Chapter 182: Odds
All the female contestants climbed the elevated elevated poles, some of which were covered with flowers, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air with the gentle movement of the donkeys.
Surrounded by hundreds of spectators, almost all of the contestants found their place. Many people were comforting their donkeys, and someone took out a water bag and poured the white liquid into the bowl, which seemed to be fresh milk, but there was the smell of nectar wafting inside......
The race course is the outer ring of the peace town, and when the referee standing on the high platform gives the order to start, everyone drives clockwise around the peace town, and the first to go around for a week, and the champion who returns to the starting point is the champion. The champion not only wins the highest honor in the town, but also receives a huge prize money.
If you stand on the elevated road at this time, you can see from a distance, and the track used for the race is getting narrower and narrower, so it can be expected that when you really compare, it will definitely become more and more intense.
After the annual crash competition, everyone pays to renovate the road near Heping Town, which also makes the race track wider and wider, enough for seven or eight elevated crash cars to drive side by side. The runway was smooth and dry, and almost all the potholes were filled, so the young people in the peaceful town got up before dawn to solve the hidden dangers caused by the heavy rain.
At this time, there were already spectators running hundreds of meters away, occupying the first inflection point of the runway, which will also become an important inflection point for everyone, and after that inflection point, the runway has become a width that can only allow four elevated crashes to be side-by-side.
The crowd was noisy, and Zhu Tian stood on the base of the crash, holding the horizontal beam that stabilized his body with one hand, and holding the reins that controlled the direction with the other. He looked back and saw Emma sitting slumped on the elevated shelf. He immediately climbed up the elevated road in three or two, looking at the expressionless little Lori in front of him, Zhu Tian pointed at her head with his index finger and said, "You hold yourself up, don't fall off, you know?"
Emma looked up and saw that the female contestants who were on the same level as her were standing on the elevated platform with a cheerful face, waving to the nearby spectators, as if they were participating in a military parade. A golden elevated car was closest to her, and the girl in the white dress with a wreath on it met her gaze, and Emma suddenly shuddered as she looked at the contemptuous smile that rippled into her lips.
She hurriedly turned around and found that Zhu Tian was also looking at the garland girl on the golden elevated shelf.
"Are you afraid?" Zhu Tian looked at Emma indifferently.
Emma was silent, but the resistance, pleading, helplessness, and fear in those big eyes were unmistakable.
"If you're afraid, come down, come down!" The last two words Zhu Tian shouted out.
A gust of wind blew through her shoulders, blowing her brown hair over her shoulders. Emma's eyes widened and she opened her mouth, but she swallowed back the words that came to her lips.
Under the gaze of the other elevated girls, she slowly stood up from the elevated height, she thought she would not be so afraid, but she still underestimated her fear of the heights, fortunately they were too far apart, she should not see her legs trembling. When she stood up, she didn't know what position to use when she was holding there, and she looked left and right at the other girls......
"If you have the ability, don't fall down. After Zhu Tian left a sentence, he turned his head and jumped directly from the elevated road.
After grasping the reins that controlled the direction, he cast his gaze into the distance.
The golden elevated crash car driven by the little duke was right next to him, and in the audience's field of vision, one of the most luxurious crash cars and one of the most ugly crash cars in the field looked particularly dazzling.
"That's a yodelman! Look at the dirty girl on the shelf, it's brown-haired. ”
"Yes, poor yodelman!"
"Isn't standing with the little duke looking for death?"
"I heard that there was originally an Odin woman who was going to participate in the competition with him, but then I heard that this arrogant guy provoked the little duke, and the Odin woman ran away directly!"
"Hahahaha!
The little duke looked at Zhu Tian meaningfully, but Zhu Tian chose to ignore his gaze and looked at the big black foot in front of him expressionlessly.
What's the point of staring at a dying person......
The crowd of onlookers kept shouting, and the cheering never stopped. Troubadours and singers occupy the best spots, singing a hymn or two from time to time, letting the beautiful phrases flow in the twilight and sunset.
An aunt who sells sweet potatoes sold out all the sweet potatoes in her cloth pocket early, and she walked to the gambling table with the five copper coins she earned today: "I want to bet, can I still bet now?" She had never been involved in such a thing and did not understand the process.
"It's going to be a game soon!" a red-haired Chia rebuked impatiently, seeing that it was a stocky Aunt Yodelman.
"Oh. "Aunt Ekfi never touched the brows of the Odin and Chia, and turned away.
"Wait. A middle-aged man with a ledger in his hand called out to Aunt Eckfield. He said: "Ma'am, please forgive him for his rudeness, it is still possible to bet now." ”
"I recognize you, Mr. Dosol, you have a carpenter's shop in Peace Square. Unfortunately, there is a warning in front of your house that says 'Brown-haired people and brown-haired dogs are not allowed', so I haven't had a chance to go in and see it, even though I probably don't have enough money to buy furniture for your home. I think the things inside are extraordinary, and I sometimes wonder if the gold furniture sung by the poet can be seen in your home. ”
"......" Dosol stared into the eyes of the god Eckfield, as if trying to discern whether there was a mockery in them. "There's no time, so please bet quickly. ”
"Oh! I'm going to buy that golden crash...... The one next to it!"
The errand runner next to him sneered, "Well, Auntie, I persuade you to think about it! We didn't press whoever went out first in the gambling game hahahaha!" The group of gamblers next to him suddenly laughed.
"Shut up. Dosol scolded him.
"I have five copper coins, and I'm going to press him to win. Aunt Ekfei said.
"Hmm...... I'm looking for it, and his name is ...... Zhu Tian, the odds are one to ...... Thousand. Dosol looked through the ledger and checked the autograph slip again, "He's the one with the highest odds in this game, and the one with the highest odds ever in crash games, and he only has ten silver coins on him at the moment. He shook his head, as if anticipating something, and sighed.
"Wait, is his name Zhu Tian? Are you sure?" Aunt Eckfield looked at the familiar figure on the field, thoughtful.
"Yes, his name is Zhu Tian, he has no surname, and he is the only Yodelman in the audience. ”
"Uh...... Well, what are odds? I don't understand. ”
Well...... Dosol looked at the flat eyes again, and made sure that she was not here to look for trouble, and said helplessly: "If you press one copper coin, if he wins the championship, you can win a thousand copper coins, and if you press five copper coins, you can win five thousand copper coins in the end." He thought to himself, you don't have any chance of getting your bet back from here.
"Then I'll add two more silver coins!" Hearing this, Eckfield didn't think about it, and immediately took out a piece of silk cloth from the cloth pocket on her chest, and there were only two silver coins in it, and her fat hand did not hesitate, and handed them all over.
......
Finally, before the red sun sets over the horizon, the race officially begins!
