Let's say that everyone was eating, and there was a noise in the village.

The old man stopped the wine bowl, listened for a while, shook his head, and said:

"Here we go again, and I don't know whose girl has suffered again!"

Long Zixi was puzzled:

"What's going on?"

The old man shook his head and said:

"This is even more incredible!

"Every few years, in the name of selecting maids for the royal family, the official family collects beautiful women everywhere, but many take this opportunity to rob men and women.

"Although we have a small population here, most of our daughters' families are dignified and beautiful, so they are naturally the focus of the collection.

"If you are not selected into the palace, it will be fine, but the upper and lower state capitals will ask for it layer by layer, and nine times out of ten they will become their slaves.

"What's more, for those who are slightly inferior, they are first lewd and dirty, and finally sold into Lichun Courtyard. Alas.

"However, listening to the scene, today it seems that the officers and soldiers have found a woman from the back mountain village, and they want to eat and drink here to rest."

Long Zixi became angry:

"I've heard of the matter of recruiting beautiful women. But isn't this a robber? ”

The old man said:

"Isn't that exactly the robbery?

"Now that the normal selection is recruiting, how can anyone take the initiative to send their daughter there?

"When the official family comes during the day, many of them hide their daughters.

So, the official family simply came to search at night.

"The way of the world, alas."

When Long Zixi heard this, he became even more angry, and secretly had the idea of fighting injustice in his heart.

Next, Long Zixi had something in his heart and felt that this meal was tasteless, so he ate it hastily.

I made up my mind and asked the old man:

"Is there a lively place here?"

The old man said:

"There is a tavern in the west, and there are many people who eat and gamble there, which can be regarded as lively."

Long Zixi said to Yin Jifu and others:

"The little nephew wants to go for a casual walk and come back in a while."

Qin Xiongjie smiled:

"Do you want to gamble? I didn't expect Shaoxia to be so good. ”

Long Zixi replied:

"It's just boring these days, just looking for some fun."

Yin Jifu admonished:

"It's just a joke for the young man, don't provoke right and wrong."

Longzi West Road:

"Seniors rest assured. What's wrong with this place? ”

As he spoke, he took out some shellfish coins from his baggage and said:

"You're out of company, come when you go down."

Out of the courtyard gate, Long Zixi stopped to listen carefully, and found that there were indeed many voices in the west, so he ran over.

It'll be there in a moment.

I saw that there were more than a dozen horses tied to the outside of the tavern, the candlelight in the house was flickering, the figures were shaking, and there were shouts, laughter and scolding from time to time.

Long Zixi gently pushed the door and entered.

At a glance, I saw two twelve or thirteen-year-old daughters tied to the northeast corner of the house, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, crying to themselves.

One of the girls saw Long Zixi coming in, and cried out in a lost voice:

"Brother!"

Longzi West Yileng.

saw that the girl looked at Long Zixi carefully, then shook her head again, and continued to wipe her tears.

Longzi Xixin said:

It seems that the girl recognized the wrong person, and maybe her brother is similar to me.

Leave it alone.

Looking at the room again, there were about 40 people, more than half of them were wearing official uniforms, with knives and guns around them, some were eating and drinking, some were boxing, and some were talking loudly.

More than a dozen people were in a heap in the northwest corner of the house, shouting and screaming.

Thinking that this place is often like this, Long Zixi entered the house, but no one paid special attention to him.

Long Zixi asked for a big bowl of wine and drank a few sips in front of the counter, but heard a soldier scolding the two girls:

"Cry what cry! It makes the uncle drink and not quiet.

"Choosing you to enter the palace, it is to enjoy endless glory and wealth!

"If Lao Tzu is a girl, he will take the initiative to send it to the door!"

Another way:

"The second master is going, cut off the words first, and naturally he will go."

And they laughed.

Long Zixi sneered and squinted at those who were gambling.

I saw that just after the gamble, a big man with an official hat on his head obviously won the money, and laughed loudly:

"Grandma, a bear! Today, I only found these two little girls in Beishan, I thought that Lao Tzu's luck was not smooth, but I didn't expect that my luck was booming! Come again and again! ”

The man who made the village looked like a rich man's son, surrounded by soldiers and idlers.

I only heard the dealer laugh and say:

"Lord Lu, don't come, I'm completely convinced of you today, the villain only has a few dollars, leave it to the brothers to make wine money."

"Lord Lu" glared:

"Hmph, who doesn't know that you are a famous rich man! What's the money? If you don't have it around, send someone to take it, and you can't have a good time if you don't accompany Lao Tzu! ”

The dealer didn't dare to disagree, but said:

"I think my lord is destined to hand over wealth and luck today, why don't you come to be a banker?"

The "Lord Lu" laughed and said:

"Okay, I'll be the banker, I'll be the banker!"

Then he sat down at the top, and everyone gathered around to place bets.

"Lord Lu" won a few more in a row, and he couldn't help but feel good.

