Chapter 46: Conspiracy (5)
"Erlang, I advise you to stop gambling! If we win, we don't dare to ask for it~" Lao Zhuang used his mellow tone to "kindly persuade" "So everything you lost before was written off, how about it?" β
The thick eyebrows are lightly raised, ostensibly persuasion, but in fact they are full of irony. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If Wu Yuanshuang was sober in a sober situation, he could still distinguish this inferior radical method, but he had already been carried away by winning or losing, and he was already unable to make a correct judgment!
"Yes! Erlang, let's go back! You can't win against him! Beside him, that Brother Rong also tried hard to dissuade him, but the more he listened, the more awkward he felt?
"Brother Rong, let's talk about the last game!" Wu Yuanshuang did not completely ignore his friend's words, but stared at him with wide eyes to remind him of the agreement he had made with him.
"Lao Zhuang, bring the paper! I'm writing the bill today! Use those two shops in Samurai City as collateral! Win or lose! Seeing that his friend finally agreed, Wu Yuanshuang directed his anger at Lao Zhuang, his eyes were about to split, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Erlang, isn't this okay?" Lao Zhuang seemed to be very embarrassed, "Ling Zun will ...... if he knows"
"Erlang!" That Brother Rong'er's dark eyes flashed with a strange light, and he also opened his mouth to stop it.
"I'm in charge of everything!" Wu Yuanshuang waved his hand, sneered and insisted on his opinion, and made a final decision.
"Good!" Seeing this, Lao Zhuang Yilang smiled and said, "Since Erlang is so refreshing, then my Lao Zhuang is not hypocritical: if we lose, the previous account will be written off!" In addition, in this casino from now on, Erlang doesn't count how much he loses - someone brings paper! β
Xu smelled the smell of conspiracy, and the other gamblers in the lobby who watched the excitement were silent; Under the cold and suppression, some timid gamblers began to withdraw, but the number of onlookers did not seem to have decreased.
And when the little guy handed over two bills that had already been written by someone, Wu Yuanshuang just hurriedly browsed them, and then signed his name.
Then the little guy put away the two bills again.
"Good! Erlang is really refreshing! At this point, Lao Zhuang said with a smile again.
Hearing this, Wu Yuanshuang laughed happily, smiling proudly and arrogantly, and at the same time, Brother Rong behind him actually laughed with him.
"Old rules! Pai Gow! Whoever is bigger wins! β
It is up to Wu Yuanshuang to choose the way to play.
"Wait!" That Brother Rong stopped in vain and whispered in Wu Yuanshuang's ear, "Erlang, your cards must be shown to me before you can compare with him!" Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be too risky to be small! β
"Got it, got it!" Wu Yuanshuang was a little impatient: "Why are you more verbose than a woman?" β
That Brother Rong didn't care, shook his head and seemed to smile helplessly.
"Then let's get started!" Lao Zhuang naturally didn't care, and after Wu Yuanshuang chose the way to play, he urged slightly.
Wu Yuanshuang naturally followed and motioned to the dealer to deal cards.
"Abandon!" Seeing that the first time was one, three or four, Wu Yuanshuang decisively folded.
And the color of the old village remains the same, and he doesn't look at it, and then throws away his cards.
"Abandon!" The second time was three-five-six, and I wanted to take the risk of sprinting once, but I folded again at the insistence of Brother Rong.
The opponent's face remained the same, and he still threw away his cards.
"......" for the third time, it's five, six, six!
Glimpsing this card, Wu Yuanshuang looked at Brother Rong with a solemn face, but did not immediately decide.
Both sides get answers from each other's eyes, although there are some differences.
Open! Wu Yuanshuang really wants to gamble!
Open? And this Brother Rong is a little uncertain, after all, winning or losing has nothing to do with him, so he can't help him make this kind of decision! So he shook his body, showing his indecisiveness.
It's just that Wu Yuanshuang didn't notice it at all, the face on the other side still hasn't changed, and he is still smiling honestly, but even if he catches a glimpse, he won't care.
