Mo Yan and Rena's grandfather also walked to the dining table, the unpleasant atmosphere just now had disappeared, Rena made a table of meals, this fragrance, Mo Yan almost drooled when he smelled it, and said without admiration: "Rena, your cooking skills can be compared to the boss's cooking skills, this fragrance, this appearance, hey, I don't know what words to use to praise you." ”

Facing Mo Yan's flamboyant tongue, Rena was embarrassed to be praised, blushing and said, "There is so much nonsense, okay, let's eat quickly." ”

The grandfather on the side was also very happy to listen, so he sat down first, picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of meat and sent it to his mouth.

Mo Yan also sat down quickly, picked up chopsticks and had a food contest with Rena's grandfather, like two hungry wolves, his mouth barely stopped, and his mouth was already stuffed with all kinds of rice and meat dishes and continued to stuff it into his mouth.

Rena looked at her grandfather still competing with young people, and couldn't help but laugh: "Grandpa, slow down, your body is important!!"

However, grandpa didn't pay attention to his meaning at all, and continued to compete with Mo Yan, Rena had to eat the meat and vegetables slowly, watching the meat and vegetables on the table being eaten up by both of them, Rena secretly regretted and said: "I feel sorry for my dishes, I knew that I should keep some ingredients and eat them for supper at night, alas." ”

Fortunately, the stomachs of the two people in the food competition were almost bursting, leaning on the back of the chair, and kept rubbing their stomachs with their hands, Mo Yan also hiccuped loudly, and Rena's grandfather was panting heavily, and he was tired and panicked with this way of eating just now.

"Grandpa, you're the first time I've met such a strong teammate, and it's really a treasure knife that is not old, haha!!" Mo Yan praised while burping.

Rena's grandfather reached for a toothpick, picked his teeth and said, "That's, I think I was still the champion of foodies back then, I easily ate 50 meat buns, and I finished eating 10 when others only ate 10, what do you say, hehe." ”

Listening to their conversation, it was difficult to interject, and Rena could only continue to eat the leftovers they had eaten, with a helpless expression on her face.

After dinner, Rena cleaned up the dining table by herself, washed the bowls and plates, and after washing, she also took a book from the bookshelf and read it on the dining table, Rena's grandfather and Mo Yan also rested about the same, and they were bored when they were idle, Rena's grandfather walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took a big square box out, and then returned to the dining table and sat down.

The square box is clean and new on the surface, but judging from the iron ring on the side, it looks like it has been used for a long time, the iron ring is covered with a layer of red rust, the box is closed in two layers, there are two clips on each side, and the barb that is clamped on the lower layer, when Rena's grandfather breaks the two clamps with his hand, the upper layer immediately opens along the spring.

Then he took out the contents of the box, took it out and looked at it, Mo Yan immediately knew what it was, and took out a chess board, but then when Rena's grandfather took out the chess pieces again, Mo Yan didn't dare to determine whether it was chess or not, but he often saw Uncle Wang and Uncle Li next door playing chess to recognize it as a chess board at a glance.

This chess is different from the chess of the People's Kingdom, the chess pieces are disc-shaped and have four colors, red, white, blue, and black, Mo Yan was very curious and asked: "Grandpa, what kind of chess piece is this, why haven't I seen it?"

"You're from the kingdom of people, it's strange to see it, this is the element chess of the demon country, the four colors represent the four elements, red represents fire, blue represents water, white represents light, and black represents darkness. Rena's grandfather said in detail.

This chess piece is still divided into elements, and it looks much more fun than ordinary chess, Mo Yan then asked: "What is the way to play, teach me grandpa." ”

Rena's grandfather put the chess pieces on the board, one every other empty, and in the order just mentioned, the entire board was filled in an instant, and Rena's grandfather continued: " Every two elements will be mutually restrictive, fire overcomes water, light overcomes darkness, fire and water and light and darkness will not restrain each other, so, we each choose two elements, such as my fire and dark, each chess piece can only move one step, if I a fire chess piece and your water chess piece touch together, must be rescued by the light chess piece, if surrounded by my four fire chess pieces, the light chess piece has not come, your water chess piece will be eliminated, and the opponent's chess piece will be eliminated to win, just these rules, practice to learn faster. ”

After speaking, Rena's grandfather took the lead, the letters from A to E were engraved horizontally above the panel lattice, and the numbers from 1 to 13 were engraved vertically on the left, Rena's grandfather reached out and moved a fire chess piece in the upper left corner down a step, but Mo Yan hadn't figured out the rules yet, he only knew that he was water and light, and moved without strategy, and the first game had not exceeded ten minutes, and Mo Yan's chess pieces were already running out, so he had to admit defeat and continue.

fought several times in a row, although they all ended in failure, but Mo Yan also played more and more skillfully, and gradually became more and more strategic, this game took half an hour, but the ending was decided, and he had no choice but to admit defeat.

