Lanke Chess Edge

Yin's mother first approached the courtyard to see her husband, and found that his cheeks were red, and he was sleeping soundly on his stomach. Then he looked in the courtyard, there was no one there.

"Qing'er, didn't you say that a scary old man got your father drunk, and he left?"

Yin Qing also looked left and right, and ran to the courtyard gate to look around, but he didn't see anyone.

"Maybe he's gone..."

Mother Yin touched her husband's face and found that it was a little hot, but she couldn't smell much alcohol.

"Qing'er, come here and help your mother, we will take your father home to sleep, how much wine did your father drink?"

"It's not much, I see Dad poured it after drinking a glass."

Yin Qingteng ran back from the courtyard gate, just about to help his father up with Yin's mother, but suddenly thought of the old man's words, and hurriedly stopped his mother.

"No, no, the old man said, let daddy sleep here tonight, we'd better not touch daddy, let him sleep!"

While Yin Qing was speaking, he had already covered his father with a blanket, and carefully stuffed the hanging part of the blanket onto his father's chest, and tied a knot.

Mother Yin looked weird.

"What's the matter? If your father catches a cold while sleeping here, he's going to take the exam soon. Don't delay the trip due to illness!"

"Mom! That old gentleman..."

Speaking of this, Yin Qing looked around guiltily, then walked to his mother and whispered in her ear:

"The old man is Mr. Ji's friend, maybe...not a mortal, it's better to listen to him!"

When Mother Yin heard this, the movements of her hands also stopped.

Ji Yuan is a strange person. In Ning'an County two or three years ago, this topic was an exaggerated chat topic for other villagers and neighbors, but it was an affirmative sentence for the Yin family.

Today, three years later, there are not many people in Ning'an County who still mention Mr. Ji, and it is estimated that Old Man Sun from the Sun Ji noodle stall will occasionally say something to Yin Zhaoxian.

But Yin's family will never forget Ji Yuan, so after hearing what his son said, Mother Yin gave up her plan to take her husband home to sleep after thinking about it.

"Then, let your father sleep here overnight?"

"Well, mother, don't worry, I will wake up several times at night to see daddy!"

Mother Yin heard her son's words, reached out and knocked on his head, and put her hands on her hips.

"What do you mean getting up several times at night? Your father is drunk, so it will inevitably be uncomfortable at night. You brought tea to watch your father here in the first half of the night, and I will replace you in the second half of the night. Do you understand?"

Yin Qing rubbed his forehead, and replied weakly: "Got it."

There is always a feeling in my heart that my mother loves my father even more now.

In the middle of the night, Yin Qing's feeling became even stronger. He fell asleep for a while, and it had been a long time since he heard the watchman knocking on the clapper of the third watch, but his mother didn't come.

Although it's not autumn yet and the weather isn't too cold, it's still uncomfortable to sleep on your stomach in this courtyard, so Yin Qing had to pour a cup of tea and take a sip and wait for her mother to come over, only to find out that the clapper rang on the fourth watch. At that time, my mother came late with an apologetic face...

Dawn of the second day.

"Oh~~~oh oh oh~~~"

When Tianniufang heard the first rooster crow, Yin Zhaoxian opened his eyes naturally.

Feeling a blanket covering his body, he turned his head and found that his wife was also lying beside him covered with a blanket. Looking around inexplicably, he found that it was still the yard of Ju'an Xiaoge, and there were teapots and cups on the stone table.

"Strange, why am I sleeping here?"

After thinking about it carefully, Yin Zhaoxian remembered what happened yesterday. There was an extraordinary old gentleman who claimed to be a friend of Mr. Ji. He not only swallowed half the fruit of a jujube tree in one gulp, but also offered him a glass of wine, and then There is no intermediate memory.

Yin Zhaoxian raised his head and looked at the top of his head. Sure enough, half of the fruit of the jujube tree was missing. It didn't look like a dream.

‘Could it be that I was drunk and passed out after drinking a drink? '

Just thinking about it, Yin Zhaoxian suddenly found something wrong with the jujube tree.

"Huh? Why is a small part of this jujube red?"

I saw that the sporadic jujubes on the branches had turned red as a whole, which was very eye-catching in the green of the trees, but I just looked at it and didn't think much about it for the time being.

Yin Zhaoxian rubbed his forehead, but he didn't feel any hangover and headache. Then he looked at his wife, probably staying here with him all night, and his heart was both touched and warm.

I wanted to wake her up, but now although the crowing of the cock was starting to start, but seeing that it was still daylight, I couldn't bear to disturb my wife.

Taking off the blanket on his body and putting it on the stone table, Yin Zhaoxian stood up and moved his legs and feet. After sitting for a whole night, he didn't feel any soreness at all, but felt refreshed!

