Chapter 20: The Town's New Casino
Room 31 Lower Street is brightly lit, bustling and lively. Shouting, singing, scolding, and from time to time there was a shout and a reprimand. A group of men and women carnival here, gambling, singing, laughing, indulging in carnivals, and doing their best to have fun.
When the town entered the eternal night, Tou Tuo and his men invited a group of idle young men and women from the town to eat, drink and have fun here, and he taught them gambling and all kinds of adult games, saying that it was the end of the world, and that living a day was a day, and a happy day was a day. Those young people tried it, and it was really interesting, not only fun, but also very exciting.
There is no entertainment in the town, these are what young people like, they will learn it as soon as they learn it, and they will be addicted to it after a while.
Tou Tuo uses a deck of playing cards as chips, and everything can be used as a bet here, including food and play, and women. Young people who have never been exposed to gambling are fascinated by this game, and they play day and night.
The guy at the table had a green glow in his eyes, staring at the dice tightly, shouting loudly the "big big" he had just learned, shouting and excited when he won, and looking depressed when he lost, waiting for the next round of turnover. In a moment, these people became gamblers, immersed in this exciting game.
A guy who lost so much that he was left with only his underwear had no gambling book, so he had to watch from the sidelines.
The winner was Tou Tuo and his men. The chest was full of treasures, food, cloth, and all kinds of things, and most of all jade. The head shouted to put away the baby and bring it back when he went out. There are not so many good things in the world of the wicked, and some good things have been plundered by the wicked.
"Can we get out?" asked Kaku.
"Why can't you?" said Tou Tuo with confidence, "what do you have to worry about with her and them." β
"Who is she?"
The horn is confused.
"I don't know what happened to her. Tou Tuo said suddenly.
"Do you mean the little girl?" asked Kaku.
"Little goddess!" Tou Tuo corrected viciously.
"Oh, little goddess. β
"How many days is it today?" asked Tou Tuo. The horn was about to reply, when a man came in from outside in a panic and pointed outside: "Chief, they're back." They're all-"
"What are you panicking about?"
The horn reprimanded the man.
"No, they bringβ"
The man didn't know how to describe it, so he let the horn go out and see.
Horn walked out the door, and after a while ran in, shouting excitedly;" Boss, they're back, and they're bringing lights!
"What lamp?"
Tou Tuo asked unfazed as he posed with the boss, playing with Meiyu.
The horn pushed him out the door. In the darkness of the night, walking from the center of the town, a group of red people, each with a lamp on his head, the shape of the lamp was like a butterfly, and they flew with people, and there were children. Some one, some several. The star-lit lights come together, beautiful and bright, illuminating the whole market town.
"Wow, what is this, does everybody have it?
Tou Tuo looked at those beautiful elves, surprised and excited. He was well-informed, but he had never seen such a novel play.
The men ran up and asked them where they got it.
"They flew on their own. β
Everybody says so,
"Why don't we?" asked Jiao'er.
Everyone shook their heads, but no one knew.
Looking at the elves on people's heads, Tou Tuo rolled his eyes and shouted at the young man in the overhead lamp, promoting his gambling game. Immediately, the young men were drawn in.
Tou Tuo held a crystal clear jade in his hand and explained the gameplay.
He patted a person on the shoulder: "It's so fun, it's exciting and enjoyable, you good people have never seen it before." Young people, don't play in vain. β
"You can shout whatever you want, no? I'll teach you! Young man, if you don't know how to play this, it's a wasted life. β
The horn understood what the leader meant, and tried his best to persuade him. And let the townsfolk who have learned tell them. Tou Tuo let them see it first, and when they got addicted, they began to gamble. After watching a few games, someone wanted to play, but there was nothing on them.
"If you don't bring gambling money, just use the butterflies on your heads instead, it's cheaper for you!" Tou Tuo said.
"That's it," Horn chimed in, "I used all the good stuff before! β
Soon someone joined. After playing it once, I found that the joy of gambling is not only in winning or losing, but in the process, it stimulates people's nervous system and makes people excited.
