Chapter 85: Lantern riddles
After leaving the Beigong Mansion, Fang Yi took the two brothers Chen Tiantian to walk on the street.
Tonight, the whole of Yangzhou is a prosperous scene, the streets and lakes are full of lanterns of various styles, and there is no trace of the previous bleak defeat of the war.
"Naturally, what day is it? I remember it's only October, right? Could it be that you ancient people also celebrated the National Day? Fang Yi looked at the big red lantern by the lake, and turned his head to look at Chen Tiantian suspiciously.
Chen was naturally slightly stunned, although he didn't understand what Fang Yi meant by the ancient people and the National Day, he still answered Fang Yi's question with a smile.
"Lord Taishiling, you don't know! Xu Jingye's rebellion was launched in Yangzhou! During Xu Jingye's rebellion, he didn't do a single thing, but he looted a lot of people's fat and ointment! The people of the entire Yangzhou city were miserable under Xu Jingye's barbaric rule, and everyone was looking forward to the officers and soldiers of the imperial court returning to Yangzhou! Now Xu Jingye has been retributed, and the people of the entire Yangzhou City are all celebrating! In order to celebrate the defeat of Xu Jingye, a lantern festival was specially held! ”
"I see......"
Fang Yi nodded, and his heart was even more relieved.
As a result, Fang Yi's guilt in his heart because of the previous burning of Xu Jingye's army also weakened a lot.
Although it is true that he has caused a great slaughter, it seems that it is worth it now!
"Lord Taishiling, are you interested in having fun? Guess the lantern riddle? Chen naturally laughed.
Fang Yi put his hands behind his back, and there was a smile on his face: "Okay, it's okay to assassinate Shifu anyway, let's just have fun here!" And, naturally, don't call me an official outside! ”
"Yes, Childe!" Chen was naturally a smart person, and instantly understood what Fang Yi meant.
"Childe, look, there are so many people around there! It is estimated that there is a difficult lantern riddle that no one can solve! Chen Xingba's eyes lit up and he pointed to a large lantern hanging from a tree by the lake.
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
The three of them went to the bottom of the tree, and under a big red lantern hung a note with some words written on it, and many men and women with good looks gathered around the lantern at a loss.
The current situation is as Chen Xingba said, these people around the lantern are stumped by the lantern riddle!
"I think it's fire!"
"Nonsense, I think it's time!"
"I think it's a knife!"
The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, but everyone couldn't get the approval of others after saying their answers!
Fang Yi glanced at the note hanging under the lantern and asked softly, "Naturally, what is written on the note?" ”
"Huh?" Chen was naturally taken aback, "Childe is really illiterate?" ”
"Ah, this ......" Fang Yi was embarrassed, "How is it possible!" It was so late that I had the misfortune to suffer from night blindness! ”
Fang Yi was even more embarrassed after speaking.
The reason for this......
If you don't believe it yourself, will Chen naturally believe it?
Fang Yi secretly made up his mind at this time, in order to avoid losing face again in the future, he must study diligently in the future and learn this common script of the Tang Dynasty!
However, thinking of the hardships when he was a child when he first went to school to read and write, Fang Yi couldn't help but have the intention of retreating again.
Never mind...... Shame on you......
Shame on the ...... Just get used to it! When you lose all your face, you will be numb, and there will be nothing left to lose!
"Childe, what is written on it is 'What are you afraid of cloth and paper'! It seems that a lot of talented people have been stumped! Regarding Fang Yi's explanation, Chen naturally neither believed nor disbelieved, but only indifferently informed Fang Yi of the words on the note.
After Fang Yi heard the lantern riddle, his first reaction was actually fire.
But since it can be fire, it can be a knife, it can also be a chemical or something.
Obviously, the answer of fire is not convincing.
However, of course, this kind of lantern riddle couldn't help Fang Yi, an authentic modern person, Fang Yi quickly thought of the answer, and couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Why is this boy laughing? Could it be that you already have a plan? ”
An onlooker saw Fang Yi laughing and asked curiously.
Fang Yi pointed to the lantern with disdain, his face full of pride: "That's it?" What are you kidding, can this be a talent? I understood this kind of low-level riddle when I was four years old when I watched "Brain Teaser"! ”
"Brain teaser?" The onlookers looked at Fang Yi blankly, "What kind of book is this?" Unheard! ”
"yes...... Although I can't read all the books, I know a little bit about the books that exist in the world, what kind of brain is this...... It's unheard of! ”
Fang Yi gently patted the shoulders of the two: "Two brothers, you can't finish reading the book, and if you haven't heard it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist!" ”
"Then what is the answer to the mystery?"
"It's very simple, one is ten thousand, and the other is just in case!" Fang Yi smirked.
"Huh?" The onlookers pondered for a moment, and then their eyes lit up, "That's right! I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what happens! ”
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that? ”
"Hurry up, take the lantern down and see the mystery inside!"
"Ah, it's really ten thousand and what if!"
"Awesome my brother!"
Fang Yi waved his hand with an unfathomable expression: "Calm down, sit down, just do the regular operation!" Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend! ”
"Hahahaha......" The onlookers were all amused by Fang Yi's words.
Having easily solved the riddle, Fang Yi took Chen Tiantian and Chen Xingba to hide their merits and fame, and quietly left the scene.
"Childe is amazing! In just a moment, the riddle was solved! Naturally, I am ashamed! To be honest, I thought about it for a while, but I really didn't expect it to be this mystery! ”
After the three of them came to a place where there were relatively few people, Chen naturally looked at Fang Yi with admiration.
At this moment, Chen was naturally convinced of Fang Yi's explanation that he was blind at night and couldn't see things clearly at night.
How can an illiterate person solve a profound riddle so easily?
Chen Nature's praise made Fang Yi, a person who thought that his face was thicker than the city wall, a little embarrassed.
Fang Yi waved his hand very low-key: "Just know this kind of thing, you don't have to say it in front of so many people, it's embarrassing!" ”
“……”
"Haha, naturally!" Fang Yi suddenly looked at Chen Tiantian with a serious face, "Many times, people's thoughts can't be limited to one level!" You need to sublimate your mind to a different level! I want people below me to think differently, you know what I mean? ”
Chen naturally listened to Fang Yi's philosophical words and nodded thoughtfully.
"Someone! Come and help me! There are thieves! ”
Just as Fang Yi was about to continue to say some extremely coercive words, a woman's exclamation not far away interrupted Fang Yi.
