When the credits are issued tomorrow, you can ask for leave.

In the afternoon, Lu Qi also received a notification.

Teacher Morse probably won't be coming to school tomorrow because of temporary matters.

Today's homework is almost as much as the amount of Saturday and Sunday, and now he has received information that Morse will not be back tomorrow, which can't help but give Luqi a new idea.

No kind of homework, don't write it.

Anyway, Morse won't come tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be a weekend, and the homework will be over by Monday.

At the same time, Miss Crownguard thought the same thing.

The two glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.

After school.

Lucci walked down the street, looking left and right in the shops.

Because these days, the family has consumed a lot of ingredients, so I have to come and buy some more.

And also to prepare for a new drink in the evening, you need to use some herbs.

Along the way, when he encountered something he wanted to buy, Lu Qi bought it directly.

Recently, he has not been short of money, although he has invested a lot of money in the printing press, but through the sale of ice cream in the private sector, he has made a lot of money.

When the selection was almost complete, Luki and Yuna carried it and returned home.

When I came back, it was only about six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still blue in the summer, when it was dark and late.

As soon as Luqi entered the courtyard gate, he saw Lux lying in a rocking chair, leisurely blowing in the wind, and ice cream on the table next to him, so uncomfortable.

Seeing Lu Qi come back, he just opened his eyes lazily and glanced at them, and then continued to close them.

Lu Qi couldn't tell for a moment whether this was his own home or hers.

Then he heard voices from the backyard again.

I couldn't help but glance over, and then I saw Fiona swinging her sword and slashing at the training dummy opposite.

He couldn't help but say, "You moved this thing here?" ”

Fiona stopped what she was doing and said, "Yes." ”

"It's a ghost, isn't this my backyard?"

Lucky was speechless.

He found that these two people were becoming more and more proficient in entering his house now.

Exiting the backyard, he saw Lux lying there again.

In silence, Luqi walked towards the kitchen, and when he had been busy for a while, he suddenly stopped.

Looking at his hands washing vegetables, he finally sensed that something was wrong.

I was almost distorted by the natural performance of the two of them.

I'm a prince!

How is this the same as a valet now?

No, we have to rectify the current atmosphere, and we have to find a way to sanction the two of them.

So he was busy and thought about it at the same time.

After a while.

Watching Lu Qi take out the four things wrapped in lotus leaves, then he took a shovel and began to dig a hole in the yard.

Lux, who was lying in a rocking chair, was a little curious.

"What are you doing?"

"Dinner."

"You want us to eat dirt at night?"

Lux was stunned.

Lu Qi glanced at her speechlessly: "If you really want to eat, you can do it." ”

Lux stopped talking, and watched as Luqi used a shovel to dig out the dirt, and then wrapped it around four lotus leaf bags, and when the cover was completely gone, it turned into four clods.

So he lit a fire in the courtyard and threw the four clods into the fire.

Then Luki instructed Yulna, "Look, don't let the fire go out." ”

"Yes." When Yuna heard this, she stood by the fire.

Luki wiped his sweat and found a chair to sit at the table next to the rocking chair.

Lux then asked, "How long will I have to wait for this?" ”

Luch replied, "Two hours." ”

"Oh."

Hearing this, Lux continued to close her eyes, ready to take a nap.

However, after a while, she heard a noise next to her.

Turning his head, he saw that Lu Qi was holding a wooden board in his hand, carving it with a small blade.

Suddenly asked with some curiosity: "What are you doing again?" ”

Lu Qi replied casually: "Chessboard." ”

"What chessboard? Military chess? Lux, interested, got up from her rocking chair, walked over and looked up.

The flag is the popular chess of Demacia, similar to chess.

After a few glances, Lux noticed that it didn't seem to be a military chess, because the gaps between the squares were not that large, and the lines were close together, and there were too many squares on them to count.

At this time, Lu Qi was basically carved, put it on the table and said with a smile: "Backgammon." ”

"Backgammon?"

"The rule is that each side holds a chess piece of one color, one person moves, the chess piece can only land at the intersection of the line, whether horizontal or vertical, as long as the five chess pieces can be connected together, it is considered a victory."

Lucci explained the rules in a general way.

