Chapter 767: Gambling

"Is the Danshu Fu expensive?" Shen Huimin was immediately overjoyed.

"Expensive, the Danshu talisman that can fly, one should cost tens of thousands of imperial coins."

"Tens of thousands of imperial coins......" Shen Huimin subconsciously glanced at Zhu, who glared at her and stuck out his tongue.

"Yes, at least tens of thousands, better ones, more expensive, hey...... Huimin, our family has no money, and my father has a lot of things he wants to buy. Shen Wan sighed.

"Daddy wants a power stone?" Shen Huimin's eyes rolled.

"Yes, after you gave Daddy that superb energy stone last time, Daddy's cultivation has increased greatly, but it's still a little bit away from a breakthrough, just a little bit, presumably, another piece...... I'm just saying, let's talk about it...... Ahem...... Tell me about it......" Shen Wan saw that Zhu's face was not good, and immediately coughed twice in embarrassment.

"You two, don't do your job, but spend money all day long, although the Shen family has some industries, but the profits are meager, inside and out, you have to feed hundreds of people, five years ago, you spent money to buy a power stone, the Shen family's funds almost had problems, and later, Hui Min clamored for a flying sword, and even emptied the family's foundation, if you are still tossed like this, the Shen family will close sooner or later." Zhu snorted coldly.

"Ahem...... Huimin is a girl, it is right to buy a better flying sword for self-defense, I am here...... It's a bit undeserved, don't worry, I won't buy energy stones in the future......" Shen Wan swore and said.

"Buying is definitely going to be bought, and that's what you do. When the Shen family's financial resources recover, I will buy you some more energy stones, so that you don't have a sad face all day long. Zhu sighed.

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am." Shen Wan was immediately overjoyed.

"I didn't say buy it now, so don't thank you too soon." Zhu Shi glanced at Shen Wan.

"Uh-huh, no hurry, no hurry."

"By the way, in a few days, I will go to Tianfu for a trip, and I will stay for a few days, I am afraid it will take more than a month, and I may not come back until the New Year, you two will settle down, don't toss around."

"Madame, don't worry, just go, I'll help you keep an eye on Huimin."

"Look at me, I'll watch you." Shen Huimin scoffed.

"Don't make noise, in short, if any of you are restless, in the future, don't think about buying things."

"Of course, of course. Hey, ma'am, didn't we go to Tianfu last year? What's going on this year? ”

"My brother-in-law has given birth again."

"Born again?" Shen Wan's eyes widened and said, "Didn't he already give birth to six?" ”

"Yes, this time I gave birth to the seventh one, but I am really prosperous...... Hey, our Shen family ......" Zhu glanced at Shen Huimin, with a hint of melancholy on his face.

"Our Shen family is very good, you see, Hui Min is so well-behaved. By the way, why don't you let me and Huimin accompany you? Shen Wan hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Nie Jiaqiao has been a little messy recently, you and Huimin stay at home better, I'll go and go back quickly." Okay, I'm tired, let's rest for a while. Zhu seemed to have his mind aroused, his heart was heavy, his brows were tightened, he put down the needle and thread in his hand, and walked into the inner room.

"Dad, why don't you have more children?" After the Zhu family left, Shen Huimin asked.

"This ...... Your mother is a little sick and can't have children for the time being. Shen Wan hesitated for a moment and sighed.

"No way?"

"There is a way, I see that the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Qiyang Mountain" wrote that there is a beast called Lushu, and if you eat it, you can reproduce."

"Then why not catch it?"

"Grandma, that's in the flood generation, the mountains are 100,000, and it's just a legend, you can't find it, you can catch it, you can catch it......"

……

Time passed unconsciously, and it was only a little more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and the weather was getting colder and colder.

The number of people paying rent has gradually decreased, and many short-term workers have gone home, but the Shen Jiadong compound has not become idle.

The mountains of grain in the warehouses in the East Compound began to be transported to the big cities, and every day there would be a team of horses carrying the grain out of the East Compound.

Zhou Sen found that in addition to those porters, some tall bears began to appear in the horse team, those big men were not afraid of the cold, wore leather armor, carried blades, and were extremely arrogant in the east compound, and some workers would be beaten and scolded if they were not careful.

This strange phenomenon caught Zhou Sen's attention.

