Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

However, just when Huang Yueying had just arranged the second row of counting chips, and was about to arrange another row, and gave the answer, Li Yi said: "There are 23 chickens and twelve rabbits."

"Bah!"

The counting chips in Huang Yueying's hand fell directly to the ground, her eyes widened, she looked at Li Yi's face in disbelief, then at his hands, and finally set her eyes on those ghostly symbols, shook her head and muttered: " Impossible, how could you be so fast?"

Last time Huang Yueying didn't respond, but this time she overreacted. Li Yi frowned, understood the reason, and asked meaningfully: "Why doesn't Yueying verify whether the answer is correct or not?"

Huang Yueying's face turned red, unlike the previous few times, this time it was blushing.

Regardless of whether Li Yi cheated the first time or not, her cheating was pointed out.

Fortunately, Huang Yueying's psychological quality is not bad. After a while, although her face was still flushed, her tone became much calmer. She stared at Li Yi and asked, "May I ask Marquis Xiang to tell Yueying that this is really calculated?"

Speaking, Huang Yueying also pointed to those "ghost painting symbols".

At the beginning, Huang Yueying watched it secretly, and she didn't see it clearly, so she felt that the things Li Yi drew were messy and completely messed up. But after two consecutive setbacks, she felt suspicious, so she looked at those ghostly drawn symbols again. It is indeed disorganized, but if you look carefully, some of the graphics are repeated many times, not like Li Yi's random scribbles.

Moreover, although Li Yi didn't know the order in which Li Yi drew them, Huang Yueying vaguely felt that those seemingly messy ghost symbols actually appeared according to certain established rules, and they were not as chaotic as they appeared on the surface.

"Yueying wants to know?"

Li Yi asked, looking at Huang Yueying's face full of knowledge, Li Yi felt very satisfied.

Huang Yueying wanted to nod at first, but when she saw Li Yi's not-so-kind eyes, she couldn't speak.

Thinking to himself that he has made extraordinary achievements in arithmetic, if anyone can surpass him, he must be a person with a lot of knowledge, and this kind of person's self-cultivation and demeanor are absolutely heart-wrenching, how can he be so disgusting like the person in front of him?

Therefore, Huang Yueying's heart was broken, and she said bravely: "Five matches and three wins, the first match is won by Xianghou, please continue to write questions."

The corners of Li Yi's mouth curled up slightly, his cheap niece and daughter became more and more interesting.

Now that Huang Yueying has let go, Li Yi has no reason to be polite. Although this girl is young, she is arrogant and arrogant, and she also has the capital to be proud. If she is not shocked once, it will be absolutely difficult in the future.

"Okay then, I'll continue with the questions, Yueying listen up!"

"Please!"

"Xiao Heyue was chasing Han Xin. At that time, the Marquis of Huaiyin was heading west all the way. At the first hour, he rode for eighty miles, at the second hour, he traveled seventy miles, and at the end of the third hour, his horse traveled twenty miles at each hour."

"Xiao Xiangguo learned about this two hours later, and he was very anxious. Fortunately, there was a good horse gifted by Gao Zu, which traveled a hundred miles in the first hour, 85 miles in the second hour, and 25 miles in each hour. Now, assuming that the two of you didn't rest on the way, how many miles did Xiao Xiangguo catch up with the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

Chapter 214 The Method of Easy Counting

After hearing this question, Huang Yueying frowned immediately.

The question was a bit roundabout, but it wasn't difficult. Huang Yueying could solve it, but the problem was that she knew she couldn't give an answer quickly.

Comparing Li Yi's problem-solving speed two times before, looking at that guy's smiling eyes, and considering that this problem was posed by him, Huang Yueying already had a premonition that she seemed to lose again.

However, Huang Yueying did not choose to give up because of this, she shook the counting chip in her hand, glanced at Li Yi, and asked, "Xianghou, why don't you let Huaiyinhou's mount go faster and travel three miles more every hour, how about it? "

What Huang Yueying thought was that if Li Yi knew the answer a long time ago, and she changed the number, the previous answer would naturally become invalid, and Li Yi would need to recalculate.

In this way, the time for Li Yi to give an answer can definitely be greatly extended. Even, if Li Yi is a little stupid, he may not get a correct answer at all.

Huang Yueying was very satisfied with her proposal and was able to expose Li Yi's true colors.

However, for Huang Yueying's proposed changes, not only did Li Yi not have the slightest guilty conscience or anxiety on his face, but he responded directly as soon as Huang Yueying finished speaking: "Okay, just follow what Yueying said!"

Li Yi's response was so straightforward, it directly shattered Huang Yueying's little complacency just now, and she became worried about gains and losses again.

Seeing that Li Yi had dipped his fingers in water to scribble quickly on several cases, and then looked at the calculations in his hands for several years, no matter how he looked at it, he seemed clumsy.

