The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Chapter 193 [Shangyuan Lantern Chapter 04]

Xiao Lou was holding two lanterns in his hand, waiting for Yu Hanjiang to fetch them.

Unexpectedly, there were four people waiting this time.

Yu Hanjiang, Shao Qingge, Mo Xuemin, Long Sen—the four "courier boys" lined up and waited to "get the goods".

Xiao Lou felt sorry for Yu Hanjiang who was sweating profusely from running, so he gave the lantern to Long Sen, who looked the most relaxed, and said, "It's troublesome."

Long Sen joked: "You're welcome, I'll deliver it right away, Madam, please give me a five-star review!"

Xiao Lou: "..."

Do you really think of yourself as a courier?

After Long Sen left, Xiao Lou went to the booth next to him and picked up a lantern with a puzzle that he had discovered a long time ago.

He was idle and bored just now, so he walked along this street and found all the lantern riddle stalls on the street.

What I got this time was still a graphic lantern riddle, with a green leaf drawn on the first side and beautiful eyes drawn on the back, this lantern was just a gift, Xiao Loudao; "A leaf blinds the eyes."

This question is indeed very simple, and everyone standing next to it can understand it.

There is also a red palace lantern hanging next to it, with four sides, three chopsticks are painted on the first side, a sun is painted on the second side, four chopsticks are on the third side, and the moon is on the last side.

The teammates are wondering what is the connection between chopsticks and the sun and the moon...

In the end, I heard Xiao Lou say: "Come and go."

Teammates: "..."

I see!Chopsticks only represent numbers, and the sun and moon represent morning and evening respectively.

Seeing Xiao Lou taking the lantern from the boss with a smile, the corners of Shao Qingge's mouth couldn't help twitching—Old Mo was right, four couriers can keep up with Xiao Lou's speed when they serve together.

The owner of the stall next to him smiled and said, "Master Yu is going to the lantern festival with his wife today, is he trying to win all the lanterns on the street?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "My wife likes guessing lantern riddles very much. He can win as much as he wants."

This boast made the stall owners dumbfounded—you can win as much as you want, is your wife so awesome?

The stall owners around didn't believe in evil, so they asked Mrs. Yu to guess.

Xiao Lou was not polite to them either, he went from stall to stall, taking out all lantern riddles and guessing them.

The next lantern riddle I got was a little more difficult.

There are a total of six sides of the palace lantern, and each side has a word written on it, which are "crazy", "epilepsy", "itch", "an", "pain", and "ran". Xiao Lou tilted his head and thought carefully, except for An and Ran, Others are diseases, he smiled and said: "It's safe and sound."

The stall owner praised: "Madam is amazing, why don't you guess another one?"

The lantern riddle this time is also a figure. It is a palace lantern with eight faces. From left to right, two butterflies, three leaves, four bugs, five sheep, six cows, seven women, eight There are only flying birds and nine little white rabbits.

Xiao Lou spun the lantern carefully, and guessed after reading it: "Lack of clothes and food?"

The stall owner couldn't help feeling: "Madam is really amazing!"

Shao Qingge only reacted when he heard Xiao Lou's answer every time. This is a number from "two" to "nine". If "one" is missing and "ten" is missing, isn't the homonym for "lack of food and clothing"? ?Xiao Lou is really 666666, he wants to make a six-sided lantern for Xiao Lou, with a six written on each side!

Shao Qingge and Mo Xuemin looked at each other, each took two lanterns from Xiao Lou, and quickly went to hang them on the lantern tree.

On the way back, everyone met Yu Hanjiang carrying a lantern—obviously, on the way to hang the lanterns, Xiao Lou guessed two more correctly—this is the speed of a bulldozer, is it going to flatten the entire lantern market? !

Xiao Lou told everyone with practical actions-what is "crushing puzzle solving".

The lantern riddles on this street are all graphics. Xiao Lou swept all the lantern riddle stalls, and four teammates helped him hang the lanterns. In a blink of an eye, he won all the lantern riddles on the street. Tourists around came to watch and found Mrs. Yu has been guessing lantern riddles. Not only did Mr. Yu run errands to hang the lanterns for Mrs. Mo himself, but he also called Master Mo, Long Huwei and a rich man to help.

The tourists who originally planned to join in the fun and guess lantern riddles, saw Xiao Lou consciously avoiding it, as if seeing a boss walking sideways.

After guessing the lantern riddles on West Street, Xiao Lou moved to East Street.

