•Guess Who I Am

The others may not have the nerve to but You Huo did.

He said: "That piece with the tattoo was placed at the top. It should be eye-catching. You didn't see?"

Qin Jiu laughed exasperatedly: "You did that to deliberately disgust me yet you expect me to look at it carefully?"

He fiddled with the dolls leg and looked at the tattoo again: "Besides.......If I answered you honestly, would that be counted as extra help?"

You Huo took away the doll: "If you can't remember, forget it."

The others had not been in the confinement room, so they didn't know what kind of riddle they were talking about. They didn't dare interrupt.

As an alcoholic, Old Yu's hands trembled terribly.

He picked up a thick needle and tried to thread it again and again. Five minutes passed and he was still unsuccessful.

Yu Wen watched him and finally couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed it over.

"Drink, drink, drink. Now look at yourself! You can no longer keep your hands and feet steady. You did this to yourself."

He muttered this as he helped his father thread the needle before throwing it back.

The others also threaded theirs and got ready to sew.

Only Yu Yao remained sitting there in daze. She whispered: "I find these dolls a little strange. I'm scared. Can I not sew?"

He voice was too quiet. It almost disappeared before it left her throat.

The only person who heard it was Old Yu who sat closest to her.

Old Yu hesitated for a moment. He wanted to reassure her.

He then heard You Huo said: "Wait."

He said it too suddenly and everyone was startled. They quickly stopped and looked at him blankly.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Chen Bin asked.

You Huo walked over to the bamboo basket and bent over.

He pulled out a few arms, legs and heads before throwing it back in.

"Don't sew." He patted off the dust from his hand.

"Why?" Liang Yuanhao who had not spoken much couldn't help but ask.

You Huo pointed at the bamboo basket: "The fabric in here are almost the same and all are grey but those that are completed on the wooden frame have very different coloured arms and legs."

Lian Yuanhao frowned: "So what?"

"Nothing. Just felt it's strange." You Huo straightened up.

Chen Bin could tell that these examinees all listened to You Huo's words.

He held Liang Yuanhao back and smiled awkwardly at You Huo: "That colour.......indeed is a little strange but the black widow asked us to sew it. If we didn't are you certain nothing will happen?"

You Huo: "Not certain."

Chen Bin: ".........."

Liang Yuanhao still wanted to say something, but Chen Bin grabbed him and shook his head.

"How can you be 100% certain about anything? It's up to you whether you want to listen." You Huo originally didn't have much patience. The old witch's nonsense language was already annoying enough.

After he said that, he dragged a chair over to the hearth and silently started to warm himself up with the fire.

"Brother........You're really not sewing?" Yu Wen held the doll and asked him carefully.