The rules of backgammon are the least intellectually important things to understand.

Lux understood almost instantly, and she glanced at the chessboard, thinking to herself, it didn't feel difficult.

Then Lu Qi took out the black and white chess pieces that he had picked out early in the morning when he was shopping.

When Lux saw it, he suddenly said, "So you bought these for this that day?" ”

"Otherwise, do you think I'm wasting money?"

After Lu Qi separated the two colored pieces, he asked, "How about it, do you want two games?" ”

Hearing this, Lux smiled confidently: "Come on, but it's too simple." ”

"In that case, how about a little more punishment?"

Lu Qi also smiled when he saw her confident expression.

In this regard, Lux was naturally not afraid, and immediately nodded: "What punishment?" ”

Lu Qi took out a pen and said, "One stroke at a time, draw whatever you want." ”

Seeing this, Lux couldn't help but think of the little turtle that day, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, and thought for a while: "Then you let me try it first." ”

"Okay."

Lu Qi smiled and said casually, "You first." ”

Lux picked up a white letter and landed it directly in the middle of the board.

The rules of backgammon are really simple, it's just a matter of who joins a line first.

It's just the first set, the two played back and forth, and the fall can be said to be that you chase me.

In the end, it was Lux's carelessness that made Luki five sons.

Although she lost, Miss Crownguard had a lot of confidence in her heart.

"I think it's time to start punishing!"

She held her head up confidently, her eyes twinkling as if she had already figured out what she wanted to draw on Lucci's face.

So, the second set began.

This time, Lux's speed of chess has improved qualitatively, almost without thinking, as soon as Luqi made a move, she immediately followed.

Then, after just a dozen moves, her raised hand suddenly paused in mid-air.

Lux stared blankly at the black pieces on both sides of the board, which were connected into three, and realized that she seemed to have lost.

Seeing her expression, Lu Qi smiled and said, "Do you want me to continue?" ”

"I'm careless about this game, I'm willing to gamble and lose, you can draw it!"

Lux simply closed her eyes and leaned her face over.

Lu Qi was not ambiguous, opened the lid of the pen, and made a stroke directly on her forehead.

Lux, who didn't know what was on her face, was very unconvinced: "Come again!" ”

After some time, Fiona, who was about to rest for a while, came to the front yard.

Immediately, she saw Lux and Luci sitting in the courtyard, with a table between them, seemingly facing each other.

Seeing this scene, a little curiosity appeared in her eyes, and when she took two steps forward, she was also startled when she saw Miss Crownguard raise her head.

I saw that on the usually cute little face, there is now a turtle painted on the left, a turtle on the right, there are multiple tiger kings on the forehead, and there are two whiskers on both sides of the mouth, which looks funny with a little funny.

"What are you doing here?"

She stepped forward and asked.

Lu Qi maintained a casual posture at this time, holding a black disc in his hand, and was not in a hurry to fall, and replied easily: "Play backgammon." ”

On the other side, Lux didn't have time to answer, she lowered her head, her eyes full of disbelief and looked at the chessboard.

It seems that he can't believe that he is about to fail again.

"How is it possible, when will this side be connected together?"

Her face at this time had long since lost her previous confidence.

After a few sets in a row, self-confidence has already suffered a big blow.

Fiona looks at the chessboard, which holds black and white pieces, and Lux appears to be white.

"If you play like this, five pieces are connected together, and you win."

Lu Qi said, dropping the last piece to end the game.

Fiona's first thought when she heard the rules was, this is a bit too simple, isn't it?

At this time, Luqi picked up the pen, looked at the face of Lux opposite, and didn't know where to make another stroke for a while.

After thinking about it, he dropped the pen on Lux's nose and scribbled it so that it looked like a raccoon's nose.

After taking the pen back, Lux rubbed her nose uncomfortably, and said unconvincedly, "Come again!" ”

Fiona looked interested, moved a chair, and sat down next to her to watch.

Soon it was two sets later.

"Miss Crown, do you want to come?"

Luki looked at the confused Lux on the other side, and he asked unhurriedly.

And Lux, whose heart was already in turmoil at this time, muttered to himself: "It's just five chess pieces connected together, why can't you win." ”

She remembered that she could still fight with Lu Qi at the beginning, why did she get to the back and get worse?