Zhou Sen has been at the Shen family for more than two months, and he has never seen these people appear, and these people have all come with the horse team.

On this day, another group of rugged men with unfamiliar faces came with the horse team.

"Brother Tube, who are those people?" Zhou Sen Zhu was strolling around the Shen Jiadong compound, and when he slipped to Zhou Sen's side, Zhou Sen pointed to the group of big men who were resting by the well and asked.

"Underground Dart Master." Zhu Guanzi glanced at it, lowered his voice and said, "It's all rough people, don't mess with them." ”

"What is an Underground Dart Master?" Zhou Sen looked puzzled, he had heard of the dart master, but he had not heard of the underground dart master.

"It's just some people who are not qualified to be bodyguards, secretly undertaking some business and mixing a bowl of rice to eat, our Shen family is operating some agricultural products, which are small and thin, and we can't afford to hire those regular dart shops, so we can only ask some underground dart masters to accompany them for protection."

"Why please, remember not before?"

"This year's weather is abnormal, especially cold, I heard that many places and drought and floods, harvest, famine, that is, on some official roads, there are green forest robbers infested, it is said that in some places, there are people who occupy the mountains as kings, often hundreds or thousands, the government can not cope with it. We're pretty good here, it's just some petty thieves, and hiring some underground dart masters is enough to deal with it. ”

"Oh......"

"By the way, do you know Huimin?" Zhu Guanzi suddenly asked casually.

"Huimin, who?"

"Shen Huimin." Zhu Guanzi was stunned, he saw that Zhou Sen was not pretending.

"I don't know." Zhou Sen shook his head.

"However, she said she knew you and asked you a few times." Zhu Guanzi's face showed a hint of suspicion.

"Oh...... Are you talking about the girl who came to the East Compound last time? ”

"Mmmm, that's her, she's our Shen family's young lady." Zhu Guanzi's spirit was lifted, and he looked at Zhou Sen with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see through Zhou Sen's internal organs.

"I don't know, I've never seen her."

"Really?" Zhu Guanzi looked suspicious.

"Really." Zhou Sen nodded affirmatively: "If she says she knows me, she must have recognized the wrong person!" ”

"Oh......" Zhu Guanzi's face seemed to be a lot more relieved.

"Pillar, hard, hard!"

"Good!"

Just when Zhu Guanzi and Zhou Sen were chatting, suddenly, there was a sound of cheering and coaxing, the two looked over, only to see that by the well, a large group of people gathered in a circle, and the two hurriedly squeezed over, it turned out that it was a porter who was wrenching with an underground dart master on a small wooden table.

The two of them were in a state of stalemate, the green tendons on their necks were bulging, and their faces were flushed.

"One, two, three!" Suddenly, the dart master shouted, and suddenly exerted force, and the porter fell down, "Haha, give money and money, just like you bear, you still want to compare with Lao Tzu." ”

The porter looked frustrated, pulling out a few Imperial Coins from his bosom.

It turned out that everyone was idle, and someone proposed to compete to see who had the best hand and made some small bets.

"Who else is coming? Come one by one. "After the victorious dart master stood up straight, his figure was extremely majestic, like an iron tower, and at first glance he was a powerful man.

Another porter went up to meet him, but he just shouted "one" and then fell down.

Several porters lost one after another, and a group of porters were not convinced, but they were helpless.

"Call the iron pillar." A porter suggested.

"Yes, yes, we actually forgot about the iron pillar and called him."

"Go, call all of you, uncle, I'm not afraid of wheel battles, haha......" The dart master laughed arrogantly.

Soon, a good deed person called the iron pillar that was hiding in the room to make a fire.

"Just you?" The tower-like dart master looked down at the dwarf pillar with a look of contempt.

"Come on." Tie Zhu didn't say much, and put his hand on the wooden table.

"How much is the bet?" The dart master was not in a hurry, and had a playful look on his face.

"Fifty Imperial Coins."

"Fifty...... Hahaha, no, no, five hundred! To bet or not to bet? ”

"Five hundred...... I won't gamble anymore......" Tie Zhu hesitated for a moment and shook his head. Five hundred imperial coins is a large amount for a porter, equivalent to nearly half a month's salary.

"Can I advance five hundred Imperial Coins?" Zhou Sen asked Zhu Guanzi beside him in a low voice.

