30. Guess the lantern riddle
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm really wrong, baby, forgive me, okay?"
"You lied to me! You lied to me! I still believe in you so much!"
"I was wrong, can I apologize, be nice?"
"You don't even explain it to me and you want me to forgive you!
"Shall I explain it to you?"
"I don't listen, I don't listen!"
"Don't cry, hey, hey, I'm also uncomfortable when you cry. ”
"You're uncomfortable, you're still lying to me!"
"It's okay if I don't leave in the future, I'll always be with you, don't cry, don't cry, I'm most afraid of people crying. ”
"Really, stay with me forever?
"Well, I'm going to go back in the end. ”
"You're lying to me again!"
"How can I have, listen to my explanation......"
"I don't listen, I don't listen!"
The ministers didn't know why this situation had developed.
In short, he is now standing in the prosperous imperial city of the world, accompanying Tan Li to go shopping in the darker night.
This day happens to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the annual Shangyuan Festival in the human world, so both sides of the street are hung early with all kinds of delicate and lovely lanterns, although the sky is not yet dark, the lanterns on the street are lit with candles early, shining out the warm light.
The young ladies who are dressed up and beautiful in spirit play and watch together, the pink goose yellow and light green ladies and girls' skirts, the snow-white fans painted with landscape scenery, the gurgling hot snacks and enthusiastic shouting will also decorate this place extraordinarily lively.
There are not many people at all, and Chen Qian pulled Tan Li, who was full of curiosity in his eyes but couldn't bear to get close because he was making trouble, and walked slowly in this bustling area.
"Don't be angry, how about we go to the river tonight to see the lanterns?"
"Humph!"
"I was wrong, forgive me, okay?"
"Humph!"
Chen Qian was helpless, so he took a string of sugar gourds wrapped in thick syrup from the vendor selling sugar gourds on the side, and then handed the sugar gourd to his mouth. "Please eat sugar gourds. ”
Tan Li watched it for a long time, and then reluctantly, he took a bite of his mouth.
"That'...... Don't lie to me in the future. ”
"Okay, well, listen to you. ”
Chen Qian handed him the sugar gourd, but Tan Li still didn't take it awkwardly.
"I won't forgive you for a string of sugar gourds. ”
"Those two strings?"
"Humph!"
"How's the three strings?"
“…… Hmph!"
Chen Qian laughed out loud, looked at his small appearance, hurriedly bought two more strings, and handed them to him. "No, three skewers are enough to eat, and if you eat too much, be careful of toothache. ”
"I'll take you to eat something else, which is even better than sugar gourds. ”
Tan Li's eyes lit up, and then he showed a little happy.
"I'll explain it to you tomorrow about the past ten years. Chen Qian continued, "I'll take you to have a good time tonight, how about compensation?"
Chen Qian felt that he needed at least one night to come up with a reasonable reason.
Ten years is too much information, and if one explanation is not clear, it is possible to lose the whole game if a little clue is found in the future.
Tan Li bit the sugar gourd and thought for a while, then nodded.
Night really fell at this time.
There are really more tourists on the streets, bustling back and forth, and there is very little space between people. The minister had to take one of his hands so as not to be scattered by the crowd.
Tan Li looked at the hands held by the two, the corners of his mouth slowly rose up, and then held him with his backhand.
After entering the fetal movement period, he can shape and strengthen his body through his own will, Tan Li is already an adult man at this time, and his height is even one inch taller than Chen Qian.
As the saying goes, height determines attack.
Although Tan Li didn't know this truth, he naturally preferred the latter when he looked up at the person he admired, rather than looking down and oppressing with his height. The hand, which was secretly praised by the ministers several times when he was a child, was also slender and beautiful, like a fine mutton fat white jade, delicate and beautiful.
Compared to the desertion of the cultivation realm, the mortal realm at this moment is indeed more vibrant. Strange things that had never been seen before were placed on street stalls, with brown and red, or blue or black coarse cloth underneath, and beautiful lanterns glowing warmly.
