Chapter 238: Guess the Lantern Riddle



Paranoia is a very scary disease, which manifests itself as groundless suspicion and spending a lot of time and money on things that seem inexplicable to others.

When Feng Qing was strolling on the flower boat with lanterns and skewers, she was wondering if she was a little too neurotic.

She actually put on some makeup when she went out today, and her appearance was a little different from usual.

Because she pinned up the bangs on her head, revealing her forehead that hadn't seen the sun for several years.

When the waiters came out, they were all shocked by her appearance.

"Are you going out to play? I want to take some special photos...just to leave a special impression, so I changed to a different style." Feng Qing said. "

Leave a special impression?" The waiters in the inn still found it a little incredible.

"Shopkeeper, you look so beautiful like this." An Huo circled around Feng Qing, observing her face carefully.

"Really." Sai Xingxing whispered to herself, "Not as tough as I thought, and even looks quite gentle..."

Hey, Feng Qing felt a little unhappy when she heard this.

What does it mean? Shouldn't she look gentle?

Sai Xingxing, she never says anything nice.

"Pretty, pretty." Chu Xiaobai jumped over, "Shopkeeper, you are really pretty."

Only Feng Qing knew that she changed her makeup to a different look than usual because she wanted to see if the camera would capture something different.

In fact, she also felt that she was thinking too much at the moment. At this moment, she felt the same as when she was in the second grade of junior high school and was worried about the nuclear bomb that would explode on her every day.

In her mother's words, if you want to think about these nonsense, why don't you think about washing your clothes first.

However, Feng Qing still wondered, if she changed a different makeup and went out, would the camera capture something different from usual?

When the lanterns all over the mountains and fields shone around her, Feng Qing felt warm on her face, and the messy thoughts in her mind also dissipated a lot.

She turned around and looked at her group of friends. Xiaobai jumped high to get the highest lantern above his head, and several adults were walking and chatting.

The light from the lantern shone on their bodies, and the prints on them slowly moved on their bodies as the lantern rotated, like a gorgeous kaleidoscope.

For a moment, Feng Qing suddenly had a doubt.

Are these guys of his too good-looking?

As soon as this idea popped up in her mind, she suddenly heard Xiaobai shouting over there, "Hey, there are actually lantern riddles on these lanterns!"

"Really." Feng Xiruo leaned over to take a look, "Why are there such things? Are they left over from the Lantern Festival?"

"Is this the lantern riddle?" An Huoshaxi leaned over curiously and said, "Let me see what's on it."

"Do you want to guess lantern riddles?" When several people were talking, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

Feng Qing looked over while chewing on a skewer of meat, and just happened to see a shop owner who looked a little short, rubbing his hands and asking them with a smile.

"What lantern riddles do you have?" Feng Xiruo asked curiously.

"Ten cents per time, and there are prizes if you guess correctly." The boss pointed to the pile of things behind him, and everyone turned around to see that there were quite a few good things.

"Then let's play." Feng Qing happened to be free, so he quietly took out a handful of change from his purse and handed it over, "What are the lantern riddles you have? Are there any good ones?"

"Yes." The boss said, "Our lantern riddles are not too difficult, they are all related to some things in the martial arts world."

"Related to the martial arts world..." Feng Qing turned around and looked around. Indeed, many of the lanterns were related to the great heroes in the martial arts world.

For example, which great hero in the martial arts world has the best light kung fu, which great hero dueled with someone in which year, Feng Qing listened to the storyteller's books every day, and actually knew a little about them.

However, Feng Qing is not a local after all, and has never stepped into the martial arts world. There are many things that she does not understand very well, so she does not know if she can guess correctly.

As for her group of partners... Feng Qing looked at the big guys behind her with a twitch in her mouth.

- A little brat, a big brat, an honest man, and a not very smart guy.

They are probably not as good as Feng Qing. Feng Qing usually does not see them like listening to books or watching things related to the martial arts.

She looked down at Xiaobai again. Xiaobai's eyes were shining, and he tried his best to hint at her.

This money is probably 100% wasted, right? But if Xiaobai really wants to play, then it is not impossible to spend some money.

Just when Feng Qing was thinking about whether to spend this wasted money, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Are there any lantern riddles about the innkeeper recently?"

The innkeeper? Feng Qing was slightly stunned.

Are you talking about the biggest thigh recently?

When someone interrupted in the middle of the conversation, it was easy to attract attention, and everyone looked over there.

