"Look at their shoes. ”

The man in white pointed to the feet of the two again.

Hui'er looked at it carefully, still didn't know why, pursed her lips and shook her head.

The man in white smiled helplessly: "You took a closer look at their uppers and found something?"

Hui'er opened her eyes a little wider, and the two dark eyes reflected the dancing candle flames, set on a small face as round as pebbles, like two points of light that were not hidden when the kitten was stealing food in the moonlight.

She stared at the four black boots with bated breath, and inexplicably felt nervous as if she was spying on a certain big case, and she couldn't help but dare not take a breath.

She stared intently for a long time, and she didn't even know that there were two dishes on the table, until both pairs of eyes were sore, she turned her head around, and looked at the white-clothed man sitting opposite silently aggrievedly.

And the man in white was eating with relish, and let out a few exclamations from time to time.

"'Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of being fine,' Confucius was really right......!

When he said this, it was as if he had completely forgotten what he had just asked, and was just enjoying his own meal.

Hui'er really didn't have the heart to eat, and wanted to ask him what clues he saw, but suddenly remembered the scene in the afternoon-

"Hui'er, do you know what I said to Miss Xiaoye?"

"Childe, you came up with a way so quickly, it must not be a difficult way to reach the sky, and let me think for an hour...... No, I thought about it for an hour and a half, and I would definitely be able to come up with it, and you must not say it, otherwise I would definitely be able to help but listen!"

——

I haven't figured out the previous question yet, and I was stumped by this one, I knew it was so, and nine years ago, I went to ask the old gentleman to accept another disciple, and the province was tricked by the son every day like now......

"Childe, what's so special about the shoes of the two of them, I think they're just ordinary shoes......"

The man in white stopped his chopsticks and joked to her with a humorous smile: "Why, has an hour and a half passed so quickly?"

When Hui'er heard her joke, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and a few strands of hair happened to hang down into her neckline, scratching her neck slightly, and she unconsciously lowered her chin and rubbed against her collar.

"Haha, you have to eat more chicken brains and duck brains in the future, so that you can become smarter. ”

"Why is it chicken brains and duck brains, can't you eat cow brains and sheep brains?"

"Huh—how can your brain be that big? hahaha......"

While the two were talking and laughing, the little guy in the store served another dish of salted chicken.

Hui'er looked at the saltwater chicken and laughed out loud.

After the man in white teased her again, he said slowly: "Their shoes are indeed ordinary shoes, but the soles and uppers are stained with mud. What did you think of?"

After taking a look, she did see that there were a few dried mud blocks on his shoes, but he had always thought that the problem was the shoe standard, texture, color, etc., but he didn't notice the mud stains on them, and he couldn't help but scream softly, but then his brows furrowed.

"So what does that mean? Maybe it's just that they've all been out when it's raining. ”

"Although we have only been here for half a day, there is neither standing water nor damp on the streets, and it is not as dry as in the northwest, and it rains, even if it is only a light rain, it will take at least three days for the road to dry. So since it hasn't rained in recent days, and both of them have mud on their shoes, what does it mean?"

Hui'er thought for a while and said excitedly: "Explanation...... It means that they have all been to places with mud! Maybe it's farmland, maybe it's a lake!"

"Not only these two places, but also the gardens or the workshops that use water, and they are all going today. ”

Hui'er was puzzled, "How did Childe know that they were going today?"

The white-clothed man laughed twice, turned the chopsticks in his hand upside down and tapped lightly on the top of her head, "Look at that lean man's clothes, he must be a rich man, if he gets his shoes dirty before today, even if his wife and concubine don't remind him to change, the servants in the house will definitely take care of it." ”

"Yes......" Hui'er rubbed the place where he had been beaten, and asked, "But even so, how can the son conclude that they are master and servant?

"Yes, I can tell that they are master and servants, and not on that basis, you can look at their hands and their shirts. ”

Hui'er put down the chopsticks in her hand and turned her head to look again. After a while, he seemed to have found some treasure, and said excitedly: "I see it! There are some colored stains on their hands and clothes!"

The boy in white smiled, his teeth were as white as the autumn moon, and he was even three points better than his white brocade robe.

"There is growth, and the mud is finally on the wall, hahaha...... But what do you think those stains are?"

"Well, the color doesn't look like rouge gouache, it's the dye of the cloth......," he said, and as if he had thought of something, he became excited, "They have all been to the dyeing room, and there must be a lot of water in the dyeing room for workmanship, so they stained their shoes again!"

"That's right, the two of them have been dyed black between their fingers, which is the result of working in the dyeing shop all year round, so the thin man is undoubtedly the owner of the dyeing house, and the fat man must be the guy in the dyeing workshop. ”

After listening to his analysis, Hui'er focused her head a few times. It's just that although one puzzle has been solved, the other puzzle has not been resolved.

"But even if they are masters and servants, and they talk happily at this time, how can they say that the master has a request for the servant?"

They did talk merrily, and they were all smiling. But if you look closely at their expressions, the fat man is smiling, but the flesh next to his cheekbones is straight and dull, and there is no joy in his eyes, but a hint of worry from time to time, which is what is called 'forced laughter', while the thin man is dancing with his eyebrows, smiling almost flatteringly, and his body is still leaning towards the opposite side, which is obviously a gesture of goodwill. ”

As he had said, she looked at the fat man's side face and eyes, and then at the thin man, and saw that they were indeed as he said, and the fat man frowned a few times from time to time, and did not look happy at all.

"It's not just that, it's the dishes on their table that are interesting......"

"They ordered seven or eight dishes, and the table was almost full, but there didn't seem to be anything special about it......

The man in white smiled and knocked on the top of her head again, "Do you just count things?" I also saw seven or eight dishes on the table, but what I want you to see is how these seven or eight dishes are arranged. ”

Hui'er felt that he was hitting harder than Fang this time, and couldn't help but snort lightly twice, but she really couldn't see the doorway where the dishes were placed, so she shook her head a few times in anger.

The man in white sighed and said, "The dishes on that table are both meat and vegetarian, but almost all the meat dishes are placed on the fat man's side, and the thin man only has two cold dishes on his side.

And at this moment, the conversation in the hall was quieter, and the conversation between the fat and thin two happened to be heard by the boy in white and Hui'er-

"Dagui, you have been working in my workshop for more than five years, have you and I treated you badly?"

It was the thin man talking, and as he spoke, he put a large piece of fat in the fat man's bowl.

The fat man rubbed his hands tightly, and a few fine sweats broke out on his head.

"For so many years, how kind the lord and lady have been to us long-term workers, there is nothing I don't know...... Just ......"

"Eh, my kindness to you is my duty as a proprietor, but it is also your blessing, do you say so?"

"Yes, yes...... We are grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts......"

"Okay, my Wang also knows that you have a loyal character that will repay your kindness, so I came to call you out. I've also been talking for a long time, you know what to do, and it's all at this juncture, seeing that people are coming, even if you don't care about the twenty yuan, even if it's just for the sake of my kindness to you over the years, you have to deal with it, otherwise you should teach me and my wife how chilling, don't you say?"

......

The latter words are not true, but only these few sentences can confirm that the analysis of the young man in white should be correct.

After hearing these words, the man in white smiled and groaned, so happy, and looked at Hui'er sitting opposite meaningfully.

Hui'er was stared at by him for a while, her face was a little embarrassed, and she pointed to a corner of the lobby unconvinced, and said, "Childe, can you guess what that person does?"

The man in white looked at the man sitting in the corner, and the joy on his face suddenly faded most, replaced by a trace of hesitation......
