Chen Yusheng didn't speak all the way. He was in a rather depressed mood. He didn't expect that he would work as a butcher for two years, and finally capsize in the gutter. A pig that is neither fierce nor powerful, he can't kill with a single sword.

It's nothing if you can't kill it, it's a big deal to make up a few more knives, but that pig actually kicked over two people and ran away from him without a trace.

It's a shame.

In fact, the shame is secondary, and the key is that this matter may have a profound impact on the future career. It's certain that the business will plummet, and if he doesn't get it, he'll quit the butcher business.

Our textbooks say that the eyes of the masses are clear. That's nonsense. The eyes of the masses are not bright at all, and their brains are not very good. If you do a hundred things well, people will take them for granted; If you do something bad, people will immediately make you notorious.

The masses are born with a vicious mentality, and they love to see others unlucky. The more unlucky you are, the happier they are.

When people are depressed, their internal thinking is active, and they will figure out a lot of truths; But the external sensation will become numb and even deaf. For example, the current Chen Yusheng. He didn't feel the missing person behind him at all.

Chen Yu didn't look back, and spoke to his partner Tang Shan, who had disappeared behind him for a long time:

"We were careless. A man shall not be a man, nor a pig. ”

There was no one to talk to in the back. Chen Yusheng waved his hand and continued: "We shouldn't judge people by their appearance. Really, this is true for chicks, and the same should be true for pigs. ”

There was still no one to talk to in the back. Chen Yusheng still said to himself:

"Didn't expect that, did you? We were defeated by a pig weighing less than 200 pounds. It's only two hundred pounds, and the two of us are almost three hundred pounds combined. ”

There is still no accompaniment in the back. There were a few naughty boys herding cattle on the side of the road, and one of the cows barked at Chen Yusheng, who was talking to himself, and lowered his head to continue grazing.

Chen Yusheng waved his hand again and said:

"Don't say we still have knives in our hands, even with our bare hands, we can crush it to death."

He changed his tone and continued:

"But it was stabbed and ran away. It's in full view. ”

The snotty naughty boys on the side of the road looked at Chen Yusheng, who was covered in dirty blood, talking to himself, with a look of horror on his face; Everywhere Chen Yusheng went, they fled like rats.

Chen Yusheng said unwillingly:

"Is it because we are not good at business? No, it's our bad luck. Others have been butchers all their lives, and it is estimated that they will not meet such a divine pig. ”

After saying that, he let out a long sigh. Keep walking. After walking three hundred meters, Chen Yusheng still couldn't help it, and asked without looking back:

"You say, do we have a way to remedy it?"

There was no sound behind him. Chen Yusheng continued:

"If we don't remedy it, we're done. Don't forget that our knife is still on the pig, which is equivalent to a martial arts master who roams the rivers and lakes, and was snatched away by someone else's personal weapon, how can he still have the face to mix in the rivers and lakes? ”

There was only the footsteps of Chen Yusheng in the back of his head. When he saw that no one responded, he grew angry:

"Aren't you usually quite nimble? I'd like to find a way. ”

Changing his tone, he asked:

"Now going up the hill and getting that wounded pig back, is it a remedy? At least you can pick up the knife, right? ”

After a pause, there was no response behind him, Chen Yusheng was finally completely angry, and turned around and yelled:

"You're fucking talking. Are you dumb? ”

After saying the whole sentence, he realized that there was no one behind him. I was so shocked that I almost lost my jaw, and I opened my mouth wide in an O-shape, and I couldn't close it for a long time.

He pushed his chin back into place with his fist, thought about it, and ran wildly in the way he had come.

Chen Yusheng ran to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village in one breath, and saw Tang Shan holding a boning knife in his hand, gesturing in front of a middle-aged man, and the man did not move, looking frightened.

Seeing that blood was about to be splattered on the spot.

Chen Yusheng was taken aback again, he didn't have time to catch his breath, and immediately crashed into Tangshan, and the two fell to the ground two meters away from the middle-aged man at the same time.

