Chapter 125: Tian'er's Father
After eating this pure meat feast, Ye Lan'er and Tian'er held hands with small hands, and continued to walk down the street with a big belly and a pregnant woman's step.
This was the first time they had taken such a leisurely walk since arriving at Xiyi King City. Ye Lan'er didn't know what she was busy with before, but Tian'er followed the gentleman invited back by Yu Feiyuan to study hard at home, and neither of them had ever come out to play.
Ye Lan'er looked around and sighed: "Hey, you said this place, there is no children's playground or anything, there is no place to play with a child like you!" ”
"Sister Lan'er, what is the playground?"
"It's a place for kids to play."
"Isn't it the street where children play?"
Ye Lan'er pursed her lips, not knowing how to talk about the modern playground with this small ancient specimen.
She looked around and saw that they were parked in front of a gambling hall. In front of the gambling hall, there is a signboard temperament, and small colored flags are fluttering in the wind.
The door of the gambling hall was open, and on either side of the door stood two burly men. looks fierce and vicious, tall and majestic, and looks like he's ready to blast out the guy who lost his pants and still won't leave.
Ye Lan'er smiled: "Boy, the playground is a place that makes you feel happy and feel refreshed." For example, here! ”
With that, Ye Lan'er pulled Tian'er and walked in.
As soon as I came in, I felt that this place was full of people, like a boiling cauldron. Everywhere is smoky, noisy and messy. A dozen or so people gather around a table and shout and drink, and after a brief silence, there will be a "ouch" or "oye" carnival.
There are a lot of people here, and the richly dressed or ragged ones all have their sleeves rolled up, and their heads are put together in one place, but they seem to be happy.
Ye Lan'er pulled Tian'er and squeezed into a gambling table for money, the rules of this table are very simple, bet on the size. This long table is covered with red felt, and a line is drawn with a brush in the middle, with "large" written on the left and "small" written on the right.
In the middle of one side of the table stood the guy from the gambling house, holding a bamboo tube and a dice, and his face was full of pride.
"Come, come, come! Bet on, bet on! The guy announced the start of a new round.
Gamblers who have long been gearing up have put their money in their hands in the position they think can change their fate, "I bet big!" "I'm big too!" "Small!" "Small!" "Great!" "Great!" ……
Ye Lan'er was driven by this "active" atmosphere, she reached out and took out a small piece of broken silver.
"Oh my God! Bet big or bet small? ”
Tian'er is small and almost buried by the people around him. He craned his neck and looked at Ye Lan'er: "Sister, you're not sick, are you, but you're here to gamble?" ”
Ye Lan'er touched his head affectionately: "The big gamble hurts the body, the small gamble is pleasant, don't tell Sister Fei Kite when you go back, do you know?" Tell me quickly, which one to bet on? ”
"Which bet do you like?"
"Don't, the kid is lucky, if you win, I'll buy you a kite, okay?"
"Come on, the kite I bought is not as good as Brother Gu's!"
Ye Lan'er poked Tian'er's head with her finger: "Little old-fashioned." You don't play I'll play! ”
She struggled for a moment, and finally slapped the piece of silver on the left side of the table, and shouted "Big!" ”
"Bet on leaving! Bet on it! The man shouted twice, and his mouth began to fragment.
He picked up the bamboo tube with his right hand, showed the dice that was going to be used with his left hand, and then put it in.
Immediately afterward, it began to shake like a wild wind. I only heard the jingling, banging, mommy, mommy!
The bamboo tube stopped in the eyes of everyone.
More than a dozen people were like dropped puppets at the moment, all of them stretched their necks and widened their eyes, waiting for the results to be revealed.
"Great! Big! Big! A crowd shouted frantically, as if they wanted God to hear their wishes.
"Small! Small! Small! The other group is willing to show weakness.
Take the bamboo tube away. "Three o'clock, small!"
"Ahhhh
"Wha!"
A dozen people are clearly divided into two states. The former collects money happily, and the latter tears and wipes away money.
Ye Lan'er cried with a sad face: "How can this be? Bad luck stinks! Play again and get back to basics! ”
Tian'er was speechless, so she had to hug Ye Lan'er's waist with all her strength, and dragged her out the door step by step.
"Sister! No more betting! ”
"Oops, play one more, one last one!"
"No way!"
"Why not! I have money! ”
"No, it's not good, if you continue to gamble, it is estimated that even I will have to pay others!"
"Why, I'm not that kind of black-hearted person!"
"How not? I think you're the kind of black-hearted person! ”
The two of them were tugging and turning in the noisy casino, but they didn't move much in place. Originally, this casino was a mess, and there were many women in the family who dragged their husbands back, so Ye Laner and the two of them were not very conspicuous.
But, as coincidentally, the owner of this gambling house had a whim today to see how good his business really was. With four attendants, he walked back and forth to inspect the lambs to the slaughter in the gambling house.
