There had always been very few Go stalls. On the one hand, it was because there were very few people playing Go. This was not Chengdu, where there was a good Go atmosphere and there were many stalls.
It was different from Xiangqi. Xiangqi had the illusion of winning, which could make people who knew a little have the urge to try. But Go was different. Even if it was someone who knew a little about Go, if the stall owner set up a stall to talk about the level of Go, who would be willing to play if they did not have the ability to break through the ranks?
On the other hand, the so-called endgame of Go was not a real endgame. Those who set up a Go stall were definitely dead or alive. It was not easy for non-professionals to have a good dead or alive. Those who could have a good dead or alive must be the best of the best, so they disdained to set up a stall.
Another reason was that the endgame of Go had to be played one or two hundred times. It was very frustrating to meet a city guard who could flip the board.
Therefore, since the father and son made this stall famous, there were more and more Go players who came to watch.
"This is also the ability of a second or third dan professional." After observing for a long time, someone made a pertinent evaluation of the stall owner.
"But he made two good moves in a row in the middle game …" Someone asked. This stall owner was obviously bad at Go, but his performance was good.
"Haha, that's because he has a good memory and memorized the questions." An old man wearing a cap explained.
"What about this kid?" Someone pointed curiously at Li Lan who was sitting motionless on the small stool and asked.
The old man wearing a cap said, "He is a top amateur and can enter the professional stage in two years. It's not certain. As long as he participates in a famous Grand Prix, he can directly rise to the middle stage."
The people next to him exclaimed with a look of disbelief.
It was a very great thing to have a stage in a Go enthusiast, let alone the middle stage?
How old is this kid?
He looks like he is about eight or nine years old?
"Black plays six and then turns eight. The white piece is obviously weak …"
"The white piece sticks and the black piece pulls back. In short, the method just now has failed. The white piece must find another way … "
In the midst of sighs, Li Lan lost again.
Li He looked at the sky and said as usual, "Let's go home."
"Again." Li Lan shook his head and didn't want to go home.
"It's getting dark and I can't see the chessboard clearly. Shall we continue tomorrow?" The stall owner looked at the time and said to Li Lan kindly. This was his little god of wealth.
"Do you really want to continue?" Li He noticed that his son was not as disappointed as he usually was. He even saw joy and confidence on his son's face.
"En." Li Lan nodded without hesitation.
"But I'm hungry." The stall owner obviously didn't want to continue. He didn't want to delay closing up his stall and go home for dinner just for five yuan. He had earned quite a lot today!
"I said continue." Li He didn't waste any time. He took the money from Dong Hao and threw a stack of notes at him.
"This is …" The stall owner took the money in a flurry and was shocked. "This is ten thousand?"
The envelope had not been opened yet.
Li He nodded. "Ten thousand it is."
"All for me?" The stall owner was very excited.
"Of course," Li He said affirmatively.
"Then let's continue." The stall owner agreed without hesitation. He had never thought that if he lost, he would still pay 20,000 RMB!
He continued to review the game.
The people at the side who wanted to disperse didn't. They were all shocked to the extreme!
This time, they were not looking at Li Lan, but Li He!
There were many people who could take out ten thousand RMB so easily, but not many people who could give it to their child so easily!
He knew that it was a losing situation!
But he didn't even bat an eyelid!
How rich must he be!
"He didn't win even after a month …"
"Money doesn't make a sound in the water."
“....”
Most people knew what the ending was, but still no one wanted to leave. They were still gathered around, still hoping for a result!
After a while, they returned their attention to the chessboard.
"Abandoned pieces? It's obvious that it can be broken! "
"The piece on the right has basically been given away …"
"The white piece is going to be blocked."
Many people couldn't understand Li Lan's way of playing.
Ten minutes later, the old man in the cap saw through the trick and said with a smile, "Losing 30 points of land to gain a thick momentum. Sigh, we still need to learn more."
However, as soon as he said that, everyone let out a sound of disbelief.
"When black 2 was squeezing, he actually chose to stick to the third position …
"The four pieces in the center of the chessboard can't die no matter what, but he just gave it up …"
More and more people couldn't understand, and this time even the old man didn't dare to speak casually.
The situation on the chessboard was getting more and more tense.
"The white piece has become a calamity …"
"This calamity, no matter what, can't be won …"
"It's okay that all parts are equally thick, but the big dragon in the center is already a huge burden …"
Someone began to sigh.
Some people felt pity, it was ten thousand RMB!
Li He was also not sure, so he could only look at his son's face, and found that his son still didn't have much reaction.
"Huh?"
"How did it become a situation of six or seven pieces entangled with each other …"
"There are a lot of clues, this is a typical open complex situation …"
Everyone found that Li Lan just casually fiddled with two pieces, and the situation was completely different.
The old man in the cap said, "Normal people will choose to eat the two pieces in the middle and abandon the three pieces on top to form a switch, so that they can avoid a complicated battle situation, and the situation will not fall behind.
But the white piece chose to jump out the three pieces on top, forming a chaotic situation.
This is a stronger way of playing. "
Someone found that the stall owner began to sweat.
"This is different from the back, haha …" The old man in the cap began to make fun of him.
This time, the situation was finally clear.
"He slayed the dragon …"
Some people still couldn't believe it.
How could this child win just like that?
Li Lan stood up and smiled at the stall owner, saying nothing.
"Won?" Li He quickly threw away the cigarette butt and went into the crowd.
He had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
"Your son won."
"You earned twenty thousand RMB."
The people next to him all laughed and echoed.
"Well done!" Li He praised his son without hesitation.
"Pay up …" Someone found that the stall owner ran away.
"Yeah, don't leave. Just do what you said." Anyway, the onlookers were not afraid of the matter.
"Pay up what?" The stall owner shouted fiercely at the people around him.
"What kind of attitude is this?" Li He was not happy.
"Okay, I'm leaving. I don't want to argue with you." The stall owner turned to leave.
"In your dreams." Li Lao Er didn't care about the money, but he was not happy that the stall owner was so arrogant.
"What?" The stall owner was stopped by Dong Hao, so he didn't push. He sneered and said, "You want to play rough?"
Three burly men emerged from the crowd. They were obviously in cahoots with the stall owner.
"Yo, you guys take your time." Li He said this to Dong Hao and Zhang Bing.
