Chapter 295 – Preferential
“Since you are roaming everywhere, where would you get the money to travel?” I asked, thinking of something.
Zi Die laughed. “About that.” For example, some ethnic autonomous counties in Tibet and Yunnan have casinos, and sometimes I go there to earn some money. If there was no casino, I would have to wash the dishes and work as a temporary laborer for a while. When I had some money, I would resign and continue my travels. But I really haven’t done anything like that. ”
“Casino? “Temporary worker?” I was stunned by her words. “Then if you lose the bet, wouldn’t you be penniless?”
“About this.” Zi Die smiled. “Friend, to be honest, ever since I started wandering two and a half years ago, I’ve been in and out of the casino a thousand times and haven’t lost a single time.”
He hadn’t lost even once when entering a casino a thousand times?
‘This guy … ‘
Is it serious?
I felt more and more that this fellow in front of me was unable to make sense of what was happening. Zi Die was standing there, beautiful and graceful, but the mist surrounding her body was layers upon layers of mist.
When we left the infirmary, Zi Die brought us to the entrance of the rural hostel. According to her, there would be someone there who would be responsible for sending us back to the county.
At the entrance to the hostel, in front of a low house, I saw an old locust tree with fallen leaves and twisted roots. Under the old locust tree, there was a stone table, and on both sides of the stone table, two Middle-aged woman boys were playing chess.
Seeing this scene, Zi Die went up and politely said:
“Auntie, we were passengers who didn’t get on the train to leave the village yesterday. I heard that you have a transport car to go to the county. Can you take us there?”
Hearing Zi Die’s voice, an old lady with chicken skin and hair, beady eyes, and thick eyebrows turned around and casually said,
“You still haven’t left? I have to play chess with my teacher today, so I won’t go shopping. ”
Hearing this, we were all stunned. What the hell did this old lady mean?
I looked up at the old woman in front of the crane – haired woman. Her white hair was mottled, her eyes were like torches, and her eyes were fixed.
I’ve only felt this kind of temperament from a soldier. For example, Commander Chen.
Hearing this, the expressions of the three of us became a little ugly. Especially Zi Die, her face was very gloomy. She didn’t think that she would encounter such trouble after going to the county.
At that time, I was in a bad mood and wanted to pull Little White and Zi Die away. In any case, it was only a few dozen kilometers. He didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to make it!
However, at this time, Zi Die strode forward. With a solemn expression, she walked in front of the retired soldier and said:
“Senior, my two friends do have some urgent matters to attend to in the County City. Can you take up some of your friend’s time? We were forced to do this because of helplessness. ”
However, when the old lady heard Zi Die’s words, she didn’t even raise her head. Instead, she smiled at the Middle-aged woman man in front of her and said, “Hahaha, little Ruan, admit it. After not seeing each other for a few years, your chess skills have really regressed. ”
“No, teacher, your chess skills are even better now. “The person who has obtained the title of Beijing Chess King is not this young sprout of mine.” The owner of the hostel shook his head and smiled wryly.
Faced with the disregard of the two elders, Zi Die knitted her brows and walked forward to take a look at their chess match. I also casually swept my eyes over the game and discovered that the main chess pieces in the guest house had all been eaten, leaving behind only a few defeated soldiers. Even I, as a beginner of chess, could see that the old soldier was going to win.
However, when Zi Die casually glanced at the chess board a few times, she unexpectedly opened her mouth and said:
“Wrong. This chess piece still has a way out. ”
After hearing what Zi Die said, the old man who had been laughing wantonly finally turned around. His smile vanished and his sharp eyes focused on Zi Die. In his eyes, there was a hint of unhappiness and suspicion.
Zi Die hastily said:
“I know that I shouldn’t have disturbed Senior’s mood. If senior thinks that you will definitely win this game, can this junior use this game to play chess with you? If this junior wins this match, shall I let your friend borrow some time to send us back to the county? ”
Hearing what Zi Die said, the old soldier’s expression turned cold and his eyes shone with light. He said in an imposing manner,
“Such a young age and such an arrogant tone. Do you know who I am? ”
Facing the old soldier’s words, Zi Die faintly smiled and continued:
“I do not know of Senior’s identity. But all I know is, we’re all chess fans. There was no distinction between high and low status in a chess game. There was only the difference between talent and skill. I wonder if senior can let this junior teach you? ”
Purple Butterfly’s words caused the dignified old man’s expression to change. He immediately laughed, his voice clear and his face kind.
“Sure, but he’s still young.” “Okay, little Nguyen, I’ll let this kid try.”
Hearing the old soldier’s words, the head of the guest house smiled helplessly and said, “Little girl, don’t exaggerate. Do you know who this old man in front of you is? She is the former commander of the Zhengcheng University Military District in Beijing. “However, to be able to call out the wind and summon the rain in such a grand manner was something that was able to cause the entire city to tremble. Furthermore, it was something that was unstoppable at the adult chess event in Beijing.”
Hearing the director of the hostel’s words, I was stunned. I didn’t expect this unassuming old man to have such a background. The former commander of the Beijing military? He was truly a great figure that could cover the entire sky with one hand. It was truly strange that such a powerful figure would meet him in such a small place like this.
“Don’t mention it, it’s already retired. What’s the point of mentioning it in the past?” Old Commander was also excited, his tone was light and casual, “Little girl, do you think that being able to pull this mess back is real?”