"Open!" Wu Yuanshuang smiled confidently, smiling proudly and arrogantly.
And at this table where Wu Yuanshuang and Lao Zhuang gambled, it was crowded at this time, and it looked quite intense, although dice was indeed the most worrying game in the casino, but from the moment Wu Yuanshuang entered, everything had changed.
The two Lang Jun of the Assassin Mansion have never had any special hobbies such as drinking and gambling since they took office in the Assassin History, and people are happy and naturally have a trace of regret subconsciously; And even if they lived in the prosperous and powerful Zhenguan years, Datang was extremely open, but it couldn't change the fact that they were a group of ordinary people living in a feudal society where entertainment programs were so lacking. Therefore, from the moment Wu Yuanshuang appeared in the casino, there was naturally a topic of going home to talk to his wife and children! In other words, from the time Wu Yuanshuang stepped into the casino, he naturally became the after-dinner conversation of the casino regulars, and became the best topic of discussion after dinner.
Of course, these Wu Yuanshuang himself can't experience it now!
And because although the circle of the casino is mixed, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a group of people who do not do their business properly, so the news about him has not spread as far as gamblers imagined, at least, it is impossible for the Wu family to hear about it for the time being!
"Open! Open! Open ......" The gamblers who came to see the excitement around naturally did not ignore Wu Yuanshuang's confident voice, followed by an extremely excited crazy shout, "Open!" Open ......"
"Huh? Jiro has decided! At this moment, the old Zhuang put away his smile, his eyes were sharp, and his face was solemn, as if he was facing a major choice.
"That-" He hesitated slightly, and after hanging the appetite of the gamblers and Wu Yuanshuang around him, a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth, like a poppy blooming, "Then, let's open it!" β
did not wait for the dealer to uncover his cards, at the moment when Lao Zhuang said that he also lifted the cards, Wu Yuanshuang himself let go of the cards - five, six, six!
He raised his chin proudly, and got rid of a rooster who had returned from victory, holding his head high, as if the victory was decided. Listening to the inhalation of the "Sisi" around him who was surprised involuntarily, his head tilted higher! In this case, he naturally couldn't see Lao Zhuang's unsurprised face and uncaring smile, and of course he wouldn't see the expressions of other people around him!
-- There is a sympathy, a ridicule, a helplessness, a sigh, and contempt.
And a sense of guilt!
- In this noisy environment, the dealer reaches out and uncovers the opposite card; Then, the dealer's somewhat dry voice sounded "Six-six...... Six ......"
Hearing the voice, Wu Yuanshuang lowered his head step by step, staring at the cards on the opposite side in a daze, and his confident and smug expression was still stiff on his face.
"Erlang!"
Wu Yuanshuang subconsciously raised his head, but found that Brother Rong, who was supposed to be behind him now, walked to the opposite side at some point, holding the card of this old Zhuang and smiling, "Erlang!" You've lost again! β
"I forgot to tell you that the owner of the welcome building is me~"
"Then, I'll take the two shops of the samurai family!"
Then, what Brother Rong saw was that Wu Yuanshuang, who seemed to be thin but had never shown any painful expression in front of anyone, first took a few steps forward with an unbelievable look, and then suddenly reached out to cover his eyes, even at the other end, he could see that there were crystal tears overflowing from the eyes of that face, not dripping, but always rolling in the corners of his eyes. Correspondingly, his entire body was trembling slightly with tears.
After knowing each other for half a year, he had never seen him look like this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he muttered "Yuan Shuang, ......"
As for Wu Yuanshuang, I feel that all the voices around me have disappeared! His face was still stiff, but his state of mind had already quietly changedβhe had no doubts at all!
At this time, it was as if he was in the depths of the silent sea, and there was no one around, and he sank alone in the dark darkness of the sea, unable to hear anyone's words!
It's cold!
I'm scared!
Wu Yuanshuang hugged his shoulders tightly!
It's just, this feeling, as if dΓ©jΓ vu?
Oh!
Remember!
I think I felt this way when I was three years old, right?
Why did you feel it again?
