Chapter 269: Why
Chen Qi didn't feel the master's praise for him at all, just to catch up with the master's seemingly leisurely stroll, but in fact, his steps were as fast as the wind, and he almost used all his strength.
Desperately holding back the dry pain in his throat, as well as the pain in his chest like a knife, Chen Qi gasped, his face turned red, but when his eyes fell not far ahead, he froze slightly, and his voice was suddenly extremely low.
"Master, this place ...... Not so good. ”
It's actually very, very fun.
The street in front is called Rouge Street, which is only separated by one street from Anning Street, but it is completely different from Anning Street, the whole street is a place like a green house casino, with a variety of patterns, from day to night, it is not quiet day and night.
Just playing on the bright side of the things makes people feel able to soak here every day for a month without getting tired of having fun.
Secretly, there are also cockfighting, dog fighting, ring competitions and other activities, which are not bloody, but they are absolutely exciting.
The sons and daughters of the rich and noble families in Qizhou, but if there is entertainment, come here more, if anyone is not clear about the latest news on this rouge street when socializing, they will definitely be despised, of course, if your status is so high that everyone has to hold you, it doesn't matter.
Chen Qi and these scholars, they usually talk about Rouge Street with disdain, but they are still very curious in private. He was particularly moved some time ago, but he just wanted to be face-saving and timid, just thinking about it.
Chen Qi was still worried, and Yang Yuying had already stepped into the casino next to him.
It is said that this kind of casino really does not see women enter on weekdays.
The atmosphere here in Qizhou is really not so open. But Yang Yuying walked into the door of the casino in one step, and the two thugs with delicate eyebrows and pleasant faces at the door turned a blind eye.
Chen Qi was surprised, but before he could ask, he saw Zhou Yan sitting at the gambling table with his arms left and right.
"He even gambles?"
Chen Qi almost fainted.
Although he and Zhou Yan are actually not very well-behaved, Zhou Yan respects his parents and often says that he has failed in his studies, which makes his father and mother save money for him to study, he must be thrifty, and he will never spend money that should be spent.
Chen Qi felt that because he was curious, he couldn't stand the temptation to go and gamble, and Zhou Yan shouldn't go.
The atmosphere in the casino was warm, many gamblers were already red-eyed, and Zhou Yan was also smiling wantonly, and the stacked chips on the table had a different kind of temptation under the dim lighting.
Zhou Yan's eyes lit up terribly, Chen Qi shivered suddenly, only felt that Zhou Yan sitting at the gambling table was completely different from the one he knew, the Zhou Yan he knew was a dull and melancholy person, thoughtful, delicate, and had a heavy sense of responsibility for his family, so he often looked a little old.
But the one in front of him, those eyes were full of madness, which made people tremble and dare not look at each other.
Chen Qi gritted his teeth, suppressed the strangeness and fear in his heart, walked over and grabbed Zhou Yan's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Stop betting, go home." ”
He paused, "Where did you get so much money?" ”
"What does it have to do with you?"
Zhou Yan was displeased, swept away Chen Qi with a wave of his hand, frowned and said casually, "If you want to play, sit down, if you don't want to play, get out, this is not a place for you to make trouble." ”
"You!"
Chen Qi was so angry that his heart ached, and he saw several casino thugs looking over frequently, he snorted coldly, what are thugs, he was naturally afraid before, but today there is a master, and he is not worried about anything.
Gearing up, he was ready to take Zhou Yan away.
"Master, shall we drag him out?" Chen Qi whispered, and as soon as the words came together, they fell down gently, "Master? ”
Looking back, there was no trace of Yang Yuying, Chen Qi's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly walked back and forth, looked around, and took a closer look, and saw that this 'master' was looking around the various tables with great interest, and seemed to be very interested in all this.
He was speechless, gritted his teeth, ignored Zhou Yan for the time being, and hurriedly trotted all the way to Yang Yuying's side: "Master, let's take Zhou Yan away." ”
Yang Yuying was surprised: "Take it away? Why? ”
Chen Qi: "......"
Yang Yuying chuckled: "Since this casino is open, it must be allowed to open locally, and it is not illegal, right?" ”
Chen Qi nodded slightly.
"Zhou Yan is gambling in the gambling house, the gambling money is taken from other people's own money, not ours, and we are not Zhou Yan's father, his mother, why should we care about him?"
Yang Yuying shrugged.
Chen Qi was speechless: "...... Then I'll go find Uncle Zhou? ”
Immediately, his expression was panicked, Zhou Yan didn't know how long he had been gambling, and the Zhou family would definitely break his muscles and bones if he took out so much money.
Chen Qi's feet softened: "I'll go back to Uncle Zhou immediately." ”
"If you want to make the old man of the Zhou family angry on the spot, then you can go."
As soon as Yang Yuying looked at her face today, she could see that the carpenter was strong on the outside and in the middle, and his body was almost collapsed, if he cultivated well and relaxed his heart, he could live for a few more years.
Chen Qi was stunned for a long time and whispered: "...... So what do we do? ”
"Hmm."
Yang Yuying laughed, "I think this casino is quite interesting, since you have come in, let's play first." ”
Chen Qi: "......"
But Yang Yuying has no gambling money.
Chen Qi touched his purse, now that it is the end of the month, he still has more than one or two of his pocket money left, and there is still private money hidden at home, which adds up to seven or eight taels of silver.
Or is he going to get the money?
Chen Qi asked softly: "Master, do you want to win back all Zhou Yan's gambling funds, as long as he has no money in his hand, he will naturally not gamble again." ”
Yang Yuying rolled her eyes: "What's the situation with Zhou Yan, you really don't know it in your heart?" Bet with him at this time, do you still want to win? ”
As she spoke, she paused again, thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "But what you said can't be all wrong, but not now." ”
Chen Qi was even more at a loss, and when he was hesitating, he saw Yang Yuying walk to a middle-aged man who was playing not far away.
When the middle-aged man saw Yang Yuying's face, he was a little stunned and at a loss.
In such a mixed place, it is really rare to see such a beautiful and beautiful little girl as Yang Yuying, he slightly straightened his sitting posture and rubbed his face, so that the expression on his face was a little softer: "Little girl, this is not the place you should come." ”
Yang Yuying smiled: "It should be said that it is not the place where you should come...... Don't you dare go home? ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, and his face suddenly became solemn: "What do you mean?" ”
"You have two sons, there is no old man, there is a good wife in the family, you just sold a batch of leather goods from Dongzhou, earned a lot of money, hurried back to Qizhou, bought silk for your wife on the way, rouge gouache, bought sugar gourd for your son, in order to go home day and night, into the city are locked at night, but, you entered the house and hurried out for a while, wandering on this street for two days without returning, why?"
