Chapter 398: Retreat, Retreat?

Xiao Feng got up and left the shop, and Mai middle-aged man followed him out, and after that, there was no one else.

The middle-aged man called Xiao Feng, "Today, I have a relationship with Xiaoyou, and it happens that the Humble House is nearby, so Xiaoyou might as well go to the Humble House to sit." ”

Xiao Feng paused, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, there was no expression on his blurred face, and nodded after a while, "Okay." ”

The middle-aged man's residence is really not close to the shop, and the two of them arrived at the third pole on the sun, so it is no wonder that the middle-aged man rushed to the shop behind Xiao Feng.

It is also a small courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence, two wooden houses, and the yard is also dried clothes, chickens and ducks, and a yellow dog wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue, which is the simplest farmhouse appearance.

However, as long as you get closer, you can find some strangeness, for example, you will feel very close to the courtyard from a distance, but you can't get to the front of the courtyard when you walk, and for example, the surrounding leaves are rustling, but there is no sound in the courtyard, and the trees are quiet and calm.

Neither of them speaks unless it is necessary.

The middle-aged man signaled Xiao Feng's casualness, so he began to pack up his things, chopping wood, collecting clothes, turning herbs, feeding chickens and ducks, and cleaning the yard, it seemed that the extra person Xiao Feng in this yard did not affect him.

Xiao Feng walked around the small courtyard.

I looked at the pumpkin vines crawling on the wall of the small courtyard, the flowers were blooming vigorously at this time, I saw a large cluster of orchids planted in the corner of the wall, and the purple and blue flowers began to shrink in the sun at this time, but fortunately, the leaves were still vibrant, and I saw a small patch of colorful mountain wildflowers on the side of the wooden house, and a large piece of mint, which grew very pleasing.

There are two stout jujube trees on the right side of the small courtyard, which are fruitful at this time, but unfortunately they are still green and white, and it will take some time before they are ripe. Xiao Feng was not embarrassed, he picked a relatively white jujube and tasted it, it was sweet and sour, but it tasted much better than the big red jujube.

There are two large vats under the jujube tree, one is planted with wild lotus, and seven or eight flower buds are sandwiched in the dense green leaves, and it is very beautiful if you wait until dusk. The other was covered with a wooden lid, which should have been filled with water, and only one opening was exposed.

The wooden fence is covered with morning glories, purple, purple, cyan, pink, light blue, and fist-sized flowers of various colors.

Xiao Feng sat at a stone table on the left side of the courtyard after turning around, and he didn't know where Mai middle-aged got it from, hundreds of squares of the same size were carved on the table, and there were some marked points, if it wasn't for the lack of a rim, those who didn't know chess might really be mistaken for something like a chess table.

Xiao Feng looked at those squares with a somewhat strange expression.

Not long after Xiao Feng sat down, Mai middle-aged also packed up, so he sat opposite Xiao Feng with two boxes of chess pieces in his hands.

He put the pieces on the stool, smiled and said, "Do you want to play two games?" ”

Xiao Feng smiled and said sincerely, "Your Excellency is worthy of being a person who can be as famous as the Jianghu Wenguan, and his mind is exquisite, and he can't reach it below. ”

Mai's middle-aged man suddenly restrained his smile and frowned, "You know me?"

"The fifth on the wisdom list, the eleventh on the Tenglong list, how can you not know it in the next place. Xiao Feng sighed softly, "It's just that since you have the heart of retreat, why do you still appear on the list?"

"What about Your Excellency?" Mai said lightly.

