Chapter 24: Robbery on the road

Views:

Ai Dianshi was very polite when he saw Ye Xiaotian, and asked him to sit in the car, and asked a few words, Ye Xiaotian made up a few random words, and Ai Dianshi said: "Listen to your conversation, you are an elegant person, can you play Go? ?”

Ye Xiaotian cupped his hands and said, "Xiaomin only knows a thing or two."

Ai Dianshi smiled and said: "There is no need to be humble, come on, let's play a game."

The car bumped badly on the rugged mountain road, but Ai Dianshi used a magnetic chessboard. Ye Xiaopan spent his time in the dungeon since he was a child, those high-ranking officials don’t know how to play Go, so when Ye Xiaotian was still wearing open crotch pants with a runny nose, he was already playing Go through the fence with those ministers, servants and foreign ministers.

So to be honest, Ye Xiaotian's chess skills are really good. However, all his food and supplies along the way belonged to others, and he had to rely on others for protection and safety, so he couldn't make others feel uncomfortable, so Ye Xiaotian began to release water on purpose.

In the first match, Ye Xiaotian took a slant and narrowly won. Ai Dianshi got acquainted with his style in the second set, and the two gradually stalemate, finally taking advantage of Ai Dianshi's negligence, Ye Xiaotian won again. On the third plate, he started to pour water.

Put down two black and white seats alternately on the sideways four-pointed star position, Ye Xiaotian looked aggressive, and aggressively made the first move, Ai Dianshi immediately picked up a move, and the two started playing chess.

In the middle game, Ye Xiaotian's first-mover advantage was gone, and after a dozen more moves, Ai Dianshi gained the upper hand. Ye Xiaotian struggled desperately, but unexpectedly made a mistake in his busy schedule, and Ai Dianshi took away two chess pieces in a row. The wind fell.

But after Ye Xiaotian took a long test, he suddenly made a move, and the whole chess board came alive again, which made Ai Dian very nervous. After thinking for a long time, he returned to the Central Plains, and played an elegant and light flying piece, with a faint murderous intention It severely cut off Ye Xiaotian's vitality.

After more than ten moves, Ye Xiaotian took another long test, and finally heaved a long sigh, and with a sad face pushed the scales to admit defeat. This chess was played with many twists and turns, Ye Xiaotian was obviously at a disadvantage, but he almost turned the game several times, now finally admit defeat, Ai Dianshi is very happy.

Ye Xiaotian smiled wryly and said: "My lord is very good at chess, but Xiaomin's chess is a wild move, and he can still bluff people at the beginning. Once you are familiar with Xiaomin's chess style, my lord will be helpless."

Ai Dianshi smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "Ye Xiaotian, you are yielding to me."

Ye Xiaotian was startled, and denied it flatly: "Where did the little people give in, you are really a clever adult..." Halfway through the sentence, Ye Xiaotian suddenly stopped talking when he saw Dian Shi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Ai Dianshi picked up the bag slowly, and said leisurely: "Even though I know you are letting me, I am still very happy to win."

Ye Xiaotian chuckled.

Ai Dianshi said: "This is the human heart. Even if it's not for winning, but for your thoughts, I feel at ease. However, if you let go of the water from the beginning, will I praise you for being straightforward? No, that is Lengtouqing, you can play chess like this, but people don't like it if you do it like this.

However, you went all out in the beginning, defeated me first, aroused my competitive spirit, and then gave in step by step. Even when you decided to let go, you didn't let me win easily. Natural joy. If you can't see through your intentions, you will be overjoyed, but if you can see through your intentions, you will also have a good impression of you because of your good intentions, don't you think so? "

Ye Xiaotian said in his heart: "I don't want you to know my intentions, how can I sell you? Do you think you can penetrate people's hearts? I have spent many years in the den of foxes who have become spirits before I come out. figure."

On the surface, he looked terrified and ashamed, and repeatedly accused him of crimes. Ai Dianshi waved his hand and said: "You are very good. You are knowledgeable and interesting, and you can be a man. You are thoughtful and clever. You are a piece of jade in the rough and worth carving."

Ye Xiaotian immediately left his seat with surprise on his face and said: "I hope the adults will cultivate it."

"Get up, get up."

Ai Dianshi said casually: "I'm going to Hu County, and I have to employ people around me. You are very smart. If you want, you can stay with me and do things. I'm here to go to Hu County. I never brought my family with me. I always have someone It’s good to have caring people around to help with everything.”

Ye Xiaotian said in his heart: "I just wanted to play chess to make you happy, but I didn't expect you to have this idea, which is a good idea, but it's a pity that Shui Wu has already been appointed by me, and there is no way for you to try to trick my wife. "

But there was a look of surprise on his face, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sister She has a gentle temperament and good looks, she hasn't married yet, if you lack someone close to you, my lord..."

The melancholy man smiled from the bottom of his heart this time. This kid is really smart and has a good eye.

He smiled brightly and said: "Okay! If that's the case, you don't have to listen to it in the house. I will find something for you to do in the yamen. You will follow me in the future, and I will not treat you badly!"

Ye Xiaotian expressed his thanks again in trepidation, but he thought in his heart: "I'm going to fool you, a pervert, lest you drive us out of the car halfway. When we arrive in Huxian County, the young master pats his ass and leaves. You are such a decent person. Can you keep people shamelessly?"

