Chapter 52: Brain teaser
Zhongli turned to look at him, and suddenly rushed over to hug him.
She was so excited, so happy, so much that she wanted to cry.
He actually knew that she did it on purpose.
It's easy to get a daughter, but it's hard to find a confidant.
It turned out that he understood her, no wonder he was so cooperative, scolding the boat passenger all night.
Qin Jue's tiger body was shocked by her, and her sober mind was hugged by her like this.
No, what does she mean by that?
How do you feel her face moving towards his, her lips seem to be moving in the direction of his face, she can't be trying to kiss him, right?
Even if he helped her, he didn't need such a stimulating thanks, right?
But if she insisted, he would be reluctant to let her kiss her, and although it would not be good to do so in front of everyone, he would be sad to refuse her.
"I'll tell you something, don't get excited, don't scream."
Her mellow voice came from his ears, and her breath brushed every sense of his ear like a brush.
His heart was pounding, and he was mentally prepared now that he wouldn't scream.
Zhongli was afraid that he would scream in shock, and the hand around his neck tightened.
"This is a thief ship, the owner and all the sailors, they are all water thieves, and last night they were going to wipe our necks while we were all asleep."
"Boom-"
Qin Jue's mind went blank for a moment, what did he hear just now?
Qin Jue pushed her away ignorantly, blinking: "You say it again." ”
Zhongli looked at him faintly and said with certainty, "You heard it right. Even if I say it a hundred times, the content will not change. ”
"Poof-huh-hahahaha."
Qin Jue laughed, but his whole face was twitching in pain, making it impossible to figure out whether he was crying or laughing.
Zhongli Youyou was not much better than him when he first knew, and he was already very calm at this time: "Are you okay?" ”
Qin Jue had a bitter face: "It's not good, my legs are weak." ”
He collapsed and fell towards Zhongli Youyou, and she held him in time.

The two of them went back to the cabin and lay down motionless.
Only in this way can you calm down.
Zhongli looked around, some people were happily discussing what to eat after leaving the state, some people were sleeping, and the little girl on the bed opposite her was climbing up and down on her mother, so peaceful and peaceful, no one knew that they might not see the sun tomorrow.
She sat up suddenly.
Qin Jue knew what she was going to do, pulled her to sleep, and whispered: "Tell them that it is inevitable, let them sleep first, and now they won't be able to sleep after saying it." ”
That's right, some people are too scared to say it now, and the water thieves may find out.
Zhongli yawned and went to sleep.
Qin Jue and Zhongli woke up in the afternoon, went to wash hand in hand, and went to eat hand in hand.
Only by holding hands can they not tremble, and only by holding hands can they feel safe.
After eating, the two stood on the bow of the boat and stood facing the wind to think of countermeasures.
You can't kill more than a hundred water thieves with cows and horses.
Running away now will result in a faster death.
Only if you don't sleep, there is a glimmer of life.
But not sleeping may only be two more days to live, and no matter how much the thief loses in the end, the brothers will definitely do it before the ship arrives and leaves the state.
Qin Jue knows water, Zhongli Youyou can also water, they can find a chance to jump into the water at night to escape, but they can't bear to have more than a hundred lives like this.
They must be rescued.
Suddenly, Qin Jue and Zhongli held hands at the same time, and turned their heads to look at each other with shining eyes: "I thought of it." ”
*
Zhongli Youyou and Qin Jue returned to the cabin, and she clapped her hands happily and shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
"I'm going to play a little game with you, and it's called a brain teaser. I give the question, and whoever can answer it will give him a hundred taels. Rush to answer, whoever raises his hand first can answer, I don't want his money if I can't answer, I can only sing a song loudly. No matter what you see while singing, you can't stop, and if you stop, you have to give me a thousand taels. ”
Who didn't want such a good thing, and the news quickly spread throughout the cabin, and they were in a high mood and waiting for the answer to the question.
The water thieves also received the message and looked at the door of the cabin.
Zhongli cleared his throat: "I said the title, you can only raise your hand after counting one, two, three, understand?" ”
Everyone shouted in unison.
Zhongli Youyou said, "I have a problem. Excuse me: Wang Gongzi shaves his beard 30 times a day, why does he still have a beard on his face? One two three. ”
Even modern people who often play brain teasers may not be able to answer it instantly, and these ancient people who have not seen it are even more unlikely to guess.
Everyone raised their hands, Zhongli nodded his hand indiscriminately, and looked at the man who was a little stunned: "You answer." ”
The dumb man replied, "Because he shaved someone else's beard." ”
Zhongli Youyou: "......"
Bang bang, my face hurts.
Qin Jue, who knew the answer, was also stunned, he couldn't guess it, this nerd actually guessed it at once.
This method doesn't work, and if he asks another question, he and Zhong Liang will become poor.
Do you want to discuss a different approach with Zhong Liang?
In his contemplation, the clock has already announced that the stupid man has answered correctly, and the prize money will be distributed uniformly at the end of the game.
She pretended to congratulate the dumb man, and clapped her hands again: "Question 2: What is the difference between Confucius and Mencius, one or two ......"
"We'll answer it too." The water thief at the door thought it was funny and wanted to come in and answer the question.
Qin Jue was shocked, the water thief came in and played the game in vain.
"This game can only be played by our boatmen, you don't have a share." Zhongli Youyou flicked his hands at them and said to everyone, "One, two, three." ”
Everyone brushed and raised their hands again.
Zhongli Youyou took some time to choose a not very shrewd old man: "You answer." ”
The old man replied with a smile: "The difference is that one of them is surnamed Kong and the other is surnamed Meng." ”
Zhongli smiled happily: "Wrong." The correct answer is: The son of Confucius is on the left, and the son of Mencius is on the top. Sing. ”
The old man scratched his head in disappointment: "I can't sing, I can learn to bark, I'll call you, baa-"
Although he barked like a sheep, Zhongli Youyou also let him pass the test, and just about to come up with the next question, he inadvertently swept towards the water thief at the door: "Idle people can't wait, close the door." ”
Qin Jue went to close the cabin door and closed the windows on both sides.
The water thieves could not see and could only listen outside the cabin.
From time to time there was the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves in the cabin, which was so unpleasant that their ears were so bad that they listened to a few songs and then left.
One by one, they complained at the bow that Zhongli Youyou did not let them participate, and complained that the people in the cabin sang ugly.
The thief boss glanced at them with a deep gaze, and they were immediately frightened.
The thief boss said in a faint voice: "Let me sleep, and cheer me up at night to kill water fish." ”
One of the thieves said, "What if they don't sleep tonight?" ”
The thief boss didn't speak, just stared at him, and he bowed his head tremblingly.
The thief boss narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth seemed to smile: "Unless they are immortals, knowing that we are going to slaughter them at night." ”
