Chapter 191 - Shangyuan Lantern Festival 02 (2/2)
Those who hadn’t played riddle games would only be confused when seeing the messy patterns. However, for Xiao Lou, these riddles weren’t difficult.
After guessing these two, Xiao Lou turned back and said, “Hanjiang, you go and hang the lanterns first. I will continue to look for the riddles. If you take too much then it won’t be easy to go. Hang these two up first.”
Yu Hanjiang nodded. He put on the acceleration shoes and sped toward the tree outside the lantern market.
Once he came near the big tree, he found there were still only a few wishes and a colourful lantern hanging on the tree. It was the same as the beginning and his teammates hadn’t returned yet. It seemed that Xiao Lou’s speed was the fastest.
Yu Hanjiang hung two lanterns on the tree. At the same time, a prompt appeared on everyone’s floating boxes. [Number of lantern riddles that have been collected: 2.]
Ye Qi was currently holding a lantern and thinking about the answer. The riddle he got was a word puzzle. A line of words was written on the round lantern: Draw a circle of time, write a square of time, a short winter, a long summer’. Ye Qi hadn’t thought of the answer yet when he saw the prompt. Ye Qi couldn’t help wondering, “Who is so fast that two lanterns are already hung?”
Shao Qingge smiled slightly. “Who else can it be? It is only our witty Madam Yu.”
Ye Qi remembered that ‘Madam Yu’ was Xiao Lou and immediately nodded. “It must be him! We are still looking at the question while he has already thought of the answer. He is indeed the top student!”
Qu Wanyue had also just found the first lantern riddle. She was facing a poetry riddle. It was a delicate red lantern with a line of poetry written in black script: The mountains and water are heavy but willow trees make the shade, the flowers give the light. (TL: The willow trees make the shade, the flowers give the light is an idiom that means light at the end of the tunnel)
She had just made a guess when she saw the prompt in the floating box and couldn’t help smiling. “It must be Professor Xiao.
Long Sen scratched his head. “He is really good at this type of riddle. I think the seven of us helping him find the lanterns and letting him guess the riddle alone might be more efficient!”
Qu Wanyue agreed. “I also think so.”
The two of them looked at each other and continued to ponder on the riddle.
Liu Qiao also found a word puzzle that was seemingly simple but it wasn’t easy to guess. The riddle was: A flock of wild goose chasing the boat.
She was thinking carefully when she saw the prompt on the floating box. Liu Qiao expressed her admiration. “We have only found one while they have guessed two and hung the lantern. It seems that we have to speed up or by the time we finish one street, Professor Xiao would’ve already finished searching two streets.”
Mo Xuemin looked melancholy. “I think this is a great possibility!”
Liu Qiao, “……”
So what was the wild goose chasing the boat? Should she ask Professor Xiao for help?
Yu Hanjiang quickly returned to the lantern market and saw Xiao Lou holding two lanterns in his hand.
Xiao Lou saw Yu Hanjiang and smiled. “Hanjiang, I guessed two more. I have to trouble you to send it again.”
Yu Hanjiang, “……”
Could you guess a bit slower?!
