Chapter 156: Not enough compensation
Helan Yue and the old Taoist priest were followed by two old men, and when they came to the gate of Gaobo's courtyard, they saw that the courtyard gate was closed, and Dashan Xiaoshan was waiting at the gate of the courtyard with a helpless face.
The venomous old man immediately laughed, "Little girl, did you dream that Gao Bozhi agreed to take your brother as an apprentice when you were sleepwalking in your sleep last night!" ”
The toothless old man on the side also laughed and said: "Did you hear me wrong, little girl, that guy has a very strange temper, and he doesn't like to deal with people the most, and he definitely won't accept apprentices." ”
When the old Taoist priest saw that his apprentice was being made fun of, he immediately turned on the short-term protection mode.
He said to the two old men with a cold face: "Are you too bored to be idle, if you have this time, you might as well take care of your disciples and grandchildren, what cool words are said here, give you face!" ”
The poisonous old man shrunk his neck and muttered in a low voice, "I'm not wrong about this!" That Gao Bozhi is notoriously withdrawn, and he can't say three words to anyone, you say that he leads people to destroy the whole clan of whom, I believe it, you say that he wants to accept apprentices, and I don't believe it. ”
Helan Yue calmly wrote down what they said on the side, not in a hurry at all.
A very capable person like Gao Bozhi, once his curiosity is mentioned, it is difficult for him to give up.
After a while, a few more people came to the gate of the courtyard, all ready to see the show.
Chu Xiaohe, Su Qinyan and Wen Chongming also came over.
There were more and more people talking in the crowd.
"I don't think this Gao Bozhi will show up today."
"If that cold-blooded guy really takes that kid as an apprentice, I'll write my name upside down."
"I bet on the moon falling in a jar for ten years, and I bet that Gao Bozhi's goods must have deceived a few children to play."
Wen Chongming heard a gambling word, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He flew back to the courtyard, and soon came again with a brush and bamboo slips in his hand.
He first came to the old man who said that he wanted to bet on a ten-year moon-falling liquor, and said in a low voice: "Senior, bet that Gao Bozhi will not accept that child as an apprentice, win one and lose three, on the contrary, if the apprentice is successful, one loses ten, how many bets are the seniors ready to place." ”
As soon as the old man heard this, he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, "I bet a hundred taels, and Gao Bozhi will definitely not accept apprentices." ”
"Okay, I'll make a note of it for you."
After Wen Chongming wrote on the bamboo slip, he accepted the old man's silver ticket.
Next, he asked them one by one.
Almost everyone who came made a bet, and they all placed the same bet, and they would not accept apprentices when they bought Gao Bozhi, but the amount of bets was different.
The old men in this temple are really rich, some are a hundred taels, and the most are hundreds of taels.
Wen Chongming held a thick stack of silver tickets, smiling toothless.
After counting the silver tickets, he put them in the placket of his shirt and tapped them twice.
With his understanding of Helan Yue, she would never do anything she was not sure of, let alone let her two younger brothers become the laughing stock of others.
Thinking that she went out with her two brothers last night, Gao Bo's apprenticeship must have not run away.
As for why Gao Bozhi has neither opened the door nor shown up until now, he guessed that he might want to put on a show.
Doesn't that give him the opportunity to pick up the money.
Just as he was thinking about getting so much silver for nothing, a fresh and pleasant voice immediately made him fall from the clouds.
"I'll bet on a thousand taels, and the bet on Gao Bo's apprenticeship will be successful."
"I'll also pay a thousand taels, the same as Miss He."
"And me, too."
Wen Chongming was suddenly a little dumbfounded, looking at Helan Yue, Chu Xiaohe and Su Qinyan in front of him, his hands began to tremble with stacks of silver tickets in their hands.
"Senior sister, brother, why don't we do this together, okay?"
The three of them said in unison, "No." ”
As he spoke, the three of them stuffed the silver ticket in their hands into his arms.
Wen Chongming showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "We are all a family, so we see a lot of outsiders." ”
He Lanyue held back a smile in her heart and said, "Senior brother, is our silver different from others, will it be hot?" ”
"It's hot." Wen Chongming nodded pitifully.
The old Taoist priest has been paying attention to his little apprentice, and now seeing her betting so confidently, he must have not run away if he wanted to come to this Gao Bozhi to accept her brother as an apprentice.
He walked over with a steady step, looked at Wen Chongming with a smile and said, "The old man will bet on Gao Bozhi to accept apprentices, as for how much to bet, um...... Then bet 50,000 taels. ”
Wen Chongming heard this, the whole person was not good, his eyes rolled, and he fell.
When the old Taoist priest saw this, he immediately stopped doing it.
The kid's condition confirmed his guess even more.
He turned his head and called the toothless old man to wake him up.
The toothless old man came over, took out a silver needle from his bosom, and stabbed it at Wen Zhongming's man.
Wen Chongming's heart was 10,000 grass and mud horses running by.
Thinking that he can't wake up no matter what, otherwise, he will go bankrupt, and it will not be enough to pay compensation.
When Helan Yue and the others saw this, they could only mourn for him in their hearts.
At this critical moment, I heard the door of the courtyard slam open.
With this sound, the old man's hand stopped.
Just now he also placed three hundred taels of silver in this kid's hand, and he also wanted to know the result very much at this time.
He took the silver needle, got up and walked to the gate of Gao Bozhi's courtyard.
The old Taoist priest was so anxious that he almost lost his temper, and finally gritted his teeth angrily and kicked Wen Chongming who was lying on the ground.
He also muttered: "Count you kid lucky." ”
He snorted angrily and walked towards the door.
Gao Bozhi stretched his waist, saw so many people standing at the gate of his courtyard, and asked angrily, "What are you doing here?" ”
Someone in the crowd immediately couldn't wait to ask, "Old Gao, I heard that you want to accept apprentices?" ”
"What the hell is going on with you?" After Gao Bozhi finished speaking, he quickly found Xiaoshan's figure in the crowd.
The face that was fierce just now instantly became gentle.
Under the stunned looks of everyone, he whispered again: "Come in with me, I just prepared something." ”
Gao Bozhi stood at the gate of the courtyard, and after the big mountains and mountains, Helan Yue and the old Taoist priest entered the courtyard, he saw some people who wanted to follow up and see the excitement, and immediately changed his face.
"Where it's cool, where to stay."
After speaking, he entered the courtyard and slammed the courtyard door shut.
At this moment, they could be regarded as understanding, and there was nothing to ask, and they began to feel heartache about the silver they had just bet.
How heroic he was just now, how much regret he felt now.
Wen Chongming, who was lying on the ground, no longer pretended to be dead, jumped up, and quickly ran away.
Chu Xiaohe and Su Qinyan followed closely behind, and then chased after them.
Do? Of course, it was a share of money.
