I stood on the street and watched for a while.

After a while, I picked out an old man who walked on crutches from the crowd, and seemed to me to be kinder in the face of each other, and I was going to come up and ask him.

I stepped forward and saluted him, "Uncle, can you tell me where the most lively gambling house in town is?" “

When the old man saw me saluting, his first reaction was a smile on his face.

After listening to my question, the old man suddenly changed his face and said, "How can you not learn well when you are young!" "You want to go to that kind of place!" "Boy, listen to me," the old man looked at me with a serious expression, "it's a place for money, and there is no return for money." “

Hey, I knew there was this one later, and I had to watch the line carefully when I passed by the gambling house!

If I could remember where to stay, I wouldn't have to ask him about the old man.

This is the sorrow of a road idiot! "You misunderstood," I pondered, fearing that the old man would not give me directions in anger, so I had to clear my mind, "You don't know, my eldest brother likes to gamble." “

I sighed and said, "I took my mother's money to buy cloth from my house early this morning and went to the town to gamble." ”

"My mother asked me to go to the gambling house to get him back," I said with a puzzled look on my face, "We live in a neighboring village. ”

"But the first time I came back to the gambling house to look for him, I didn't know the way at all," I bowed my head and said Ai Ai, "that's why I asked you how the gambling house should go!" “

When the old man heard this, his expression eased slightly, and he sighed and said, "So that's the case." "Okay. I'll tell you, go along this street and go north at the second junction," the old man pointed me in the direction. "When you go there, you see the alley on the edge of the stone bridge, and you see the place where the red lantern is hung, and that's the gambling house you're looking for."

I silently remembered it in my heart, and then I thought about it again, and what the old man said really coincided with the realm in the impression I had walked before!

When the boy took me through the town, I was just interested in watching the excitement, although I passed by the gambling house. But I didn't deliberately remember it.

But when I saw it, I was somewhat impressed, it should be the place that the old man said.

I withdrew my gaze. Hurriedly thanked the old man: "Thank you for showing me the way, I'll go to my brother." ”

"Wait," said the old man, seeing that I was leaving, grabbed my arm. "Boy. When you get to the gambling house, if you find your brother after you enter the door, don't just tell him to go back with you or anything like that. "Don't make a lot of noise in the gambling house."

The old man said to me with a serious expression.

"Why is that?" I was stunned and looked at the old man and asked.

What he meant by that, I was a little confused by him for a while.

"It's not just people in the gambling house who go to play, and many of them are their own people," the old man frowned and explained to me, "if it gets noisy." Maybe you'll get a fist! ”

"Look at your weak appearance, but you can't stand the beating!"

The old man looked at me worriedly. Say to me.

With a fever in my heart, I said to the old man gratefully, "Please give me a few words, what should I do?" ”

"You just go in, find your eldest brother, and quietly let him out, just say that there is an emergency, and when he gets out of the gambling house, it is not too late for you to reason with him and then arrest him back."

"Good!" I nodded and said, "I remember everything you said, and I'll do what you say when the time comes, thank you." ”

In the direction that the old man said, I walked along this street, and soon I came to the second intersection.

Then I went north, and saw in the distance the small alley on the edge of the stone bridge, and there were so many people entering it, and I knew that this was the place I was looking for.

I was about to walk along the road when a thought occurred in my mind.

Looking around, I saw straw hats selling at street stalls, so I walked over and crouched down to ask for the price and picked them up, and finally bought the cheapest one to wear on my head.

I thought that a place like a gambling house was not a good place after all, and it was likely to cause trouble, so I could be a temporary cover.

The hat is blocked, and the clothes I am wearing are ordinary, so it also adds a little safety factor in case I go in.

I made up my mind and walked along the entrance of the alley.

There is a red lantern hanging at the door of the gambling house, which at first glance looks a bit like that place, but the difference is that the guests are greeted at the door, not the girls who are showy.

I paused at the door, then took a deep breath and walked in.