"Yes."

"Brother Tiezhu, I'll help you out of five hundred, if you lose, it's mine, and if you win, you win half of us." Although Zhou Sen and Tie Zhu have known each other for a short time, they have a good relationship, so naturally they don't want to see Tie Zhu discriminated against.

"Good!" Tie Zhu glanced at Zhou Sen, gritted his teeth, and nodded fiercely.

The atmosphere became enthusiastic, and almost the entire workers of the East Compound gathered around, and everyone hoped that Tie Zhu would win, after all, Tie Zhu was the trump card of the East Compound.

The two squatted down, their arms clenched, and in a "Go!" , the two of them worked at the same time.

An unexpected scene happened.

The two of them shook their palms and shouted "one, two, three", and the arm of the dart master, whose muscles were like old tree roots, was directly knocked down by the iron pillar, and there was no confrontation process at all.

The dart masters were all sluggish.

No one thought that this dart master who had been killed all the way was so vulnerable, especially a group of dart masters, and it was even more incredible, after all, the iron pillar and the dart master's figure were not at the same level at all.

The workers in the East Compound were not surprised, for them, it was not a surprise.

"Give money to money." There are workers urging.

The tall dart master blushed, took out some fragmentary banknotes from his arms, counted five hundred imperial coins and handed them to the iron pillar.

Underground dart masters are also people at the bottom of society, although the income is not thin, but they are used to drinking in large bowls and eating meat in large pieces, and they usually live relatively poorly, and five hundred imperial coins is not a small amount for them.

"He accepted the challenge just now, he was too tired, I'll come, five hundred imperial coins!" A dart master volunteered, walked to the wooden table, and squatted down to step down.

"Okay." Tie Zhu didn't say much, glanced at Zhou Sen, seemed to have confidence, nodded, squatted down the horse, and shook the palm of the dart master.

"One, two, three!"

The two of them counted at the same time, and then exerted their strength at the same time.

With a "bang", the dart master's arm fell in response.

"Hahaha, give money to money!"

The workers shouted earth-shattering cheers, urging the dart master to give money, and the dart master took out the money with a blushing face.

"Who else?" Tie Zhu continued to squat and stride, and asked in a loud voice.

"Me!" A dart master couldn't stand the naked challenge of the iron pillar, shouted, walked to the wooden table, shook the wrists of the two, and directly "one, two, three" to fight.

With a "bang", the dart master's lips turned white because of excessive force.

"Give money to money"

……

Next, Tiezhu accepted seven challenges in a row, destroying all the way, and winning thousands of Imperial Coins. This situation was maintained until the appearance of the underground dart head after the settlement of the accounts was completed.

The head of the underground dart is a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a figure like an iron tower, aged about forty, with two thick eyebrows black like a sword, and a heavy sword behind his back.

"I'll compare it with you, if I win, you will return all the money you just won, and if I lose, you will give the same amount. What do you think? The leader of the underground dart master asked the reason, and then asked.

"This ......" Tie Zhu glanced at the sturdy figure of the dart, his face showed a look of timidity, and then glanced at Zhou Sen, after all, this money is not his alone. Tie Zhu is a man with great strength, but he is not very courageous.

Zhou Sen nodded at the iron pillar, and the iron pillar dared to fight.

The leader of the dart master and the iron pillar stood up, put their arms on the wooden table, crouched down and clenched their hands.

The atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

The two of them began to count at the same time: "One, two, three!" ”。

A blood-boiling scene appeared, the two were actually evenly matched, the bulging muscles of the arms were full of strength, and the green tendons on the neck were bulging, full of the masculine beauty of the male.

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

The underground dart masters and workers all shouted frantically, and the east compound was noisy.

"Peng!"

With a loud bang, the wooden table that had been placed in the Shen Jiadong compound for several years was actually shattered under the huge strength of the two of them, turning into a pile of sawdust.

The battle between the two is not over.

The two of them were still squatting and walking, maintaining their body balance, their arms hanging in the air, and at this time, the two of them were already blood-red, as if they were burning.

One minute.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

The two remained motionless, like sculptures. Obviously, when the two are opponents, neither can overpower the other.

The battle situation is already in a stalemate, and both of them are carrying it to the death, after all, this is a bet of thousands of imperial coins, and no one wants to admit defeat.

