There is a street across the alley, next to the Xinqi Academy, and there is an extra chess stall at some point.

The so-called chess stall is actually not as big as a chess academy, just set up a stall, buy a few chairs, buy a few sets of Go, and then open.

Those who want to play chess just sit on the chair, fifty cents a game, win without paying, and losers keep the money. Although it looks very simple, and the weather is so cold, no one should buy it, but the fact is just the opposite.

Although the chess club looks more formal, it is precisely because his model is too formal that many chess players who are just hobbies and have no paranoid pursuits are discouraged. This simple chess booth is more attractive.

And the price is still reasonable, and there is no loss in playing chess.

The most important thing is that the stall owner is an old man with superb chess skills. Some people guess that this must be a professional chess player.

It's just that the old man has a weird temperament and doesn't like to talk. He set up a booth and sat on the side, holding a teacup in a daze. He only played a game with others occasionally.

Since the chess stand was established, many people went to the chess stand to play chess because they wanted something new, and the chess club was quite deserted. Many people said that the old man was obviously here to play chess.

Some people couldn't bear to be curious, so they went over to explore the bottom. It is said that the chess booth can hold a firm foot, which is really not boastful, because the booth looks very simple, and the people who go there have no psychological pressure. It can be said that good and evil are mixed. The style is extremely changeable and sturdy.

Learning chess is not just about playing scores, it is also very important to appreciate more styles of chess and be able to deal with it freely. Many people value this and prefer chess stalls.

Chen Jing didn't go to class on weekends, so he wanted to go to the chess stand. Li Yizhi didn't want to cause trouble, because playing chess is a hobby in itself, and it doesn't matter where you play chess. But Chen Jing has a stubborn personality, and his attention will never be changed by others. Li Yizhi had no choice but to accompany him there.

The chess stalls on Saturdays and Sundays are extremely popular, chattering may be the nature of Hutong people, people who come here to play chess will also be infected, and the voice of greeting can be heard from a long distance, "You are here again" "This morning "Ah" and so on, I can also hear people saying that they came here by train, and they will go back by train after playing chess in a while.

The chess stall is obviously not as elegant as the chess club, it is chaotic here, but some people just like this kind of atmosphere.

The chairs and tables are all the simple metal chairs in the school. It is a bit cold to sit on in winter, but this does not hinder everyone's enthusiasm, especially in this era. Get holy.

Chen Jing kept watching. Li Yizhi put his hands on his shoulders. There were so many people that he was afraid that Chen Jing would run away if he was not careful. To be honest, he also realized that it was not because he was afraid that Chen Jing would be lost, but because of the voice here. Messy, he was afraid that he would not be able to find his way back if he and Chen Jing got separated...

As soon as someone left the seat, Chen Jing pulled Li Yizhi over, asked Li Yizhi to sit down, and said, "Master, sit down, and I will sit down."

Li Yizhi nodded, Chen Jing would definitely not make people worry about it, he said that he must have observed it for a long time, and he would only make a move if he was absolutely sure.

The opponent saw a blind man and a child, and was a little disdainful, but out of politeness, he didn't say anything, and just pushed the black chess to them.

Standing beside Li Yizhi, Chen Jing put his hand on Li Yizhi's shoulder this time, and said, "I like to pinch white chess pieces."

The man smiled and said, "Then how much money will I post for you?"

There was no expression on Chen Jing's face, she just said lightly: "I'll post nine for you."

The man was laughed at by Chen Jing's old-fashionedness, and said: "Little baby, do you know what it means to put nine pieces, that is, to let others place pieces first on the nine star positions on the chessboard."

Chen Jing nodded, the man didn't say anything else, he seemed to feel that Chen Jing was arrogant, so he didn't refuse to put all the sunspots on it, as if he wanted to make Chen Jing eat his own fruit.

Li Yizhi didn't say a word, but he felt that Chen Jing was just too strong, he would win anyway, so he insisted on winning so sharply.

A blind man and a child are eye-catching in themselves. After hearing Chen Jing's words, many people gathered around to watch the chess.

The stall owner was wearing an inappropriate gray gown, holding a cup in his hand, and turned his head to look at them.

At the beginning of the chess game, everyone didn't see any subtleties, and they all thought that the child would definitely lose.The opponent's chess style is very fierce. It seems that he has not learned it seriously, does not follow the rules, and has no layout.

Chen Jing noticed it within a few steps, and deliberately set many traps to confuse the public. As long as it was a trap set by him, that person would not miss a single one, and they would kill them all. There are a lot of sunspots.

The stall owner glanced this way for a few times, and couldn't help nodding, as if admiring, and then looked at Chen Jing carefully. Chen Jing held Li Yizhi's shoulders, bent down frequently, and slapped the chess pieces on the chessboard. The sound seemed to carry a sense of arrogance and resolute frankness.

