Chapter 72: 72: Gambling Idiot
After lunch, the white eyebrows turned around.
It looks a little dejected.
As soon as everyone looked at his emotions, they knew that things were not going well.
Without waiting for everyone to ask, Bai Mei took the initiative to speak.
"Daddy said that the gambling idiot is in Wangcheng, it's true. But this person has a perverse temperament and likes to pretend to be a ghost, and always likes to wear a lotus mask to show people. The lotus mask on that face happened to come from the Thousand Faces Pavilion, and the name was 'Birth Lotus'. In twenty years, the gambler appeared in the Thousand Faces Pavilion twice, and five years ago, it was the last time he appeared in the Thousand Faces Pavilion, and the purpose of his appearance in the Thousand Faces Pavilion was to create the intoxicating lotus mask. Three years later, the gambling idiot and the enemy met, and were tortured by the other party to the point of being half-alive, Wanguan's net worth was ruined, and the person disappeared from the vast horizon. Occasionally, the news that the gambling addict is still alive from the mouths of the people in the market is also difficult to distinguish between true and false. Some people say that they saw the gambling idiot dragging a broken leg in the downtown area, and some people say that the gambling idiot appeared in the broken temple in the east of the city...... And so on, it does not stand up to verification. ”
"It's hard to find!" Su Cardamom frowned, "I don't understand, in this case, why did the big white shopkeeper conclude that the gambling idiot is alive in the royal city?" ”
"Intuition." Bai Mei smiled bitterly, "Daddy said it was intuitive! ”
"What......" Su Cardamom seemed to be choked by Bai Mei's words, "Isn't it, your old man really said that?" ”
The white eyebrows spread their hands.
"I also have a gut feeling that the gambling idiot is in Wangcheng, and he is not dead." Ji Shu said, "Sometimes people's lives are very fragile and can be shattered at the touch of a button, and sometimes, people's lives are like weeds. ’”
He had seen with his own eyes on the battlefield that a little wind and ashes could blow the fruit of life into the dust and crush it through the speeding wheels, that was the real life like a mustard, mercilessly harvested by the scythe of death. He has also seen people brave hunger and cold, spread out strong willpower to support the heavy body, until the last moment miraculously saved.
As long as you still have a strong desire to live, then God will also leave a glimmer of mercy for you.
Fate is such a strange thing.
Cardamom Su: "The question is, where do we find gambling addicts?" ”
There was a brief silence.
"Are there any gambling addicts, let's go to the Tailai gambling house." Ji Mo broke the silence, "The gambling idiot is just a character that Bai Mei suddenly remembered. ”
This sentence is in one sentence.
It's better to be able to find a gambler, and not being able to find it doesn't hinder their action.
The regret on Bai Mei's face suddenly dispersed. yes, almost putting the cart before the horse.
"Senior brother," Ji Shu said, "I want to make an effort to find a gambling idiot." Perhaps he will give us some proverbs. ”
Jimo: "Huh? ”
Ji Shu analyzed: "According to the white shopkeeper, the gambling idiot has appeared in the Thousand Faces Pavilion twice in the past 20 years, then, the first time the gambling idiot came to the Thousand Faces Pavilion must have been built not long ago, so the big shopkeeper gave us the statement of 'within twenty years', based on this, the age of the gambling addict should initially be around thirty-five years old, or more than thirty-five years old - those who can become 'idiots' are teenagers who become famous." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Mei: "Brother Mei, how does the big shopkeeper know that it was the gambler himself who came to the Thousand Faces Pavilion to customize the mask?" The rules of our Thousand Faces Pavilion never ask the secrets of the guests. ”
"Oh!" Bai Mei looked at Ji Shu with undisguised adoration in his eyes, and praised, "Ji Zhenming, you really impress me!" - Daddy said that the gambling addict has a proud temperament and loves to wear masks, but he is not afraid of others knowing his identity as a gambling addict. "If you have a name and a surname, why hide your head and show your tail," is the original words of the gambling idiot when he came to the Thousand Faces Pavilion to customize the 'Shenglian' mask - my father personally received the gambling idiot, at that time, it was true that as Xuan Ming said, the gambling idiot was just a rebellious teenager, and he was lonely and cold. My dad said that the gambling idiot seemed to be casual when he said this, but in fact, his tone was full of arrogance and frivolity that could not be concealed. However, what is puzzling is that when such a person said such a thing, his face was actually covered with a veil, only two cold star-like eyes were revealed, and the name written in the registration was not his real name, it was precisely the word 'gambling idiot'! Xu saw his father's face showing a different color, and the gambling idiot smiled happily and said to his father, 'See me! The situation forced me to leave. ”
Ji Shu nodded: "He is indeed an arrogant person." ”
Su Cardamom secretly thought: "The gambling idiot was wearing a mask at the time, how could the white shopkeeper conclude that people were 'happy to smile'!" It's really strange and weird, it seems that in front of celebrities, a thousand faces and stones are not exempt from vulgarity. ”
Ji Mo said: "What Xiao Shu and Bai Mei said makes sense. Later, the gambling idiot described it as miserable, and it seems that his enemy is not a good stubble, and he is not light. ”
There was a sense of regret in his tone.
Su Cardamom: "Break its ignorance, fall into its pride, and destroy its ambition?" ”
Ji Shu: "Cardamom is reasonable. This is a means that makes him more desperate than killing him. A person's physical injuries can still be treated, but the mental blow is the real destruction, the light case is a collapse, the serious case can almost be insane, life is worse than death. ”
The same is true on the battlefield.
