Chapter 62: Duan Yu
Huo Tianqing obviously did not want to simply let the old man go and continued to ask questions from the old man.
In this way, Huo Tianqing guessed eight puzzles in a row, and the old man's face began to turn green. Now he has lost eight camellias. If he continues to lose, no matter how many camellias he sells tonight, he may not be able to make up for it.
There’s a hole!
The old man's face began to turn pale, his lips became dry, and he looked heartbroken.
Huo Tianqing smiled secretly in his heart, even if he doesn't want those camellias or scares you, this can be regarded as a small reward for you.
The old man turned around in despair and continued to get the lantern.
At this time, Mu Wanqing, who had already picked the camellias, also came to Huo Tianqing's side.
What she picked was a pot of bright red Zhuangyuanhong, which really complemented her bright red clothes.
As soon as Mu Wanqing arrived in front of Huo Tianqing, she realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere. People around her looked at Huo Tianqing as if they were looking at monsters.
Mu Wanqing looked at the crowd around her and asked Huo Tianqing in a low voice: "Huo Lang, what's going on?"
"Haha, Wanqing, I won several pots of flowers again," Huo Tianqing said proudly.
"Really?" Mu Wanqing asked playfully, full of joy: "I just took a fancy to several pots of camellias, and finally I took this pot of Zhuangyuanhong. I felt sorry for it for a long time. Now it's better. I
Let’s go and choose a few more pots.”
After saying that, Mu Wanqing quickly turned around and left.
Before Huo Tianqing could stop her, she could no longer be seen.
In fact, Huo Tianqing didn't really want those pots of flowers. Although he was a bit crooked, he would never get things done. But he didn't expect Mu Wanqing to have such skills.
Seeing the old man coming with a sad face, Huo Tianqing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. How about giving him some money later?
The old man looked at Huo Tianqing, who had a calm face, and almost burst into tears. This guy was more ruthless than a robbery!
"Sir, this time's lantern riddle can be said to be the most difficult one in my little shop. If you can still do it, come out. I admit defeat, little old man," the old man said with a hint of pain.
"Haha, old man, don't say anything so early," Huo Tianqing said with a smile.
Then, Huo Tianqing looked at the words on the lamp.
"It is difficult to write about the feelings in the heart, so I will stop writing here. Lovers will be in pairs in the future, and loveless people will never meet again. Pomegranates bloom slowly and red, and cold water slowly dissolves sugar. As long as two people's hearts remain unchanged, one day they will be reunited.
Meet again."
Huo Tianqing frowned. This question was indeed difficult, and the old man deliberately didn't give him any hints. He didn't know which way to guess. Damn it, forget it, he just wanted to stop.
Huo Tianqing looked at the old man and said, "Old man, the younger generation is short-witted, but I can't guess this sentence."
The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Huo Tianqing's answer. Damn, this kid is really a beast. He even bullies the elderly!
However, things often develop towards the worst plan in people's minds. This clear voice suddenly shocked the old man.
"Wait a minute, I figured out the riddle." The voice disappeared, and a young man emerged from the crowd.
This young man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like a crown of jade, a moon-white gown, and a folding fan in his hand. He looks like a young man.
"The answer to the riddle is to grow old together, or to be in pairs, right?" the young man said.
"This..." The old man was really tragic, as if he had been hit in the head by lightning. He couldn't recover for a long time. He pointed to the sky and shouted in his heart: "God, are you trying to kill me?"
Huo Tianqing looked at the shiny-faced young man, feeling curious in his heart. Of course, he also had a little admiration. This boy was really talented.
"Haha." The young man looked at the dementia-looking old man happily and said with a happy smile: "I guessed it right, haha."
The smile was heartless, and it was obvious that this was a greenhouse flower that was ignorant of the world.
He was not aware of the despair in the old man's heart and the look of defeat on his face.
Huo Tianqing looked at the jade pendant around the young man's waist and nodded thoughtfully.
The young man seemed to rarely encounter such happy things, and he happily asked the old man for camellias.
The old man smiled bitterly and asked the young man to choose. Then he fell to the ground with a dejected look on his face. It's over, I'm going bankrupt!
Mu Wanqing happily asked the waiters to carry five or six pots of gorgeous camellias and walk towards Huo Tianqing.
Huo Tianqing smiled helplessly, walked up to Mu Wanqing's ear, and whispered a few words.
Mu Wanqing looked at the old man sitting on the ground, a trace of reluctance flashed on her face. She looked at the camellias again, feeling reluctant again, but in the end she nodded towards Huo Tianqing.
After receiving Mu Wanqing's answer, Huo Tianqing walked up to the old man.
"Old man, we can't take these flowers away, so why don't you give us a few seeds?"
"Huh?" The old man looked in disbelief and asked, "Really?"
Huo Tianqing nodded affirmatively.
When the old man saw this, tears instantly filled his eyes. He wiped the corners of his eyes. He stood up, bent down to Huo Tianqing and said, "Thank you, sir."
The young man held a pot of "Peony" in his hand. When he saw what happened here, he was touched in his heart. He looked at the flower pot in his arms. He stepped forward, walked to the old man and handed the flower pot to him.
He went up and said: "Old man, I don't want this potted flower anymore. Give me some seeds instead."
The old man was immediately overwhelmed by the sudden joy. God, I thank you!
After bowing to thank you, the old man took out a few bags of flower seeds from his arms and handed them to Huo Tianqing and the young man. He said, "Thank you two young masters for your generosity. I am very grateful."
Huo Tianqing laughed, turned and left.
The young man gave the old man a student salute and quietly followed Huo Tianqing and the others.
Huo Tianqing curled his lips, it seemed like something was wrong with this boy!
Ignoring the young man following quietly behind him, Huo Tianqing continued to walk forward.
The young man following Huo Tianqing obviously didn't know that his poor tracking skills had been discovered long ago, so he still followed secretly.
Huo Tianqing walked into a quiet alley, stood still, turned around, and looked back.
Mu Wanqing and Xu Zhu looked at Huo Tianqing with puzzled faces, not understanding why he stopped.
However, the two of them soon understood that they were being followed when they looked at the corner of white clothes exposed at the entrance of the alley.
Huo Tianqing looked at the young man with his head stretched out at the entrance of the alley in a funny way, and said, "Friend, since you have been discovered, why don't you just show up and meet us?"
The young man shook his body and walked slowly out of the alley. He looked at Huo Tianqing with pretense of surprise and said, "Hey, what a coincidence, brother, we meet again."
Huo Tianqing felt countless crows flying over his head. Damn it, forget about such poor acting skills. Where did your fluent Beijing movie come from?
Putting away his reverie, Huo Tianqing clasped his fists and said: "May I ask who your friend is and why you are following me?"
"This, Xiaosheng Duan Yu, is a martial artist," the young man said awkwardly and awkwardly, holding his fists.
"Duan Yu?"