Feng Qing turned his head and suddenly saw a young man walking over.

When the young man walked over, to say something a bit earthy, Feng Qing felt that the lanterns around seemed to be dimmed in an instant.

The young man was not very old, maybe only about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he already looked heroic.

"Yes." The boss was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "Quite a lot."

"Then let me guess hers." The man from the martial arts world walked over with a smile, and then stood beside the crowd.

As soon as he stood over here, Feng Qing could hear his heart beating.

What a handsome young man.

——High nose and deep eyes, dignified appearance, and a sharp long sword on his back, Feng Qing's heart was immediately touched.

Hiss.

Feng Qing did not forget to slightly adjust the angle of the camera on his body while watching, completely forgetting what he took out this camera for.

This handsome guy needs to be photographed more, otherwise it will be a pity if he doesn't take a picture later.

Although Feng Qing has always had bad luck in meeting handsome men and heroes, she still occasionally meets a few top-notch ones, such as the man in front of her.

What is the identity of this hero? He doesn't look like a small fish, right?

When she was thinking, she accidentally looked at the young hero.

At one glance, Feng Qing felt that she was attracted to him.

"This young hero." The boss laughed, "Do you want to guess the lantern riddle too?"

"It just so happens that I have been collecting information about the inn owner recently. I know a little about her." The young hero smiled, but what he said was very humble.

"You are too kind. Judging from your appearance, you must be someone who knows a lot about the world." The boss said with a smile.

"No, I just know the shopkeeper better." The young hero said, "Maybe it's because... I have always admired the shopkeeper."

Feng Qing, who had just stared at the handsome guy, suddenly brightened up. She pushed the handsome guy. Xiaobai, who was standing next to her, finally responded after being poked by her. Feng Qing whispered in Xiaobai's ear, "Follow this young hero and guess the lantern riddle with him."

"Huh?" Xiaobai's face became very strange at that moment.

"What?" Feng Qing looked at Xiaobai's stupid look and felt a little disappointed.

When playing games, it is important to be led by the boss, but Xiaobai doesn't even understand this principle.

The big brother in front of him is the kind of person who knows everything about the world, and he will definitely not suffer any loss if he follows him to guess.

"Here's the money. You and the others guess first. I'm going to go out for a walk." Feng Qing untied the purse on her body and threw it to Xiaobai.

She needed to take care of something urgent.

Feng Qing didn't see the slightly hesitant expression on Xiaobai's face after he took the purse she handed over, but he still stood behind the hero.

...

Su Dongqing went out to play with some people from his sect today.

There have been too many things happening in the martial arts world recently, and he rarely has the opportunity to go out like now.

However, the Jiangnan area is relatively peaceful, thanks to the help of the innkeeper.

He was very grateful to the innkeeper in his heart, even though some people in their sect didn't like her very much.

Su Dongqing casually wandered onto a flower boat, and then turned around and saw a group of people who seemed to be out for fun. There was a girl in the group, who looked pretty, but she was holding a very large skewer of meat in her hand, which looked very conspicuous.

Many people around were looking at the girl openly or secretly, but she seemed to be unaware of it. This strong psychological quality made Su Dongqing silently give her a thumbs up.

However, it can be seen that this girl is definitely not a gangster.

Because a gangster would definitely notice something if he was stared at by so many eyes, and he would not be so calm.

When the girl left temporarily just now, Su Dongqing naturally heard what she said to the child beside her.

After hearing this, he may have smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

There's nothing wrong with rubbing against him from behind and letting the kid get some prizes. At most, he will give the boss more money in the end.

But this kid is really cute. Su Dongqing smiled and teased him when he passed by.

"Do you like the people in the Nameless Inn too? I have a younger brother who is about your age. He likes Li Guxing there very much. Do you like him too?"

He just finished speaking when he saw a very disgusted expression on the face of the child opposite him, "How is that possible? Who do you hate?"

Su Dongqing couldn't help laughing and shaking his head when he heard the child's answer.

He doesn't even know Li Guxing. That's right. Children of this age are probably playing crazy outside every day.

Su Dongqing looked at the riddle on the lantern in front of him. The first question he asked was what kind of wine the owner of the Wuming Inn liked to drink the most.

He frowned slightly.

Huh?

These riddles look quite difficult.

He didn't see that when the riddle was revealed, the child next to him suddenly became serious.