Naturally, it was much more lively inside than outside, and the tables were full of people.

The shouts and cheers from time to time were almost like the rhythm of tearing down the roof!

I quietly walked around the crowd, looking at the tables in turn, and seeing the people having fun.

After going through almost the entire casino, I finally settled on a guess point bet.

Compared to some of the bets that I can't even name, this one seems to be simpler and clearer.

What's more, listening is still a bit advantageous, not only that, but the element of luck is also very important.

I decided to give my luck a try, for no other purpose than to scrape together the money for a meal and a carriage.

Although it costs a little money to add up, compared to the gamblers here who spend a lot of money at every turn, this amount of money is actually not enough.

For gambling houses, big business is much more important than small business

Out of the alley, it was only half an hour, and this time I was more familiar with the road of the town than when I came.

Standing in the street, I made sure I was coming from again, and hurried to where the restaurant was.

Before leaving, I specially told the boy to eat slowly and wait for me to come back.

As long as he doesn't make a mistake, he should be waiting for me in the store right now.

He must have known that I was going to find a way to raise money

Seeing that I still had to cross a long street, I thought back to the route I had taken. Suddenly I remembered that there was a small alley in the middle, which seemed to connect the streets on both sides.

I didn't hesitate too long, and in order to get back to the restaurant as soon as possible, I immediately decided to take a shortcut.

When I approached the alley. It was empty, walking and walking, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong.

I soon realized that someone was following me.

Suddenly, my back sank, and I held my breath and slowed down to listen to the movement behind me.

Sure enough, someone was following me!

How so? I've only been in town for a morning, so why did I summon the "tail" to follow me?

I don't understand. My mind turned, and I suddenly remembered the handfuls I had won in the gambling house just now, didn't I take a fancy to my money bag?

Think about it this way. It suddenly made sense!

The other party must have lost red-eyed, but seeing that I was thin and won some silver, I had bad intentions in my heart.

Seeing me walking the path, the other party is afraid that it is too late to be happy!

Just enough to rob a handful. Fold back and flip through!

I frowned. He quickened his pace, and the man behind him really walked a little faster.

Now, I can be sure that the other party is following my "tail", there is no doubt!

It's still a bad idea, and I want to rob money in broad daylight!

The alley is not long, and it is impossible for him to get to the street if he wants to, and he will definitely get out of this alley before I get out of it.

I understand this, and the "tail" behind me obviously understands it too.

I heard footsteps behind me quicken because the alley was about to emerge ahead.

Pass by the doorway of a house. There were scattered bricks on the ground.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and the man behind him rushed up. I just slapped it with my hand!

I'm narrowly out of the picture! Good guys, such big bricks!

I saw a pile of bamboos right in front of me, which was about to be used to repair the house.

Flying over, I pushed the pile of bamboos back, and the unlucky ghost behind me suddenly heard a shout of "oops".

I didn't even bother to look back, I ran out of the alley with one breath, threw away my straw hat and went out into the street, my heart beating so hard!

I was afraid that the other party would have a helper, so I identified the way and walked quickly in the direction of the restaurant.

The one who eats in the restaurant is my companion anyway, and this is what he said himself.

Although his skills are only thirty percent, he is more than enough to deal with such an unpopular little minion.

I've got to get to him quickly!

When I approached the restaurant, I saw a lot of people coming out of it.

I walked past them and saw the boy sitting with his head bowed against the wall.

There wasn't much to eat on the table.

The focus of foodies is sucked away by the dishes on the table after reading the people!

As I entered, he looked up, and saw that I was in a hurry, and stood up to look at me.

I hurriedly walked over, pressed him on the chair, patted myself in horror and said, "It was so dangerous just now, I was almost shot with a brick!" ”

The young man was stunned, looked at me and asked, "Who is it?!" ”

"Hey, don't mention it, it's bad luck," I waved my hand helplessly, "No, I should say it's not bad." ”

I reached out and took the money bag out of my arms, put it on the table in front of him, and said, "That's it." ”

The young man opened his eyes and said hesitantly: "Xiaoling, where did you get it in such a short time?" Wouldn't it be?"

