Chapter 125: Betting
At this time, the old man sitting next to Dongzhang was naturally the old naughty boy Zhou Botong, and Dongzhang had already guessed his identity, but he didn't break it on his face.
Just quietly watched this old child reach out and frequently grab the only pickles left on the table and eat happily, it was really strange, how lonely was he at such an old age and still liked to play pranks?
Regardless of whether he really doesn't have money in his pocket, or it's just a bad taste, it doesn't matter, the person he is looking for is sitting next to him now, only this Dongzhang is still very happy, and Dongzhang is also quite curious about this character described in the original book like a kindergarten child, is it really naΓ―ve or boring to pretend to be, Dongzhang is half-convinced.
Glancing at Zhou Botong, Dongzhang didn't look at him, but said to himself: "I heard that not long ago, someone met a flying sheep in the valley of more than 30 miles southeast of the west of the city. β
Hearing this, Zhou Botong, who was eating happily, had his eyes brightened, and before he finished swallowing the pickles in his mouth, he hurriedly turned his head and stared at Dongzhang with bright eyes, and asked excitedly, "Flying sheep??" β
Looking at the old child funny, Dongzhang nodded with a smile.
"Wow!! I haven't seen a flying sheep in all this time! Little brother, little brother! You take me, you take me, you take me! I'm going too, I'm going too! Let's go! Let's go now!! Good no good? Hearing what Dongzhang said, the old naughty boy couldn't sit still for a moment, wiped the oil stains on his body with both hands, and then pulled Dongzhang's arm and was about to walk out of the door.
Looking at this old child helplessly, Dongzhang recruited the shopkeeper to settle the old naughty's previous account with his own table and walked out of the inn with him, the old naughty boy didn't care about these yellow and white things, Dongzhang himself naturally didn't take it to heart, with the current martial arts attainments of the two of them lack money, it is impossible, as long as there are people, you can see the bully rampant on the streets everywhere, and it is enough to spend a few days robbing a few.
Coming to the door of the inn, Dongzhang looked up at the sky, at this time it was the appearance of the morning, it was still very early, so he paced slowly to the west of the city, but the old naughty boy next to him couldn't help it, looking at Dongzhang's slow appearance to the monkey year and horse moon to get there, in fact, he was more afraid that he would not see the flying sheep if he went late.
He kept pulling Dongzhang's sleeves and urged, "Oh, little brother, let's go faster, when will we be able to walk so slowly!" β
Slanted his eyes and glanced at the anxious old naughty boy who was scratching his ears and cheeks, Dongzhang chuckled and said, "What's the hurry, it can't run away." β
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Don't be verbose, go fast! The old urchin who couldn't listen to anything now turned a deaf ear to Dongzhang's words, and his mind was now full of the flying sheep, and he couldn't accommodate anything else, so he pulled Dongzhang's sleeve and walked quickly to the west of the city.
Got it, Dongzhang had to let him trot all the way out of the west gate of the city, and the pedestrians on the road outside the city gate suddenly plummeted, and there were no other pedestrians except for a few people who entered the city to catch the market.
Coming here, Dongzhang looked sideways at the old urchin who was scratching his ears and cheeks beside him, and said, "I originally wanted to get out of the door, so I rushed all the way away, and with my young and strong body, I will arrive in a while, but you"
Looking the old urchin up and down, Dongzhang questioned, "Can you, an old man, keep up with my speed?" β
The words were full of thick doubts, and as soon as these words came out, the old naughty boy stopped doing it, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, and his voice was several octaves higher, and he exclaimed, "Oops! How dare you look down on the old man!! Come on, let's compete! See who gets there first! β
After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and looked eager to try.
"Oh~"
Dongzhang sighed lightly, and then said with some disdain, "Don't play tricks if you lose, say that I am bullying you with my youth." β
"Wow yes yes!! The angry old man is also! I think when the old man was crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, your little doll was not born yet! Come on, come on! The old urchin's eyes widened, and he looked very angry.
Looking at this old child with a strong desire to win and lose, Dongzhang followed and said, "It's inevitable that the competition will be a little monotonous, if you want to play, play bigger, we will each make a bet, do you dare?" β
"Hahaha! Excellent, wonderful! That's what the old man thinks, but he's afraid that others will say that I'm bullying children, since you brought it up, then do it, see if you will cry and find your mother, hahahaha! The more the old urchin thought about it, the more proud he became, and he laughed out loud with his imagination.
"Okay, then whoever loses will agree to a condition or request from the other party, even if I make you strip naked and run on the street, you have to do it, don't you dare to do it?" Dongzhang naturally knew that this old kid could really do something naked, and he didn't do it in the Valley of Despair in the original book, but he also wanted to try to make the stakes bigger and arouse his desire to win.
"Good, good!! That's it, oops! How could I not have thought of it! Hahahaha, if you lose, I'll tell you to strip naked and run down the street, hahahahaha, it's fun!! The old naughty boy Zhou Botong even clapped his hands happily when he heard this, and his mind was full of the scene of Dongzhang's bare body running on the street.

Looking at his posture of being a victor, Dongzhang was full of black lines, and wondered if he was playing too much, if
Thinking of that scene, the more I thought about it, I felt a chill in my heart, goosebumps all over my body, and I shook my head violently, no, I won't lose, if it's just if I really lose, then I will play tricks, well, I must cheat, I can promise anything else, but this one, the knife holder and neck will not take off!
"Okay, then it's decided, maybe someone will cry later." Dongzhang is not allowed at all.
Then the two walked side by side into the remote forest path, on the way Dongzhang fast Zhou Botong followed fast, Dongzhang slow Zhou Botong followed slowly, the competitive spirit can be said to be full, this has not started yet, so to prevent Dongzhang, for fear that people will take one more step than you, and it is really a child's heart.
The two came to the inaccessible forest, and as Dongzhang walked faster and faster, the old naughty boy also secretly accelerated his speed, and his eyes were staring at Dongzhang tightly with excitement, why didn't he run first? That's because Dongzhang hasn't shouted to start yet.
When he couldn't see pedestrians at all, the corners of Dongzhang's mouth suddenly raised a smile, his knees bent, and his toes kicked on the ground, and the person quickly crossed the forest in an instant.