Gritting her teeth, Huang Yueying immediately put down her counting chips. She decided to give up on this question, and watched closely the movements of Li Yi's fingers to see if he was real or a deceitful villain.

Sensing Huang Yueying's actions, Li Yi paused and glanced at her, then continued to solve the problem with a smile, secretly proud of it, your uncle's character is so strong once in a while, and you bumped into him, tsk tsk

Huang Yueying didn't pay attention to the smugness in the corner of Li Yi's eyes at all, her expression was very focused, and soon, Huang Yueying found that although it was still a ghost painting, the arrangement of Li Yi's paintings this time was obviously different from the previous ones, but upon closer inspection, It is also very methodical.

This made Huang Yueying's heart sink gradually, but while she was sighing, there was also a trace of expectation in Huang Yueying's eyes

Soon, after a few breaths, Huang Yueying estimated that the time spent at this time was already equivalent to the previous two questions. Seeing that Li Yi hadn't given an answer, she was relieved, but also a little disappointed. When I started, I saw Li Yi put away his fingers, smiled at her and said, "610 Erli!"

Huang Yueying's hand, which was just about to get the counting chips, seemed to have stopped as if time had stopped. It took a long time to slowly retract her hand, but her head was like a clay sculpture, hanging down and motionless.

Seeing this, Li Yi thought that Huang Yueying was doing a mental calculation to verify the answer. He didn't want to waste time, so he said, "I just calculated it twice on purpose, and verified it again. The answer is definitely good. Of course, if Yueying doesn't believe it, she can naturally verify it again." .”

Originally, Li Yi didn't think about checking the calculation, but because Huang Yueying changed the value, if it happened to be wrong, it would definitely depreciate his image, so Li Yi spent a little more time.

"Oh, that's how it is"

Huang Yueying sighed leisurely, raised her head, looked at Li Yi with a complicated expression, and said after a while: "Is Xianghou willing to teach me this algorithm?"

Li Yi felt happy, seeing Huang Yueying's attitude, she seemed to be ready to admit defeat.

Indeed, everyone is a decent person. If you know that you are not as good as the other party, but insist on winning three out of five games, then you can't afford to lose, and you will lose your style.

However, Li Yi didn't take advantage of the trend to propose winning or losing, nor did he ask Huang Yueying to call her master or uncle, because some things were too much to go too far, and she should take it easy to show her demeanor, not to mention a little favor, and let the girl think wildly Come on, it's a girl after all

"There's nothing wrong with it, come, sit by my side, and I'll tell you what to say."

Li Yi moved to the side, and then began to clean up the water stains on several cases. Huang Yueying looked at Li Yi, and was a little surprised that Li Yi didn't take advantage of the opportunity to ask her to apprentice, but if Li Yi didn't say anything, she wouldn't say it either. Lifting the hem of her skirt, she carefully knelt and sat on the other side of the table, far away from Li Yi.

Li Yi pretended not to see Huang Yueying's precautions, dipped his fingers in water and drew a figure, and said: "Although the counting chip can be counted, it is inconvenient to carry and the calculation is slow, so Li decided to replace it with something else, so"

Li Yi pointed to the "0, 19" just written on the desktop, and said: "So I made these ten symbols, representing zero, one, until nine, and then assisted by other symbols, such as these, I Call it addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division."

While speaking, Li Yi wrote down a formula casually, and then wrote the answer almost without a pause.

"You see, calculating in this way is much simpler and more convenient than counting chips, and it is also easy to proofread. There is no need for special tools, as long as there is an open space."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he leaned back a little, because Huang Yueying, who was sitting far away, had already been attracted to her like a magnet, her hands were tightly grasping the edge of the case, her knuckles were a little bit tight due to too much force. whitish.

At this time, Huang Yueying's eyes were all on the numbers on the case, as if there was some magic power contained in them, she completely ignored the foreign objects, if Li Yi hadn't taken the initiative to dodge, she would have squeezed him.

Seeing Huang Yueying's dedication, Li Yi was not in a hurry to continue talking, his eyelids drooped slightly, his face was calm, and he didn't seem to want to take advantage of the opportunity at all.

If he hadn't sucked his nose so hard a few times

"ah!"

Suddenly, Huang Yueying let out a soft cry, Li Yi hurriedly held his breath, and opened his eyes at the same time, thinking that I didn't do anything, why did you call?

"Xianghou, hurry up, hurry up, look, this"

I saw Huang Yueying's originally calm face became a little panicked for some reason, and even regardless of the difference between men and women, she anxiously grabbed Li Yi's sleeve and pulled him to several cases.

Li Yi tilted his body, leaned his head over to look, and managed to avoid laughing. It turned out that they were the numbers he drew before. Because of the time, the water marks on them became weaker and weaker, and Huang Yueying was fascinated by it. , I was naturally nervous when I saw this situation.
