It's an idiom, an idiom of Chen Huilai's world.
It used to mean that before diving into a place at night, you should first cast stones to see if there is any reaction, so as to detect the situation.
This idiom is used as a metaphor to explore.
If what Jiuyan said is true, then Chen Hui is the stone that was thrown out to test, and the person who threw the stone is Su Yin.
Chen Hui never thought that it was su Yin's trial to tell Jiuyan about the world he came from and the records of Qingqiu?
"What is she testing again?" Chen Hui asked with a silent sigh.
"To know what she's testing, I have to answer the question you asked at dinner." With a sly smile on his face, Jiu Yan said, "what do you think? I'm answering you? Still can't say? "
Hearing Jiuyan's words and seeing Jiuyan's cunning smile, Chen Hui fully understood the question he asked, which is why the dispute between the two lineages of fox clan is so serious.
Although Su Yin and Jiu Yan both show that they don't want to fight with each other among fox families, from what Jiu Yan said, that is, Jiu Wei Hu and Tian Hu have looked down on each other's living habits, which shows that the problem is actually very serious. What was originally very small, not the problem of spear and shield, has evolved into a contradiction.
Even if there is no war, the fox race's blood orthodox struggle is more serious than imagined.
Moreover, from Jiuyan's cunning smile, I'm afraid that there is something else hidden in the fox clan's blood orthodox dispute, which involves other secrets of the fox clan.
Because nine Yan with two questions, one is to answer Chen Hui's question, there is a question can not say.
Su Yin must know the internal cause, because she is one of the two blood lines of the Fox family, but she did not mention any secrets to Chen Hui. This is because Su Yin is a person who abides by the rules. There must be a rule of keeping secrets in the rules of the Fox family.
Therefore, Su Yin pushed Chen Hui out and asked Chen Hui to tell Jiuyan about his world records about Qingqiu. Naturally, the topic would be related to the dispute of fox blood orthodox. Based on Su Yin's understanding of Chen Hui, Chen Hui would naturally ask this question.
Su Yin also achieved the purpose of casting a stone to ask the way.
Chen Hui's feeling at this time is very awkward. Although it's appropriate to use this idiom to describe Chen Hui's state at this time, Chen Hui feels that he has been taken by Su Yin as a gunner.
Although it's not harmful to anyone, Su Yin keeps Chen Hui in the drum, so as to achieve her purpose of using Chen Hui.
This is an indisputable fact!
"What? Is this feeling very uncomfortable? " Nine Yan a pair of schadenfreude smile, said: "today he sent you during the day, you are still affectionate, now found that they have been used, the taste is not good?"
Chen Hui had no choice but to smile and said, "it's true that she's not uncomfortable. I always thought she was a very disciplined person. I didn't expect that she would make use of others."
"If you use it or not, it's also a scoring situation!" Nine Yan grinned and said: "I've always been disobeying the rules, isn't it?"
"You seem to be unruly, but there must be a bottom line in your heart that you can't touch." Chen Hui laughed and said, "you are really insincere when you say that! The people who have seen you today can see that the people you use are all flattering to you. However, they are very capable. Otherwise, they are rushing to grab cloth. Is that not a mess? "
After a pause, Chen Hui went on to say, "but when you distribute the cloth today, everyone has a clear idea of how much they will take. From this point of view, your people actually have a good sense of self-consciousness, which should be related to your bottom line. I think if there is a mess today, your punishment for the people who have caused the mess is also quite serious!"
"Or are you clever?" Jiuyan sighed and said: "anyway, I'm not used to Su Yin. I'm too tired. How good is it like me? Free and comfortable, even if I go out for a long time, my ethnic group will not have any conflicts! She can't do it. Once she leaves the group for too long, she will worry. I won't! "
"Even if there is a conflict, your people will not let you know. They will solve it in private." Chen Hui said with a smile: "you and Su Yin have two different attitudes towards ethnic management. If you have to make an evaluation, Su Yin's people respect her more, while your people are afraid of you. Although the effect is similar, even if you think you are much easier than Su Yin, there are differences in essence!"
"What's the difference?" Nine Yan immediately asks a way.
"You can't see anything at ordinary times. It's only in extreme cases that you can make a difference!" Chen Hui said.
"Come on, I'm listening!" Nine Yan says with a smile.
"For example, in a certain situation, there are people who are higher than your accomplishments in your two respective ethnic groups!" Chen Hui said, "it's just a metaphor. Don't take it seriously."
"And then?" Nine Yan ordered to nod to ask a way.
"Then there may be different situations. Suyin is respected by her people, so the possibility of trouble is very low. But on your side, people are afraid of you. Once they have higher accomplishments than you, the possibility of trouble is much higher than that of Suyin." Chen Hui said.
Hearing what Chen Hui said, Jiuyan thought for a long time in silence and said, "what you said is very reasonable. However, I will never let this extreme situation happen!"
After a meal, nine Yan said: "well, don't say this, say back to Su Yin!"
Chen Hui is puzzled to see which nine Yan you choose. She doesn't know what nine Yan means by saying this, because she already knows that Su Yin is using Chen Hui to test her attitude. What else to say?
It's nothing to do with Chen Hui.
Chen Hui sighed helplessly and said, "this has nothing to do with me, right? When you talk to me about Su Yin, there's nothing you can talk about? "
"I'll tell you, it's interesting!" Nine Yan thief Xi Xi's smile for a while, lowered a voice, said: "this wench's courage is bigger than me, moreover, she uses you to test my meaning, in fact, she doesn't want to obey the rules, but, she still dare not tell me, you say interesting?"
"No?" Chen Hui asked in surprise.
