Chapter 214: The Gambling of the Golden Mountain (9)
In the last book, Wang Er, a helper in the gold mine, was stunned, and when he was betting against the 'Wei' dice rolling, he was temporarily assigned by the gold mine supervisor to carry the cold and soju to the bank of the gold panning river, so he put the pair of mercury-filled dice on the ground casually, and scared away the opposite 'Wei' with an absolute advantage of a pair of six points, and successfully 'won' a golden bean from his hand.
As mentioned earlier, that '魖' was actually scared away by Wang Er's action of casually putting the dice on the dice because of cheating on the dice...... However, the problem is, Wang Er was stunned that he didn't know this!
The two stunned people took the golden bean for granted that it was 'lost' to him, so they carefully hid the golden bean and the two dice on the ground in the inner pocket of the sweat coat against the meat, and happily carried two jars full of soju and sent them to the riverbank construction site.
When they found out that the golden beans in Wang Er's hand were actually won back in this way, Zhao Qi and the others, who were lively and self-conscious, and were well versed in gambling, started to think crookedly...... No, didn't you trick the second stunned man into a corner where no one did, and snatched the golden bean, what are you thinking, this judge?
It is precisely because those gold diggers who are willing to eat the hardships of sifting gold are so poor at home that they are forced to eat this bowl of rice, so they all regard the money in their hands as their top ...... In the gold mine of panning for sand gold, how to prevent others from calculating oneself is a basic skill, except for the bracket Wang Er.
It is precisely this kind of environment in which everyone is at risk, and everyone around them looks like the bad guy who has bad intentions about him, that allows the sand gold mine owners to find a way to easily control these unruly gold diggers...... As long as I can protect you, I don't have to worry that you won't listen to me.
As long as the gold mine owner promised that every gold prospector who wanted to leave the gold mining area after finishing his gold panning work, as long as he could go through a careful search to prove that he had not hidden gold (the wages earned must be exchanged for broken silver from the mine owner), he could take the wagon that went out to buy rice, vegetables, grain, oil and other daily necessities from the gold mine, and followed the coachman escort to a nearby village and town with inhabited people; Wait until you get to the town, then get out of the car and leave on your own.
(The sand gold mines are all in the open and uninhabited area, and there are forty or fifty miles of mountain roads from the nearest village)
Don't underestimate this kind of petty promise, it's about whether a gold digger can live to take the wages he earns from his hard work out of the gold mine...... In those dark corners where it is difficult to distinguish with the eye of sight, I don't know how many pairs of uncontrollable evil eyes are greedily looking at you and the money bag in your arms!
Leaving the procurement wagon protected by armed guards, the dozens of miles of deserted mountain roads around the mining area are a chasm that gold diggers can never cross alone, and in the half-man-high barren grass on the edge of the rugged mountain road that cannot be seen at a glance, I don't know how many innocent bones have been thrown by those ruthless people!
It is through this means that the owner of the sand gold mine can control hundreds or even thousands of gold diggers with only twenty or thirty thugs equipped with long daggers and short knives, and he is not at all worried that these people will collude with each other to riot.
As long as you soak your bare lower body in knee-deep river water for a day, and taste the kind of deep bone marrow, which makes every bone crevice in your body itch involuntarily, and only the strong liquor that is poured into your throat is like swallowing a flame can suppress a bit, you know that this kind of work will definitely not last long, and it is likely that even a full construction period (from late spring to early autumn casual work, these five months are called a construction period) is a luxury.
If you can earn enough money to buy land and land for the rest of your life, it is wrong to leave one day earlier and stay one more day!
However, if you want to get a large piece of dog's head gold from the river sand, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to get rich all of a sudden...... Something like this that hits a lot of luck may not happen once in a mine for more than ten years.
Therefore, many gold diggers who are a little more active will pay attention to those who go down to the river with them to pan for gold...... As long as you can quietly use some means during the gambling season and win a few more people's wages, it will be enough for you to eat and drink for the rest of your life.
So Zhao Qi and the others put the idea on the golden bean of Wang Erzhuo at the beginning, and wanted to play a game on the card table, and pit this Erzhuan!
However, Wang Er was stunned, but he was stunned: "Don't play, there are too many rules like what kind of horse hang pai gow of yours, and I listen to people who are so angry, and even my brain is jumping straight up, I can't learn it...... Unless you're willing to play dice with me like the wine gossier! ”
As soon as he said this, he saw that Zhao Qi hated him so much that his teeth itched, and he refused to complain: "I don't know if these two stunned people are really stupid or pretending to be stupid!" When he threw the dice, he not only rushed to throw first, but also paid a whole piece of gold beans for this bet, not to mention finding someone to exchange one or two...... A few of us are suffering from not taking advantage of any money in our waists, if this is won by him, who will have the money to pay him? ”
Listening to Zhao Qi, Wang Er was stunned that the golden beans he won from the strange hand in the wine world were half the size of a broad bean, and they weighed more than two dollars...... If you want to convert it into silver, it is too little to give fifteen taels, who has so much money to pay him?
Wang Er was stunned, he didn't know how difficult it was to stand in the water and sift gold with a mallet like him...... Seventh Master, if I can have fifteen taels of silver, then go home early to enjoy Qingfu, who will still suffer every day! ”
Since they didn't dare to gamble with Wang Er, these people turned their minds to the monster of the wine altar hidden in the wine shed...... There are more and more gold diggers who can't resist the temptation of the golden bean in Wang Er's hand, and then with the wages they have saved, they go to the wine shed to find the strange hand hidden in the empty wine jar.
Gradually, the wine shack that used to be secluded and few people turned into a noisy place with a lot of people after working every night.
Occasionally, someone would leave happily with a silver hairpin or a pair of brass rings resting on their hands...... Needless to say, these are the ones who got the lottery from the '魖'.
More of them left dejectedly and scolding, presumably they should have touched the mold in the '魨'.
Listening to Zhao Qi, not everyone is a good man who is willing to gamble and lose, these days there are a few red-eyed men who want to get up and smash the wine jar under the hands of the wine altar monster, so as to snatch the bets that are included in the wine altar.
However, as soon as these people opened their mouths to scold, they were swarmed by the impatient gamblers waiting behind them, and then threw them out the door: "If you still have money in your pocket, then hurry up and place bets; If you don't have any money, hurry back to the shed and raise the corpse, but don't stand in the way of everyone's wealth! ”
Hearing this, Yang Congxun was puzzled and asked Zhao Qi: "Get rich?" What to make a fortune? ”
Seeing Yang Congxun asking him a question, Zhao Qi's face suddenly turned red: "Good man, that wine altar monster is ...... It doesn't have eyes! Even if you do a thousand tricks in front of it, it doesn't know. ”
