The eyes of a group of people were staring at Zhou Xiaocao in unison, and there were signs that they were going to overturn him if they didn't give a reasonable explanation.

Zhou Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Everyone, what do I mean, fighting with him, Mo Ruowen, what do you think?" ”

Qiu Zhimin first knew Zhou Xiaocao, and this time he asked, "What is Wendou?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao's eyes rolled, and he said proudly: "Uh-let's play cards!" ”

"Playing cards?"

Traditional cards are definitely not playable, and there is no such high-quality paper here. Zhou Xiaocao adapted measures to local conditions and asked these masters to get some wood chips and cut them into relatively thin and appropriately sized "cards", which was a piece of cake for them. Fifty-four cards were obtained, and the next step was to paint. Black is replaced with ink, red is cinnabar, black and red plum represent the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Arabic numerals are transformed into Chinese characters, and JQKA is said to be a totem representing mysterious power. In this way, a plausible deck of playing cards is freshly baked.

Zhou Xiaocao told them the rules of fighting landlords, and the next thing was the actual battle. Zhou Xiaocao stipulated that if three people go to war, the winner can leave, and the loser stays. In the end, the person who loses goes to raise thousand-year-old blood silkworms. It was the first time for everyone to come into contact with such a fun game, and their enthusiasm was immediately high, and in the end, it was the junior brother Song Zhiming who was the last loser, so he could only go dejectedly.

But on the second day, it was Zhou Xiaocao who was the final loser. Zhou Xiaocao was surprised: "You don't want me to raise that thousand-year-old blood silkworm, right?" ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

"Damn, I'm not one of you who don't want to die. It's not my turn, is it? ”

Song Zhiming said proudly: "I am willing to lose the bet!" You still taught us this method, and now that you can't lose, don't you want to slap yourself in the face? ”

Zhou Xiaocao stubbornly said: "Okay, I'll go, can't I go?" So what, lead the way! ”

Song Zhiming led him to a cave behind a row of houses. There is a heavy iron door outside the cave, and now it is guarded by General Zhengtie.

Song Zhiming opened the iron door and let Zhou Xiaocao in, then closed the door outside and said, "The breeding is over." Just lock the door when you go out. ”

Zhou Xiaocao entered the cave. There was an oil lamp burning inside, but it was not dark. The whole cave was empty, and there was a large stone basin in the middle, and Zhou Xiaocao took a closer look. But there was a worm inside. Pale all over. It's about the thickness of a thumb, and it's as long as a puff. There are two rows of black and red circular spots on both sides of the body, which are supposed to be its respiratory organs. This insect is a bug. The circulatory system is circular, with an artery in the back and a vein in the abdomen.

Is this the thousand-year-old blood silkworm? The insect was very cute, and I thought it was terrifying, but it was only so much, about the shape of the larva of the big moth. I just searched for a long time, but I didn't find any food that could feed it. Did you forget to give me food?

"Sizzle!"

The blood silkworm didn't know how many years it had lived, and it had become a sperm, and when it smelled the smell of a human being, it knew that it had come to raise itself, and suddenly let out a cry.

Zhou Xiaocao walked over to take a look, and saw that the little guy was raising half of his body in the stone basin, with his four-petal mouth open upward, and there was a sound of "sizzle".

"Yo, are you still angry? I'm sorry, I forgot to get you food. Well, how about I go out and bring you some back? ”

Zhou Xiaocao was about to turn around, but the blood silkworm screamed more urgently. Zhou Xiaocao held the edge of the pot with his hand, and comforted him in a good voice: "Don't worry, baby silkworm, wait for my brother and I'll bring you the food!" By the way, what do you eat? Mulberry leaf? Or something else? ”

The thousand-year-old blood silkworm suddenly jumped and bit Zhou Xiaocao's thumb. A heart-piercing pain came, and when Zhou Xiaocao screamed and looked, he saw that the blood silkworm was biting his fingers and sucking his blood in a big gulp.

Zhou Xiaocao was frightened, and hurriedly shook his hand, wanting to shake it off. But this silkworm is very powerful, biting its fingers and never letting go. Zhou Xiaocao grabbed its tail, and under the pull, not only did it not pull it away, but it became more painful.

Seeing that the silkworm baby was absorbing more and more blood, the silkworm baby's body began to become round and bulging, and the eyes became ruddy. The arteries on the back of the silkworm baby flow bright red blood, and under the action of the heart pump, the whole body continues to circulate blood, and the whole body becomes bright red.

"Damn, I'm dizzy!"

Zhou Xiaocao felt dizzy for a while, and he didn't know if it was because of blood loss or fainting. Fortunately, the silkworm baby sucked enough blood, automatically got off his hand, fell into the stone basin, curled up, and remained motionless.

Zhou Xiaocao fled from the cave, turned around, and locked the iron door with a "snap", locking the nightmarish silkworm baby.

Outside, Song Zhiming was still waiting for him, and when he saw the blood marks on Zhou Xiaocao's hand, he said lightly: "What are you yelling about?" Isn't it just sucking a little blood? ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "But, I'm dizzy! ”

Song Zhiming said: "What is this? Why do you think our brothers and sisters are reluctant to come and raise thousand-year-old blood silkworms? The feeling of knowing that it was going to be painful to bleed and be waiting for it to come was really uncomfortable, so we didn't want to come. ”

Zhou Xiaocao held down the wound and asked, "How long has this bug been here?" ”

Song Zhiming shook his head and said, "I don't know either." Anyway, I've seen it since I was a child, and I don't think there will be fewer years. ”

Zhou Xiaoxiao is at a glance, ordinary insects can live for a few months to live a long life, this guy has lived for so long?

Unexpectedly, in the next few days, Zhou Xiaocao lost every day. After feeding the blood silkworm one after another, Zhou Xiaocao felt that the amount of blood in his body was constantly decreasing. Under normal circumstances, the bone marrow and liver of the human body will store some spare blood, which can account for about a quarter of the total blood volume of the human body. So, a small amount of blood loss does not affect people's lives. However, hundreds of milliliters of blood had to be donated every day, and after a few days, Zhou Xiaocao's body couldn't bear it.

On this day, it was Zhou Xiaocao who lost to the end, and couldn't help but say, "How did you do it?" Can't I have bad luck all the time, right? Why are you all bombs and I can't get two of them? ”

"Wha"

A group of people began to laugh without conscience, and Zhou Xiaocao said with a bitter face: "You people who have no conscience, I have such bad luck, you still want to laugh at me?" ”

After waiting for enough laughter, Qiu Zhimin said: "Xiaocao, do you really rely on luck?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao spread his hands: "Otherwise, what?" ”

"Wha"

Song Zhiming said: "If you have martial arts, why don't you use it?" ”

Pick up a card and say, "Look, it's a three!" I'll give it a stealing beam! ”

In the blink of an eye, three became two! Song Zhiming said: "Not only that, but you can also quickly do hands and feet when shuffling the cards, and you can also do hands and feet when you start the cards." How do you think our good fortune comes from? ”

Zhou Xiaocao cried: "You are still the true nature of martial arts!" I have a question. ”

The crowd said, "Speak? ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "You see, you all win by cheating, this can't be counted. Well, the result this time doesn't count, let's do it again, okay? ”

Everyone said in unison, "No! If you are willing to lose the bet, you will raise thousand-year-old blood silkworms! (To be continued......)
