"Well... I have a question to ask," Haneda Hideyoshi raised his hand seriously, "If Master Chi only regards Go as a hobby, he will definitely not practice and study it often. How long have you spent on Go?
?”
Chi Feichi was silent for a moment, then asked with a calm face, "Mr. Haneda, do you have any grudge against Senior Chess Master?"
He suspected that Haneda Hideyoshi felt that the old chess master's heart was not painful enough.
Haneda Hideyoshi choked, looked at the pale old chess master, and leaned close to Chi Feichi's ear, "Then tell me secretly..."
Chi Feichi calculated the time he spent playing Go in his mind, turned his head and whispered to Haneda Hideyoshi, "If all the time is added up, if allocated according to eight hours of playing every day, it may be a year."
He didn't play much in this life, but in his previous life, when he had time to relax, he would still play Go with others.
Haneda Hideyoshi whispered in a resentful tone, "I think the chess master would really want to push you off the Qingshui Terrace."
The old chess master quietly bent down and put his ear to his side: "I think the famous people in Taige also think so."
…
It was night, and a dinner party was held at the Heting Pavilion, a three-story wooden building.
The heads of families and middle-aged people who are married are distributed in the tea rooms on the third floor. The second floor is given to young people who have not yet started a family and the children who are taken care of by the housekeeper.
Each teahouse has a balcony outside, and one side of the balcony is built on a small river.
After nightfall, the clear moonlight shines on the river covered with spring cherry blossom petals. There are many wooden teahouses nearby, casting their shadows slantingly on the river and the stone road.
After dinner, Chi Feichi stopped drinking and playing games with the geisha indoors. He went to the balcony early to hide and relax, and he did not sit in the wheelchair again.
Rensaburo Shiratori very thoughtfully chose a corner where he could lean against the guardrail and enjoy the view. He helped Chi Fei Chi sit on it and stuffed a soft cushion taken from the house behind Chi Fei Chi's back.
They were not the first ones to arrive on the balcony. On the adjacent balcony, five or six young girls were already gathering on the balcony to drink tea and chat. The balcony on the other side was not empty either, and some children who had not stayed indoors to play games were also chatting with them.
The housekeeper went to the balcony to enjoy the view.
Chi Feichi listened to the melodious singing and the low laughter inside and outside the house, and poems began to flash in his mind unconsciously.
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone……
The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river...
They seem to be some not very good poems, but the atmosphere here really feels like the corruption and extravagance of the Kyoto aristocracy in ancient times.
On the adjacent balcony, Fei Mo was lying in front of the guardrail, and found Chi Fei Chi looking over. When Kuroki Jingji turned around to get something from the house, he pointed to his legs with a speechless expression, and slowly mouthed Chi Fei Chi.
Type conveys resentment.
‘Leg hurts’.
Chi Feichi felt sympathetic and gave Feimo a comforting look from a distance.
This time when he arrived in Kyoto, he spent most of the time in a wheelchair. Occasionally he got up, sitting or standing.
Hiroki Sawada can be hugged as a baby, and he can roll around on his stomach as he pleases without feeling any pain in his legs.
In comparison, Fei Mo Shota was in a much worse situation. Last night, she went to Mizunoya to sit down on her knees to eat and chat. Today, when she went to Kiyomizudera Temple, she had to sit down and eat. She finally got to a hotel where she could lie down and sleep. At night, when she arrived at Hotei, she still
You have to sit down and eat.
Feimo had never knelt and sat before. Not long after he became a human, he came to a continuous kneeling and sitting course. Of course his legs would hurt. He stood on the balcony and leaned on the guardrail, probably to relieve the pain in his legs.
But Fei Mo had no choice but to endure it for a little longer. When he got to Tokyo and was far away from these aristocratic families, he no longer had to sit on his knees.
