Chapter 428 Not Boring, Very Busy
Cui Chongzheng: “…”
For the first time in his life, he was comforted by a little baby who was only a few years old.
"Ahem, I was a little distracted just now. How about we play another round?"
Cui Chongzheng had underestimated his opponent before and did not regard the half-grown kid in front of him as his opponent. In the next game, he must be fully focused and play well.
Another round?
Qi Yu rubbed his smooth little chin like a little adult, as if thinking, his pair of black and bright eyes shone with wisdom.
"It's okay to play another round, but it's boring if we just play like this. Why not add some spice to it?"
Cui Chongzheng agreed without a second thought. He was curious about what kind of prize this Qi family kid could come up with, so he teased him, "Of course, there's no problem on my side, but what kind of prize can you come up with, little kid?"
"Didn't you like the agarwood I gave to Sister Yun? I know where I can find more. If you beat me, I'll give you a piece of agarwood. What do you say?"
Qi Yu thought for a long time, and it seemed that this was the only thing he could come up with.
Cui Chongzheng suddenly became excited: "Is it the kind you got last time, the agarwood?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Sure, sure! No problem!" Cui Chongzheng showed an expression as if he had found a treasure, urging the little dumpling to hurry up and not regret it later.
"You haven't told me your bet yet. Uncle Cui, as the head of the Cui family, will definitely not just take out something to coax a child." Qi Yu looked at him.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot." Cui Chongzheng slapped his head. "Ahem, that's natural. I'm the dignified head of the Cui family, and I won't take advantage of a little kid like you. If I lose, I'll give you a treasure of the same value as the agarwood as a prize."
"Okay, then we can start." Qi Yu knew that as the head of the Cui family, Cui Chongzheng would not go back on his word even if it was just a verbal agreement.
The second game begins.
Cui Chongzheng was still a little nervous, because the person in front of him was obviously a child who was not even ten years old.
I don't know why I'm so nervous.
On the other hand, the kid on the opposite side was like a chess master who had experienced many battles. He was so steady.
Cui Chongzheng has to be serious.
He was fully alert, staring at the entire chessboard, and studying the little kid's moves in his mind.
The two sides exchanged blows, and the situation became somewhat tense.
Cui Chongzheng knew that when both sides were evenly matched, the competition was not just about the level of chess skills, but about who had a steadier mind and could keep calm.
Cui Chongzheng felt that after all, he was much older than the little kid, had eaten more salt than the kid had eaten rice, and had walked more roads than the kid had walked across bridges. In the end, he would definitely win.
"Uncle Cui, you lost! Oh, Brother Xiaoyu won! Brother Xiaoyu is the best!" The little girl's childish cheering voice came to my ears.
"Lost?" Cui Chongzheng widened his eyes and saw that on the chessboard, five black pieces held by Qi Yu were connected together.
"Uncle Cui, thank you for giving me the chance." The little kid stood up and bowed to him politely.
Cui Chongzheng smiled in relief. He was so focused on winning that he forgot that the most taboo in chess is distraction. "I lost. What do you want for the prize?"
Qi Yu didn't reply immediately, but looked at his brother and sister beside him: "Xiao Mo, Xiao Nian'er, what do you want?"
The two little dumplings shook their heads, indicating that they didn't want anything.
Even in the Ghost Prison, the little kids had enough food and clothing and were well taken care of by Yun Fu.
Therefore, there is nothing missing for the two little dumplings.
Qi Yu could only think for himself, looking Cui Chongzheng up and down: "Do you have anything valuable on you?"
Cui Chongzheng was stunned for a moment before he understood what the kid meant. He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "I just brought some banknotes with me."
Qi Yu was not interested in the banknotes: "These banknotes can't be used in the Ghostly Prison. Otherwise, I'll take the accessories you have on you."
"Accessories?" Although Cui Chongzheng was reluctant to part with the things he had worn for many years, as the head of the Cui family, he was willing to accept defeat.
He took off the jade pendant hanging around his waist, the bracelet on his wrist, and the jade ring on his thumb.
"Master, you can't give me this ring!" The Cui family's steward wanted to persuade him when he saw that he had even taken off the ring that represented the master's identity.
Cui Chongzheng glanced at him and said, "They are just some stuff, don't take them too seriously."
Besides, these children were handed over by those two people. With their vision, how could they take these things seriously?
"Uncle Cui, if you are bored, you can come and play chess with me." Qi Yu accepted the prizes and squinted his eyes, looking like a little fox setting a trap for others.
Cui Chongzheng waved his hand: "Uncle Cui, it's not boring, not boring at all, very busy, very busy!"
He had nothing valuable to lose.
He was afraid that if he lost again, these little kids would take a fancy to his clothes and make him take them off.
The little dumplings returned with a full load and went to find Yun Fu with the prizes they had won.
"Sister Yun, here, this is a gift for you."
"Gifts?" Yun Fu took the cloth bag that Xiaotuanzi stuffed into her, opened it, and took a look. "Why are these here?"
Yun Fu recognized from her memory that these were the things Cui Chongzheng carried with him.
"Brother Xiaoyu won the prize playing chess with Uncle Cui." Xiao Nian'er's voice was crisp and her tone was full of pride.
Her brother Xiaoyu is so awesome!
After Yun Fu understood what was going on, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Cui Chongzheng suffered a huge loss during this trip to the Ghost Prison.
"Okay, then I'll take it. Thank you, Xiaoyu."
Yun Fu accepted those things, not because she wanted to keep them for herself, but because she was afraid that the little ones would carry them on their bodies and attract people's covetousness.
She will help save it for the time being.
When Qi Yu grows up and is able to take these things, I will return them to him.
——
Feng Mingyang fell ill two nights later.
At that time, Yun Fu had just finished washing up, changed into her underwear and lay down on the bed.
Then I heard a hurried knock on the door in the yard.
Qi Hanzhou was faster than her. He went out of the next room and opened the gate.
Yun Fu put on her coat and opened the door, and saw Qi Hanzhou's tall and straight figure outside the courtyard gate, with several other figures beside him.
Judging from the voices, it should be Cui Chongzheng and the others.
"Is Feng Mingyang ill?" Yun Fu asked as she walked over.
"Yes, yes, princess, you should go and take a look. This time it seems to be more serious than before." Cui Chongzheng was worried that if he went too late, his little brother would be gone.
"I understand. Send someone to notify Qi Xu and ask her to bring a first aid kit over." Yun Fu replied calmly.
