"Wu tomorrow is old and confused, right?"

Everyone looked at the chess momentum on Wu Mingming's chess surface on the big screen, and couldn't help but sigh like this.

At this time, Wu Tomorrow may be just as these people think, he is probably old and confused.

Obviously, he had countless opportunities to capture any piece on the opposite board except the veteran at the beginning of the game, but he missed these countless opportunities while hesitating.

He was as careful as a beginner from the moment he came to the stage, and he also started from the chess game like a hypocrite, trying to express something on the board.

This almost one-sided chess game is also obviously devoid of passion and attractiveness because of his hesitation.

If it weren't for the occasional switch on the big screen by the director a few times Wu Mingming retired to fund poor students for decades, the audience below would probably have been so negative Wu Mingming's scolding dog.

"Why don't you eat seeds?" Yang Zheng asked Wu Mingming on the other side in a low voice.

He unexpectedly didn't feel angry, and unexpectedly didn't feel any dissatisfaction, he put the speed of the fall, raised his head and looked at Wu Mingming calmly and said: "Hero, you should be indomitable, not like you are now, don't dare to kill!" ”

……

Fifty years ago today, Leng Shan produced a chess genius.

That chess genius was able to play against an old man who had played chess for decades at the age of eight, and at the age of ten, he won the professional chess player invited by the TV station and became famous all over the world.

When he was fifteen years old, he was invited by the TV station to go to the capital to take the professional chess player exam, and he swore to heaven and earth with 30 eggs raised by the villagers on his back that when he was successful, he would definitely let Leng Shan out of poverty, and the villagers would be able to eat eggs every day.

But for so many years, he has not returned to Lengshan once.

Forty years ago, a teenager also appeared in Lengshan, although his chess skills were not as amazing as the former, but he was still sent out of the poor Lengshan by the kind villagers at that time, and he also stepped on the long-distance bus to the capital with thirty eggs on his back.

He didn't swear, nor did he cry tears of gratitude while saying goodbye, as the genius before him did.

He just left in silence and returned in silence ten years later.

……

"I'm not your hero at all, and if I were a hero, I wouldn't be here playing this boring game of chess with you." Wu Tomorrow finally spoke, he still did not choose to attack, but was still blindly defending.

has reached the middle game, and there is no shortage of chess pieces on Yang Zheng's side, on the other hand, Wu Mingming's side, there are only four chess pieces left.

"And what do you think you are?"

"Candles? Wrong? I don't deserve... I'm probably just a terminally ill old dog. ”

……

The boy returned to Cold Mountain, and he also brought back three hundred eggs.

Three hundred eggs were bought in a nearby town, and a five-cent one cost him a total of fifteen dollars.

At that time, he was teaching chess in a big city, and 300 eggs was equivalent to a month's salary.

He could have eaten eggs with different recipes in the big city every day, and he could have drunk coffee that the Lengshan people had never drunk every day.

But he chose to come back stubbornly.

The closed mountain village has different opinions about his return, and in any case, in everyone's minds, he may have become a loser.

After all, only losers would choose to give up the affluent life in the big city and return to this poor country for the rest of their lives.

But fortunately, most of the villagers were also kind, and they did not sneer at this loser, nor did they inquire about the past of this man who was no longer a teenager.

They just took the eggs and ate a full meal either fried or boiled or steamed.

……

"Old dog?" Yang Zheng listened to this peculiar adjective, he raised his head blankly and looked at the old man opposite, he asked in surprise, "Old dog?" How can anyone describe themselves like that? ”

"Don't look down on the old dog, the old dog is loyal, strong, and has faith."

"Do you know what is the most important thing that changes your life?"

"What is it? Knowledge? Money? Status? Power? ”

"No, it's faith."

……

The boy has grown into a man, but Leng Shan is still the poor Leng Shan ten years ago.

Ten years can easily change a person, but it is difficult to change a village, a town, a mountain, or even a city.

Compared with what was said ten years ago, Lengshan has only one more road.

Although this road seems to carry the hope of all the people in the mountainous area, it has allowed countless young people who cannot bear poverty to learn to escape.

In the past ten years, there are few people left in the village who go out to work, and most of the people left in the village are old people and children.

As one of the few young people in the village, the man originally planned to make candles.

After all, when he was learning chess in the capital, he was forced by his teacher to learn Chinese characters, mathematics and other cultural classes that he had never been exposed to.

He also thought that what he had learned in the past ten years could at least teach Chinese and mathematics in primary school.

The town's school board was not happy to let the unlicensed teacher open a private school, warning the man and pointing to a deserted school not far away, telling him that the so-called loser should not meddle in his affairs.

He was surprisingly angry, but in the end he was helpless. Because even if he secretly opened the school, not many students were willing to go to school.

After all, in the impoverished place of Lengshan, countless children do not know the importance of reading, they are poor and afraid from the moment they are born, afraid that there is no light in their eyes, and they are afraid that what they think is the meaning of life is just to go out to work and earn money like their parents.

The elderly are also reluctant to let their children go to school, because then there is no one to do the farm work.

Just when the man was desperate, a man who had gone out to work returned to the village, he picked up the newspaper that reported the genius boy, and proudly shouted to the villagers: "Look, the genius has come out." ”

The man will probably never forget the yellowed newspaper that recorded the report of his predecessors who had slaughtered all sides in the chess world, and he will never forget that genius won the national championship and received a huge prize of 1,000 yuan.

That night, the whole village was boiling.

Although the genius never returned to the village, he did not repay the kindness of those thirty eggs.

But he is clearly a successful man, because he has a firm foothold in the capital.

That night, the man was drunk, and in his dream, he also had a gorgeous life like a genius.

But when he woke up, he had nothing but loss.

Just as he pushed open the door and was about to look for water to drink, he suddenly found that the door was crowded with old people and children.

The pair of eyes full of pleading, and the big rough hands holding only eggs, made the man go back to more than ten years ago in an instant.

He looked at them, and he was looked at by them.

For the first time, he seemed to have grasped the big hand that changed Leng Shan...
