"Would you like to follow me and have some fun together?"
The old beggar was obviously drunk.
Whatever comes to mind is what comes to mind.
Zhong Qing has heard that fine wine goes well with delicious food.
A beautiful woman in hand, good wine in mouth.
I've never heard of pairing wine with chess.
But seeing how enthusiastic he looked, I didn't want to spoil his fun.
In addition, it was a rare opportunity to meet a drinking buddy with whom I could chat, and I had nothing to do at the moment, so I agreed immediately.
The two of them left the tavern.
After passing through several alleys, we finally arrived at the willow bank of a river.
The stream is rushing, and willows are swaying on both banks.
The gentle breeze brought a bit of coolness to the hot weather.
"Come, come, let this old beggar show you some treasure!"
The old beggar brought Zhong Qing to a willow tree about ten feet in diameter and began to dig the soil under the tree.
After a while, they dug out something wrapped in oilcloth.
He took out the package and opened the oilcloth, revealing an exquisite chessboard and chess pieces.
The old beggar placed the chessboard on a smooth rock next to the willow tree like a treasure.
Then he invited Zhong Qing to sit cross-legged on a big rock.
"Little brother, how are you at chess?"
He holds the white piece.
Fall first.
After five pieces, when Zhong Qing's five pieces were connected into a line.
"I won!"
The old beggar began to doubt his life.
"How did this win?"
"How do you know you won?"
Zhong Qing: “…”
I thought you were playing Gobang with me, but it turns out you were playing Go with me.
He really doesn't understand Go!
Zhong Qing's mind moved.
"How about this, I teach you a new way to play chess?"
"What new chess?"
The old beggar was obviously in high spirits.
"Come on, I'll take you to find some raw materials first!"
Zhong Qing thought of the chess in his previous life.
In terms of playability, chess is much simpler and easier to learn than Go.
Moreover, its unique chess rules often make people more fascinated.
The two came to the city gate.
Zhong Qing selected some stones of different shapes and good quality.
Then he took out a carving knife and started making stones.
The knife is obtained as a system sign-in reward.
The quality is excellent, and it can cut gold and jade with ease.
With his knife skills, carving and grinding some stones is no problem for him.
Soon, those stones of different shapes were transformed into uniform, round and smooth chess pieces under his carving skills.
Zhong Qing looked around and saw a big rock under an old locust tree.
Just enough to make a chessboard.
Then he started working on the big stone again.
Soon, a complete chess board was completed.
Zhong Qing explained the rules to the old beggar.
The two of them tried two games.
The old beggar was quickly conquered by the charm of chess.
"Little brother, this chess game is very interesting!"
He seemed to have discovered a new world.
He stared at the chessboard with shining eyes.
Chess can be said to be the embodiment of the wisdom of ancient people.
In terms of influence, it is not inferior to Go.
In the park and along the river bank in my previous life, you could see old men playing a few games of gambling everywhere.
In terms of audience reach, it far exceeds Go.
Zhong Qing was not surprised by the old beggar's reaction.
The two played several games of chess.
They all ended with Zhong Qing's complete victory.
However, the old beggar was not discouraged at all, but became more and more courageous.
There is a strong spirit to face challenges head-on and never give up.
Under the locust tree, the two figures, one old and one young, appeared extremely harmonious, as if they had blended into the nature of heaven and earth.
It has become a beautiful landscape.
Time always passes quietly without us noticing.
In the blink of an eye, it was sunset.
"Okay, that's all for today!"
Zhong Qing looked at the sky and decided it was time to go back.
The old beggar's face showed a look of deep reluctance.
But he knew that everything should be done in moderation.
He just said: "It is a great blessing in life to meet you today."
"The old beggar lives nearby. If you have free time next time, you must come and find me."
"Let the old beggar have another showdown with you to see who's better."
