born yet.
If you lose, don't cry......
"Heaven and earth are the same!"
Xia Wuji held the sunspot in his hand, and put it down with a "snap", very quickly.
"Father-in-law, I won again."
Huang Yaoshi's face twitched, the green tendons on his forehead bulged, and he kept telling himself that playing chess is self-cultivation, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry......
After chanting like this more than ten times, he barely suppressed the nameless fire in his heart.
Then Huang Yaoshi said in a deep tone, and said in the tone of teaching juniors: "Three wins in five games, I haven't lost yet, don't be happy too early." Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and most of them are like this, you must guard against arrogance and rashness. The next game is the key. ”
Xia Wuji nodded thoughtfully: "What my father-in-law taught me is that my son-in-law knows." ”
Huang Yaoshi glanced at Xia Wuji deeply, with a different meaning in his eyes. This backgammon seems to be a bit difficult, but this kid is very smart, and he should always know how to do it in the last game, right?
I'm my future father-in-law!
Xia Wuji saw Huang Yaoshi looking over, smiled slightly, and nodded slightly, as if to say, don't worry, father-in-law, I know the measure.
At the beginning of the third game of chess, Xia Wuji took the lead in this game.
In fact, the first move of backgammon can have a great advantage, and can even determine the outcome of the game. Xia Wuji's ability to defeat Huang Yaoshi in the previous two games is not unrelated.
Huang Yaoshi played two rounds and naturally discovered the clues. But he is an elder, and his daughter is by his side, so he can't pull his face and open his mouth first.
And this Ouyang boy is also an interesting person, and he must know how to move in the third game of chess.
Thinking of this, Huang Yaoshi raised his head, and Xia Wuji on the opposite side quickly showed a flattering smile.
Huang Yaoshi's heart relaxed, and even a faint smile appeared on his face.
Playing chess is to cultivate one's self-cultivation, and it is not good to be angry......
"Heaven and earth are the same!!" As soon as this thought arose in his mind, Xia Wuji suddenly shouted!
Huang Yaoshi was stunned, the familiar heaven and earth are the same, the familiar hands are raised, and the familiar five sons and one line are ......
"I seem to have won again."
Xia Wuji scratched his head and made an honest appearance. Then he looked up at Huang Yaoshi, and said gratefully: "It's all up to my father-in-law's guidance, if I am careless and underestimate the enemy, maybe this game will be lost in your hands, concede, concede." ”
At this moment, Huang Yaoshi realized something and seemed to understand something.
Ouyang Ke, you are a deflated calculating me.
Huang Yaoshi exhaled and exhaled a long breath, and the anger in his chest was like a volcano about to erupt.
"Good! Good! Good! Ouyang boy, you have passed this test. Huang Yaoshi stood up, and a chilling light shot out of his narrow eyes: "But the next two levels are not so simple, let's see." ”
's strong personal quality made Huang Yaoshi not cheat, and it also made him not fight with Xia Wuji on the spot, taking advantage of the fact that he could still suppress his anger, his body turned around, and he quickly walked towards the outside of the peach blossom forest.
"Father-in-law, you haven't told me what the other two tests are?"
"How are you going? You can't be angry, right? No, no. ”
The shouts from behind kept shouting, but Huang Yaoshi's walked faster.
Stinky boy, you wait for me!
