Chapter 17: Playing Chess
"In that case, finding half of the Xuanjin Blade is a matter of life and death in the Netherworld! Brother Jin, what do you need me to do, just ask. Eleven said.
"Brother Eleven is willing to help, that's great! I'm here," Jin Jiu said happily.
At this moment, a quick knock on the door next door interrupted the conversation between the two. I only heard the knocker shouting: "Benefactor, benefactor, open the door!
Eleven heard this voice and felt familiar, and thought to himself, "Isn't this the person who helped him play chess today? How does he know that I am here!"
Just thinking about it, Miao stood up, swayed through the curtain behind her, and shouted, "Here, here! Don't knock!" After a while, there was a conversation between the two.
"Why are you again, didn't you win?" Miao said, her tone very impatient!
"Benefactor, you are doing well, playing chess with that man today, thanks to your guidance a few days ago, I won against that person! With the money I won, I treated my mother, but I never thought that Mr. Medicine insisted on raising the price, saying that if it was a day late, he would have to double the money, and you also know that for the sake of your mother, the family has already been ruined, and it is really nothing! Can you give me some more advice, and go and play against that man tomorrow! I will never forget your great kindness!" the man said intermittently.
"Oh, actually, I don't have any skills, I really can't do anything about this!" Miao deliberately raised her voice and said, as if she was very ashamed and regretful.
"Benefactor, you are doing well!" the man wept, and fell to his knees as he spoke.
"Don't be like this! I can't help it, it doesn't mean that others don't have a problem! The person who helped you lose the last son today, I think it's okay!" Miao said seriously, with a serious expression, pursed his lips, and nodded from time to time, "Well, he will definitely be able to!"
"But I don't know where he is!" said the man, still with a sad face.
"I'll help you ask, I see that he has a good face, and he will definitely help you!
"Benefactor, please," the man suddenly shouted, getting up and walking behind Miao tremblingly. It turned out that Eleven didn't know when to walk behind him.
"You don't have to, I'll help you!" Eleven said, picking the man up.
"Well, that's right, so let's do it, I'll help you play tomorrow, of course, the money you win will definitely be yours! As for you, he must know all about today's chess moves, and if you suddenly win too easily tomorrow, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others." Miao said with a smile and walked up to Eleven, "Brother Eleven, you said yes!" Miao thought that the two thugs during the day must have something to do with the chess player, since he made a move, Ten would definitely not show up and cause any unnecessary trouble. I stepped forward to play chess, and of course I had an abacus in my heart.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm afraid I'm stupid, I can't learn what you taught me!" the man said, relieved, worried that he wouldn't be able to learn anything about chess overnight.
"That's fine!" Eleven agreed.
"That's it, you hurry back and take care of your mother, and I will have a good discussion with this benefactor!
Eleven and Miao returned to the previous room and were about to speak, when they heard a "pop" outside the house, as if someone had fallen. And then there was no sound again!
"Brother Eleven, what did you say about the person who played chess with you today, how could you win him?" Miao asked.
"That man's chess skills are average, it's not difficult to beat him!" Eleven replied with a smile.
"Really, tell me how to win him!" Miao asked eagerly.
"The principle of chess art is like the law of change of all things in the world, and black and white are the yin and yang of the world! The chessboard is square, intersecting vertically and horizontally, just like the vast sky and the vast earth!
Miao and Jin Jiu tried their best to keep their eyes open and listen hard. It's like a student listening to a teacher talk about boring and boring definitions. It's like a code of conduct that is repeatedly emphasized every time a mistake is made. That's probably the time when people are most likely to get sleepy. After hearing this, Miao finally couldn't stand it anymore, and with a "poof", her head fell on the table, startling Jin Jiu on the side. Jin Jiu hurriedly and immediately pushed Miao, who was asleep.
With such a warm and detailed explanation, Miao immediately sat up straight and said, "What Brother Eleven said is really good! It is reasonable!" Jin Jiuyi echoed: "Well, it's really reasonable! You will definitely be able to win that guy tomorrow!"
"I haven't talked about it yet, how to break his method!" Eleven looked at the expressions of the two, a little inexplicable.
"Brother Eleven, in fact, I have always been very dull in terms of chess, so it's better to be like this, you can steal on my side tomorrow and teach me how to fall!" Miao said.
Before Eleven could answer.
"Well, Brother Miao, this aspect is really stupid! Let's recuperate, rest well, win the chess tomorrow, and then go to find half of the Xuanjin Blade together!" Jin Jiu said. "There's a bed next door, Brother Eleven, go sleep!"
After saying that, the two of them went to rest, Miao climbed onto the bed full of treasures, took a night pearl, and threw it to Eleven in order to illuminate the room next door. Jin Jiu walked behind the curtain. Seeing that both of them were asleep, Eleven held the Night Pearl in his hand, passed through the curtain, opened the door leading to the next door, found the bed, and slept on it.
Tossing and turning, Eleven couldn't sleep, not because of tomorrow's chess game, but because he thought of Xiaoting and Dayou. I don't know what happened to them after so many days. They slept on soft beds, and they might be leaning against the wet trees in the damp and icy night. I don't know if those people caught them. Thinking of this, Eleven had even more difficulty sleeping.
