Chapter 51

After breakfast, Aunt Wang pointed out to them the scenic spots that tourists on the island would visit. Although Pei Xin has lived here for a long time, he has never been too lazy to join in the fun. At this time, he was also lacking in interest: "Isn't this just a high mountain? Is there anything strange about it?"

Aunt Wang shook her head in disapproval. : "Master, you have lived on the island since you were a child. Of course you don't think it's strange. Isn't it the first time for Xiao Yu to come here? Why don't you accompany me for a walk?"

Li Wen Yu asked Pei Xin to accompany him, so he waved his hand quickly: " No need for Aunt Wang, I can just go out for a walk later. I don’t like to go to those scenic spots, there are too many people.”

“How can that be done,” Aunt Wang put away the dishes. She is a native and a very good host. She realized, "We're already here, we have to try the special features and see the sea view."

She simply handed the tourist map she got in the morning to Li Wenyu: "Xiao Yu, take a look for yourself. If you're really afraid of the crowd, you can pick two. " Let's go shopping somewhere nearby."

Li Wenyu pursed his lips and said nothing, but Pei Xin reached for the map and scanned it, frowning and said lightly: "Okay, we won't come back for lunch at noon. You can just eat outside."

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Aunt Wang will prepare delicious food for you that night."

Pei Xin got up and was about to go upstairs to change clothes, but suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "By the way, Aunt Wang . "Li Wenyu is allergic to seafood. Don't buy seafood."

Aunt Wang responded repeatedly in the kitchen: "I know!"

After a rain, the thick clouds above my head dispersed at some point, and the spring rain came. In a hurry, the long streets were washed away.

The large continuous firecracker flowers on the wall garden were blown by the wind like waves. Pei Xin, wearing a black baseball cap, held a map in one hand and looked at it for a few seconds, then turned to look at Li Wenyu next to him: "Where do you want to go? , It just rained and it was not suitable for climbing, so I didn’t go to Qianguangyan. "

Qianguangyan is the highest place on the island. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire island and the large sea area.

Li Wenyu thought for a while and pointed to a small area in the center of the map: "Let's go to this Humanities Memorial Hall. There happens to be a sea view garden next to it."

After the rain stopped, tourists on the island filed out, and Li Wenyu resumed his work. The impression of the hustle and bustle of a tourist destination.

The memorial hall is not far from here, it only takes ten minutes to walk. Li Wenyu, wearing a turtleneck sweater, gradually began to feel suffocated while walking in the crowded crowd, so he slowly moved to the edge.

There is a row of ancient locust trees with thick trunks on the roadside. The branches hang low and the leaves almost fall into the water, reflecting the lush green waves on the water.

Li Wenyu leaned against the tree and took a few breaths. When he turned around, he found Pei Xin standing behind him, with a teasing expression and a careless voice: "I'm tired after just a few steps." "

It's not that I'm tired, it's just that I'm too bored." Li Wenyu said.

Pei Xin said, "Then walk slowly."

The two of them walked along the railing, with a much wider view. They could see the still dense crowds of people in front and the trees winding along the road.

A few steps away, an old man dressed a little strangely was leaning against an ancient locust tree. How weird it is, he shaved off most of his hair, leaving only a strand on the top and tied it up high. He was wearing a shabby clothes with no original color, and his neck and face were covered in black.

So pedestrians all avoided him, and even the locust tree seemed empty.

Li Wenyu continued to walk forward and saw that what was in front of him was not a begging bowl, but a small and broken cart. There was a half-played chess set on the cart, and two sesame seeds wrapped in plastic bags hung from the iron handles.

There was no one across from the old man, and he was playing with the chess game by himself. It wasn't until Pei Xin and Li Wenyu passed by that he looked up from his meditation, with a bright smile on his dark face: "Young man, do you know how to play chess?"

When he spoke With a thick accent, Li Wenyu thought about it for a few seconds before realizing what he meant. Pei Xin, who was next to him, put his hand in his pocket and said slowly: "Yes."

Li Wenyu looked at Pei Xin in surprise, blinked and said nothing.

The old man immediately beamed with joy and quickly took back the pieces on the chessboard: "Come on, come on, play a game with me!"

Pei Xin stepped forward to the opposite side of the cart and took the chess piece with red chess pieces from him. box.

Li Wenyu is not very good at playing chess and only knows the rules. Out of curiosity as to why Pei Xin agreed to play chess with such an old man here, he sat on a bench next to him and watched the game.

Pei Xin slightly lowered his head, the brim of his baseball cap covering the upper half of his face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly. He played unhurriedly, with almost the same amount of time between each move.

The old man opposite had a smile on his face and was very fast. Although Li Wenyu couldn't quite understand, he felt that he was a very powerful master.

There were people coming and going around, and the combination of Pei Xin and the old man was obviously very eye-catching. It didn't take long for several people to join in the fun. Judging by the way he was dressed, he was probably a resident of the island. He was familiar with this old man, and his accent was also very strong: "Old man, there are actually young people playing chess with you today, how strange it is!"

The old man looked up while making moves, smiling so much that wrinkles appeared on his face. From the corner of his eyes, he tapped the edge of the chess box with his finger: "This young man is playing very well!"

Pei Xin smiled and played chess faster and faster. The sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard was crisp, but soft, swallowing black elephant.

"Well played! Well played!" The old man raised his head in appreciation. He began to think a little while moving the chess piece, but he was still decisive after he saw it correctly.

There were fewer and fewer pieces on the chessboard, and the chess game slowed down.

The people around him were chattering and analyzing the situation. They got closer and closer, joking to the old man: "Old man, you are going to lose again today!"

Pei Xin chuckled, raised his face slightly, his profile was smooth and handsome, and he held the chess piece in his hand. The sound of movement was covered by his loose voice: "General."

The old man stared at the chessboard and sighed, but his face still showed joy: "We lost, we lost again today!"

Several people watching the chess game seemed indifferent. Unexpectedly, he laughed immediately.

The old man squinted his eyes, leaned over to look at Pei Xin's face, and exclaimed: "Young man, have I seen you before?" Pei Xin slowly put away the chess pieces on the chessboard and nodded: "Yes." A few times

.

A dark cloud slowly drifted over, and it looked like it was going to rain again. After someone accompanied him to finish the chess game, the old man was satisfied, pushing the cart, biting the cake, and walked leisurely to the other end.

A few hundred meters ahead was the memorial hall. Li Wenyu could see the queue at the ticket gate from a distance and couldn't help but sigh.

He and Pei Xinyi stood at the end of the queue. Fortunately, they moved forward very quickly, so they probably didn't need to wait too long.

Li Wenyu was tired of standing. He leaned sideways and put his hands on the railing next to him. He reluctantly put his head out of the crowd to breathe fresh air: "Have you really met the old man playing chess just now? He is often in that place?"

Pei Xin leaned back against the railing, resting his elbows on it, and said lazily: "He has been playing chess there for more than ten years. My grandpa plays chess with him every time he comes to the island."

"Then you play chess. Did you also learn from your grandpa?"

"I guess," Pei Xin looked into the distance and twitched the corners of his lips, "My grandpa was a bad chess player and often lost to that old man, so he took me over to watch and ask me to help. He won it back."

Li Wenyu nodded slowly, thinking: "It's strange that he can lose to you after playing chess for more than ten years."

Pei Xin chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and motioned for him to go. Go forward.
