Fu Xiaojiu's face didn't show any expression, and his eyes kept staring at the bamboo tube in the dealer's hand.

However, the other people had different expressions, Wan Lin felt that Fu Xiaojiu had won a lot, even if he lost back two hundred taels, it didn't matter, after all, these two hundred taels were not his own silver.

The innkeeper took out the handkerchief from his arms, wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose, and immediately focused his attention on the bamboo tube again.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang ......"

The dealer's wrist is extremely flexible, shaking the bamboo tube up and down, he has only one thought in his heart, that is, let Fu Xiaojiu lose!

"Smack!"

The bamboo tube was heavily buckled on the table, the dealer took a deep breath, and everyone stared at the bamboo tube with bated breath, not even daring to blink their eyes.

"Open!"

With the loud voice of the dealer, the three dice appeared in front of everyone again.

"Hahahaha...... It's small, it's small! ”

Seeing that the number of points this time was small, the dealer couldn't help laughing.

The shopkeeper was afraid that he had misheard, so he quickly stretched his neck and glared to confirm the number of dice.

"Haha, it's really small, it's small!"

The shopkeeper laughed out loud, but he quickly put it away.

Except for Fu Xiaojiu, all the people who bet on the big one this time sighed and shook their heads in frustration.

Fu Xiaojiu said with an indifferent expression: "Okay, I've had enough, it's time to go to dinner." ”

Fu Xiaojiu did it on purpose.

She had been praying in her heart just now that she would lose once this time, otherwise winning so much silver was not a good thing, but an unnecessary trouble.

People can't be too greedy, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Fu Xiaojiu lost back two hundred taels of silver, which really made the shopkeeper feel a lot more comfortable.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't ask for silver, and directly took the remaining two hundred taels of silver tickets.

When she was cashing in the cashier, in order to show her generosity, the shopkeeper deliberately said to Fu Xiaojiu: "Don't look at your loss, but your luck today is really good!" Later, I'll ask the guy to add a dish to your table and add a lot of color to you! ”

Fu Xiaojiu didn't say anything polite to him, "I love fish, give us a squirrel mandarin fish." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" The shopkeeper happily agreed, wanting to send her out quickly.

Fu Xiaojiu was very content, she used thirty taels of silver to win back one hundred and seventy taels of silver, and used one hundred taels to help Fang Guangcai exchange the gambling account, and she could give Fang Youcai another sixty taels of silver principal, and she could still have ten taels of silver left, which was regarded as hard-earned money.

The shopkeeper personally sent Fu Xiaojiu and the others to a private room, and asked someone to serve tea before leaving.

Wan Lin guessed Fu Xiaojiu's thoughts, poured her a cup of tea, and asked with a light smile: "The lady just lost on purpose, right?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled, "Xianggong is right, I lost on purpose." ”

When Xu Jingshan heard Fu Xiaojiu's words, he immediately showed an expression of appreciation to her.

Nianzhen asked puzzledly: "Xiao Jiu, why do you want to lose on purpose?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu explained with a smile: "I won four hundred taels of silver with thirty taels of principal, which is enough for the casino shopkeeper to treat me as a plague god." If I win again, no matter how much or too little, it will make them look at me even more unpleasantly. I only have to lose once to make sure we leave safely with the money. ”

After Fu Xiaojiu explained, Nianzhen understood Fu Xiaojiu's good intentions.

Wan Zhang bowed his hand to Fu Xiaojiu in admiration, "Fu Langzhong, you are really well-planned!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled humbly, "As long as people are not greedy, nothing will happen." ”

Shao Jiacheng now has no thoughts about Fu Xiaojiu except for admiring Fu Xiaojiu, he picked up the tea bowl and stood up, and said respectfully: "Fu Langzhong, I salute you!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu saw that Shao Jiacheng had no evil thoughts in his eyes, and he was also happy to accept his cup of tea for himself.

Fu Xiaojiu lost very well this time, not only let them smoothly walk out of the casino with the money they won, but also played the role of "advertisement", the innkeeper looked at the people who were crazy bets with high emotions, not only did not blame Fu Xiaojiu for winning more than 100 taels of silver, but also thanked Fu Xiaojiu.

After Fu Xiaojiu and the others were full of wine and food, they asked the guy to call the shopkeeper and wanted to discuss with him about redeeming Fang Guangcai.

The shopkeeper was soon called over by the guy, Fu Xiaojiu told him about Fang Guangcai, and the shopkeeper suddenly understood Fu Xiaojiu's intention to gamble.

The shopkeeper felt a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, Fu Xiaojiu's money was still in his hands, and it was better than being taken away by Fu Xiaojiu.

So the shopkeeper happily handed over the money with Fu Xiaojiu with one hand and the other hand, and released Fang Guangcai from the firewood room.

Fang Guangcai didn't know what was going on when he came out, and he was stunned when he saw Fu Xiaojiu and the others.

Wan Lin told Fang Guangcai about their previous stay at Uncle Fang's house, saying that they came to the rescue because of Uncle Fang's loyal face.

Fang Guangcai heard this and quickly knelt down to thank Fu Xiaojiu and the others, Wan Lin supported him and persuaded him not to step into the casino for half a step in the future, otherwise no one would redeem him in the future.

And he has been working hard outside for more than half a year, not only did he not get a penny back, but he owed a lot of debts, not to mention that his father and mother would be sad, and his daughter-in-law might run away.

Fang Guangcai was not a gambler in the first place, but he went to the casino with an itch, and after such a toss, he didn't have the courage to gamble anymore.

