Chapter 15: The Little Tea Girl
Omar City is not a big city, but it is densely populated, the market is hot, and all kinds of shouting and selling are endless. Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, auction halls, casinos, **Fengyue Field, etc., everything.
Xiu Yuan is like a country man entering the city for the first time, everything is fresh, and he keeps stopping and looking around. The wide streets are lined with shops, and there are countless stalls for sale and sale.
Xiu Yuan kept squatting down in front of the stall, poking this and touching that, it was nothing more than some ordinary herbs, ordinary weapons, various materials, ordinary beast spirits obtained in some ruins, etc. Although Xiu Yuan felt fresh, it was also difficult for these things to enter his eyes.
Xiu Yuan inquired around, and finally found the Golden Sword Pavilion located in the middle of the city. The rows of attic jade universes stretched into the distance, and many disciples and disciples came and went, and the doors were like a city.
Xiu Yuan came unexpectedly, the pavilion master Chen was overjoyed, extremely happy, although he lost in the treasure hunt, Xiu Yuan only gave him a bottle of gold pill, but he still received Xiu Yuan very warmly.
In the evening, the grand feast, Chen Pavilion Master personally pulled Xiu Yuan to sit on the table, and introduced his only son Chen Bufan to Xiu Yuan, and the elders were divided into left and right, eating meat and drinking wine together, so unhappy, drinking until late at night, all drunk.
On the second day, the young master Chen Bufan pulled Xiu Yuan to play, stuffed Xiu Yuan with a white porcelain bottle, Xiu Yuan pulled the cork, and it turned out to be more than ten black and red small pills. Xiu Yuan's mind was dizzy, so he had to follow Chen Bufan and walk through the streets.
Chen Bufan's face is like white jade, he looks like a woman, a sissy, and he doesn't look like him at all. But there are a lot of ways to mix and play. The two of them stopped in front of a store, and Xiu Yuan looked up and saw a gilded plaque hanging in front of the door, which was inlaid with four big characters "small and big". In front of the door, there is a flow of people coming in and out, and it is very lively.
Xiu Yuan was extremely curious, and followed the young master Chen Bufan into the foyer. Entering the hall, this building is divided into three floors, in the shape of a pin, each floor is full of oval tables, the table is full of people, the voice of the people is boiling, very noisy.
"Young Master Chen, what are these people doing around the table?" Xiu Yuan looked puzzled.
"Hehe, brother, when you first came in, did you pay attention to the words on the door plaque? 'Fight big with small', these people are playing this game now. Chen Bufan looked cunning.
"Oh, how do you fight big with small?"
"Let's go, I'll take you there. Chen Bufan pulled Xiu Yuan to a table with fewer people.
"The two of you are also here to play, oh! It turned out to be Young Master Chen, disrespectful and disrespectful! Ermao! Quickly move two comfortable chairs and let these two masters sit down. A person in charge of the field recognized the young master Chen Bufan and hurried to be courteous.
Two very comfortable soft chairs were placed next to the oval-shaped round table, and the dealer of this table was called Wang Er. Greet everyone to fight big with small.
"Brother, you see, in the center of this table, there are four big squares close to each other, respectively, south, east, west, and northwest, and an antbeast is placed in it, and then covered with an iron-beaten cover made of fine iron. Look, the little hammer in the king's second hand, he struck the iron cover violently, and the ant beast inside the cover was frightened, and ran desperately inside the cover. We guess on the outside, and if we get it, we win. ”
"Oh, I see, it's a charade!" Xiu Yuan grinned and suddenly realized.
"Yes, charade! You see, this Wang Er is the dealer hired by the boss of the sub-backstage, and if we bet right, we will give him a beat. For example, if you win three small pills, you have to give him one. He is responsible for presiding over everyone's guessing of words, knocking on the iron cover, and organizing everyone to bet. Chen Bufan explained.
"Young master, then we can only guess the words by luck, there is no basis at all!"
"That's right! The masters with strong divine sense will not come here to play these tricks, they are all people who come here to play some people who are looking for fun, and those who bet on treasure have nothing of value in their hands, nothing more than some ordinary herbs, fierce beast spirits, and small pills, like us, there are still a few people who directly sell small pills. ”
"Come on bro, let's try our luck!"
"Good!" Xiu Yuan grinned.
Clang!
Wang Er violently struck the thick iron cover with a small iron hammer, only to hear a chirp, and the ant beasts in the cover were running wildly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take the south, south, north, west!" Wang Eryi shouted in his voice.
"I'm going to bet on the east!"
"South!"
"Steady is the West!"
"His grandmother's is North, okay!"
"Then let's bet on it too!" Xiu Yuan took out two small pills and bet them on the west.
See everyone make a bet.
"Okay, everyone, look good!" Wang Er removed the cover with both hands, everyone's eyes widened, and the head stretched out, to see where the ant beast was squatting.
Xiu Yuan is also looking forward to it, twelve or thirteen years old is still childlike, it is the age of fun, and he suddenly became interested, and he also stretched out his head, staring at the cover, to see what was inside.
After the cover was opened, there was a blood-red ant more than ten inches long, this ant beast used to live underground, afraid of light, when it saw the light, it squatted on the table and did not move, and the position where it listened was the color head of everyone.
"Hey, I guessed right, a middle-aged man on the opposite side guessed that it was Nan, and the big ant was really squatting on the word Nan.
