Chapter 126: The Huo Family Heirloom
Mr. Mu puffed his beard and glared, "Where are you going back to?! I have lost several rounds and haven't won a round yet. I have to win a round before I go back!"
Mr. Huo smiled proudly, "Hahaha, you are such a noob that you can't even compare to me, an old man with a confused mind who has been lying in bed for a year!"
Mr. Mu: "Why are you laughing? That's because I'm giving in to you!"
Huo Yaoyao immediately flew towards Mr. Mu, "Grandpa Mu, let me help you win this chess game!"
The main reason is that she wants Mr. Mu to win a game quickly and then go back with Mu Shangjun, so that she doesn't have to see this old pervert again!
Mu Shangjun couldn't guess what this little girl was thinking, so he laughed angrily and followed her up.
Mr. Mu's eyes lit up, "Come on, come on!"
He knew that Huo Yaoyao was good at chess. A young man with a flexible and smart mind could play much better than an old man like him!
Mr. Huo was not happy anymore and glared at Huo Yaoyao angrily, "Huo Yaoyao, your elbows are turned outward?! I am still not your grandfather?! You would rather help an outsider than help your own grandfather?!
"
Huo Yaoyao: "Oh, grandpa, you have won several games, do you still need my help?"
Mr. Huo snorted, "Why don't you need it anymore?! I don't care, it's not fair, I also need help!"
"Grandpa, let me help you!"
Ruan Xi began to roll up his sleeves, eager to try.
Mr. Huo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "My granddaughter-in-law, you can also play chess?!"
Ruan Xi said honestly, "I haven't played it before, but I have seen a group of grandpas and grandma playing under the trees in the countryside before."
Huo Yaoyao put her hands on her hips and raised her arrogant head, "Hey, those old grandfathers and grandmothers in the countryside only work in the fields every day, how can they play chess?! They must not be very good. Sister-in-law, if you compare with me, you will definitely lose.
deal!"
The corners of Ruan Xi's lips curled up, "That's not necessarily true. Most of the chess masters are people you look down upon."
Huo Yaoyao still didn't believe it. In her opinion, rural people's education level was low, so they generally had little knowledge and little culture.
What's more, chess is the quintessence of Chinese culture!
What they have learned is only superficial, and what they know is only superficial. How can they be as in-depth as her systematic study?!
She said confidently, "Then let's compete. Anyway, I don't believe you can be better than me!"
Seeing that Huo Yaoyao was so confident and believed that he would definitely win, Mr. Mu couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, it seems I'm going to win this round!"
Mr. Huo looked depressed.
Ruan Xi smiled mysteriously. She didn't tell Mr. Huo and Mr. Mu that the chess they just played was like a beginner's game. It was neither entertaining nor exciting.
The chess game played by the village elders and aunties was so fierce that it was almost overwhelming.
At that time, she looked at it a few times out of curiosity, and then learned it.
Soon, Ruan Xi and Huo Yaoyao reset the chess game.
Huo Yaoyao was afraid that Ruan Xi would lose too badly, so he directly asked Ruan Xi to take the first step, "You go first!"
Ruan Xi held her chin, "Are you sure!"
Huo Yaoyao: "Of course, if I make you lose too ugly, crying and making a complete mess, my elder brother will be very distressed, and maybe even spank me!"
Huo Jinhan glanced at Huo Yaoyao with a cold look.
Ruan Xi laughed out loud, and then took the first step as he wished.
Usually the first step is for the soldiers to go first.
Seeing that Ruan Xi sent troops first, Huo Yaoyao followed suit.
At first, Huo Yaoyao handled it very steadily, but gradually he began to feel unable to do what he wanted.
Because Ruan Xi would always kill her chess pieces by surprise, eating one and then another, completely unable to guess her strategy and thoughts.
So much so that her pace became slower and slower with every step she took.
It was also the first time for Mr. Huo and Mr. Mu to see such an exciting and novel chess game. They each watched it with great concentration, as if they were deeply involved in the chess game, fighting one after another.
And they clearly felt that Huo Yaoyao was being forced by Ruan Xi step by step, and was about to be forced to go up the Liangshan Mountain and hang himself from the Liangshan Liang.
In the end, no surprise, Ruan Xi killed Huo Yaoyao's handsome.
Huo Yaoyao was already covered in sweat, so wet that it stuck to her body.
This shows how much brain power she had just spent.
Huo Yaoyao was not willing to lose so easily, "Come again!"
Ruan Xi nodded and played the chess game again.
The second game started, and Huo Yaoyao failed before he could persist for long.
Then came the third game, the fourth game, the fifth game...
Huo Yaoyao was exhausted from playing and his hands and feet were weak.
She exploded, "Sister-in-law, didn't you say that you have never played chess? You lied to me! You must have gone to learn from a master!"
Mr. Huo and Mr. Mu also felt that Ruan Xi was deceiving them. After all, how could someone who had never played chess be so good?!
Even without thinking at all, Huo Yaoyao was beaten to a pulp.
Mr. Huo: "My granddaughter-in-law, did you have a more powerful master and study hard to achieve such results?"
Mr. Mu: "Which master is it?! Can you tell me something?"
Ruan Xi blinked innocently, "Uncles and aunts in the countryside."
Mr. Huo: "..."
Mr. Mu: "..."
Huo Yaoyao: "...I don't believe it!"
She didn’t believe that the uncles and aunts in the countryside knew such profound chess skills!
Ruan Xi: "Sister-in-law, you have to believe that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. If you don't believe it, I will take you to the countryside to see it. I guarantee that it will open your eyes!"
Seeing Ruan Xi speaking so firmly, Huo Yaoyao felt unsure. Could it be that... rural people are really so powerful?!
Mr. Mu once led troops to fight and saw a lot of the world. He nodded in agreement, "There are indeed some strange people and strange things in the countryside, which should not be underestimated."
Mr. Huo stroked his beard and said proudly, "No matter what, it was my precious granddaughter-in-law who led me to defeat you two. I am the final winner!"
After a pause, he reached out and touched Ruan Xi's head, smiling, "Hey, grandson, you are awesome. Not only can you draw, but you can also play chess. Grandpa is going to give you a big reward!"
Ruan Xi became curious, "What kind of reward?"
Mr. Huo stood up, turned around and went back to the room. Then he took out a box and took out an emerald jade pendant with pure texture and no impurities.
Huo Yaoyao recognized this jade pendant and was shocked, "Isn't this, this jade pendant, an heirloom jade pendant passed down from ancestors?"
Huo Jinhan also recognized it and his eyes darkened.
This jade pendant is passed down from generation to generation, and is always passed down to the mistress of the house.
Grandpa gave it to grandma, and after grandma died, the jade pendant remained with grandpa. Even her mother and Duan Yulan were not eligible to own it.
And now, grandpa actually gave the jade pendant to Ruan Xi?!
