Chapter 64: Guess the lantern riddle
Su Bai's cold sweat has come down, and tonight's image of a master is afraid to be ruined! Su Bai wanted to find an excuse to slip away, but Wang Fatzi grabbed his arm and dragged him into the store and said, "Where is the riddle?" My brothers are here," a runner ran over in a few steps and said, "The two sons are here to guess the lantern riddle?" Wang Fatzi said angrily: "Nonsense, why don't I ask you why", ran the hall and hurriedly said: "The two sons are also invited to go to the second floor, the riddles, all on the second floor!" ”
"Lead the way!" Wang Fatzi said very imposingly, turned around and waved his hand at the four runners: "You guys are waiting for me downstairs" "Yes, the owner!" The four runners agreed, and the runners led the four people up to the second floor, the second floor was very empty, and the places where the seats were originally placed were also moved, and the lanterns were placed one by one, and under the lanterns were red papers, on which the lantern riddles were written.
"Childe, this is our Ruyi Zhai's lantern riddle, as long as you guess any lantern riddle, you can eat a table of wine for free, our host also said, you need to guess one per person correctly!". Su Bai nodded, that is to say, if he guessed correctly, he couldn't take Wang Fatzi in, if he wanted to go in for a banquet, these four people would have to guess the four riddles correctly. That's embarrassing! It's not that I'm afraid that they won't be able to get in, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to get in!
After the introduction, he went downstairs to entertain other guests, and at this time there were more than ten literati on the second floor, who were shaking their heads and thinking about the answer, when suddenly a student laughed twice, took down a lantern and said: "I solved the puzzle, draw the circle, write the square, have it warm, not as cold as it." Is this riddle a 'day' word? The sun is round, the writing is square, it's warm when there's sun, it's cold when there's no sun, man, I'm right? ”
"Congratulations to this son, the answer is correct, please go up to the third floor for a banquet" The guy ran over respectfully, picked up the scholar's lantern in his hand, and led the way in front. The scholar was very proud, arched his hand to the surroundings, threw down the hem, and followed the hall to the third floor, which is called a spirit!
Wang Fatzi looked a little red and said: "Ugly cow brother, hurry up, how can you make people specialize in beauty, these riddles must be no problem for you." Wang Fatzi's voice was not small, and for a while everyone's eyes looked over, and when it was clear that they were all a group of teenage children, several scholars laughed directly: "Hahaha, simple?" I'm going to see how many questions you can guess." The surrounding scholars also laughed, all looking at Su Bai and them playfully.
Su Bai sighed secretly, now it's okay, there is no way to retreat, if you don't answer it, you won't lose the dead, and now you can only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor! I took a lantern in my hand, and I saw that it was written, 'Song characters went to cover, not to guess the wooden characters', hey, this lantern riddle seems to be a little impression, where did I seem to have seen it? Song Zi went to cover, isn't it just Nianmu? In the second sentence, he said that it was not a 'wood', and Wang Fatzi touched his chin, and also shook his head like other literati, as if he could come up with the answer to the riddle.
The word Song went to cover, the word Song went to cover, read it twice, Su Bai's eyes lit up, this riddle is a 'Li' word! Song characters go to cover, not just a Song, 'word' also has to go to cover, both of them are treasure covers, after they are removed, there is a 'wood' and a 'son', plus together is not a plum word? Su Bai smiled: "Man, the riddle of this question is the word 'Li', right?" The guy ran over in two steps, glanced at the fan and said, "Congratulations to the son, you are right, please go up to the third floor for a banquet" After speaking, he lifted the lantern and wanted to take Su Bai to the third floor.
Su Bai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I still have three companions!" Wang Fatzi looked around excitedly, and snorted coldly: "Didn't you want to see how many questions we could guess before?" Next, keep your eyes open and take a closer look! ”。 The faces of the surrounding students were a little ugly, and the mouth of this little fat man was really unforgiving. Su Bai didn't care about Wang Fugui, and walked to the next riddle, hoping that it would be simpler.
The riddle of the "man in the mirror" is very simple, Su Bai laughed out loud when he saw the riddle, he has also seen this question, and he has seen it in an online drama, what he sees in the mirror is the opposite, and the word "in" is in turn a "in". Su Bai chuckled and said, "Man, the riddle of this question is a 'inconsistency' word?" The guy came over with a lantern and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the son, the riddle is exactly a 'in' word!" ”。
"Wow" guessed two questions in a row, the surrounding students know that this kid is not simple, there are only these riddles on the second floor, they have all seen it before, and they are looking for some of the ones they think are simpler to guess, and it is naturally difficult to stay. But even if it's difficult, it didn't take this kid half an hour to guess, this is a real talent!
The man took off the lantern again, and followed behind Su Bai with one in one hand, and Su Bai continued to walk towards the next lantern riddle.