"My name is not on the Heavenly Machine List. Xiao Feng shook his head, "They don't dare to write." ”

Mai was stunned and muttered, "No wonder, no wonder." ”

Xiao Feng stood up and looked around the courtyard, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, but it was easy to let people know that this was the joy of the young man from the bottom of his heart, "Here, I like it very much." ”

He paused, then added, "I hope this place will always be so vibrant, so that I don't have to be embarrassed." ”

Mai looked at Xiao Feng with a somewhat ugly face, took the chess box in his hand, and said, "It seems that Your Excellency has won this game, so it won't be interesting to play again." ”

Xiao Feng shook his head and said very seriously, "If it is a regular and correct seventeen horizontal vertical, you may not be able to win me, but this kind of game, it must be me who loses in this game." ”

"Of course, even if you regret it now, I won't play this game, and I may even be angry and directly split this stone. He looked at Mai's middle-aged man, and his tone became indifferent, "In this way, there is actually no winning or losing, right?"

Mai's middle-aged brows are getting tighter and tighter, since he can be looked down upon by the people there, he should never be such an unreasonable person.

Xiao Feng patted the dust on his body and glanced at the sky, "Okay, since Your Excellency asked me to come here to talk, I have also been here, and it is not too early, so I will leave." Oh, if the next time you want to play chess with me, I will not refuse. ”

He smiled casually, pondering carefully but always giving people a sense of meaning, and turned away without waiting for the middle-aged man to make any answer.

The middle-aged man didn't stop him, just looked at Xiao Feng's back, and his face was a little uncertain.

Xiao Feng left the small courtyard, bypassed the foodie and returned to the deserted city.

It's not that he's out of trouble, but he has plenty of time, so he's not in a hurry at all.

After returning to the resting place, Xiao Feng went to Yu Ziqi's side first.

This little guy is very naughty, and Senior Qi has carefully instructed him to be optimistic.

The situation was much better than Xiao Feng expected, and I don't know if it was because he volunteered or Yu Yi was more careful, Zhuge Li was looking at Yu Ziqi's endorsement, his face was serious, just like a master.

Xiao Feng looked at Yu Ziqi's copy of today's book, nodded and said, "Yes, keep working hard." ”

Yu Ziqi pursed her lips, and recited in a high voice, "When you are stunned, heaven and earth will grow, and all things will be prosperous." Lie down at night and walk early, walk widely in the court, and the gentleman walks slowly, so as to be ......"

Xiao Feng smiled, didn't care about the little guy's vocal protest, said hello to Zhuge Li, and left.

As soon as Yu Ziqi saw Xiao Feng leaving, he immediately stood up and wanted to scream, but Zhuge Li raised his hand and directly pressed his shoulders and sat down again.

After that, Xiao Feng walked down the corridor again, and met Nangong Qingyi chatting with a young man with an ordinary face on the way.

As soon as Nangong Qingyi saw Xiao Feng, he couldn't care about the young man, and ran over and shouted, "Xiao Feng, it's early in the morning, where did you go? I didn't even eat breakfast." ”

Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes, guessing that Nangong Qingyi should be talking nonsense, so he was a little funny and helpless. Nangong Qingyi belongs to the kind of person who can talk to people very well, but it is rare that he does not have a big mouth, but his mouth is very strict, but unfortunately his head is not very bright, and he probably didn't come up with anything, so he was impatient for a long time.

He didn't plan to pay much attention to Nangong Qingyi, and said bluntly, "Uncle Yu said that someone was looking for me before, but it was arranged?"

Nangong Qingyi was a little bored, "Yes, the old master said that he hadn't closed his eyes for a few days, so Uncle Yu arranged for him to sleep, and he shouldn't have woken up yet." ”

"Oh. Xiao Feng nodded, "What about Uncle Yu?"

"It's like in the backyard...... Well, it's either in the stove room, or in my room, or I'm out," Nangong Qingyi said, "Anyway, I don't know, except for a meal together at breakfast, I haven't seen anyone again." ”

Xiao Feng didn't listen to what Nangong Qingyi said, so he left directly, throwing over a piece of broken silver, "Go buy some vegetables and come back, it's almost noon." ”

"Hey, hey, don't say hello, are you so calling?" Nangong Qingyi was a little indignant, but Xiao Feng didn't pay attention to him at all.