Chen Qian actually likes more here, but it's a pity that this little yellow book is a fairy tale, and the plot description of the world is naturally pitiful. The only relevant plot is only after the male protagonist left Mei Niang at the age of 17.,In order to go to Changqingmen to heal the injuries on his body by the way.,I stayed in the world for a while.。 During this time, there has been no harmonious content.,It's just for the transition scene.,By the way, let the male protagonist know a few confidantes and fall in love with his charm.,It's convenient for the old cucumber to shape the male protagonist handsome, very handsome, so beauties fall in love with his character.。
There aren't many opportunities to play in the world.,Starting from the timeline when the male protagonist is seventeen years old.,The turmoil in the Xiuzhen world hasn't stopped for a moment.,You have to keep an eye on it all the time to rest assured.。
There are still three months to go, and when the plot doesn't start, no matter how much trouble there is, nothing will happen that will have too much impact. This is also the reason why Chen Qian dared to take Tan Li out to play with confidence.
No longer thinking about those brain-staking things, the minister took Tan Li to a corridor full of lanterns with great interest, and there was a big plaque hanging on it, the lantern riddle conference.
Tan Li (self-thought) indulged in him to lead, and the corners of his mouth never fell, and even continued to rise.
The lanterns in the corridor are different from those on the street outside, they are all made of very good quality rice paper and bamboo frames, and the style is also very novel and beautiful. Under each lantern hangs a thin piece of wood with a riddle carved on it.
There were quite a few people in the hallway, but most of them frowned, as if they had no idea about the riddles. Occasionally, there was a flash of inspiration, so he took a red pen and wrote the answer on it, and then handed the piece of wood to a wooden table at the end of the corridor, on which were placed some delicate little lanterns, and if he guessed correctly, the old man sitting at the table smiled, put away the piece of wood and gave him a small lantern corresponding to the piece of wood. If you guess wrong, take out another piece of wood that is the same and tell the person who came to guess the riddle to hang it back up.
This lantern riddle has always been difficult to guess, so this unique small lantern is particularly precious. So some of the ladies and ladies wandered around the porch, and when they liked which one they liked, they stopped there and chattered about it. If there was anyone who wanted to please the girl, he would take down the piece of wood and decipher it, and if the girl was willing, the two would go together, carrying the little lantern and talking with them what they liked.
Chen Qian didn't know much about this tradition, just as a little fun of bartering puzzles, and saw Tan Li stop in front of a lotus-shaped lantern that a small group of girls were holding handkerchiefs and pointing to admire, and someone happened to hang the wood chips with a puzzled face. He let go of Tan Li and stepped forward to take the piece of wood to look at, wanting to solve the riddle for him and change it to a small lantern to play with.
Unexpectedly, when the girls saw his unconcealed face, they let out a small exclamation, and then they gathered together and began to talk again, and the laughter was even more lively, as if they were deliberately trying to attract people's attention.
Tan Li stood there looking at him, and his hands suddenly fell empty. looked at the girls around him who were drifting towards Chen Qian's body intentionally or unintentionally, and a sour smell came out of his heart.
It seems that this puzzle will be a bit difficult, otherwise it would not have been left to be watched by so many people and not taken away.
The ministers just observed a circle, there is no one repeating the lanterns here, the style has its own ingenuity, even if someone answers the riddle, it will be replaced with a different lantern, leaving a different puzzle for people to continue to guess.
There was no malice in the eyes of the girls around him, and he was often baptized with similar gazes when he was in school, and even more fiery, and these girls were quite reserved. The ministers subconsciously blocked the eyes of those who were a little appreciative and more joyful as before, and instead concentrated on looking at the riddle.
There are only four simple words on it, [this mystery is the most difficult].
Chen Qian looked at the wood chip again and again, and found that there was no clue on the side. Looking at these four words again, I suddenly laughed, and I had a bottom in my heart.
Removing the piece of wood from under the lantern, he bypassed a few of the puzzle-solvers, and walked straight to the old man who was grinding the pen, and put it down.
The old man glanced at the piece of wood, shook his head at him, and said, "This riddle has been hanging here for three years, and no one has been able to solve it yet. ”
The minister calmly took the red pen, wrote four words on the back of the wooden chip, and then handed it to the old man.
The old man thought that he was another boy who wanted to show off his talents, but he glanced at it helplessly, and the moment he saw those four words, he suddenly opened his mouth in shock.
"Congratulations to this son, you got it right. ”
