Chapter 34: Chessboard Code Words, Village Sentiment

Early the next morning, the four of them set off and left. After staying in the courtyard for many days, Xuan Yingli looked back a few times, feeling a little reluctant to leave. It was a rare opportunity to enjoy the feeling of home.

But Leng Xiaoshuai was cheerful and heartless. He had a pure heart and could be said to be able to take it and let it go.

Lu Fengnian looked at the two of them, but smiled and said nothing. Luo Xixian also didn't say a word. Both of them focused on the chessboard on the carriage.

According to Mr. Lu, those who are good at planning must be good at playing chess. At this moment, Luo Xixian was sitting in front of the chessboard inexplicably, scratching his head and ears.

Seeing this, Lu Fengnian smiled happily, finally feeling the pleasure of winning a game. Seeing Luo Xixian like this, he asked after placing a piece: "The chess piece is either black or white, what does the little girl belong to?"

As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind, Luo Xixian simply closed his eyes and made a random move, and then said: "It doesn't matter whether it is black or white. It depends on whether the person playing chess is suitable."

Lu Fengnian, who was about to open his eyes and play again, found that his chess pieces were surrounded and had no way out. He stared at Luo Xixian with wide eyes, who smiled shyly: "Mr. Lu, this game is for Xixian." Victory." Lu Fengnian, who was shamelessly defeated by him, had his thoughts completely washed away.

Lu Fengnian thought to himself: What a spoiler. But he asked: "Little girl, there are so many chess pieces, how can you be sure that your chess pieces will not help the opponent to surround you?"

Luo Xixian smiled happily when he heard this: "Mr. Lu, this is really simple. If it all becomes mine, it will be fine."

Lu Fengnian couldn't bear to see her look like this on New Year's Eve: "Be careful, the heart of a person is too weak to swallow an elephant. How can this little girl have such a loud tone?"

Luo Xixian, who didn't care, still smiled and said: "Hey, you don't have a strong tone, why did Mr. Lu get on my carriage?"

In the carriage, you and I were going back and forth, swords and swords flashing. The two people outside the carriage were confused. No, it was Leng Xiaoshuai who was confused. He scratched his head and asked Xuan Yingli beside him: "Brother Ali, what do you mean? The young lady and the others are talking nonsense. It’s just a game of chess and they are chattering away.”

Xuan Yingli looked at Leng Xiaoshuai's innocent eyes and replied: "Your little sister and the others have eaten too much at lunch and are a little bored. The two of them are eating to eat."

"Oh." Leng Xiaoshuai didn't care much, he was just too bored along the way and asked to pass the time.

When the two people in the carriage heard Xuan Yingli's reply, they sprayed the tea in each other's faces. Lu Fengnian was so regretful that his intestines turned green. It had only been one day, how could the rest of the day be so good? Why did he suddenly become soft-hearted? I agreed. I really should let my eldest grandson seek happiness for himself. It's too late to regret it.

On the opposite side, Luo Xixian clenched his fist, lifted the curtain, and kicked the two of them away, while Lu Fengnian in the carriage looked dumbfounded.

The two people, covered in mud, ran back and got back on the carriage. They didn't dare to say a word and continued to drive the carriage.

Lu Fengnian asked Leng Xiaoshuai curiously: "Who am I talking about? You are stupid, right? You didn't make a mistake, why did this little girl kick you?"

Leng Xiaoshuai replied: "You are the stupid old man's son. My little sister likes to kick me, and I also like to let her kick me. Can you care?"

Lu Fengnian pulled several beards shorter at once and looked at Luo Xixian in disbelief. He felt that he had offended this boy and yet he was not forgiven.

But what he couldn't understand was why this boy seemed so drunk by this little girl and was willing to be beaten.

The carriage carried a group of people chatting and joking all the way, and they gradually drifted away from Jixia.

Outside the city of Yueyang in the State of Qin, after climbing over a mountain and walking for several days, we found ourselves in a small mountain village.

That night, a carriage came. Dogs were barking in the middle of the night, and lights were lit in several houses. The man at home looked around and saw a handsome young man getting out of the carriage. He was dressed like a scholar.

The boy holding a book seemed to be relieved.

A man from one of the families was very brave. He opened the door and walked towards the handsome scholar. He said carelessly: "Sir, why are you in our village so late?" with a thick accent.

, I didn’t understand what I heard, and I thought I was asking about my visit at night.

The handsome young man who was asked raised his hands and saluted the man and said: "Eldest brother and younger brother Lu Qingchen want to go to Yueyang City. But we can't make it in time. It's getting late now and we can't reach the village. I want to stay here for the night."

Then he bowed deeply again.

The man was a little in a hurry and hurriedly helped Lu Qingchen up. He turned around and yelled towards the house. He heard a rustle in the house and a woman came out, presumably the man's wife.

When the lady suddenly saw Lu Qingchen, she felt like a god. She hurriedly touched her hair and straightened her clothes, her face turned slightly red. She suddenly turned around and shouted to the man to go back, then turned around and invited Lu Qingchen and his party to enter her house.

After a sudden change of expression, Lu Qingchen and the book boy were a little dazed, and followed them into the house in a daze.

The woman welcomed Lu Qingchen in and hurriedly brought two cups of warm water and two hard steamed buns.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lu Qingchen thanked him hurriedly, and the book boy quickly stepped forward to take it.

"I'm from a farmer's family. It doesn't matter. My man's surname is Niu. Just call me Sister-in-law Niu. That's what everyone in the village calls me." Although the woman has an accent, she can understand what she means. And the man surnamed Niu knows the other person.

She didn't understand what he said, so she stopped talking and just nodded in agreement with Sister-in-law Niu.

"Thank you, Brother Niu and Sister-in-law Niu." Lu Qingchen and Shutong bowed to the couple again.

Lu Qingchen, a son of the aristocratic family, is also a person who can endure hardships. Seeing the hard steamed buns and warm water, he thought that it was appropriate to have a sudden visit in the middle of the night and not have time to prepare. But when he took the first bite, the couple stared at him.

When he swallowed, he realized that it was different from what he thought.

He raised his eyes to look at the two couples. He couldn't eat the steamed bun anymore, and he didn't know how to refuse their eager eyes. Suddenly, the corner of his eyes looked at a patched clothes corner at the door. The couple surnamed Niu followed him.

He looked at the hem of his clothes with his eyes.

Sister-in-law Niu walked over quickly, dragging the owner of the clothes to go to the side room.

Lu Qingchen was already following behind him. It turned out to be a timid little girl. At this moment, her eyes were staring directly at him, the steamed bun in her hand.

Seeing this, Mrs. Niu hurriedly said to the little girl: "Go back to your room to sleep quickly, don't disturb the guests."

How could Lu Qingchen receive such a favor? He hurriedly called the mother and daughter, stuffed the bun into the little girl's hand, and handed her a glass of water.

Sister-in-law Niu was about to refuse, but Lu Qingchen quickly said: "Sister-in-law Niu, I'm not hungry. I'm just tired from traveling for days. Can I take a rest first?"
