On Zitong Mountain, in the Zitong forest, there is a Zitong wooden house.

The wooden house is very simple and very clean. It is so clean that even women cannot believe that this is actually the house of a single man.

Men are usually seen as sloppy in the eyes of women, so women believe that if a man leaves a woman, he will definitely lead a dirty life.

But Mr. Woodcutter didn’t. In Mr. Woodcutter’s life, except for his mother, he had never met another woman. Of course, for a young man who was so poor, which woman would be willing to marry him?

It's all about ability. If you can't exchange your ability for money, you still have no ability.

There are talented poor people everywhere in the world, so being unrecognized for your talents is not the reason for your poverty. People who think that their talents are not recognized are all blind and arrogant people. Being better than others is not worthy of happiness, but it is truly worthy of happiness.

, is better than the past self. Many people think that their talents are not appreciated, so they don’t think about making progress. In fact, it won’t be long before they are like “lost to everyone else!”

Mr. Woodcutter is actually a capable person, but he is very poor and has nothing. However, he lives a very happy life. He never thinks that he is not appreciating his talents, because his current life is already his

the life you want.

He likes the feeling of "one person is full and the whole family is not hungry". He has never thought of pursuing more wealth, even if he does have the ability.

Although he is poor, he earns his own living and does not suffer from cold or starvation. Therefore, he leads a rich and self-sufficient life.

The Zitong wooden house is very small, with only three rooms, the bedroom on the left, the study on the right, and the main room in the middle. The kitchen is only in a corner of the bedroom. Of the three rooms, the bedroom is the smallest, the main room is the second, and the study is actually the largest.

It is not at all in line with ordinary people’s house building habits.

The study is large for a reason, because it contains the most things.

Pens, inks, paper and inkstones, chess, calligraphy and painting, swords, guns, swords and sticks, flowers, trees, birds and beasts, everything he likes is available. It can be said that although a sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs.

Although Mr. Woodcutter's house is small, his yard is quite large. He used a fence to surround the yard around the wooden house, which is quite spacious. It is a very good choice to feed some chickens and ducks in the fence.

There are many wild beasts in the mountains. Last night, they broke down the fence on the east side and even chased a few chickens away.

Mr. Woodcutter was an easy-going man and was not angry at all. He went to chop some bamboos and mend the fence slowly.

Mr. Woodcutter was busy in the yard when he suddenly saw a man coming up from the mountain quickly, with a somewhat anxious pace. Mr. Woodcutter's eyes were very good, and he recognized the man from a distance. It was his old friend Mr. Bai Haibai.

"Old Bai, why are you here in such a hurry today?" Mr. Woodcutter asked.

"To be honest, I came here this time to ask for something." Bai Hai said directly.

"How could you, a rich man, ask for anything from a poor young man like me?" Mr. Woodcutter thought Bai Hai was joking, so he said it as a joke.

"I'm not joking, what I said is true. This time it is indeed 'No matter what, I will go to the Three Treasures Palace'!" Bai Hai said anxiously.

"What's the matter? I'm talking about a letter." Mr. Woodcutter's face suddenly turned cold.

Bai Hai is a person who is good at observing words and emotions. He has already seen that Mr. Woodcutter is somewhat unwilling in his heart. It is just because of the friendship between the two that he does not show it. However, he cannot go in vain, so he can only force himself.

Scalp said: "The thing is like this. I have a nephew who has provoked a very powerful enemy. Both of our families are unable to deal with it, so I came here to ask Mr. Woodcutter to come out and help me and others."

After hearing this, Mr. Woodcutter suddenly had a frosty face and without saying anything, he threw down the fence and went into the house. Seeing that Mr. Woodcutter was angry, Bai Hai couldn't help it, so he had to follow the house angrily.

Although Mr. Woodcutter was angry, he still spoke very tactfully: "I am not a member of the world, and I will never interfere in such grievances."

"I also know that you have always stayed away from political affairs. It was just because the matter was urgent and I couldn't find other helpers at the moment, so I thought of you." Bai Hai explained.

"Mr. Bai, I'm sorry. I don't want to get involved in this matter, and I don't have the ability to do so. You think too highly of me, so I think you need to hire someone else for this matter." Mr. Woodcutter declined politely.

Bai Hai was actually prepared for it. He didn't want to force anyone to do anything, so he just said a little disappointedly: "In that case, please forgive me for disturbing you. I'll take my leave now."

After Bai Hai finished speaking, he stood up and went out. Mr. Woodcutter neither spoke nor agreed, and just watched him leave.

Bai Hai is an extremely smart man, but he has actually seen that Mr. Timber has hesitated. So he came to retreat and force Mr. Timber to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Wait!" Mr. Woodcutter suddenly stopped him, and he got the result he wanted.

"If you beat me in a game, I will help you. If you can't win, you can't blame me." Mr. Woodcutter said.

"Playing chess at this time? Human lives are at stake. Saving people is like putting out a fire! There is no time." Bai Hai originally thought that Mr. Timber would readily agree, but unexpectedly, Mr. Timber defeated his entire army, and he couldn't help but become anxious.

"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. If he cannot wait for us to save him, then his life will be ruined here." Mr. Woodcutter said it very easily, as if he did not take the life and death of others in his eyes at all.

Bai Hai knew very well that Mr. Woodcutter was not a person who cared about life and death, and he didn't understand how Mr. Woodcutter could come up with such a trick.

However, the matter had come to this point, and Bai Hai couldn't do it even if he didn't agree, so he had no choice but to start a chess game with Mr. Woodcutter in the yard.

The two people's chess skills are basically between equals. In normal times, the outcome is 50-50. But for some unknown reason in this game, as soon as the game started, Bai Hai was at a disadvantage. Bai Hai saw that he was about to lose, and his heart became even more intense.

Anxious, the more anxious you feel, the more mistakes you will make. In this way, Bai Hai is in danger of losing the game in a moment.

"Mr. Bai has been able to dominate the business world for so many years, so it is impossible for him not to have the style of a general. Don't you know that when you are in chaos when you go into battle, the more confused your mind is, the easier it is to lose? Mount Tai collapses in front of you, but his face does not change. This is the style of a true general.

"Lao Bai has so many flaws in this game, it's obviously not your old style!" Mr. Woodcutter said leisurely while playing a chess piece.

Bai Hai was thinking about this and only said: "The matter is urgent, so the chess game is messed up."

Chuanmu shook his head first and said: "No, it's not that the chess is messed up, but that you are upset. If you are upset, whether you are playing chess or going into battle and facing chaos, you will lose."

Bai Hai was a smart man, and he was suddenly drunk: "I see, thank you sir for your advice."

"That's good, let's set off now." Mr. Woodcutter said.

"Can't play chess anymore?"
