Chapter 43

Only halfway through washing the clothes did Qiao Muchao think of the Jiugong Formation.

Oh my god, if you can’t figure it out at noon tomorrow, you have to crawl on the ground and imitate the barking of a dog!

Qiao Muchao did not dare to delay, washed and dried the clothes as quickly as possible, and started drawing on the dirt with a bamboo stick.

She first wrote a few lines on the ground, nine numbers from 1 to 9.

Find the vertical line with the most words on the picture, cross out the numbers on it, and the rest are the options that can be filled in the blanks.

Find the row with the most words, cross out the numbers on it, and then cross out the repeated numbers on the row above.In this way, there are only three or four numbers that can be filled in this horizontal and vertical space. Mark those three or four numbers.

By analogy, find the column with the second largest number of horizontal rows, exclude the marks according to the above method, and then mark the numbers that can be filled in each cell to exclude...

The method seems simple, but you must know that if you fill in the first one incorrectly, you will lose all the subsequent ones.

Although there are only three or four suspected numbers that can be filled in the first space, it is really time-consuming to try them one by one.

Before she knew it, it was almost dusk, and she was still gesticulating and staring at the paper in her hand, completely oblivious to the fact that Shao Qing and Dong Zhi's sister-in-law and daughter had returned.

At this moment, Mrs. Dongzhi is taking her three children to handle bamboo shoots.

They were said to be three children, but in fact only Xiaoman and Qiuyan were working seriously. Shao Qing just used the bamboo shoots as toys, looking at this and that curiously.

Xiao Man stared at Qiao Mu Yao and asked curiously: "Mom, what did Aunt Mu Yao write on that paper? She has been mumbling for so long, as if she still hasn't figured it out yet."

"Hoo, keep your voice down, don't disturb her." Although Dongzhi was illiterate, she could still distinguish numbers from Chinese characters.

Just then she ran over to take a look and found that what she wrote on the paper was a series of numbers, so she whispered: "Your Aunt Mu Yao is settling the accounts. I heard that the person who is settling the accounts cannot be disturbed. If you forget the previous things, you can It’s a waste of effort.”

If Shao Qing hadn't walked up to her and snatched the paper from her hand, we don't know how long her state of fascination would last.

"I've been looking at it for so long. Is it this good?" Shao Qing took a look and gave it back to her.

"Have you eaten?" Qiao Muyao then remembered that he forgot to call her during lunch.

"Eat it!" Shao Qing pouted his lips and made an exaggerated expression, "But it's really unpalatable."

Only then did Qiao Muchao notice that Dongzhi and her daughter had returned home and carefully cooked the bamboo shoots.

Qiao Mu Yao went to cook after adding some more ingredients to the bag she had used at noon and putting them into the earthen pot to cook.

Unexpectedly, a simple plate of fried pork with bamboo shoots made Shao Qing's girl eat with gusto.

After so long, she couldn't solve a problem. Thinking of those bets, Qiao Muyao became flustered. She didn't want to bark like a dog in public.

After eating and washing up, she lit the oil lamp and started to work overtime and stay up all night to solve the Sudoku. She didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to solve it after staying up all night.

I don't know if it was because she was too tired from running around during the day, but Shao Qing's girl began to breathe evenly from behind the bed.

A quiet night with no one to disturb is very suitable for doing this kind of thing. Fortunately, just after Haishi, the first problem was solved.

With the experience of the first time, the difficulty factor of the second time was much less, and it was solved in the middle of the hour.

20 taels of silver were easily obtained. Qiao Muyao was so happy that she hummed a song and took out the medicinal materials such as Angelica dahuricae, Bletilla striata, and white Poria cocos ground in the pharmacy.I took a small bowl and kneaded some egg white, mixed a little of these medicinal ingredients evenly, then added an appropriate amount of water to make a paste, and beautifully made a Qizi Whitening Mask.

The next morning, when she and Shao Qing got up from sleep, Dongzhi and her daughter brought back two more baskets and sat silently under the eaves to start processing.Qiao Muyao felt very sorry and said that it would be fine as long as she came alone and there was no need to bring the two children with her.

But Dongzhi insisted that the work in the fields was finished and they were idle at home, fearing that their cousins ​​would bully them.

Thinking of the living bandits in her sister-in-law's house, Qiao Muchao had no choice but to give up.

After they had packed up the bamboo shoots and finished eating, Lao Li also came and cooked them in the empty earthenware pot he had brought back. There were many people, and there were four cans of bamboo shoots in an hour.

After taking Lao Li's car into the city, Qiao Muchao couldn't wait to rush to the academy and wait in front of the stone table yesterday.

Knowing that Qiao Muchao didn't ask An Jingchen for help, Jin Yuzhong knew that she was going to be in trouble, so he took his gang of younger brothers to make a big announcement in the academy yesterday.

Yesterday, many people were thinking hard, but they couldn't figure it out.

When they learned that Madam Qiao, a female prostitute, dared to boast that she could solve two puzzles, everyone was very curious and wanted to see if she could really solve them.

Therefore, as soon as the lunch break bell rang, the scholars couldn't wait to rush to the appointed place.

An Jingchen walked towards the dormitory expressionlessly as usual.

Zhao Yuanlin hurriedly chased after him, "Brother An, I heard that my sister-in-law has arrived. Are you serious about not going to see her?"

"See her crawling on the ground and barking like a dog?" An Jingchen's face was obviously sullen.

"Just... even if this is the case, you have to go and have a look!"

Zhao Yuanlin blushed in embarrassment. To be honest, he didn't believe that An's sister-in-law could figure it out, but he couldn't bear to watch her crawl on the ground and bark like a dog.

"Go and see her embarrassed?" An Jingchen quickened his pace.

Zhao Yuanlin felt very uncomfortable when he thought of the delicacies An's sister-in-law had given him these past two days, and then looked at the stinky look on his face.

"Sister-in-law, you only accepted the challenge to prevent others from looking down on you. If you don't even take a look, that would be too heartless!"

An Jingchen stopped, glared at him and said angrily: "Did I ask her to challenge? That's her own business. Whether she wins or loses has nothing to do with me!"

"Okay, since it has nothing to do with you, then I'll go and see for myself!" Zhao Yuanlin turned and left after saying this.

Jin Yuzhong is a little idiot. If he didn't have a little money at home, and just the few inks in his stomach, it would be impossible to go to Fengxi Academy.

At this moment, the losers around him said with a proud look on their faces: "Master Jin, I heard that An Jingchen went to the dormitory. He probably knew that his wife couldn't figure it out, so he deliberately hid far away to avoid embarrassment."

"Master Jin, do you think it would be too easy for her to let her crawl on the ground and bark like a dog?"

Jin Yuzhong looked proud, as if he had seen her crawling on the ground and barking like a dog.

"Haha, it's really an advantage for her. If I had known this, I should have let her crawl around the academy!"

"Walking around the academy? How many hours does this take? Haha, this is good, this is good!" someone echoed.

"Oh, it's a pity that An Jingchen didn't come. I don't know how bad his face would be if he saw his wife barking on the ground!"