That year, my mother and my brother left me one after another!
Who is it this time?
Forgot!
I don't know!
What am I doing now?
Why is it here?
Inaudible!
Unseen!
Who's going to save me!
It's scary!
Eldest brother!
Come and save me!
He waved his hands weakly and stretched them upward; It seems that in this deep sea, there is an invisible hand above his head, reaching out to him, and he can get out of it when he raises his hand.
And what Brother Rong saw was Wu Yuanshuang sitting down and hiding in the corner of the table, his eyes blank, and his body trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing this, he raised his foot and was about to step over, but was stopped by the old village.
"He ......," he anxiously pointed to the figure crouching in the corner of the table, his eyes full of worry.
And Lao Zhuang didn't speak, just shook his head slowly, and the hand that stopped him was still in front of him.
His insistence was completely useless at this time, and the old Zhuang who was blocking the road did not have the consciousness of treating him as a young master at all at this time.
"Da Lang, it's time to go to the martial arts family now!" Completely ignoring his intolerance, the old Zhuang reminded with a cold face.
"You!" That Brother Rong was still pointing at Wu Yuanshuang who was squatting at the corner of the table, but he turned his head to stare at this father's subordinate, his raised hand trembled uncontrollably, and his voice was full of anger!
"The owner has his own plans! Don't worry! β
"Rebel!" The chattering gamblers were suddenly frightened by this angry shout, and all the whispers disappeared again, and they all turned their heads in unison, trying to find the source of the sound.
"Rebel!" Outside the door, a middle-aged man who was not angry and arrogant came in, and his horizontal eyebrows full of anger and coldness showed that he was capable and decisive.
"Ayya! I ......" Brother Rong seemed to be very afraid of his father, and the moment he appeared, he lowered his head and was weak, not daring to look directly.
"Erlang, don't blame, it's the rebel who is unreasonable!" The middle-aged man ignored his son, but stepped forward first to pick up the walking corpse that had no thoughts and empty eyes, "The old man took that rebel son to the Assassin's Mansion to make amends!" β
"Aya......" Hearing this, that Brother Rong was shocked, and quickly shook his head vigorously and said, "I'm not going!" I won't go ......" shouted and unconsciously retreated backwards until there was no way to retreat and hit Lao Zhuang's tall body.
"Lao Zhuang you!" Brother Rong's eyes widened, full of incomprehension and disbelief, as if he had been brutally betrayed by someone he trusted!
Is that how he feels?
Suddenly, he gave up struggling.
"It's better for Da Lang to listen to the master!" The old Zhuang was expressionless and treated him coldly.
Is it self-inflicted?
"Lao Zhuang, tie up this rebel! Let's go! Glancing coldly at his dying son, the middle-aged man helped Wu Yuanshuang and walked out the door.
"Yes! Master! Lao Zhuang got the order, and then took the rope handed by Xiao Si and tied up Brother Rong, and followed the old man......
At the same time, the Assassin House.
"Wu Gong rest assured!" After carefully giving Yang's pulse, the doctor stroked his gray beard with a smile, "Madame is fine, but it is caused by physical and mental fatigue, wait for the old man to prescribe a prescription to recuperate, and it will be better faster; It's just that I can't worry about trivial matters anymore for the time being! Otherwise, your life will be in danger! At this point, he faced it with a solemn face.
"The old man understands!" Wu Shi Tong glanced at Wu Yuanqing and Shibo Wushun, and shook his head helplessly, "The old man will pay attention!" β
"Master, don't drive Li to visit!" After a subordinate whispered a few words in Wu Bo's ear, Wu Bo struggled slightly, and finally said quietly; There is no other, just a difference in severity.
"Li Liang? What is he here for? Wu Shi Tong naturally heard what Wu Bo said, but he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Could it be that he already knows that there are three highnesses in the Assassin Mansion?" But the old fox should be silent! He was talking to himself, and no one could hear what he was saying.
Only Wu Yuanqing seemed to have an understanding, his eyes were eager, and he frowned a little irritably.
