Kneeling in front of my wife’s tombstone and crying bitterly, I was reborn

The middle-aged man disagreed, which Shen Qiansan had expected.

He was not in a hurry and looked back at Old Man Zhao.

"Old man, do you want to see how I break the situation?"

Old Man Zhao smiled and said, "You have no money, so you want me to pay you!"

Shen Qiansan did not deny it and said: "Just... I'll borrow a dollar from you. When I win, I'll give you half of it. How about that?"

Old Man Zhao smiled and said, "What if you lose?"

Shen Qiansan said: "First of all, I won't lose! Secondly, even if I lose, I won't have to pay you a dollar. I will send it to you tomorrow."

Old man Zhao glanced at Shen Qiansan in slight surprise, because he saw a kind of confidence in Shen Qiansan's words.

That kind of self-confidence is just like the determination and calmness that he used to criticize Fang Qiu when he didn't retreat.

"No need!" Old Man Zhao waved his hand, "It's just a matter of one dollar, I'll pay for it for you."

With that said, he took out a dollar and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as someone is qualified, it will be the same for everyone."

After collecting the money, he said to Shen Qiansan: "It's okay now, you can play chess. Remember, you are not allowed to regret your move!"

Shen Qiansan nodded, "I'll play black, you go first."

When he said this, everyone onlookers burst into laughter.

"He thinks he can win by playing black?"

"That's because he thought wrong. He will lose faster if he plays black!"

"That's right, it's not like I've never chosen black before!"

"Young man, I advise you to play the red chess, and maybe you can stick to a few more moves!"

"Yeah, you'll definitely lose miserably if you play black."

"..."

Shen Qiansan ignored the people around him and insisted: "I play black!"

The middle-aged man smiled nonchalantly, turned the chessboard around, and said, "Just make your choice!"

Shen Qiansan didn't talk nonsense: "Then you play chess!"

The middle-aged man is in charge of the red, and he used to draw four shots at the beginning.

Shen Qiansan responded with a handcart of 6 and entered 1.

The middle-aged man's second hand shot 6-8, and Shen Qiansan responded with a rook [-]-[-].

These moves are the same as those made by Old Man Zhao and Old Man Li before.

"Look, the stall owner also walked like this, which means that what Lao Wang did before was right."

"Yes, everything above should be correct, I just don't know where I made the mistake!"

"Hey, they both fell very fast!"

"You can't tell, but this young man is still a chess master."

"It seems that he plays chess better than Lao Wang!"

"..."

The middle-aged man was aggressive at first, but slowly, his expression became serious.

For so many years, he has made money by playing chess endgames. "Cross-sea expedition" is one of his special skills. He has played not only [-] games, but also [-] games.

He knew every step by heart, and he had never encountered an opponent who could play for more than twenty rounds.

But this time, it was already the thirtieth round.

The chess game that seemed to have a high chance of winning before suddenly turned into a disadvantage!

This young man's chess moves are so sharp!

"Cannon six into three!"

Shen Qiansan shouted lowly and still killed the red chess piece.

The middle-aged man was stunned on the spot, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He actually lost!

"Won!"

"Ha! I really won!"

"Young man, this is amazing, I didn't expect you to really break his game!"

"Boss Chess, you finally lost!"

"I thought no one could win, but I didn't expect that I could actually win!"

"..."

The onlookers were laughing from ear to ear.

This middle-aged man has been setting up a chess stall here for three days, and no one has ever beaten him in a game.

Almost everyone watching had lost money to him.

Shen Qiansan has won the game now, as if he has avenged them!

"Quickly, pay for it!"

"Ten dollars! Give me the money!"

"Haha, it's finally the chess boss's turn to bleed!"

"Chess boss, do you want to play another game with this young man?"

"..."

After the onlookers were happy, they took the initiative to help Shen Qiansan beg for money.

The middle-aged man painfully counted ten bills of one dollar denomination, handed them to Shen Qiansan, and said, "I'm willing to admit defeat. Since you won, I will definitely give you the money you deserve!"

People like them who run around in the world will usually honor their bets as long as they don't "suffer a big loss".

Even sometimes, in order to "catch big fish", water will be released to give people who want to win big money a taste of the sweetness.

Ten dollars, although he had to play ten games to win it, and it felt a little painful to give it, but it wasn't enough to not give it away.

Shen Qiansan took the ten dollars, counted five and handed them to Old Man Zhao, "Old man, as promised, I won half for each person, and these five dollars are yours!"

Old Man Zhao was stunned for a moment, but did not accept the money. He said, "As I said, I will give you that dollar. Win or lose is yours!"

Shen Qiansan smiled: "Then consider me the winner and give you half, do you think that's okay?"

Old Man Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "I don't need the money. You can go through it again and let me review the game, okay?"

After hearing this, Old Man Li immediately said: "Yes, yes, let's play another game with the chess boss. I'll pay and see how you win."

When we were playing chess before, several people were watching the chess while arguing about the correct move. They didn't remember several moves, so they wanted to look at them again.

In fact, in the past few days, they have not been able to break this mess, making them sleepless and eating.

After hearing what the two said, Shen Qiansan said with a smile: "I have no problem, let's see if the boss is still willing to play chess?"

Of course the middle-aged man didn't want to.

If everyone understands his chess moves and can solve the endgame of the "Cross-Sea Eastern Expedition", then he will no longer be able to make money in this area.

"This chess game is broken, so we won't let it go!"

Firmly refused.

Old Man Zhao, Old Man Li and others saw that he was unwilling to do it again, so there was nothing they could do.

Old Man Zhao seemed to have remembered something and said: "Old Man Li, how about calling the little brother to your yard, how about we play a few games ourselves?"

Old Man Li's eyes lit up, he looked at Shen Qiansan and said, "Little brother, I think you also love to play chess. It's such a hot day, why don't you go to my place and play two games?"

The onlookers, many of whom were acquaintances, shouted for Shen Qiansan to go to Old Man Li's house.

They also want to figure out how to win.

Shen Qiansan agreed, put ten yuan in change into his pocket, and followed Old Man Zhao and four or five others towards Old Man Li's house.

On the way, Old Man Zhao asked Shen Qiansan's name.

Shen Qiansan told the truth.

Old Man Li's home is not far from the bridge pier. After exiting Qingyun Road, he walked into an old street called "Second Street", which is about 300 meters away. It is an old-fashioned courtyard.

In the yard, there was a pergola with a stone platform and several stone benches underneath. There was a chess set on the stone platform.

Old Man Li said: "Little brother, Old Man Zhao and the others live nearby and often come to my place to play chess."
