The King's Prince (2)【Revised】(1/2)
Granny Jin's expression at this moment was blank.
I thought I was sure of winning, but I was actually self-righteous. The major setback I suffered was like winning a million-dollar lottery ticket but exceeding the redemption deadline. There is no need to elaborate on the difference.
Xu Erlin didn't know how to read people's eyes at all, so he laughed loudly: "Grandma Jin, your mouth must have been opened! It doesn't matter what you say."
Granny Jin: "...Idiot."
I know I can make the guy who appears out of nowhere tell the truth, but you don’t know... Believe anything you say, and you are nothing more than an idiot.
Xu Erlin picked his ears: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."
Granny Jin showed a kind smile: "I said, thank you for your compliment, young man."
Xu Erlin smiled strangely: "You are so polite, hahaha."
Granny Jin: "..."
No one paid attention to what the two people were talking about. The other three people rushed to ask Lin Hui how to pass the customs. If the gray cloak hadn't added a mysterious halo to her and she had a cold face, they would probably
Have an extreme reaction.
Lin Hui thought for a while and got an idea.
As we all know, the summary of a novel can be condensed to get the name of the novel. The title of a non-stream of consciousness movie is most likely closely related to the entire story. The name of the crack is "The King's Prince", which is equivalent to the teacher's teaching content for one school year.
Pick out two parts and let students focus on them. Needless to say, they will definitely pass the exam, in order to increase the students' passing rate.
Don't memorize it by rote, you deserve to fail the exam.
"First, find the king."
"The king is dead."
The man who spoke was short in stature, his back was curved like a bow, and his flattering expression hung on his face like a mask, which seemed a bit hypocritical.
Lin Hui matched his description with Ru Di's - this person should be named Huang Yong, and he belongs to the category of people who are holding back.
"Then find the king's body."
Huang Yong asked: "Why?"
Lin Hui did not hesitate to explain in a few words: "The king has an item on his body that will help us pass the customs."
Huang Yong: "Are you sure? You can't be mistaken."
Ru Xiaoya gave a loud "hum" and put her hands on her hips and cursed: "Since the teacher dares to say it, he has a certain degree of confidence. The crack is not caused by the teacher. It is difficult for others to make absolutely no mistakes."
Granny Jin said slowly: "Everyone almost died in order to see the prince. We should be more cautious."
Lin Hui: "It's okay. You can give it a try. The corpse won't call the attendants to kill."
Granny Jin: "..."
I suspect you are mocking us, but there is insufficient evidence.
"It makes sense," Xu Erlin agreed: "Then don't worry, hurry up."
Granny Jin laughed: "Erlin, do you know where the king's body is?"
Xu Erlin: "I don't know. But I have a mouth, so I can ask."
Granny Jin: "..."
The group of people left this remote and deserted palace. Xu Erlin was quickly slapped in the face. He thought he had a smart mouth, but unfortunately everyone in the palace had snobbish eyes.
A smart mouth meets a snobbish eye, and you are completely defeated.
Often before Xu Erlin came forward, the servants would already avoid him with disgust when they saw his maid, as if civilians were carrying contagious viruses and couldn't avoid them. If they were stopped by him, most of them would threaten to call the guards to arrest them.
Drive out.
There are also some who are sarcastic and scolding, and some who curse very dirty.
Xu Erlin met such a person. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action.
"Don't worry, I will definitely kill this guy before he calls anyone."
Lin Hui reached out to stop Xu Erlin and said seriously: "You can kill him, and then what? Leaving the body here may lead to pursuit and increase the difficulty of clearance. If you choose to hide the body, it will waste time."
"It makes sense," Xu Erlin calmed down and marveled: "I am a stubborn donkey who doesn't listen to others' advice, but I can listen to your advice. As expected of a teacher, I am good at analysis."
Analyzing gains and losses has nothing to do with profession, it is just a basic skill for social animals.
Whenever the company cuts wages in disguise, increases the proportion of retained wages, or stops paying bonuses and commissions, she will secretly curse that the company has run out of steam, and begins to debate whether to resign. Even if she can't get promoted and get a raise, she can take a break for a while.
Very good. However, the heavy housing loan, car loan, and high living expenses are like a big mountain weighing on me.
At this time, you need to weigh the pros and cons, resign or just stay put?
Just as Lin Hui's industry is entering the sunset, the frequency of weighing the pros and cons has become very high.
Of course, modern society is inseparable from the word "analysis". Even the most liberal college students, who have just got rid of the depression and toil of the third year of high school, have to start thinking about whether to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the public examination or direct employment in a few years.
Xu Erlin's "brainlessness" does not exist in Lin Hui's circle of friends, and is a rare species in her world.
It's so silly that it's a little cute.
