Chapter 262: Guessing the Riddle

After learning Tang Rumi's true intentions, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, I won't be fooled by you!" ”

"Fooled?" Tang is like honey, like falling five miles of clouds.

"Isn't it?" Jiang Xiaobai pretended to be smart, "You have never been sure if I am a good person or a bad person - if I really dare you to take advantage of me, then it proves that I am a bad person, and you will swear to resist, and even kill me by surprise to prevent future troubles." ”

Tang Rumi wanted to say that it wasn't like that, but she opened her mouth a few times, but she couldn't say a word.

She was originally a reserved woman, and she had already mustered up great courage to practice herself like that before, how could she have the courage to practice herself again?

Jiang Xiaobai naturally knew her current mood, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so she had to hug her fragrant shoulders and said softly: "Sister Tang, do you think there is not much hope of survival?" ”

Tang Rumi nodded, and said honestly: "If you want to catch the ghost snake to refine the serum and detoxify, I don't think it's realistic at all. ”

Jiang Xiaobai asked knowingly, "Why is it unrealistic?" ”

Tang Rumi analyzed: "Because we don't know where the ghost snake is hiding, where to find it, and how to catch it? The point is, we are not related, and I don't want you to take your own life for me...... I can't afford to pay like that. ”

"I understand what you mean." Knowing that Tang Rumi had already recognized her identity, Jiang Xiaobai naturally held her jade hand and said sincerely, "Sister Tang, if we switch roles, can you watch me be poisoned to death?" ”

"Of course not, but manpower is exhausted sometimes, and you must always give up when you should give up." Tang Rumi looked at Jiang Xiaobai stupidly, and at this time she realized that no matter how Jiang Xiaobai changed, her personality and eyes could not change.

Jiang Xiaobai asked rhetorically: "Then have we done our best, since we haven't done our best, how can we give up?" ”

Tang Rumi also knew that it was impossible for Jiang Xiaobai to give up his plan to catch the ghost dragon, so he retreated and said: "Then you have to promise me that you can't play with your life when you catch the ghost dragon, otherwise, I would rather die than you detoxify me." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said perfunctorily: "Of course, I don't want to die either, haha." ”

Tang Rumi said angrily: "Don't be hippie with me, I'm serious!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, listen to you, all to your deeds?" Jiang Xiaobai was afraid that she would be entangled, so he helped her lean against the stone wall, preparing to use a dagger to peel off the crocodile skin to make a simple anti-poison clothing.

Thinking that she might die of poison in two days, Tang Rumi cherished the time she was in now, and said without words: "Stinky gadfly, do you want to guess the riddle?" ”

It was rare that Tang Rumi was interested, Jiang Xiaobai naturally couldn't ask for it, and said with a smile while peeling the skin: "Think, what riddle?" ”

Tang Rumi said: "Listen, our company recruited a group of employees last month, and coincidentally, their surnames are very interesting. ”

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly became interested: "What kind of interesting method?" ”

Tang Rumi said: "The first employee is called Eighteen, what do you say is her surname?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai thought for a while and said: "One is the same as Yi, and then add a wooden character, that is the surname Yang, isn't this riddle good?" ”

Tang Rumi said: "But the second employee is called Twenty-Eight, what do you call your surname?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai pondered slightly: "Two is double, twenty-eight is double eighteen, isn't it surnamed Lin?" ”

"Clever." Tang Rumi smiled slyly, "The third employee is called Thirty-Eight, can you still guess?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Three is three points of water, is it not surnamed Mu?" ”

Tang Rumi continued: "The fourth employee is called forty-eight, hehehe......"

Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded, racked his brains and thought for a long time, and suddenly woke up and said: "I understand, the surname is Xiang, the prime minister's appearance, there is this surname in the hundred family names." ”

Tang Rumi said slowly: "The fifth employee is called fifty-eight. ”

"No, it's not endless!" Jiang Xiaobai was sweating profusely, thinking about it, pondering and pondering, and finally had to ask for advice, "I can't guess, what is my surname?" ”

Tang Rumi giggled: "He's called Noon Shiba." ”

"I'm down!" Jiang Xiaobai also laughed, and said with undiminished interest, "One more." ”

"Wow." Tang Rumi talked about one.

Once upon a time, three visitors came to an inn and deposited their common fifty taels of silver at the counter, stating that they could take fifty taels of silver from each other, and that the deposit fee was one tael.

The shopkeeper gladly agreed and put the money away.

The three of them went out of the store and washed their faces by the river, but they didn't bring towels, so the three of them gave orders, and the loser turned around to get the towels.

