The old man said that chess can be a game, or it can be a person's dream for a lifetime.

Because, in this small chessboard in front of him, every chess player holding a chess game does not have to cater to anyone, nor does he have to care about anyone's gaze.

Because, chess is chess.

It has its rules, and it has its own freedoms.

The word freedom deeply shocked Lu Hongying at that time.

Although she has seen the word freedom countless times on TV and in textbooks since she was a child, she also has her own unique understanding of freedom. But why did the old man's lips say the word freedom have a kind of magic that convinces her?

For Lu Hongying, freedom is something that everyone is born to pursue, but the vast majority of people live a life that is not "free", because the price of freedom is selfish abandonment of concern.

It is impossible for people not to be concerned, from the country's parents and families, to their careers, hobbies, and friends, these are all people's concerns.

People change because of their concerns, and they also become unable to be free because of their concerns.

Only extremely selfish people will give up their "concerns" to find true freedom.

But in chess, there should probably be no such thing as freedom.

After all, chess has rules, wins and losses, and the concern in the minds of the chess players behind the chessboard.

But why, the old man in front of him would say that chess has freedom?

She shook her head in confusion, she wanted to refute, but found that she couldn't say anything to refute at all. She wanted to question it, and she also found that she was not qualified to question anyone at all.

She looked at the chessboard in front of her.

She sat down, then picked up the chess pieces, just like more than ten years later, trying to use chess to express her true thoughts.

……

"That's not right." Dongdong was pulled back to reality from thousands of thoughts in an instant.

She looked at the situation on the chessboard at this time, and she inadvertently dropped a few drops of cold sweat.

She suddenly found that her original advantage on the chessboard became confusing again because of her general's voice.

"Endgame?" The experienced Yang Zheng spotted the problem at a glance.

That's right, the chess game presented in front of everyone at this time is an unpopular endgame.

I don't know when this player named Lu Hongying slowly mastered the initiative on the chessboard.

But when you think about it, it's not an accident.

Because maybe she was ready to pull her opponent into her own endgame from the beginning.

Her chess game is indeed very open-minded and pure.

It even reminded many onlookers of their simple self when they first learned chess in the past.

But whether it's the arena or the world, it's not too friendly to pure and innocent people.

Some people are born to think that simple people are stupid, kind, and deceivable.

There are also people who will take advantage of other people's simplicity, kindness, and honesty to seek their own interests, and finally do not forget to step on those who are regarded as "leeks" and "stupid" in their eyes.

They firmly believe that these good people will never hold grudges and will never take revenge.

They also firmly believe that there is something hateful about the wretched.

They use this idea to accumulate wealth, fame, freedom, and even the dreams that they have always talked about.

But they also seem to forget that not every kind person chooses to swallow their anger and "forgive" others after experiencing something bad.

This world is not only black and white.

In this world, there is still "cause and effect".

Just like Lu Hongying, she originally planned to use her kindness to embrace the strange world, even if the world only gave back to her a sunshine and a hope. She also never felt regret or resentment.

To be more precise, in the face of injustice, she has always resented only her incompetent self.

This also led to the fact that after she met the old man who changed her life, she also found her own chess path.

This chess path is exactly what the old man said that day.

She still remembers that she and the old man played three games of chess that day, and she also lost three whole games.

At that time, she looked at her miserable record and complained about her incompetence.

But the old man told her with his lips, asking her to look directly at her inner self.

She didn't know what her inner self was, until the fourth game of chess, she looked at the most beautiful chess pieces in her memory, remembered her grandmother, she finally habitually fell her grip like before, and walked out of the chess path that was once unproductive in the eyes of others, but always looking forward to the future.

It was her simple and pure chess path that won the old man opposite in the fourth game of chess.

Finally, at the end of the fourth game, she suddenly understood what freedom the old man was talking about.

The so-called freedom is the self that she has always followed her heart.

Man cannot live to be free, but her mind, her heart can be free.

Chess, as a carrier, can also give her real freedom in life.

At least when playing chess, she can forget all the unpleasant things, and she can also forget the fact that she is deaf and dumb, and use the chess pieces in chess to listen, see, say and do.

She will probably always remember the last words the old man said to her.

That sentence is, chess is like life, a kind person, her chess will be full of righteousness and freedom that ordinary people do not have.

The chess of a good person is also an invulnerable chess.

Her chess is indeed flawless.

Because all her opponents, in the face of her kindness, purity and integrity.

They are all greedy and selfish, they are merciless, greedily eat her big chess player, and also laugh at her low chess skills.

But they forget that the "cause and effect" in the chess world is far more cruel than the "cause and effect" in reality.

At least, the price of greed, as it is now.

Deadly yet powerless.

Dongdong actually had the hope that she could stop the trend of this game of chess in the middle, and from the moment she had the idea of starting over and reflecting on when she became so radical, if she could learn to calm her impetuous heart at that time, then this game of chess would not fall into this moment of "endgame".

But people, if they haven't experienced enough pain to be incomprehensible to life.

Don't expect to be able to "stop your losses in time".

Life is always fair.

The main theme of this world will always be the same.

However, Dongdong, who was already desperate, still did not let go of hope.

She is like a gambler, frantically expecting her opponent's mistakes.

As she desperately resisted her opponent's attack, she suddenly remembered how such a strong opponent could lose two sets in a row.

This question also slowed down the speed of her fall.

It also reminded her that when she first learned chess, she faced an invincible opponent, but her heart was unusually calm.
