Chapter 389 The Situation on Shen Mo’s Side

Beside the road, there is a row of beautiful garden villas.

Shen Mo walked into one of the buildings and opened the courtyard door with wrought iron railings. Under the grape trees in the courtyard, a middle-aged man was sitting at a short square table, playing chess alone.

The chess is an original object in this villa. It is made of wood, the paint color has been mottled, and the edges have been polished smooth and rounded.

Shen Mo sat down at the other end of the low table and looked at the situation on the chessboard.

It seems like a life and death situation.

He glanced at his father opposite.

In the impression, his father had never played chess, and his daily pastimes had always been very fixed, including reading, writing, mountain climbing and golf.

Of course, some pastimes are now unavailable.

The middle-aged man looked at the chess game in front of him and said calmly: "Don't take Shen Fei's words too seriously. I am not too old to move in my sixties or seventies. I have hands and feet. I am not old enough to rely on my children to take care of me. You don’t have to come over here to see me frequently.”

After saying that, he looked up at Shen Mo and smiled lightly: "Even if you are sixty or seventy years old, you don't necessarily need someone to take care of you. I heard that there is an old man in your team, is it true?"

Shen Mo sat across the table and replied: "Yes, his name is Cheng Weicai, and he is a teacher in a middle school in Nanjing."

"That's it." Father Shen nodded, lowered his head again, and silently looked at the chessboard in front of him.

The silence continued, and the father and son seemed to have nothing to say.

After a while, Shen Mo said: "I didn't know you could play chess before."

"When I was still young, I played with your grandfather." Father Shen picked up a chess piece, put it down hesitantly, and sighed, "I haven't touched this thing for a long time. I feel unfamiliar."

Shen Mo looked at it, reached out to pick up the car, and moved it five spaces directly in front of the general, "General."

Father Shen laughed: "This won't work, my horse will be guarded here."

He jumped on the horse and ate Shen Mo's car.

Shen Mo moved the pawn over and said, "General."

"This is a dead end, it won't work." Father Shen still shook his head, Sergeant, eat the pawn.

Shen Mo jumped from the cannon and landed on the general, "General."

Father Shen was stunned.

Shen Mo said calmly: "If you're dead in one step, take two steps. If you're dead in two steps, take three steps. Grandpa taught me before that the way out is to walk out."

Father Shen looked at the chessboard for half a minute, then moved back the chess he had just moved, "I made the wrong move just now, I didn't move the knight."

Shen Mo: "Dad, you can't regret your move."

"It's not a real battle on the battlefield. The father and son are just playing two games. It can't be called regretting the game." Father Shen restored the chessboard and retreated behind the soldiers. "This response should be foolproof."

Shen Mo looked helpless.

But when I saw a few strands of white hair on my father's temples, I felt a little sad.

His father was a typical rich man, well-dressed and well-fed, elegant and wealthy. Because of his strict upbringing, he never got into any bad habits, and the old man was fair in dealing with things, and there was no scandal about the brothers fighting over family property. It can be said that half of my life is carefree.

It is not easy to deal with this situation calmly now.

Shen Mo was silent for a while and said to Father Shen, "I plan to leave in a few days and go north."

"Going north?" Father Shen was slightly startled and looked up at him, "...you want to help Weiwei find her mother?"

Wang Jingxian also went north.

Shen Mo shook his head, "The area is too big and it's too difficult to find someone. We went north to collect puzzle pieces."

"Collecting puzzles..." Father Shen suddenly realized, "Last time I heard from your second uncle that there are mazes in Wuhan and Zhengzhou. I just don't know if those mazes are still there after so long..."

He said and sighed softly: "Although there is no maze in Shanghai, it has attracted games. If Game 21 cannot be conquered, the base may have to be moved elsewhere."