“Of course it’s true. Senior, with your status, I would not dare to speak nonsense. ” Zi Die said respectfully.
“It’s good for youngsters to be spirited, but not to be brazen. Since you have the confidence, then sit down and follow me to the next game. If you lose, the three of you, “Old Commander looked at us and said solemnly,” Just kneel down and walk to the county town, okay? ”
Kneel in a county town? Hearing this, Zi Die and I were stunned. Purple Butterfly’s expression also became heavy.
Zi Die turned around with a gloomy face to look at me and Xiao Bai. She said with a wry smile,
“My friends, if you do not trust me. You can leave now. If you trust me, you can stay and watch this game. It’s just that if I lose, you’ll have to kneel down with me and go to the county town. ”
My heart was in turmoil, is this Zi Die crazy? Was she going to take on this gamble?
“Friend, do you trust me?”
Zi Die looked at me with her starry eyes as she asked.
Do you believe me?
Just a simple sentence left me in a dilemma. Should I believe in Zi Die, an unknown woman? But in the past day, she did show enough kindness to us.
Should I believe her? I admit that Zidie is a very smart, smart and perfect woman, but
It was because she was too perfect that I couldn’t believe her.
Zi Die’s perfection made me suspect that she had other intentions.
Believe? Or did he not believe it?
“I believe you.” For no particular reason, I suddenly said those words. Even I was surprised. Why do I believe in Zi Die? Was it because of her firm and confident eyes, or because of her peerlessly beautiful appearance, or was it because of her friendly eyes and yesterday’s shared hardships? I don’t know, I only know that after saying those words, Zi Die faintly smiled at me and said,
“Thank you, my friend, for trusting me so much. Little Wang. From today onwards, I will be friends with you. “Even though I know that I’m not a big shot, I’m still allowed to call you ‘friend’.” Zi Die’s words moved my heart, but she had already turned around and sat opposite of Old Commander. She cupped her hands and said, “Senior, please give me your guidance.”
Then, she used her bare hands to probe the flowers, gently picking up the chess from the stone table, slowly and unhurriedly starting to descend.
Seeing Zi Die’s chess game, Old Commander frowned slightly at first, but shortly after, his face was filled with surprise and couldn’t help but clap the table as he shouted:
“Good chess. Good chess. He truly had some confidence. “Interesting.” Meeting an opponent in a game of chess was a joyous event in life. Seeing Zi Die, the junior expert, Old Commander was also interested, and began to fight with Zi Die. However, the more they fought, the more Old Commander’s brows locked even deeper. The speed of the falling object was also getting slower and slower, and they were beginning to hesitate.
Zi Die quietly sat on the stone platform with one hand on her knees. Under the sunlight, the shadow of the locust tree fell on her face, making her seem so natural and tranquil. Her beautiful eyes were bright and clear. Her pitch-black eyes looked down at the chessboard as if she were looking down at the boundless universe. A head of fluffy purple hair was fluttering in the wind. It scattered and scattered in the air, and strands of hair flowed in and out of the air. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
After they had fought for more than a dozen rounds, Old Commander’s body started to tremble violently. Soon after, she gave a heavy cough, feeling extremely refreshed. Zi Die regained his senses, and slowly raised his head, looking at Old Commander with a calm and composed expression. Old Commander suddenly slapped both of his legs, stood up and walked forward a few steps. Standing still, he placed his hands together in front of his stomach and caressed it as he shouted loudly: “May I ask your name?”
Old Commander’s words made Zi Die’s expression change slightly. She hurriedly got up and shook her head, saying:
“Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t. Because I forgot my name, too. But Senior can call me Zi Die. ”
Hearing Zi Die’s words, Old Commander’s gaze fell on the locket on Zi Die’s chest.
“So that’s how it is. Dia Wu’s sharp blade had broken its wings, no regrets. Miss Zi Die, I admit defeat in this match. You have this kind of way of playing at such a young age. I’ve seen it, the path of cultivation is one of the best in the world. I’ve been learning chess since I can remember. At the age of eight, my mother was no longer my match. At twenty, he was unrivalled among his peers and rarely lost. At 50, he was able to look down on the masses and not lose a single match. Who would have thought that today, you would actually lose to a junior. I am lucky to take over with you, feel a lot, Chinese chess, after all, do not fall, willing to be a friend of you. This game of chess that I played here was just for show. I wonder if you would be willing to make peace and give me some face? ”
“I dare not. The old senior was too serious. I just had a sudden inspiration, and I’m just trying my best to fend it off. A draw is naturally for the best. ” Zi Die also smiled elegantly, and quickly stopped Old Commander from talking.
“Good, good, hahaha.” Old Commander laughed out loud. His laughter was laced with tears and was even more filled with the vicissitudes of life.
Old Commander laughed and said to the head of the guest house: “Old Ruan, send these few friends off. I can see that the few of them aren’t ordinary people. One was imposing like a dragon, one was delicate like a fox, and there was one who hadn’t fought with me yet. However, I could feel his yang energy leaking out, just like Haotian. It was said that Zhuge was a prodigy throughout the ages, but in the end, it was only Liu Bei Hui who could control the dragons, and he was the real big shot. Today, I’ve finally opened my eyes. “