Ji Shu suddenly remembered the general, the general is a strong-willed person, and he also used "stifling his momentum and destroying his will" on the battlefield, and mentally disintegrated and collapsed the enemy.
General, is he okay? When the hope is high, the army is surrendered to the armor......
I'm afraid it's not good.
At this time, Li Zhun, the king of stability, who was galloping leisurely immediately, sneezed for no reason.
"Li Tong, this king heard that Yu Qian'er has reported to Shiying, and Ji Xiaoming is also in the royal city? Another day, be sure to send an invitation to the king, inviting him to come to the palace for a while. ”
The general tightened his reins, "Whoa-" and ordered his guards.
Be! Rajah! ”
Ji Shu didn't know that someone was beating him from a distance, and continued: "If the rumors are true, then the enemies encountered by the gambling addict are probably even more cruel. But I don't know why gambling idiots make enemies with others? ”
It seems that Ji Mo is not the only one who regrets the gambling idiot.
Su Cardamom said leisurely: "I have heard that the more serious grudges are nothing more than 'the hatred of killing the father and the hatred of taking the wife'. ”
Su Cardamom's words undoubtedly suddenly brought a magical relaxing effect to everyone, and everyone couldn't help but smile after listening to it.
With a smile, Ji Mo concluded: "From this point of view, the gambling idiot we are looking for is around thirty-five years old, with an average height, unknown appearance, unknown fat and thin, and a temperament or extreme or depressed or other. ”
However, Su Cardamom's focus was not here, she said to herself: "If this gambling idiot is really as the white shopkeeper said, he can be regarded as a lover, and there are some strange contradictions that cannot be explained...... Doesn't look like a bad guy in general. But why is it only called a 'gambling idiot' instead of a 'gambling god', a gambling saint, a gambling demon, and a gambling monster'? ”
Ji Shu felt that Su Cardamom was getting more and more cute.
It's smart and cute.
So Ji Shu explained on the side: "Probably this person is handsome and has a good temperament, he is only obsessed with gambling skills, but he rarely participates in gambling in person, he does not deliberately make people bankrupt, and he is not eccentric, so he has to be called an 'idiot'." ”
Su Cardamom listened thoughtfully.
Bai Mei followed Ji Mo's words and said, "His favorite mask 'Shenglian' must still be there. ”
Ji Mo: "It should still be there, but it's incomplete and hard to say." ”
Bai Mei: "Since there is such an anatomy of Fang Cai, there is a direction for looking for gambling idiots, right?" ”
"No, there's still a little bit of uncertainty. - Where might the gambler go, his area of action? ”
Ji Mo and Ji Shu said this sentence almost at the same time.
This tacit understanding is worthy of being the same as the teacher and the elder brother together.
"Taverns and gambling houses!"
But for a moment, Ji Mo crossed his fingers and twisted his thumb: "If it weren't for the complete forgetting and severance, probably these two places would make him forget." ”
In contrast, these two places are easier for people to vent their pain and despair.
The barrier to entry is also low.
Three teachings and nine streams.
Su Cardamom seemed to see a huge net of wisdom, and slowly and step by step towards the camp towards the gambling addict.
However, it's still hard to find in a short period of time. The sub-city of Wangcheng and the outer city markets are open, there are many streets and alleys, and casinos are easy to find, but there are many taverns of all sizes. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for a day or two.
Unless you know the habits of gambling addicts.
Moreover, looking for gambling addicts is suitable for unannounced visits, but it is not good to make a big fanfare.
What to do?
Coincidentally, several people turned their eyes to Ji Mo.
Ji Mo gave them a look back, and after a short silence, he made a decision.
"Leave it at that."
There is curiosity about gambling addicts, however, there is always a priority in doing things, and there are trade-offs.
As for the gambling idiot, whether you can see it or not, the right is handed over to fate.
After the discussion, Ji Mo went to the casino and A-Ning guarded the house.
Boss A-Ning was unwilling, pouting in protest, why should I stay at home? I also have a girl's curiosity, okay?
Besides, it's the same girl, why can't Sister Su go?
Ah Ning said that the protest was effective, and everyone collectively thought of her brilliant medical skills, and took the initiative to ignore her not very clever skills, plus she loved this girl, and waved her hand unanimously to let her go with her before the protest was over.
Before going, Ji Mo put on a mask, Ji Shu took out a mask made by himself and put it on for Su Cardamom, and then casually smeared his face a few times, and put on makeup for A-Ning. As for Bai Mei, Ben grew up in Wangcheng, and for eighteen years, he had a handsome face that his acquaintances had long been familiar with, and he wanted to go out like this, but Ji Mo still prepared a green and yellow thin mask for him.
Bai Mei smiled bitterly, but it was a pity that this jade tree was in the wind.
Su Cardamom was happy in her heart. The moment Ji Shu put the decent mask on her, she felt that she had taken a sip of the mellow honey she had licked, wrapped in a bubble of happiness, and floated gently. Ji Zhenming cared about her, and the movement of his fingers brushing the mask was clearly with a different kind of cherishment.
Everyone changed into their ordinary clothes, and then they set off.
Bai Mei's great change to Ji Shu's magic hand also gave a "dumbfounded" person.
Looking at this skillful appearance, Ji Xiaoming must have done similar things. Also, Ji Mo and the others all looked calm and calm, and they were not surprised......
Ouch, how much surprise and joy does Ji Zhenming have that he doesn't know?
