Chapter 38 The Old Man Playing Chess
In a word.
This attracted the two old men who were playing chess to look up at the same time, their eyes fixed on Jiang Ning.
This moment.
Jiang Ning suddenly had a strange illusion, feeling like he was being stared at by something.
of course.
This feeling only flashed by.
When she came to her senses, the bald old man among the two old men suddenly said:
"Little girl, haven't you heard that people who watch chess don't speak?"
Feeling the old man's unfriendly attitude, Jiang Ning pursed his lips.
"I'm sorry, you played it so badly, I couldn't help it."
As soon as these words came out.
The white-haired old man sitting opposite the bald old man suddenly laughed out loud.
Then he burst into laughter like “Hahahaha”.
This made the bald old man so angry that his face turned blue and he raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Ning.
"Come on, come down."
"I want to see what kind of bastard you can come up with!"
It was obvious that the bald old man was very angry.
Even swear words came out.
But Jiang Ning didn't care about it.
An old man.
If your mouth is a little dirty, the dirt will only stay in your mouth.
So Jiang Ning sat down without hesitation, lowered his head, and looked at the chess set in front of him.
The red side is on the opposite side, and currently has one chariot, one horse, two cannons, one bishop, two soldiers and two pawns left.
The black side also has one chariot, one horse, two cannons, one bishop, and two soldiers.
The only difference is that there are four of them on the pawn.
And one had already crossed the river.
The move that Jiang Ning couldn't help but speak just now was that this bald old man wanted to exchange his pawn that had crossed the river for someone else's horse.
Is this kind of business possible?
You know, in the later stages of chess, any pawn that crosses the river can be even more useful than a chariot, horse, or cannon.
So Jiang Ning’s first move was to push the soldiers forward one step.
In response, the white-haired old man continued to jump his horse without caring, leaping in the black area, trying to find a position to checkmate.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning was not in a hurry.
After carefully calculating all the possibilities for the next three steps, he simply pushed the second pawn across the river.
After this move, not only the white-haired old man was confused, but even the bald old man next to him couldn't help but want to say something.
But Jiang Ning responded with the words "Those who watch chess game do not speak".
See this scene.
The white-haired old man pondered for a moment and decided to continue using his own tactics, using chariots, horses, and cannons in turn.
However, he was always one step short and was avoided by Jiang Ning.
This continued for several times.
On the chessboard, the number of chess pieces on both sides became fewer and fewer, but what was strange was that there were still four black pawns on Jiang Ning's side.
Even these four soldiers crossed the river silently.
By the time the four soldiers had formed an encirclement.
The white-haired old man seemed to realize something and turned around and used a chariot and a horse to barely replace Jiang Ning's two soldiers.
however.
It's already too late.
When the last pawn moves.
The white-haired old man sat there for a long time with a frown on his brow.
Finally, with a chuckle, he lost the game.
“It’s true that the waves behind push the waves ahead…”
"You are a young girl, but I didn't expect you to play chess so well."
"awesome."
Facing the white-haired old man's compliment, Jiang Ning didn't take it seriously. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the bald old man with a half-smile.
As a result, the bald old man snorted coldly, turned his head away, and chose to ignore Jiang Ning's gaze.
Tsk, another arrogant old man.
At this time.
The white-haired old man suddenly asked gently:
"Little girl, whose child are you?"
Whose?
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then he understood something, smiled and said:
“Well, I was just passing by…”
Having said that, he stood up and prepared to run away.
But at this moment.
A voice that Jiang Ning was very familiar with suddenly came from beside her.
"Jiang Ning?"
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Ning subconsciously turned his head and looked with a look of surprise.
"Tao Tao?"
That's right. The person who came was the handsome boy who was waiting for someone in the stadium in the middle of the night.
I saw him holding a kettle in one hand and two teacups in the other, standing not far away with a look of surprise on his face.
Like a waiter.
Of course, given Tao Tao's family conditions, it was impossible for him to work as a waiter.
and so.
relative?
elder?
Jiang Ning was unsure of the relationship between these people, so he could only take two steps back without showing any expression.
"Well, if I say I accidentally took the wrong road, would you believe me?"
"Wrong way?"
After hearing this explanation, the expression on Tao Tao's face was indescribably strange.
At this time, the white-haired old man suddenly said:
"Xiao Tao, do you know each other?"
Hearing the question, Tao Tao immediately walked over quickly, put the things in his hand next to the chessboard, and said with a smile:
"Yeah, schoolmates."
"classmate?"
The bald old man seemed a little surprised, but at this time, the white-haired old man next to him smiled and said:
"Since you all know each other, why don't you stay and play a few more games with us two old men?"
"It's really rare to meet a junior who is so good at playing chess."
When these words came out, Tao Tao was shocked.
"You can play chess?!"
This questioning attitude immediately made Jiang Ning unhappy.
"You're kidding, what can't you do, Jiang?"
However, as soon as she said this, she suddenly thought of something and said awkwardly:
"Well, gentlemen, it's not that I don't want to stay, but there are a few of my classmates waiting for me over there..."
"Next time, next time we have time, come and kill a few more."
After saying that, she was about to turn around and leave, but the man turned around and took two steps, then grabbed her arm.
Jiang Ning turned around and glared, his eyes full of murderous intent.
But Tao Tao didn't seem to mind at all, and said to the bald old man:
“This is my grandpa.”
Then he pointed at another white-haired old man and said:
"That's Grandpa Dong."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Ning immediately understood what Tao Tao meant, and thought that he was indeed a bit impolite just now.
Her face flushed, she quickly gave a silly laugh, bowed and said sweetly:
"Hello, Grandpas. I am Tao Tao's classmate. My name is Jiang Ning, Jiang for ginger and Ning for tranquility."
After saying this, he pulled his wrist out of Tao Tao's hand without making a sound and continued:
"I'm sorry, grandpas, I really can't do it today. My classmates are still waiting for me..."
Having said that, the two elderly people had no reason to refuse and nodded slightly.
"Xiao Tao, please send it off."
deliver?
Jiang Ning didn't feel comfortable refusing when there were many people around.
When she came out of the garden, she said bluntly:
"Let's go back. I know the way."
"Do you know the way?" Tao Tao looked at Miss Jiang beside him with a strange expression.
"I haven't asked you yet. This is a military sanatorium. How did you get in?"
How did you get in?
Jiang Ning's face turned dark.
Whenever she thought of the guardrail, her chest would ache involuntarily.
And at this time in the garden.
After watching the two figures disappear from sight.
The old man surnamed Dong laughed for no reason.
"This little girl is quite interesting."
This sentence immediately made Grandpa Tao Tao next to him roll his eyes.
"Interesting, you took her in as your grandson's wife? Your grandson just started college anyway."
As soon as these words were spoken, the old man surnamed Dong immediately responded cheerfully.
"Forget about my grandson, who spends all day tinkering with music. Your grandson is just the right age, and we're classmates in school."
"So what!"
"You are disrespectful and cunning."
"It's just a game of chess!"
Speaking of this, Tao Wenwu was full of disgust.
However, the old man surnamed Dong just shook his head gently, looked up at the sky, and then sighed in a melancholy tone:
"Don't you think..."
“Is her personality very similar to Soo-ji?”
