Chapter 239: Laying the foundation for the final puzzle



After Feng Qing came back from the restroom, she was going to see how Xiaobai and the others were doing.

As soon as she got there, she saw a big box next to Xiaobai and the big hero, which contained various prizes.

Yes, Feng Qing's eyes lit up instantly.

She likes such smart and brave guys, not only with such a great figure, but also with a good brain. What should she do if she is too moved?

Shopkeeper Feng was a little distracted here, but on the other side, in the frontal perspective that Feng Qing could not see, Su Dongqing was staring at the lantern in a daze.

The real situation may be a little different from what Shopkeeper Feng thought.

——Su Dongqing has been in a daze since the beginning.

The child next to him is guessing the lantern riddle at a very fast speed.

"How long ago did the inn establish the rule that no fighting is allowed?"

Su Dongqing was about to say something when the child next to him beat him to it, "Ah, five months ago, around three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Where does the owner of the Wuming Inn usually hang out?"

"In..."

"In a secret little room on the second floor, and she will bring her wine upstairs."

"How many bottles of wine does the owner drink on average every day?"

"Hey, isn't this question too tricky?" Su Dongqing looked at the boss and said a little depressed.

He said, "Even if I admire that shopkeeper very much, I can't possibly know how many bottles of wine she drinks every day..."

However, before Su Dongqing finished speaking, a voice of serious thinking came from the side.

"At least one bottle every two days, depending on my mood. Sometimes I drink more when I'm in a good mood, and sometimes I drink less when I'm in a bad mood."

Su Dongqing turned his head abruptly and looked at the child next to him.

Hey, that's a bit too much. This kid is not even as tall as a big wine jar, why can he count so clearly?

Throughout the whole process, Su Dongqing felt that he was just here to get soy sauce.

Several times, he opened his mouth to say something, but every time he wanted to say something, he was suppressed by the child next to him.

The child next to him was simply guessing one lantern riddle after another in a way that was completely inconsistent with his age.

Some of the puzzles seemed a bit too much to Su Dongqing, the kind that required spies to be placed near the inn to know the answers, but the child next to him answered them fluently.

He even suspected that the child was an intelligence spy placed near the inn, but then he thought about it and felt that something was not right. After all, they would not send such a big child to be a spy.

Besides, didn't the girl just entrust the child to him before she left? Why did it suddenly become like this?

"The last riddle." The boss in front of him looked at the riddle on the lantern, smiled and said to the two people in front of him, "This little brother is really amazing, he answered all the questions, I have to ask some more difficult questions."

"Where is the place with the most deaths in the Nameless Inn?"

"Ah, this, I know this!"

Su Dongqing, who had been suppressed for a long time and couldn't speak for a long time, was finally excited.

After he was excited, he turned his head and looked at the child next to him, and found that he was stuck, and seemed to be thinking seriously with his head down.

"It's in the lobby, they died some time ago, more than 20 people died in a row." Su Dongqing said excitedly.

He was so excited that he finally got a chance.

The child next to him muttered, "Is that so?" The people behind him looked at each other and whispered, "Is that so?"

When the store manager was about to say something, he suddenly heard a woman's voice behind him, "I don't think so."

A person slowly walked over. It was the pretty woman who had just left.

Seeing her coming, Su Dongqing felt a sense of pressure for no reason. It was not because this woman was so scary, but because the pressure from the child next to him was too strong.

At first, Su Dongqing thought that the people next to him knew nothing about the underworld, but now he was not sure, and even guessed what kind of identity the woman who brought such a child out shopping would have.

Could it be an elder from a certain sect who led his disciples down the mountain to play?

What sect would have such a young female elder? Emei Sect?

Just as Su Dongqing tried to find the rope in the woman's hand, the woman had already walked to their side, and then slowly stood beside the child, "I remember it seemed to be in a room on the second floor of the guest house..."

"Yes, it should be that place." The woman looked at the sky, as if she was recalling seriously, "The room is small, it should be not far from the shopkeeper's bedroom."

Su Dongqing's heart suddenly lifted.

The woman's answer now was more detailed, and now he was more certain of his guess that the woman came from a big sect.

Because only people from a big sect would know so much useless information.

Just when Su Dongqing thought that he was going to be shaved bald this time, the store manager smiled and shook his head after hearing the answer, and then said:

"I'm so sorry, customer, you guessed the lantern riddle wrong."