Long Zixi had never gambled, and he didn't know how to gamble.

But after a while, it became clear.

It turned out to be very simple, three dice, roll the dots to compare the size, big win and small loss.

After a few more handfuls, most of the people lost more and won less, and a few people have already lost all their money and retreated.

The rich kid didn't want to gamble anymore, but because of the arrogance of "Lord Lu", he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

Seeing that there were fewer gamblers and smaller bets, "Lord Lu" couldn't help but be furious, and scolded uncleanly.

Long Zixi looked at the heat.

He put down the wine bowl, went to the table, and pretended to be very curious.

"What's this way to play? It's so much fun! Xiao Ke ...... Xiao Ke can also play with it, can you? ”

"Lord Lu" saw that he was a teenager, and at first glance he had no experience in gambling, and he was annoyed that everyone was betting too little, so he was overjoyed at the moment and said:

"If you're not afraid of losing, just come!"

Long Zi pretended not to understand, and bet seven or eight shell coins at once, more than everyone else.

The "Lord Lu" was secretly happy, and as soon as he made a move, he threw a total of six or five hundred and fifty four points, and laughed:

"It seems that today is really smooth, you guys!"

One by one, the bettors threw down, but none of them exceeded fifteen points, and they could not help but be extremely depressed, but their mouths were full of compliments.

It was Long Zixi's turn, and he only threw thirty, thirty, or forty points.

This time, it was "Lord Lu" who killed him.

After a few more bets, Long Zixi still didn't win.

Longzi pretended to be very unwilling, and said ruthlessly:

"Master Lu, you can see that these people are all stingy, and it doesn't mean anything to win them, why don't you just bet a little bigger on the two of us, how about it?"

"Lord Lu" said in his heart:

"You little devil is a chick, it's time for Lao Tzu to make a fortune!" Sidewalk:

"Okay, good, Lao Tzu likes to gamble like this!"

Long Zixi bet all twenty or thirty shell coins.

When everyone saw the overall situation, they all gathered around to take a look.

Lord Na Lu didn't speak, and when he threw a six, four, sixty-six point, he looked at Long Zixi very proudly:

"Kid, it's your turn!"

Long Zixi threw again, and everyone held their breath and stared at the bowl containing the dice, thinking that he must have a stunt, but who knew that this time it was even worse, only throwing a three, two, two, seven points.

The crowd couldn't help but sigh.

Lord Lu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and said, "Bring the wine", and some soldiers had already handed the wine to him.

Master Nalu took a few sips, wiped his mouth and said:

"Little ghost, are you still playing?"

Long Zixi looked angry and said:

"If you don't believe in luck, you will be bad! Play! ”

But he pretended that the money had been gambled, rummaged all over his body, and suddenly took out an ivory bracelet from his bosom.

When everyone saw the bracelet, their eyes lit up.

I saw that the bracelet was pure white in color, revealing a black light, and it looked quite heavy, and there was also a large ruby embedded on the surface, which was worth five or six thousand shell coins, to say the least.

Lord Na Lu saw it in his eyes and was overjoyed: This is a big oil and water. Sidewalk:

"What are you going to bet on?"

Longzi West Road:

"If you win, you will naturally take this bracelet away. If you win......"

He looked around at the crowd and said:

"According to Xiao Ke, all the money present today can't be worth this ivory bracelet, but Xiao Ke wants another thing."

Nalu Daren:

"What's that?"

Long Zixi smiled and raised his hand to point to the northeast corner.

The crowd was first taken aback, and then burst into laughter.

50

Everyone laughed, and all the attention in the tavern turned to this side.

Even the two girls stopped crying and looked at this side in surprise.

Seeing Long Zixi pointing at the two female babies, Lord Lu stared at Long Zixi for a while, and said with a smile:

"You kid, you're!"

One of the soldiers shouted obscenely:

"Little ghost, if you want to do a good job, I'm afraid you're still a little tender?"

Longzi put on a cheeky look in his suit and said with a grin:

"Xiao Ke can see that these two girls are okay.

"Hehe, although I'm younger, but go back and raise a while, when I'm older, I can just be a wife and a concubine."

Someone took a serious look at this young man and found that Yuan was also very energetic, and said in his heart that these two girls followed this young man, and they were not a loss.

Master Lu sneered:

"If you lose, don't regret it!"

Long Zixi took a tone and said with a smile:

"What repentance?

"The eldest husband is full of his word, but the little one is afraid that the adult will lose.

"You all have to be a witness!

"How's that, dare you bet?"

When everyone saw that the young man was not ashamed to speak and pretend, they all found it interesting, and more people gathered around.

Someone shouted:

"What kind of person is Lord Lu, how can he play tricks on you?"

At this time, Lord Nalu had no way to retreat, and shouted:

"Okay, bet! Change the big dice! ”

Someone who had already run the hall took a big dice.

