Chapter 282

~7 min read 1,208 words

―【Last night, while scrolling on my phone, the big data algorithm pushed me nothing but Brother Feng's "Blue and White Porcelain"!】

On the morning jogging path.

Qin Feng and Reba encountered several groups of surveyors.

They were drawing red 'plus' signs on the ground.

And not far from the young couple's courtyard cottage.

Reba lifted her small legs and caught up with Qin Feng!

She asked curiously, "What are those big brothers filming with their cameras?"

Qin Feng replied, "Those aren't cameras."

Reba: "If they aren't cameras, what are they?"

Qin Feng: "Levels, theodolites, total stations. They're doing surveying."

Reba: "What's the 'plus' shape drawn on the ground for?"

Qin Feng: "Are you a walking 'Hundred Thousand Whys'?"

Reba puffed her cheeks and said, "I just wanted to touch upon your knowledge blind spots."

Qin Feng replied, "Those are military exercise markers. If they fire shells, they'll drop them right on our cottage." Reba's expression: O. O!!!

Of course, she was sometimes silly, but not truly stupid!

Qin Feng was obviously joking.

He continued, "Maybe there are land planning changes nearby; it has nothing to do with us." Reba shook her head and said, "My woman's sixth sense tells me it's related to us." Qin Feng: "Then tell me, what are the first five senses before the sixth sense?" Reba:......

Awkward!

She couldn't answer!

Qin Feng held back his laughter and said, "You haven't even figured out the five senses, yet you're already researching the sixth sense?"

He then delivered that old line:

"Feudal superstition is not advisable."

Reba rushed over in a huff: "Don't run! I'll give you an 'Love' buff~"

On the morning path.

Qin Feng, the amateur marathon champion, quickly ran out of sight.

By the time Reba caught up, the end of the small woods was a small square.

Reba looked around but saw no trace of Qin Feng.

On the morning square.

It was all elderly grandpas and grandmas exercising.

To the east was the Tai Chi formation, using four ounces to move a thousand pounds.

To the west was the morning square dancing formation, full of spirit!

To the north was the chess strategy formation, with fully ten or so chessboards; grandpas were plotting strategies across the Chu River and Han Border! Even more absurd was the south.

Three grandpas were drinking morning wine, looking as if they were about to swear brotherhood at any moment! The most absurd thing was, they were drinking 'Old Village Head'.

Ever since that time in the Hainan rainforest, when she mistakenly took a liquor bottle for a treasure bottle and made a huge fool of herself.

Reba had developed PTSD towards this brand of liquor, toooooo.

After looking around, she finally spotted Qin Feng's figure by a chessboard on the north side.

The grandpas were discussing:

"Oh my, this young man checkmated in just a few minutes? If this game can't be broken, Old Ma is going to lose!"

"Old Ma made a mistake! The undefeated General has been knocked off his horse by a young lad!"

"Young man! I'll play a game with you!"

"Get in line, I've made a reservation; he plays with me first!"

Reba was completely dumbfounded oooooo.

In front of a chessboard in the corner.

Was Qin Feng actually playing chess with the grandpas?

Sitting opposite Qin Feng was a sixty-something grandpa wearing a Zhongshan suit.

Facing a dead end, the grandpa was so anxious he kept scratching his head!

Reba rushed over and whispered to Qin Feng, "I asked you to go for a morning run, and you're bullying grandpas? Shameless."

Qin Feng shrugged his small hands: "I was just passing by. This Grandpa Ma was itching to play and insisted on dragging me into a game; I was very passive, okay."

Qin Feng wasn't lying at all.

Time rewound to five minutes ago.

Grandpa Ma, who called himself the 'Small Square Chess Undefeated General', had been late sending his grandson to school this morning and couldn't find a chess partner. His hands felt as if they had been bitten by eighty mosquitoes, itching terribly.

Coincidentally, Qin Feng happened to pass by.

Grandpa Ma: "Young man, do you know how to play Chinese chess?"

Qin Feng: "I know a little."

Grandpa Ma: "Want a game?"

Qin Feng: "Sure."

With such a simple conversation, Grandpa Ma's winning streak was gone!

Reba knew nothing about what had happened before.

But the live stream audience witnessed the whole thing!

― 【Grandpa Ma is confused! He doesn't know the gold content of Brother Feng's 'knowing a little'!】

-- "To be fair, I am a national-level chess player, and Grandpa Ma's level should be about the same as mine, but Qin Feng's moves and strategic thinking completely crushed Grandpa Ma; they are not on the same star rating." -- "Brother Feng, do you know nothing about respecting the old and caring for the young? QAQ!! Grandpa Ma only has a few black hairs left, and you've worried them all white."

Grandpa Ma unbuttoned the cuffs of his Zhongshan suit.

He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Set up the board, let's play again!"

Reba elbowed Qin Feng.

The young couple did have that much tacit understanding.

In the next three minutes of the game, Qin Feng was defeated.

Qin Feng said, "Grandpa, we still have things to do; we'll come back another day to play chess with you."

Grandpa Ma immediately refused!!

He said, "No, no, you are deliberately letting me win. You left too many openings; this isn't the same level as the previous game. Let's play another round, young man!"

The other old men said one after another:

"Let me try! I'll play against the young man."

"Playing against these bad chess players all day is boring. Young man, your style is wild; I'll play!"

Reba was stunned.

Qin Feng grabbed her hand and said, "Run!"

Whoosh~

Morning light spilled over the small square, and the shadows of the towering trees cast a touch of coolness over the tree-lined path.

Qin Feng pulled Reba and ran ahead.

Behind them followed a group of grandpas, holding chess pieces and chasing!

The spectators were absolutely delighted!

-- "Today we saw another glimpse of Brother Feng's 'slightly knowledgeable' tip of the iceberg~"

-- "Can I understand this as Grandpa Ma's national server winning streak being broken?"

-- "How could Brother Feng have expected a 'ranked match' in a small square? He froze with a casual move; he was too careless!"

After returning to the courtyard cottage.

Reba was panting, laughing so hard she bent forward and backward.

"I never expected that going for a morning run with you would involve being chased by a group of elderly chess players."

Qin Feng shrugged and replied, "There are many things to do today; otherwise, playing a few games of chess with them wouldn't be a problem." Reba asked curiously, "What are you going to do??"

Qin Feng patted the door of the small courtyard and said, "Buy something."

Reba shook her head and said, "A woman's sixth sense tells me it's not that simple."

Qin Feng didn't beat around the bush.

He said, "I plan to buy this small courtyard; I'll contact the owner in a moment."