Most of the lantern riddles on this street are anagrams, and the answer must be written with a brush to be considered correct. Xiao Lou is best at guessing anagrams. When he saw the riddle "Green grass grows in the field after the rain", he immediately took up a pen and wrote it. Said: "Lei."

"There are mountains on all sides, and the mountains and mountains are connected" - Tian.

"There is no first day in the first month" - Ken.

"This character is extraordinary with only four strokes. There is no horizontal, straight, or curved lines. When the emperor sees it, he will get up, and the saint will salute when he sees it." The teammates are all thinking-what is the word that even the emperor has to get up when he sees it?

Xiao Lou picked up a pen and wrote: "Father."

Everyone: "..."

Let's give up thinking and just be a courier!Tired of using your brain?Just leave it to Professor Xiao.

Four courier teammates followed behind Xiao Lou and lined up to help Xiao Lou get the lantern.

Xiao Lou not only guessed the riddles quickly, but also wrote extremely correct and timeless calligraphy with a brush. The stall owners willingly handed over the lanterns to him, and did not forget to praise: "Madam is amazing!"

There were also passers-by who were watching: "No wonder Mrs. Yu is so infatuated with Madam. She has never taken a concubine for so many years. It turns out that Madam can not only conduct autopsies to solve cases, but also write poems and songs!" "Madam is beautiful and talented. I don’t want to take a concubine when I marry a wife like this.” “Oh, Mr. Yu is really lucky!” “My wife is also very lucky, haven’t you seen Mr. Yu put down his airs and run errands to help hang the lanterns himself!”

Yu Hanjiang could hear the voices of people around him talking.

He thought to himself that it was indeed a blessing to be with Xiao Lou, and he would not let anyone snatch this lady away.

***

When Xiao Lou swept the Lantern City, Ye Qi, Liu Qiao and Qu Wanyue were also working hard.

In fact, Ye Qi is also very smart. He has guessed all the lantern riddles in half a street. When he finds the lantern riddles and reads the questions, he needs about 10 seconds to think before he can give the answer. This is the smartest among normal people. human speed.He is already considered excellent, but compared to Xiao Lou, the "big devil", he is still a lot worse.

Qu Wanyue's street is full of lantern riddles with verses corresponding to idioms, such as "When will the bright moon shine on me?" Although he is a dance teacher, he is also very interested in these poems. After drawing inferences from one instance, he can guess quickly.

But guessing idioms is more difficult than guessing characters. After all, the idioms she has learned are limited. In the year of the college entrance examination, she had the most abundant idiom vocabulary. After graduating from high school, many idioms will gradually be forgotten. She has to think about each question before giving it. The answer is that the speed is slightly slower than Ye Qi.

Liu Qiao's speed is about the same as Ye Qi's, except that most of her street lantern riddles are pictographs, similar to "geese chasing boats". It is actually quite difficult to convert the pictures into Chinese characters in her head. think carefully.

Time gradually passed.

As Liu Qiao guessed at first, when Xiao Lou finished guessing the lantern riddles of two streets, they hadn't finished one street yet.

There are a total of five streets of lantern riddles in the lantern market of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and it will be closed at 24:[-] in the morning. The three of them realized that the time was getting tighter, so they went to Xiao Lou for help.

Ye Qi hurriedly ran over to find Xiao Lou, and said: "There is not much time left. I have encountered some puzzles that I can't guess, so I put them away first. I might as well teach Xiao..." Sensing that there are people around, Ye Qi Immediately changed his words: "Madam Yu, let's guess!"

Liu Qiao also said, "I haven't guessed a few lantern riddles, Madam, go and have a look."

Qu Wanyue smiled and said, "Why don't you all find the riddles on the lanterns, and Madam will answer them, there is only one stick of incense left."

The three of them have tried their best, and each of them got 20-30 lanterns, leaving the difficult questions to Xiao Lou. If Xiao Lou is fast enough, he may be able to guess all the lantern riddles in the entire lantern market , which is indeed a sensible approach.

The trust of his teammates warmed Xiao Lou's heart, and he said, "Okay, I will try my best, hurry up."

Ye Qi first took Xiao Lou to the street where he was: "I didn't guess this one--mystery 'one side is red, the other side is green, one side is happy with wind, and the other side is happy with rain', what is the answer to the riddle?"

This question is not easy, Xiao Lou rarely frowned and thought about it, but he quickly gave the answer: "Qiu."

Ye Qi thought about it carefully - the word "autumn" was split into two halves, grass is green, fire is red, grass likes rain, fire likes wind, it really is the answer!He couldn't help giving Xiao Lou a thumbs up, and quickly picked up a pen to write the word "Autumn". Although his handwriting was crooked and not as beautiful as Xiao Lou's, but the answer was correct, and the boss immediately gave him the lantern .