'Let's go tomorrow! '

…………

Another gust of autumn wind is blowing, the rice fields are already golden on the ground, and the maple leaves on the fruit hanging branches are red in the depths of the mountains and wild clouds.

In the boundary of Juntianfu, Yizhou, on a low peak in the depths of Junyuan Mountain, there is a grotto more than two feet deep. Inside there is a scrawny man in ragged clothes sitting there motionless, his eyes open and closed all the time looking towards the front chessboard.

"Pa-ta~"

As soon as a white porcelain chess piece fell, it turned into pieces of porcelain at the fingertips. The figure shook and finally woke up.

"Buzz... buzz..."

The green vine sword leaning on the outside of the grotto was buzzing with excitement, and the entire sword body and scabbard were shaking non-stop.

"Hey..."

Ji Yuan opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound, his dry throat could only make a hoarse exhalation sound.

In the blurred vision, you can see the fallen leaves and dead branches beside you, you can see the excrement of animals in the mountains, you can hear the sound of the autumn wind blowing in the forest, you can hear the flowing of spring water in the mountains, and you can smell the bursts of ripe or Green and fruity aroma...

The moment he woke up, Ji Yuan tried his best to empty his brain, and controlled himself not to think about any unnecessary things. There was only one thing to do, and that was to eat and drink water!

"Ho...ho..."

Standing up from the grotto staggeringly while leaning on the cave wall, Ji Yuan staggered out of the cave, while the Qingteng sword floated up amidst the sound of the front and followed closely behind.

Smelling the fruity fragrance, I came to a wild persimmon tree, looked up and saw a blur, but I couldn't reach it when I tried to grab it. Instead, my body swayed and I almost fell down.

"Rub~~~"

The sword blew and chanted, and the green rattan sword was unsheathed for the first time in three years. The whole mountain seemed to be shone with light.

Ji Yuan knelt down on the ground, tremblingly picked up the fruit on the ground, this wild persimmon is not much bigger than a jujube, and its yellowish-red appearance is very attractive.

But Ji Yuan didn't care about anything at all. He picked them one by one and put them in his mouth without washing or wiping them, and he didn't spit out the seeds. Mouth full of juice.

After more than a quarter of an hour, all the fallen fruits were eaten, and Ji Yuan didn't stop, and continued to search frantically in the mountains, eating all the edible fruits, and finally came to a mountain stream with a "plop" Lie down by the stream.

Ji Yuan buried his head in the stream.

"Gulu...gulu...gulu...gulu..."

Drink water until the stomach bulges and shrinks, and then bulges and shrinks again. I don’t know how much mountain spring water I drank in one breath. There are small fish, shrimps, mountain crabs, loaches and so on in the stream, and I swallow them one by one. Belly……

"Clatter..."

With disheveled hair, Ji Yuan raised his head, letting his body lie wet on the rocks and panting heavily.

"Whirring whirring……"

After lying down for another half an hour, he recovered some of his fate before sitting up.

He raised his hand and looked at his palm fingers. He was originally as thin as a bone, but now he looked better. He didn't know how much wild fruit he ate and how much water he drank in the past half day. He only knew that all his actions before were just trying to protect himself instinct.

The time it took to play chess this time was far beyond Ji Yuan's expectations. Although I don't know the exact time, it was definitely not short, but my consciousness was deeply shaken at that time, and I was no longer in a completely clear and rational state.

Just like when he started playing chess in a muddle-headed obsession, Ji Yuan just imitated that feeling in the moment of soberness, and used his strong willpower to empty out all other thoughts, leaving only the instinct of foraging.

Because Ji Yuan is also very aware of how much he had in the past, and he would be fine if he didn't eat or drink for a few months, but if it was longer, his life might be in danger.

In his previous life, when he just walked out of the chessboard, he encountered the search and rescue team who would die if the time was broken. This reminded Ji Yuan more than once of the "mandarin duck method" mentioned by the old man Xu in Shanghegou Village, Suiyuan County.

The self who just woke up may be similar to the state of "bigan digging his heart".

Ji Yuan didn't dare to take this risk, didn't dare to let himself guess and analyze how long had passed, and didn't dare to bump into others and be told what to say, at least not until his body was replenished.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the "mandarin duck law" will be broken, and the "wake up" damned person will be beaten with a stick, resulting in the loss of life!

But now, it's all right.

Ji Yuan eased his breath, and smiled self-deprecatingly, at first it was just a slight sneer, then the smile gradually widened, and finally it was crazy.

"Hey... heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh~~~~"

Rumbling rumbling... Laughter shook the whole field, and the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests fled...
