Chapter 17: Chess Fate in Taoyuan
The clothes of people in the source are similar to those of people outside the source, except that the threads of their clothes are thicker.
Li Xiaomu was a little surprised to see them living contentedly and contentedly with the world, "Is this the legendary paradise?"
Hearing the voices, people nearby saw Li Xiaomu and Li Xiaomu coming in from outside, and they all came over to say hello, and they were very enthusiastic.
The languages are surprisingly similar.
They said that they had settled in this Peach Blossom Land for a long time. There were no wild beasts or wars, and they lived a self-sufficient life.
They asked what year it was now, and Wu Yilian told them that it was the year 1620 of Dasheng Kingdom.
The people in Yuanzhong were very surprised and said that their ancestors came here not long after the founding of Dasheng Kingdom.
An old man with white hair sighed: "I didn't expect that it has been so long!"
People in Yuanzhong rushed to invite Li Xiaomu and Li Xiaomu to their homes.
At this time, a girl with a ponytail stopped everyone in the crowd and shouted: "Oh, have you forgotten something important?"
"What's going on----Xiao Zi Jiang?" The person in the crowd was confused.
"Huh? Have you forgotten?" The little boy raised his head and inspired, "What clan rules do people coming in from the outside have to abide by?"
A middle-aged man suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "No one from outside has entered this paradise for many years. We have all forgotten it."
"Oh, yes, then take them to your home quickly. If they don't know how to get off, don't they have to be driven away immediately?" The white-haired old man said with a smile, "Say that we people in Taohuayuan Village are not good at it.
Isn’t it unkind to be hospitable?”
Li Xiaomu and the two don't know what happened.
Li Xiaomu hurriedly introduced himself to Xiaozi Jiang and asked her what was going on.
Xiaozi Jiang said that the patriarch of Taohuayuan Village has set a rule: people who come in from outside must play three games of chess to decide how long they want to stay in the village.
I lost all three games and had no chance. I had to leave after dinner.
Win a game, how many goals you win, and how many days you stay.
If you win two out of three rounds, you will be considered the winner and you can live there for one year. You will be eligible to play three rounds against the clan leader.
If you can beat the clan leader, you can get rewards.
"What's the reward?" Li Xiaomu asked with a smile.
"This is a treasure from the Peach Blossom Land." Xiao Jiang smiled and said, "I forgot to ask you, do you people outside play Go now?"
"There are also various competitions." Wu Yilian said, "Do you play often?"
"There is nothing to enjoy after farming. Both adults and children are addicted to chess as much as their lives!" The white-haired old man stroked his beard and said kindly, "If you stay here longer, I can play with you.
.I hope you can pass the first level."
Li Xiaomu nodded. Only if you know yourself and your enemy can you fight without danger.
"How is your village chief's chess skill?" Li Xiaomu asked.
Xiaozi Jiang immediately saw what Li Xiaomou was thinking.
"Don't worry, he sometimes loses against other people." Xiao Zi Jiang said, "But compared to the clan leader, that's far behind."
Xiaozi Jiang was walking in front, passing by the large pond in Yuanzhong, where an old man wearing a bamboo hat was fishing.
He had a leisurely look and was not focused on the fish floating on the water.
"Old Jiang, how many fish did you catch today?" Jiang asked the old man and ran over happily.
"Seven or eight," Lao Jiang said with a smile, looking at Li Xiaomu and asking about their expressions.
Young Jiang hurriedly introduced the two of them to Lao Jiang.
It turns out that Lao Jiang is the village chief.
"Then let's go back together." Lao Jiang put away the fishing rod.
Lao Jiang's fishing line turned out to be a thin hemp thread with no fishhook at all.
Li Xiaomu was confused and couldn't ask. Maybe people here just use fishing lines.
The little boy Jiang went to the pond and picked up a fish basket.
As soon as the fish basket came out of the water, several fish were jumping happily in the basket.
It was so shocked that Xiaojiang almost couldn't hold it.
