Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Capacity 500ml

"Perhaps 'House of Beer'—" It seemed that I was getting better and better, the drowsiness was gone, and I felt that I would be fine with a few more drinks.Of course, once there is such a "fantasy", the next day is often an indescribable "unfortunate" waiting. This unfortunate formula also crossed my mind that night, but as always I immediately put it out of my mind.The more I drink, the brighter my head seems to be, and the more excited my emotions are; of course, in fact, this is just an illusion born of stepping into the realm of drunkenness.Even though I know it well, I can't stop it.

Take a lesson and learn to be good once. I don’t know which world’s motto is it? "Maybe there are not only two 'House of Beer', there are several around there!" "I thought you were going to say something," the senior drifted back to his senses, raised his glass and drank; but the beer ran into the air duct, and he coughed continuously. "There are several villas that are so weird that they are off the charts! And they are all concentrated in the same area?" "Of course, there may only be two; but I don't think it's surprising that there are other 'houses of beer'."

"Jiangzi, don't keep talking on your own!" Xiaotu patted me who was sitting next to me, but the force was slightly too much because of drunkenness, and I happened to turn to her, so he slapped me on the cheek, making a crisp sound. "Ah! Ah! Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Carpenter, it's my fault, it's all my fault. Are you okay?" "No, nothing." "Okay! Craftsman," knowing that this is the sincere words of senior Piao Pao, so it is even more terrifying. "Can be beaten by a little rabbit." "What is there to envy?"

"Really? I think being beaten by a woman is a blessing from a man's previous life." "Our values ​​are different." "Then you can correct your attitude before Xiaotu starts again, and explain it from the beginning!" "Oh! Why did the senior make me sound like a violent madman!" "There may be more than two 'House of Beer'—" Gao Qian was indifferent to the commotion around him, and still talked about the topic calmly. "Jiang Zai means 'Russian Roulette'?" "Very sharp," even I myself didn't think of such an appropriate word, and I couldn't help but admire it. "you could put it that way."

"Sure enough." "It seems that it is faster to ask Gao Qian to explain." "No, I don't know the details yet, I'm just guessing casually. Besides, I'm also very interested in the stories that Jiang Zai made up-please continue!" "You two are disgusting!" Senior Piaopao seemed to be really drunk, he was displeased, and then laughed out loud in the next second, his expression and attitude were extremely unstable. "Don't create a two-person world!" "Well, let's assume that the owner of the eldest is the elder brother, and the owner of the second is the second brother, and both of them are men."

"Male? How do you know?" "No, let me state first that these are just character settings for convenience, and the actual backstory may be quite different; please consider this one of the many story versions used to illustrate the efficacy of 'The House of Beer'." "I see. Long, long ago, there was a man named Big Brother and Second Brother, right?" "It's not a long, long time ago, but a modern story... Forget it, that's what it means. The two of them may be relatives of similar age, such as cousins; or they may not be related by blood, but have Best friends who have been friends for decades. In short, the relationship between the two is quite close."

"Since the character setting is made for convenience, let's decide what kind of relationship it is!" "Then treat them as close friends! The elder brother and the second elder brother are best friends who share weal and woe, and they understand each other better than brothers. One day, the friendship between these two people suddenly cast a shadow; , fell in love with the same woman." "Oh!" Don't look at the virtue of the senior, it is said that he is a hidden reader of romance novels; I saw him puffing out his nose with great interest and leaning out. "A doomed triangle? Well, well, then what? Then?"

"As for that woman, what pseudonym should she take?" "Let's call it Susan!" Before I could finish speaking, Senior Piaobao responded immediately. "Just Susan, okay?" "Okay, okay, why is it called Susan?" "The other two are called Big Brother and Second Brother, and then it's 'Three'! Susan's San and San are pronounced similarly, isn't it appropriate? It's very consistent, right?" I'm not the only one who feels far-fetched.The senior is so devoted, I guess that among the girls he liked in the past, 80% of them have an English name named Susan—presumably Gao Qian and Xiao Tu are also convinced of the same.

