Although he knows that the gamblers in the casino and the prostitutes in the Qinglou may not know much more than the shopkeeper in the restaurant, Xiao Cong still wants to go to the casino and the Qinglou here, because he always feels that the style there must be different from the outside, anyway, the time is still very early from midnight, and if he goes on like this, he will still get nothing and have nothing to do.

Out of the restaurant, walk further along the Fifth Ring Street, and walk about a pillar of incense to the middle of the Fifth Ring Street, which is where the casino is located.

Xiao Cong stood under the huge black plaque, smiled coldly, and said to himself:

"There is no unified measurement of the value of circulation, I want to see what you bet on!"

But what happened in the casino was even more shocking to Xiao Cong than in the restaurant, only to see that there were only a few people in the richly decorated gambling hall, and the gamblers were not as enthusiastic as outside shouting that they couldn't control themselves, and there was nothing on the gambling table except shaking cups, how could this be gambled!

Xiao Cong and Hongxiang watched silently at the table for a while, and only after a few rounds did they understand the "mystery" of this, the gamblers here also came here voluntarily, but unlike the outside, the gamblers who came here had to abide by another rule - those who won the bet could leave, and those who lost the bet could not leave, and gambled until they won.

Ten rounds of one round, one round is determined to win or lose, as for those who win, they don't want to leave and have another round, that's another thing, but as far as Xiao Cong looks at this moment, there is really no one who wins and stays, and all those who win bets are happy and leave without looking back.

It's a novelty, but it's so boring compared to the casinos outside, there's no fear of going bankrupt, it's not exciting at all, what's the point of playing like this? But the faces of the gamblers who left were also happy, and they were no different from the gamblers who won by luck outside.

Xiao Cong looked at it for a while and felt bored, so he left.

Out of the casino, the next stop is the Qinglou, on the way to nearly a stick of incense, Xiao Cong's mind turned, until he walked to the plaque wrapped in big red flowers, and he didn't think of how to properly tell Hongxiang about it.

But the destination has already arrived.

Xiao Cong stopped, scratched his head and smiled, Hongxiang also stopped, looked at Xiao Cong, raised his eyes and looked around, and his eyes involuntarily stopped on the archway wrapped in big red flowers.

Walking from the restaurant to the casino, from the casino to here, Hongxiang certainly knew what Xiao Cong was going to do next.

But for some reason, two touches of crimson inadvertently slowly spread on Hongxiang's cheeks, and it lasted for two or three moments before it returned to its original state.

Xiao Cong's face was a little obscene, and he grinned:

"What, do you want to go in and have a look?"

I thought that this traditional person who had to scold him for "shamelessness" when he saw him flirting with the mermaid at that time would definitely despise him fiercely at this time, but this guy was just stunned for a while, and then nodded very seriously.

Xiao Cong didn't think deeply about this, but smiled a little surprised,

took out a folding fan from Mi Jiao, took out his gentlemanly style as the fourth son of the Xiao family, and walked in slowly with Hongxiang with an obviously worried face behind his back.

The layout of the building is charming, with red as the keynote, the gauze tent is long, and the screens are lined up, but it is not as colorful as in the green building outside, and there is no girl who leans on the hook bar and does not cover her body to show off her coquettish body, the atmosphere is quiet, and you can't find the slightest sense of absurdity and sinking.

In the middle of the ground floor is a red sandalwood staircase about three zhang wide, and on both sides of the staircase are all kinds of flowers and plants that are trimmed and beautiful, one by one, one by one, as if following the feeling of beauty in the heart, just right.

Generously climbed the stairs, paced in front of the closed Zhu Door on the second floor, listened to the movement inside, and thought that the scene was being staged inside, although Xiao Cong was not deeply involved in the world, he was by no means young, at this time his mind could not help but ripple, he smiled unkindly, and he didn't know what to say to himself at this time, whether it was a lack of determination or human nature, hey, who knows!

After walking through seven or eight closed Zhu doors, Xiao Cong stopped, paused in front of the open Zhu door beside him, folded the paper fan, and strode into the door.

Xiao Cong stood still in the middle of the room, gently patted the fan in his hand, and looked around with a smile. When I first arrived, I didn't know the rules here, so I could only pretend to be amorous, if there was any presumptuousness, it would be really embarrassing and embarrassing.