The bell on the wall rang, "Knock ~ Knock ~" struck a total of 10 times, it was 10 o'clock in the evening, and I had been playing elemental chess for 2 hours unconsciously, and my eyes were sore, Rena's grandfather rubbed the bridge of his nose between his eyes with his thumb and forefinger, relaxed his eyes, and then put the elemental chess back into the box, stood up and beat his back, and said tiredly: "Let's get here today, and I'll talk to you another day to learn chess skills, and tomorrow you have to go to the Magic Garden to report, go to bed early." ”

Similarly, Rena's grandfather's words were said to Rena and Mo Yan, Rena's body was a little sour after reading the book for so long, she stretched her waist and yawned, and said while yawning: "Then I'll go to the bath first, and I'll sleep in the bath, and I'll be trapped to death." ”

Mo Yan also leaned back in the chair, stretched his waist and said: "This elemental chess really spends brain cells, and after only two hours, I feel that my brain cells are dead enough, and now my brain is still a little dizzy." ”

Rena's grandfather turned around and walked to the drawer of the desk, put the box back in the position just now, and said with a smile as he walked: "Young people just can't do it, I'm dizzy after a while, when I played elemental chess with that old Li, nothing happened all afternoon, and the winner has not been scored, you should be a little weak." ”

"Yes, yes, when I am super good at chess, I will fight with my grandfather for hundreds of rounds. Mo Yan didn't want to quarrel with Grandpa Rena now, his energy was about to run out, so he just lay on the dining table, and the whole person was motionless at the table as if he was paralyzed.

I wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, my body still had mud and sand left, and I was itchy when I slept, so I had to wait for Rena to wash herself before washing, and I went to sleep quickly after washing, I was really tired enough.

Mo Yan suddenly thought of something, raised his head, and found that Rena's grandfather was wearing a magic robe, and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, I didn't ask you about something just now, are you free now?"

"Oh, what's the matter?" asked Rena's grandfather, who had put on his robes, turned to the chair in front of the table and sat down.

"You just said that the demon kingdom is shrouded in dark magic again, does this mean that something similar has happened before?" Mo Yan asked with a focused point.

Rena's grandfather's face changed again, his brows were furrowed, Mo Yan was afraid that he had angered his grandfather by saying the wrong thing just now, so he said: "Grandpa, if I say the wrong thing again, I should not have asked, don't be angry"

Rena's grandfather gradually recovered his face at this time, took a deep breath and said: "I was only 10 years old that time, and 10 years old was in the happy period of childhood, but I was already fighting, and the development of various countries is not as rapid as it is now, and the war can be said to be no, that is the demon country is full of ** The breath of the demon country at that time did not exist, only the strongest person to rule the demon country, the strongest person is also learning black magic, the counter-devouring effect of black magic is extremely strong, and soon this person loses his mind and often threatens the disobedient with force. ”

Saying this, Rena's grandfather gasped and said, " It has lasted for half a year, in this half a year, if I don't fight to protect myself, maybe I won't stand here, people who learn white magic continue to specialize, and fight with the strongest person of black magic, seize the position of power, but under the influence of black magic, people of white magic win by outwitting, the first thing is to prohibit the study of black magic, seal and hide black magic from now on, and let time to precipitate this matter, so as to protect those who have not entered the demon to learn black magic, in order to re-normalize the demon country, after many years, now only people of the older generation like me know that there is this incident, and the new students don't know, tell you, I believe that you are a human being, in case something happens in the future, so that you can protect my granddaughter, and my granddaughter's life is not good. ”

As she spoke, Rena's grandfather's eyes began to moisten, and Rena also just finished taking a shower and walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas, but Rena's grandfather didn't seem to want his granddaughter to see that his eyes were already full of tears, so he immediately got up and faced the door, walked straight, his voice was strong, and said calmly: "Granddaughter, I'll go back first, you go to bed early, let's go." ”

Mo Yan's first reaction was to know that Rena also had a tragic fate, but he didn't know what it was, but Mo Yan didn't want to ask Rena directly, so as not to mention her sadness, and let Rena ask again when she wanted to tell herself.

Looking at the back of her grandfather leaving in a hurry, a little strange, Rena hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with grandpa, he won't look back?"

Definitely can't tell Rena that his grandfather almost cried just now, so he can't lose his old man's face, Mo Yan thought of other excuses and said: "Your grandfather said that he was going to find the old man Mingwei to catch up with the old man, it's okay, I'm going to take a bath too, you go to sleep first." ”

Rena was a little skeptical, what was her grandfather doing with his old classmate at night, but her grandfather was eccentric, so she didn't think much about it, she just lay down on her bed, closed her eyes and said, "Then I'll sleep first." ”