A gust of wind blew up a corner of the gray cloak, and Lin Hui's right hand was completely exposed. The cyan pattern was very conspicuous, echoing the flute on the back of Lu Di's hand.
Granny Jin's pupils shrank and she murmured: "Truth contract..." Her expression changed rapidly, and a look of struggle appeared on her face. After a few seconds, it returned to normal, obviously she had made a decision in her heart.
All this was watched silently by Ru Xiaoya.
No one will guard against a child of several years old, just like a pet never minds a human being changing clothes in front of him.
"Let me try. Considering my age, maybe some kind-hearted people will be willing to chat with me."
Grandma Jin walked towards a maid who was holding dirty clothes and walking hastily with a cane.
"Little girl..."
Granny Jin is indeed the oldest among them, but her appearance is not as old as hers. She has wrinkles, but her skin is extremely smooth. Her eyes are clear and bright, with clear black and white. Her face is kind and her posture is elegant, and she can tell that she was young.
She must be a beauty. And her mental state is far better than that of several young people. After all, she is neatly dressed and her hair is not messed up. She is in sharp contrast to the dirty Ru Di and Ru Xiaoya brother and sister, and they have experienced
Compared with Xu Erlin, Huang Yong and others who are on the run for life and death, there is also a gap between red carpet actresses and street beggars.
The maid still had a bad look on Granny Jin, "Where are the refugees, get out of here..."
Lin Hui began to think about other ways to find the king's body. For example, the minister who appeared at the beginning was very friendly to the common people. Can she inquire with him? But where is this minister? Running around will definitely not work. Once
Accidentally discovered by an orc servant, she wasn't sure she could run faster than her companions.
"Don't worry! I picked up a gold necklace in the grass. Did you drop it?"
The smile on Granny Jin's face remained unchanged, and the golden rose pendant dangled in front of the maid...dangled...
The maid shook her head, "No..."
My hands, which were rough from working all year round, subconsciously stretched out, barely missing the necklace.
Granny Jin retracted her hand, and the maid's eyes failed, showing an annoyed look.
"I think you dropped it."
Suddenly, Granny Jin changed the topic and placed the necklace in the palm of the maid: "Its owner can only be a beautiful girl like you. Keep it and don't drop it again."
"Thank you..." The maid was surprised, with two blushes on her cheeks, and said incoherently: "I mean thank you for helping me find it, you are such a good person. So, what can I help you with? Kind old lady
How about I prepare some food for you? Of course, not too much. I can only get three pieces of black bread and two bowls of vegetable soup every day. This is my salary for a hard day's work... I can give you all three pieces of black bread.
you."
"Good girl, don't bother me. I'm just wondering where the king's body is. Can you tell me?"
Hearing this, Ru Di couldn't help but ask: "If I don't make up a reason, wouldn't asking casually like this arouse the suspicion of the maid?" If a fleeing commoner asked where the king's body was, the probability of ulterior motives was frighteningly high.
Lin Hui resisted the urge to shrug and lowered her voice and said: "She is just a migrant worker with three pieces of bread and two bowls of vegetable soup. Why should she worry about the boss and his family who own the entire country?"
Sure enough, the maid was very happy to hear that she didn't have to pay for her three pieces of black bread, but only had to betray her former boss's private information.
In this way, wouldn't the gold necklace be just like picking it up for free?
"If you walk along the white palace wall, you can see a high tower inlaid with stained glass. The king's body is inside, and the protector of the royal family - the fair beast stone statue is guarding it. If you want to enter the tower
, you must answer the question about the beast statue. It is best to answer it correctly. If the answer is wrong, you have to get the honey from the black bear - the black bear is locked in the beast garden, which is in the northeast corner of the palace. If you offer honey, the beast statue will give you
A second chance... The Beast Stone Statue can ask up to two questions a day. If you ask me what questions the Beast Stone Statue will ask, then who knows!"
After saying that, the maid left with cheerful steps.
Granny Jin returned to the main force on crutches, her leisurely pace making people couldn't help but spell out the word "master".
Such a detailed description with various restrictions gave several people a sense of ease that they were on the right path to clear the customs.
It's like the flies swarming around the house suddenly find an open window and can already smell the free air.
Walking along the palace wall, Lin Hui quickly saw the tall tower the maid mentioned.
The heavy stone door was tightly closed, and the python relief was entangled in the center of the stone door. Its scales were clearly visible and lifelike. As a few people approached, the closed eyes of the relief slowly opened. The snake's head lifted up and left the stone door, hanging in mid-air.
.The snake's mouth opened, and Lin Hui felt a nauseating stench rushing towards her face. Then, her cheek was licked by the cold snake letter, leaving a water mark.
Her expression was dull, and doubts appeared in her mind: The snake letter was obviously made of stone, so why was it wet?
To be continued...