Tang Shan was thrown into pain, dizzy, and rolled on the ground twice, but still did not get up. Instead, Chen Yusheng lay on the ground and gasped for breath for a while, and slowly sat up.

He glanced at the middle-aged man who was still stunned, and couldn't see any crisis, so he asked Tang Shan on the ground:

"What's going on? I can't see it in the blink of an eye, and I still use the knife? ”

Tang Shan worked hard for a long time, and finally supported his upper body, but his mouth answered the question:

"Why don't you fucking walk and don't look at me?"

Chen Yusheng didn't know how to answer him, stared at the middle-aged man for a while, and asked Tang Shan:

"Who is this guy? It's not like it's from the village. How did you get into it? ”

Tang Shan has not yet answered. The middle-aged man came back to his senses at this moment, cleaned up the chessboard pieces on the ground indiscriminately, and without saying a word, he got up and left.

Tang Shankou shouted without hesitation:

"Stop him."

Chen Yusheng really jumped up, stepped in front of the middle-aged man with an arrow step, and shouted:

"Don't go yet, let's make things clear."

The middle-aged man saw that Chen Yusheng was covered in blood, with a dusty face, and several knives of various forms inserted in his waist, which was much more fierce than Tangshan. Frightened, his legs were weak, he didn't know how to move forward, he didn't know how to go back, and he stammered:

"I ...... He...... I ...... him. ”

Chen Yusheng didn't understand, but he didn't know what to ask, so he had to turn his head to look at Tangshan.

Tang Shan finally got up from the ground, picked up the sharp knife that rolled off the side, walked in front of the middle-aged man, and was ruthless again:

"The rules of the rivers and lakes are willing to gamble and lose. Do you understand? ”

The middle-aged man looked at Tang Shan, then at Chen Yusheng, and stopped talking. Chen Yusheng butcher was more impatient by nature, and he couldn't help but shout again:

"What the hell is going on?"

The middle-aged man was shocked by Chen Yusheng's momentum and took two steps back, opening his mouth but still didn't know what to say. In order to obtain further support from Chen Yusheng, Tang Shan briefly explained on the side:

"He gambled with me in chess, but he didn't admit it when he lost."

Chen Yusheng was furious when he heard this, thinking that I was unwilling to lose a pig for the people in the village, and I arrested you and sold you as pork, how could I have thought that when you were in the middle of life and death in your career, you were still in the mood to gamble chess with people on the side of the road?

If I had known that, I shouldn't have run back.

But Chen Yusheng was angry, but he did not blame Tang Shan. After all, friends can quarrel in private, but in front of outsiders, you still have to save face. So he exhaled and waved his hand, intending to calm things down, but on the surface he said viciously to the middle-aged man:

"You have to admit it. If you have money, give it quickly, if you don't have money, it's easy to do it, write an IOU, and then press my ID card to me. ”

Before the middle-aged man could answer, Chen Yusheng turned to Tangshan again:

"How much does he owe you?"

Tang Shan answered:

"He owes me a word."

Chen Yusheng was stunned for a moment, then he was furious, he couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled at Tang Shan:

"Damn, what is so important that it's worth your knife here? Are you sick in the head? ”

After yelling, he felt that it seemed a little inappropriate, so he turned to the middle-aged man:

"Hurry up, we're in a hurry."

After all, the middle-aged man has been in the rivers and lakes for a while, and he is a clever person, his momentum has been lost at the moment, but his intelligence is still there, although he is vicious, he is a reckless man, and he seems to be not on the same string as Tang Shan. After thinking about it, he said with a smile on his face:

"I walked the rivers and lakes to set up the endgame, and the consistent style is to pay five for one, pay in cash, and have nothing to do with it afterwards. But yours, brother, don't need money if you win, you have to ask me where the chess game came from. This makes it difficult for me. ”

This is not bad, but he cleverly ignored the rules that Tang Shan and him set up separately before playing chess, and in Chen Yusheng's ears, it was Tang Shan who was making trouble unreasonably.