I looked at the roof where the night pearl shone with my eyes open, and I was in a daze. The night is getting deeper!
There was the sound of Jin Jiu snoring next door, I really didn't expect that he was only seven years old, and he didn't expect the cry to be so loud. Miao was talking in a dream, "Master, I miss you so much! Apprentice, my chess skills are soaring now, and if you win, you are not allowed to punish me, why do you let that fool come and catch me! Let me play for a few more days, it's fun outside! I have brought you a lot of fun! Hehe"
I don't know how long it took, but Eleven gradually fell asleep!
"Knock knock" A few gentle knocks on the door woke Eleven from his sleep.
"Benefactor, when are you going to get up?" the man said in a very low voice, for fear of disturbing them.
It turned out to be the same person from yesterday, and he was afraid of looking for them to help him play chess. He knew that Eleven and Thirteen hadn't left, and it seemed that he had been guarding the door for a long time!
Eleven called the door and saw the man standing in the doorway with a stiff smile on his face. Stick your head out to see the sun outside, it's almost noon.
Then the two had a conversation about the man's mother's condition. But the man was always a little distracted, and he couldn't say clearly, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or anxious to save his mother. Then Jin Jiu and Miao also lazily got up from next door and came to this room. After a while, the three of them followed the man, in a small boat, to a pier on the side of the avenue, and the road was still bustling with people, and then they bought some things and ate to their heart's content.
The four of them walked to the side of the road near where they had played chess yesterday, and the man was already waiting lazily, and looked at the four of them through the gap in the crowd. The guy who seemed to know that they were coming back and playing chess to save his mother suddenly lowered his head, didn't dare to say anything, and turned behind Jin Jiu. Suddenly I felt that there was one person missing, and it turned out that Eleven had been invisible to the side. When the man saw this, he became afraid. Tears rolled in his eyes. said, "What about others?"
Miao said: "It's me who helps you play chess! Look at mine. ”
The man trembled and said, "Without him, without him, I and me"
"I'm next to you, but you can't see it, it's okay, Brother Miao will definitely be able to win him!" Eleven saw that he was very anxious, and said it so that he could rest assured.
Even though he heard this, the man still wanted to heat the ants on the pan, "But, I can't see you, my mother."
Jin Jiu was a little impatient with this person, and said: "A man shouldn't be like this! Cowering, like an old woman, crying, like a little girl!"
The three of them didn't care what happened to him, and the man who played chess walked over. Miao only thought about winning that guy, the scenery, Jin Jiu only thought about winning him, and went to find half of the Xuanjin Blade, Eleven thought about winning him, so he could get the money and go to his mother.
The three of them surrounded him, and an idle old man behind him shouted, "Come and see, two people are here to play chess! Haha, white ugly, I won't lose again today!" As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people followed and surrounded him.
The person opposite, everyone called him "white ugly", one is that he uses white zi every time he plays chess, but this person is not very old, but he has gray hair, and he looks very ugly.
In the noisy conversation and laughter of everyone, the two began to play chess, and Miao said: "You first, I heard that you lost yesterday, you must be in a bad mood!"
The man didn't speak, and fell into Baizi, and Miao himself fell more than a dozen first, and gradually fell behind. A few people around him who knew how to play chess said: "Ah, the kid still has to learn for a few years!"
Miao was a little anxious, and said softly: "Brother Eleven, what about you?"
Eleven was silent, waiting for him to fall. Then more than a dozen hands went down, Miao gradually lost the enemy, and said in his heart: "Eleven, this guy, you won't understand, right! Alas, if you lose, you lose, it's not the first time! But I still won, and my heart is happy!" The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said to Bai Chou: "I have enough children, I want to show my true ability!"
Then he pulled the veil over his eyes and picked up the chess piece, and the people around him burst into laughter. "This kid is covered with his face, and now he is blindfolded, aren't you afraid of seeing your own son being eaten! Play chess! Haha" "Men must face it bravely!" "He's just a little hairy kid!" Haha, "Everyone, you say a word, I say a word."
"What do you know? This is the unity of human chess, it is the highest level of chess, and this chess piece is my eyes!" Miao exclaimed.
Jin Jiu was stunned, and sighed on the side: "Haven't you woken up yet?"
When Eleven saw it, he thought about breaking his plan, he wanted to see how Miao's chess skills were, but he didn't expect that he would do whatever he wanted with himself by his side. Now that we're here, we have to help him. I have been with the master for so many years. If you don't look at chess, you can only do mental arithmetic, but even mental arithmetic has to watch the chessboard fall. Miao's index and middle fingers were holding the sunspot, moving slowly, Eleven took his wrist and stopped when he reached the ground.
Just like that, there are more than a dozen hands. Miao landed a chess piece and said, "Well, it landed here!" or chanted some blind spells.
The people around were full of surprises, and they were really masters, the decline just now was reversed step by step, and people and chess were one!
"Haha, white clown, you admit defeat!" Miao said.
You come and go again.
Suddenly, I heard a chess piece fall heavily on the chessboard. The white clown lowered his head and said, "I lost!"
"Oh, haha! I finally saw you lose!" Miao pulled off the veil that was blocking her face. "Look who I am!"
