The teahouse suddenly became noisy, and everyone expressed their opinions and discussed.

After listening to the riddle, Chen Ping was also guessing, why did someone leave the village and the people in the village would disappear?

One of the scholars closest to the storyteller was the first to ask, "Is that woman a murderer?" ”

The storyteller covered his mouth with an open folding fan, "Yes and no." ”

"But because of the epidemic?"

"It's not."

"The reason for the deserted village is because of the woman?"

As soon as this question came out, it was ridiculed by the people around him, and this riddle has already been said.

The man also knew that he had asked a stupid question, and quickly hid in the crowd.

Although the question was not far from the riddle, the storyteller replied, "Yes." ”

"Does anyone know this woman in the village?"

"Yes."

"Is this woman a foreigner?"

"Yes and no."

"Another ambiguous answer......"

He Qingxuan always felt that he was almost able to grasp the answer, but he didn't know where it was missing for a while.

Someone asked in a loud voice, "But the woman attracted the bandits?" ”

"It's not."

This didn't interrupt He Qingxuan's train of thought all at once.

Chen Ping listened to these questions, and felt a little strange when summed up, this woman knew the people in the village, but she was not a foreigner, so can it be considered that this woman was once a foreigner and later became a villager?

In order to confirm his conjecture, Chen Ping first confirmed the problem with the storyteller.

With the affirmation of the storyteller, Chen Ping knew that his thinking was not wrong, and continued: "The relationship between the woman and the people in the village is not good? ”

"Yes and no."

Ye Chongwen jumped up and shouted, "I know!" Is that woman a monster? ”

For him, who is addicted to scripts, this is the best answer he can think of.

"It's not."

As soon as the storyteller's voice fell, the entire teahouse burst into laughter, Ye Chongwen blushed and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I thought it was some kind of weird rumor, but it doesn't seem to be." ”

Several middle-aged people next to him couldn't see it, and one of them slapped the table and said loudly, "Where are a few children here, talking nonsense here, go out." ”

The shouts drew everyone's attention, and some others echoed them.

Seeing this, Ye Chongwen and He Qingxuan took a few steps back to the corner.

Chen Ping frowned, walked to the middle-aged man's table without fear and asked, "This uncle, although we are still young, we also paid for tea when we entered the teahouse, why can't we come?" ”

After hearing this, everyone in the teahouse nodded in agreement, but the middle-aged man was still arrogant, "Come here and listen to the fun, what are you asking?" Don't bother us to solve the problem. ”

"So you think we can't guess the mystery?" Chen Ping stared at him and asked.

"Joke, so many people present can't guess, can you know it?" The middle-aged man looked at him with disdain.

"I guessed it, what should I do?"

"If you guess correctly, I'll add the usual reward."

Chen Ping shook his head, "I don't want your reward, I guess, you apologize to us." ”

The middle-aged man and his companion glanced at each other, now this is difficult to ride a tiger, and the people in the teahouse are all looking at this, how can they be frightened by a child, "Okay, I agreed, so what if you don't guess?" ”

Ye Chongwen and He Qingxuan were still young after all, and seeing such a situation, the two of them tremblingly stepped forward to grab Chen Ping and wanted to leave.

But Chen Ping looked at them calmly and comforted them softly, "Believe me, I want to try." ”

It seemed that some kind of unclear belief was ignited, and they calmed down and stood firmly with Chen Ping.

Chen Ping took the hands of the two and said to the middle-aged man, "If I didn't guess, the three of us bowed and apologized for disturbing you, and left the teahouse immediately." ”

"Okay, then tell the mystery and let the storyteller comment." The middle-aged man sat back in his chair, and a look of watching a show flashed in his eyes.

Chen Ping did not respond to his words, but asked the storyteller on the stage, "Sir, may I ask you a few more questions?" ”

The storyteller folded the folding fan and put it on the table, sitting upright and smiling, "Of course, although the little brother asks, I can only answer yes and no." ”

"That's nature, I want to ask the reason for the deserted village, but the villagers are all dead?" Chen Ping asked.

"It's not."

Then he asked, "But the woman doesn't want to live here?" ”

"Yes."

This time, Chen Ping felt that he had guessed the answer.

In fact, before asking these two questions, I had a rough idea in mind, and now I can almost confirm it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to be tough with the middle-aged man directly, otherwise the child would have lowered his head and walked away anyway.

Chen Ping asked two questions in a row, and the storyteller couldn't help but be a little more curious about his answer, seeing that he pondered for a long time, he urged, "Why don't you continue to ask?" ”

"I already have the answer, do I need to come up to the stage and tell me in person?"

"Oh? Today can be an exception, the little brother can just say it directly. ”

After getting permission from the storyteller, Chen Ping said what he thought was the answer.

The riddle given by the gentleman is that as soon as the woman leaves the village, the village becomes a deserted village. From the answers to many questions just now, it can be analyzed that this woman is a foreigner and has a grudge against the village, but she lives in this village and has her husband's family. Then there is only one possibility, that is, she doesn't want to come here at all, but she has to come for some reason.

And the reason why leaving the village led to the deserted village is most likely that she said something to the same person when she went out, which caused a secret or something in the village to be discovered, so the villagers fled and scattered and became a deserted village.

So I boldly guessed that she was forcibly abducted and trafficked to the village as a daughter-in-law, and there may have been many people in the village who had the same experience as her.

Sir, I don't know if I'm right? ”

When Chen Ping finished speaking, everyone in the teahouse looked at the storyteller on the stage, and Ye Chongwen and He Qingxuan also held their breath nervously and stared at the front.

The storyteller's eyes gradually revealed joy, and then he shouted to the shopkeeper behind him, "Good boy, this color is yours today." ”

The teahouse building instantly became noisy, and everyone applauded.

"Guess right?"

"Good! Good! Good! ”

"This kid is so good, he really guessed the riddle."

Ye Chongwen jumped up excitedly and pointed at Chen Ping speechless, and He Qingxuan also looked at him panting, with tears in his eyes.

The middle-aged man who reprimanded them just now looked at Chen Ping blankly with a look of disbelief.

The storyteller reminded him, "It's the man who should fulfill his promise and should apologize to the three little brothers." ”

Such a happy scene, the crowd watching the excitement also coaxed.

Only then did the middle-aged man react, and in full view of everyone, he stood up and walked over to him and said, "Three little brothers, please forgive me for the offense." ”

"We accept the uncle's apology. But I hope that the uncle will stop bullying young people in the future. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the three of them also looked at each other and laughed happily.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse came out with the usual money tied with a red rope in his hand and handed it over to Chen Ping, which was heavy.

The enthusiasm of everyone in the teahouse almost overwhelmed Chen Ping, and finally saw a gap between the crowd, so he quickly slipped out of the teahouse.

Ye Chongwen and He Qingxuan wanted to keep up, but they didn't squeeze out of the crowd for a long time.

As soon as Chen Ping walked to the door of the teahouse, he was blocked by a familiar face.