I was talking about being slapped with bricks, and instinctively made him have some kind of association.

I looked at him speechlessly for a few seconds, my eyes fell on his face, and then said, "You can do it, I won't do that, you think too much!" ”

I leaned over and smiled, "I don't have to lie to you, I won this money from the gambling house." ”

As soon as the words fell, the boy reached out and patted me on the head and said, "Xiaoling, you are really" "How can you go to the gambling house?!" “

The teenager's tone was stern.

I looked at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Otherwise, if you want to make money in such a short time, you have to be able to give birth, you can tell me a good way." ”

I slandered the boy a few words in my heart, this guy didn't make a lot of effort and said cool things, I really wanted to put his mouth on a plaster!

Extraordinary times are very actual, and informality is!

The young man was dumbfounded for a while, and only after a while did he say: "Xiaoling, how can you think that you can win by going in alone, in case you lose?" ”

"How can I be so moldy, basically not." I said confidently, "And I take it when I see it, and I never stay too long!" "Sounds like you're not going back to the gambling house for the first time, Xiaoling?" The teenager asked. "You guessed it!" I shook my head mysteriously and grinned at him, "Win a lot, okay?!" “

The big stone in my heart fell, and I looked at the dishes on the table that didn't move a few chopsticks and asked the young man puzzled: "I didn't let you eat slowly, wait for me." ”

"How do you have so many leftovers?"

I can't figure out what the hell this guy is thinking!

Isn't he hungry? There are so many dishes left, I just look at the appearance of these dishes, and I think the chefs of this restaurant are doing well!

The craftsmanship is qualified! "Isn't it waiting for you?" The boy lowered his head and said, "You said it." "Even if you have a conscience, you know that I have a hard time gambling." I smiled and winked at him, turned my head to see the running hall standing not far away, and immediately beckoned him to come over. "Add me a bowl of rice."

The goodness of running the hall was like a stream, and he immediately helped me add it.

Tossing back and forth, I feel that the few bites of rice I ate have been digested, and now I come back and continue, and I can't waste such an expensive dish!

Especially the steamed fish that they called the town store dish, the whole one was so good that it didn't move.

I looked at the fish as if I were looking at silver.

Stretching out my chopsticks and trying it, I shook my head and said, "It's still cold, the taste is average, and it's best when it's about to come out of the pot." “

I regretfully removed my chopsticks and moved on to two other dishes.

The young man paid attention to my actions, and when he saw this, he said, "Xiaoling, you like to eat so much, I'll just make it up to you next time." ”

"Really?" I pursed my lips and looked at the boy and asked.

"Of course it's true," the young man said in a serious and solemn tone, "Xiaoling, when you arrive in Suzhou, you can eat delicious food, I'm afraid you won't go with me." ”

"Who said I wouldn't go with you, you see, we will go to hire a carriage together when we finish eating," I snapped my fingers and said, "I have to go to Suzhou together, and when I get there, you want to invite me to dinner, how can I not agree!" ”

I replied casually while eating.

The young man suddenly stretched out his hand and asked, "A word is a certainty?" ”

I slapped his hand away, and I couldn't take it off, and he reached out again.

"Okay, a word is a certainty, right?" I had to slap him on the palm by the way

"What a shame that fish!" I walked out of the restaurant and couldn't help but mutter, "It's so expensive, I missed it." “

The young man smiled lowly, looking in a good mood: "Xiaoling, what are you regretting, I said that I will make it up to you." "Don't talk about this, look at it, which way should we go?" I stood on the street, looking a little confused. "Xiaoling, you don't know the way, you don't know the direction, how did you find it just now?"

The boy looked at me in surprise and asked. "Needless to say, of course I'm asking people passing by," I said, glancing at him, and replied quickly, almost without thinking. (To be continued......)
