Chapter 275: Retreat is Advance

It wasn't until Gu Shun walked away that Boss Xing came back to his senses and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he finally kept the relationship between Yuelai Teahouse and the young shopkeeper, but he was still not at ease, and ordered his subordinates beside him: "You send two subordinates to follow them quietly, don't follow them too closely, and secretly protect their safety until they are safely sent back to the mansion and back." ”

"My subordinates will do it."

……

Coming out of the Yuelai Teahouse, Fu Darttou took Gu Shun from Zhongjie to an alley, and he didn't know if he was drunk and didn't know the way, or if he deliberately walked into these narrow alleys.

Gu Shun rarely entered these narrow and cramped alleys before, but this is the most fireworks in Jiangnan City, and it is also the closest place to the world.

In the bluestone-paved alleys, the stones have become extremely smooth due to years of friction, and even the marks of ruts can be seen on the stones.

The old blue-tiled houses on both sides of the alley are covered with moss on the walls made of stones, and among the mottled moss, you can also see children's paintings full of innocence drawn with burning sticks.

Occasionally, in front of the door, an old man sat on the porch, fanning his fan, looking at the familiar scenery that he had seen for decades, and was stunned and meditative.

Gu Shun and Fu Darttou walked quickly through the alley with umbrellas, and the water dripping from the eaves on both sides fell on their umbrellas, making a crackling sound.

This is the real Jiangnan, which has the charm of the water town of small bridges and flowing waters, and the unique atmosphere of the general public.

Gu Shun followed Fu Darttou through one alley after another, and soon walked through the lower streets of Jiangnan City.

According to the layout of Jiangnan City, Middle Street is the most prosperous street along the central axis of the entire Jiangnan City, communicating the north and south gates, and the Lower Street is located to the east of Middle Street, which is also a prosperous street, where there are many markets and market street shops, and small stalls and vendors are also sold here. And the counterpart to the lower street is the upper street.

Shangjie is the location of many families and the official mansion of Jiangnan City, so it is called Shangjie, which can be regarded as a suitable situation.

Although the lower street is not as prosperous as the middle street, the people and street vendors are obviously denser.

Fu Dart Tou walked in front in a daze, Gu Shun followed closely behind, and after coming out of the alley, he found that they were now getting farther and farther away from the Gu family.

Soon after, Fu Dart stopped in front of a shop on the street with a casino sign written on it.

Fu Dart burped and was about to step inside.

He suddenly subconsciously glanced behind him, slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory, I was drunk just now, and I came here following my memory, let's go back and continue training." ”

It turned out that whenever Fu Darttou finished drinking, he would come to the casino to play a few games of pai gow with the strength of the wine, and maybe he could win a few handfuls by drinking.

The deep spring brewing degree is very high, very high, and the stamina continues to affect him until now, after coming out of the Yuelai Teahouse, Fu Darttou took Gu Shun and walked in the direction of Gu Mansion, but it didn't go far away.

Almost relying on muscle memory, Fu Dart walked towards the casino.

Gu Shun didn't stop him, instead of wasting half an afternoon practicing the qigong that had already been learned, it was better to investigate more in Jiangnan City and add a little new talent to his fate.

Gu Shun glanced up at the signboard of this gambling house and found that it was one of the casinos opened by the manager of Yuantong Zhuang in partnership with others.

There are so many coincidences in this world.

"Master, it's all here, why don't you just go in and play two games, it just so happens that I've never been in it since I was a child."

"No, you're too young to be in this kind of place. I was really drunk just now, and I actually brought you here in a daze, let's go back to the house now and continue training, the training of martial arts can't be wasted. ”

Gu Shun shook his head and said reluctantly: "Master, I'll go in and have a look, didn't Master promise me this morning, as long as I learn qigong, take me to the casino to have a look, anyway, it's not too much of a loss if you don't go in and play two games." ”

"Don't think that your master and I are so foolish, I didn't agree to allow you to enter this kind of place in the morning. And you just learned qigong, which is still far from your master and me, and you are proud and complacent when you have achieved a little success, and it's not good to practice martial arts too impetuously. ”

"I can help Master win back all the money I lost, what do you think, doesn't Master still owe 20,000 yuan to the casino, let me come."

"You're still too young to understand how deep the water is here, if you want to win money from the casino, can you pick it up when you have money, people don't open charity, you can win money if you want to."

"How do you know if you don't try, I don't think it should be difficult to win money from the casino, Master, you just let me try it."

He said this quite modestly, Gu Shun, who has mind reading skills in hand, going to the casino to play cards is equivalent to letting the other party directly understand the cards, seventeen cards in hand, how can the other party win him.

"That's a casino, you're still a child, if you let Shopkeeper Gu and Mrs. Gu know that you entered the casino, they won't blame you fiercely."

"My mother just said that she couldn't enter the Qinglou, and she didn't say that she wouldn't be allowed to enter the casino," Gu Shunyi intervened, and said with retreat: "In that case, let's go back, but after walking for so long, I want to go back by carriage." ”

Renting a horse-drawn carriage in Jiangnan City is not cheap, and there are horse shops nearby, which are often used for short-term rentals.

And the reason why Gu Shun suddenly proposed to take a carriage was that he expected that Fu Dart would not have so much money to rent a carriage, so that he could enter the casino in the name of making money.

Sure enough, Gu Shun's words made Fu Darttou full of embarrassment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't move around here, I'll borrow some money, and we'll rent a carriage to go back later." ”

"Master, just take me in and have a look, I'll stay outside by myself, what if I'm kidnapped by the bad guys."

Fu Dart knew that with Gu Shun's skills now, there was still that person who dared to kidnap him, and he was clearly trying to enter the casino and forcibly find a reason.

But he couldn't resist Gu Shun, so he had to sigh and say: "I'll take you in later, you can't leave my side, let's borrow money and leave immediately, and don't say that you are a member of the Gu family, so as not to be left behind." ”

As soon as I entered the casino, the regular customers at the door recognized Fu Dart, and came up to greet him: "Fu Darthead has not been seen for a long time, and I want to play a few games today, I am happy to accompany him." ”

"Why did Fu Darthead bring a child, this child can't be the illegitimate child of Fu Darthead with a mother-in-law outside."

"This kid looks pretty smart, so why don't you stay in the casino and follow me as an apprentice."

In the face of these rough people's slander of Gu Shun, Fu Dart squeezed his fist fiercely, and was about to punch that person away, Gu Shun grabbed his hand and winked at him.

Only then did Fu Dart suppress the anger in his heart.

Some of these people are the trustees of the casino, and some are some old gamblers, looking at Fu Darthead is a piece of fat, and they want to get some oil and water from Fu Darthead when they have nothing to do.

Fu Dart didn't pay attention to them, went straight to the counter, and said to the account room in charge: "Lend me some money, record it in my account, I have something to use." ”

Casinos have always been a way to make money inside, so there is no reason to borrow money casually.

The bookkeeper didn't dare to call the shots, so he found the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of this casino is surnamed Diao, and he has been in this business for many years, in addition to this casino, there are several small gambling houses in Jiangnan City that are opened by him.
