The Era of Game

50 The Man

This hut is about the same size as the previous small bamboo house, but it is simpler and more elegant, and a bit less elegant than the small bamboo house. But just a few wooden houses with doors and windows, no terraces or small vegetable gardens. But because it was built near the lake, it was pretty pleasant.

The white-clothed man walked straight into the wooden house, as familiar and innocent as if he had returned to his own home.

No, it should be said to be more rude than returning to my own home. If you go back to your own home, somehow you still have to greet your guests. But he was no one beside him. He didn't even glance at Chen Zhong, Chen Yi and Wan Jingtian who were following him, and went straight in alone.

Wan Jingtian could guess in his heart that this wooden house was the residence of Chen Zhong and Chen Yi; and the man in white clothes had acted like this. It is estimated that his bamboo house and vegetable garden were destroyed, and his heart was temporarily resentful.

If Wan Jingtian's house and vegetable garden were destroyed because of others, it is estimated that he would behave more fiercely than the man in white. It's possible to scold your father, scold your mother, or even beat others. It's definitely not just holding your breath like this. Besides, the things in the vegetable garden seemed to be especially important to him.

The behavior of the white man is still in an understandable category, but Chen Zhong and Chen Yi's are a little strange.

After the white-clothed man entered the house, Chen Zhong and Chen Yi did not follow.

Chen Yi threw Wan Jingtian into the wood shed beside him, and found a shovel to pin the door of the wood shed from the outside, regardless of how Wan Jingtian shouted and smashed the door.

After that, he went to the main house of the wooden house, which was a stop outside the door of the man in white—that image, although it was a bit prestigious; but that meant, it was like guarding the door for the man in white?

Chen Zhong was even more strange. He jumped directly on the roof, then sat down on the roof, closing his eyes and saying nothing.

Wan Jingtian looked through the window of the firewood room and then through the window of the main house. He could faintly see the man in white clothes entering the house and falling asleep. He was quite calm.

But isn't that wooden house where the brothers lived? The man in white was displaced and came to live temporarily. Why did the dove occupy the magpie's nest and become the owner?

After a while, it was the early morning of the next day.

The morning in the forest is very foggy, cold and humid.

Wan Jingtian didn't know when he fell asleep, so he got up in a daze, and when he moved, he felt pain all over his body.

He leaned over to the window of the firewood room and saw that the outside scene was almost exactly the same as yesterday: the robust hunter Chen Yi was standing outside the main house, and the handsome swordsman Chen Zhong was meditating on the roof. It's just that there is a middle-aged man who is dressed plainly but well-groomed outside the door. He is in his forties. He has a linen gown and has an elegant manner. He drags a pair of Go endgames in his hand. He said to the gatekeeper Chen Yi: "The general does not have to lie to me, you two If you will guard like this outside the house, Mr. Ziyun must be here."

Although Chen Yi is bold and unrestrained, he is not a contemptible person. At this time, facing the courteous gown visitors, the attitude towards Wan Jingtian was much better than yesterday. He said: "Mr. Ye Zhi, my husband is really not here. You know, he has been self-proclaimed in the enchantment, he has been concentrating on recovering from illness, and has not been in contact with the outside world for three years."

At this time, there was a cough in the house.

Ye Zhi pretended to be puzzled: "If that's the case, who is coughing in the room?"

"This..." Chen Yi was clumsy and didn't know how to answer.

Upon seeing this, Ye Zhi said, "The general does not have to worry too much. I came to Mr. Ziyun, just want to talk to him about this endgame. I have been studying this chess game for several years and have been puzzled. I think except for Mr. Ziyun, No one can solve my doubts anymore. But my husband has been living in seclusion, leaving me nowhere to find. A year ago I heard that your two generals were here, so I hoped to see Mr. Ziyun and he was nearby. Lived down and became neighbors with you. This year, we have been getting along well, and you know my difficulties and requests. Yesterday I received a letter from Huang Luanniao saying that Mr. Ziyun had left the enchantment and came here for the night. I didn't dare to interrupt late at night, so I rushed here early this morning."

"But sir really..." Chen Yi didn't finish speaking, and there was another cough in the room, which was heavier than before.

Chen Yi looked in the house embarrassedly, then looked at Ye Zhi, sighed, and turned back into the house.

Chen Yi's voice came from inside the house: "Why is Mr. coughing again? It's time to take the medicine, let's take the medicine first."

Seeing Chen Yi entering the house, Ye Zhi just wanted to follow in, but the sky drew a sword air, cutting in front of Ye Zhi, blocking Ye Zhi's path.

Ye Zhi was so frightened that he retreated three steps before standing still. He looked up in the direction of the source of the sword energy and saw Chen Zhong on the roof staring at him. Chen Zhong said angrily: "Mr. Ye Zhi is a man of ethics, why did you enter the house without permission from the master?"

Wan Jingtian muttered in his heart: You all turned away the guests, so you are embarrassed to talk about "ethics"?

But Ye Zhi didn't think so. On the contrary, he was very sorry and said, "No wonder the general, I was too worried about Mr. Ziyun's body just now, so I forgot the etiquette for a while. Mr. Ziyun, is his body still bad? ?"

Seeing that Ye Zhi didn't mean to force himself in, Chen Zhong closed his eyes and meditated again, and stopped replying.

Ye Zhi didn't care about Chen Zhong's rudeness, just sighed and continued to stand silently outside the house.

Wan Jingtian looked more and more confused: Who are Bai Yi and Chen Zhong and Chen Yi? It's so arrogant! He listened to Ye Zhi in charge of Chen Zhong and Chen Yi as generals, so the sick Yangzi frankly asked the two generals to guard the gate for him? Who is that sick person? Isn't it a relative of the emperor?

But when I thought about it, I thought it was impossible. If the emperor's relatives were sick, they should be served by a large number of attendants and doctors. How could they be so pitiful that they only took two people to hide in the dense forest to recover?

After a while, Chen Yi came out of the house. He said to Ye Zhi: "Since you have heard everything, I won't lie to you anymore. My husband is indeed in the house at this time, but he is not feeling well. He has just taken the medicine and fell asleep. So please come back. Right."

Ye Zhi thought for a while and clasped his fist: "Please take care, sir! I will leave this endgame here, and hope that the general and his husband wake up and tell him to help Ye Zhi break this predicament."

After that, he put the flat chessboard in his hand on the doorstep, turned and left.

Only then did Wan Jingtian realize that Mr. Ye Zhi is not an ordinary person, otherwise it would be impossible to hold this endgame. After standing for so long, he would still be able to ensure that the chessboard is not slanted and the pieces are not crooked. If it was someone else, it was estimated that I was so tired that my hands were shaking. Even if the chess pieces were not scattered all over the floor, the situation would have been messed up.

About half an hour later, the white-clothed man, Mr. Ziyun, woke up. He walked to the door, saw the endgame on the steps, sat down, added a black piece on the chessboard, removed three white letters, and then added a white piece and a black piece.

Chen Yi watched by the side, wondering: "What does this mean, sir?"

Ziyun turned around and went back to the house, and said, "Ye Zhi will come back in the afternoon. If you return this chessboard to him, you will be regarded as paying him for the herbal medicine."

"What kind of herbal medicine?" Chen Yi was confused. Ziyun did not answer.

In the afternoon, Wan Jingtian was amazed.
