Chapter 7 Playing Chess
This gust of wind also blew through the city gate, and a poor young man was about to get back the five cents that he had not withdrawn before, and he also saw the banyan leaves floating in the sky, and grabbed them, but somehow, the leaves seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and they turned a direction and drifted to another place when they were about to start.
He Ze didn't give up, turned around with his other hand and grabbed the leaf, and was about to catch it, only to see a young man in yellow hurrying by, almost hitting him, he saw that the leaf was gone, and sighed.
The young man in yellow didn't care about He Ze, after all, he didn't know him, there were important things in front of him, and he was only less than half an hour away from the appointment with Mr. In a hurry, he didn't realize that the banyan leaf had fallen behind his right shoulder.
At this time, the fortune teller at the gate of Heiluo Lane looked at the wind and said to himself: "The wind is running back, and it is difficult to see the truth." ”
When he arrived at the county office, the middle-aged man was sitting idly after eating, He Ze was about to enter the door, but found that for some reason, some strange flowers and plants had grown in the land on the right side of the county office.
Thinking of learning medicine with his master for so many years, He Ze's only interest was to explore the medicinal properties and types of medicinal herbs. I was always scolded by the master that my mind was wrong, many medicinal herbs could not be planted by knowing, and there were no seeds, and the seeds of precious medicinal materials were monopolized by the four major families. There is no fertile land, and these are naturally occupied by the wealthy. Even if it is learned, it has no effect on the planter. But He Ze's sense of smell and observation are really powerful, and the herbs can be judged by "smelling, looking, and touching" the type and year of the herbs, and even the growth status.
The master sometimes felt that he was still too stupid, especially after having a sharp contrast with Lu Qingchuan, in the year when the harvest was the worst, He Zedi naturally didn't help much, the master took him to a mountain outside the city, and ordered him not to go home until the night. At that time, the teenager was only seven years old. Although the master didn't hurt him as much as Lu Qingchuan, he still felt a little guilty, and he was about to go out to look for it in the middle of the night, only to see the young man standing in front of the thatched hut in Baipo. Then, out of the debt for this matter, the master did not punish him severely.
He Ze has never hated his master, and the grace of nurturing is very rare, and he will not sleep in the open without eating, drinking, and living. He understands that in this world, no one will be good to himself for no reason, whether it is the master or Lu Qingchuan. It's just that the parents who have never met them don't know that they will treat themselves like this.
The official saw He Ze squatting at the gate of the county office, and he had already guessed almost what he meant.
"What, this is here to get these five cents back?" After eating, he was lazy and did not get up.
He Ze is not good at talking about these so-called money things with adults, and nodded.
The middle-aged official saw his uneasiness and shyness, and at this moment, he decided not to give the five cents: "How do you know that these ten letters were not sent by mistake?"
"I checked them one by one, and I only handed over the letter after confirming it. Don't you want to repay the debt?" He Ze was more serious at this time.
The official stretched his waist and said lazily: "Don't worry about the five cents, the eldest husband. ”
"Aren't you a big husband?" He Ze quickly shot back.
The middle-aged man didn't care about this humiliation when he heard this, and got up and mocked: "So, if you don't want to be a corrupt middle-aged man like me, you have to start with these five documents, just the deposit you paid for this letter delivery job." ”
He Ze had no choice but to say: "In the future, if you believe in a letter or a penny, you can't lose a penny." ”
"You stinky boy, you can only squat at the gate of the county government like a toilet, and you will always be inferior. ”
"This is not a group of grasses, it only grows rapidly in the soil of extreme tides, but there is no water source near the county government, which is very strange. He Ze pointed to the grass and said.
The middle-aged official didn't care about the crowd, and said, "It's your business, go back quickly, don't be an eyesore here." ”
After He Ze listened, he left silently, sticking to the soil, smelling it, walking not far away, and looking back at the grass.
After Xiao Wu listened to the storyteller's story about "Jade Dragon and Immortals" in the banyan tree, he saw a scholar-like person whispering a few words to him.
"Mr. Hu asked me to play chess again?" seemed reluctant, but out of respect for Mr. Teach, he got up and followed the scholar.
Seeing this, Fu Hua silently walked in different directions, she had never gone to a private school to play chess with Xiao Wu, and she didn't want to disturb the communication between the three cultural people, which was also a rare moment when she and Xiao Wu were separated.
Mr. Hu and a scholar had already set up a chessboard and waited for Xiao Wu. The scholar was dressed in yellow, and the banyan leaves were still on his clothes.
Xiao Wu was late, and said complainingly: "You have to say it in advance when you play chess." ”
"That's just the beginning of today's excitement. Mr. Hu completely ignored Xiao Wu's resentment, which came from the fact that he had no opponent.
If He Ze is a genius in identifying herbs, Xiao Wu is like the reincarnation of a chess saint, and he is completely unfamiliar with chess. At first, Mr. Hu could win a few games with routines, but after Xiao Wu gradually became familiar with the rules of chess, he could no longer win, and this time was often less than a month.
And this young man in yellow is also a chess lover, and he has learned some ways to watch Mr. Hu play chess. Later, the two of them became opponents on the chessboard, but unfortunately, they rarely won against Xiao Wu.
The gentleman held the black and white random backgammon in the palm of his hand and said, "Disciple Xiao guess the color." ”
"Yellow. "Xiao Wu doesn't care about the color, it's all the same for him.
The yellow-clothed scholar blushed, still too persistent in winning Xiao Wu, and said, "White." ”
opened his hand, it was a sunspot, and the gentleman sighed and said silently, "You hold white." So he divided the black and white chess pieces among the two, and the three of them sat on the ground.
When Xiao Wu was about to play the first game, Mr. shouted: "Slow!" and flipped the chessboard in front of him, and the chessboard on the back was not the same as the previous one.
"This time, Bai Zi goes first. Play winger chess. ”
Xiao Wu said with a smile: "Sir, this is biased towards him, or not, I hold the sunspot, he has no chance of winning at all." ”
The face of the young man in yellow turned even redder, Xiao Wu didn't care about winning or losing at all, playing chess was just for fun, how to change and how to play, and he was only thinking about how to defeat Xiao Wu.
The result goes without saying, the winger chess has more moves to consider in advance, and the chess strength of the young man in yellow cannot cope with it, and at this time he understands that the reason why he can win a few games against Xiao Wu's half-son in the past few months - release water.
Xiao Wu finished his last shot, stood up, and stretched.
"It's me who loses. It seemed to have a hint of unyielding and crying, but he lowered his head and didn't let Xiao Wu, who was standing, see it, and after a moment, he turned around and walked quickly to the inside of the school.
"Playing chess, it's still boring. Xiao Wu and Mr. Hu said.
"There are a lot of big chess players in the capital. You're going to have a little fun. ”