Chen Yusheng was in a very bad mood today because of the failure to kill the pig, and he didn't have much patience to dwell on this kind of, so he ignored Tang Shan's feelings and said to himself:

"How much money did you lose at one to five?"

As soon as the middle-aged man heard that he was saved, he immediately took out five hundred yuan, stuffed it in Chen Yusheng's hand, and said:

"He lost a hundred, I lost five hundred. The rules of the rivers and lakes are willing to gamble and lose. ”

Tang Shan immediately heard the middle-aged man's clever argument, but for a while, it was quite difficult to explain the twists and turns to Chen Yusheng. He had been talking in his heart for a long time, and before he could speak, Chen Yusheng had already taken over the money.

Chen Yusheng snapped his fingers at Tang Shan:

"Let's go, it's not too early."

Tang Shan was very unwilling, and forced the middle-aged man to tell the whereabouts of the chess game. Thinking about it again, this person is extremely strict-mouthed, and he didn't say it just now, but now in front of a third person, he is even more reluctant to say it clearly. Do you really want to stab him with a knife?

Besides, the way this game of chess came from is likely to take a few turns before it reaches the hands of this middle-aged man. It is estimated that even the middle-aged man himself knows little about the source of the chess game.

So Tang Shan opened his mouth and closed it again, glared at the middle-aged man viciously, followed Chen Yusheng's footsteps, and walked away reluctantly.

The middle-aged man watched Tang Shan and Chen Yusheng disappear at the foot of the mountain, took out his mobile phone from his body, saw that there was no signal at all, and climbed to the top of the big banyan tree like a monkey, and the signal icon barely recovered.

He dialed a phone and said with a crying voice:

"Liars. You say that this game of chess is very powerful, and no one in the world can make it. But I was killed by this kid and lost my armor, how will I mix in the rivers and lakes in the future? ”

Unexpectedly, the other party was overjoyed when he heard it:

"That kid really won?"

The middle-aged man was very angry:

"Nonsense, I lost five hundred yuan, you have to reimburse me."

The other party asked urgently:

"Did you write down the footwork?"

Middle-aged man:

"That kid's chess moves are so weird, how can he not remember them? Okay, you have to reimburse me for 500 yuan. ”

The other party asked:

"You didn't reveal anything to that kid, did you?"

Middle-aged man:

"Who do you think of me? Walking the rivers and lakes, the letter is the first. He can't pry my mouth open even if he kills me. But you'll have to reimburse me five hundred. ”

The other party is very impatient:

"It's so useless, a thousand words are only thinking about his five hundred yuan. It was done, and there were 50,000 yuan. Don't talk nonsense yet, and quickly write down the moves with a pen. ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone. The middle-aged man slipped down the tree, took out a notebook and a pen from the broken bag beside him, and began to recall in detail the various changes on the chessboard just now.

Chen Yusheng walked a long way depressed before turning around and returning the five hundred yuan to Tang Shan, and mocked:

"You are awesome, you can't kill a pig, but you win back 500 yuan on the side of the road."

Tang Shan took the money, but his mouth was dissatisfied:

"You're fucking on your own, ruining my business."

When Chen Yusheng heard this, he was furious:

"Damn, if it weren't for me, would you be able to get these five hundred yuan back? That person is obviously an old man, if he cheats, even if you are covered with knives, you may not be able to beat others. ”

Tang Shan thought to himself, this is not a lie. Playing chess in this deserted place, the middle-aged man obviously came prepared, and if he really wanted to do it, it was still difficult for Tangshan to deal with this person, and if the other party had a hidden helper, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Thinking that the other party came prepared, Tang Shan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and blurted out:

"Fuck you've been tricked, this guy is here to test me."

Chen Yusheng was stunned on the spot, not knowing what he said.

Tang Shan seemed to have suddenly lost his mind, and then said to himself:

"Wrong, wrong. Two years ago, the old man was wrong. They weren't looking for a chess game scrap, it was just a smokescreen. ”

Tang Shan finally sighed:

"Their real purpose is to find the right way to play the endgame."