From this day on, the relationship between the two parties became closer. Gradually, Ai Dianshi's followers also knew that Ye Xiaotian would soon become Mr. Dianshi's cheap brother-in-law, so their attitude towards the three of them became more friendly.

The entire no-man's land is difficult to navigate, so the road is very long. Fortunately, they brought enough food. Occasionally, woodcutters and mountain people passed by. Seeing their extraordinary people along the way, they would avoid them early and would not contact them.

On this day, we went to a mountain depression, and saw a stone tablet engraved under the cliff. According to the record on the tablet, it was only one day's journey from Huxian County, and the whole team became excited. While walking, Le Yao suddenly said: "Brother Xiaotian, I want to pee."

Ye Xiaotian jumped out of the car, and said to Ai Dianshi and his party: "Everyone go first, I'll take Yaoyao to make it easier, and come right away."

Because there are cobblestones everywhere, it used to be a waterway in ancient times, so the car walked very slowly, and it was easy to catch up with a faster walk, so there was no need to stop and wait, so Ai Dianshi's team did not stop, but went straight Go to the mountain pass ahead.

Shui Wu also jumped out of the car, took Le Yao's hand, walked towards the roadside bushes, bent down, and whispered, "Yaoyao, you can't say it out loud when you want it to be convenient, especially to men, Do you know? I taught you before, but why did you forget it again?"

Le Yao said unconvinced: "Brother Xiaotian is not an outsider."

Shui Wu said: "That's not allowed! You are a lady of the family, so you have to look like a lady of the family. If you don't learn the rules now, you will be laughed at when you grow up. You can't do this in the future, do you hear me?"

Leyao pursed her lips like a piggy, and replied, "Oh!"

Ye Xiaotian followed behind, listening to the conversation between the two of them, he couldn't help laughing.

The valley was full of round cobblestones, without any shelter. They went all the way to a small ravine overgrown with weeds on the side of the road. They walked up the ravine and walked about a dozen steps before finding a place to hide. .

Ye Xiaotian waded out of a place in the grass, wading like grasshoppers and grasshoppers, and after making sure there were no snakes or insects, he said to Shui Wu: "I'll wait for you next to you."

Ye Xiaotian parted from the grass and walked out. At this time, the team in the mountain depression did not stop, and they had already walked out of a stone's throw away. Ye Xiaotian stood on the hillside and looked into the distance. Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed across his eyes, causing him to squint slightly. When I looked again, I found nothing.

Ye Xiaotian had never been a soldier, nor had he ever laid an ambush, so he naturally didn't know that it was a knife light hidden in the grass. He glanced at the slow-moving team, then lay down on the soft grass, put his hands behind his head, and crossed his legs.

The azure sky is extremely blue and pure, with the few branches in front and the white clouds in the distance, there is a feeling of extreme loftiness, which is a scenery that cannot be seen in Beijing. Looking up at such a scene, it seems that people's minds are also lofty.

Behind the bushes, Le Yao suddenly said: "Hey, there seems to be some movement."

Ye Xiaotian sat up across a clump of bushes when he heard this, and said anxiously: "Girl, what's wrong?"

At this time, Xue Shuiwu's frightened voice came from behind the bushes: "It seems... It seems that there is indeed movement."

"You two, don't move, beware of snakes and insects." Ye Xiaotian picked up a branch as thick as a forearm, and quickly passed through the bushes. Le Yao had already tied up her little skirt, and nestled in Shui Wu's arms tremblingly. Ye Xiaotian asked alertly: "What did you find..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped his voice suddenly, because he also heard a low growl, the voice came from behind the bushes on the right front, and the low growl made people's hairs stand on end when they heard it.

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly gestured to Shui Wu to signal her to protect Leyao, then he gripped the branches tightly and tiptoedly pushed aside the bushes. Cautiously walking through the bushes, I suddenly found several wild beasts circling a big tree in the distance.

Ye Xiaotian's heart tightened: "Could it be a wolf?"

What I saw in front of me were several dog-like animals, smaller than ordinary dogs, and larger than foxes, with brown hair and slightly square mouths, unlike ordinary dogs with pointed mouths, Ye Xiaotian thought. : "What on earth is this? Could it be a wild dog?"

Ye Xiaotian's guess was pretty good. The wild beasts circling the big tree with their heads up were indeed dogs, jackals, and another name was jackals. Although they were smaller than wolves and dogs, they were smaller than dogs. The wolves on the prairie are even more ferocious.

Fortunately, the three of Ye Xiaotian were in the downwind, and the jackals were focused on the prey in the tree, they didn't smell them, and they didn't notice them, otherwise the three of them would be full of wolves.

There was an animal on the tree, and Ye Xiaotian didn't even recognize it. This animal has a chubby body, a short tail, and the whole body is made of black and white. It looks like a bear, but it doesn't have the viciousness of a bear. Instead, it has a naive and cute look.

Amidst the low growls of several jackals, it clumsily climbed a little higher. When it turned its head and looked down, it saw a big round head with two dark circles drawn on its round face, even though it was in danger. In the middle, it is also an embarrassment to look at.
