Returning to my hometown to inherit three mountains: Don't stop me from raising pigs

The village is not big and there are not many people. You can almost see the end of the Long'an River at a glance.

At the fork of the river at the entrance of the village, there is a huge ginkgo tree, which is said to be more than 500 years old. It was planted by a commander-in-chief during the Ming Dynasty.

This more than 500-year-old ginkgo tree is still full of vitality. Its huge crown blocks out the sun, and its trunk is so thick that it would probably take two or three people to hug it.

In the shade under the tree, there is a stone table and four stone benches. Two old men are sitting opposite each other, playing chess. In the distance, several children are flying kites together...

Gu Chang looked from afar and seemed to see a beautiful scenery.

Green water flows around the village, and new buds appear on old trees; the elderly enjoy their old age, and the children play with kites.

At this moment, Gu Chang wanted to find a place like this when he got old, where he could go fishing and play chess when he had nothing to do, and then brag to his grandchildren and tell them stories from the past.

This is the real way to enjoy life!

……

Perhaps attracted by the beautiful scene, Gu Chang unconsciously walked to the stone table and watched the two old men play chess.

The two old men were one in the south and one in the north, one fat and one thin; the one sitting on the south was a fat old man with kind eyes and a gentle face; the one sitting on the north was a thin old man with a serious face and was in deep thought.

This chess game has reached its final moments. It seems that both sides had fought fiercely before, and in the end only a few pawns, a horse and a chariot were left on each side.

"Pawn nine moves forward one..."

"The car is eight and the level is six..."

A few moves later, the fat old man's pawn went deep into the bottom line and cooperated with the chariot to capture the opponent's general and win.

Gu Chang secretly marveled in amazement. Judging from the way these two old men played chess, they were both masters!

“Hahahaha…” the fat old man laughed heartily.

"Promise, accept, accept!"

"Come again, come again!" The thin old man looked dissatisfied.

The two old men nodded at Gu Chang without saying anything. Gu Chang also smiled in response, which counted as a greeting between the three of them.

Soon, the chess pieces were placed and the two sides began fighting again.

The battle was quick. In less than twenty minutes, the thin old man defeated the fat old man and won the victory!

At this time, Gu Chang felt something was wrong, and things didn't seem to be what he thought.

After playing a few more games, Gu Chang was basically sure!

These two are masters, but they are obviously two poor chess players!

When Gu Chang was in college, he had a roommate who was obsessed with chess and was a semi-professional chess player. He liked to play chess with Gu Chang all the time, and Gu Chang's skills improved a lot because he was beaten so many times. Later, he memorized some chess manuals and had few rivals among ordinary people.

At first, Gu Chang thought that the two old men were playing chess in a way that was back to basics, that simplicity is the best, and that simple moves could produce unexpected results.

Later I realized that it was just too delicious...

After a few rounds of fighting, the two old men took a short break, poured a cup of tea, and also poured a cup for Gu Chang.

The fat old man said: "Young man, you are very patient. You have been playing chess for a long time without saying a word. This shows your quality!"

"That's right!" the thin old man also praised.

"As the ancients said: A true gentleman is one who watches chess without speaking! This young man is a true gentleman!"

Gu Chang was speechless. Why didn’t he say anything? It was because you two were such bad chess players!

At first, he thought they were two masters and Gu Chang didn't dare to give any advice; later he found out that they were two bad chess players and Gu Chang didn't dare to give any advice.

"Thank you for your compliment, thank you for your compliment..." Gu Chang felt a little embarrassed.

"I wonder if you two know Mr. Gu Qi? Some people also call him Uncle Gu." Gu Chang suddenly remembered the purpose of his coming here.

I was so absorbed in watching the chess game that I almost forgot about my main business.

The two old men looked at each other, and the thin old man said: "Old Seven, of course I know him, he always plays chess with us!"

After hearing this, Gu Chang was secretly delighted, he found it!

"Could you please show me the way? I want to visit Master Gu Qi."

"Well, what a coincidence. Old Seven has just gone out in the past few days and is not at home." The thin old man looked at Gu Chang and said.

"Ah, what a pity. Do you know where he went? How many days will it take for him to come back?" Gu Chang asked with some regret.

"It seems he went to visit relatives. It will take another three to five days."

"Okay." It seems that I won't be able to see him in person this time.

"I don't know what you want to see Lao Qi about. He has been retired for so long and few people come to see him!" asked the fat old man.

"How about this, if you have something to say, why don't you tell us and we'll tell him when he comes back, what do you think?"

Gu Chang thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing serious. I just want to consult Master Gu Qi about something. I'll talk to him when I meet him."

"Then young man, let's play a game of chess first!" said the thin old man with a smile.

"Yes, let's play chess first, that's the important thing!" the fat old man agreed.
