Chapter 349: Inauguration [Dao Tong]
The copper coin is in hand, but the Dao machine in it is not Lin Qianxing's, so he can't take up the post of [Dao Tong] now.
"Hey, what are you doing! That's my money! The gambler looked at Lin Qianxingdao.
"I have a relationship with Your Excellency, so I want to buy your copper coin." Lin Qianxing said.
At the same time, Lin Qianxing also took out a gold coin.
The gambler looked at the gold coin, and the greed in his eyes flashed, but he said uncharacteristically: "Don't sell it, don't sell it for any money, you let me go." ”
Lin Qianxing could see that he didn't want to sit on the ground and raise the price, but really thought that this copper coin meant a lot to him, and it was bigger than this money.
At this time, the gambler snatched the copper coin back from Lin Qianxing's hand, and then carefully put it in the inner pocket in his arms.
During the whole process, Lin Qianxing did not stop it.
The acquisition of the Taoist machine is based on chance.
He had to let the gambler take the initiative to give up the ownership of the copper coins and cut off the cause and effect in order to truly get the Dao opportunity.
This process is the ceremony of his inauguration.
Of course, there are many ways for Lin Qianxing to obtain it, it is okay to buy and sell it by force, or simply beat him up, force him to give up and then grab it.
Either way, it's fate.
However, Lin Qianxing knows very well that the twisted melon is not sweet, and the opportunity to forcibly seize it is definitely not a first-class opportunity.
So he still planned to spend more time to end the above cause and effect.
"What's the name of the gentleman?" Lin Qianxing asked the gambler.
"My surname is Zhu, the third in the family, you can call me Zhu San, look at the dress on your body, are you a student in the school palace?" Zhu San looked at Lin Qianxing, rolled his eyes and said: "In this way, I have been quite prosperous recently, you lend me some money, and when I turn over the book, I will share it with you." ”
Lin Qianxing was silent, just looked at Zhu San with a smile.
"Four-six? Three-seven? Twenty-eight is already the limit!! Zhu San kept testing Lin Qianxing's bottom line.
"That copper coin has some value to me, if Mr. Zhu San is willing to cut his love, money is not a problem." Lin Qianxing said.
When Zhu San heard this, he was directly stunned.
He didn't know why Lin Qianxing wanted his copper coin, but he really didn't want to sell this copper coin.
Even though he has lost all his money several times, he still keeps it and has never used it as gambling money, which is his last bottom line.
"Sorry, I can't sell it." Zhu San shook his head and said.
"Don't you want to ask me how much I offer?" Lin Qianxing said: "How about a hundred gold? ”
Zhu San's heart beat sluggishly, his cheeks were rosy, and his hands unconsciously covered his chest.
"What about a thousand gold?" Lin Qianxing said again.
Zhu San swallowed a mouthful of saliva, how can he gamble so that he can earn that thousand gold?
With this thousand gold, what else can he not get?
He slowly reached out and pulled out the copper coin in his arms, and the moment his fingertips touched it, his expression returned to clarity.
"No, you can't!" Zhu San shook his head violently and said to Lin Qianxing: "I can't sell it, no matter how much money I have." ”
Lin Qianxing smiled, what is this?
The anchor of his humanity?
Even though the gambling is so bad, there are still things that you are obsessed with.
Then the key to this Dao machine will be clear and clear.
"Mr. Zhu San, do you want something to eat?" Lin Qianxing asked, "I'm in for a treat." ”
"You're in for a treat!" Zhu San repeated.
"I'm in for a treat!" Lin Qianxing affirmed: "Any restaurant in the city is fine." ”
Hearing this, Zhu San didn't think much about it, and directly led Lin Qianxing to the most luxurious restaurant in the city.
He already had nothing, and he didn't care what Lin Qianxing was thinking.
As for the copper coin?
Judging from Lin Qianxing's bearing, he may be able to do it even if he snatches it directly.
Since he didn't rob it at the beginning, it proves that he is somewhat a reasonable person.
In that case, then he has nothing to fear.
In the restaurant, Zhu San was talking with Lin Qianxing, and he was enjoying the food in the restaurant with ease.
When he ate, his eyes were full of nostalgia, familiar with a little strange, he must have been a frequent visitor here, but then he gradually came less often.
"Looking at Mr. Zhu San's conversation, he used to be a scholar, right? Why did you get to where you are now? Lin Qianxing asked.
"I got addicted to gambling and couldn't quit, and as soon as my wife and children left, I thought about making money in the gambling house to make them change their minds, and I lost everything." Speaking of this, Zhu San smiled indifferently and said: "You go to the gambling house and walk around, this kind of story is not a hundred but eighty, it is not new, in recent years, the imperial court has gradually banned gambling, and this kind of thing has become less, but speaking of which, who can blame it?" Don't you blame ourselves! If you don't get to that gamble, who can get to such a point? ”
"That copper coin was given by Mr. Zhu San's important person, right?" Lin Qianxing asked.
Hearing Lin Qianxing mention this copper coin again, Zhu San looked a little vigilant, but he was eating other people's things, and he couldn't stop answering at all, he explained briefly: "My daughter gave it to me." ”
"It's a blessing, isn't it? I heard that the red rope on it needs to be woven by 3,000 fine red threads entangled, which is a very complicated process, so that Ai must have great respect for Mr. Zhu San. Lin Qianxing said.
