After drawing lots, seven people couldn't look at them first for fairness. Each opened their lot when it was their turn.
"Riddle: A hint of chill arrives in the fog, guess the season, the answer is Winter Solstice."
"Riddle: None of a hundred is right, guess the season, the answer is White Dew."
"Riddle: The courtyard is deep with narrow alleys, guess the idiom, the answer is Domestic Trivialities."
"Riddle: This mouse is not big, guess a surname, the answer is Sun."
"…"
"…"
The first six people all answered the riddles comfortably, and finally it was Li Chuntao's turn. She unfolded the paper strip, and her thin lips parted, "Riddle: The scenery changes near home, guess a character, the answer is Green."
