Volume 1 Sand Garden Rivalry Chapter 19 Gambling on the Street
Of course, the dishes are served one plate at a time, but today, the shopkeeper opened his eyes.
As soon as the first plate was served, I went to the kitchen and brought the second plate, only to see that the plate on Qin Chong's table was already empty. Xiao Er glanced at the two of them, and couldn't help but scold, he was really hungry to death. The portion of their dishes is not small, and after eating it so quickly, he can imagine the appearance of the two of them gobbling up.
In the third set, Xiao Er deliberately picked up his pace. I don't believe it, you can eat faster than me? As a result, when I arrived at the dinner table, I saw that the plate was empty again, which was really cleaner than a dog licking. This time, Xiao Er didn't accept it, but he really ate faster than the previous one. Looking at Qin Chong's gaze, there was a complaint.
"Another lamb." Qin Chong had meat in his mouth and shouted vaguely.
"Also, I want a chicken." Sansa'er shouted.
Two and a half sizes, just when you can eat it. What's more, the two of them have not touched oil and water for a long time, and their stomachs are already full of gluttonous insects. I have the opportunity today, but I can't feast on it. After speaking, the two began to bury their heads in eating again, the soup was dripping, and the food was full of hand oil, as if they hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes.
Plates of dishes were served, and they were snatched up and eaten by the two in a blink of an eye.
The restaurant was quiet, and the guests next to them had already stopped their chopsticks and turned their heads to look at the two people, all with smiles in their eyes, and they actually watched with relish. Qin Chong and the two of them have become the scenery of the restaurant.
With a gust of wind and clouds, Qin Chong finally stopped his chopsticks. Leaning on the back of the chair, I patted my stomach comfortably, took a sip of the wine glass, and let out a long breath, this time I was really full.
"Your food is good, but the wine is almost there." Qin emphatically commented.
"And." Xiao Er raised his head in disdain, and turned his eyes to look away. There are rules for running the hall, and no matter what the guests say unpleasantly, they are not allowed to reply. Listen with a smile and don't make excuses, this is the most basic quality of a junior two. However, I can't stop Xiao Er from disdaining it in his heart, the two old hats, have you ever seen a good wine?
As soon as the bill was settled, Sansa'er began to have a pain in his flesh, and he was reluctant to take out the silver. pestered the shopkeeper, but let the family send another pot of wine, only to be satisfied. Qin Chong went out early and stood outside the door waiting. Sansheng'er, a little miser, Qin Chong couldn't stand it and was ashamed to be with him.
It was already dark, and the shops on the roadside were lit up and starry.
"The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people." For no reason, Qin Chong remembered a sentence and recited it casually. I didn't know that just now, there was a sneer behind me.
"Little and big li, bitter sand and ugly water, how can it be compared to the prosperity of Qiantang." A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe slowly came out of the restaurant, his hands behind his back. Glancing at Qin Chong, he said with disdain.
Qin Chong sighed secretly, and said in his heart, Liu Yong is really everyone, and his lyrics are spread all over the world, and everyone knows it. I recited two sentences casually, and someone jumped out to accuse. was suddenly disappointed, and Qin Chong didn't want to mention how greasy he was. endured it and didn't have a seizure, only when a toad crawled on the upper of the shoe.
As soon as he turned around, he heard another voice behind him, "A vulgar martial artist, vassal and elegant, I don't know what to say." ”
At this moment, Qin Chong turned around, his face was also angry, and he took a step forward suddenly, looking directly at the scribe who was speaking. Qin Chong was tall, burly and powerful, standing face to face, half a head taller than a scribe. The scribe was taken aback, and took a step back. Facing Qin Chong, he felt a heavy oppression.
Qin Chong has never liked cheongsam, and feels that walking is in the way. Therefore, on weekdays, except for going to the academy to study, they are all short shirts and arrow sleeves, which looks heroic and capable. But in the eyes of others, this is how Takeo dresses. Qin Chong never imagined that one day, he would be ridiculed because of his clothes.
"Here, there is a small poem, you can comment on it." Qin Chong seemed to be smiling, and without waiting for the scribe to respond, he began to chant by himself. "Thousands of hammers and a needle, upside down. The eyes are on the buttocks, and they only recognize the clothes but not the people. He ignored the scribe and walked away laughing.