The layout in the room is not simple or cumbersome, there is a five-color bead curtain in the interval facing the Zhu door, the hollow wooden elevated shelves on both sides of the bead curtain are placed on each pot of emerald green Huan Orchid, a set of mahogany furniture is placed in the middle, the table is a set of chic celadon tea sets, the whole room is painted red, the red wall, the red floor, the south wall leans on a green gauze screen, on which the Mu Nu picture is painted, the brushwork is round and the lines are concise, quite a bit of famous charm.

After a while, the five-color bead curtain was gently brushed open by a Qianqian hand, and then a good-looking skin bag slowly poked out from inside, looking about twenty-three or four years old, with shaved shoulders and thin waist, cheeks and new li, handsome eyes and eyebrows, and cherry lips powdered, although it was not enchanting, but it was still slightly better than ordinary women.

She looked at Xiao Cong in a daze, and Ruhua's little face was full of consternation.

The corners of Xiao Cong's mouth slowly rose, outlining a polite and elegant arc.

The woman raised her chin behind Xiao Cong,

"Childe is going to ......"

How embarrassing it was to fall on Xiao Cong's heart this time, of course he knew what the good-looking woman in front of him was referring to-how could he go to the Qinglou and bring his subordinates, why, did he have to leave a soup for his subordinates after eating meat?

Xiao Cong smiled apologetically, turned his head and glanced at Hongxiang,

"You go to another room and wait. ”

Hongxiang did not pause, and fled as if flying.

Xiao Cong turned around and smiled apologetically again,

"Let the girl laugh. ”

The woman's face returned to normal, and she asked with a smile:

"Childe isn't a local, is he? ”

I think it should be some clue to be seen, Xiao Cong

Without concealing it, he asked rhetorically:

"How did the girl know?"

The smile on the woman's face did not diminish,

"There is no one in this city who has gone out to bring people with me, and this is the first time I have seen someone like you. ”

Xiao Cong shook his head, and the smile on his face was still concealed, but the folding fan that was constantly slapped inadvertently betrayed the apprehension in his heart. ”

"Come, Childe sit here. ”

The woman moved lightly, slowly walked to the table and sat down, Xiao Cong just moved his right leg, and moved his ass to the round stool just right.

"I'm afraid Childe didn't come here for that. The woman had a little charm on her face, and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Cong as she spoke.

The subtle embarrassment flashed away from Xiao Cong's harmless little face, pretending to be a lewd portrait of a vice Fengyue veteran, and teased:

"Oh, what's the matter?"

The woman laughed a few times,

"Although the popularity of this Yuanhou Lou is bleak, but I can see if I have the ability to find pleasure, my sister still has it, and you don't have that kind of color in your eyes. ”

Xiao Cong saw that there was no need to detour, so he took advantage of the sword to cut to the point.

"Sister, how can you say that the popularity here is bleak? I see that the front few doors are closed, presumably there must be a lot of excitement inside, although there are indeed a little fewer people than other places, but it's not only three or five, you say yes. ”

He raised his eyebrows at the woman very frivolously, and paused:

"Then again, why are there so few people here, and there should be an endless stream of such wonderful things, right? ”

The woman sighed faintly, and said with a little resentment:

"Childe is a person from outside, naturally knows that here is different from the sound of dogs and horses outside, even if he can endure the white eyes here and is willing to do that kind of thing, there is no way to show it, he can't get it a few times a year, and in a few years, no one will patronize it. ”

The woman answered the question, Xiao Cong naturally had a further step-by-step approach, he said:

"Say a word that I don't like to hear, sister, don't be too careful, like this kind of place where faith and harmony are supreme, how can you allow a place like a casino Qinglou to exist, this is not a sheep's head to sell dog meat, and you want to set up a torii when you are a bitch. ”

Regarding Xiao Cong's disrespectful remarks, the woman just smiled indifferently, swept away the charm and said seriously:

"Childe's words are wrong, and the appetite is also, not to mention rou desire, the existence of all ** in the world is reasonable, what are Qinglou and casinos, the greed and cruelty in this world, is Childe still less seen outside?"

Xiao Cong smiled wryly, and said in a slightly ridiculous tone:

"What my sister said is very true, but according to what my younger brother saw, the ** here is really incomplete. ”

The woman smiled coldly,

"Childe's words are wrong again, there are thousands of people in the world, but in the final analysis, there are only a few things that are brought out of the mother's womb, joy, anger, sorrow, love, hatred, love, fragrance, and taste, as for the others, they are just derivatives of this. ”

When Xiao Cong heard this, he couldn't help but think,

"Isn't this the seven emotions and six desires in the lotus pond of the Wild Desire Temple! Isn't there any relationship between this and the wild desire? Even the three that covered the sky back then

The big poison can have something to do with the wild desire hermitage, and it wouldn't be surprising if that was the case. ”

Obviously, this girl's morality is much higher than he thought.

