Chapter 66: The Gambling House
Xiao Man's eyes suddenly lit up, but after a while, they dimmed again, and said with a bitter face: "I can't eat, I'm going out in two days." β
Xiao Man has always said that carrying out tasks is going out, Ling Xiaoxiao has long known that Fengxian Pavilion is not just a simple teahouse operation, but when it comes to any tasks, she will never ask too much, and has always maintained not to cross this boundary.
"Then when you come back, I'll make it for you." Ling Xiaoxiao comforted, "It just so happens that I was going to try it out at the beginning. β
Xiao Man had a happy expression on his face, "Then it's okay, don't lie to people." After saying that, he stretched out his finger, "Pull the hook." β
Ling Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand, his little finger hooked his little finger, "Hang yourself on the hook, you can't change it for a hundred years." After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
When the two were about to go back, they saw an unexpected person.
Ling Xiaoxiao pulled Xiaoman and quietly followed behind the man, until he came to a place before he stopped.
"Grand Gambling House-" Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the big characters on the plaque, but he didn't expect that this person still had bad habits and was still hanging around in the gambling house, I really don't know if this person knows that his wife and children are no longer in the world.
Seeing that the person entered the gambling house, Ling Xiaoxiao pulled Xiao Man and was about to follow up, Xiao Man hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Xiao Xiao, do you know where this is?" You're going to go inside. β
"You know, it's not a gambling house." In the past, this place was a place where she used to hang out.
Xiao Man looked surprised, "You actually said it so easily, if you let the pavilion master know that I went into this kind of place, you have to punish me, no, I can't go in, let's go back." With that, he was about to pull Ling Xiaoxiao and prepare to leave.
Ling Xiaoxiao soothed: "It's okay, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows, and you must have never been to this kind of place, let me tell you, it's fun inside." β
A wavering look appeared on Xiao Man's face, and Ling Xiaoxiao continued: "Anyway, just like this once, no one will know. β
Xiao Man finally compromised, "Okay, but just this time." β
While she hadn't regretted it, Ling Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled her into the gambling house.
The gambling house was noisy, full of men's shouts, and the air was stuffy with different smells.
Ling Xiaoxiao frowned uncomfortably, and took Xiao Man through the crowd and looked for several tables before he saw the person he was looking for at the table in the corner.
Watching quietly, the table was divided into two places, large and small, and the people around the table were all staring at the dice Gu in the center of the table with full attention.
The people in the gambling house picked up the dice Gu and shook it up and down, left and right, and everyone's eyes followed the direction of the dice Gu closely, when the dice Gu was placed on the table, the people at the table looked at each other, and then they all placed the silver on the left and right sides of the table according to their own consciousness, when Ling Xiaoxiao saw the man take out a silver ingot, his brows furrowed tightly.
The man put the silver on the big side, and then stared at the dice Gu tightly, when the points were opened, there were two two and one one, small, the man's disappointed look appeared on his face, but there was not much fluctuation.
The person next to him pushed the man and said, "Hey, do you still have anything to lose?" If you don't, let it go to someone else. Obviously, the man was already a familiar face in the gambling house, and everyone laughed when they heard this, and they also echoed behind: "Yes, don't lose when the time comes, you won't even have pants, but don't scare those women from good families like last time." β
Everyone laughed, and Xiao Man on the side obviously had never encountered such a scene, let alone heard such a straightforward meat joke, blushed, and tugged Ling Xiaoxiao's sleeve, "Xiaoxiao, let's go out quickly." β
Before she got the answer she wanted, it was obvious that Ling Xiaoxiao had no intention of going out, so she patted Xiaoman's hand and said, "You wait for me next to me, soon." β
Seeing that she had no intention of going out, Xiaoman looked left and right helplessly, then nodded, withdrew from the crowd, and found an empty corner in the gambling house to stay.
Seeing that everyone was laughing at him like this, the man blushed and said with confidence: "This time is different, Lao Tzu is rich and can afford to lose." After saying that, he took out two ingots of silver from his bosom and put them in front of him.
"Yo, where did you get rich, it won't be your daughter who gave it to you." The man next to him joked.
The man didn't feel ashamed at all, but felt accustomed to it, and said, "So what? That's my daughter, I should have raised Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu couldn't have raised a white-eyed wolf for so many years, right? β
"Yes, yes." The crowd responded.
"Come, come againβ" The man's voice suddenly doubled up, urging the people in the gambling house to play another game.
The atmosphere on the table rose again, and Ling Xiaoxiao, who was on the side, clenched his hands into fists, so angry that his face was expressionless, he didn't expect that there was such a shameless father in the world, he sold it to Fengxian Pavilion as early as when Wen Jie was six years old, and now he still came to this gambling house with the silver given by Wen Jie to gamble money, and the most hateful thing is that behind the dilapidated grass house, Wen Jie was still lying there quietly.
The dice Gu in the hands of the gambling house swayed again, and when it was put down, everyone began to bet again, shouting small and big at the same time, Ling Xiaoxiao stood at the table unmoved, someone pushed her rudely, and scolded in his mouth: "If you don't bet, get out, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu." β
Ling Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, took out the money bag from her arms, took out the only four pennies, and put them on the table with small words, the table was full of white flowers, only her four pennies were particularly dazzling, throwing all kinds of disdain from her side, and some people scolded in their mouths: "If you can't afford to gamble, don't come to the gambling house." β
"Does anyone set the amount of money that can be wagered by the casino?" Ling Xiaoxiao is colorful.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one stands up to refute, as if there is no such one.
The corners of his mouth hooked an arc, looked at the gambling house people who were still fluting, and urged: "Since there are no regulations, let's open it quickly." β
The people in the gambling house first shook it for a moment, and then opened the dice Gu, two one, one three.
Really.
After a few rounds like this, Ling Xiaoxiao's face has changed from the previous four cents to a small pile of silver, and the people who laughed at her before were silent at the moment, and some even silently followed her footsteps to place bets, Ling Xiaoxiao saw through it and didn't say anything.
And the man was still attached to his side, lying on the edge of the table, shouting "big, big, big......" with an almost obsessive expression.
Ling Xiaoxiao sneered, it seemed that this man was afraid that he would not be able to withstand two rounds, and the silver on his body should be about to bottom out.