"I brought two bottles of wine for you," Baima Tan carried the tray out, leaned over and put down the tray with wine bottles, wine glasses, and juice, and sat down with a smile, "I'm not an adult yet, so I have to drink
Juice is with you."
Chi Fei Chi looked back at Fei Mo Zhengtai, and realized that someone seemed to be staring at him. He turned his head and looked between the wooden guardrails.
This family gathering was very grand, and there were no other guests on the street where Heting was located. However, there was a teahouse open on the other side of the river, and the faint laughter of teahouse guests chatting with the geisha could be heard.
The line of sight he was looking at was from the street on the other side. When he looked there, that line of sight had disappeared. There were many people walking along the river bank admiring the scenery on the street. In addition, there was a car that had just passed the stone bridge across the river.
, a classic car slowly driving away along the road.
There were many suspects, but he still subconsciously focused his attention on that black classic car.
That car had the same strange aura as the sight just now.
This kind of antique car is expensive and not very good in performance. Only people who have a lot of spare money and pay attention to travel ostentation will choose it. Looking at the route of the car, it is driving away from the stone bridge on the road blocked by the family.
That is to say...
Did someone from the family leave early?
"I have a good drinker, so it's okay to drink," Shiratori Rensaburo sat down opposite Chi Feichi and asked with a smile, "Where is Mr. Chi? Can you drink because of your waist injury?"
Chi Feichi withdrew his gaze and said, "I can drink a little."
In the classic car that turned the corner, the driver wearing sunglasses did not glance at the rearview mirror and started talking to the people in the back seat.
"I just stared for a little longer, and I seemed to be seen."
"It seems that there are also famous shogi masters and this generation of chess masters. It seems that many people are participating in the chess game at Qingshuidai today..."
…
The next afternoon, Tokyo.
A white cat and two cats jumped into the yard of Kudo's house, raised its head and barked at the second floor window.
"Meow~meow~"
Behind the window of the room on the second floor, Subaru Okiya was sneaking a peek at Dr. Agasa's house next door. He noticed the white cat in the yard and hesitated.
That white cat must be Wuming...
But Dr. A Li is causing trouble next door recently. When Dr. A Li and Haibara Ai were cleaning up the warehouse yesterday, they found what seemed to be an antique pottery pot in the warehouse. They even took a video and posted it online to find someone to identify it. Today is the first time.
A second wave of strangers came to see the pot.
It was the first time Wuming came to his place, and he seemed to want to find him. He was a little flattered and wanted to go down and pet the cat, but he also wanted to keep an eye on what was going on next door.
In the video posted online, Haibara Ai also showed up. If the people in the organization see the face of the little girl in the video, the people entering and leaving Dr. Ali's house may be intelligence spies from that organization, and there may be people nearby.
There are also organized people wandering around...
Wuming barked twice towards the window on the second floor, squatted in the yard and turned around to lick his hair. After licking the white hair on his back, and finding that no one came to open the door, he looked up at the window on the second floor and screamed sharply.
Two sounds.
"Meow ow!"
Okiya Subaru: "..."
It seems that Mr. Chi has not returned from Kyoto. Is Wuming anxious to seek help from an acquaintance for something?
After Wu finished his name, he turned to look at Subaru Okiya's car parked in the yard, ran to the car, found the right angle and jumped on the roof of the car, and began to sharpen his claws on the roof of the car, every time he sharpened his claws twice, he also pointed towards the second floor window.
Screaming.
"Swish... Meow! Swish... Meow!..."
After a few marks were scratched on the car roof by cat's claws, the living room door opened.
In the warmer weather, Subaru Okiya was still wearing a black turtleneck sweater. As he walked downstairs quickly, his breathing was a little short, and he walked towards his car with a speechless expression.
It wouldn't work if he didn't get off. It didn't matter how the roof of the car was scratched. The key was that the nameless scream was too sharp and piercing.
If Wuming keeps calling him like that, if there are organized people next door or nearby, they may have noticed the building where he lives.
