Chapter 9: Two and a Half Men
As soon as the little demon question was raised, everyone was stunned, and they didn't understand why they would ask such a question that people couldn't answer at all!
As the person being asked, the old beggar was naturally the first to jump out and ask: "Hey, little girl, the world is so big, there are hundreds of millions of people in the world, you ask the old beggar how many people are in this world, how can the old beggar count them? You are deliberately making things difficult!"
The little demon was neither angry nor annoyed in the face of the old beggar's questioning, and there was a cute smile on her little face, which really made people angry and couldn't bear to send it at her. I only listened to her unhurriedly explain: "Grandpa beggar, the demon is not trying to make things difficult for you! This question naturally has an answer!" Then he smiled slyly and deliberately stimulated: "Could it be that Grandpa Beggar can't answer, so he deliberately said this! If that's the case, then the demon has no choice but to say the answer, so that you can be convinced, and see if the demon is making things difficult!" Then he paused, deliberately cleared his throat, and continued: "This answer is ......"
"Stop, little girl, don't say the answer!" the old beggar hurriedly stopped, and then immediately explained in the face of the little demon's puzzled expression: "Look, the old beggar didn't say that he wouldn't answer, did he? This question is indeed a bit difficult, and the old beggar must be allowed to think about it! I don't admit that I can't answer, right!"
The little demon demon saw that the old beggar was deceived by himself, and he smiled happily in his heart, but he couldn't see any trace on his face, he had such a city at a young age, and he was really an out-and-out demon! When she grew up, she couldn't turn the world upside down? I saw her have an innocent expression, tilted her head to make a thinking look, and said while thinking: "It seems like this!"
The old beggar saw that this difficult girl seemed to be moved by what he said, and immediately guided while the iron was hot: "So, it's not that the old beggar grandpa can't answer, you have to give me a little time to think!" Look at his worried expression, as if he was afraid that the little demon would give birth to some variables.
"Okay then, Grandpa Beggar, then the demon will give you time to think!" The little demon generously agreed to the old beggar's request, but after a moment of conversation, he said: "Grandpa Beggar shouldn't take a long time! If Grandpa Beggar doesn't say a deadline, then can't it be postponed indefinitely?
"Uh......" The old beggar was speechless. I didn't expect this ghost girl to be so smart that she actually saw through his plan. He originally really planned to do so, as long as it dragged on like this, with her child's heart, she was afraid that she would forget about it in the blink of an eye, and when the time came, he not only saved his face now, but also adhered to his code of conduct that is true to his word and has a beginning and an end. Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!
It's a pity that he underestimated the mind of the little demon, and even misestimated the temperament of the little demon, I don't know what kind of amazing memory and resilience this little girl about five years old in front of him has. Otherwise, I would never have done such a clever thing as I am now.
After a while, the old beggar said in embarrassment: "How could it be! The old beggar acted in a fair and upright manner, how could he do such a disdainful thing! In this way, leave the old beggar a cup of tea, if after the tea, the old beggar still doesn't come up with an answer, even if the old beggar loses, what?"
The little demon nodded and smiled, "Okay." Beggar grandpa. I readily agreed. After finishing speaking, he stopped paying attention to the old beggar and let him think quietly there, while he happily ran back to Mo Xingheng's side and began to talk non-stop. Even the biological parents on one side were left to the side.
Yun Ren and his wife looked at each other and smiled, only to hear Yun Ren whisper: "Madam, look at this girl, she is so good at such a young age, she actually made me at a loss, I don't know what it will look like when I grow up!" He said this with both pride and helplessness, as well as uncontrollable worry. The mood can be described as mixed and complex!
Fang Shuying is not as complicated as her husband thinks, she is a straightforward, competitive and proud woman, her daughter can be so smart, she only has joy and pride in her heart, she smiled slightly, and said proudly: "Husband, you just think too much, our daughter is smart and smart, what's wrong." If you grow up like this, you won't be deceived, how can our Shuying's daughter be a vulgar person, just look at it, the demon will definitely become an extraordinary person who moves the world and is famous all over the world in the future!"
"Madam, do you still insist on sending the demon to your master to learn the arts? Why can't you let her be an ordinary woman, why push her to the rivers and lakes full of sinister and murderous fights?" As soon as Yun Ren heard Madame's words, he understood that the other party had not given up the idea of pushing the demon to the rivers and lakes, and he immediately felt distressed in his heart, so he persuaded her bitterly.