Then, he noticed the two teenagers pulling together in the center of the gambling house (Ye Lan'er has always been dressed as a teenager).
He glanced at it, suddenly stopped trying to leave, and turned his head to look again.
He wiped his eyes and asked a guy next to him, "Look at that little one, are his eyes blue?" ”
The little girl's eyes widened, and he sighed: "It's really, blue!" ”
The owner of the gambling house immediately put on a fatherly smile and walked in front of Ye Lan'er and Tian'er.
"Two, what's going on?"
Ye Lan'er looked at the owner of the gambling house and immediately knew his identity. She realized how she had just gotten lost.
"I'm sorry boss, our two brothers quarreled over a trivial matter, disturbing your business, let's leave now!" Oh my God, let's go! ”
After Ye Lan'er finished speaking, she took Tian'er's hand and hurriedly walked out.
The owner of the gambling house glanced at the little guy behind him, and the little guy understood and quietly followed.
"What should we do, my God, we're being watched." After taking a few steps, Ye Lan'er noticed the little tail behind her.
Tian'er glanced back from the corner of his eye, and said angrily: "It's not all your fault, I have to come to some casino." Is the casino a place for those of us who are serious kids? ”
"Oh, I'll go, you're still a 'serious child', are you very orthodox about your positioning? Guess what the hell they're chasing us? ”
"How do I know?"
"Sister, I'll find out right away." Saying that, Ye Lan'er winked at Tian'er, took his hand, and ran quickly.
The little guy behind was in hot pursuit, but when he came to an alley, he didn't know which fork in the road to go.
They discussed it for a while and decided to split up and chase after them. One of them ran and got mixed with something, and fell into the mud.
"Who doesn't have eyes!"
The little guy opened his mouth and scolded bitterly, but before he could see the person clearly, he was put in a sack, and he was beaten with a stick on the back of his neck and fainted.
When he woke up again, he found that the shopkeeper had let him chase someone in front of him. He was overjoyed, and his body had just moved, only to find that he had been tied up in half of a zongzi, and he couldn't move at all.
"You, why did you arrest me!"
Ye Lan'er took a wooden stick and slapped her palm, and then gestured towards this little guy.
Shaking his head, he threw away the stick and replaced it with a thicker one, and then answered the little guy's question: "What do you say?" I'll give you three numbers of time to answer your own questions, and if you get it wrong, the stick will be served! ”
The little guy looked at the bowl of big wooden sticks and swallowed in fright, but he still kept his loyalty: "In broad daylight, you tied me here, and there is no royal law!" ”
Ye Lan'er sighed, covered her eyes with one hand, and waved the wooden stick in her hand with the other, knocking it down with her head and face.
The little guy was beaten and screamed: "Stop fighting, don't fight!" I'm following you, and the shopkeeper is letting us follow you two brothers! ”
Tian'er frowned, looking old: "Why?" ”
The little guy gasped: "Because you have a pair of blue eyes." ”
"The people of Helian are all blue-eyed, what's so strange!"
The little guy rolled his eyes, not knowing what bad thoughts he had. Ye Lan'er took the wooden stick and gave him another meal.
I have to say that this trick is particularly useful, and after this little guy was patronized by the wooden stick, he immediately decided to know everything.
"Helian is a nobleman, most of them are in their tribe's station, even if they appear in this royal city, they are full of style, where would they appear in such a low-level casino like a little brother.
And, a few months ago, someone picked up a very valuable necklace near the official road, and when he took it to the pawnshop, he was recognized on the spot.
It was later confirmed that the necklace was worn by the lost young son of the protector Sun He.
Gongsun He's former wife was a woman from Helian Division, so his son had blue eyes and was about the same age as his younger brother.
The Taishi has ordered the whole country to look for his lost eldest son, and whoever finds the eldest prince will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.
Our shopkeeper thought that the little brother was most likely the son of the Grand Master, so he ordered us to follow. Actually, we don't have any malicious intentions, we just want to see where the little boy's family lives. ”
Ye Lan'er looked at Tian'er and then at Xiaowu: "What you said, is it true?" ”
"It's true!"
Little brother, you can go to the city to take a look, many of the city walls are written with the list issued by the Taishi himself.
"Just by virtue of a necklace, that Gongsun He decided that the owner of the necklace was his son?"
It is said that the necklace was made by the Taishi himself and was worn around the neck of the little boy. There is a carving of an ivory on it, which he also carved by hand. The master refused to recognize what he had made with his own hands. ”
Ye Lan'er took a deep breath and looked at the frowning little tuanzi beside her, but she didn't know what to say.
She swung her stick and knocked the boy unconscious, and untied the rope from him.
Then he took Tian'er's hand: "Tian'er, let's go home first." ”
"Nope." Tian'er replied.
Ye Lan'er asked anxiously, "What did you say?" ”
"I'm not going back to this home."
"Then you ......" Is it the powerful father of the person?
"I want to go back to the Great Xia Kingdom."
