Chapter III

No one will remember these names, even the name of Wyvern Castle seems to be fake.

When a rooster cries at dawn, people already believe that it is dawn. So the morning exercises, the farming, the selling, the deserted streets became lively, and this place ushered in a new day and brought new vitality.

Ten miles away from Hun City, there is a mountain, of course, there is a valley and a mountain stream, and at the other end of the mountain is a cliff.

Unlike Hucheng, it is so deserted from day to night, a gust of wind blows, you can hear the rustling of leaves, you can hear your chirping, if you go deeper, you will hear the sound of a stream, if you are lucky, you will also hear the singing of women.

The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and there are dragons. Nanshan is just a mountain, there are many people who ask for immortals, as if there is a fairy spirit, some people who sell their fame and reputation, and those who appreciate themselves alone and take root in Nanshan. "Whoever pities the barbarian mansion Qingchi sentence, does not take the shortcut whip of Nanshan. "Is it man who makes the mountain, or is the mountain what makes man? No one knows.

There are a few grass houses in the valley, there are a few weeping willows in front of the house, there is no fence, there is no square circle, if you say it more carefully, that is, there are several stone benches in front of the house, there is a stone table in the middle, there is a wooden chessboard on it, no one knows how many years it has existed, how much history and memory it carries, only know that it is placed there quietly in this courtyard. There is also a simple pavilion next to the mountain stream, which is said to be simple, but in fact it is a few tree trunks plus a pavilion cover, no coloring, no fence, and no literati Yashiti pen left.

This is the Chess Valley, and few people know about this mountain, and even people who live outside the mountain don't know what kind of mountain it is, let alone that there are people living in it.

"Senior brother, it's your turn. A handsome young man said with a smile on his face.

"Senior brother, if you are not a senior brother, you are not stable, and you don't know how to be humble, are you in a hurry to see your sister or are you in a hurry to cook......?

The handsome young man was still smiling, he leisurely picked up the cup of tea in front of him and drank it leisurely.

"Although you are relatively talented in playing chess, have you forgotten that I am your senior brother? The person who called himself a senior brother was still chattering. Suddenly, he licked his somewhat dry lips, looked at the teacup that had already bottomed out, and said.

"Why do you say that you don't know how to respect the teacher so much, I have been educating you for a long time, and you are still in the mood to drink tea, don't you see that your brother's lips are chapped? ”

"Stop!" a woman's voice appeared, followed by a pretty face.

"Senior Brother"'s hand trembled, no, and his legs and stomach trembled. He hurriedly sat down, "Senior sister, senior brother will discuss this tea ceremony with your senior brother Xiao Ou again, and I will ask again which beautiful woman with such a fragrant tea is brewed?

"Stop, senior brother, what kind of things come out of your mouth, bad things can become good things, and dark days can also become daytime. “

"Wronged, I really praise you, I don't believe you to ask your second senior brother. After saying that, he hurriedly threw a wink at the handsome young man opposite.

"Senior sister, you misunderstood Senior Brother. This tea is indeed a good tea. The handsome young man still had peach blossoms on his face, and said unhurriedly, if he was a woman, he must be another red face, but fortunately, he was a young man.

"Really?" Then I'll make it for Senior Brother Ouyang every day in the future.

"Senior sister, what do you see what I said?" The senior brother hurriedly picked up the words, and gave his junior brother a small look. "When did the senior brother panic, and don't report to the master and his old man in the future, it's troublesome, let's communicate if there's anything, isn't it?

"Senior brother," the handsome young man interrupted, and he was about to say nonsense that he hadn't finished yet.

"What's the matter?" he wondered, his junior brother didn't like to talk very much, especially when he made a long speech, he rarely inserted his own opinions, this is?

"It's Your Time to Play Chess"

"Oh, I forgot if you didn't say anything. The chattering brother was speechless for a while.

"Yes, Senior Brother Sanjin, it's your turn. You can eat three catties of rice, and you can only play three rounds of chess, right?"

"There you go, go here. The chattering brother took a step proudly. "Senior sister, don't be big or small for a day, how can you call the name of your senior brother casually? Besides, the name of three catties is what my father has been thinking about for several days, which means that I have a lot of strength, and this is also the case, don't look at your senior brother who eats slightly more than you, but the valley is tired and heavy, isn't it all your senior brother who does it? Besides, people also have big names, didn't the master give me a name, called Xu Ruyi. “

"Cut, that's what the master means. The junior sister pouted, her pink face and big eyes flickered, although she pouted, she was so naughty and cute.

"Song Wen, don't beat you just because you're my junior sister, Xiao'er, you just owe repair. Senior Brother stood up suddenly, staring at Song Wen with both eyes, but he was a little scared in his heart. How did he stand up just now, thinking of his junior sister's methods, his calves and stomach couldn't help but tremble a little.

Song Wen was not angry, a pair of playful eyes were looking at him.

"Actually, senior brother is not the kind of person with a small belly, you, you just have to apologize. The chatter brother wiped the sweat on his face, thinking of the fate of offending this little aunt and grandmother, such as a snake with poisonous fangs in the bed, and cockroaches in the meal, the cockroaches are still good, I am afraid that it is a laxative, that feeling, tsk, I am afraid to think about it.

