Chapter 32 Early morning, river, chessboard

The morning light passed through the clouds and spread alleys. The bamboo forest in the quiet courtyard swayed gently. The slightly yellow bamboo leaves flew like a small boat. The toad that walked out of the toilet held his mobile phone and stepped on the bamboo leaves and walked into the eaves. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he raised his face, and stepped out his big foot and reflected into his eyes, and then enlarged!

With a bang, Lao Sun, who rushed out of the room, hugged his robe and ran to the toilet quickly. He ran into the toilet with another whisper. Under the eaves, the toad Taoist lies there with a loud bang, with his long tongue hanging down at the mouth, and his limbs twitched slightly. The toad eyes were still staring at someone on the fluorescent screen, teaching food.

‘Why haven’t Liangsheng come back yet…didn’t he say there are soup dumplings…’

The apprentice who Toad thought about went out early as dawn. These days, they have been out for a long time. Occasionally, Toad Taoist or Lao Sun will follow him, but most of them are him. If the weather is good, they often go to the stone bridge head by the river, watch others play chess and bask in the sun. Lu Liangsheng even feels that he is a bit like Lu Taigong back then and lives an old man's life.

The morning sun was scattered on the eucalyptus by the river, and the rustling sound. Listening to the bridgehead not far away, a bunch of old men gathered around the chess and playing chess with their beards and stared at each other, Lu Liangsheng simply took out "The Endless Mountains and Seas" to read, used his magic power to explore the painting, trying to find out the reason why it could not be opened, and reached out to subconsciously grab the side, but unfortunately there was no tea.

...It's time to create a cup of tea.

Lu Liangsheng just thought about it. There were so many people here, and there were no tea shops. He suddenly drank with a teacup. He moved his body and sat down under the mottled treetops. He pulled out magic power like silk threads and slowly penetrated into the booklets, thinking about it carefully.

Know...know...

Know......

The river breeze blew, holding over the white shirt, the cicadas roaring on the treetops above their heads, and suddenly a sound came from their ears: "There are not many young people who are at ease reading now."

Lu Liangsheng maintained his magic power and turned his eyes to the side. An old man wearing a morning exercise jacket, with his beard shaved on his face and stood there in a spirit. He had a chessboard under his arm. He smiled and glanced at the book in Lu Liangsheng's hand.

"The mountains and seas are vast? What kind of book is this? I saw it for the first time? I wonder if I can give me a look?"

The old man in front of me was seen by the scholar. The other party often played chess with people at the bridgehead here. I wonder if it was too late today and I couldn't find a chess friend, so I saw him sitting here reading books. However, since they were all book lovers, Lu Liangsheng naturally would not refuse. He withdrew his magic power and used a trick to cover up the moving picture. After sorting out the corners of the book, he took it in his hands and handed it over.

"What's wrong? The old man likes to take it to see it, it's just some daily paintings."

Seeing this subtle movement, the old man's face smiled even more. He quickly put down the chessboard first, took it carefully with his hands, and stroked it gently on the cover. The cover he touched only felt a simple texture and couldn't help but praise it.

"The more refined and gorgeous the humanistic books are, the better the book is, and few people know that this is the favorite of our generation who likes books."

I don’t know if the old man knows paintings. He turned over the pages of the book and looked at the mountains and rivers outlined in the green ink, ferocious beasts, and the city style. He read them silently for a while before closing the book and returning it to Lu Liangsheng.

"It's not a bad thing to like reading books, but it doesn't mean much to just look at paintings. You might as well find more ancient Chinese texts."

Lu Liangsheng just smiled. He was an ancient man. After all, he was tired of reading books at that time. It was like reading modern literary works. Unfortunately, there were no bookstores nearby, and the book collections were in the school, so he was not allowed to enter.

"The old man was joking. I can't be considered a book lover. I just like reading. I want to go to the school library recently, but unfortunately the guards there didn't allow them to enter."

The old man looked handsome, gentle and polite, and did not respond. He took the chessboard and raised it: "The ancients said that a gentleman knew six skills, it is better to talk about a game by hand."

Uh... Lu Liangsheng didn't understand some things about chess at this time, and it was different from the chess scenes he had at that time.

He looked at the chessboard for a moment, looked at the sky, and refused for the time being.

"It's getting late today, I have to go back, otherwise someone will go hungry."

This time it was the old man's turn to be stunned. He didn't say anything more. He looked at the young man who stood up and said goodbye to leave, frowned slightly. Could it be that his family was poor or had a patient at home that needed care?

He turned his eyes subconsciously and looked to the direction of the school. This child likes books and wants to go to the library. Is it to fulfill his preference for reading books? Or is he studying?

The old man who kept thinking about what he was thinking, naturally Lu Liangsheng, who left here, naturally didn't know. On the way back, he returned to Ningtian Lane. He knew that there was a breakfast shop nearby. He had eaten it once before, and it tasted pretty good. In the past, more than ten people were waiting to buy soup buns in front of the shop. Most of them were working nearby, and some elderly people were also queuing up to bring some to their families.

When Lu Liangsheng was about to wait for Lu Liangsheng, the store master saw him and smiled and shouted, "Handsome Lu is here." He just packed two cages together, and then took three bowls of porridge to put them together. When he calculated the money, he lost two yuan. The store owner didn't want it, so he tied the bag and handed it to Lu Liangsheng.

"Take it, don't need to look for it anymore. I know you will come. These are all for you."

"Okay, then I'm not pretentious, I wish my master a prosperous business."

Lu Liangsheng said thanking with a bag and turned around and walked into the alley. The shopkeeper smiled and buried his head in the empty cage. A diner inside said with a smile: "Let's collect less, too?"

Others also started to make excuses.

"Yes, everyone else can get cheaper, we are at least a ten-year-old customer."

"The master thinks that he is handsome and wants to find a boyfriend for his daughter?"

"Hey, if you have food, you can't stop your mouth. My daughter doesn't have to worry about getting married." The shop put down the empty cage and turned to them and smiled, "But if you dare to live in the Wu family yard, I won't make any money.

"That person was the new one just now? He is so brave."

"I also heard from the wife of the family that day that I saw a young man coming out of the courtyard. I was cheated by an agent again, but I don't know how long I could last."

"What do you think of ghosts?"

"The Wu family's wife looks like she is, she will definitely not look good even if she is hung."

It seemed as if they were talking and joking, but the faces of several diners in the store were a little bad. Especially a few days ago, they could vaguely hear a shrill ghost cry. After shouting, they ate the food silently and left in a hurry.

.........

"Master! Lao Sun, come here to eat the bag."

Lu Liangsheng greeted neighbors nearby, pushed open the yard door and went in, shouted into the room, closed the yard door, walked into the room and put the breakfast on the round table, shouted again to the bedroom. The Toad Taoist rushed out hurriedly, jumped onto the round table and pulled the bag, and threw the phone over.

"Master is not playing anymore?" Lu Liangsheng took the phone over.

Over there, Taoist Toad held a piece of soup bag and bit a gap. He took a sip and burped comfortably. Then he slowly pulled the dough and threw it into his mouth. He said while chewing:

"Someone just sent you a message, asking you for it."

Lu Liangsheng looked through the phone in his hand and frowned.

"That's called Gao Tianqiu?"

"Who else isn't he? You can hear the old toad yelling inside in each toilet." Outside the house, the Taoist came out of the toilet on the other side with a light look on his face, put his cell phone in his hand, washed his hands at the well, threw the water stains, wiped his body casually, picked up a bun and threw it into his mouth.
