[Tomb Raiders Notes] The date has not been changed

"This is the best, lest you say that I bully you." I waved at the fat man, "Bring up the chess box."

The fat man came over, opened the bag and handed me a box of chess, the most common twenty-odd box I bought from the supermarket, before I opened it, Huo Chi had already made a "pause" gesture to me.

Then he turned around, took out a large wooden chess box from the cabinet, walked over and put it on the table in front of me, the chess box was carved with patterns of flowers and birds, it looked very delicate, the box opened, and inside was a pair of A half-folded wooden chessboard, the chess pieces are made of jade, with a warm and moist color.

The fat man and I looked at each other, and the fat man curled his lips, which meant that the visitor was not kind.I feel a little happy in my heart.

The Huo family has nothing to do with chess. Huo Chi has this hobby only because of Xie Jiuye, who would store such a box of jade chess in a place where there are no servants. If he hadn't guessed our strategy, That is, chess really has a very important place in his heart.

Of course it is impossible for him to guess our plot.

The position of chess in Huo Chi's heart also means Xie Jiuye's position in Huo Chi's heart. If Huo Chi simply likes playing chess and has nothing to do with Xie Jiuye, I think this is impossible.

Huo Chi had already set up the chess, and then he made a "please" gesture to me, which meant that the game was about to start, so I waved my hand: "Wait a minute."

"What?" Huo Chi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I have a small request," I said. "Can you play four games with us at the same time?"

"What?" Huo Chi yelled in surprise. His emotions at that moment definitely exceeded the surprise that my request would bring. It was other things that caused the violent fluctuations in his emotions.

Play four games of chess at the same time.

I think he probably thought of something.

But Huo Chi calmed down quickly, he took a few deep glances at me, he seemed to be a little lost in the mandarin jacket I was wearing, then he looked at the fat man in the tight mandarin jacket and the stuffy oil bottle in the normal mandarin jacket, pondering It took a while before he said: "You want me to play four, it is too exaggerated."

"No, no, no, my rules are different from those at that time." I emphasized the three words "at that time", "four games of chess, as long as you can win me, it is considered you won, but if you beat me Before, you couldn’t lose the other three sets, if you lose one set first, or if you fail to beat me, then you lose.”

Huo Chi took a deep look at me again, he didn't speak, but I could imagine his inner OS at this moment.

He was thinking about what I knew, and my sudden mention of Master Xie Jiu caused quite a shock to him.

I don't know how much affection a child has for his only family member until now, but I can only bet that when playing chess, one's energy is concentrated on the chess game, and the psychological defense line will be relatively weak, otherwise As it is now, even if Huo Chi has already thought of getting to know Jiu Ye, he still won't have much reaction.

And I know that Huo Chi will definitely fight.

First of all, my rules are quite favorable to him. In the four games of chess, he only needs to not lose the other three games before he wins me. Then he does not need to attack. He only needs to defend in the other three games. Pure defense is much simpler than both offense and defense. Huo Chi is also a person who is very confident in his skills.

Secondly, it feels like someone wants to solo with my brother, or challenge the blind man's marksmanship. It can be seen that Huo Chi is the kind of person who is very jumpy, and this matter is about Xie Jiuye. He is sure of this kind of challenge Will take it, because for him, this is equivalent to a battle of dignity.

"There are only three of you, who wants to play two rounds?" Huo Chi asked.

"One game per player is already our limit." I said, "So we have to borrow one from you."

"Who?" When Huo Chi asked this sentence, I knew he had already thought of the answer.

"Xie Yuchen." I replied.

Huo Chi was silent again.

"Can you?" I asked.

"Up to you." Huo Chi said lightly, and walked out.

I watched him walk out of the hall without any intention of obstructing him. The fat man looked at me in surprise, obviously wondering why I watched Huo Chi leave.

"He's not going," I said. "Don't worry."

As soon as I finished speaking, Huo Chi and Xiao Hua had already appeared in the yard. After not seeing Xiao Hua for a day, they looked quite tired, which made me a little worried about the black glasses.Xiaohua looked a little surprised when he saw us, but he was obviously happy. He looked at me directly with questioning eyes. I knew he was asking whether I had used the "Er Yuehong" he reminded me before. He nodded slightly, signaling him to rest assured, at this time Huo Chi had already spoken.

"Master Hua, your friend said that he wants to play chess with me." Huo Chi said flatly, "I also need your help."

"Playing chess?" Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, then looked at me in surprise, "Need my help?"

"Well," I said, "we're going to play four games of chess at the same time."

Huo Chi didn't pay any attention to us anymore. He was in a very cold state now, as if he was looking for a hand before the game. He walked over by himself and put together several square tables in the room, and then set up chairs. There was only one piece of jade chess. The remaining three pairs are still 20 yuan, and they are placed on the table in order. I pull Xiaohua aside and explain to him what I think now.

I haven't clarified Huo Chi's identity with him yet, otherwise I'm afraid Xiaohua won't be able to accept it for a while, so I just briefly talked about my plan, and Xiaohua listened with a troubled expression on his face.

"Got it?" I said.

"Understood." Xiaohua said, "The problem is that I don't know how to play chess."

I was startled, and shouted: "Xie Jiuye's chess is famous all over Changsha, tell me you can't play chess?"

"It will be very simple." Xiaohua said, "You also know that I followed Master when I was young, and I didn't have many opportunities to accompany Grandpa."

"It doesn't matter." I sighed, "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose anyway, so you just make trouble. If I beat him, we win."

"Are you sure he will fulfill his promise if you win?" Xiaohua was slightly suspicious.

"Don't worry." I patted Xiao Hua on the shoulder, "Go to your seat."

After saying this, I looked at Huo Chi. He had been standing far away just now and was playing chess, but when I turned my head, his eyes quickly turned back.

Sure enough, I was still listening.

This step I won again.

I know that Xiaohua doesn't know how to play chess very much, and I know with my toes that he has no time to learn chess, but as long as I can draw out Jie Jiuye in the conversation, especially let Xiaohua recall Xie Jiuye himself, Huo Chi listens When you arrive, you will definitely have a different feeling in your heart.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

I didn't go directly to my seat, but slowly boiled a pot of hot water and started to make tea. Xiaohua, Fatty and Poker Ping sat in their respective seats like good babies. I gave them two simple teas yesterday. I arranged a tactic, hoping to have a good effect.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, Huo Chi got up and walked to my side: "How is it?"

"Don't worry." I said while pouring the tea into the cup, "It will be ready soon."

Waiting can make people calm, but it can also make people anxious.

"How much do you know?" Huo Chi lowered his voice and asked me.

I smiled, handed Huo Chi a cup of tea, and didn't answer his question.
