Go, the sky is round and moving, and the place is quiet.

-

Li Peichen is dead.

"Suicide? Yo, what a pity, chess genius."

"It's all done by myself. Playing chess well is better than nothing."

"What about the family property of hundreds of millions? It is said that it was donated not long ago. It is obvious that I have long wanted to commit suicide."

"I just said, everything is afraid of being famous. How about playing chess? If you are famous, you will still be dirty, and you will be inserted into the back door?"

"What kind of chess genius is a homosexual!"

Li Peichen is a young genius, born in a Go family, a scholarly family, the elders are deeply obsessed with Go.Li Peichen began to learn chess at the age of four, and Li Peichen showed an extraordinary chess sense and talent, which made everyone in the Li family very excited. Since the Li family had a chess genius, they have been lonely for 20 years.

Li Peichen lived up to expectations, won the world championship in one fell swoop, and became a veritable genius. He was not yet an adult that year, only 16 years old...

In the days that followed, the young Li Jiuduan was invincible in the chess world. When it comes to Go, no matter it is before or after, there is no substitute.

All of a sudden, the overwhelming news seemed to be overwhelming, letting everyone in the world know that this young man named Li Peichen was a big hit.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that this Go master with excellent reputation, friendly and unassuming, when he was 35 years old, at this peak period, the headlines of the news suddenly broke out that the king of chess was actually is gay.

Facing the camera, Li Peichen admitted it frankly, but he didn't expect that this matter would become so troublesome. On the way to Shanghai for the competition, someone stopped him at the hotel where he was staying and shouted that Li Peichen was a pervert.

In the match three days later, Li Peichen lost one to three to a player named Chen Jing.

Half a year later, the Li family broke up with Li Peichen because of the homosexual incident.

Ten months later, Li Peichen collected all his property for donations.

A year later, the media announced the suicide of a generation of chess masters.

Since then, Li Peichen has become a gossip, occasionally mentioned, and only charitable organizations, while receiving donations, received a suicide note that the donor did not want to make public.

——"When everyone pays attention to whether I play chess well or not, no one pays attention to whether I like to play chess or not. People who like to play chess have no talent, and those who don't like to play chess are talented. This in itself It’s just a kind of joke. In order to fulfill my parents’ wishes, I struggled desperately in the nineteen lines. Life is nothing but black and white, gray and white without freedom, always so monotonous and boring. This kind of monotonous joke becomes more and more serious. The more it gets worse, everyone can laugh at me and satirize me, but the only thing that makes me desperate and want to cry is that my family... also thinks I'm weird."

At dawn there was movement outside, it seemed that people born in the alley got up very early, the sound of children going to school, the tinkling of bicycle bells, and the greetings of old neighbors, although noisy, but still I always feel very energetic and hopeful.

Li Yizhi opened his eyes, but he couldn't see anything, his eyelashes trembled, and then they were closed. Then he got up and put on his clothes, walked out of the main house to wash up, and took a deep breath of the air mixed with mud that is unique to courtyard houses. In a daze, it turned out that I was dreaming again, dreaming of that desperate previous life again...

Li Yizhi is blind, maybe he was too superior in his previous life, so God is always fair, when he opened his eyes again, although he did not die, he became an orphan, a blind man.

When he was six years old, he met a young man named Li Zhen, who asked him to call him Master and named him Yizhi.

Only then did Li Yizhi know that his fate with Go was born in his blood, in his bones, and could never be shaken off. No matter how many lifetimes it took, there would always be a miraculous karma.

This young man named Li Zhen is the first chess genius of the Li family. Time has gone backwards. In this world, there is no Li Peichen, but there are Li Zhen and Li Yizhi.

Master is a chess idiot, not like Li Yizhi, Li Zhen likes Go, he can go without eating or sleeping all day, slovenly, just staring at the chessboard.

Li Yizhi looked at him and realized what a real chess idiot is, but his previous life was a kind of blasphemy against Go.

Li Zhen lived with Li Yizhi, so he would naturally teach him to play chess, but when the other party said he didn't like it, Li Zhen smiled tiredly, and just said, "It's fine if you don't like it, it's nothing good."

Although Li Zhen is slovenly and looks idle, but he is a veritable celebrity. To participate in big and small competitions, it is common for him to stay away from home for three to five days or even a month. When Li Yizhi was in his early twenties, Li Zhen patted his ass. Went home, just said that there was something to do, and then disappeared.

Fortunately, Li Zhen got a generous prize money every time he participated in the competition, so Li Yizhi wouldn't starve to death even if he was left behind.I live alone in a courtyard house, which is quite empty. In my previous life, I have been used to facing the chessboard quietly. In addition, the people in the alleys are very enthusiastic. In this age, although there are no mobile phones or computers, I don’t feel so lonely. .

After Li Yizhi washed up, he went back and made the quilt by himself, and then he was going to go for a walk and buy something for breakfast.