Forget it, it doesn't matter. "Okay. In short, Susan, who is being pursued by two men at the same time, is quite troubled; in fact, she can choose one of them or refuse both, but she can't. To her, the eldest brother and the second brother are equal Good man, she's in love with both of them at the same time." "Uh-huh." It's just a story, but the senior is completely self-projected into it, agreeing, wiping his nose with a handkerchief, and crying. "After learning about her distress, the elder brother and the second elder brother discussed together; they believed that one party must give in to prevent the situation from deteriorating."

"Woo, woo woo woo!" "The question is who should give in? Both of them love Susan equally, and they really can't find a way to decide; for the sake of fairness, the only way left is to draw lots--willing to admit defeat. But to decide by lottery seems to disrespect Su Susan; they hope to make a decision through Susan's will. Of course, Susan has shown that she can't make a choice and cannot ask her to make a direct choice; so the two are looking for a way to let her introduce the choice." "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

I don't know if it touched the old scars that I don't want to remember, or was it just drunk?I saw Senior Piaopao covering his face with a handkerchief and crying so loudly. Really, it's noisy. "At this time, the news that Susan was going to R Plateau for fun reached the two of them. It happened that the elder brother and the second brother both had villas in the R Plateau, so the two had an idea and decided to use it." "Whoa whoa whoa!" "Susan, like us, plans to rent a bicycle to play on the plateau; the elder brother and the second brother who learned about this gave Susan the key to the villa and said to her: 'We have a villa in the R plateau, and no one is using it now; If you are tired, you are welcome to rest at any time.'” "But," Xiaotu seemed to be drunk too, solemnly stroking the senior's head, comforting him who was crying. "How can you rest in that kind of empty villa? Although there is barely a bed, you can't relax at all! Or the elder brother and the second brother don't know that their villa has been turned into such a virtue?" "No, how could they not know? It was they themselves who turned the villa into a 'House of Beer'." "Huh? So, they knew the villa was empty, but they gave Susan the key back?" "That's right." "It's so strange! Why do you want to do this?" "Just like what Gao Qian said, in order to perform 'Russian Roulette'. The eldest brother and the second brother did not tell Susan the exact location of the villa, but only gave a rough idea, for example, you can see it along a detour. .” "But this may cause Susan to not be able to find a villa!" "That's right, but it doesn't matter. This lottery is a game to decide who wins and who loses, and there is no complaint. Maybe they have already agreed that if Susan doesn't find the two villas, they will give up together." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Which villa is discovered by Susan, the owner of the villa can marry her—to put it simply, after they agreed in advance, the lottery was drawn." "Hey, just to be on the safe side, let me ask you; does Susan know about this? Does she know which villa she is resting in, and will decide who her future husband is?" "No, I don't know. The elder brother and the second brother should have done it in private, without letting her know his intentions; because if she was informed, it would be meaningless. It is the introduction to reflect her consciousness without her knowing it. The essence of 'Russian Roulette'." "I don't like this kind of practice." Xiaotu frowned unhappily, "What are you talking about respecting Susan's will? This is not will at all! It's too much to decide her life without her knowing." It's outrageous, and I can't feel the slightest sincerity." "You're right. However, maybe they can't find any other solution, so they can only use this tight move. Maybe their triangular relationship has reached the terminal symptoms, and the only way to deal with it is to rely on luck!" "Whoa whoa whoa whoa!" "However, no matter how good their secrecy is, Susan may still find out!" I don't know if they are disgusted with all men, or because they think the crying is too harsh?The little rabbit who was caressing the senior's head, unexpectedly slapped him on the forehead. "Perhaps Susan didn't suspect him when she took the key; but when she actually entered the villa, she probably noticed the unusual atmosphere. After all, the man said that he would provide the villa for her to rest, but after going there, unexpectedly It's empty." "I think they should have made an agreement in advance. If Susan finds out, nothing counts. If