And he was worried that strange rumors would spread after nearby neighbors heard the nameless calls.
for example……
‘Isn’t it a little stressful to be a graduate student now? I suspect that a graduate student living near us is abusing cats. He seems to be a very gentle and kind person, but I didn’t expect that I heard a cat in his house that kept screaming...'
'Really, really? It's terrible!'
'Let's go and see together, I feel very uneasy...'
Then, he can wait for the upright neighbors and members of the Animal Protection Association to come to his house. He may also have to be careful of the tabloid paparazzi who may sneak into his house to look for clues and keep tabs on him outside.
(￣-￣“)╭
Anyway, that's it, he was forced out by a cat.
Wuming raised his eyes and looked at Okiya Subaru, who was reflected in his glasses. He felt that someone's aura was a bit scary. He adjusted the angle of his head and looked at Okiya Subaru who was approaching with a pair of watery blue eyes. His voice was soft and soft.
Grieved, "Meow~..."
Okiya Subaru was startled, and the dissatisfaction in his heart immediately disappeared. He walked to the car helplessly and looked at Wuming, "It seems that he is not injured..."
So why did Wuming come to him?
Wuming jumped out of the car and jumped into the house through the open living room door like a gust of wind.
When Subaru Okiya entered the house, he found Wuming jumping on the cooking table and spinning around the bags containing the ingredients.
Wuming didn't see the meat he was interested in in the bag, so he raised his head and whispered to Okiya Subaru, who was walking towards him, "Meow?"
"It turns out I'm hungry, but I don't have any meat here anymore. Those are the fruits I bought this morning. You probably won't be interested in them." Subaru Okiya looked at the fruits in the bag, smiled helplessly, and tried
He stretched out his hand towards Wuming, "But it seems that the doctor's house next door has put two bags of cat food for you. If you want to eat, we can only go there..."
He suddenly realized that it would be good to find a reason to go directly to Dr. Ali's house and keep an eye on the people who came to the door.
Wuming did not resist, and obediently let Subaru Okiya pick him up. He also adjusted his body in Subaru Okiya's arms to make himself more comfortable. He put a paw on Subaru Okiya's arm and retracted it obediently.
good.
Okiya Subaru tried to free up a hand and touched the hair on Wuming's back. After finding that Wuming was not rejecting him at all, he stroked Wuming and carried Wuming out to the next door. "I found a stranger next door, so
Did you just come next door to find me...You are really realistic."
In the past, when Xiao Ai or Dr. were at home and there were no strangers next door, Wu Ming would just jump over the fence of the yard next door and come to the door to find food, someone to take a bath, or someone to clean up the chewing gum that accidentally stuck to his body.
He has seen Wuming come to visit five or six times so far, but Wuming at most borrowed the path from his side of the wall and walked slowly to the next door. When facing him to say hello, he just turned around to look. If it was in A Li
When the doctor's family met Wuming, this cat was also very aloof. Although he would not scratch or bite anyone, every time he came close to him and wanted to pet the cat, Wuming would quickly dodge and stay away. As a result, Huihara Ai would always treat the cat with
He stared at him with a strange look that said, "Bad guy, if you dare to hurt my Wuming family, I will fight with you."
Today, Haibara Ai has not come back from school. A stranger came to the doctor's house. When the cat was looking for a place to eat, its attitude towards him was much better. Not only did it come to him, it was even willing to be held and petted by him.
It was so realistic that he wanted to say something - scumbag cat!
But when he thought about it, he felt that a cat wouldn't think so much. Maybe it was just that he wasn't that familiar with him before, so Wuming ignored him. Today, he was forced to come to him out of desperation. If he found out that he was troublesome, he wouldn't.
After getting angry, I suddenly had a good impression of him. Today was an important opportunity for their relationship to progress. Wuming will probably get close to him in the future...
While Mr. Chi is away, it shouldn't matter if you pet Mr. Chi's cat secretly, right?
