Hangzhou in autumn, has not eliminated the summer heat, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, is also prestigious, Leiyin Temple, broken bridge and residual snow, these beautiful scenery are still there, used to come in a hurry, hurriedly go, but never stayed for a day, what is the beautiful scenery, it is too late to appreciate, and now the mentality of nothing is naturally different.

On the east side of the West Lake, the willows are hanging down, the breeze is coming, the water waves are not exciting, occasionally mixed with some coolness to blow away the still somewhat hot air, on the open space paved with bluestone slabs by the lake, under the rows of weeping willows, the tea tables and chess games are placed in an orderly manner, three or five people drink tea and play chess, and the spoken Chinese crepe is polite to each other, occasionally making a few sounds of admiration and sighing.

Jiang Ning also sat down and watched the two old men play Go, and the crescent moon also sat next to Jiang Ning, she didn't understand these things, she pouted boringly, looked at the scenery of the West Lake, and occasionally looked at the chess game, but she couldn't understand it, and felt that these things were complicated and useless, and it was not as clear as Miss's accounts.

For several days, Jiang Ning wandered around the city of Hangzhou, no matter where he went, he would go to the West Lake to watch chess, and he would not leave until the chessboard was sealed.

On the fifth day, only one of the two old men, who had been working every day, sat at the chess table today. The whole chess stall, only these two people have the most superb chess skills, this Go is not much different from later generations, but there are some differences in the rules.

Presumably, with the development of the times, the rules of Go are constantly changing, to the modern society of Jiangning, it has only reached its peak, tends to be perfect, Jiangning has been watching chess and drinking tea here every day these days, occasionally chatting with the crescent moon, and has long understood this rule.

When it was time to seal the chess, most of the people had dispersed, but the old man hadn't played a single game, just fiddling with the endgame, occasionally talking to himself, occasionally changing directions, but in the end, it was just a person's self-entertainment.

Jiang Ning got up and was about to leave, when the old man glanced up, but smiled at Jiang Ning: "Young man, are you interested in the next game?" How many days have you been watching chess here, but you never play chess? ”

Jiang Ning was about to leave, but when he saw the old man's invitation, he had nothing to do but exercise when he went back, so he thought that it would be okay to go next, and then smiled and said, "Then come on." ”

Saying this, it made the old man and the two servants behind him slightly shocked, the age difference between the two is a generation, if Jiang Ning shouts uncle, it is not an exaggeration, this young man is also a scholar, according to the normal script, it should be a return salute, or a polite resignation, or a humble battle, but this game "Then come on." "Contrary to a marketman, his unrestrained words are incompatible with his temperament.

Jiang Ning didn't think so much, walked to the chessboard in two steps, sat down directly, held the sunspot, and landed first.

The old man frowned, but he smiled when he turned his mind, such a free and easy young man is rare, and today he also learned and understood, sat down with a smile, took the white child, and began to fight.

Crescent Moon moved a stool and sat next to Jiang Ning, holding her chin with one hand and covering her bulging purse with the other, watching the two play chess.

At first, the old man was able to cope with it easily, occasionally showing a smug smile, but as there were more and more chess pieces on the chessboard, his face gradually sank, and he frowned and said, "You ...... You're ...... Don't follow the rules......"

Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "I'm a foul?" ”

"I haven't ......," the old man frowned and shook his head.

"That's it, if you haven't violated the rules, it's not that you don't follow the rules, sir, don't you say?" Jiang Ning put the black chess pieces in his hand back into the box and said with a smile.

"Uncle won?" Although the crescent moon couldn't understand the chess game, she could understand the current situation, and clapped her hands with a smile.

In her opinion, this old gentleman should be very powerful, otherwise no one would dare to fight against him today, and now that his uncle has won him, naturally his uncle is even more powerful.

Jiang Ning wanted to leave, but was pulled by the old gentleman and was not allowed to go, so he was forced to let Jiang Ning go until it was dark.

A few days later, when Jiang Ning arrived at the West Lake, he would be pulled by the old gentleman to play two games, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, naturally each has its own winners and losers.

"That's not right, huh?"

"You kid, sneak up on me?"

"Where did you come from, no, you are Wei Wei to save Zhao ......"

However, in a few days, the two of them have already killed in the chessboard in the dark, the sun and the moon are gone, Jiang Ning sometimes takes the sword to the front, sometimes takes the defense as the attack, and does not play cards according to common sense, and this Go is a little more fun.

On the fifth day, after the two of them fought, Jiang Ning stood up, patted the dust falling on his clothes, and was about to say goodbye, but he heard the old man say: "These days, I still don't know your name, little brother, when did I have such a Go master in Hangzhou, a character who is not obvious?" ”

There is a lot of banter between these words, but there is no slightest malice, it is just because he likes the ridicule of the same thing. The two of them also became familiar with each other during the chess game in the past few days, and another old man was attracted by the two-person chess game when he came on the fifth day and became a spectator.

"Jiang Ning, Jiang Zichuan." Jiang Ning bowed his hand and saluted.

"Xia Kang"

"Bi Cheng'an"

The two old men smiled at each other, said their names separately, and returned the salute.

"Xia Lao, Bi Lao." Jiang Ning gestured to the two of them again to show respect.

In the past few days, he played against Xia Kang, originally holding the mentality of a game, but this Xia Lao was extremely serious, the chess game of the previous day always had to stay and study for a while after the chess was sealed, and on the second day, he found a way to crack it, and wanted to defeat Jiang Ning in one fell swoop, but Jiang Ning was a sword and a person who did not abide by the rules, just a slight change, it was another move, and Xia Kang was caught off guard.

Xia Kang came happily every day, leaving with a sad face, and for several days, he finally called Bi Cheng'an, who had just arrived in Hangzhou, over, and was determined to kill the sharp spirit of this later life, but he didn't know that as soon as he sat down, he couldn't stand up.

Jiang Ning naturally will not be ruthless, his views on Go are only the clubs he participated in in college, and he was lucky enough to win a national college student excellence award, but for the Great Xia Dynasty thousands of years ago, it was more than enough.

"Jiang Ning, Jiang Zichuan, hehe, it seems that there will be opponents in the future......" Xia Kang said with a smile, touching his beard, but the wrinkles between his eyebrows and eyes were condensed.

Bi Chengan laughed: "Haha, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, it seems that you and I will be replaced by these young talents sooner or later......"

On the way back, it was the evening of Hangzhou, under the sunset, Jiang Ning walked on the bluestone slab, the sun pulled his figure slender, enjoying the sunshine, feeling this tranquility.

The crescent moon slowly followed behind Jiang Ning, occasionally attracted by the surrounding stalls, stopped two steps, and hurriedly caught up with Jiang Ning.

"That's good......" Jiang Ning smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself with a secret smile in his heart.