Hearing this, Zhu San fell silent.
The hands that were eating froze.
Tears poured out of the corners of his eyes.
"I'm really not a thing, I even gambled on her tuition fees"
Saying that, Zhu San couldn't help but give himself two slaps.
His face was visibly red and swollen, which showed that these two slaps were indeed ruthless.
Perhaps this pain would make his conscience feel better.
"Since Mr. Zhu San knows that he is wrong, why doesn't he get lost?" Lin Qianxing said: "It's not too late to make amends!" ”
Zhu San shook his head and said: "It's useless, if you touch that thing, you can't quit anymore, I tried not to think about it, but every time I dream of it, when I think of the victory or defeat on the gambling table, I can't hold myself, my wife's dowry was lost by me, and the money that Lao Taishan gave me to buy an estate was also used by me, I can't save it, I'm no longer saved, fortunately, they left me in time, otherwise nothing will stay." ”
"It's better to do this, I'll help Mr. Zhu San quit your gambling addiction and get your wife and daughter back again, Mr. Zhu San, how about you give me that lucky money?" Lin Qianxing said.
Zhu San raised his head, there seemed to be hope in his eyes, but he shook his head and said, "They won't forgive me." ”
"Mr. Zhu San didn't try, how do you know the result?" Lin Qianxing Road.
"I've done so many excessive things," Zhu San said ashamedly.
"But you've also done a lot of things that your family can look forward to, haven't you?" Lin Qianxing smiled and said, "Isn't this lucky money proof?" ”
Zhu San hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "How can you help me?" ”
"It's simple, just dream." Lin Qianxing said.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing reached out to Zhu San's eyebrows and transmitted a piece of dream information to Zhu San's mind.
Zhu San closed his eyes and fell directly into a dream.
In a dream.
Zhu San is still obsessed with gambling, the only difference is that this time his wife and daughter did not leave.
He became more and more intense, gambling to the back, losing his humanity for a while, and wanting to put his wife and daughter on the gambling table.
"How? As long as you sign this deed of sale, you will have money to gamble again. The housekeeper of the gambling house said with a smile.
Zhu San was short of breath, looking at his wife and daughter who were being held hostage, his heart was full of thoughts, and his thumb gradually put on the top of the deed of sale.
"Daddy, you're back!"
Suddenly, a call came, causing Zhu San to pause.
He turned his head to look at his nine-year-old daughter.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
"Hey, aren't you thinking about regretting it at this time? You can't quit!! The housekeeper said, "Honestly put down your handprints and gamble again, this is what you should do." ”
Hearing the sound, Zhu San's body trembled.
No one knows better than him how difficult it is to resist this temptation.
He wants to bet!
He really wanted to bet!!
I want to !!
Suddenly!
Zhu Sanyi stretched out his hand, picked up the short knife used to cut out the fingers of a thousand people next to him, and slashed at his right wrist.
"Ah~!!"
Zhu San woke up from his dream, and his whole body was already soaked with sweat.
He looked at his right hand, the pain was still fresh in his memory, but his right hand was still there.
A glimmer of joy welled up in my heart.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Qianxing also said, "Mr. Zhu San, are you still gambling?" ”
Zhu San came back to his senses and looked at Lin Qianxing, the complex expression on his face was difficult to express in words, at this moment, he seemed to be in his teens and twenties.
In the end, he seemed to see through everything, and lightly spit out three words: "Don't gamble." ”
Saying these three words, his temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and he is no longer as decadent as before.
"Then Mr. Zhu San needs me to help you find the location of your wife and daughter?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"No need, you've done enough, I'll do the rest myself." Zhu San let out a long breath of turbid air and said, "According to the agreement, this lucky money is yours." ”
Zhu San carefully took out the blessing money from his arms and handed it to Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing smiled and stretched out his hands and took it over.
The Dao machine above has changed hands at this time, and it belongs to Lin Qianxing himself.
"Thank you, sir." Zhu San said.
"Mr. Zhu San should thank yourself instead of thanking me." Lin Qianxing got up and said, "I hope Mr. Zhu San will remember today's choice." ”
"I will remember it, and I will never dare to forget it for the rest of my life." Zhu San unconsciously held the wrist of his right hand and said.
Compared with the pain of cutting off his wrist, the pain in his heart when his daughter called him was the most uncomfortable for him.
Just when Zhu San was about to ask Lin Qianxing's name, there was no longer Lin Qianxing's figure in front of him.
On the other side, Lin Qianxing was walking on the street, the copper coins in his hands were scattered into ashes, and all the Taoist machines were absorbed by him, and a picture appeared in front of him.
It was a picture of a young girl weaving red silk and praying for her father's return.
It is this sincere longing that can make Zhu San not make mistakes again and again, leaving a glimmer of the possibility of the prodigal son turning back.
It was Zhu San who always responded sincerely to this thought, and he made the right choice at a critical time and broke free from the shackles with great perseverance.
In the whole process, Lin Qianxing's role was just to witness and guide some things to happen.
"Is this fate?" Lin Qianxing said suddenly.
