138 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” guessing game

The further you walk, it’s like walking into a corridor of lanterns.Each lantern hanging on the stall is as exquisite as a work of art. The goldfish lanterns sway in the wind, and the light and shadow cast a layer of soft light on the ground; lotus flowers bloom, rabbits fly to the moon, and even the colorful lanterns with dancing phoenixes, the colorful light interweaves into a gorgeous galaxy, which makes people dizzy.

One of the stalls filled with all kinds of lanterns was surrounded by crowds. As I approached, I could hear a group of people cheering with interest. Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at the distressed middle-aged man.After a while, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Finally, he sighed heavily and shouted, “I give up!”

The people who had been waiting for a long time suddenly lost interest, and the rustling voice sounded more like a mockery to the man. He quickly pushed the crowd away from the stall.

The stall owner smiled and shouted proudly, “Come on! Come and have a look. As long as you answer all the lantern questions correctly, the most beautiful lantern will be his!”

Yan Zhaozhao looked along the fingertips of the stall owner. It was a lantern with a rabbit flying to the moon. It was carved from colored glass. The light penetrated through layers, reflecting the brilliant colors on the originally white rabbit. The tassels hanging on the edge of the lamp were made of silk and silver intertwined. Under the weak candlelight, they looked like falling stars, bright and dreamy.

Just one glance made Yan Zhaozhao unable to look away.

Xie Ciyan, who had been looking at the woman beside him, knew what she was thinking at a glance. With a smile on his lips, he led her towards the stall.”Boss, how can I win this lantern?”

The stall owner looked the man up and down calmly, and couldn’t help but feel a little more polite when he saw that he was dressed luxuriously.”It’s very simple. As long as you guess all the lantern riddles here correctly, I will give you this lantern!”

Obviously, the boss is extremely confident in the riddles he created. So far, no one has ever won back the lantern in his hand.

“What are you playing for? Do you want to guess lantern riddles?” Huo Sui and Bi Luo, who were following Xie Ciyan, arrived late. They could only vaguely tell that they were going to guess lantern riddles.Seeing that they were in the same group, the boss patiently explained it again. Upon hearing this, Huo Sui raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms, looking at ease.

“To be honest, I… Young Master, I am a good puzzler. At the border, there is simply no puzzle that can stump me.” He touched Xie Ciyan beside him with his elbow, “Do you want me to help you, Master?”

Xie Ciyan glanced at him, then turned back without responding to him at all.Huo Sui’s desire to win was instantly inspired, and he straightened up suddenly, with the energy to compete with him.”Boss, let me guess too.” After saying this, he glanced at Xie Ciyan provocatively, but found that the man didn’t even give him an eye, and all his eyes were glued to the woman beside him.

He gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at Bi Luo, trying to seek approval.”Do you believe I can guess them all?”

Bi Luo was startled, her mother-in-law liked that lantern, and she naturally hoped that the winner would be Xie Ciyan.But Huo Sui looked at her with a pair of eyes full of expectation, but at this moment, his body dominated her reason. He nodded mysteriously and said as if whispering: “Believe it.”

After receiving the recognition, Huo Sui was instantly full of confidence, and even the curve of his mouth had a hint of edge, as if there was nothing in the world that he couldn’t do.”If you really win, I will give you that lantern!”

She panicked. Before she could say her rejection, Huo Sui was already excitedly competing with Xie Ciyan. His hair was fluttering in the wind, and a piece of clothes brushed the back of her hand. But her skin seemed to be electrocuted by something. A numb feeling spread from the back of her hand along the veins to her heart, and became increasingly hot.

“It’s not ventilated on all sides, and it’s bitingly cold inside. It’s a word.”

Huo Sui read out the riddles loudly and confidently, but his hearty voice stopped abruptly after he read the last word.He frowned slightly, biting his lip with his teeth, looking thoughtful.

“It’s a picture.” Xie Ciyan blurted out the answer without giving Huo Sui a chance to think. When he saw a hint of appreciation flash in the stall owner’s eyes when he looked at him, he turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Huo Sui, who was still thinking hard. It was a look of naked provocation.

Huo Sui immediately stopped thinking, coughed slightly, and said bravely: “I know the answer to the riddle is a picture, but you are just a quick talker.”

Having known Huo Sui for many years, Xie Ciyan knew Huo Sui’s temperament and did not refute him. He only turned his attention to the next lantern riddle.Upon seeing this, Huo Sui hurriedly stepped forward and saw the lantern riddle before him.

“One dollar becomes nine dollars, what’s the idiom?”

Huo Sui’s thoughts suddenly flashed and he blurted out: “Torn into pieces!”

The boss smiled and said, “This young man answered correctly.”

This time, Huo Suike was really proud of himself. He puffed up his chest, crossed his arms, and raised his chin in thanks, as if he was a proud man who wanted to be praised.

The two men suddenly looked at each other, and a battle without weapons quietly began.

Not a kite, it cannot fly; not a bird, but it has wings.Hit an item.

“Fan.”

While Huo Suishang was scratching his head and scratching his head in thought, Xie Ciyan’s deep voice sounded slowly from the side. After he leisurely told the answer, he glanced at Huo Suishang, and then turned to look at the next lantern riddle.In just a moment, Xie Ciyan fluently told the riddles on the stall one after another, all the answers blurted out without any thought, as if the riddles in front of him were just appetizers and not very difficult to him.

