Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Someone in the crowd immediately slapped his thigh and said, “That’s right!
Why didn’t I think of that?!”
This time, Su Mao’s face flushed and his dissatisfaction disappeared.
“I don’t believe it. Give me another question!” Su Mao issued a challenge.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows.
“By the way, I didn’t say what you have to do after you lost!”
Su Mao was stunned when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
Just now, she said that she would unseal his acupoints if he won, but she didn’t say what he had to do after he lost.
Li Xiaoran said, “You can go back on your word. After all, I didn’t make things clear to you previously!”
Su Mao was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to say this.
It would have been fine if Li Xiaoran hadn’t said this, but these words immediately aroused the child’s ego.
Su Mao said, “No need. Let’s do it the same way as before. Tell me, if I lose, what do you want me to do?”
Li Xiaoran reminded him, “Don’t you regret it? There won’t be another opportunity after this!”
Su Mao said, “I won’t regret it. Tell me your conditions!”
Su Mao’s mother had been standing at the side and watching. She hadn’t expressed her opinion ever since this matter began.
After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she said, “In that case, I won’t mention the condition for the time being! Since it’s not something outrageous, you can definitely do it!”
Su Mao said, “In that case, let’s continue!”
He didn’t believe that he couldn’t answer the remaining two questions.
Su Mao was quite confident in himself.
He was confident in himself, so he felt that the woman in front of him wouldn’t win no matter what.
“Alright, I’ll ask!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “Three lit candles are placed on the paper box. A gust of wind blew one out and the other two continue to burn. How many candles are left in the end?”
After Su Mao thought for a moment, he replied, “Not a single one is left!” “Su Mao, why are you so slow-witted today? How can there be none left? There has to be at least one left!” Although Ma Zong and Su Mao weren’t on good terms, he was really anxious for Su Mao now.
“Shut up! If I say there’s none left, there’s none left!” With that, Su Mao looked at Li Xiaoran. “Tell me the answer.”
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “That’s right. The correct answer is none left!”
“How is that possible?” Ma Zong muttered in surprise, “One has already been blown out!”
Su Mao reminded him, “Ma Zong, use your brain! The candles are placed on the paper box. When the other two candles are burned out, they will definitely light the paper box. After the paper box is lit, the remaining candle will also be lit and burn away!”
Ma Zong was dumbfounded.
He had never expected this question to be answered like this.
“Alright, now that I have one win and one loss, it’s time for the last question. Come up with the question!” After answering a question correctly, Su Mao was even more confident in himself.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she smiled and asked another question.
“There were five apples in the basin. The five children each got one, but there’s another in the basin at the end. Why?”
As soon as she said this, Su Mao’s mind began to race.
However, even after thinking about many possibilities, Su Mao couldn’t figure it out. In the end, Su Mao had no choice but to admit defeat.
“I can’t think of the reason.”
“Actually, the answer is very simple. When the last child took the apple, he took the basin with him! Therefore, in the end, there was still an apple in this basin!” Li Xiaoran announced the answer.
Su Mao frowned and said, “Aren’t you playing dirty?”
Li Xiaoran reminded, “What about you? Aren’t you playing dirty by letting your mother chase you just because you run fast?”
Su Mao said indignantly, “How is that the same? I escaped with my own abilities!”
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “That’s right. At least I won with my own abilities!”
This time, Su Mao sighed.
“Forget it, I admit defeat! Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?”
Li Xiaoran said, “Actually, my condition is very simple. I came to Clear Spring Town to eat Spring Water Chicken. I want you to bring me to your town’s restaurant that makes the best place for Spring Water Chicken!”
As soon as he said this, Su Mao’s expression became strange and his gaze landed on his mother.
“Ahem!” Su Mao was a little embarra.s.sed and said, “Why don’t you add another condition?”
“No need, this will do!” Li Xiaoran insisted.
When Su Mao heard this, he pointed at the woman on the other side.
“In that case, go find my mother!”
As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng were shocked.
Luo Cheng couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not fooling us, are you?”
“Su Mao isn’t fooling you. Aunt Ling’s Spring Water Chicken is the best in our town. Unfortunately, other than us locals, everyone from other places has been fooled by that Spring Water Chicken Restaurant!” Ma Zong confirmed that what Su Mao said was true.
At this moment, Su Mao’s mother, Su Ling, walked forward.
“Greetings, you two. If you really want to eat authentic Spring Water Chicken, come to my house!”
After Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng exchanged looks, they finally reached an agreement.
After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she looked at Su Mao and asked, “I still have two good friends at the Spring Water Chicken Restaurant. Su Mao, please help me bring a message to Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe. What do you think about letting them come with you?”
“No problem. Take it as my condition for losing to you just now!”
With that, Su Mao turned and ran towards the Spring Water Chicken Restaurant.
“Please follow me!” Su Ling said with a smile.
Li Xiaoran nodded and followed Su Ling to a courtyard with Luo Cheng.
It looked like an ordinary courtyard from outside, but after entering, they realized that it was a completely different world.
The house was beside a stream. Sitting in the courtyard, they could see the stream and the sound of flowing water.
And not far away, there was an open waterhole.
The water was clear and there was nothing inside.
Su Ling explained with a smile when she saw Li Xiaoran sizing up the spring water curiously, “This well was the first life-saving spring water. Many spring water in the village was drawn out from here.”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was immediately surprised. “You mean this spring is the spring that saved that family back then?”
