Chapter 85: The Old Man Who Likes to Guess Riddles
Ash's momentum weakened in an instant.
In fact, looking at all his adventures, the only one who can scare him so ruthlessly and ruthlessly is Xiaoxia, a beautiful girl with a somewhat brutal and willful personality and known as the first in the universe.
"Damn, dare to underestimate me!" In this regard, Xiao Zhi was naturally unconvinced, and said loudly, "Okay, then tomorrow I'll let you see how I got the Crimson Badge with my own strength!" ”
"Really?" Seeing that Ash was so easy to take the bait, Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Since you are so confident, then we can wait and see!" ”
Late at night, Xia You returned to the room, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.
In the other two beds, Ash and Xiaogang slept soundly, snoring one after another, deafening, like a hacksaw, constantly cutting trees in Xia You's ears!
He tossed and turned, thought about it, took out his mobile phone, logged in to the communication software, and clicked on the message that he had never read.
Pink Dream: Brother Xia You, is it going well?
The slightest change in title, calm tone, although it was just such a short sentence, but Xia You had been with her for a few months, and she was already familiar with her temperament, and naturally knew that she was obviously not relieved of that incident.
Looking at her avatar, Xia You's mind seemed to be able to remember the pitiful appearance of this seemingly strong girl who cried with rain when she refused at the beginning.
And every time he thought about it, it was as if there was a cold knife that pierced him deeply in the heart.
With a slight sigh, Xia You's fingers moved slightly.
It's all bubbles: It's okay, not only did she take in a few Pokémon, but Larulas also evolved into Chirulian.
Perhaps because he felt that his tone was too stiff, Xia You continued to type.
It's all a bubble: sorry I haven't reached out to you for so long, how are you doing?
After the confidence was sent, Xia You looked at the dialog box and was stunned.
The avatars of the two of them are actually taken from the same photo, but unlike the girl, the main body of Xia You's avatar is himself, in front of the camera, his handsome and handsome face showed a chuckle, and on the side, there was a pair of white and tender arms, tightly encircling his arms.
originally thought that it was so late, the other party had already rested, Xia You was about to turn off the phone, but who knew that after just a few seconds, the girl had already replied to the message.
adjusted his lying posture, and Xia You clicked on the message.
Pink Dream: It's the same as before, my mother still lets me practice with the one-horned rhinoceros every day, [howling and crying JPG], it's really hard.
Although nothing was indicated, Xia You seemed to be able to feel the girl's excitement between the lines.
But for a while, he didn't know how to reply to her, so he could only divert the topic and talk to the girl about some daily events, until ten minutes later, he felt sleepy, and then took the initiative to end the conversation.
……
On the same day, Xia You and a few people came out of the Pokémon Center and finally really appreciated this bustling town famous for its hot springs.
Tourists from the mainland are everywhere, and there are people waiting in front of almost every store on the street.
Most of the products sold are traditional yukata robes, hot spring eggs, and other items related to hot springs.
According to the navigation on their mobile phones, they passed through Red Lotus Town and walked to the street where the gym was located at the foot of the volcano, only to find that the location that should have been the gym had turned into a hot spring hotel!
"Huh?" Xiaoxia said strangely, "Hot spring hotel? Did the gym move the place? ”
Hearing the voice, an old man dressed in red, with a long beard under his nose, sunglasses, and a Beatles, walked out of the hotel and came to them.
Seeing Xia You and the others, without waiting for them to speak, the old man asked directly: "The head is cold, the body is warm, what is this?" ”
"Huh? Is this a riddle? Ash was stunned for a moment, and then said very cooperatively, "The mystery should refer to the person who puts his head in the refrigerator, rolls up an electric blanket on his body, and takes a nap." ”
The peculiar brain circuit made the old man frown, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, what kind of answer are you!" If you don't understand, don't answer randomly! ”
Xiaoxia's gaze retracted from behind the old man, and said confidently: "I think, what you are talking about is an open-air hot spring." ”
Seeing that someone had guessed the answer to the riddle, the old man nodded happily.
"That's right, that's right, what a smart little girl in ice and snow! So listen to the next riddle, cake, egg and rice, among them, what is the puppy's favorite food? ”
Xiao Gang thought for a moment and felt that since it was a riddle, the answer naturally couldn't be so simple, so he asked tentatively, "Is it rice?" ”
"That's not right!" Xiaoxia shook her head, "I guess it's cake!" ”
"Please." Ash spread his hands, "Only Xiaoxia you love to eat cakes, things that are too sweet are easy to get fat, how can a puppy be the same as you!" ”
Ignoring Xiao Zhi, who was beaten violently, on the side, Xia You had already guessed the identity of the old man at this time, and he smiled: "I think, the answer to the mystery should be eggs." ”
"Oh?" The old man looked at him and asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?" ”
"Because people often say that eggs have bones in them!"
"Hahahaha! That's right! The old man laughed, a little smug, "How is it?" The old man's riddles are interesting, right? ”
Ash, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang all sighed helplessly, to be honest, they really couldn't understand the joke.
Only Xia You suddenly became interested: "Come and don't be rude, since that's the case, it's better to let me tell a riddle." ”
"That's a surprise!" The old man's eyes lit up, "Only the old man has ever tested other people's shares, and no one has ever tested the old man, so let the horse come!" ”
Clearing his throat, Xia You asked, "Excuse me, two people fell into the trap at the same time, the dead are called dead people, and what are the living people called?" ”
“… What is it called? ”
Although the old man and Xiaoxia guessed many answers, they were all vetoed by Xia You one by one in the end.
In the end, Xiaoxia shook her head and asked curiously: "What is the mystery?" ”
"Help, of course!" After speaking, Xia You laughed to himself, just laughing and laughing, seeing that the four of them were speechless, he couldn't help but stop slightly embarrassed.
"Huh?" He said incredulously, "Don't you get the laugh?" ”
The laugh?
Ash, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were puzzled, and they didn't understand the difference between this and the riddle that the old man had just said.
Is it really that funny?
The old man also said: "Boy, the old man thought that my riddles were boring enough, but I didn't expect your jokes to be even more boring than the old man." ”
"None... Bored!?? ”
Xia You simply suffered 10,000 critical hits, and he said unwillingly: "Okay! Then I'll have another one! Listen, excuse me, what is there that people are willing to pay for when they know they are fake? ”
Before everyone could guess the riddle, Xia You had already pointed to the old man's hair and laughed loudly: "Of course it's a wig!" Hahaha..."
Xiaoxia: ...
Ash: ...
Xiao Gang: ...
"Alas!" The old man sighed, stepped closer, and patted Xia You's shoulder.
"Young man, I admire your cold humor very much, on the road of riddles, from now on, I am willing to treat you as my biggest competitor!"
"Huh!?" Xia You was stunned, then slapped his hand away, and said angrily, "his biggest competitor!" When did I say I'm going to fight you in a dry humor battle!? ”
