Chapter 211 Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage

"Bad luck! I didn't win again!" The gloomy man glared at the wooden stick in his hand with a scowl on his face, cursing profusely. He threw the wooden stick onto the table in frustration, as if it were something extremely disgusting.

Then it was the old man's turn to draw the stick. He stretched out his dry fingers, trembling, and carefully pulled a stick from the stick holder. However, when he saw that it was empty, a hint of disappointment crossed his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

Then, the tall, middle-aged man reached into the lottery box with great anticipation. He nervously stared at his hand, hoping for a satisfactory result. Unfortunately, his wish was not fulfilled, and he also drew a blank.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Dieyi and Xingtian standing together. After they looked at each other, Dieyi was the first to reach out and draw the lot.

She gently picked up a wooden stick, examined it carefully, and shook her head helplessly - another blank stick. Xing Tian saw this and quickly drew a wooden stick as well, but in the end, the stick he got was still blank.

As a result, everyone present, with the exception of Gu Yunzhou, who hadn't made a move yet, drew a blank lot. Naturally, everyone's attention focused on Gu Yunzhou, who had been standing quietly to the side.

"My friend, you're quite lucky! Congratulations! You won the red lottery so quickly! You know, our Shuiqing girl has a lot of good stuff on her!"

The old man was the first to break the silence, smiling at Gu Yunzhou. If someone who didn't know the situation saw him like that, they might mistakenly think Gu Yunzhou had won some huge jackpot.

"That's right. Mr. Gu, the newcomer, has excellent luck. It's really enviable!" The tall middle-aged man echoed, his face full of envy.

Facing the crowd's words of congratulations and envy, Gu Yunzhou simply raised the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, but did not speak in response. He calmly raised his hand and slowly reached for the mysterious lottery box.

As everyone waited with bated breath, he finally pulled out a wooden stick from the stick holder. When he took his hand out, everyone looked closely and saw that what he was holding was a wooden stick with a red end like blood!

"Please ask your questions, Mr. Gu!" The old man urged with a smile on his face. However, in sharp contrast to his amiable expression, the hidden malice in his words seemed about to overflow.

At this moment, Dieyi on the side held his chin with one hand and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Gu, Sister Shuiqing has achieved great accomplishments in the art of playing the zither. She has reached the highest level of being able to control it as if it were her own arm. It would be great if you could win!" As he spoke, the look of anticipation on Dieyi's face became more and more obvious.

Gu Yunzhou's gaze slowly swept over the group of people before him, muttering to himself. These fellows, each harboring ulterior motives, possessed no trace of the refined and sanctified spirit expected of the Holy Land of Book Mountain. If he weren't in this place, with its unmistakable surroundings, he would have mistakenly thought he had stumbled into the legendary Valley of Evil, a place populated by wicked individuals.

At this moment, the round-faced girl Shui Qing suddenly came close, blinking her big, watery eyes. She looked at Gu Yunzhou pitifully and said in a soft voice, "Brother Gu, please don't listen to their nonsense! I'm really pitiful. I beg you to be kind and give me a simple question. If you're willing to let me go this time, I will definitely remember your kindness. After the game is over, no matter what you want to do to me, I will be obedient..."

Shui Qing's words were extremely ambiguous, and the hidden meaning within them was obvious to everyone. Even the most clueless person would easily grasp the deeper meaning behind her words.

"Humph, this is ridiculous! A mere little girl, still wet behind the ears, actually dreams of seducing a man? Take a good look in the mirror first. Look at your skinny bean sprout-like figure. It's simply horrible!"

Dieyi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and mocked mercilessly.

"You shameless slut, don't think everyone is as unruly and flirting with men as you are! Let me tell you, our brother Gu is just attracted to pure and lovely women like me!"

Shui Qing widened her eyes, her face full of anger, and with her hands on her hips, she fought back at Dieyi without showing any weakness.

She subconsciously puffed out her chest and muttered to herself: Although my figure is not as plump and proud as Dieyi's, it is still quite good after all.

However, when her eyes involuntarily glanced at Dieyi's tall and straight breasts, a hint of jealousy that was difficult to conceal was revealed in her eyes.

Then, as if she had suffered a great injustice, Shui Qing's eyes instantly turned red, tears welling up in them, and she looked pitiful. She once again cast a resentful gaze at Gu Yunzhou standing beside her, and cried coquettishly, "Brother Gu, you have to make the decision for me... Wuuwuwu..."

At this moment, Gu Yunzhou was speechless as he watched the explosive quarrel between the two women in front of him.

This scene reminded him of the intrigue-filled palace dramas his roommates had forced him to watch in his past life. He had never imagined that, now that he had traveled back to ancient times, he would have the opportunity to once again experience such familiar gossip and intrigue.

He coughed softly. Though the sound was quiet, it seemed to possess a magical power, instantly interrupting the mysterious "spell" the two women were casting. Then, he slowly began, "My question is very simple. Please listen carefully, Miss Shuiqing. Imagine there is a cage containing some chickens and rabbits. If we look down from above, we can count a total of eight heads. However, if we look from the other side and count from the bottom up, we find that these chickens and rabbits have a total of 22 legs. Now, I would like to ask you, Miss, how many chickens and rabbits are there in this cage?"

As soon as Gu Yunzhou finished speaking, the entire venue suddenly fell into a deathly silence, as if under a spell. The people present first looked at each other, then at each other in bewilderment, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Shui Qing was especially shocked. She looked completely bewildered. The words "chicken" and "rabbit" kept echoing in her mind. She was unable to understand the meaning of the question at all.