The person in the know couldn't help but sweat for the young man.

It turns out that Lord Nalu often gambles here, and usually gambles with a group of acquaintances or idlers, and wins or loses little.

If an outsider comes, or gambles hard, Lord Lu will ask for a big dice.

But the big dice were manipulative, and only the runner and his men knew about it.

Master Lu rolls the dice that have done tricks and feet, and he is skillful, and the odds are in hand.

Although Long Zixi has not gambled on Bo, he has just rolled a few times, and with his profound skills, he already has a grasp of controlling the dice.

Suddenly, I heard Master Lu say that he had no experience in changing the big dice, so he really didn't think about anything else, but said:

"Indeed, the dice are bigger and the dice are bigger, and although the people are young and have small hands, they also like the big dice."

The one who ran the hall only laughed secretly in his heart:

You little loser, didn't you steal the bracelet at home?

Look at you now that you are not ashamed to speak, I am afraid that you will not be able to cry for a while!

Although he sympathized with Long Zixi, he didn't dare to speak out.

At that moment, Lord Lu threw first.

But when he jumped on the chair, put the dice in the palms of his hands, shook them repeatedly, and shouted:

"Boom!"

Thrown from the air, the three dice spun around in the bowl.

Less leaning, two stopped, both were "six", but the other one still kept turning.

The so-called "explosion" is the three "sixes".

If Lord Lu throws an explosion, he will win, and Long Zixi doesn't need to throw it again.

Lord Lu and a group of soldiers stared at the spinning dice and shouted:

"Six! Six! ”

Seeing that one is about to stop, it is clearly also a "six".

Long Zixi was in a hurry, pointed to the dice with his hand, and shouted:

"One!"

The dice flipped over and over, and finally stopped but it was a "five".

Lord Lu was slightly disappointed, but he was also very satisfied:

"Boy, it's your turn. If you can't throw it, bring the ivory bracelet! ”

But I was puzzled in my heart: what did I usually want, but why is it a little worse now?

How did he know that it was Long Zixi's slight finger, but with a stream of air between his fingers, he pushed the dice to five points.

Long Zixi took the dice, shook it, and knew that the dice had done tricks.

Xindao: Fortunately, I have deep internal strength and feel very good in my hands, otherwise you would have won.

At that moment, he also held the dice with both hands, shook it a few times, and suddenly threw it into the bowl.

But seeing that the three dice turned more than a dozen times, and finally stopped steadily, what were not the three "sixes"?

Everyone couldn't help but cheer in unison.

Lord Lu's face was red for a while, white for a while, obviously he never expected Long Zixi to really throw an explosion.

Long Zixi put the bracelet in his arms and said:

"Promise, thank you!"

So he walked towards the two girls.

Master Lu hurriedly jumped down from his chair and shouted:

"Stop!"

Long Zixi looked back and smiled:

"Are you going to regret it?"

Seeing that it was his own fault, Lord Lu's tone was a lot more polite:

"It's true that you won. But you can't take these two girls away, they are going to be dedicated to the palace! ”

Longzi West Road:

"Then I don't care. If you are willing to lose the gamble, you are all witnesses. ”

Master Lu picked up a pile of shell coins on the table, stuffed them into Long Zixi's arms, and said:

"You can take all the money here, but you can't take the girl!"

Someone advised Longzi to go west:

"Forget it, the money here is also a thousand and eight hundred, so it depends on the adults."

Long Zixi put the money back on the table and said:

"If Xiao Ke loses, can you say the same?"

But he didn't appreciate it at all, and walked straight to the two girls.

Everyone felt that they had seen a ghost, and the first time they met a muddy boy, they didn't even give face to Master Lu, and they all sweated for Long Zixi.

Master Lu turned his face:

"I think this kid is an anti-minister thief party, brothers, take it down for me!"

Those soldiers had already snatched guns and knives in their hands, and they surrounded Long Zixi in the heart of the wall.

Long Zixi looked very frightened and shouted:

"Oh, it's terrible, I'm going to die!"

Lord Nalu sank his face and waved his hand, and several soldiers rushed over.

Long Zi pretended to know no martial arts at all, dodging left and right, how could those soldiers get close to him?

On the contrary, he shook people on their backs, and it was a mess.

The shopkeeper saw the tables and chairs overturned, the cups and plates were damaged, and he just complained bitterly, but how could he dare to speak out?

Nalu was furious and rushed forward with a sword.

Long Zixi had already seen that this Lord Lu had some kung fu, and sneered in his heart, and when he saw him coming, he rushed onto the table.

That Lord Lu slashed down with a big knife, Long Zi Xifei jumped up, stepped on Lord Lu's head with his left foot, and lightly followed the heel of his right foot at the back of his neck.

Long Zixi fell to another table again.

In the middle of the noise, I suddenly heard someone sneer:

"Hmph, if you lose, you lose, what's it worth? Lord Lu is really stingy! ”