The middle-aged scholar's face turned red, his whole body was trembling, and he pointed to Qin Chong's back, but he couldn't say a word. The people who walked with him all looked strange, and they didn't dare to laugh if they wanted to laugh, they either looked up at the sky, or lowered their heads to tidy up their clothes. Leaving a middle-aged scribe alone, messy in the night.
scolded people with a poem, Qin Chong was in a good mood, laughed with Sanfeng'er all the way, and went to the city gate. Kankan approached the city gate when he suddenly heard a shouting and scolding. Looking up, there were a bunch of people around the city gate, pointing and pointing, as if there was something rare, and they all stretched their necks and squeezed forward to watch.
At this time, Qin Zhong heard someone scolding. "Don't be embarrassed, you will be in a hurry, clean up the street for you, and let everyone see your fine skin and tender meat." The crowd retreated in confusion, and a group of people came out of it, all dressed in arrow sleeves, with bows and arrows behind their backs, and they were arrogant, but they were clearly not military soldiers.
A young woman with a messy hairpin skirt and her hands tied was dragged over by a big man. The woman's hair was scattered and covered her entire face, and her emaciated shoulders trembled. The woman's body pulled back, and she walked very reluctantly, one step at a time, sobbing and choking, but she didn't say a word.
"What a sin." A white-haired old man shook his head and sighed, his face unbearable.
"Her little brother-in-law, it's really not a thing." Someone seemed to know and scolded in a low voice.
"What's going on?" Qin Zhong was quite curious, and asked closer.
The man in the know shrank his head and dodged into the crowd. He was well aware of the truth that trouble came from his mouth, and even if he sympathized with the woman, he didn't want to get into trouble because of it. As soon as he saw Qin Chong's face, he immediately slipped away. However, the white-haired old man glanced at Qin Chong and said in a low voice, "That girl was sold by her brother-in-law." ”
"Huh? Why? Qin Chong was very surprised, and heard for the first time that the little uncle sold his sister-in-law.
"Ugh." The old man sighed and told what had happened.
It turned out that the woman was called A'e, and her family lived in Xiaodongzhuang, five miles outside the city, and she grinded tofu every day and carried it into the city to sell. Therefore, the neighbors on the edge of the eastern city all know A'e. A'e's husband Gao Zhan went to the capital three years ago to participate in the Spring Festival, and has not come back yet, not even a single message, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead.
A'e's in-laws and a younger son, HD, are a bad gambler. On this day, he owed another lot of gambling debts and couldn't pay it off, and he was in a hurry to be chased and killed, so he actually paid A'e to the creditor. But this creditor is also a bad master, so he really broke into Gao's house and kidnapped A'e.
The strong man leads this group of people, and he is not an ordinary person. They have a name in Dali County, called the Archery Bow and Arrow Society, which is a folk society that fiddles with bows and arrows all day long, and has some martial arts. The strong man is the leader of the group, his name is Wu Chengzu, he is a brave and ruthless master, walking sideways on the street, no one dares to provoke.
"Bastard." When Qin Zhong heard this, he was furious. One separated the crowd and blocked the middle of the road.
Qin Chong was so angry, not because he was hot-headed or uneven, but because there were historical reasons.
Qin Chong's childhood can be said to have been spent in the Xiaoqi camp. It was not only Shi Yong who taught him martial arts, but also He Wu'er, old ghosts and some veterans, although they did not have the status of masters, but their feelings were not shallow, and they did their best to teach Qin Chong's martial arts. In Qin Chong's heart, these veterans were all his masters.
The old ghost's sadness, how could Qin Chong not know? In the early years, the old ghost lost his wife because of a big gamble, which became his lifelong hatred. The old ghost has always refused to say the reason, but seeing that he is drunk and crying every time, Qin Chong also guessed that there must be a last resort reason and has to give up his wife.
Listening to these things since he was a child had a great impact on Qin Chong's psychology. Therefore, Qin Chong hated the matter of taking his wife to pay off his debts. Today, I suddenly heard that my brother-in-law used my sister-in-law to pay off his debts, and his behavior was even more immoral, and his behavior was even worse. Oh's anger rose to his head, and he rushed forward regardless of it.
"Stop." Qin Chong stood in the street and shouted angrily.
The crowd in front of the city gate suddenly fell silent, and they all cast surprised eyes. Under a big tree not far from the city gate, the little Dao Gu Yunni was standing with the middle-aged Dao Gu, looking this way. Qin Chong let out a loud shout, and immediately attracted the attention of Xiao Daogu. The little nose wrinkled, and his mouth grunted, not knowing what to say.