Susan gives up the idea of ​​entering the villa because of this, the eldest brother and the second brother will give up on her at the same time." "No matter what the reason is, if Susan didn't go to the two villas, it can be solved in this way; but what if she visited two villas successively? Didn't the eldest brother and the second brother never consider this possibility?" "How? Of course they have considered it, and both of them think that the probability of this happening is the highest. Because both men gave Susan the key, and Susan also has a good impression of them; as usual, in order to take care of both parties, she If you don’t feel the same, you should choose not to go to the two villas, or go to the two villas to rest.” "Then, if Susan visits two villas one after another, how do they plan to solve it? They won't become Susan's husband together, right?" "No, the eldest brother and the second brother used some tricks to ensure that they can win in the end. It is for this reason that they gave the two villas the same conditions." "Same conditions?" "That is to say, turn the villa into a 'house of beer'. The first is the bed problem. As I said just now, Susan is very likely to be concerned about the feelings of both parties. She decided not to go to either villa; in order to avoid this situation, the elder brother and The second brother racked his brains to come up with the bait of a single bed." "You just said it well, but can this kind of trick really lead her into the villa?" "Although this method is not foolproof, it is better than nothing. The two of them emptied the villa first, and only laid down a bed; in this way, perhaps Susan would be curious: 'It's strange, the villa has become like this. So, why didn’t the elder brother (or the second elder brother) mention it to me?’ The probability of going inside will increase accordingly. At least try to get her into one of the villas, otherwise how would the game start?” "In other words," Gao Qian stared at me without blinking. "As long as we try to get Susan into one of the villas, she will stop by to go to the other villa in order to take into account the feelings of the other party; at least the possibility will be much higher-this is the wishful thinking of the eldest brother and the second brother?" "That's right. The bed is not only used as a bait, but also has the dual meaning of providing Susan with a rest. The reason why I deliberately left a little toilet paper is also to provide service." "What about the house number? The house number was also agreed to be taken down together by the two parties?" "Of course. In this way, Susan will not be able to tell who the villa in front of her belongs to. This can reduce her encouragement and the feeling of favoritism when she uses the villa. After all, if Susan does not enter the villa, the game will not be possible." Let's start! In this way, the eldest brother and the second brother are fully prepared to increase the chances of Susan's 'reply'." "Is Jiang Zai's statement contradictory, or am I misunderstanding something?" Xiao Tu still seemed displeased and frowned. "From what you said, it seems that the eldest brother and the second brother hope to go to both of Susan's villas, and have made a lot of preparations for it?" "It doesn't seem to be, it is." "But how do we decide the winner? If Susan goes to both villas, who will marry her?" "Beer is for the sake of winning and losing." "what?" "After Susan entered the villa driven by curiosity, she naturally explored the house and found the refrigerator and beer in the room on the second floor. Well, what will she do next?" "How to do...?" Xiaotu cast a questioning look at Gao Qian and Senior Piaoba, and finally shrugged and said, "Do nothing?" "Of course, this is also possible. However, she may be tired and thirsty after riding a bicycle for a whole day on the R plateau, so she will grab a can of beer to drink!" "Well, that's true. But—" "The question is which villa the can of beer was taken from." "Which villa did you get it from..." Xiaotu was speechless, with an expression as if he mistakenly drank bitter tea for cola and was deeply ashamed. "You mean—whose beer she drinks wins?" "The one who didn't drink had to get out - that was their agreement." "The boss has ninety-six cans of beer, but the second one has only ninety-five cans, because Susan chose the second one—" Xiaotu's lips became ∧-shaped, as if the taste of bitter tea still remained in his mouth. "Is that how you see it?" "Of course, she doesn't have a conscious choice. It's just that when she is thirsty and wants to drink, she happens to be the second child. It's just that the eldest brother—that is, the eldest brother has to give in because of this." "Sorry, I have to pick a bone in an egg - what