In the cold winter, the city of heavy snow and hair, approaching the Spring Festival, the tiles in the city are crowded with people, and it is particularly lively.

This tile shop is called tile according to the people's verbal name, also called tile market, compared with the colorful high-rise building in the center of the city, this tile shop is mostly opened in the remote people's residential area in the city, because of the cheap tiles on the roof of the civilian house in the residential area and gets the name, there are many snacks and miscellaneous games in the shop, and some are biased and there are brothels and gambling houses.

As soon as Lin Xiao took his junior sister to walk to the mouth of a tile shop, he saw a small hair that he hadn't seen for many years - the eldest son of Ye Jian's family, the right minister of the southern country, the main guest of the Ministry of Rites, and Ye Fu.

"Ye Fu!" Lin Xiao called out loudly, that look, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Although this Ye Fu's figure is a little weak, his eyebrows are clear, his demeanor is extraordinary, he is dressed in a green robe, and a piece of jade jade is around his waist.

"Lin Xiao!"

The two trotted for a while, hugged warmly, and jumped up happily, happy as two children.

Lin Xiao and Ye Fu have been at the same table in Guozijian for six years since they were children, and they are little playmates together, eating, drinking, playing and gambling, knowing everything. This Guozijian is similar to a public school in the south, with 12 years of low-cost education, the first six years of dual study in literature and martial arts, and the last six years require students to choose their own liberal arts and martial arts, which is equivalent to liberal arts and science subjects.

After Lin Xiao was divided into civil and martial arts, he was sent to Yunanzong by Lin Dong to resolve the surging Gu poison; Ye Fu loved poetry since he was a child, and he was talented in literature, and his family had four generations and three dukes, and he was a famous family for hundreds of years, so he naturally chose liberal arts.

In this way, the two have not seen each other for six years.

The two talked happily, and deliberately found a teahouse in the tile shop for a long talk, and the more they chatted, the more Lin Xiao admired his old friend, a genius who was alive and well:

Ye Fu has not yet graduated from Guozijian, and his poems "Guojian", "Saiwai Song", and "Yebo Donglin" have been praised in the southern country. After the imperial examination, he dropped out of school directly from Guozijian and served as the director of the main and guest department, and he has been steadily promoted in the past three years.

On the second floor of the teahouse, Ye Fu glanced at the little sister of Yudie, then looked at Lin Xiao and said with a smile: "You kid is leisurely, you don't say a word if you find a girlfriend in the Imperial Southern Sect." ”

Lin Xiao smiled evilly: "No way, you pester me every day, you have to go down the mountain with me, I'm afraid that I will be abducted by other sisters." ”

As soon as she heard this, the little junior sister of Jade Butterfly turned red, and her little fist hit Lin Xiao's shoulder, and hurriedly explained: "Senior brother is talking nonsense again, you want me to accompany you down the mountain to play." ”

Lin Xiao laughed and hurriedly begged for mercy, at this moment, there were bursts of shouts from gamblers from the gambling house downstairs of the teahouse, the two looked at each other and smiled, and took Yudie downstairs.

Entering the gambling house, dozens of old and young masters surrounded several large tables to gamble, noisy and lamenting one after another, choking soil tobacco mixed with the smell of strong sweat, permeating the damp gambling house.

The little junior sister of Jade Butterfly was still a little restrained after entering the door, but Lin Xiao put her arm around her shoulders and squeezed forward, and the edge of the three dice tables was squeezed out so hard.

As soon as it was served, Ye Fu teased Lin Xiao: "After going up the mountain for so many years, I'm afraid your gambling art is not as good as it was back then." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lin Xiao smiled, he used to be a rich man with hundreds of thousands of happy beans, and on weekdays on the mountain and the children of various sects, he also rubbed Chuanma and Guangma Ganma: "That's okay, you first, I'll see how your gambling luck is today." ”

On the gambling table, the dice of the gambling house swayed up and down with a bamboo box, and the two dice collided in a symphony in the game, and there were words in their mouths:

"Everyone~ press big and press small!"

When the words fell, Bo Gu was already firmly covered on the gambling table, waiting for a circle of gamblers to press the money.

The old and young in the circle recited their own scriptures, each seeking their own methods, and the "big" and "small" of various tones filled the ears, without much hesitation, Ye Fu first pressed a tael of silver "big" and tried his luck.

Seeing that the two large and small areas on the table were already filled with all kinds of official silver, broken silver, and copper plates, after making sure that no one continued to invest money, Sic Lang raised his voice again:

"God of Wealth blesses, buy and leave~"

After the "hand" word was put on for a long note, the young and old in the circle became fans of the support group, shouting their respective "big" and "small" idols.

When everyone was a little tired and the momentum was getting weaker, Sic Lang shouted in the midst of thousands of calls: "Open!"

"4, 1, 5 points small!"

A few circles around the gambling table were full of joy and sorrow, and Ye Fu also shook his head because of the loss.

In the second hand, Ye Fu is still "big", still one or two.

"2, 2, 4 points small!"