Fang Guangcai solemnly swore that he would not step into the casino again in this life, and after thanking Fu Xiaojiu and others for their kindness, he finally set foot on the way home.

Fu Xiaojiu's merits are complete, his mood is exceptionally good, and the others also feel relieved, and they can all rest with peace of mind tonight.

But as soon as she relaxed, Nianzhen had to think of Liu Bi's matter.

Nianzhen took Fu Xiaojiu's hand and asked, "Xiao Jiu, who do you say Brother Xu is?" As soon as I closed my eyes, Liu Bi was still stabbed in the back, and I don't know when I will forget it. ”

Fu Xiaojiu was also pondering about Xu Jingshan's affairs, and guessed: "He doesn't feel like a dart master to me, more like a ranger." However, not everyone can afford chivalry, and some people rob the rich and help the poor in the name of chivalry, and kill innocents indiscriminately, which is also hateful. ”

Nian Zhen muttered, "Ranger? I've heard that there are such characters in the rivers and lakes. ”

Fu Xiaojiu's eyelids were already a little heavy, and he said in a fluttering voice: "But whether Brother Xu is evil or not remains to be investigated, and the road to the capital is still long." After a long time, we will know when the time comes. ”

At this time, the main owner who was being discussed was squatting on the side of the bed and sharpening his knife.

The knife in Xu Jingshan's hand was polished by him with a whetstone, and his shadow could be clearly reflected on the blade.

This knife has been with him for twenty years, it is made of meteoric iron, it is extremely sharp, coupled with his careful maintenance, although it has been twenty years, it has not lost its edge at all.

After sharpening the knife, Xu Jingshan wiped the knife carefully, and then carefully put the knife into the scabbard, holding the knife tightly and muttering to himself with a cold look in his eyes: "We will definitely succeed this time!" ”

Everyone still got up in the morning, and it snowed for half the night last night, and the road was more difficult.

Towards evening, when it seemed that we would be able to reach the next county seat after walking for another hour, when we passed a path lined with trees on both sides, suddenly seven or eight fierce bandits burst out of the woods.

They jumped out and shouted, "If you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy it!" ”

The carriage of the rich Xiaojiu family happened to be in the front, and Uncle Zhao quickly grabbed the reins, so frightened that his heart burst out.

Fu Xiaojiu also heard the shout of "leave the money to buy the road", and Fu Xiaojiu's hand touched the token that Pang Ba gave her on his waist.

"Lady, can this token really be useful?" Wan Lin was a little worried, and wanted to take the token from Fu Xiaojiu's hand, "Give me the token, I'll try it." ”

Fu Xiaojiu didn't give him the token, and got out of the carriage directly, "I don't think Pang Ba will deceive us." ”

Fu Xiaojiu had already come to the outside of the carriage while speaking, she stood high on the carriage, raised the token in her hand, and said to the bandits: "This is the token that Pang Ba gave me, and he said that with this token, he can keep us safe on the road." ”

Fu Xiaojiu's words really worked, and a bandit led by a few steps came over, and after glancing at the token, he asked questioningly: "Who are you?" Why did he give you the token? ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked at him coldly and replied, "I am his savior." ”

"A lifesaver?" The bandit leader was surprised.

Fu Xiaojiu put away the token and said, "If you don't believe it, forget it, just come and kill us." ”

The "......" bandit leader was stunned.

He had never seen a woman so fearless when he touched them.

"How did you save Pang Ba?" The bandit leader was curious.

Fu Xiaojiu replied expressionlessly: "I healed his illness and extended his life for a few more years." ”

The bandit leader was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Are you Langzhong?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu nodded slightly, "What, you are also sick?" ”

Bandit Leader: "......"

Fu Xiaojiu said impatiently: "How did you decide, give me a good time!" ”

Bandit Leader: Can you give us some face as bandits? Don't we want to lose face?

"The road is facing the sky, please do it!" The bandit leader put away the knife and made way for Fu Xiaojiu.

"Thank you." Fu Xiaojiu neatly got back into the carriage.

Fu Xiaojiu's conversation with the bandit leader just now, Wan Lin and the others heard it clearly, Xu Jingshan was ready to draw his knife, but he didn't expect Fu Xiaojiu to let the bandit leader make way for them in a few words.

After Fu Xiaojiu returned to the carriage, she saw Wan Lin, Wan Zhang, and Nian Zhen all admiring her.

Wan Lin bowed his hand to Fu Xiaojiuyi, "The lady is really courageous!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu took out the token again, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm so bold, it's that Pang Ba gave us the token that is easy to use." However, if this group of thieves knew that Pang Ba had washed his hands, I don't know if they would let us go. ”

As soon as Fu Xiaojiu's words came out, Wan Lin and the others were a little afraid.

Wan Lin immediately shouted outside: "Uncle Zhao, hurry up and catch the car!" ”

Borrowing Fu Xiaojiu's light, the bandits did not intercept a passerby this time.

To say that the news among the bandits spread really fast, as soon as Fu Xiaojiu and the others arrived in the county seat, they received the news that Pang Bajin washed his hands.

Pang Ba sent invitations to each mountain, inviting them to participate in their own feast of washing their hands.

What Fu Xiaojiu didn't know was that since those bandits from the mountains had participated in this banquet, they had been secretly observing whether Pang Ba was talking or not, and he really didn't do the business of robbing houses anymore.

After a period of observation, they found that Pang Ba really changed his ways, and he also did a good job of growing vegetables, raising pigs, and digging herbs, and several mountain bandits also began to learn from him.