After the order, the loser had to go back to the inn to get the towel, but after entering, he suddenly had a bad heart and said to the shopkeeper: "The silver is gone, give it to me quickly, and pay one or two honorariums." ”

The shopkeeper said, "Didn't you say that three people would take it together?" ”

"They asked me to get it, I don't believe you asked them." He shouted to the two people who were washing their faces by the river at the outer gate, "Do you want me to take it?" ”

The two replied, "If you want to take it, you can take it, what are you talking about?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he asked the man to take away fifty taels of silver.

Who knew that the guy donated money and fled, and afterwards, the remaining two people did not know it, and asked the shopkeeper for money, but the lawsuit went to the county official.

After the county magistrate asked the reason, he decided: "Since it is clear that the three of them took it together, and the store gave him the money without authorization when he saw only one person, the responsibility lies with the store, and he should compensate him in full."

The shopkeeper was so angry that he vomited blood, but the county official's verdict was also reasonable, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.

However, when the shopkeeper's wife saw her husband's unfortunate face, she asked the reason, and the shopkeeper told the story of 1510.

Madame's eyes rolled and she smiled wickedly: "Husband, when they come to ask for the debt, you just need to tell them like this, and promise not to give a penny." ”

The next day, the two really came to ask for the account, and the shopkeeper repeated the lady's words, and the two were stunned, and in the end, even the county officials were helpless.

At this point in the story, Tang Rumi giggled and said, "Stinky gadfly, guess what the lady said to her husband?" ”

The difficulty of this riddle is too great, Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a long time and couldn't understand the essentials, and finally had to say with a bitter face: "What did the lady say?" ”

Tang Rumi's face flushed for no reason, and she beckoned, "Come here with your ears." ”

Jiang Xiaobai obediently bent down and attached his ears, and listened to Tang Rumi's soft muttering: "Husband, when they come to ask for the debt, you will say: Fifty taels of silver have been recovered, but, according to the original words, the three of them must be together to take away the silver." Hey. Dear husband, do you think this method is wonderful? ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Jiang Xiaobai woke up like a dream and said, "No matter who takes the silver, just grab the agreement that the three of them will take it together, haha, anyway, it is impossible for the person who took the silver to come back, then, they will never be able to make up the three people, this lady ......"

As soon as he said this, he stiffened, and then he realized that Tang Rumi's tone when she whispered was as ambiguous as it was, and he immediately understood, after a long time, she went around in such a big circle, just to justify her husband!

Just when Jiang Xiaobai was happy, Tang Rumi said coquettishly with shortness of breath: "Husband, people are smart, right?" ”

"Hmm...... frowned and pretty. Jiang Xiaobai wanted to throw her to the ground immediately, but unfortunately her hands were full of greasy and blood, and she could only think about it.

After that, Tang Rumi said with infinite warmth: "You also have one?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a while, and also told a couplet riddle.

A long time ago, there was a pair of young people who were childhood sweethearts and had no guesses. After marriage, the two were even more sweet, but this qiē changed after her husband went to Beijing to take the exam. He looked down on his wife more and more, so he wanted to divorce her, but he couldn't find a reason for a while and couldn't speak.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, husband and wife sit opposite each other to admire the moon. The husband wrote seven words: "Write a letter of resignation under the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

When the wife saw this, she was sad and hurriedly turned around and went into the room.

The husband was racking his brains and thinking about what was going to happen when he saw his wife bring out a fruit bowl with four kinds of fruit on it. He immediately understood that his wife already knew his thoughts, and the names of these four fruits were connected together, and it was not the next couplet of "Writing a Letter of Retirement under the Mid-Autumn Moon". I couldn't help but sigh: "My wife's talents and wisdom are all above me, how can I bear her." ”

Since then, he has looked at his wife differently and has never thought of divorce from his wife.

Speaking of which, Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Sister Tang, guess what kind of fruit your wife is bringing out, and how should you pronounce it in the next link?" ”

Thinking that Tang Rumi was still a talented woman, she bit her fingers and thought for a long time: "If you want to know what fruit your wife brought out, you have to come out of the next couplet, then, the upper link is: the Mid-Autumn Festival is written under the moon, the Mid-Autumn Festival belongs to the season, and as long as the homonym of the pomegranate is sixteen in the fruit, it can fight with the Mid-Autumn Festival fifteen, and the moon is at night, then it can only be for the early morning and green dates, it is obvious that there is no early morning in the fruit, only green dates, that is, the more green dates under the moon." The last three words are to write a letter of resignation, Xu Xiushu is equivalent to divorce, there are water chestnuts in the fruit, and pears, together is, write a letter of resignation under the Mid-Autumn Festival, pomegranate green dates and water chestnuts and pears (forced to leave his wife early in the morning of the sixteenth). ”