For the future growth direction of the demon, the couple who have always worked together have a difference of opinion for the first time, Yunren, who was born in the Shi family, hopes that his baby daughter can be safe and happy, be a rich lady, and find a wishful husband for her in the future, and live a happy life of husband and filial piety, peace and happiness! As a martial arts background, Fang Shuying has always liked the unrestrained, happy life in the rivers and lakes, although she quit the martial arts because she married a woman, but she very much hopes that her only female demon can step into the rivers and lakes, which can be regarded as a continuation of her dream of the rivers and lakes! Naturally, Yun Ren was against it.
Fang Shuying didn't care about Yun Ren's persuasion, and retorted with a rhetorical voice: "Husband, you see, our daughter's personality seems to be able to be a rich lady in peace?
"But in this way, don't you care about the safety of the demon and let her get involved in the disputes of the rivers and lakes to take risks?" Yun Ren said urgently. However, considering the presence of others, the volume of the voice was kept very low.
"The fate of people is sometimes predestined, and it will not be transferred by anyone's will, the demon is destined to belong to the rivers and lakes, which you and I can't stop, rather than being passively involved at that time, it is better to take the initiative to integrate, so as to gain more initiative! Fang Shuying said solemnly.
But this is just some imaginary and invisible speculation, how can it be used as a basis for evidence. She has never been in contact with any martial arts people since she was a child, and you quit the rivers and lakes as early as five years ago, I don't believe that she will be involved in the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes!" Yun Ren argued with reason, insisting that the demon would not be involved in the rights and wrongs of the martial arts.
Fang Shuying sighed slightly, looking a little helpless, but said in a tough tone: "Husband, you are not from the rivers and lakes, you will not understand the truth that once you enter the rivers and lakes, you are as deep as the sea, and then look back on the truth of a hundred years of life." Although the concubine has clearly withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, she has not cut off all contact with the rivers and lakes, and this cannot be separated. Don't say it, if the concubine is in trouble, can I really be indifferent and ignore it? Since the concubine cannot truly be separated from the right and wrong of the rivers and lakes, as my daughter, how can the demon stay out of the matter? Who can guarantee that those petty and shameless people who do not preach morality and have no standards will not cause harm to their families?"
"This ......" Yun Ren was speechless for a moment. Her lady was right, and he had nothing to say. Then he sighed heavily, and stopped talking.
Yun Ren knew that he couldn't say anything about Fang Shuying no matter what, so every time he argued about this matter, the final result ended with him having nothing to say. This time was no exception. So, as usual, he chose to remain silent.
Fang Shuying was also used to this, so she didn't continue to entangle. The two returned to their previous state of silence.
At this time, the time for tea had come, but the old beggar was still thinking about it, obviously he had not yet come up with an answer.
The little demon stopped chatting with Mo Xingheng, jumped up and down in front of the old beggar who was buried in thought, and asked in a childish voice: "Grandpa beggar, have you thought of the answer?
"Ah, is it? so fast!" the old beggar asked the little demon, and his heart immediately tightened, and his expression became very unnatural.
"Not happy, not at all!" the little demon corrected in a coquettish voice, and then looked straight, and asked the old beggar, "Grandpa beggar, have you come up with an answer?"
"Little girl, the old beggar is suddenly hungry, and wants to eat, and will tell you when he is full. The old beggar's head spun rapidly, and he began to think of a way to fool the matter at hand.
"Could it be that the beggar grandfather is so hungry that he doesn't have the strength to speak?" The little demon didn't give up, deliberately pretended to be puzzled and asked the old beggar, and then without waiting for the old beggar to answer, he asked himself and muttered: "But it's not like eh, the beggar grandfather is talking in a loud voice now!"
"Uh! this, this, this!" let the little demon squeeze, the old beggar's old face immediately turned red and full of brilliance, even if the thick-skinned person is afraid that he can't withstand the little girl's scolding and sarcasm.
"Grandpa Beggar. Do you want to play tricks again?" The little demon demon saw that the old beggar had been hesitating, and he was not clear about the old beggar's plans in his heart, so he deliberately asked suspiciously.
"Oh! no way! No way! old beggar......
"Always keep your word, never break your word, right?" but the little demon intercepted the old beggar's words and said what he was going to say later.
"Ah, that's right, little girl!" said the old beggar, smiling dryly.
"In that case, please ask the beggar grandfather to tell the demon the answer!" the little demon demon took advantage of the situation.
