When your hidden memories quietly open another door, you will go to a new unknown.

I gazed at the chessboard, which was made up of 19 horizontal and vertical lines, 361 eyes.

My head started to ache violently again. It felt like there was a force pulling me out of this plane.

"Focus, kid, don't be distracted while playing chess!"

What a child, my vision began to blur, and the voice of a middle-aged man kept repeating in my head.

After a while, I felt like I could open my eyes, but the scene in front of me was no longer the second floor of the chess shop.

In front of me there was only a table-style chessboard, scattered with black and white chess pieces.

----Go.

By the bright light, I saw a middle-aged man sitting across from me, with a serious expression that didn't seem to smile, wearing a striped shirt and a mechanical watch in his right hand. It's so familiar and so strange.

"Kid, what are you thinking, remember that all you have in mind is the game right now." The man's voice was deep and powerful.

I raised my right hand, yes I felt that it was me, and although I couldn't control my actions, I knew very well that I was the one he was playing against, the child in his mouth.

But just like the spectators, watching them take and drop their children, the rhythm is so fast that people can't breathe. Although I couldn't understand what they were playing now, I knew very well that I was playing well and felt that I had surpassed the middle-aged man. Every time I finished, he was always a pair

It was very difficult, and he rubbed the sunspot in his hand vigorously, and it didn't take long for him to throw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box.

"Good." The man began to sort out the chessboard, "Although I was a little anxious at the beginning, I was very good at this hand, and then I played more and more calmly. ”

I watched him move the pieces quickly.

"Sure enough, three-and-a-half, you won. By the way, how many games have you won since you learned? ”

I didn't speak.

"Remember children, life is like chess, and strategizing can win a thousand miles!"

"Okay, how old is the child, don't talk about it, the meal is ready."

A woman's voice came from behind the door, so familiar and yet so unfamiliar.

My head ached again, and I held my head with my right hand, as if my thoughts were being dragged by something. The scene before me is back to the second floor of the chess shop.

What's going on, is it a dream or a memory, I really don't know.

"I said you or not?" The blonde woman gestured to the timer on the table.

I came back to my senses and looked at the chessboard carefully. I didn't know how to play Go, but I suddenly felt like I could understand the game.

I took out a piece from the box with my right hand. Calmly placed on the chessboard.

At this point, I felt that the people around me didn't seem to approve of my move. Am I gut feeling wrong?

"Although this hand block is exquisite, it is difficult to prevent the attack of the sunspot."

A middle-aged woman with glasses said.

Everyone agreed. "yes, if you lean here for a while, you might be able to get back a glance and a half." An old man whispered.

After five moves, the blonde woman said with a smile while lifting her hand, "I thought he was a master, but it seems that he is nothing more than that."

"It seems that Tian Yuan can't hold it anymore. It is estimated that the mid-game will determine the winner in this way. ”

The middle-aged woman with glasses had already left the chess table and went to another table to start replaying.

Several old men also went to the other tables to play chess and began to chat.

"Teacher Wang can't win, this young man seems to be talking big."

"But isn't it, that blonde woman has never lost since she came."

"By the way, you know her name?"

"I don't know, she never seemed to say it."

"When this game is over, let's go have tea."

"Good, good... Good.... ”

My mood became more and more tense and I slowly placed the pieces on the board.

"Wait, young man, this chess hand ......" Mr. Wang looked nervous.

What's wrong, am I wrong? Have I already lost? Well, I was about to pick up the pineapple bread on the table and get up and leave.

"Unbelievable, this hand is so good." Teacher Wang's voice made me put down the pineapple bread again.

Dumbo? I'm not called Xiaofei... Who is Dumbo? Could it be that the blonde woman is called Xiaofei?

Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered the scene in my mind before, and it seems that the word Xiaofei also appeared.

"Old man, have I already lost?" I looked at Mr. Wang's surprised expression.

"Lose... How is that possible, young man, this step of yours is unbelievable. It's about to turn defeat into victory! “

"Really, I don't even know myself."

"Young man, you really know how to joke, you don't know how to play chess?"

I know I'm having a hard time explaining it.

The blonde woman picked up two sunspots from the chess box.

What the? Can you still play two pieces in Go? I watched the blonde woman's thoughtful expression. My mind was full of questions.

I followed her example and took out two pieces from the chess box. Just as I picked up the chess pieces, Mr. Wang patted me on the shoulder, and the chess pieces fell into the chess box again.

"Young man, what are you doing here?"

Do what? I'm just learning from her. I thought to myself.

At the same time, the blonde woman placed two chess pieces in the lower right corner of the board.

"I lost."

"I won? You're not kidding, are you? I pointed to myself.

"Who has time to joke with you. You call sincerity? ”

"Pretty much." I can't believe I'm going to win yet.

The blonde woman got up and left the table. I was about to go downstairs.

I looked at her back: "I don't even know what to call you?"

"Li Ruina." The blonde woman hurried downstairs. He walked out of the chess store quickly.

"Young man, it's incredible that you didn't lose. Do you still have time? Can you play a few more sets? ”

"Yes, young man, let's go to the next game."

The old men before said to me. I glanced up at the sky outside the window.

"It's a little late today, I still have something to do, let's play chess with a few people in the future."

After that, I walked quickly downstairs.

Yan Xiaoxue was still downstairs looking at the Go teaching books seriously. I hurriedly pulled her by.

"Don't look at it, it's not too early. Let's go. ”

Yan Xiaoxue hurriedly put away the book in her hand and left the chess store with me.

"Are you playing chess upstairs?" Yan Xiaoxue looked at me sincerely.

"What's wrong?" I looked at her.

"Teach me how to play chess."

Damn, you're interested in this. I walked briskly out of the bustling shopping street. I only heard Yan Xiaoxue behind me constantly arguing for me to teach her to play Go.

Li Ruina, Li Ruina, this name has lingered in my heart for a long time. It's like the sunset in front of my eyes.