Ye Qi continued to pull Xiao Lou to help: "Where is Madam going?"

Xiao Lou was startled: "What?"

Ye Qi said: "I didn't ask you where you were going, the riddle of this lantern is this sentence - where is Madam?"

Xiao Lou came to his senses, stretched out the fingers of his right hand, wrote on the palm of his left hand, and said, "Two."

Ye Qi followed suit, and finally understood what was going on—where is Madam going? It means that the character "人" in the word "husband" is missing, and what's left is "two"?

Ye Qi felt that he was quite second, why didn't he think of it?

The surrounding teammates collectively had a headache and raised their foreheads—these weird lantern riddles, some looked at shapes, some guessed poems, and some tested logical reasoning. It was thanks to Xiao Lou that he could think of the answer so quickly.

After helping Ye Qi guess the lantern riddles in this street, everyone came to Liuqiao Street again.

Liu Qiao also left the more difficult ones to Xiao Lou: "This guest came with bad intentions."

Xiao Lou thought for a while, took up a pen and wrote: "Funeral."

Liu Qiao continued to ask: "Golden wood, water and fire?"

Shao Qingge interjected: "Is it soil?" Liu Qiao said: "I guess the soil is wrong."

Xiao Lou smiled slightly and explained: "Lack of soil should be the word 'kan'."

Shao Qingge; "..."

He should still be a courier.

Xiao Lou also helped Qu Wanyue solve a few difficulties, and his teammates quickly hung the batch of lanterns on the tree outside the stone bridge.

At this time, the entire tree outside the stone bridge was densely hung with lanterns, adding up to hundreds of them, and the ten-meter-high lantern tree was decorated with various lanterns in a magnificent manner, and the surrounding area was illuminated by warm light. as day.

With the bright moon hanging high and the trees full of lanterns, everyone was so shocked by the grand scene that they were speechless.

It's midnight, and the city of lights is over.

Just when everyone thought that the floating box would pop up a clearance prompt, fireworks were suddenly set off around.

Countless bright fireworks rose into the sky, and the cheers of tourists sounded in my ears, and many tourists gathered around.

Although the ancient fireworks are not as varied as modern ones, the red fireworks that bloom illuminate the night sky and shine on the faces of tourists. Under the tree full of lanterns, countless tourists put their hands together and watch the fireworks while surrounding the tree of lights. make a wish.

This warm scene is unforgettable for Yu Hanjiang forever.

It turned out that the gatekeepers of the square piece asked them to hang the lanterns on the trees for the fireworks at this time.

Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the fireworks of the Yunxiao Festival, and the "lantern tree" full of lanterns are also a kind of spiritual sustenance for the ancient people. Everyone is surrounding the lantern tree and making wishes for the next year. .Or praying for good weather, or for the prosperity of the country and the people, or for the longevity of the parents, the health of the wives and children... The expressions on everyone's faces are very pious.

The lights and fireworks shone on the faces of the people, and everyone was happy. The children jumped up excitedly, the young couples snuggled together and looked up at the fireworks, and the old people also had kind smiles on their faces.

This peaceful and prosperous world was obtained after they cleared the 8 secret room of hearts.

Yu Hanjiang turned his head and met Shang Xiaolou's clear eyes.

Xiao Lou was originally fair-skinned, but when he was illuminated by the fireworks, his face seemed to be dyed with a layer of red light, which was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Yu Hanjiang walked over, put his arms around his shoulders lightly, and said softly: "It turns out that Daqi's Shangyuan Lantern Festival has this tradition of wishing. Does Madam have any wishes? Why don't we also go to the countryside and do as the Romans do, and make a wish under this lantern tree?" wish?"

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Okay."

He raised his head, looked at the lantern tree covered with lanterns, and silently made a wish in his heart.

I hope everyone can get out of the card world smoothly, and I hope that after returning to reality, he can still be with Yu Hanjiang... If possible, he will apply to be transferred to the criminal police team in Jiangzhou City as a forensic doctor, and he will always be with Police Officer Yu from now on. around.

The sound of fireworks blooming, and his "thumping" heartbeat.Xiao Lou didn't dare to look at the people beside him, so he could only keep looking up at the night sky.Those fireworks are so beautiful... this is the most fun Lantern Festival he has ever had.

What he didn't know was that the man beside him had been watching his side face tenderly.

Yu Hanjiang also made a wish——

If I can return to reality, I just want to be a real husband and wife with you, a husband and wife for a lifetime.