Horns win a bright butterfly. When he reached out to grab the bright worm, the elf dodged and couldn't catch it.
"Hey, you still recognize people!"
Tou Tu said, catalyzing at the bright insect. He'll be a little catalytic, and he'll be okay with these bugs. I saw him keep muttering, which means that if someone wins you in gambling, and you don't rob it, you just quit it or something. The elf reluctantly changed to a new owner.
Horn made a tribute to the first elf. Tou Tuo was holding a bright butterfly on his head, and his face was full of joy. He secretly told his subordinates to quickly win the lamp on the heads of those guys, while they still woke up.
Tou Tuo's subordinates are all veterans in the casino, and it didn't take long for Tou Tuo to have three bright butterflies on his head, and his subordinates also had lights on their heads, squeezing each other's eyebrows and stealing fun.
The guy who lost the lamp had no gambling money, so he had to watch others gamble. The grumpy anger ran out of light, and he was in a hurry to get angry, chasing after Tou Tuo to ask him to pay him back.
"Brother, this is a casino, there is a saying that you are willing to gamble and lose, how can you lose and go back, then it's not messed up?"
He didn't know any of this, he just felt that the light was the most important.
"Why don't I give you something else?"
Tou Tuo just shook his head. In this town of eternal night, he lacks nothing, only light. He took the torch he had used before and lit it to Wrath.
"This one works just as well. β
Of course, he knew that this was far inferior to Bright Butterfly, but he had no choice but to take the torch. He shouted to the friends who lost the light, they didn't want to leave yet.
The horn took a handful of cards and lent them them, and the guys went back to gambling with their eyes glowing.
"You're going to lose until you don't have your pants to wear, aren't you?"
Angry gritted his teeth and scolded, no one paid attention to him. The friends who usually listen to him the most only look down at the flying dice, and shout "big, big, small, small!" in their mouths, without looking at him. He stepped forward to pull him, and he shook his hand and almost fell.
"Die here!"
Angry, he reluctantly walked out of the casino.
In the town, the people were as busy as ever with the glowing fireflies on their heads, and they looked at the beautiful, bright and undazzling elves on their heads, and followed their masters closely, and then looked at the torches of the primitive era in their hands, and they were even more angry. Several children ran past him after each other, and he stretched out his hand to take the lamp from their heads, but each time they deftly dodged it, and when they were finished, they winked mischievously at him and grimaced, and looked at them angrily, and suddenly felt a sense of mystery and loss.
They have a soul and are not just lighting. And he easily sold them.
Although the world of good people is still eternal night, because everyone has butterflies, the lighting is enough. The town has been using the light of the sun and the moon, and there is no manpower and electricity, so this has not affected daily production and life, and the town has resumed normal life and work. It doesn't matter if you don't know day and night, there is a huge bell hanging in the street in the town, and people will make the bell ring, and the bell will ring, and it will be comfortable.
Alone in the darkness, he was now a fringe man in town. There is no lamp on the head, but fortunately everyone has it, and through other people's eyes, it can be seen. He tried to hide from people as much as possible, and what he wanted most now was not to be seen by the townspeople. In the town, he is considered to be the most face-saving, and he is also the worst-tempered in the town. But now, he's not even as a child.
Angry walked endlessly, out of the town. With his usual familiarity with the town, he groped his way in the dark to a darker place. He wanted to go to the Maha Cliffs and experience what it was like to jump off a cliff again. At this moment, it was the place he wanted to go the most. Even if he could fall to his death, he was willing.
He stretched out his feet in the dark, but fortunately there were no fetters, and even in the darkness he would not touch anything. This was designed by the master back then, and he made this place a comfortable paradise.
"I just didn't expect how to solve the black screen. β
Indignant and indignant. Before, he worshipped the founder of the good man world.
Suddenly, angry's eyes lit up, and a butterfly flew towards him, hovering over his head for a while, and fixed on top of his head. I was overjoyed, thinking that the previous firefly had returned.
