Chapter 31: Victory
I didn't know what he was going to do, I just beat the drum in my heart. He glanced back at me, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became larger and larger: "Presumably Ah Yuan will not disappoint this king, right?" ”
He kept his voice so low that only I could hear him. I understood what he meant, so I could only stand up and look at my eyes with a brush below, and my face began to go numb.
"I... I..." I didn't say anything else for a long time, and the bustard was also a little unhappy at this time, although she was laughing, but there was already some emotion in her words: "Isn't this son teasing us?" ”
I opened and closed my mouth, my heart almost jumping out of my throat. I know that if I don't say it now, the King of Joy will definitely not let me go when I go back, but if I do, what should I say?
There was silence in the hall, and I lowered my eyelids and pondered for a moment, remembering a brain teaser I had seen before, and said, "It's not a good idea, but there's a riddle for the two girls to try." ”
The crowd, which had been quiet in the audience, fluctuated again, and I heard someone say in a very disdainful tone: "What should I do, it was just a mystery, cut..."
Ignoring their disdain and contempt, I cleared my throat and began to say in a loud voice: "There is a kind of thing, four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, three legs in the evening, a pillar of incense, two girls, please!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone discussed: "Four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night, how can there be such a strange thing in this world?" ”
"It's just... This can't be a monster. An uncle with a black beard looked at me in horror, and quickly lowered his head, as if something terrible had happened.
I ignored their arguments, and just looked straight at the "poppy" girl, full of anticipation.
"Two girls, the incense has been burned for two-thirds, I wonder if there is a result?" Looking at Yingge and Hanying on the stage frowning and contemplating, there was a hint of anxiety in the old bustard's words.
"I give up!" Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Hanying could only shake her head helplessly.
"What about Sakura-chan? Did you come up with an answer? Shen Yu shook his fan with the mood of watching a play and asked casually.
There was silence again, and Sakura on the stage neither nodded nor shook his head, just lowered his head and pondered, ignoring all the movements around him.
When the last piece of incense turned to ashes, a delicate tone with affirmation sounded in the ears: "It's a person!" ”
"What?" As if they didn't understand, everyone turned their heads to look at the alluring face, wanting to confirm again.
"People! The answer to this mystery is man! Sakura on the stage bowed slightly, and a light smile hung on the corner of her mouth and continued to explain: "In the morning, even when they are very young, people walk on 'four legs', that is, they crawl on the ground, when they grow up, they can stand up, so they walk on 'two legs' at noon, and at night they are old, and they will use a crutch to help them walk, and they will become 'three legs'." ”
Seeing that she guessed it, I was really relieved, and turned back to the King of Joy with a smug smile. But he didn't look at me at all, turned around and walked out.
I hurriedly chased after it, but bumped into Shen Yu who came out of nowhere at the top of the stairs. He covered his injured arm and glared at me fiercely, scolding in his mouth: "You don't have eyes!" ”
As soon as I saw that it was him, he covered his face and said sorry, and then turned around and wanted to escape.
He refused to let me go, grabbed me by the collar, picked up his fist and was about to smash it in my face, and stopped when he saw my face: "It's you!" ”
"Hehe, it's me and it's me...", I said flatteringly: "General Shen, long time no see, how are you doing lately?" ”
"Humph!" He pushed me forward, and my body crashed unsuspectingly into the handrail of the wooden ladder, causing me to grin in pain.
"Why are you so heavy, I didn't mess with you!" I rolled my eyes at him unhappily, and he looked at me disdainfully. Suddenly, we all seemed to think of something, I smiled at him, pulled up my legs and ran, and he also flew in the way of my body that was about to walk out of Tianxianglou.
"General, you see it's getting late, your mother should be calling you home for dinner, why don't we get together another day?"
"That's right, let's go!" As soon as he finished speaking, there were a lot of people around me. I knew that I couldn't hide today, so I had to tie my hands and obediently follow those people to the General's Mansion.
The General's Mansion was far less magnificent than the Palace's, and the garden was full of dead branches and leaves, and the fallen leaves were spread all over the ground, and there was no one in the courtyard except for the soldiers standing guard.
When I was taken to a dark room by his people, before I could stand firmly, I saw Shen Yu standing at the door and smiled at me gloomily, I heard him tell the soldiers outside the door to lock the door, and I heard him say that he was not allowed to give me water and food, he was obviously revenge for letting the King of Freedom beat him last time!
I was so angry that I stomped my foot on the spot, slapped the door panel and shouted, "Let me out!" I know I was sorry for you that time, but you did tell me those things, and I wasn't wrong, not to mention how I knew that the Easy King would put so much on him! General Shen, you will spare me this time, I swear, from now on, I will never provoke you again, okay? ”
There was no movement outside the door, and I sat down on the floor against the door, knowing that he was gone, and looked at the dark room with a dejected look, wondering why I could not escape the punishment of the little black room.
The eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness here, and the window panels of the room had been nailed with wooden strips, and the windows were covered with a thick black cloth, presumably prepared by the general's palace to imprison those who had made mistakes. I stood up and wrenched the sticks with my hand, but I couldn't pull them in the slightest.
I saw that there were no tables or chairs in the room, so I had to sit down again against the corner. After a while, there were a few "squeaks" in my ears, I knew it was a mouse, maybe there would be Xiaoqiang here, but with my rich experience of squatting in a small black house, I was used to these things.
I figured that if I hadn't returned to the palace tonight, the King would have sent someone to find me, so I wasn't worried that he would dare not let me out. Now I only have one thing to worry about, and that is to eat.
I licked my mouth as I touched my already rumbling belly, and began to fantasize about countless delicacies in my head.
"Hmm... Roast duck, roast chicken thighs, chicken porridge..."I muttered in my mouth, and I found that those delicacies really appeared in front of me, and the fragrant smell went straight into my nostrils.
I looked at the plate of delicacies in front of me, swallowed my saliva, tore off a duck leg fiercely, and couldn't wait to open my mouth and send it to my mouth.
