Chapter 117: I'm Afraid of Losing (Thanks to xiaoyi1956)
Most of the gamblers gathered in the east end are accustomed to gambling, addicted to gambling, and their attention is on the gambling table, and few people pay attention to the farce at the south gate.
In the center of a row by the window was a large square table filled with gold and silver ingots and jewelry.
A young man in a purple-pink satin robe stepped on a bench, hunched over, and shouted at the upside-down dice cup on the table: "Little! ”
The dice are turned over, four points, one two, and sure enough, it is small.
The man on the opposite side scolded: "Frustrated! He pushed the three remaining pieces of gold in front of him.
The young man grinned and said, "Accept and accept!" ”
The man said in a rough voice: "Let me take a fart!" When did Lao Tzu meet you, didn't you lose all the money? Are you a cheater? ”
The young man grinned and said, "How can it? I just have that kind of craftsmanship, and I don't dare to pay the Quartet, let alone the courage to meet you. ”
The man said, "Yes." He scolded and walked away: "You kid wait for me, and when Lao Tzu goes back and gets the money, let's come on." Don't run. ”
The young man waved his hand to send off the guest: "Okay, Master Chen, you go slowly." He happily picked up the gold cake and took a bite, then raised his hand and threw it into a pile of loot in the corner of the table.
The young man's dress with bells and whistles is too eye-catching in the crowd, and it is difficult for Mu Dian not to pay attention.
I saw that this person was in his early twenties, with eyebrows like sideburns, narrow eyes, and peach blossoms in his eyes, and he looked like a cunning fox at first glance.
Pink was inappropriate for a man, but his robe was embroidered with a large area of dark purple peony flowers. Stacked one by one, bewitching and uncharacterized, it looks really miserable.
Mu Dianke looked at the large pile of gold beads and silver ingots in front of the man, and thought to himself, it was him.
Step over.
The young man was beckoning everyone to continue, when he saw Mu Dianke leading Mei Longxue over, he raised his head and smiled: "This girl, oh no, what is this lady doing?" ”
Mu Dianke said: "When you come to the casino, you naturally come to gamble." ”
"How does Madame want to play?"
Mu Dianke said: "Is it up to me to decide how to play?" Childe, aren't you afraid that I will choose your shortcomings? ”
If an ordinary man makes this a stir, for the sake of face, he will definitely pat his chest and say that it is up to you.
The man who took the peony medicine looked at Mu Dianke with a smile: "It's better to choose your own longboard than to choose your own shortcomings." I don't know what kind of play Madame is good at, guess the size or compare the pips? ”
Easily threw the problem back.
Sure enough, it was a fox.
Mu Dianke said: "What's the meaning of guessing the size than the pips." I think Childe has achieved a lot of results, he must be an expert, and it is difficult to gamble if he wants to bet. ”
The man smiled: "I would like to hear about it." ”
"Take turns to report the number, one person reports the idea, one person shakes the dice according to the idea, the person who shakes the dice wins, and the person who does not match the number wins. What does Childe think? ”
The young man smiled, "Sounds interesting. It is also fair to take turns to report the number. But ......" the man frowned slightly, and said sincerely and regretfully, "I'm not good at it." ”
Mu Dian knew that the radical general method did not work for this person, so he changed his strategy and said with a smile: "Gongzi is a master, there is only a difference between knowing and not knowing, and there is no difference between being good at it and not being good at it." The little girl entered the casino for the first time, and she didn't understand the rules, so she had to ask her son to take care of her. ”
This sentence not only praised the other party, but also pointed out that it was the first time to gamble with others, showing weakness. Unexpectedly, the boy still didn't accept the move, holding his chin with one hand, seemingly thinking seriously, but actually observing Mu Dianke's reaction.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move. Mu Dianke didn't speak, just looked at the young man quietly.
Childe smiled slightly: "How much does Madam plan to bet?" ”
Mu Dianke glanced at Mei Longxue, Mei Longxue hurriedly took out a bloodstone from her purse, put it on the table, and asked crisply, "Is this bet enough?" ”
The bloodstone is red all over, smooth and translucent, without a trace of impurities, and those who know it know that it is a priceless treasure at a glance.
The gold beads and silver ingots in front of the young man are stacked beautifully, but they all add up to not as valuable as this small piece.
The young man's expression was obviously moved, but he squinted at Mu Dianke and Mei Longxue with a pair of phoenix eyes. After a while, he smiled slightly: "I don't bet." ”
Mei Longxue blurted out: "Why? ”
The young man smiled: "Because I'm afraid of losing." ”
The answer ...... Mu Dianke's expression froze, Mei Longxue froze, and the crowd of onlookers was quiet for a moment.
Then someone began to coax loudly: "Ann boy, you are too cowardly!" A mother-in-law with a child scares you like this? It's a shame that Lao Tzu used to think so highly of you. ”
"It's just, it's just a broken stone, and it's not all over if you press all the money in front of you. Not to mention anything else, you can't let a woman press down on the momentum. ”
"It's too embarrassing for us Gusu people to admit defeat like this."
"Didn't Gongzi An take a fancy to this little lady who is like a flower and jade, and he is reluctant to do it, right?"
The son surnamed An looked at everyone with a smile, and looked like I don't gamble if you say anything.
Mu Dianke's first challenge ended in failure.
The temptation of bloodstone is too great after all. The son surnamed An refused to fight, but the people next to him were eager to try. In the end, a wealthy businessman in his forties bet 1,000 gold to answer Mu Dianke's game.
Everyone didn't know the depths and didn't dare to bet on the treasure, only a few people, after their eyes went back and forth between Mei Longxue and the rich merchant a few times, they followed the rich merchant and pressed a thousand taels of silver.
There were five dice, and the rich merchant came up and gave a very difficult number: "Five o'clock." ”
Although everyone felt that the rich businessman was not kind, they couldn't find any reason, and after listening to the report, they all looked at Mu Dianke with inquiring eyes.
Mu Dianke glanced at Mei Longxue: You come. ”
Mei Longxue was stunned for a long time, and finally waited for a good opportunity to show her skills, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she said, "Really? Mother, did you really let me come? ”
After getting Mu Dianke's affirmative eyes, Mei Longxue ran forward two steps quickly, fearing that Mu Dianke would regret it, and happily grabbed the dice Gu from the little guy's hand.
Mu Dianke saw that her expression was wrong, and just as she was about to stop her, she saw Mei Longxue holding the dice Gu with both hands and shaking it vigorously, and the broken sounds of "click", "click" and "click" came out of the dice Gu one after another, which was not very noticeable in the noisy casino.
But Mu Dian could hear it.
Mei Longxue also heard it.
Mei Longxue lowered her face, with a pair of big watery eyes with timidity, and looked at Mu Dianke pitifully.
Mu Dianke's expression was indifferent, he raised his hand and threw the bloodstone into the arms of the rich merchant, and said, "This game, count me as losing." ”
He stretched out his hand towards Mei Longxue. Mei Longxue hurriedly put down the dice Gu and ran towards Mu Dianke, and took out a blue gem from her purse. Mu Dianke took the gem and put it on the table, and said, "Let's start another game." ”
