Chapter 6: The Covenant of the Gambling Stone

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, but things like that kind of bad and not bad happen to spread into Ye Weiyang's ears. So he immediately burned his eyebrows and slammed open Ye Yan's door with a "clang".

Like stepping into a medicine field, Ye Weiyang smelled a familiar smell of medicine. But Ye Yan was not an alchemist after all, so the taste was not fragrant, but with a kind of rough bitterness.

Ye Yan was reclining on the bed and closing his eyes to recuperate, he curled up his legs slightly, and put on a white velvet blanket. I don't know if he was asleep or awake, anyway, when Ye Weiyang rushed in, he didn't move a finger.

At this time, Ye Weiyang felt that he was reckless. Ye Yan's health has always been bad, and he even had to rely on rare elixirs for a while to hold his breath. His cultivation is cold, so in spring, summer, and autumn, he can't use his cultivation, and he needs to retreat behind closed doors.

He slammed the door shut softly and made a slight "squeak". tiptoed to the side of the bed again, smoothed out the thick blackout cloth, and then quietly walked to Ye Yan's bedside.

"Brother...... Elder brother? Did you sleep? ”

In the dimness, the person on the bed opened his eyes slightly, his skin was pale, and he could easily see the tiny cyan blood vessels on his chin. Ye Yan tilted his head slightly and said softly

"Didn't you say don't sit on my right?"

Ye Weiyang straightened the pillow behind him and sat on the edge of the bed with a hippie smile

"Brother, your right side is the bedside, I naturally want to sit here, otherwise, don't I have to sit in the bed?"

Ye Yan's eyes had a little look, and he smiled shallowly.

"Let's talk about it."

Ye Weiyang scolded his brother again, the mentally retarded man who was even more reckless than him.

"Brother, you say, if you are a normal person, you won't gamble with Lin Debiao, right? Yes, I know, Yunfei is very powerful, but ...... Aren't you saying he's stupid? Yes, I said I would protect him, but he ...... Does he think it's not a crime to offend someone? He's messing around! At the mention of Yunfei, Ye Weiyang was angry, but he hadn't told his brother about Yunfei taking him as a bet, and he always felt like his daughter-in-law was taking her husband's money to spend a lot......

"Bring me some water." Ye Yan pointed to the tea table. Ye Weiyang held the teapot in his hand, and his heart was numb in an instant. "Brother......, that ...... Drinking herbal tea is not good for the body......"

Ye Yan's weak hand took the teapot, Ye Weiyang watched a white frost flower rise on the body of the pot instantly, and then as soon as he raised his hand, what spilled from the spout of the pot was a snow-like brown smoothie.

"Eat ice?" Ye Yan tilted his head sideways and asked?

Ye Weiyang hurriedly shook his head.

Ye Yan brought the teacup close to his lips, drank the smoothie like drinking water, and finally glowed half an inch red on his pale face. "It's hot, isn't it? This year's midsummer will be difficult again. ”

He put down his teacup, sat up from the bed, and put on his shoes.

"You're worried about him?"

Ye Weiyang barely squeezed out a smirk, and immediately rolled his eyes. "He's too reckless."

"He's smart." Ye Yan retorted lightly. "He's a very strategic guy, he's very good at roundabouts, and he's very good at every step of the way

Be clear about what you're doing. ”

Ye Weiyang frowned suspiciously. "Brother, are you saying that he deliberately provoked Lin Debiao?"

"Unintentionally, deliberately, it's not good to say, but this gamble can't be fought." Ye Yan walked to the side of the bed and took the trouble to smooth the wrinkles on the blackout cloth repeatedly. "And then again, don't you think it's a provocation for Lin San to take back a gambling stone master casually?"

"Who is the real reckless?"

Ye Weiyang looked at his brother in surprise, unable to say a word.

"He's helping himself, and he's helping you. I have often told you that some people cannot be dealt with by virtue of 'affection', and even more so if your insight is not above theirs, you will not be able to grasp that kind of 'affection'. So for Yunfei, what I teach you is - 'bond'. ”

"To make friends is to form a bond of both prosperity and loss, you don't betray him, and don't let him betray you. So, you either tie him to your body, or you tie yourself to him......"

Lin Debiao had a lot of words, but after drinking too much, he talked endlessly, and he insisted on pulling Yunfei "brother, brother" to tell his experience three or four times. When Yun Fei and Liu Yun walked out of the tavern, it was already dark, and the lights in the distance were like fiery stars, flashing dazzlingly.

The bystanders are clear, and so are the authorities. Liu Yun clearly felt that Yun Fei had come out of the tavern, as if he had changed as a person, and immediately regained the personality he was once familiar with.

"Your experience...... It's amazing. Liu Yun broke the silence.

"Does the fifth brother believe it?" Yun Fei raised his eyes and asked rhetorically.

"Half-truths?"

"Half-truths." Yunfei nodded, "When you meet people, you only say three points, and you can't throw away all your hearts, this is what the fifth brother taught me." ”

"Hehehehe......" Liu Yun smiled, his laughter was very soft, and he had the charm of a reader. Good memory. ”

"It's not a bragging, I have a really good memory, and I can't forget it." Yun Fei smiled not very modestly, "Moreover, this sentence is true. ”

"I can see it." Liu Yun nodded. "When you lie, there is a twitch in the middle of the people, I can see it."