The people onlookers exclaimed repeatedly, and sometimes some scholars who had also been distressed for a long time suddenly let out a sound of admiration and cast admiring glances at Xie Ciyan.But the originally confident stall owner’s expression turned stiff. The more answers he answered, the darker his face became. He seemed not to believe that the lantern riddles he had carefully designed that had stumped many people were actually answered one by one by the man in front of him who was dressed in luxurious clothes. Now he only needed to answer one more question correctly to take away his valuable lantern.

“On the 15th, type a word.”

As soon as the riddle came out, everyone present was silent for a moment. They all lowered their heads and thought about the answer together, but they couldn’t figure out the reason.

Even Yan Zhaozhao, who has read a lot of poetry and books, frowned because the question was too simple and difficult to understand. There were only three words to guess, and it was hard to think of anything at the moment.

Huo Sui no longer had any hope. He knew none of the previous ones.He was clearly a puzzle king when he was at the border. When he and the soldiers had nothing to do, they would also come up with puzzles and guess pictures for fun. Every time, he was the fastest one to answer. Why is there such a big gap between the questions in Chang’an and the border?!

The hem of his clothes behind him seemed to be gently pulled by someone. Huo Sui turned around and saw Biluo’s white fingertips pinching the hem of his clothes.The black robe he wore today, perhaps because of this, made her fingertips look extremely white. The moment she put them on his clothes, they looked pretty good.

Perhaps because of the crowd, the edges of his ears were slightly hot.Huo Sui moved away from her fingertips with a slightly unnatural look on his face. Bi Luo seemed to be whispering something to him, but there were so many people around him that he couldn’t hear clearly, so he had to bend down and put his ear closer to her.

Huo Sui’s side face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, and her heart suddenly tightened. Her fingertips unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, and her heart beat like a drum, as if it would jump out in the next second.Afraid that he would hear her heartbeat, which was as fast as a galloping horse, she hurriedly raised her hand to cover her heart, as if she could stop it from beating so fast and violently.”W-wouldn’t that… be a fat word?”

The fifteenth day is already half a month, and adding half to the moon is the word “fat”.

Huo Sui suddenly understood, his eyebrows were full of joy, he straightened up and shouted loudly: “It’s a fat word!” After saying that, he did not forget to raise his neck to show his majesty at this moment.Then he looked at the boss who looked even more ugly, with a haughty expression, “Is that right?”

The moment he shouted out the answer, Bi Luo’s mind suddenly became hot.She was just making random guesses. How could he tell everyone the answer without thinking?!What if it’s wrong?

The stall owner gritted his teeth and said, “Yes.” In front of everyone, even if he didn’t want to, the lantern would eventually be given to someone else.He secretly glared at Huo Sui before taking down the hanging Rabbit Flying to the Moon lantern, “Although this young master answered the last riddle correctly, this young master is the one who answered the most correct answers, and this lamp should belong to him.”

While talking, the boss had already handed the lantern to Xie Ciyan.He didn’t hesitate at all and directly took the lantern and put it in Yan Zhaozhao’s hand, “Do you like it?”

Yan Zhaozhao’s face was filled with a joyful smile. She held the exquisite lantern in both hands and looked left and right. It was obvious that she couldn’t put it down.”I like it, I like it very much.” She leaned closer and breathed softly on his neck, “Thank you Ayan.”

Looking at Huo Sui again, the stall owner thought he would see a look of disappointment or unwillingness on his face, but he didn’t have any at all, and he still had that cynical look on his face.

Huo Suita had no interest in the rabbit lantern, but he just wanted to join in the fun.Furthermore, even if the boss does give the lamp to himself, he will transfer it to Xie Ciyan.Even if he really gave it to Bi Luo, I’m afraid the girl would be too frightened to accept it. She was loyal to her master, so how could he take away her favor.

His eyes moved around the stall, then pointed at the lantern in the corner, “Hey boss, how much does that lantern cost? I want it.”

As soon as the boss heard that business was coming to his door, he immediately put on a flattering face and hurriedly brought him the lantern he pointed to.”Two taels of silver, thank you very much, sir.”

After Huo Sui took the lantern, he took out the silver and put it in the boss’s palm.Then he put the lamp into Bi Luo’s hand, “I promised to give it to you and I will not break my promise.” As if he was worried that she would refuse, he hurriedly continued: “Don’t don’t want it, just think of it as a thank you gift for telling me the answer to the riddle just now.”

Bi Luo lowered her eyes and smiled, gently stroking the bamboo handle of the lantern with her fingertips, her movements cautious, as if the lantern in her hand was a rare treasure.She pursed her lips and suppressed her smile, then raised her head and said, “Thank you, General Huo.” Her eyes fell on the lantern again. After thinking about it over and over, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why did the general choose a tiger lantern that was exactly the same as the mask?”

Huo Sui lowered his head and smiled, the corners of his eyes slightly curved, a little lazily and a little casual.”Because I hope that you can live as you please in the future. Compared to a weak rabbit that is not good at attacking, I hope that you are a tiger that can show a pair of sharp claws. Only by being so powerful can you live the way you want.”

He raised the corner of his mouth, and his smile was as warm as the first ray of the rising sun in spring. “Behind you is the queen of a prosperous country. If you remember my words, no one will bully you.”

A long, long time later, whenever Bi Luo thought of Huo Sui, she would remember that night. Under the bright moon, his body was illuminated like stars by the colorful glazed lights of the lanterns. He smiled and said these words to her that she would never forget in her life.

It was also at that moment that she seemed to… fall in love with Huo Sui.

Unknowingly, I wrote a long story about Huo Sui and Bi Luo.

I can kowtow to my head too!

I think the two of them are really good at fighting each other, so I couldn’t help but add some drama to them.

Darlings, do you think the couple’s scenes will be too much?

If you have any opinions, you can tell me~
