Chapter 113 Guessing Lantern Riddles
Lin Jingsheng went over to fold up some clothes on the bed and put them into the backpack. "Let's go. It should be getting lively over there."
Two people were walking on the street, one was wearing light green and the other was wearing dark green.
The guy on the left has a slender waist outlined by a belt, and is barely slender enough to be held in one hand. The man on the right is tall and straight, giving a full sense of security.
Both of them are tall and dressed in gorgeous clothes, which really matches each other.
From a distance, you can see East Street brightly lit and bustling with people.
Since arriving in this world, Jiang Ci has never seen the night so bright.
"It's really busy ahead, let's go over there quickly."
Lin Jingsheng grabbed Jiang Ci's hand and said, "Hold on tight, don't get lost."
Jiang Ci pulled Lin Jingsheng's hand and shook it, "Well, you won't get lost."
Then the two of them walked towards the crowd together.
There was still a hint of red glow in the sky, and the light from the lanterns combined with the red glow to illuminate half the sky.
There are many young couples like them in the busy streets.
Not far inside, I saw an acrobatics stall, where a performer was performing the stone-breaking-with-chest trick.
Jiang Ci was very interested in this and found an empty seat and squeezed to the front.
He stared intently at the performance of breaking stones with his chest.
When the hammer really fell, Jiang Ci's heart was lifted up.
Many people around were very nervous.
The hammer was raised, and the person under the stone slab shook off the broken stone slab on his body, stood up and waved to the audience below the stage.
Jiang Ci shouted loudly just like the people next to him.
He took a few copper coins and put them in the dustpan that the man was holding.
Walk the streets to find the next interesting place.
Jiang Ci still remembers the scene she just saw vividly, "It's amazing. When he smashed it down, I was afraid that the people below would be smashed into pulp."
"Since we're out performing, there won't be mistakes like that."
Unlike modern times with the help of technology, the people who come out to perform here all have real talent and skills.
"That's the lantern riddle game, go over and take a look."
Jiang Ci became interested and said, "Let's go!"
There were quite a few people at the lantern riddle guessing stall, and Jiang Ci couldn't see the riddles in front of him.
"I can't see it."
Lin Jingsheng, who had the advantage of height, had a clear view of what was ahead. "I can see it. I'll read it to Ah Ci."
"Okay, I envy your height."
Lin Jingsheng couldn't deny it. Jiang Ci was now more than two inches taller than the first time they met.
"I'll read it to you. If it's almost correct, give me a word."
"The rising sun, guess a word."
"If you get it half wrong again, type one more word."
"Extended in all directions, guess an idiom."
"I don't have what he has, the heaven doesn't have what the earth has, guess a word."
There was a group of people in front, shaking their heads, thinking about the answer.
Jiang Ci was scratching his head when he heard these riddles. He couldn't think of the answers for a while, and he had never played with them before.
Jiang Ci looked at Lin Jingsheng, "Do you know?"
"Then which one does Aci want to know the answer to?"
Jiang Ci was excited and said this in a very arrogant tone.
"I only remember the first question, it's pretty close. Guess a word, what is it?"
Lin Jingsheng leaned close to Jiang Ci's ear and said, "Miscellaneous."
"miscellaneous?"
Jiang Ci thought about it and it was true, "Eighty or ninety are all in there."
Now that I know the answer, it is really simple when I think about it in conjunction with the question.
Someone in the front was able to answer quickly, "One is, miscellaneous!"
"You guessed it right, almost right. Guess a word: miscellaneous!"
"A bunch of candied haws. Please take it, sir."
"Aci, do you want it?"
"Yes, you win it back for me."
"Okay, wait here."
Lin Jingsheng let go of Jiang Ci's hand and squeezed forward.
When Lin Jingsheng squeezed in, Jiang Ci could only see his head by standing on tiptoe.
Jiang Ci heard Lin Jingsheng's voice, "The rising sun in the east, guess a word, nine; and this, extending in all directions, guess an idiom, and be well-informed."
As soon as the answer is given, others will immediately realize that this is the answer to the riddle and start applauding and cheering.
"Congratulations to this guest, the answer is correct."
Having won two candied haws, Lin Jingsheng held them high when he squeezed out.
"Aci, here you go."
Jiang Ci took the candied haws that she had won.
Each person took a candied haws, and with the other hand they held hands and continued walking forward.
If you hear people cheering in front of you, you know it’s an interesting stall.
When Jiang Ci saw other people, he looked up. He saw a man performing acrobatics on a rope.
Jiang Ci patted Lin Jingsheng's arm and said, "Look, look!"
The shelf must be at least five or six meters high, and there are no safety measures.
The woman performing acrobatics on it is lithe and graceful, holding a spear in her hand and striking many difficult poses.
Sometimes when changing positions, the rope would swing left and right and the rack would creak, and the people below would become nervous, fearing that she would fall down.
Jiang Ci also squeezed his hand tightly.
Lin Jingsheng saw something from your movements above, "She has great skills. She won't fall, and she won't get hurt even if she jumps down."
Jiang Ci's curiosity was immediately attracted by Lin Jingsheng's words.
"How to say?"
As they walked, Lin Jingsheng explained to Jiang Ci, "She has kung fu skills, which are enough to support her to do whatever she wants on the rope."
"How did you tell?"
Lin Jingsheng's words were stuck in his throat. He thought Jiang Ci would not ask him as usual.
"How can I tell? Because I have Kung Fu skills too."
As he said this, his eyes occasionally glanced at Jiang Ci.
"Do you have many more secrets? When are you going to tell me?"
"As long as Ah Ci asks, I will tell you everything I know."
"What I want is your words."
The tension between the two of them just now seemed like a joke and disappeared in an instant.
Many young men and women hurried past them, "Hurry up, hurry up! It's time to release the river lanterns, find a good spot."
They waited for the crowded crowd to move forward, and Jiang Ci saw two people standing in front of the mask stall over there.
Xiao Nanhua took a fox mask and put it on the person next to him, and the two of them were in a very intimate posture.
Now everyone was running towards the river. A man accidentally bumped into a man wearing a fox mask. The man staggered and Xiao Nanhua reached out to steady the man.
Everyone was rushing to the river, so Jiang Ci didn't stop to say hello to Xiao Nanhua.
Isn't this the object of your affection?
I saw dots of light on the river bank. They were all river lanterns floating away.
The river bank was also filled with people.
However, for Jiangci, who has seen many scenic spots full of people, the number of people here is not that large.
I bought a river lantern in the shape of a lotus.
After walking for a distance, I found a place with few people, walked down the stairs, squatted by the river, and lit the river lanterns.
Jiang Ci held it in his hand and looked at it for a while. He was a little reluctant to let it go, but he still put it down.
The two men sat by the river and watched the river lanterns they had released merge into the larger group of river lanterns, unable to tell which one was theirs.