Twenty minutes later, the faces of the two of them had turned iron-blue.

What was originally a noisy East Compound became quiet, suffocating quiet.

Just when people didn't know what to do, suddenly, the dart head leaned back slightly, and with a slight pull, the iron pillar hurriedly pushed back to maintain the balance of the body, and between the electric flint of the iron pillar tilting backwards, the action of the dart head was slightly pulled and turned into a push, and the palm of the hand was loosened.

This pull and push, with the help of the force to use the fire, the iron pillar was caught off guard, and he was already working hard, and with a push, the whole person actually flew up in the air, with a "bang", he fell heavily on the ground, and with a "click", a crisp fracture sound sounded in the east compound.

"Ah......h

A group of workers hurriedly surrounded the past and picked up the iron pillar, and between them, the right arm of the iron pillar had been broken, and Bai Sensen's bones had been poked out, drenched in blood, and it was unbearable to see.

"You cheat, you cheat!"

A group of enraged workers surrounded the dart masters, and the dart masters around the underground dart heads drew their swords with them, and for a moment, the swords were rattled.

The number of workers far exceeds that of the underground dart masters, and many of them carry flat poles and other objects in their hands. The workers of the East Compound have been getting along for a long time day and night, and have established a deep relationship, Chef Luo and Chef Lei, who were onlookers, rushed to the kitchen, each carrying a pig-killing knife to support, and Lu Axe was also carrying an iron axe in his hand, staring at a group of mercenaries sullenly.

Outside, Sister-in-law Peng and Sister-in-law Sun each held two kitchen knives and stared at their man nervously, for fear that their man would make a mistake.

A group fight can happen at any time.

The scene got a little out of control, and no one expected that a simple game would turn out like this.

In the face of the surging workers, the dart masters did not panic, holding the blades in their hands, forming a circle, looking around with a cold face, full of murderous intent. These dart masters are well-trained, so naturally they will not take a group of honest farmers seriously.

Of course, although the dart masters are not afraid, the people in the East Compound have a numerical advantage, and they are locals, so they do not dare to act rashly and provoke trouble.

Looking at the murderous dart master, the workers did not take the initiative to take action, forming a stalemate.

Seeing that the scene was out of control, Zhou Sen hurriedly looked for Zhu Guanzi, but found that Zhu Guanzi didn't know when he had left, and there was no figure of Zhu Guanzi around.

Zhou Sen did not hesitate and took a step forward.

"Everyone be quiet first, this is the Shen family's East Compound, the East Compound is a reasonable place, no matter who does something wrong, they will be punished."

Zhou Sen didn't want to come out, but at this time, no one came forward, it was likely to cause a big disaster, and after the matter became big, it would inevitably have an impact, and it would be a little difficult for him to stay quietly in this Shen Jiadong compound until the spring of the next year.

"Xiao Zhou, Tiezhu's hands are broken, this breath must not be swallowed." A worker said with a sad look on his face.

"Yes, we don't bully people in the East Compound, and we must not let people bully!"

The workers are getting more and more emotional.

"Yes, the people of our East Compound must not let others bully, but our East Compound will never bully others with more people. Let's put the guy down first, if you don't give an explanation for this matter, no one will want to take half a step out of the Shen family. "Zhou Sen cut the railway.

"Yes, yes, if you don't give an explanation for this matter, no one wants to take half a step out of the East Compound, everyone put down the things first, Xiao Zhou is the smartest person in our East Compound, and he will definitely give us an explanation."

"Uh-huh......"

A group of workers took a few steps back, put down the raised poles and other objects, and still formed a huge circle, surrounding a group of dart masters.

"Tiezhu's arm is broken, what do you think?" Zhou Sen walked in front of the dart.

"The skills are not as good as others, what do you want to do? I don't want that money, so I should give it to him as a soup and medicine, don't say that my brother is bullying people. The dart head dragged the heavy sword in his hand, grinning and confused.

"According to what you say, if you don't have the same skills, you deserve to have your hands and feet cut off?"

"Of course."

"Okay, I'll make a bet with you, if I lose, Tiezhu's matter will be settled, if I win, you will give Tiezhu the cost of medicine and the salary for the loss of cultivation, how about it?"