if Susan drank a can of beer in each of the two villas?" "The solution at this time should be the same as when we didn't go to the two villas! In other words, both parties give up. I think the two of them should be familiar with Susan's drinking capacity, so they made this plan. According to common sense Judging, it should be during the daytime if you want to cycle around the plateau. With Susan's drinking capacity and personality, she will not drink several cans of beer in broad daylight. Therefore, they predict that even if Susan wants to drink, she will only take it in one of the villas. Drink from a can." "I roughly understand what you mean; then why prepare four cases of beer? Just two or three cans will be fine!" "But in this way, maybe Susan will be embarrassed to drink!" "Excuse me?" "If there are only two or three cans of beer in the refrigerator, maybe Susan will think this way: 'If there is less beer, you will know that I drank it, so forget it!'" "Ah..." Compared with his state of mind when the boss secretly drank beer (strictly speaking, there was money left for the drink), Xiaotu's expression showed a look of enlightenment. "I see, it's such an embarrassment!" "But there are nearly a hundred cans of beer. As long as you take the empty cans away, you won't be found if you drink one can; the eldest brother and the second brother have prepared so many beers, and hope that Susan can drink them with peace of mind. If only two or three Can, it is clear at a glance which villa Susan has drunk in; in this way, even if she successfully lures Susan into the two villas, if she is concerned about the feelings of both parties and deliberately refuses to drink beer, wouldn't it be a failure?" "Susan thought that as long as she took away the empty cans, she would not be found;" Xiaotu seemed to accept this statement, nodding frequently. "But the eldest brother and the second brother only need to count the number of beers afterwards to know whether there is any shortage-is this the little trick they use?" "Yes. That's what I meant when I said 'House of Beer'. Maybe there are three men competing for Susan—that is, a four-corner relationship. Of course, in this case, the third man is in the R plateau. You have to have a villa too." "Huh? How is it possible!" Xiaotu laughed out loud under the counterforce after agreeing. "What a coincidence!" "If you think about it the other way around, it's precisely because the villas of the three people happen to be concentrated on the R plateau that they came up with this form of 'Russian Roulette'. If one of them had a villa in another location or had no villa at all, they would There should be some other way to decide who backs down, right?" "Well, it can be explained like this..." After Xiaotu's laughter stopped, there was an embarrassing silence like an actor forgetting his words.For me, who had just published my hypothesis, this gap made me feel neglected and uncomfortable. Even I feel incredible.Obviously, I was just blowing my mind while I was in a hurry while I was drunk, but as I talked, I began to feel that this was the most integrated assumption, and it was a self-promotion; I even felt dissatisfied that other people did not show admiration. However, no one clapped for me; it felt as if I couldn't accept it, but I couldn't refute it, so I fell silent. "—Okay," Gao Qian stroked her lips with his fingers, and looked around slowly: "Does anyone else have any comments on Jiang Zai's assumption?" "No! I can barely accept it." "Where's Carpenter? Is there anything to add?" "Basically not. It's just that, as I stated at the beginning, the story of this triangle relationship is only fabricated for the convenience of understanding, and the actual background story may be completely different." "No, I want Susan!" Ever since he was swung on the head by the little rabbit, Senior Liu has settled down; I thought he had fallen asleep, but unexpectedly he came back to life suddenly. "It's not Susan's story I don't want, I don't want, I don't want! Whoa whoa whoa!" I decided to ignore him. "For example, maybe the owner of the villa is a half-brother. In order to inherit the inheritance, they are vying to serve the old father. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of the old father's trip to the plateau, they set up a 'Russian roulette', agreeing to win or lose once. No complaints. In this case, the course of things is still the same as just explained." "I don't want it, I don't want it! They want Susan! Whoa whoa whoa!" "However, there are several unexplainable points in Jiang Zai's hypothesis." Gao Qian coldly ignored the handsome senior who was rolling around on the spot. "First of all, the door lock. The boss is clearly locked, why is the second brother not locked?" "Well..." I carelessly forgot all about this.But—"It should be that Susan forgot to lock it when she left her second child, that's the only possibility." "Too unreasonable." "Why? Human beings are careless animals. No matter how cautious a person is, there will be times of negligence!" "That's right, but Jiang Zai, think about it, the second child is the place where a can of beer is missing; according to Jiang Zai, Susan will worry about the feelings of her elder brother and decide to hide the fact that she drank with the second child , and took the empty can for it. In this case, will she forget to lock the door? For Susan, forgetting to lock it is tantamount to announcing that she has visited the second child; since she will Take away the empty cans because of your feelings, you should be more cautious in this regard!" "Well, well..." This is true.After finding that I had no room to refute, I was stunned and speechless; no, not only was there no room to refute, it completely overturned my hypothesis! No, wait a minute, not necessarily!I changed my mind and thought that when I left my second child, I was extra cautious because of my worries. This is an explanation that can only be applied to Susan. On the contrary, what if the old father who is sandwiched between the half-brothers is replaced?Maybe the father still cares about the feelings of his sons, but he is old, and it is very likely that he will forget to lock the door when he leaves. However, Takachi pursued me as if mocking me who was dying. "I have another question, nothing but beer." "What about the beer?" "You said that you prepared a large amount of beer so that Susan could use it safely; although this reasoning is a bit far-fetched, it is understandable. I will let it go a thousand steps and treat it as such. But I can't help with the refrigerator. Conceded. Why hide the refrigerator in the room on the second floor?" "Well, it's hidden in an unusual place, and the mood will be doubled when you find it; in this way, it may increase the probability of Susan drinking..." "There's no need to do this at all! Don't you understand? If you hide beer in a weird place like the closet, it might make Susan suspicious and afraid to drink it!" "what……" "What's wrong with putting an ordinary fridge in the same place as an ordinary kitchen? Not at all! If you want Susan to drink beer, that's more likely to do it, right?" Exactly.This principle can still be applied to brothers fighting for property or other alternative schemes, as long as the basic premise of using beer for 'Russian Roulette' remains unchanged. "Surrender, I admit defeat." After last night, I was forced to hold the white flag high. "Gao Qian is right, I have absolutely no room to refute." "It's too difficult!" The little rabbit seemed to be tired, and after stretching in the original sitting position, he rubbed his shoulders again. "It's very difficult to come up with a hypothesis that everyone fully agrees with." "That's right!" "Gao Qian, you answered leisurely! Don't just refute others, it's time to express your own opinion? Don't you have any ideas?" "Well, it's not like there isn't one." "What are you doing? Tell me quickly if you have something to say! Don't keep it up." "Before explaining, I want to make sure of one thing—Jiang Zai." "Huh?" At that time, I was opening a new beer humbly, knowing that I had drunk too much, so I was frightened for a moment, thinking that Gao Qian would stop me from drinking. "W-what's the matter?" "You said the eldest had ninety-six cans of beer, and the second had ninety-five, right?" "Yes. What's the matter?" "Is this number correct?" "I guess that's right, it's an impressive difference after all." "Then let me ask you, do you remember how many cans of beer we drank yesterday?" "what……?" "The number of cans of beer we drank at the boss! How many cans?" "Forty-nine cans!" Senior Drifting and Xiao Tu didn't seem to understand why Gao Qian asked such a question, and the three of us looked suspiciously at each other. "sure?" "No mistake, because we deliberately counted the number of cans to calculate the total amount in order to pay for the wine." "I get it, maybe it's true." "What's the matter?" "Maybe we have a big misunderstanding about 'House of Beer'." "What misunderstanding?" "We've been discussing tonight on the premise that there are two Beer Houses, right? Maybe that premise itself is wrong." "What are you talking about?" The lament towards Susan was finally calmed down, and now under the reaction force, the senior's tone became extremely dignified. "What's wrong? There are actually two 'House of Beer'!" "No, I don't think so." Takachi's way of negating was as straightforward as choosing a European-style buffet dish. "I think there's really only one 'House of Beer'."
