Chapter 295: Go and Starlight

"Have you ever played a game?!"

At the critical moment, Ye Xi suddenly shouted.

Cang Wu, who was interrupted for the second time, withdrew his gaze to look at the red moon and turned to look at Ye Xi. A pair of eyes that have been washed by Yuehua have a tendency to become vertical pupils.

The air seemed to be frozen.

Broken Ling on the side held his breath nervously and quietly held the bone knife.

He didn't know what level this shark who suddenly appeared and was suspected of being the sea lord, he only knew that she was very strong, and if she got angry, I was afraid that Wu would not be able to beat her.

Ye Xi stood up under the suffocating pressure.

He drew his tooth knife and drew nineteen horizontal lines of equal distance on the ice with the tip of his knife, and nineteen vertical lines on top of it.

Then use the tip of the knife to make nine small dots at the intersection.

After doing this, Ye Xi thought about it everywhere, untied the animal skin bag on the sled, and turned out a large handful of white beans and red beans from it.

White beans are a kind of beans found by Ye Xi in the seed tower, as round as beads, each one is as big as a longan, and the taste is similar to soybeans after cooking.

The red beans are the same color and shape as the red beans in the previous life, but they are much larger, about the size of a coin.

Ye Xi counted one hundred and eighty each, put one hundred and eighty red beans in front of the mist, and took one hundred and eighty white beans himself.

"This game is called Go, the one drawn on the ice is called the chessboard, the red beans you take are called red chess, and the one I take is called white chess. Ye Xi said slowly.

The vertical pupils that were about to condense into lines gradually disappeared and returned to their normal circles, tilting their heads and looking curiously at the chessboard in front of them.

Ye Xi sat cross-legged next to the chessboard and said: "The chess pieces should fall on the intersection of the chessboard, and after the chess pieces fall, they can no longer move to other positions. ”

Saying that, Ye Xi took the "white seeds" in his hand, and took a few misty "red seeds" on the chessboard for a few steps, and then explained the rules:

"Red first white later, so that the pieces are placed on the intersection in turn, if the pieces are placed like this, then they are connected, and the empty point next to it in a straight line is the "qi" of this piece. If there are discolored pieces on the points immediately adjacent to the line, there is no qi here. If a piece loses all its energy, it cannot exist on the board. ”

"In this way, the qi of these red pieces is occupied by the white pieces, so these chess pieces will be removed together. Ye Xi demonstrated.

Seeing that the fog had returned to normal, Xuan Ling relieved his heart, withdrew his hand pressed on the bone knife, and sat next to the chessboard to listen to Ye Xi talk about the rules of Go.

But he was a little dizzy when he listened to it, he knew how to read quickly, but he was a little confused about what the rules of Go were listening to, and he didn't understand what was so fun about these lines and beans in front of him, it was not as interesting as hunting beasts.

In fact, it is very rare for Duan Ling to be able to listen to Ye Xi in his heart.

If it were other primitive people, listening to these cumbersome and complicated rules, I am afraid that they would have angrily and irritated to flatten the chessboard and the beans together and shouted:

"What the hell is this!!"

Ye Xi was also sick and rushed to the doctor, and he didn't think about whether Cangwu would be interested in Go, just thinking that he could divert her attention.

Ye Xi twisted the red beans on the ice chessboard one by one and put them back in front of Cangwu, and put the white beans back in front of him.

"Play?" Ye Xi asked.

Cang Wu's eyes did not leave the chessboard, she stared at the chessboard and chess pieces with interest, and immediately nodded when she heard the words.

In the watery night, the two sat opposite each other on the icy ice across a drawn chessboard, playing chess by the bright starlight in the sky.

The cold air on the ice was steaming like a cloud.

The biting cold air invaded the body along the clothes and skin, and if ordinary people wore such thin clothes, they might have frozen to death, but the two of them could play Go with a comfortable face.

Ye Xi was worried that Cangwu was not very good at playing at first, so he deliberately let her, who knew that Cangwu quickly figured out the rules of Go, and absorbed the essence of Ye Xi's chess style in the game, and soon came out of the blue.

This Go was taught by Ye Xi in his previous life, and he used it to dispatch loneliness in the ward, and he was not very proficient. After five rounds, Ye Xi had a hard time playing against Cangwu.

He was sure that no one in this world would have played Go, so Cangwu's sharp chess move could only be learned by himself just now.

He smiled bitterly, are the mermen so smart, no wonder the mermen are an existence that even the super tribe is afraid of.

The night was dark.

Broken Ling had gone to sleep wrapped in a blanket of animal skin, and the wolves beside the sleigh fell asleep in a ball to warm each other, and even Quack and the silver hyena fell asleep.

When Ye Xi finished playing the sixth game of chess, he looked at the fog that was still full of energy, and finally begged for mercy gently: "Let's play again tomorrow?"

Cangwu glanced at Ye Xi and nodded.

When Ye Xi wanted to clean up the chessboard, Cangwu stopped him: "I'll play by myself, you go to sleep." ”

Cangwu likes to sing but doesn't like to talk, this is already the longest thing she has said when she sees Ye Xiqi.

Ye Xi knew that with Cangwu's strength, it would probably make no difference to her whether she slept or not, and she didn't dissuade her, so after saying goodnight, she put away the animal skin blanket and went to sleep.

Before falling asleep, Ye Xi lay on the ground, and the last picture he saw was Cangwu sitting next to the chessboard, with his long eyelashes hanging down, concentrating on playing chess.

The past habits made Ye Xi sleep very shallowly.

Half-asleep, half-awake, he heard the sound of light footsteps, as far away as near, as subtle as snow falling to the ground.

The vigilance he had developed from sleeping in the wild for a long time made him open his eyes immediately.

But there was no shadow of the beast and the insect approaching around, everything was normal, except for the fog - the person who was originally sitting next to the chessboard and playing chess did not know when he disappeared.

Ye Xi stood up, and couldn't find her shadow in all directions.

Thinking of the Mermaid Lake, the purpose of her trip, his heart jumped, and he immediately rushed to the direction of the Mermaid Lake.

And the fog is indeed in Mermaid Lake.

The bright stars in the sky blinked in the night, and the lake was also reflected with starlight, as if the heaven and the earth were upside down, and the river of stars descended on the lake.

Cangwu turned his back to Ye Xi, standing in the center of this starry lake, looking down at the lake.

The beautiful shadow against the beautiful picture scroll of heaven and earth is enough to make anyone hold their breath.

Ye Xi's breath was indeed holding his breath, but while his mind was in a mess, he was still wondering, why could she stand on the water?

Sensing the movement, Cang Wu standing in the lake looked back in surprise, and when she saw Ye Xi standing on the shore of the lake, she blinked, and suddenly turned around and slowly waded towards Ye Xi from the center of the lake.

The corners of the mist-like silk clothes spread softly, and the long black silk hair was swept up by the breeze.

"You ......"

Looking at the fog that had arrived in front of him, Ye Xi opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, the fog had already come over and took Ye Xi's hand.

There was suddenly a soft and cold thing in his palm, and Ye Xi felt like he was holding a cloud, and he stepped on the surface of the lake with the strength of the fog.

After sliding automatically on the surface of the lake for two steps, Ye Xi realized that something was wrong and looked down.

This look shocked Ye Xi's scalp.

He asked why they could stand on the water! There were two hideous, ugly merfolk covered in scales who were happily wagging their tails and holding them up with their hands up!