In the blink of an eye, Xiu Yuan lost two small pills, and Chen Bufan bet on the east and also lost five small pills. Chen Bufan is really a big deal, as soon as he shoots, he will bet a lot, of course, he will win a lot, if he guesses wrong, he will lose all his money.
Xiu Yuan was extremely excited, and shot one after another, losing and winning. The feeling of betting on the right place was much cooler for him than touching Yun Ruoxian, and he danced happily.
Xiu Yuan never dreamed that there would be such a fun game in the world, and the original inventor was undoubtedly also a genius in playing, Xiu Yuan sighed with emotion.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the opposite table of players, which attracted everyone's attention. It turned out that a drunkard had staked his daughter as a treasure.
Xiu Yuan was suddenly annoyed, and hurried forward to take a look. The drunken old man was kicked to the ground by a middle-aged man who was five big and three thick, and beside him stood a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, extremely thin, obviously malnourished for a long time, and her hair was fluffy, and it was difficult to comb it even if she had a comb. Dressed in tattered black clothes, his skin was terrifyingly black, like the bark of an old elm, chapped, and extremely ugly, and indeed very eye-catching.
"You're fucking old, it's not her fault that your daughter is ugly, it's your fault that you brought her out to be scary. After kicking the old drunk to the ground, the big man clapped his hands and returned to the betting table and continued to play his game.
The thin girl trembled and trembled, and quickly squatted on the ground to help the drunk old man.
"She's not my daughter, it's a girl I picked up from collecting firewood in the mountains, don't look at her ugly, but her body has the fragrance of tea, very refreshing. The old man patted his ass and got up, talking to himself, and no one paid any attention to him.
Thinking about it, this old man must also be a frequent visitor, and he has been deeply poisoned, and he actually treats people as bets, which is indeed sensational.
Xiu Yuan looked at the ugly woman in front of him carefully, she was indeed very ugly, but she did exude the fragrance of tea around her, which was very rare. Intuitively, Xiu Yuan felt that this woman was not simple.
An inexplicable impulse is dominating Xiu Yuan, Xiu Yuan looked at the bottle in his hand, there were still nine small pills left in it. Xiu Yuan walked up to the drunk man and said with a smile: "It seems that you really want to play with two, can I exchange the nine small pills in this bottle for this woman?"
The drunken old man was dumbfounded, feeling that the young man in front of him was not playing tricks on him, nine small pills, that is a big deal, ordinary people can't take it, it is obviously a loss-making deal, no one wants to have this ugly girl, it is really very bad.
Xiu Yuan handed the bottle to the old man, the old man's hands trembled, and he opened the cork, and sure enough, there were nine good Xiao Huandan, lying quietly in the bottle.
"Little... Master, you really want to exchange, but... No regrets. The old man looked grateful, but he didn't quite believe it.
"Hehe, go play, I don't regret it. Xiu Yuan smiled slightly.
"Well, go ahead, this young master is your new master, take good care of him, he bought you with nine small pills. The old man grabbed the emaciated girl's fluffy hair and pulled it back, reminding the girl clearly in this way.
Xiu Yuan was suddenly annoyed, and he was very dissatisfied with what the drunk old man did. The girl trembled, and was simply sold by the old man, lowered her head, and came to Xiu Yuan's side slowly, not daring to look at her new master.
Chen Bufan couldn't say anything on the side, frowning, but this woman was an eyesore, making people embarrassed, did the distinguished guest in front of him miss a woman, and he knew to take him to the Spring Fragrance Building to play. Chen Bufan teased Xiuyuan in his heart, he really didn't approve of the transaction of Xiuyuan, he felt worthless, and he felt unhappy, with an eye-catching burden, how to play.
", don't you want a woman to be crazy, such an ugly woman too. Haha...... "The middle-aged man who had just kicked and beaten the drunk old man laughed at Xiu Yuan at the table for doing this deal.
"What did you say?" Xiu Yuan suddenly jumped like thunder, jumped eight feet high, and punched the back of the big man's head.
"What the fuck, the little stinky lady is not going to die, dare to beat Lao Tzu?" The big man burst into anger, turned around, and raised his big fist to hit Xiuyuan.
"Stop! He's a distinguished guest of my Golden Sword Pavilion, who would dare to do it?" Chen Bufan shouted from the side.
Everyone took a closer look, it was indeed Chen Bufan, the young master of the Golden Sword Pavilion, and the big man suddenly withered like a frosted eggplant, and quickly bowed down again and again to apologize and withdraw from the field.
Chen Bufan felt extremely disappointed, and he couldn't say anything, so he returned to the pavilion with Xiu Yuan and the ugly girl.
As soon as the woman entered the Golden Sword Pavilion, she immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all commented on it, sighing about the length and shortness, and the men avoided it far away, this woman was too ugly.
The servants washed the woman, combed her hair, put on new clothes, and was a little more decent. The woman was so hungry that she didn't look up while holding her rice bowl, and the amount of food was amazing, which really frightened Xiuyuan.
According to the ugly girl, her name was Xiaocha, and she asked her where she lived and who her parents were.
Xiu Yuan is a distinguished guest of the Golden Knife Pavilion, and the Golden Knife Pavilion naturally does not dare to snub the little tea girl, although the person is extremely ugly, but it is quite honest.
Xiu Yuan also guessed what Chen Bufan meant, and whenever he went out to play, he left Xiaocha in the Golden Knife Pavilion so as not to be an eyesore on the street.
