Chapter 31: When I am sad
"Then let's move on to the next riddle. The author of the question took out a piece www.biquge.info of paper from the puzzle box, opened it and read: "If you don't say it in the morning, don't say it late, guess a word." Whoever guesses it first will be able to get a lotus lantern. ”
"If you don't say it in the morning, don't say it late, don't say it early, don't say it late, don't say it early, don't say it late......"
Xingzhe kept repeating the riddle while he began to think intently.
If you don't say it sooner or later, you won't say it now, and now you will say what the hell it is? One word, one word. Whether it's a brain teaser or a riddle, their puzzles are the same, and there are two things that all puzzles have in common.
The first type, the connotative riddle, is to get the correct answer only by understanding the meaning of the riddle, and the riddle of this kind of riddle is usually an idiom, an object, or something else.
The second type, the literal puzzle, as the name suggests, the riddle is hidden in a few words of the puzzle, as long as these words are rearranged and combined, it is not enough to get the answer.
Just like the riddle of "two small and two small heads with grass", as long as these words are arranged in a special way, you can get the riddle "garlic".
So this "don't say it sooner or later" is obviously not a literal puzzle, it should be a connotation puzzle, but what do these words mean?
The answer obtained by explaining it together is definitely not right, so let's break it down and interpret it.
"Don't say it in the morning" has two meanings, the first is not to say it before, and the second is not to say it in the morning, and the same is to "don't say it late", the first is not to say it later, and the second is not to say it in the evening.
Wait a minute!
If you don't know it in the morning and don't talk about it in the evening, then the mystery will be solved!
"If I'm not mistaken, the riddle should be a promise, a promise. ”
Xingzhe told the answer to the riddle he had guessed, and confidently waited for the questioner to announce the result.
"That's right, congratulations to this congratulatory answer correctly, send a lotus lantern, the lantern with no one, a perfect match. ”
When the questioner handed the lantern to Xingzhe, he also glanced at Wan'er next to Xingzhe with his eyes, signaling that Xingzhe's heart was better than action.
Xingzhe winked at the questioner, indicating that he understood.
Then put the lotus lantern in Wan'er's hand, "Wan'er, the lotus lantern is so beautiful, it is not as beautiful as one-ten-thousandth of yours." ”
Big brother, I really don't want to say that your lotus lantern is not good-looking, it's just that the president of the TV report is pretending to be like this, and I just imitate it.
"Thank you, Childe, how did Childe guess the answer to the riddle? Just now Wan'er also guessed the riddle, but she was confused. ”
"It's very simple, just take apart the riddle and understand it separately, if you don't say it in the morning, you don't say it in the morning, and if you don't say it in the evening, you don't say it at night, then you can say it at noon. ”
"Say noon?"
Although Xingzhe had explained it in detail, Wan'er still couldn't understand it.
"Think about it carefully, what is the combination of noon and say?"
"Xu!"
That's right, so this word is the answer to the puzzle. ”
"Childe, you are so amazing, you can guess such a rare lantern riddle. ”
"It's nothing, I used to watch "Brain Teaser" a lot, and I exercised it. ”
"Brain teasers?"
"Ah...... Nothing, let's go somewhere else. ”
The lantern festival is very large, and there are many various events. Xingzhe accompanied Wan'er to play a lot of projects, put down the river lantern full of blessings along the water, made their wishes on the Kong Ming lantern and then released it, and flew a kite in the open space surrounded by lanterns, Wan'er called it a paper kite......
"Childe, there is a marriage tree in front, I want to ask the old man to bless my marriage and bless you...... My husband is safe and healthy. ”
The marriage tree is very large, I heard Wan'er say that this tree has a lifespan of hundreds of years, so this is an auspicious tree, as long as you make a vow to the marriage tree, the old man can hear it.
The tree was full of red lanterns with good wishes for the girls, and the girl wrote her husband's name on a piece of paper, and then put it into the lantern, and hung the lamp on the marriage tree with a special bamboo cane, and finally made a pious wish.
Xingzhe didn't believe in the old matchmaker, but when he knew that Wan'er already had a husband, he was inexplicably flustered, as if something was blocked in his chest, and he was very uncomfortable.
Wan'er had already written her name, and was about to use a bamboo cane to hang the lamp on the marriage tree, but she hung it three or four times in a row.
"I'll do it. ”
Xingzhe took the bamboo cane from Wan'er's hand and looked up at the marriage tree. Because it was night, it was not easy to find the fork. But this didn't bother Xingzhe, and it didn't take long for Xingzhe to hang the lantern on the marriage tree.
"Childe, thank you. ”
"It's nothing, let's go, it's time to rest. ”
"Is there something wrong with Childe?"
"No, I'm fine, just a little sleepy. ”
Wan'er knew where there was an inn, and Xingzhe followed behind Wan'er, and didn't speak all the way. Wan'er said a few words to him, but he was perfunctory with "um, ah, oh", and he didn't know what Wan'er was talking about.
Wan'er could see that Xingzhe was in a bad mood, but she didn't know why, so she was fine at first.
After Xingzhe and Wan'er finished eating, they opened their rooms to rest, this time there were no connected rooms, one on the second floor and one on the third floor.
"Good night. ”
After Wan'er arrived on the second floor, she said "good night" to Xingzhe, but Xingzhe didn't reply, and responded casually with a "good night, good dream", and went up to the third floor by herself.
Knowing that Xingzhe is now sure that he likes Wan'er, otherwise why would she be so uncomfortable when she heard her pray for her husband, this should be the so-called jealousy.
But it's right to think about it, how could a woman like Wan'er, who is beautiful, has a good personality, and is kind to him, fall in love with him.
What advantages does he have? He is half-witted in everything, has no money and no power, doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and doesn't even know a little martial arts, why does Wan'er like him?
Wan'er sat on the bed after returning to the room and didn't lie down to rest, she kept thinking about Xingzhe. He didn't know why Xingzhe's attitude towards her had changed so much all of a sudden, she carefully recalled bit by bit, trying to remember what it was, Xingzhe seemed to hate her, and was reluctant to approach her.
The candle was melting little by little, getting shorter and shorter, but Wan'er didn't have a trace to extinguish the candle, she just sat quietly on the edge of the bed, motionless.
Xingzhe was in a very bad mood because of Wan'er's matter, so he lay on the bed in a daze, casually put a quilt on his head, and fell asleep.
Thinking that he would go to the emperor early tomorrow morning to intercede, and then leave the capital.