On the third hand, Ye Fu changed to "small", still one or two.

"6, 3, 9 o'clock!"

Losing three hands in a row, Ye Fu couldn't bear it, he wanted to show off in front of Lin Xiao, but now he didn't succeed with one hand, so he simply pressed three taels at a time, thinking about earning back the original at one time, how could he think about it......

Three or two.

Five taels.

Ten taels.

In about ten minutes, Ye Fu lost more and more, and the pressure became bigger and bigger, and finally lost to the gambling house, and he had already lost fifty taels of silver.

"It's almost unbanned, gentlemen, let's play again tomorrow. As he spoke, the shopkeeper of the gambling house had come out to collect the accounts, and a few of the miscellaneous men also came out with brooms and rags to clean up.

"Ye Fu, what does this mean by this forbidden and Chen Kai?" Lin Xiao was puzzled, he touched mahjong on the mountain on weekdays, and the last time he entered the gambling house was several years ago.

Ye Fu's face turned blue when he lost, but when his old friend asked, he still replied patiently: "The new law of our southern country in the past two years, the gambling house cannot be opened in the afternoon and evening, it can only be opened in the morning, this is called Chen Kai, and after noon and noon, it will be closed before the time, this is called unbanned, why do you want to gamble?"

Lin Xiao hesitated, and then asked again, "Now the time has come?"

"Come on, gambling houses usually close early, but the husband in the shop hasn't knocked on it yet. ”

"Then lend me some silver taels, and I'll pay you back later." Lin Xiao said that the living expenses on weekdays had already been lost by playing mahjong on the mountain, and the money that was finally brought down the mountain had also bought clothes before, and he knew that he had just gone out to get some from his father, but after all, he had grown up, and he was embarrassed to open his mouth.

In the middle of the world, it would be nice if you could get a naked loan, but when you think about it, who wants a man's naked loan?

As soon as Lin Xiao asked himself to borrow money, Ye Fu naturally did not hesitate, and took out the money bag from the ring and opened it directly to Lin Xiao, there was only a small ingot of ten taels of official silver and dozens of copper coins left.

Lin Xiao took out the silver ingot and placed it in front of the sic table that was ready to settle the account: "Dealer, there is still enough time, how about another gamble?"

This sic lang is thin, wrapped in a big black cotton jacket, with short hair and a mustache, just the appearance of this thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, he is stunned to marry a three-room wife and concubine in the city, relying on a hand of dice, not to mention the size, that is, it can be shaken out at what time, and there is no mistake at all.

Among the dozens of gamblers of all ages in this gambling house, half of them are trusts, and what they earn is the money of men like Lin Xiao and Ye Fu.

"God Shaker" raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Xiao, the conversation between the two of them had already entered his ears, the most taboo thing about opening a gambling house is to win and cut off the roots, what he wants is a long stream of water, a knife is slow, and he is dressed up as a rich and noble brother, for fear of provoking the powerful, he still said safely at the moment: "Come back tomorrow, the shopkeeper is going to close the account." ”

"This hairy kid is not very old, and his gambling is not small. The onlookers said casually, and everyone was amused, and the other gamblers who had dispersed from the table also gathered one after another with laughter.

was teased by everyone, or in front of the little sister of Yudie, where did Lin Xiao's old face go, it seems that it is not open, you don't know who the male protagonist is: "Dealer, give me a chance to return to the original, otherwise, I will press first, and then you will shake it?"

"Aha ”

Everyone laughed, the laughter shook the wooden planks on the second floor, the old bustard outside the square was so frightened that he fell, and the passers-by at the mouth of the tile were all looking in the distance when they heard the sound.

The whole gambling house was laughing, even Lin Xiao laughed with everyone, but Ye Fu couldn't laugh, and even a little embarrassed, shaking the dice first and then pressing the money is the entry rule of gambling dice, everyone knows it, and the prevention is that the old dice lang is playing.

Ye Fu tugged at the corner of Lin Xiao's clothes, and whispered in his ear: "Lin Xiao, don't make trouble." ”

"Rest assured. As soon as Lin Xiao turned around, the corners of her mouth showed an imperceptible evil smile, so chic and handsome, handsome than Andy Lau.

"Don't give money, go home and play, little baby. God Shaker sent away, it is not uncommon for gamblers to lose crazy in the past, and it is the first time that they are crazy like this.

"Don't want any money to give?" When the words fell, Lin Xiao had already pressed the silver ingot at "big".

"Hmph~" Shen Shaozi chuckled, shook his head helplessly, picked up the Bo tool casually and waved it, the dice hit the table three or two times, and after opening the Bo Ji, he didn't even look at it, so he said to the shopkeeper next to him, "Add another ten taels." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the dice and frowned, and dozens of gamblers in the workshop looked at the dice and were speechless...... People have misses, horses have stumbled, and God shakes today?

Seeing that the shopkeeper and everyone looked wrong, Shen Shaozi looked down.

5, 3, 8 o'clock big!

Rage Energy from Godshaker: +100.