"This ......," the old beggar said nothing.
"Could it be that the old beggar grandpa is lying to me?" the little demon pressed forward step by step.
"No, little girl, how could the old beggar lie to you about a child?" the old beggar replied urgently. There was a bitter smile in my heart, hey, the world is really impermanent, I can't think of an old beggar...... will also fall into the situation of being forced into such a field by a five-year-old girl!
Then you can tell the answer. "The little demon smashed the yellow dragon and finally forced the palace.
The old beggar was speechless, silent for a while, and finally made a difficult decision, only to see the old beggar frowning, his eyes were indignant, but he raised his head helplessly and looked at the roof, and was about to open his mouth to admit defeat, when suddenly Mo Xingheng interjected and said: "Grandpa, please speak slowly!"
When the old beggar heard this, he immediately looked at Mo Xingheng, his eyes were both puzzled and annoyed, he didn't know what this kid was going to do?
"Stinky boy, do you want to answer again?" The old beggar was angry in his heart, and his tone of voice was naturally not good.
Mo Xingheng didn't care about this at all, as if he didn't hear the dissatisfaction in the other party's tone, and said in a calm tone: "Don't dare! The old man misunderstood Xingheng." ”
"Then what are you ......?" the old beggar was even more puzzled.
Xingheng just has a question in his heart to ask the old man for advice. Mo Xingheng said respectfully.
"Oh, then you can say it" The old beggar waved his hand and agreed to Mo Xingheng's request. After all, he still likes Mo Xingheng very much, even if he does something that makes him angry, it is impossible for him to really hate him and ignore him.
"Yes, old man. Mo Xingheng bowed respectfully, and then said: "The Book of Changes has clouds, so it is easy to have Taiji, and it is to give birth to two instruments." Xingheng is stupid, I don't understand these two sentences, and I ask the old man to solve his doubts!"
The little demon's eyes lit up when he heard this, but his expression did not change in the slightest. No one else noticed this subtle change, except for Fang Shuying, who happened to be focusing on her daughter at this time. It's just that she doesn't understand what the reason is this. Could it be...... is worthy of the smart thunderbolt fairy of ice and snow, and just a little clue made her figure out the reason. Then he looked at Mo Xingheng with appreciation, and sighed in his heart, this kid is really good! Not only is he smart and kind, but he is also exquisite!
However, the old beggar obviously hadn't understood anything yet, he was just very puzzled, why Mo Xingheng, this kid, suddenly asked him questions at this time. It's just that now is not the time to think about this question, so he temporarily put aside this confusion, bowed his head and muttered slightly, and after organizing the language in his heart, he looked up at Mo Xingheng and replied with a smile: "Actually, these two sentences are not particularly difficult to understand. The so-called Tai Chi is that when heaven and earth are first born, everything is chaos, yin and yang are not distinguished, and there are no five elements, and Liangyi naturally refers to yin and yang.
After being so crazy, the old beggar no longer paid attention to Mo Xingheng's question, but immediately set his eyes on the little demon, and said very proudly: "Little girl, your question, the old beggar thought of the answer, it is two people, a man and a woman, right! Hahaha! This is thanks to the reminder of the stinky boy, otherwise the old beggar would not have thought of this answer anyway! haha" After the old beggar said the answer, his heart was as refreshing as drinking frozen mountain spring water on dog days. Even he has a sense of relief from turning over and being in charge, raising his eyebrows. The first two games were so badly defeated, but this time he finally pulled back a game, so how can he not be angry? How can he not be happy?
The little demon smiled and asked the old beggar, "Grandpa beggar, are you sure this is your answer?"
The old beggar waved his hand and said affirmatively, "The old beggar is sure." Haha, little girl, you can't help but be an old beggar with this question!"
The little demon looked at the proud old beggar, and suddenly there was a little more pity and sympathy in his eyes, "Grandpa beggar, you are happy too early, the answer is not two people, but two and a half people!"
"What? two and a half people, little girl, you must be talking nonsense. How can there be half a person," Hearing this, the smile on the old beggar's face suddenly froze, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to refute, his tone shocked and angry.
"Grandpa beggar, don't be anxious and angry, listen to the demon slowly, and you will understand!" The little demon said in a relaxed tone.
"Hmph, then the old beggar will listen first, what kind of fallacies do you have. The old beggar snorted angrily, he wanted to hear what else this little girl had to say. He didn't think there was a more perfect or ingenious answer than his one.