It didn't take long before the situation gradually reversed. Chen Jing didn't need to think about every move, and his moves were brisk, but the other party gradually felt something was wrong, and the time for thinking became longer. Seeing Chen Jing making moves on the upper right, he also Instead of responding immediately like before, he hesitated like this, even more indecisive, and lost a lot of sunspots in a short while.

The other party deliberated for a long time, finally put Heizi down, and sighed, "It's really unexpected...I lost."

The man lost the game, left fifty cents to stand up, and soon someone wanted to sit down and play a game with Chen Jing. The chess game just now was beyond everyone's expectations, making the hands of the bystanders a little itchy, eager to play a game with Chen Jing .

It's just that the stall owner sat down...

The stall owner was wearing a gray long gown, not very trim, the clothes were a bit old and turned gray after washing, and the gray hair was hardly black, but he looked good and tough.

The old man put the teacup aside, and started to pick up sunspots and play chess with Chen Jing.

The biggest feature of chess stalls is that they don’t know anyone, they just leave after the game is over, there is no need to cultivate any relationship, and often after several games of chess, you don’t know who the other party is.

That old gentleman doesn't look like an ordinary person, Chen Jing didn't dare to be negligent, as expected, he was different from just now, he didn't respond to any of the traps set by Chen Jing, even if he did, he would pull them back cleverly, instead, Chen Jing lost A lot of baizi.

Li Yizhi could feel that Chen Jing's hand on his shoulder became stronger unconsciously. Although it didn't hurt, he could feel Chen Jing's emotion.

There is no need to count the number of hands in a game, and Chen Jing also knows that he has lost.

Although losing chess is not happy, but it is undeniable that Chen Jing feels that he is far from this old man, different from Li Yizhi's chess style, this kind of unhurried, slow, but well-arranged distribution, let the serious Chen Jing, who had almost zero actual combat experience, suffered a lot.

The old man didn't get up, but said: "Does Mr. Li play chess?"

Li Yizhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his name to be so big, even the stall owner knew it, he didn't know how to address him, so he just nodded.

The old man's temper was also weird, he seemed to be reticent, he didn't say any more, he just went ahead with the black, and Chen Jing still stood aside to help report the chess.

More and more people came to watch chess. Everyone watched Li Yizhi play chess with the stall owner. They couldn't help holding their breath, and they didn't dare to speak loudly.

Many times, when the stall owner heard Li Yizhi's location, he raised his head in surprise and looked up, that expression seemed to be a pity.

When the two of them reached the middle game, the stall owner threw the chess piece into the jar and sighed loudly, "It's a pity, it's a pity".

Others didn't know what he was talking about, and thought the stall owner thought Li Yizhi was blind, so it was a pity.

Chen Jing just frowned, bent down and reached out to support Li Yizhi's arm, "Let's go back, there is your favorite dish at noon."

Although Li Yizhi's eyes couldn't see, when he heard "eat", his dull and unchanged eyes seemed to shine brightly. After nodding his head vigorously, he obediently asked Chen Jing to support him to stand up, and followed him away. Chen Jing couldn't help laughing.

The old gentleman looked at the backs of the two, couldn't help shaking his head, and said "it's a pity" again.

Chen Jing was going to school early on Monday morning. Li Yizhi had repeatedly proposed to send Chen Jing off, but was rejected.

The gate of the school is very chaotic, many parents are riding bicycles to send their children to school. Although there are not many people who seem to be rich in this era, but there are no shortage of rich people at any time. There are also many people who drive their children to school by car .

In such a mess, Chen Jing was afraid that Li Yizhi would bump into him, and that person was careless, so Chen Jing was even more worried that he would go back alone.

Li Yizhi ate at the chess club at noon, and the people in the chess club took good care of him. Chen Jing also told Li Yizhi what he liked to eat. He went home to rest for a while at noon, and then went to the chess club to play chess for two hours in the afternoon. Very comfortable.

When Li Yizhi arrived at home, he just closed the door when he heard someone knocking on the door. He didn't know who was looking for him at this time.

Opening the door, Li Yizhi couldn't see who it was, so he heard the other party say, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you."

He is very sensitive to voices, even though he was only "acquainted once", how could he fail to recognize that it was the owner of the chess stall on the other side of the street.

Li Yizhi invited people in. Although he didn't know why the old man asked him, it was because of his family education.

The stall owner didn't make any detours, and straight to the point said what he wanted.

It turned out that the old man came from Tianyuan Daochang in Sichuan. He was the president of the Sichuan Weiqi Association. His name was Wu Zhong, and he was considered highly respected in the local area.

Mr. Wu always likes to walk around, and the purpose of setting up chess stalls is to discover capable chess players.

Tianyuan Dojo is a famous Go dojo. These professional dojos are like an assembly line, training batch after batch of professional chess players. Of course, the price of learning chess in the dojo is not cheap.

And the purpose of Mr. Wu's visit this time is to persuade Li Yizhi to send Chen Jing to the dojo to learn chess...
