Chapter 177: Gambling and Resignation to Destiny (3)
The onlookers coaxed in agreement, and the parties agreed, and the fortune teller silently retreated, touched a needle, and sandwiched it between his fingers, wondering whether it was better to let the crickets die violently, or to let people die violently and never suffer later?
If the cricket suddenly dies, everyone will be able to see the cat, and it seems that they can only do it to people. The fortune teller sneered at Tao Zhenzhi.
Tao Zhenzhi's little boy put the cricket into a deep butterfly, and poured half a finger deep water, this cricket is really magical, just stay in the water and don't jump out, but occasionally "squeak" a few times, looking very comfortable.
Tao Zhenzhi pretended to be generous, "I bought the cricket, so let this little brother guess first." ”
It's just a cricket, it's just a person, Zhen Duoduo can also make people move according to her wishes, otherwise she wouldn't have proposed to bet on this fate.
However, just the cricket jumped out and guessed the time correctly, which was not enough to hit Tao Zhenzhi, and Zhen Duoduo brought out the fortune teller's remarks again.
She said with a little god-like posture, "I see that you have a bad year this year, you can knock stones to death when you walk, you can choke to death when you eat, and this cricket will also be caught by you, and you will drown in water." ”
The crowd laughed, and one of them said, "If this cricket can drown in such shallow water today, I will eat this cricket." ”
The person next to him coaxed, "Yue Laosan, what is it to eat crickets, and you have eaten this plate of crickets."
Yue Laosan couldn't stand the agitation of others, his face turned red, "Just eat, anyway, I don't believe that crickets will drown." ”
Zhen Duoduo also smiled happily and said, "Then I'll wait for you to eat the plate in a while, tell me what it tastes like, isn't it crunchy?"
Zhong Lexin tugged at Zhen Duoduo's sleeve and said, "You are serious, don't want your life?"
Tao Zhenzhi looked at Zhen Duoduo with pity in her eyes, she was looking for her own ideas, if the cricket didn't listen to the command and jumped out, it was possible, but if she drowned, it would be pure laughter.
The cricket seller told him that in order to make this little thing obey the instructions, the crickets were raised by soaking in such deep water. Tao Zhenzhi smiled and said, "Then I guess this cricket will jump out in a quarter of an hour."
Everyone surrounded the table and chatted and waited for the result.
Tao Zhenzhi lifted the tea cup, hit the tea leaves on the surface with the lid, took a small sip, and said to Zhong Lexin with a smile, "Do you want your little boy to die?"
Although Tao Zhenzhi is betting against Zhen Duoduo, his goal has always been to Zhong Lexin.
Zhong Lexin's voice was cold without a trace of popularity, "She won't die if you die"
Tao Zhenzhi didn't care about Zhong Lexin's attitude at this time, he said to himself, "Actually, if you are willing to kneel down and beg me, maybe I will let your little boy go." ”
Zhen Duoduo is really tired of Tao Zhenzhi's disdain, she wants to see if Tao Zhenzhi has a good gamble after losing the gambling game, and whether he is willing to gamble and lose.
I just want to be sorry for this little cricket, in the next life, be a good cricket, don't mix with other people's bets, and lose your life in vain.
Tao Zhenzhi's little boy said, "Young Master, it's been half an hour." ”
Tao Zhen looked like he was holding the winning ticket, and he smiled very openly.
Zhen Duoduo secretly used the Imperial Technique and held down the cricket's head.
"Something is wrong, are you looking at the little thing struggling?"
"Oops, it's really flooded. ”
"It's strange that the water is so shallow, and it pops out all at once, how can it be"33
When Tao Zhen heard this, he shook his head and pushed away the people at the table regardless of his demeanor.
The crickets' heads were dipped in water, and their wings fluttered. His legs were also moving, obviously drowning in water, Tao Zhenzhi's nails were pinching, and even if he pinched his hands to bleed, he couldn't change the development of the situation.
After a while, the cricket floated on the water, stretched out its legs, and did not move.
Tao Zhenzhi pointed at Zhen Duoduo, his fingers trembled, "It's your poison." ”
This kid's gambling is not good, Zhen Duoduo is relieved, but he is a child of a few years old, Zhen Duoduo really won't force people to die because of a few verbal disputes, take the upper hand, let the snake spirit disease young master relieve his anger, forget it.
If Tao Zhenzhi really wants to die or live and commit suicide to complete the gambling contract, she will really be worried.
Zhong Lexin's heart that he had been carrying finally let go, the tiger head was too exciting to play, and he gambled with others at every turn, and his little heart almost couldn't bear it.
Winning the bet at this time, even if Zhong Lexin doesn't want Tao Zhenzhi's life, he will inevitably have a poisonous tongue. "Tao Zhenzhi, you still call yourself a hero, a young man from Yu'an Town, but you cheat when you lose, don't you even have the courage to gamble and lose?
It seems that I really want to get to know you again, you are not worthy of being my opponent to compete with me, and I will retreat when I meet the young master in the future."
Tao Zhen was silent, the Tao family was a big family in Yu'an Town, Mrs. Ling of Siping County was still Tao Zhenzhi's aunt, and no one on the lookers spoke out to let Tao Zhenzhi fulfill the gambling contract.
The fortune teller saw that Zhen Duoduo had no intention of pursuing it, so he would not intervene again, and he didn't look at Tao Zhenzhi's life or death at all.
The man who said that if the cricket drowned, he would eat the plate was taken out and told the story.
"Yue Laosan, come and eat a plate. ”
"Yue Laosan, if you say this, you don't want to lick it back again, do you?"
"Come, Yue Laosan, let everyone see that you are a man who speaks his word and is iron-clad, I will burn paper for you today next year"
Everyone laughed at Yue Laosan, but Tao Zhenzhi's face hurt like a slap.
Yue Laosan slapped the table vigorously and shouted, "Who said I regretted it." I mean what I say," he picked up the plate, looking like he was dead.
Everyone didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and they all waited to see how Yue Laosan ate this plate.
As a result, he took the plate, looked around the crowd, and ran away, saying, "I'll take it home first, think about it, is this plate fried or steamed?"
Everyone laughed and left everyone's sight, Yue Laosan snorted lightly, when he was stupid, he still ate the plate.
But today's bet is really mysterious, and he has been watching from the side and has not seen how this cricket died.
Looking at the plate in his hand and the dead crickets on it, he rolled his eyes and walked towards an alley, turning a few corners. Entered a small inconspicuous liquor store.
After a while, Yue Laosan came out with a smile with two big ingots of twenty taels, but the plate and crickets were gone.
After Zhen Duoduo and Zhong Lexin left, the onlookers also dispersed. Tao Zhenzhi sat on the chair in despair, looking at the half-carved door that was lying down in a daze.
Zhong Lexin and Zhen Duoduo returned to their box, the dishes on the table had been changed, and they were steaming hot, worthy of the treatment of the young owner, and they couldn't be more thoughtful.
Zhen Duoduo was fighting and gambling this morning, and he was hungry by now.
