Escape to Farmland

Chapter 453 Battle Chess
When the children saw the Lord appeared, they laughed and ran away, not daring to speak out the doubts in their hearts.

No matter how young the children are, they also know that it is not very friendly to ask a guest why they come again.

"What are you running for?"

Seeing this, Ding Qingan raised his hand to wipe off the sweat from carrying water, "I won't clean you up."

Xia Huan smiled: "They are afraid that you will not be happy after hearing their questions."

"What's the problem? I'm afraid I won't be happy."

Ding Qingan squatted in front of Xia Huan, seeing that he was holding a wooden top, "Why, Xiao Huan, you know how to play with this?"

"Of course."

Xia Huan raised his chin confidently, bent down and put the spinning top wrapped with a drawstring on the ground, "Brother Ding, get out of the way, and be careful not to draw you."

Seeing this, Ding Qingan took a few steps back, watching the little guy's movements with great interest.

At the same time that his waist bounced up instantly like a spring, the wooden stick tied with a drawstring in his hand cleverly pulled, and the top spun on the spot.

When the spinning speed of the top slowed down, Xia Huan pulled the drawstring upwards in his hand. After repeating this, the top could continue to spin.

Xia Huan didn't want to play anymore after playing for a while, so he handed over the drawstring to Ning Dexiang and the others.

Embarrassed, he looked at Ding Qing'an: "Fourth Brother Ding, I'm sorry, I promised to let Dexiang and the others play."

"It's okay, fourth brother doesn't like to play this."

The boy smiled, lowered his voice and said to Xia Huan, "Fourth brother has something more fun, do you want to try it?"

"what?"

Xia Huan became interested and looked at him expectantly, "Can I play?"

"of course can."

Ding Qingan waved to him, turned around and took out a cardboard box from his schoolbag, "Come here, fourth brother will teach you."

"What's in here?"

"War chess, have you ever played it?"

The boy took out a square stool from the room, put the box on it, brought two small stools and put one on each side, "Do you want to learn?"

While speaking, he was already sitting on one of the small stools, motioning for Xia Huan to sit down too, took out the chess pieces one by one, and taught Xia Huan to recognize them.

It was the first time Xia Huan saw such an interesting thing, and he studied it very hard.

"I'm going to be this."

The little guy pointed to the chess piece of the general/division/ling, and looked at Ding Qing'an expectantly, "Fourth brother, teach me, how can I be this?"

The child doesn't know what strategizing is, he only knows which of these chess pieces has the highest position, so he wants to be that one.

"We are playing chess, we are chess players, bigger than it."

Ding Qing'an explained patiently, "Look, we hold it, and it can appear wherever we want it to appear."

"So, it's best to be yourself."

There are two children, one is teaching and the other is studying seriously.

Soon I was immersed in the charm of war chess and couldn't extricate myself.

Ning Dexiang and his children had fun playing with the spinning top, and Xia Quan was very busy in the kitchen.

The peaceful picture of the happy countryside brought a smile to Xia Quan's lips.

It was getting darker and darker, and the children who played in Xia Quan's dam came home one after another.

Ning Dexiang put away the top and the drawstring and handed them to Xia Huan: "Xiao Huan, I'll give this back to you, please check if it's not damaged."

"It's okay, just put it here."

Xia Huan was thinking about the chess game in front of him, and didn't care about the little spinning top at all.

"what is this?"

Ning Dexiang stood behind Xia Huan and watched for a while, unable to understand what they were doing, "It's not fun at all."

"You don't understand, this is interesting."

Xia Huan said without raising his head, "Oh, don't make noise, be careful that our side is about to fail, I can't lose, otherwise the soldiers will die in vain."