In the past, the tutoring was extremely strict, and there was morning exercise every morning. When the sky was still gray early in the morning, he had to go for a run. Li Yizhi was a lazy person and didn't like to move around, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Although no one forced him in this life, it may be because of his blindness, his ears are surprisingly good, and he sleeps very lightly. Whenever there is movement in the alley, he wakes up. At first, he was very annoyed, but then he heard the sound of the crowd coming and going. , but fell silent.

Li Yizhi took the money and was about to go out to buy breakfast. As soon as he opened the door, he heard something rustling. He couldn't see it, but his hearing was very keen, and the thing was very close to him.

Next to the stone pier at the gate, a child about ten years old quickly stood up from the ground, and there was a large knitting bag in his hand, which was similar to the belongings of migrant workers entering the city. The rustling sound just now was the boy dragging Sent from the knitting bag.

The little boy was wearing a tracksuit, and the gray pants still had dust stuck to the ground just now.Standing up and looking up at Li Yizhi, he had a small face with some fleshy baby fat, but he pretended to be old-fashioned with a sullen face. He stared at Li Yizhi warily at first, but later he found something strange and couldn't help shaking his hand tentatively. After confirming that Li Yizhi couldn't see anything, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and then he straightened his face, even though the other party couldn't see.

Li Yizhi listened for a while, and knew that there was someone beside him, but he didn't make a sound for a long time, so he could only say, "Um...how are you?"

The boy was obviously a little nervous, but he still had a stern face, "cold", and in the eyes of others, he probably said a little bit of a fart, "I'm looking for Li Jiuduan."

Li Yizhi obviously didn't expect the other party to be a child, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "He's not here...he won't be here for a short time."

The boy pursed his lips, and the flesh on his cheeks protruded together. It's a pity that Li Yizhi couldn't see it, otherwise it would make people want to pounce on it, and it must feel good.

The boy said "Excuse me", still very old-fashioned, and then he grabbed his luggage and made a rustling sound, as if he was leaving.

Li Yizhi shook his head, probably he came to visit his master, Li Zhen has a great reputation, and many people came here because of his reputation, but Li Zhen didn't like to accept apprentices, and even if he did, some people couldn't stand his temper.

Could it be the master's illegitimate son?Li Yizhi walked to the entrance of the alley to buy some breakfast, and thought about it while walking. In fact, the master is not very old, only in his thirties, and it seems normal to have such a son.

When he came back with the breakfast, just as his hand touched the door, he heard another slight noise.

Behind Shidunzi, there is a child with a stern face and a face of "you can't see me, you can't see me anyway" hiding there, looking at the door from time to time.

Li Yizhi stopped, turned around, and faced the boy.

The boy was startled, feeling that he had exposed his whereabouts, so he simply stood up, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Li Yizhi said, "I didn't lie to you, he is really not here."

The boy nodded and realized that the other party couldn't see anything, so he said dryly "Oh" again, which was his agreement, but he still didn't leave.

Li Yizhi recalled the voice he heard just now. It seemed that the boy was carrying luggage. He paused and said, "Where are you from?"

"..." The boy stared at Li Yizhi for a few seconds, as if he was guarding against whether he was a bad person, and then said in a serious voice: "Nanjing."

In this day and age, it takes a day and a night to travel from Nanjing to here by train, which is not easy for a child.

"What are you doing with him?"

"..." The boy looked at him again, and then said coolly, "Learn to play chess."

Li Yizhi nodded, "Do you want to come in? I don't know when Li Jiuduan will come back. If you don't have a place to live, you can stay here for a few days."

The boy was shaken, and he tugged on the luggage cautiously, but he couldn't lose face, his fleshy little face was rigid.

Li Yizhi smiled, shaking the breakfast in his hand, "Come in, the breakfast is still hot, we just want to eat together."

The boy dragged his luggage, followed Li Yi carefully into the gate, piled the luggage in the corner of the living room, and sat on the chair in a regular manner.

Li Yizhi put the breakfast on the table, sat opposite the boy, took a bun himself, and pushed the rest to the boy.

The boy must have suffered a lot along the way, but he didn't refuse, and he didn't fart any more. He grabbed food and stuffed it into his mouth hungrily.

Only then did Li Yizhi remember to ask his name, and said, "Eat slowly, if it's not enough, I'll go out and buy some more... What's your name?"

The boy seemed to have no time to pay attention to him, and he said something perfunctory while eating, but his mouth was full of food, and he didn't know what he said.

After he ate two buns and had a solid stomach, he realized that he had lost his composure. After coughing, he straightened his face again, and said in a mature manner, "My name is Chen Jing."

As soon as the words fell, Li Yizhi's steamed stuffed bun fell to the ground with a "poof", flicked it cheerfully, and rolled to Chen Jing's feet.