"Really?" The woman shook her head.

The store manager turned to Su Dongqing and said with a smile, "Your answer is correct. The place with the most deaths in the inn is exactly in the lobby. It happened a few days ago and the news spread all over the world."

Su Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief.

After answering for so long, he finally answered one. Although he is not the kind of person who cares about face, his desire to win or lose is aroused for some reason.

Maybe it's because he doesn't want to lose in front of this kid.

But I didn't expect that the questions answered by the adults in this group of people were not as good as those answered by the children. Su Dongqing turned around and looked at the child next to him, thinking, could it be that I guessed wrong?

This child is the only one in this group who is good. It seems that this child has the potential to be a spy. It's a pity that he doesn't learn martial arts.

The woman behind him seemed a little annoyed, and her tone was a little melancholy, "Oh, I guessed wrong, what a pity..."

"My brain has been getting worse and worse recently... I probably won't be able to remember some trivial things forever."

The child next to her turned his eyes away subtly after the woman said this.

The guys behind her also coughed or looked up at the sky.

"It's a pity that you haven't guessed these lantern riddles." The store manager looked at the woman and suddenly laughed again, "I have a lot of gifts here, I think you will like them, especially a very special thing, which is very suitable for a beautiful person like you."

"Really?" The woman seemed to be interested in this sentence, she said happily, "What is it? Let me see."

Su Dongqing originally wanted to take the prize and leave. He didn't want to stay here because the child next to him made him feel weird. He always felt that the child might make a fool of himself at any time.

But when he heard the store manager say this, he also became interested and turned to look at the store manager.

The store manager took out a box from the side.

The box was carefully packed, and the material looked very expensive. It was definitely not an ordinary box.

To be honest, when Su Dongqing saw the box for the first time, he realized that the prize inside was absolutely extraordinary.

Generally speaking, shops like this kind of lantern guessing riddle will not take out anything too expensive, but if the shop wants to make a more powerful gimmick, then it may take out some "treasures of the store".

The box in front of him looked like it had the potential to be a "treasure of the store".

Unexpectedly, his luck was not bad today, and Su Dongqing was a little excited.

Although he was a disciple of a sect, to be honest, he was also very poor. Nowadays, all the really rich disciples went to the big sects. Who would still stay in the small sects?

However, after opening the box, Su Dongqing was greatly disappointed.

- In the box, there was actually a withered dried flower.

Su Dongqing couldn't even tell the type of the flower clearly.

You know, he learned to distinguish herbs in the sect. It takes him no more than a second to recognize ordinary plants. It can be seen how dried this flower is. There

is a rope tied behind the flower, like a hair tie. If Su Dongqing remembered correctly, it seems that some women in Jiangnan like to dress like this.

Whenever the flowers are in full bloom, they will cut the pretty flowers and then tie them together with ribbons, so that it becomes a hairpin and pins it on the head, which is very interesting.

He glanced at the shopkeeper, thinking that he was playing a prank, but he saw that his eyes were fixed on the woman opposite.

The shopkeeper still said with that slightly flattering smile, "I wonder if you can solve this puzzle?"

Su Dongqing felt that the woman's brows suddenly wrinkled.

Especially suddenly.

She turned her eyes for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.

The child next to her also frowned. Although the other people behind her did not speak, the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

After a while, Su Dongqing suddenly saw the woman take out a black plate from her arms.

It was impossible to tell what material it was made of. The surface was very smooth, as if it was often held in the palm of her hand.

She lowered her head and stroked the plate for a long time, and then suddenly whispered, "So that's it."

"It's snow willow..."

Snow willow? Su Dongqing looked at the box in surprise. It turned out that the flower was actually snow willow?

He looked at the woman in surprise again.

This thing, even if you call a god, it may not be able to recognize it. How could the other party know at a glance that it was snow willow?

Feng Qing frowned and looked at the conclusion he came to after searching Baidu pictures, shaking people on the plant forum, and madly knocking on a Tibetan fox - the dried flower in front of him was snow willow.

The most common flower near their inn.

What's going on? Snow willow flower is still pretending to be so serious?

Bai was excited. She pretended to be so serious. She thought it was some magical herb in a martial arts novel that made the power of martial arts explode for 30 years.
