Falling Snow Ruoying

Chapter 7: Chess

It has been a week since I came to Xijiang, Luo Ying was bored in the room thinking, although Su Qing would often come to play, and Su Lie would bring some small toys, but when there is no one around, the boundless loneliness will continue come to mind.How strange!Obviously already used to loneliness, why do I long for comfort when I come here?

The "squeak" sound of the door opening interrupted Luo Ying's thoughts, and when she looked up, it turned out to be Su Qing.

"Sister, I figured out the Sudoku yesterday." Su Qing happily ran to Luo Ying's side, and handed over the completed rice paper with Sudoku written on it.

After all, she is a child, curious about everything she sees, Luo Ying couldn't help laughing when she took the rice paper.Seeing Su Qing's dirty hands and tired face, the girl must not have slept all night.

"Sister, look quickly, don't keep staring at me." Su Qing complained, and Luo Ying started to watch.Qing'er is smart, and the answers she wrote are not bad at all, but she still hasn't learned Arabic numerals, and there are traditional characters written all over the page, which looks very neat.Seeing Luo Ying checking, Su Lie turned around and played with the toy Su Lie sent.

"Brother Lie gave my sister so many fun things! I don't even have such a blessing." Su Qing said enviously.

"It's just a small toy for ordinary people." Luo Ying put down the paper in her hand, looked up and said, "Qing'er is really amazing, there is nothing wrong with her."

"That's right! My brother also praised me for being smart! It's just that I didn't concentrate." I stuck out my tongue.

"Then to reward Qing'er for being smart, I'll teach you a game."

"What game?" Su Qing asked expectantly, there is another fun game, what will it be this time?

"Qing'er, do you have Go?"

"Yes. My brother taught me before, but every time I play chess with my brother, I lose. Does my sister want to play Go?"

"No, but I need to borrow the Go board and chess pieces."

"Then I'll order someone to get it." Su Qing called out a hidden guard to give some instructions, and the things were brought over after a while.

It's good to have a subordinate, Luo Ying thought, but still introduced: "I originally wanted to teach you how to play Reversi, but it's not easy to accept the pieces. Let's play simple backgammon today."

"Gobang?"

"Well. The rules are very simple. You and I each hold black and white pieces. Whoever gets five pieces in a row first wins. It doesn't matter if it is horizontal or vertical." He said and made several gestures on the chessboard.

"All you need is five sons in a row? That's too simple, let's start quickly." Su Qing was eager to try.

Luo Ying nodded, picked up a sunspot and said, "Let's start!"

The two played alternately, Su Qing could only follow Luo Ying's steps when playing for the first time, but ended up being defeated several times in a row.After finally getting familiar with it, he wanted to turn over but was intercepted by the opponent. His own chess pieces were scattered, but the opponent's chess pieces were in order, and the winner and loser gradually became clear.

"I'm not going down here anymore." Su Qing said coquettishly, she reached out to fetch the fallen white stone, but was gently bounced away by Luo Ying. "Qing'er, you have no regrets, don't play tricks." Luo Ying said with a smile, and put down a sunspot to end the game.

"Isn't it a very simple game? Why have you played so many games and lost more and more each time?" Su Qing complained.

Just as Luo Ying wanted to comfort her, she was interrupted by another door opening, this time it was Su Lie.

"What are you playing?" Su Lie walked over slowly.I thought it was Go, but the chess pieces placed here are really not the way of Go.

As if seeing a savior, Su Qing ran over and pulled Su Lie over, and said pitifully, "Brother Lie, Sister Ying taught me a new chess game, but I can't beat her in a single game, you have to help me .”

Su Lie nodded her sister's nose, and said dotingly: "I am not as good as others, and I blame others."

Su Qing said unconvinced: "This chess is wicked. If you play it, you may not be as good as me."

"Then I really want to give it a try." Looking at Luo Ying, "What kind of chess are you playing so much fun?"

"Based on Go, all you need is five pieces in a row." Looking at the two people fighting in front of him, Luo Ying felt a lot more relaxed.

"I wonder if Miss Luo is willing to play a game with me." Su Lie asked expectantly.

Luo Ying hesitated for a moment, then nodded after thinking for a moment, "It's harmless, of course I am willing."
