Chapter 322 Thousands of People Throw Handkerchiefs
Li Qingxian said as he walked: "Everyone knows this game. It is to sit in a circle, and then one person runs with a handkerchief. Whoever puts it behind him will have to chase him. If he cannot catch up, the place where he was sitting will be replaced.
You can only continue to hold the handkerchief and put it behind the next person. Since it is a trick game, unimaginable changes will inevitably occur. The core of this game is to observe the person holding the handkerchief, discover the handkerchief behind you in time, and then quickly pick up the handkerchief to catch up.
If you catch up, you win. If you fail to catch up, the consequences may be serious."
Wang Buku nodded and said: "Yes, this game is very simple, but it is too simple and it is more likely to cause problems. What's more, the thought of thousands of people sitting around throwing handkerchiefs makes people shudder. Therefore, we must be prepared.
"
Song Baige analyzed: "This game must be more difficult than ordinary handkerchief throwing. One of the key points is 'don't tell him', so don't expose yourself like you usually do when playing games. Once you violate the rules of the game, the consequences will be disastrous."
People from each team gathered together and walked in all directions, talking quickly as they walked.
No matter whether they were nobles or royal officials, whether they were children of aristocratic families or casual cultivators in the mountains, everyone frowned.
"Oh, I've never seen a thousand people lose their handkerchiefs..."
"Stop talking about it, my whole body will be hairy if you mention it."
With panic in their eyes, everyone slowly formed an irregular circle and stood facing the center of the circle.
"Sit down!" Fangfang took Li Qingxian's hand and they sat down together.
Everyone sat down one after another.
In the huge square, there were thousands of candidates, but no one spoke. Only the children's laughing voices were heard, like wind chimes floating in the air.
The sound of the wind chimes is very cold, like ice cubes rubbing against the ears.
At this time, children's singing suddenly came from the intersections in the east, west and south directions at the same time.
"Throw...throw...throw the handkerchief..."
Everyone was hairy, and I didn't hear that three people came at once after throwing away their handkerchiefs.
Li Qingxian instinctively turned around to look, and then his whole body became cold.
A girl in red is holding a red handkerchief, a girl in yellow is holding a yellow handkerchief, and a girl in blue is holding a blue handkerchief, jumping up and running over shaking the handkerchief.
However, no matter how much I turned around, I could only see two girls and two handkerchiefs at the same time. I could never see three people and three handkerchiefs at the same time.
"It's broken, you can't see three people at the same time..."
Soon someone discovered it and everyone started talking about it.
"Shh... we're going to play a game, don't talk nonsense!" The children around the candidate all put their fingers to their mouths.
The candidates with children hurriedly shut their mouths, and the candidates without children hurriedly asked, but most of the candidates with children did not dare to move and just kept their mouths tightly closed.
Only the brave candidates made gestures with their hands to make sutures on their lips.
The childless person understood immediately, shut his mouth, Guan Zhou looked pale, and stared closely at Fangfang beside Li Qingxian.
All the childless candidates looked at those children, with regret and envy in their eyes at the same time.
"Throw...throw...throw the handkerchief..."
The three handkerchief children kept repeating the nursery rhyme "Throwing Handkerchiefs" and slowly ran towards the outside of the large circle where thousands of people were sitting. Behind them, they started running around the circle.
Everyone tensed up and kept turning their heads to look at two of the three people.
Soon, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they kept turning their heads, they could...
Some people looked panicked, and soon, Li Qingxian discovered that everyone who was passed by the handkerchief child suddenly froze, with panicked expressions on their faces, and no one twisted their necks to look behind them.
Li Qingxian instantly understood the rules of the trick game. Once the child came behind him, he would not be able to know immediately whether the handkerchief had fallen.
But it is absolutely impossible to get up directly. Once you get up, the game will be lost.
Just as Li Qingxian was thinking about it, he saw a girl in red passing by a martial arts cultivator. The girl in red just ran by without putting down her handkerchief. The martial cultivator suddenly stood up and turned around to look behind him.
Everyone looked at that martial artist in disbelief. Are they crazy?
Why stand up without being sure?
The next moment, some people woke up, because this martial artist and the people in his team only had their left eyes, and a white stone ball was stuffed in the right eye.
This martial artist must have been worried about eye problems and wanted to look behind him too much, but he couldn't turn his head while sitting. In desperation, he tried to stand up and look.
As a result, Wu Xiu's body reacted too quickly and he stood up directly.
However, the girl in red did not put down her handkerchief.
When the martial arts cultivator saw that there was nothing behind him, his expression changed slightly and he hurriedly sat down.
Unexpectedly, the girl in red turned to look at the martial artist, smiled sweetly, and sang: "The handkerchief is gone, behind me is empty, under my feet are empty, and my hands are empty."
Everyone's eyes widened suddenly.
Then he saw that the martial arts cultivator who was obviously already sitting down suddenly had his hands and feet missing.
The broken wrists and ankles were covered in gray mist.
The martial artist with severed hands and legs turned red and white, his eyes were full of regret, and he gritted his teeth.
There are no children around him.
No child held his hand.
Li Qingxian lowered his head and looked at Fangfang's hand, which was grasping his own fingers.
"Hehe..." The round-faced Fangfang smiled sweetly at her brother.
Li Qingxian's heart was full of warmth. Even if he suddenly got up excited like the martial artist, he would wake up in an instant because he was holding someone in his hand.
That martial arts cultivator didn't.
Li Qingxian looked up and sighed in his heart.
Almost everyone saw clearly that the girl in yellow ran behind Wu Xiu, who had lost his hands and feet, and when his hand loosened, the yellow handkerchief fluttered to the ground.
Everyone's eyes were filled with sympathy.
The price of recklessness is too high.
Wu Xiu, who had lost his hands and feet, was in a trance and fell into regret, but soon he felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he found that everyone was looking at him strangely. He woke up suddenly and turned around hurriedly.
The bright yellow handkerchief is like a small pile of yellow flowers, crawling on the black ground.
He felt sadness rising in his heart, his eyes turned red, he bent over suddenly, bit into the yellow handkerchief, and turned to look at the girl in yellow.
The girl in yellow clapped her hands, looked back at him and sang with a smile: "The handkerchief fell to the ground, catch me quickly! Catch me quickly! Catch me!"
The children around the candidate also clapped their hands together and sang repeatedly: "Hurry up, catch her! Hurry up, catch her..."
Li Qingxian's heart moved, and he clapped his hands and sang along with Fangfang: "Hurry up, catch her..."
Fangfang's eyes lit up and she smiled even more happily.
The martial artist took a deep breath, channeled his true energy, and used his wrists and ankles as hands and feet. He pressed the ground violently, activated his true energy, and rushed towards the girl in yellow like a big dog.
The girl in yellow looks like a child, small in stature, but she runs very fast.
But everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because even if the seventh-level martial arts cultivator lost his hands and feet, he could still run faster than ordinary people with his powerful true energy.
Seeing that Wu Xiu was about to catch up with the girl in yellow, the girl in yellow suddenly accelerated, avoided Wu Xiu, and ran at normal speed.
Wu Xiu tried to catch up several times in a row, but the girl in yellow always accelerated forward and regained the distance.
Li Qingxian frowned slightly, he didn't expect this game to be so difficult.
