Follow Ian to the island, and there are about thirty people who want to have fun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After going to the island along the way, Ian saw from afar that there was a building that looked like a golden splendor halfway up the mountainside of the island.
That's what Zike said, the only casino on the island.
Everyone followed Ian towards the casino, but along the way, they found a very strange thing.
As mentioned before, the inhabitants of this island look poor!
Many of the houses on the island look not only small, but also almost all of them are dilapidated, and when Ian looks closely, he finds that most of the people who have appeared on the island are women and children, and there are few men.
These women and children, with vegetable faces, and the clothes on their bodies are also patched up, and they feel dusty, and there are obviously farmland on the island, but it is these women and children who work in the fields, and they are sweating and waving hoes to plow.
Ian had also worked in the fields when he was in the Frostmoon Village Dojo, and he crouched down, grabbed a handful of dirt, looked at it carefully, and sniffed it.
The soil here is actually quite fertile, Ian judged.
However, he looked at the seedlings in the field, and found that these crops all showed a feeling of insufficient growth, and there were even large areas of land, which were in a state of desolation.
"Zike, where did you get the water and food you bought?" Ian asked puzzledly, "How can there be extra supplies to sell when this place is so poor?" ”
Zike pointed to the splendid casino halfway up the mountain and said: "Where else can it be, naturally it is a casino, when we went to the island, we didn't see any shops for a long time, and finally asked the people in the village to learn that only the casino has something for sale, so in the end I can only go there to buy it, and the news of the casino is also obtained in this way." ”
"Why is this village full of women and children?" Ian asked again, "Even the people who are ploughing, where have the men in the village gone?" ”
Zike pointed to the casino and said, "It's almost all in there!" ”
At this moment, not only Ian, but everyone was surprised: "What!?" ”
"Did all the men in the village go to work in the casino?" Ian asked, surprised.
"It's not!" Zike shook his head and said, "They're all going to gamble!" ”
"All the men run to gamble, leaving the women and children to work in the fields?" Ian just thought it was too weird.
Zike shrugged and said, "No way, this Grambury Island, I heard that it has another name, called Gambler's Island!" ”
Ian wanted to ask something, but at this time, he suddenly heard a cry in front of him, looked up, and found that it was a family, a woman who looked a little yellow and thin, and was crying and falling to the ground, she was holding a package in her hand, and a man who looked red-eyed grabbed the other end of the package and pulled her desperately.
A three-year-old child was also crying next to him.
"Let it go! Do you hear me, let me go! The red-eyed man yelled at the woman viciously.
"No, I'm not going to let it go! It's the only thing of value left in the house, and I can't let you take it! The woman cried.
Ian thought that someone was robbing something, and just wanted to let Zike and them rush over to stop it, but unexpectedly, the woman suddenly begged bitterly: "Boss, you can't gamble anymore, there is no food at home anymore, just count on these things to exchange for some food to live, if you take it to the casino and lose, the whole family will starve to death!" ”
Boss!? Nima, the man is the husband of this woman!?
Ian has a feeling of beeping a dog, why does the picture in front of him look so much like a third-rate dog blood TV series?
Sure enough, the woman's cry did not make the man's heart soften, but instead slapped the woman in the face, knocked her to the ground, and then ran away with the package in her arms.
As he ran, he shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu is rich!" It's rich again! This time, we must win it back with interest! ”
Needless to say, the direction he ran in was naturally the location of the casino.
The woman got up, ignored the red slap marks on her face, and just took the crying child in her arms, and then the two of them cried loudly together.
Ian turned his head left and right, and found that the other women in the village, looking at this scene, were just silent, and their eyes were numb, as if they had seen too much of this kind of scene.
"What the hell is going on?" Ian looked at this scene and couldn't help but ask out loud.
However, no one around him could answer him.
There are countless casinos in the world, but none of them are quite like this one.
"Let's go, let's see what the hell this casino is!" Ian said with a cold face.
Everyone nodded and followed Ian.
It didn't take long for them to come to the door of the casino, compared to the village below the mountain, it was like two worlds, the casino building, it was so wide and tall, a huge neon sign outside, flashing with confusing lights, standing at the door of the casino, there were two rows of greetings, the left row was, it was a beautiful young girl dressed in sexy clothes, and the right row was a handsome young man in a well-dressed manner, and when he saw Ian and they came, they smiled in unison and bowed.
"Welcome to the old K Casino, ladies and gentlemen, please!"
Ian looked at the greetings, didn't say anything, and walked inside.
After everyone entered the casino, they found that it was so big, this was a very regular looking casino, luxuriously decorated, full of golden lights, a bunny girl wearing rabbit ears on her head and wearing revealing clothes, shuttling back and forth in the crowd with drinks, and security guards in black suits and sunglasses scattered around the inconspicuous corners of the casino.
However, it is the guests in the casino who are incompatible with the style of the casino, which is bustling with excitement, but most of the people look shabby, they gather in front of the gambling tables, loud noise, staring at the dealer to open the cards and reveal the results, after a while, some people shout "win", and then rush over and frantically hug their chips, while more people, but they are dejected, and then continue to bet on the next handful with red eyes.
How to say, the scene in front of me is like a luxury casino in Las Vegas, but it is open in the African countryside......
It's so weird!
In the casino, it was divided into several areas, each area has a different way to play, Ian thought about it, walked to the service desk, exchanged more than 400,000 Bailey chips, and then took the chips, and gave some to each member of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, and said: "Take it to play, but remember to inquire about the situation here and see what is going on!" ”
"Well, good captain!" Everyone nodded in response.
Ian himself took 20,000 Bailey's chips and went into the casino and walked around, he was not very familiar with casinos, because he had never been to such a place.
Arriving at a table with a turntable, Ian leaned in, intending to take a look.
The huge turntable is spinning at this time, and a small ball is rolling in the turntable, and it looks like it is about to stop, so the gamblers who bet on it, when they see that the ball is about to roll to the number they bet on, they desperately shout to stop, and those who do not bet on this number are desperately shouting, and it looks so lively.
Ian didn't pay much attention to the movement of the ball, his attention was on the dealer next to him, the dealer was wearing a white shirt and white gloves, although he was standing next to the turntable, but he was standing motionless with his hands behind his back.
The ball soon stopped, and stopped at a number, and one of the gamblers bet on it, and immediately cheered excitedly, but many more sighed in annoyance.
Ian looked at the dealer suspiciously, then at the ball on the wheel.