"Still jumping?" Little Jiang shook the fish basket and shouted to the fish, "I will eat you right away!"
The four of them came to a thatched hut, and Xiaozi Jiang introduced Li Xiaomu and the other two into the small courtyard.
Beside the yard is a flowerbed, with pink petunias, garlic seedlings and green onions dotted in the green.
Taking a feather duster, Xiaozijiang dusted the wooden stools next to the stone table clean, and said to Li Xiaomu and Li Xiaomu, "You guys sit down, I'll pour the water."
Lao Jiang walked under the eaves, took off his bamboo hat, put away his fishing gear, and walked from the eaves to the yard.
Only then did Li Xiaomu see Lao Jiang clearly. He had a kind face, bright eyes and a red face.
The moon-white linen clothes make her appear slimmer and more elegant, with a fairy-like air and no worries in the world.
Li Xiaomu bowed and cupped his hands, and said frankly: "Old man, my junior sister and I escaped from the bad guys and came to your beautiful Peach Blossom Spring Village. I hope I won't cause any trouble to you."
"It will be safe when you reach Peach Blossom Spring Village." Lao Jiang said with a kind face, "Those who are not destined to find the entrance to Peach Blossom Spring Village will not be able to find it."
"I sealed the entrance of the hole with dead branches," Wu Yilian said.
"The entrance to the cave changes at any time," Lao Jiang wrote lightly.
"The mountain is moving?" Li Xiaomu said softly, deducing that this was the only possibility. If they also had super powers, it would be terrible.
Lao Jiang placed the chessboard on the stone table and took out the rattan chess box from the middle of the stone table.
Old Jiang shouted to the room: "Little Jiang, we're cooking. I washed the bacon early in the morning. You cook it, pull out a few garlic sprouts, and stir-fry the bacon. Then kill a chicken and stew the ginkgo nuts. Let's play the next round.
, I guess it’s about the same.”
"Hey----" Xiao Jiang poked his head out of the room, "I haven't killed a chicken yet."
"It's easy to become pedantic if you're too kind." Lao Jiang turned around and replied, "Try your 'air knife'."
Little Jiang turned around and went to catch the chicken.
Wu Yilian hurried over to help.
Lao Jiang grabbed a few chess pieces and held them in his hand, reaching out to Li Xiaomu - guess first.
Li Xiaomu guessed double, Lao Jiang opened his palms and counted, there were only seven chess pieces.
Li Xiaomu stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please."
"Haha, it's my first time to get sunspots." Lao Jiang said with a smile on his face, "I applied seven and a half eyes first, it's a bit stressful."
The first piece at the beginning, Lao Jiang seemed to be casual, playing on the small end, taking a realistic approach.
Li Xiaomu gently picked up a white piece from the chess box with two fingers.
The chess piece is a bit heavy, but feels excellent, delicate, warm and soft.
Li Xiaomu held the chess piece in his hand and looked at it. It was not Yunzi. He couldn't help but praise: "Good chess piece, Lao Jiang, what kind of material is it made of?"
"It's just pebbles in the mountains. Although they are a bit hard, they are smooth when we touch them often." Lao Jiang said calmly.
Li Xiaomu slapped Bai Zi on his lower right corner, trying to gain momentum.
The sound of the falling pieces is extremely crisp, and this effect can only be achieved by a solid chessboard and excellent chess pieces.
The chessboard is no less than the torreya (fei) wooden chessboard of the island country, and the chess pieces are no less than the best Yunzi.
Lao Jiang started with "Xing Xiaomu", Li Xiaomu should start with "Outside the Eyes? High Eyes" in the AI era.
Lao Jiang's eyes lit up and he praised: "Xiaomu, your layout is super novel and grand."
Lao Jiang thought for a moment and landed on his own sideline, transforming into a "three consecutive stars".
Li Xiaomu immediately leaned on the black chess star position, and the two sides were finalized on the upper left. Li Xiaomu did his job, but fell behind.
Wu Yilian helped Xiaozi Jiang catch the chicken and did not dare to watch her kill the chicken.