"Because you haven't discovered the mystery yet."

Fiona was beside her at this time and said lightly.

Lu Qi glanced at her, and saw an extraordinary confidence in Miss Kenji's face.

And Lux was also busy asking, "What mystery?" ”

"Let me have two sets and you'll know."

Fiona stood up, the corners of her mouth curled, and her expression was arrogant.

It's just a simple game, and in just two games, she discovers a mystery that Lux has never discovered in such a pair.

"Say it first, but there is a punishment."

In order to prevent him from admitting his account, Lu Qiduo reminded him.

"I know."

Fiona sat down where Lux got up and got out of the way, grabbed a white child, and said lightly, "Come on." ”

So, a few sets later.

Fiona raised her hand in mid-air, not knowing where to land the piece.

And her face has already been a left stroke and a right stroke, and the fair and cold and arrogant face on weekdays at this moment is also a little more funny.

Lux couldn't help but ask, "This is the mystery you discovered?" ”

"I lost."

Fiona didn't drop the shogi directly and chose to admit defeat.

Because she had seen that no matter where she landed, she couldn't stop Luqi from winning.

Strange to say, she clearly felt that she had an insight into the play of this backgammon.

At the beginning, I even felt that I was on an equal footing with Lu Qi and thought about how to win.

But in the next few sets, she felt more and more that something was wrong, every time she played to the back, winning was no longer the goal, preventing Lu Qi from winning was the goal.

But often at this time, she is not far from losing.

"Miss Kenhime, which animal do you think has the right nose for you?"

Lu Qi picked up the pen and asked with a chuckle.

Fiona simply closed her eyes, raised her face, and said coldly: "If you want to draw, you can draw!" ”

Lu Qi likes to deal with this kind of cold beauty, and directly and unceremoniously draws another stroke on her nose.

When the stroke was over, Fiona opened her eyes, and her cold and arrogant eyes were full of disbelief: "Come again!" ”

And then a few more sets later.

Fiona's delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes looked at the chessboard in incomprehension: "How could it be."

At this time, she felt the same confusion in her heart as Lux had before.

It's just five pieces together, so why can't you win?

Lux was on the sidelines, looking at Luci's writings on Fiona's face, and her heart suddenly became much more balanced.

It turns out that she is not the only one who has been crushed.

She almost thought that she didn't have enough intelligence, but now that she saw that Fiona was the same, it would be fine.

Then it can be concluded now that it is not that she is stupid, but that this backgammon is definitely more than it seems on the surface.

Lu Qi fell lightly at this time, ending this last game.

Looking at Fiona's blank expression on the other side, and her own masterpiece on her cold and arrogant face, I wanted to laugh in my heart.

Backgammon seems to have simple rules, but there are actually too many tricks that can be played.

If it were that simple, backgammon would not have been popular in the previous world, from ancient times to modern times.

And as a senior backgammon player, to deal with the two rookies in front of him, Lu Qi doesn't even need fifty percent of the ability.

It only takes 30% to take it.

Picking up the pen, he drew another line on Miss Kenji's face.

Immediately, Fiona gritted her teeth: "Come again!" ”

Anyway, there are so many strokes on my face, and I'm not afraid of these strokes now.

What she wants now is to be able to seek experience in losing.

"It's not too early, let's get dinner."

In response, Lu Qi stood up and shook his head, not ready to play anymore.

The faces of these two people were almost painted all over by him, and if they continued to paint, they would simply be painted all black.

Fiona reluctantly landed her gaze on the chessboard and clenched her fists, thinking that she must find the field tomorrow.

Lux touched her stomach and asked, "Speaking of which, what's dinner today?" ”

Lu Qi replied, "It's called Flower Chicken." ”

This caught Fiona's attention, a name she had never heard before.

She saw Luci crouching in front of the fire over there, so she got up and walked over.

The same goes for Lux.

The three of them crouched down around the fire, looking at the flickering flames, and for a moment no one spoke.

Luki's gaze glanced at Lux's face, then at Fiona's face, and one laughed out loud.

This immediately attracted the angry eyes of the second daughter.

This did not prevent Lu Qi from suddenly being in a very good mood today.