"Do you really want me to apologize, brother" The younger sister still blinked her big innocent eyes.

"I, I..." The sweat of the senior brother flowed down uncontrollably.

"Senior brother, you lost. The handsome young man, who had not spoken, said at this time.

The chatter senior brother suddenly came back to his senses, but the ending has been decided, the victory and defeat have been divided, and even the Great Luo Immortal is powerless to return to the sky.

In fact, without this nonsense junior sister to stir up the game, this game of chess is also a foregone conclusion.

"Leng Yiqing, singing and longitudinal, who looks forward to the coming of spring? After the vicissitudes of life, the red dust is thousands of miles, and the old man is coming. A white-haired old man seemed to be singing, as if he had come here unintentionally. But the three of them immediately put away their jokes, and the three of them stood together respectfully, their heads slightly lowered, and they said in unison: "Master." “

"Sanjin, if your chess skills can be as rich as your language, it won't be full of loopholes every time.

"Yes, Master, Master. Sweat flowed out again, and the cloth behind him was already soaked.

Song Wen couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw Xu Sanjin's embarrassment. Among the three, she is also the most naughty, and she has also been scolded and punished the most.

"Xiaowen, when can you change it, messing around like this all day long, without the appearance of a girl, I will see how you marry in the future?"

"Wen'er doesn't marry, Wen'er is afraid that the master will be lonely, so she wants to accompany the master. Song Wen raised her head, blinked those eyes, which were also her magic weapon, and said coquettishly.

The handsome young man's hand tugged at the corner of his clothes unnaturally.

"Nonsense, how can there be a girl who grows up and doesn't marry? Do you really want to be angry to become a teacher?" the white-haired old man suddenly became furious.

Song Wen was also startled, and hurriedly said: "The apprentice knows that he is wrong, that apprentice found Ruyi Langjun, let's accompany the master together?"

"Ahem, ahem. The old man coughed, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, God knows what would happen if he was kind in front of this girl, and besides, he wanted to live two more years!

"Wuji, after watching your chess game, your chess skills have improved a lot. ”

"It was taught by the master well. The handsome young man replied respectfully, his chin bowed, and his eyes looked at the old man's feet.

"En", the old man was very satisfied. Among the three, only this son is gifted in chess attainments and has several courtesies. However, if the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; When the pile comes out of the shore, the flow will be turbulent, and if the line is higher than the people, the people will not be. This son is destined to have a bad fate, can he ......

"Mowgli" the old man is colorful. "Playing chess is an elegant thing, but the world is dirty, and it makes the elegant behavior deviant. Remember, the three of you, don't use chess to take advantage of your cunning in order to cut corners, as that will only hurt others and yourself.

"Yes, Master, disciple remember. The three replied.

However, the old man did not seem to hear, his eyes were straight ahead, as if he remembered the past, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling. Memory is a wonderful word, it is said that the past is unbearable, but people can't help but miss, whether it is smiling or sad, memories are their own.

The three of them still stood there, watching the old man distracted.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Many birds have flown in the mountains this morning. “

Xu Sanjin was stunned, he didn't know why the master suddenly said here, could it be that the master's brain was broken?

Song Wen's mouth is fast, her heart is also fast, she has always been straightforward and fast, "Xu is the bird is hungry" After speaking, she felt that the reason was a little far-fetched, and said: "I'm afraid that the weather is too cold this morning, the birds should pick up more branches to build a bird's nest."

"Wuji, what do you say?" The old man ignored Song Wen's answer, but turned his head to look at the handsome young man.

"I'm afraid that someone is visiting, or Master's old friend. ”

Someone is coming? Xu Sanjin and Song Wen secretly rejoiced. The last time there was a man-made house was five years ago, when I was a woodcutter who strayed here, and finally someone came, and I finally didn't have to talk to that wooden brother all day long; Hehe, the two of them will laugh...

"How so?" asked the old man.

"Birds usually don't come out to feed, it's usually not too early. Most of the birds took off, and many of them broke into the valley, and if they were woodcutters, they would have cut down some trees on the side of the mountain. “

"Wouldn't it be Orion?" Song Wen asked appropriately.

"Have you ever heard a gunshot?" Ouyang Wuji asked rhetorically?

"As for the old man, it's nothing else, but Master, you said it yourself, maybe it's the old man. Is Mowgli right?" said the boy. Actually, he still has something to say, and Master Master is not the same as before.

Twenty years have passed, and what should come is going to come after all.

"Mowgli. The old man said.

"In. “

"Go to the valley to greet uninvited guests, and remember not to disturb the peace of the mountain. The old man commanded.

"The disciple obeyed. “

Looking at the back of the handsome young man in the distance, the old man sighed.

Some things always come, no matter how much you hide and how you protect yourself, it will still come. You can't stop it from happening, you can only try to make it as you want it to be when it comes.

Time always makes people sigh with the passage of time, which does not mean that only emperors and generals, kings and grandchildren have the right to sigh, the mountains and countryside, the common people in the market, and even the magpies crying in the eaves are telling the story of time. Twenty years is enough to make a baby an offspring, a young man or a beautiful woman, and it can also make the hearts of those who were full of ambition in the past become like water, "From now on, I will not listen to the affairs of the world, and I will be idle to fish on the Bixi." "Isn't it leisurely?