"Let's go." The middle-aged Dao Gu's eyes were calm, and foreign objects did not linger.
"Auntie, look at it for a while, okay?" Xiao Daogu looked at the excitement and refused to leave.
"Call the master." The middle-aged Dao Gu reprimanded, but she also stood still and did not leave.
"Master." Xiao Daogu stuck out her tongue, smiled, and turned her gaze to Qin Chong again. "Master, do you think that man can save the woman? Shall we do the same? ”
The middle-aged Dao Gu rubbed her eyebrows and turned around and went under the tree. As soon as the robe was lifted, he sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes slightly, and no longer paid attention to the chatty little Daogu. When Xiao Daogu saw it, she seemed to be in her arms, and she smiled and squeezed into the crowd. To see the excitement, of course, you have to get closer, and watching it from a distance is like scratching your boots.
At this time, Qin Chong also confronted the strong man, and the two looked at each other fiercely.
"Boy, want to erect a beam?" The strong man looked disdainful, and his hands were on his hips.
"You won this woman?" Qin Zhong pointed at the woman and asked.
"Yes, what do you want, boy?" The strong man pouted and said.
"The master has taken a fancy to this woman and wants to win it." Qin Zhong said lightly.
The crowd around buzzed, as if five hundred ducks had suddenly flooded the pond, and there was a buzzing sound. Qin Chong shouted angrily, and everyone thought that the chivalrous man appeared to save the little woman from fire and water. Who knows, Qin Chong's words completely missed everyone's expectations. Looking at Qin Chong's gaze, they were also full of disdain and resentment.
"Oh? Interesting, interesting. The strong man laughed angrily, but anger burned in his eyes.
"How you want to bet, you draw the line." Qin said grinningly.
"Boy, you're not a little daring."
"What? Don't dare to bet? Qin Chong seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he was a strong man.
"How could I be afraid of you?"
"Come on, draw the line."
"Come on." The strong man's eyes widened, he took a step forward with his chest straight, and stood face to face with Qin Chong, no more than a fist away. His eyes were full of ferocity, and he was also forced to be irritable. In Wu Chengzu's heart, not to mention how awkward it was at the moment, he finally got his wish true and got A'e in his hands. Who knew that when he turned his face, he met the beam.
In front of everyone, if he didn't agree to bet with Qin Chong, he couldn't afford to lose that person.
Hehe, with a cruel smile, Wu Chengzu said, "If you want to bet, you can win or lose with one arrow." ”
"Archery?" Qin Chong looked confused and asked uncertainly.
Qin Chong's expression, in Wu Chengzu's eyes, became timid. Therefore, Wu Chengzu became more and more proud, spread his hands, and showed an ugly smile. "Don't dare to compare, get out of here as soon as possible."
"Compare, compare, compare, why not?" Qin Chong's face bloomed with a smile.
"There's no target here, so let's shoot the city wall." Wu Chengzu was very proud, and he dug a pit for the boy who erected the beam. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand back and shouted, "Take the master's hard bow." ”
Immediately, someone answered and ran in front of Wu Chengzu. A long backpack was taken off from the back and opened layer by layer, revealing a wooden box inside. The wooden box was opened with a "pop", revealing a delicate longbow, with a copper tire and an iron back, and a tiger and a tiger. Qin Zhong glanced at it and recognized that it was a two-stone bow.
"Thirty steps, the arrow shoots the bricks of the city wall, and the arrow does not enter the victory." Wu Chengzu grabbed the longbow and suddenly gained a bit of power. Squinting at Qin Chong, he said the rules of gambling.
"If I win, this woman still has a debt note, and I will take it away, and I will not regret it." Qin Chongsheng was afraid that Wu Chengzu would repent, so he once again clearly stated the conditions and asked him to promise in public.
"If you win, you will never regret it." Wu Chengzu said loudly. "The question is, what are you gambling with?"
"If the master loses, he will naturally be at your disposal, and there will be no other words."
"Okay." Wu Chengzu laughed loudly, ordered someone to disperse the onlookers, and measured the distance of thirty steps. Directly opposite, at a man-high position on the city wall, a circle was drawn with lime powder, the size of a watermelon. This is the target, you have to hit the target first, and then you have to score a few points.
Wu Chengzu stood still, closed his eyes slightly, and stabilized his mind. He stretched out his hand and raised his longbow.
There is also a bit of posture, Qin Chong silently commented in his heart.
