Chapter 22: Playing Chess


Needless to say, the young man next to the young man was Wang Xu, who was about to arrive home.The young man was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Xu say this, and then his eyes were moist again, and he quietly turned his head to prevent Wang Xu from finding out, and he didn't look at Wang Xu beside him, and his voice trembled slightly: "Okay, since this friend is interested, then let's make the next game, friend, please first." ”Wang Xu smiled slightly and nodded, then sat directly opposite the young man, looked down at the chess pieces on the chessboard and said, "Yes, I like the neatly placed chessboard, so that it feels like playing." ”Hearing this, the young man suddenly looked up at Wang Xu, frowned slightly but didn't say anything, just stared at Wang Xu.Wang Xu didn't care about the young man's gaze, reached out and picked up the horse on the chessboard and took a step forward, and said casually: "Everyone else likes to be the first cannon, so I'll jump the horse first, it's as boring as others walk." ”When the young man heard this, his eyes, which had been languishing, finally opened, and he stared at Wang Xu with a surprised expression, as if he had discovered something incredible.Wang Xu smiled slightly and said: "Friend, why don't you play chess, but you have to concentrate on it, otherwise any small mistake you make will become a factor in your failure." ”The young man looked at Wang Xu in surprise, then his eyes gradually became firm, and he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll start." ”Next, the two of them went back and forth, killing on the chessboard, Wang Xu and the young man both stared at the chessboard carefully with a solemn face, calculating each other's approximate next move, and then studying the number of moves behind them.This game of chess was played for half an hour, until finally, Wang Xu's two soldiers rushed into the young man's hometown, completely sealed the young man's handsomeness, and announced that the game was completely over.Wang Xu defeated the young man, looked at the young man with a frustrated face, and smiled: "Don't underestimate the little soldiers, when there are no chess pieces such as carts and horses and artillery in the later stage, the little soldiers can play a role in turning the tables, which will make you lose." ”After playing a game with Wang Xu, the young man seemed to be a little happier, no longer as full of worry as before, and shook his head helplessly: "Alas, I really lost in the same place, this friend's chess skills are really good, I admire it" Wang Xu smiled slightly and smiled: "Where is it, I'm just a fluke, look at your friend, you seem to have something on your mind, can you tell me about it" After the young man heard this, his eyes, which were already a little bright, dimmed again, and sighed slightly: "Since my friend wants to listen, Then I'd better find someone to talk to" This young man's name is Zhang Ming, he is as old as Wang Xu, his parents have been gone since he was a child, and he has always been dependent on his grandmother.It was not easy for his grandmother, relying on her own little sewing skills, she raised Zhang Ming as an adult.Although he grew up with his grandmother since he was a child, he was very happy, he was poor but never complained about anything, he always hoped that he could grow up quickly, so that his grandmother could enjoy happiness as soon as possible.Zhang Ming likes to play chess with his grandmother the most, although his grandmother is a woman, but her chess skills are quite good, which also makes Zhang Ming practice a good hand of chess since he was a child, and some adults can't play him.Life passed so plainly, and finally, Zhang Ming grew up, had the ability to be self-reliant, and finally had the ability to repay his grandmother's kindness.But Zhang Ming encountered an opportunity at this time, a friend who had played since he was a child planned to ask Zhang Ming to open a store together, and the store was quite promising, if Zhang Ming participated, the future would definitely be bright.But what made Zhang Ming embarrassed was that the store was opened in another city, and if Zhang Ming went, then he would leave his grandmother here alone.Originally, Zhang Ming planned to take his grandmother with him, but his grandmother was old and unwilling to leave the place where she had lived all her life, and after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Ming decided to give up this opportunity and stay here to take care of her elderly grandmother.But Zhang Ming's grandmother didn't agree, she felt that men should focus on their careers, so they quarreled with Zhang Ming.Zhang Ming saw that his grandmother was really angry, although he was still relieved, but in the end he listened to his grandmother's words and went to another city with his friends to develop.Although Zhang Ming went to another city, he still couldn't rest assured that his grandmother would send half of his salary home every month, and would come back to play chess with his grandmother whenever he had time to rest, striving to accompany her more.In this way, a few years have passed, and Zhang Ming's development over there is getting better and better, but he still insists on going home often to reunite with his grandmother, and he feels very uncomfortable watching his grandmother get older and older.Not long ago, Zhang Ming wanted to open a branch in Panshui City, and Zhang Ming offered to follow this branch, so that he could stay with his grandmother and take care of her.After the application was approved, Zhang Ming happily sent a letter to his grandmother, telling him about his situation and telling his grandmother to wait a few more days, and he could play chess with his grandmother every day.But who knows, when Zhang Ming returned home, what was waiting for her was not a table of delicious meals made by her grandmother, but a cold mourning hall "I regret it so much, why don't I go back a few days earlier, if I go back a few days early, I can see my grandmother for the last time, but now" Speaking of this, Zhang Ming was already in tears, his face was full of self-blame and remorse, and Wang Xu was sad for a while.Saying that, Zhang Ming looked down at the chessboard in front of him, and a trace of tenderness flashed on his face: "It is said that people will return to their souls within seven days after death, I wait here every day, waiting for my grandmother's soul to arrive, accompany her to play chess one last time, and then confess to her personally, but it is already the seventh day, and there is nothing" Wang Xu has been silent and listened to Zhang Ming tell the matter as it is, and then sighed slightly and said: "It seems that you are also a filial person, but it's a pity that creation makes people, so don't blame yourself too much, I'm sure your grandma will understand you. ”Zhang Ming smiled reluctantly and said: "I'm much better, you played a game of chess with me just now, the number of paths and habits are very similar to my grandmother, it feels like playing a game of chess with my grandmother again, it can be regarded as a wish of mine." ”Wang Xu smiled: "It seems that I have done you a favor." ”Zhang Ming looked up at Wang Xu and asked: "By the way, I haven't asked this friend's name yet, my friend's chess skills are so good, let's make friends in the future, how about learning more" Wang Xu looked at Zhang Ming mysteriously and said: "My name is Wang Xu, in fact, my chess skills are not very high, mainly because I have the guidance of a master today, so I can win a game for you, and the purpose of my coming here is because there is a respectable old man, although she has passed away, but she asked me to come over to comfort her poor grandson." ”aa2705221:
