Chapter 1979: West City

Don't get me wrong, what Shen Long saw wasn't the Supreme God of Internet Literature, if you count his age, that guy hasn't been born this year yet, what he saw was the chess endgame in the middle of the crowd, the pseudonym Dreaming into the God Machine is actually It comes from an ancient Chinese chess game record. Shen Long glanced at the chess pieces. Judging from the pattern, it is exactly the leftover chess game recorded in "Dream into the Divine Machine".

Putting chess endgames on the street is a kind of quackery. In fact, you are not a liar if you really want to say it. They put the endgame on there. Whether you can win or not is already determined. If you insist on thinking that you are good, don’t complain if you lose. people.

In fact, the variables of the endgame are very limited, and the real endgame is the one that can eventually lead to a draw. The endgame stall owner has already memorized all the moves. He will not make mistakes, but if you make a wrong move, you will die. Even if you are proficient in all the moves in this game, it is nothing more than a draw.

It is impossible to win, and it is impossible to win in this life. Most people just give money to others; because this method is easy to use with less investment, and there are many people who like to play chess, and the audience is wide, so it used to be popular for a while. It can be seen on the streets of the city. It was not until the decline of chess that this kind of scam disappeared.

The stall was a little girl, wearing a plaid coat and a hat covering half of her face, but Shen Long recognized it at a glance. This was Xi Cheng who went to Feng Du's house to steal things back then. Xi Cheng's father was a chess master , if it weren't for her poor health, she might be able to enter the national team. She has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she has learned a lot.

So when I encountered a problem, I thought of making money with this craft, but there are many people watching the fun, but none of them actually paid to play chess. , why don’t you want to give 20 yuan to try? It’s great that you can take it away if you win.”

But still no one agreed, the big guys continued to analyze the endgame with relish, as if they didn't hear what Xicheng said, Shen Long cleared his throat and said, "This game is simple, five draws and six generals are a dead end. No matter how hard you toss, you can't turn over."

"Then you..." Xi Cheng raised his head and couldn't help frowning. Why does this person look familiar? And what does he mean by smiling at me like that?

"Hey, what are you looking at? You haven't paid back the money you owe me. I'm waiting for you to marry you when you grow up. How come you haven't heard from me since you left?" Shen Long said with a smile.

Now Xicheng finally remembered, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Hey, it's you, why did you come here!" Her only warm memory is that since returning to the capital, Xicheng wanted to find Feng Du, but she never thought that she hadn't gone yet, so she met here.

"Let's go, let's find a place to talk slowly!" Shen Long helped Xicheng put away the chess stall, and when he came out, he sent Heizi away first, "Heizi, go to Dongzi's place first, and see what is happening today. Did you get it, I'll go back tonight."

At this time, there was no Starbucks or anything, so the two walked and chatted, Shen Long asked, "Didn't you go back to your hometown? When did you come back? Are you going to leave this time?"

Xicheng's eyes were full of confusion, "I don't know. After my father died, my mother became ill again. My mother is from Beijing. I came back to see a doctor with her. Now we are renting a house."

Shen Long asked, "Since your mother is from Beijing, she should have a family in Beijing."

Xicheng explained, "The children of my two uncles are grown up, and our small courtyard is full of houses, so there is no place to plug in."

Then, Xi Cheng took Feng Du into a narrow, dirty alley full of water on the ground,

Only one person could pass, Xi Cheng walked in front, followed by Shen Long; when he walked to a broken door, he opened it and went in. Once he entered the room, it was pitch black and he could hardly see anything.

Xicheng turned on the light, and a thin middle-aged woman sat on the bed and coughed unceasingly. She finally suppressed her cough and looked up at Shen Long. Shen Long greeted, "Auntie."

Xicheng quickly introduced, "My friend, buddy."

Xicheng's mother said with a smile, "I didn't expect Xicheng to have friends in Beijing, and she never lived in Beijing for a month."

After saying a word, she coughed violently again. Xicheng hurried forward to beat his mother's back. Shen Long took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xicheng. Mother covered her mouth with the handkerchief, coughed a few times, took the handkerchief away, There was a bright red in the sky.

Xicheng told Shen Long that her mother had lung disease and had to undergo an operation, but she had no money. As for those uncles, she opposed them since her mother and her father got married, and looked down on them on weekdays. Xicheng didn't want to open this mouth.

Then Xicheng sent Shen Long out, walking out of the alley, facing the bustling street, Xicheng suddenly choked up, but held back, "Actually, my mother is in good health, but after my father died, my mother's health became worse and worse. I can't do it; actually, she misses my dad, I know, she always calls my dad's name in her dreams, they are so nice!" Then tears finally couldn't hold back, and rolled down from her eyes.

Shen Long stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's better to cry than to hold it in."

Xicheng is like a wounded hedgehog, with stabs all over his body, "No need, you people in Beijing will be hypocritical." She hasn't felt much warmth since she was a child, so she will inevitably grow thorns to protect herself.

So Shen Long wasn't angry, "How much does the surgery cost?"

Xicheng temporarily stopped sobbing, "A few hundred yuan, I just started setting up a stall today, and it hasn't opened yet."

Well, that’s about the same. At almost the same age, Su Meng’s father cost 30,000 yuan for surgery, which is too exaggerated. Even if the surgery is different, it’s not reasonable; Su Meng dared to borrow 30,000 yuan, which was quite bold.

As soon as Su Meng had an accident, she thought of asking Han Chunming to borrow money, but Xicheng wanted to make money by herself. Although the way to make money was a little questionable, Shen Long also liked her a lot because of this.

"That's not much, why don't I give it to you first, and then you can slowly figure out a way to make it better, anyway, you owe me a lot, it doesn't matter even if you can't pay, just be my wife in the future!" Shen Long said.

Xicheng chuckled, "Who wants to be your wife?" Although he said so, he felt warm in his heart, "Don't lie to your father like before, it's a few hundred yuan, I Think of a way slowly!"

"I have money, if you don't believe me, just go to my house and see!" Hey, buddy, when have I ever been short of money?