"My sister's words are like a thought-provoking empowerment, but the younger brother still doesn't understand, it's the same people's heart, why is the world here so different from the outside world? The younger brother thinks that he is well-versed in history and has studied the past and the present, but like the prosperous Tianhe shown here, it is only a flash in the pan in the ancient books, is it possible, just rely on that mysterious piece of scripture?"

The woman smiled slightly, her face was slightly relieved,

"Childe is really right this time, the power of the scriptures is ancient and modern, the reason why we can live here so harmoniously is due to its influence, presumably Childe has been to the scriptures, for the power of the scriptures, I don't need to say more. ”

Xiao Cong smiled mischievously,

The power of this scripture is truly amazing, but I've only been there once. ”

"If Childe can stay here for a longer time, he will have to go to the lecture hall several times, at least twelve times, before he can be regarded as having heard it once. ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows lightly, his face was slightly surprised, this was really the first time he had heard someone tell a new thing.

Without waiting for the woman to answer, he asked:

"Twelve scriptures, twelve rings, is there any special meaning in this?"

"It's about twelve hours of the day. The woman smiled modestly.

This girl knows obviously more than the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and when it comes to serious topics, she puts on a different face, looking like this, it doesn't look like pretending, but a dusty woman, how can she be so accessible?

Xiao Cong grinned lightly and said sly:

"My sister knows a lot. ”

The woman smiled modestly and said:

"Let the son see the smile, but it is just a casual conversation with those elegant and erudite Wuling teenagers on the bedside, and the axe in front of the child, it is just a smile and generosity. ”

Xiao Cong laughed and said:

"Listening to my sister's eloquent words, I must also be a person who has studied books, how can I fall into such a difficult situation?"

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Cong regretted it, living in this American place without worrying about eating and drinking, how can he be degraded, but after the baptism of the scriptures, he can still live in this dusty place, which is even more incomprehensible.

"If Childe says so, it seems that the horizon is a little narrow, when it comes to this issue, Childe's eyes should not only focus on the slave family, but should be placed on the entire complete United States, everyone is born different, but together it is complete, it is also mutually influencing and even inseparable, but where there exists there is a reason for its existence, the so-called prejudice is just a variety of obsessions that exist in people's hearts, when the people in this whole can be tolerant and understanding, then the whole can be kept beautiful, but what is the so-called tolerance and understanding? It's just about looking at others and yourself. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Cong couldn't help but fall into deep thought,

"Face others and face yourself, prejudice is because of obsession ......"

This is a somewhat esoteric question.

The woman saw Xiao Cong fall into a sink

Thought, smiled and said:

"Childe is a person from outside, and it's not free to think about this problem, so let me solve Childe's doubts a little. ”

After a pause, she continued:

"What I said is to face others and face yourself, in the final analysis, it is still to face **, we all bring some innate things to this world, and then come together to form a whole, no matter what, all out of fate, because we are all out of fate, so from the deepest point, we are all the same poor people, what is the need for prejudice. ”

"Yes, without obsession, there will be no more ** mixing, and there will be no more all kinds of evils......" Xiao Cong involuntarily echoed.

The woman felt something, smiled sadly and sighed faintly:

"Perhaps, that's why the United States can't exist in the world. ”

These words exploded in his ears like a thunderbolt, and Xiao Cong looked at the celadon like water in front of him in a daze as if he had woken up from a dream.

"yes, she's dead. ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, Xiao Cong got up, bowed to the woman, and said:

"Today's narrative, I have a deep understanding, the younger brother is here, thank my sister, it's not too early, I hope my sister will rest, and the younger brother will leave. ”

The charm that seemed to bloom in an instant was re-embellished on her face, and she smiled coquettishly:

"I'll just say that Childe is not the one who came to do that, Childe still doesn't admit it, if Childe thinks about it one day, remember to come to me. ”

This prodigal remark fell on Xiao Cong's ears, and finally made him blush, he quickly bowed twice, and then turned around and fled as if he had flown like Hongxiang before.