"Hahahaha." Yun Fei was amused and reached out to touch his own person. "Really?"

Liu Yun mysteriously puffed out his cheeks.

"I don't know how to lie since I was a child, really, they say that when I tell a small lie, the whole person is not in a state, when I tell a lie, it seems to be a joke, when I tell a big lie......" Yun Fei paused slightly, "No one can see it." ”

"Then you're a liar!"

"Who knows......" Yun Fei raised his head to look for the Big Dipper, but what caught his eye was smoke and dark clouds covering the sky. I'll take Ye Weiyang as a bet this time, and when I go back, if he dares to bite me, Fifth Brother, you can prepare the dog beating stick and cut it off on his head......"

Liu Yun laughed and pointed to the woman on Yunfei's back who was slumped and collapsed. "You're a winner, if he cuts you, he's committing a big mistake!"

Yun Fei weighed the weight behind his back. It's strange to say

, he used to always shout about losing weight, but after changing his gender, he realized that women are really not heavy. Their skeletons were as if they were made of clouds, and their bodies were soft, lying on people's backs like they were carrying small children.

"It's just a pity that I didn't gamble." Yunfei sighed softly. "If you gamble, it hurts Lin Debiao's face; If you can't gamble, you'll lose your interest, and I'm really used to it now......"

Liu Yun looked at him and sighed, he could only sigh that this person's mind was delicate and profound, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that he raised his two bright eyes and stared at him with a sly face

"Fifth brother, if I really gamble, I won't necessarily lose."

"And...... This sentence is also true. ”

At noon in April, the sun was warm. Yun Fei was upright, strode in from the main entrance, and happened to catch up with the meal, and there were few people in the entire restaurant. The shopkeeper leaned lazily on the counter, and when his heavy eyelids were raised, he saw him.

"I want to ask......" As soon as Yun Fei spoke, he felt a breath of contempt "brush" through his body, and after a glance, he noticed that the two shopkeepers were talking to each other on his side, and they were eyebrows.

The shopkeeper raised his chin lazily, not even letting out a fart. He looked at Yunfei's shabby clothes, thinking that a beggar had found the wrong direction of employment and bumped into the restaurant, so he naturally didn't bother to pay attention to it.

"Is this the dog's eyes looking at people low...... Yun Fei laughed in his heart, he was treated like this as soon as he entered the center of Qingchuan Town, he really felt that in this era, bad people and bullies were supported, and simple and good people were excluded.

"Treat me like a begger? I am a dignified Miss Luojia...... "Suddenly his eyebrows moved, and he thought about it, and touched the package with one hand, and pinched a hard thing.

"I just want to ask...... Yun Fei reached out and took out the few remaining silver bumps, neatly laid them out in front of him, and slowly pushed them forward with his fingers. Like a swarm of ants attached, mosquitoes and flies see blood, the shopkeeper is like the blood of chickens, pigs, and swans, "Hula" sat up, smiled on his cheeks, licked his lips, rubbed his hands, and smiled and cast a look of respect to Yunfei.

"What does Childe want to ask?"

Yun Fei half-lowered his head, his fingers absentmindedly playing with broken silver, of course he didn't care about this bit of leftovers, and when the money for gambling jade was in his hands, the broken silver he had was enough to pave the ground and build a house.

"From out of town, passing by Qingchuan," he stretched out his hand to push the money out, not caring at all. "I want to ask, where are you...... Is there a place to gamble on jade? ”

As soon as he heard the word "gambling jade", the shopkeeper was in awe for a moment, this man sounds like a rich man!

"We're ...... here," he said, clearing his throat and feeling a little nervous. The folk call it 'gambling stone', and only the high-end game is called 'gambling jade', you are ......"

"And the folk?" Yun Fei's eyes rolled, and he was half convinced. But when I think about it, according to his former identity, how can he know about folk entertainment tricks?

"What are the rules for the private and high-end bureaus, you can tell me about them."

The folk "gambling stones" are divided into two types of low

End and mid-range boards. The so-called "gathering crowd to gamble, trying to have fun" in the low-end bureau. "It's a small fight, you don't have to go on the road."

The mid-end game has such a nickname: "Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, there is nothing that cannot be bet on." If you lose, your daughter-in-law wins a golden melon, and she depends on it to make a fortune. ”

The high-end game is what Yunfei called "gambling jade", and the rules are the same as what he knows: "one bet on silver, two on money, three on treasures and four bets on life, five rounds of fighting to win or lose, and the sea of swords and fires from the king's order!" ”

"It's kind of interesting......" Yun Fei laughed at the nickname, and pursed his thin lips slightly. The high-end bureau can't go for the time being according to his current "figure", but, "Where is the place where 'losing the daughter-in-law wins the golden melon'?" ”

That was Yun Fei's first gambling in Qingchuan, that is, in the "Jade Archway" where fish and dragons were mixed, he got acquainted with Ye Weiyang.