There was only one word on it this time, Su Bai was a little dazed, and turned around and asked the guy: "This question, but I don't know what to guess?" The guy said respectfully: "Young man, this question is to guess an animal" "Animal? "Wang Fatzi can't figure it out at all, this is writing the word 'horse' to guess the animal, is it about horses?" Is it a horse? Wang Fugui asked cautiously, and the man shook his head and said, "Gongzi, it's not." Su Bai glanced at this fat man, he wasn't very showy on the street before! Why is it so stupid and sweet now, if it were so simple, no one would guess if it was placed here?
'Horse, horse, huh? Could it be an elk? Su Bai secretly thought, the word 'four' is missing, isn't it just reading 'horse', that is to say, it is not like four, and the four is not like an elk? Hahahaha, I'm a genius!
"Man, the answer is 'four dislikes', right?" Su Bai's voice was brisk, as if he didn't care at all and said the answer, the guy nodded and said: "This son is really knowledgeable, he even knows the animal 'four dislikes', and his knowledge is really not ordinary, congratulations to the son for answering correctly, the riddle is the 'four dislikes'."
"This, this, yes, the word is missing, isn't it just four like!" Stretched out his hand and slapped a student's thigh, looking very remorseful, obviously he also knew the four different animals. Wang Fatzi was even more angry, he took the lantern on it and held it in his hand and said: "That's three, there are four of us in total, I'm afraid we have to go up to the third floor in front of you to have a banquet!" ”。
Originally, a few students who planned to come over to see Su Bai's riddle were so crowded with Wang Fatzi that they all went back. "What's so proud, it's not something you guessed", a certain student muttered a few sentences, Wang Fatzi's face was also unusual, as if he hadn't heard it at all, he squeezed his eyes at Su Bai and said: "Hurry up, Wang Dacai, there is still the last one" Su Bai guessed three times in a row, and he also felt that his self-confidence was bursting, and he smiled and walked towards the fourth puzzle.
The guy ran to Su Bai and said: "Childe, this is the most difficult anagram on our second floor, this is the third year that it has been hung out, and no one has been able to guess it yet. The surrounding scribes and students also gathered around, all wanting to see if this little genius could come up with the most difficult lantern riddle.
Wang Fatzi was also a little panicked, so many people were watching, if he didn't answer, it wouldn't be a shame for Su Bai alone, he had said it before, and the four of them went to the banquet together, but they also ran into a lantern riddle that no one had answered in the past three years, and now if it is changed to another lantern riddle, wouldn't it be despised by people. For a while, the fat man was also nervous, and the fat girl took the lantern in the buddy's hand heartlessly, and had fun alone.
I saw that this riddle was a couplet, and the upper couplet was 'black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not; It is as if it were foxes, wolves, cats and dogs, neither domestic animals nor wild animals'. The next couplet is 'There are poems, there are words, and there are also Analects; The southeast, northwest and northwest are vague, although it is a short product, but it is a wonderful article'.
For a while, the second floor was strangely quiet, and the students on the second floor had all seen this anagram before, and they couldn't find a clue at all after looking at it twice and gave up. Su Bai was so surprised that he was almost speechless when he looked at this couplet, he had seen this lantern riddle! I don't remember where I saw it, but I did!
"The answer is two words: 'guess the riddle', I don't know if I'm right?" Su Bai forcibly suppressed the excitement, the man's eyes widened when he heard it, his face was full of disbelief, and everyone was also startled when they saw the guy's expression, could it be that they guessed right?
"Congratulations, congratulations to the childe, the answer is the word 'guessing riddle'" The man's voice trembled a little, I didn't expect that it was such a little child, who could guess four riddles in a row, and even more difficult questions! It's really not ordinary.
Why is it a guess? Wang Fugui asked the question that everyone wanted to ask, and Su Bai smiled: "We now have five most common colors, green, yellow, red, white and black, not black, white, red and yellow, then there is 'green' left." It seems to be like a fox, wolf, cat and dog, not a domestic animal and a beast, then there is a dog word left, which adds up to the word 'guess' of guessing the riddle."
The surrounding students looked at each other with admiration, what kind of wisdom can this come up with, Su Bai continued: "There are poems, words, and Analects, that is, next to a word, vague to the southeast, northwest and northwest, that is to get lost, and adding a mystery next to the word is a guessing 'riddle' word."
"Good!"
"The little brother is really wise!"
The surrounding students were convinced, and they did not hesitate to appreciate, Su Bai nodded with a smile, and the unusual respect of the running hall led the four of them to the third floor in front of them to taste the wine banquet of Ruyi Zhai.
"Wang Dacaizi, Brother Ugly Niu..."A student muttered, these two sentences were said by Wang Fugui just now, and after muttering twice, the student's eyes suddenly widened and exclaimed: "He is Xiaowenqu, Wang Chouniu!" ”
