Two people, two lights, two lights. Although the light is not big, it affects a lot www.biquge.info of money and the fate of many people.

Therefore, life is like a chess game, sometimes it is playing, but unconsciously you will find that your life and death will be hanging on the inconspicuous soldiers, helpless, but you have to bite the bullet and push the soldiers forward, and there is no possibility of turning back.

However, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that his fate is entrusted to that small soldier, but in the end he finds that he is not the one who plays chess, he can only watch the person who plays chess or step by step, or faint moves, but he is powerless and helpless.

There is no more helplessness in life than this.

Fortunately, most of the people present were just spectators, and this gamble had nothing to do with them, so they could watch it exciting and have fun. It's just that no matter how wonderful the game is, if the two sides of the game are motionless and stable like a mountain, there must be few people left who can stay on the scene to watch the chess, and it is like the imperial examination in ancient China, knowing that it will be the day of the list in a few days, and who has the patience to wait for the unveiling of the list.

After all, man is a very peculiar animal, and when he has an obsession, he is willing to wait for a few days, months, years, or even a lifetime. If you have no goal, even if it is a second, you are not willing to wait longer.

That's the way the game is at this point, and with the lights on both sides, all anyone can do is wait. When the sky gets dark, the clear moon hangs high, and the people in the square are sparse, and there is not much left. Even Sasha and Auston only left a few people here to guard, and they themselves have already left, after all, they are the so-called people who have a lot of gold coins a minute, how can they stay in this place to "go to jail".

It's just that this central square will become a place of everyone's attention in the days to come, and someone will always take a look at it: oh, the lights on both sides are very bright, and there is no sign of defeat on either side. When the coolies were working, there were always people who passed the news to each other like an underground party, "Hey, have you heard, the two lights are still on, and there is no sign of victory or defeat." Even when those businessmen are doing business, they talk about the price, and they can't help but talk about this gamble, and the friendship is as a little talk, and everyone laughs and comments, and it passes. If they are business partners, they can talk to each other in depth, talk about the possibility of winning or losing the game, talk about the changes and possible effects of the situation after the end, and talk about the most important question: how should they stand in line.

Time continued to flow, and under everyone's attention day and night, the gamble still passed for more than half a month, but the two lamps were still extremely tenaciously lit, as if they were really like the magic lamps recorded in the holy scriptures, to be illuminated forever, without the slightest sign of extinguishing.

And this perverse phenomenon has aroused widespread discussion among everyone.

"Have you heard that, it's been sixteen days now, and the two lights are still on. ”

"Really, how is this possible? I've been running back and forth on the business road, so the gamble hasn't been decided yet?"

You said that the lamps in our house are only enough to be lit for a few hours, and if they are kept on for a night, no matter how much you cut the wick, you will have to change the lamp oil at least twice, which is far worse than these two lights. ”

"This is called the layman to see the excitement, the insider to see the doorway, we don't understand the oil thing, but these two should have taken out the real treasures at the bottom of the box, and now it depends on who can't stand it first. ”

It's a pity that the insiders in their mouths can't see through this gamble, not only can't see through it, but also panicked.

"Long time no see, how is your business doing?"

"Drag your blessing, it will be okay. ”

"Where are those two lights still on today?"

"It's so bright, I passed by there just now, one side is snow-white, the other side is fiery red, it looks like it can be brighter a little longer. ”

"Hey, you say. Even if it is the best oil, it can be burned for four or five days at most according to that volume, what kind of method did these two families use to keep this light on for so long, this, this is really incredible. ”

"You ask me, who do I ask? It's just that the old guy from Auston has been in the oil business for decades after all, and it is possible that he has some unexpected treasures in his hands, and he has worked hard this time. But what the hell is going on with the electric light of the Western Border Trading House, it is as if it has popped out of a stone, and there is no wind at all beforehand. And have you heard? It is said that when the lights started to light the game, the governor of Sasha was said to not even need to start a fire, how could that be? ”

"Hey, but no matter what the result is, whoever wins and loses these two will definitely be able to monopolize this piece of business. I used to fantasize about the day when I would turn over and be the master, but now it seems that the gap is too big and hopeless. ”

"Isn't it, I still have to live like this in the future, and business is getting harder and harder. ”

Not to mention that the two businessmen lamented that the world was difficult here, and the gambling game in Manmani District was known to many people in Hawley District. Although they all regarded this news as a joke in the market, the lamp, which could be kept on for more than ten days, still aroused the curiosity of many nobles. Especially for those ladies and ladies who are full of food all day long, have nothing to do all day, and spend most of their lives spreading scandals and socializing, this slightly mysterious and incredible news can always be used as an after-dinner pastime, or an embellishment in sweet words, which is repeatedly mentioned and maintains its popularity in high society.

A few more days passed like this, and some of the usual idle and boring lazy people stared at the two lamps when they suddenly discovered an astonishing fact: the oil lamps of the Auston family had become a little smaller, and the lights had become a little dimer.

On the contrary, the electric lights of the Westside Comptoir still looked as bright as they had begun in the gambling game, showing no signs of exhaustion.

For a while, the news that the Auston family was going to lose spread all over the Manny district, and the whole Manny district seemed to be going crazy, and some people were ecstatic, eager to hang two strings of cannons in front of the door, and walk on the street and meet people to say how they are born with insight and are different.

For a time, there were not a few people who were bankrupt in Manni District, and some people could not stay in Manny District anymore and could only live in Helivan District. Some of them have fallen into hell and become completely indebted, becoming another "living dead" in Poole.

Another day passed, and the lights of the Auston family were finally extinguished.
