Chapter 5 Fives

The second round of Fenglin Thatched Cottage Bu Yuan led Fang Guohuan over two mountains, and then walked to two wooden houses on a hillside.There were still more than ten meters away from the wooden house, so Bu Yuan called out, "Is Seventh Brother Zhu at home?" As soon as he said that, a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter came out to greet him.When the man saw Bu Yuan, he couldn't help but said happily: "So it's Brother Bu Yuan." Seeing Fang Guohuan beside him, the man asked, "Who is this little brother?" Bu Yuandao: "This is a new friend of mine, Brother Fang Guohuan." The man smiled and said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm Zhu Qi." Fang Guohuan hurried forward and said: "So it's Brother Zhu Qi."

Zhu Qi let Bu Yuan and Fang Guohuan into the wooden house.This is a typical hunter's house in the mountains. The walls are covered with animal skins, and a large bed is supported by wooden stakes beside the wall, which can sleep five or six people.There are bows and arrows and an old waist knife hanging behind the door, and a bright steel fork stands beside it.There is a large wooden table in the middle of the room, with a few simple wooden stools placed around it.There is a stove next to it, and the charcoal fire in the stove is burning, making the room very warm.Zhu Qi called Bu Yuan and Fang Guohuan to sit down, poured two bowls of fried rice water, and said to Bu Yuan, "If you don't come, I'll still go find you."

Bu Yuan asked, "What's the matter?" Zhu Qi said, "Recently, the mountain has been covered by heavy snow, and a leopard came out of the mountain hungry." When Bu Yuan heard this, he was refreshed and asked, "Is there any trace?" Zhu Qidao: "This beast often haunts Beishan. It has injured several villagers and killed two cows. These days, the brothers are looking for it. I guess there will be news in these two days." Bu Yuan was a little confused: "It's a pity that I have something to do, so I can't go for the time being. But if there is news, you can find me at Fenglin Thatched Cottage." Zhu Qiyi said in a daze: "Why? ? Are you still looking for that monk? I don’t know which company you invited to come this time?”

Bu Yuan laughed and said, "This is Brother Fang." Zhu Qizhi was startled again when he heard this, and looked at Fang Guohuan, surprised, "It's this brother? I really can't tell." Bu Yuan laughed and said: "Don't look at Brother Fang Xian who is young, but he has some guts. He dares to fight hungry wolves to save people. He is also very insightful in chess." Zhu Qiwen's face was surprised when he heard it. While talking, it was getting late, Zhu Qi said: "Later, I will go to the village to buy some wine." After speaking, he took a big gourd and went out.Bu Yuan then said to Fang Guohuan: "Let's sleep here tonight, and go to our business tomorrow." Fang Guohuan said blankly, "I'm sorry, I don't know what Brother Bu asked me to do?"

Bu Yuandao: "My virtuous brother is good at chess?" Fang Guohuan said seriously: "To tell the truth, Brother Bu, my chess skills were taught by my predecessors, and I have never lost to others." Bu Yuan said happily: "This That's it, as long as my younger brother beats the monk on the chessboard tomorrow, I can get a treasure." After speaking, Bu Yuan's face was filled with excitement.Fang Guohuan asked in surprise, "But it's a valuable thing?" Bu Yuandao: "It's a priceless treasure to me, a rare slingshot." Fang Guohuan shook his head and said, "What's so good about a slingshot? Brother Bu is so happy."

Bu Yuandao: "I don't know, my dear brother. This is a precious bow called 'Overlord Bow'. It is extremely powerful. It is good for shooting iron balls. Two years ago, I met a monk named Zhishan in the Fenglin Cottage. , that is, he has this bow in his possession. The monk showed me that the power of the projectile can break trees and rocks. I like it. If you know that the hunter in the mountain has a good bow and knife, it is like having an extra life. I will Ask the monk for this bow, and I would like to exchange it for it, or buy it with a lot of money. The monk will not accept it. As long as I find a good player in chess to fight with him, if I win him, I will give this bow. The monk will give it to me. He taught me how to play the slingshot, which aroused my enthusiasm. I used animal skins to invite four chess masters. Who knows that the monk is good at it, and all four of them were defeated by him. Bu won the Overlord Bow and will be grateful to you for the rest of his life." Fang Guohuan said with a smile: "That's why, since Brother Bu likes this slingshot, it will be your wish tomorrow. Even though the monk is a master at chess, he is not enough. I'm afraid. When my younger brother traveled around the rivers and lakes with his master, he often played chess with masters, and he was able to handle it. I also hope to meet a real chess master."

Bu Yuanxi said: "Excellent! It seems that my virtuous brother has met a good master." Fang Guohuan felt sad when he heard this, and sighed: "Master's luck was not good, so he was wandering in the rivers and lakes. My younger brother was careless when he was young. After I lost my home and followed my master, besides teaching me how to read and write, he also taught me how to play chess day and night. He said that I could beg for food on this chess in the future. Because I had no money to buy chess equipment, I chose those two-color chess pieces. I use stones, and my master also uses stones to teach me how to practice chess." Fang Guohuan continued: "In the past six months, my chess skills have been comparable to that of my master's. I play chess in my free time, and I win and lose each other. Master is very happy and said It is rare to meet an opponent now, and in a few years, he will be invincible in the world. Master also said that Emperor Yao set up chess for me, because I am a person with chess roots."

At this moment, Bu Yuan was already dumbfounded.Seeing him like this, Fang Guohuan smiled and said, "Brother Bu, you don't have to believe everything. Master often speaks big words to play tricks on people. This is also true." Bu Yuan stood up happily, and said with a smile: "Your master must be knowledgeable. He trained a master like my brother in chess, and he must have won the Overlord Bow for me, Bu Yuan. Say, brother is sure that tomorrow will be a great event!"
