Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Game of Fortune

The night was dark and the stars were dim.

Shanggou Village, the whole village is only 100 households, tired from a day of work, and at this time they have already fallen asleep.

In this dark night, the sound of barking dogs and the estrus of wild cats are heard from time to time, adding a bit of gloomy and bleak atmosphere to the night.

At this time, outside the village, a group of people quietly rushed towards a family in the village.

It was where Zhao Ping lived, on the outskirts of the village.

These people are scattered in all directions, all of them covering their faces with cloths, holding sharp weapons in their hands, and a touch of greed is released in their eyes.

Among them, there are gamblers and good players.

They both found each other, but they didn't care, and they didn't tear their faces until they saw the silver.

In the distance, the guards of the gambling house owner watched a group of people approaching Zhao Ping's house, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and behind him, followed by five or six people, all of whom were good hands.

He was not in a hurry to get in, but waited for them to do it first, and he only needed to deal with the person who got the money.

He watched a group of people enter Zhao Ping's compound, and he thought that soon there would be a fierce battle there, or at least scream, but, to his surprise, there was nothing.

A full time of incense passed, and those people seemed to have entered another world, and no news came.

The man's face was gloomy, and he looked at the person behind him, "Xiao Wu, you go in and see what's going on, why didn't any of those people come out!" ”

The man known as Xiao Wu was holding a long knife in his hand, his face was fierce, he nodded when he heard the words, and stepped forward boldly.

Soon, he came to the outside of Zhao Ping's small courtyard and turned over directly into it.

However, after another stick of incense, Xiao Wu seemed to have disappeared, and there was no movement.

"You have to jump twice to kill a chicken, what's going on!"

The guard's face was extremely difficult to take, and he was also a little uneasy in his heart, but if the boss's money could not be returned, he knew his fate better.

With a ruthless heart, he looked at the people behind him and whispered, "Let's go, go in and see what's going on!" ”

These people were also frightened by the scene just now, and they were a little uneasy in their hearts, but when the boss spoke, they didn't dare not listen, so they could only move forward boldly.

A group of people came to the outside of Zhao Ping's courtyard and turned over directly into it.

As soon as it fell, the guards found that the courtyard was calm, no one existed, and the miserable white moonlight fell, but they couldn't help but feel a touch of coolness.

"What about them?"

A man's voice opened with a hint of trembling.

There were more than five or six people who came in just now, and so many people came in, even if they were killed, it was easier than disappearing into thin air.

The guard's face was gloomy, and he looked ahead, and the room was dark, and there was a faint snoring sound.

"Let's go inside!"

The guard spoke.

A group of people were about to step forward, when suddenly, a red figure appeared in the doorway, holding a dice in his hand, looking at them with a grin.

Looking at this figure, everyone stopped, their scalps were numb, this was a little boy, he looked no more than seven or eight years old, but he was dressed in red, with a strange smile on his face, stared at by this pair of eyes, they all felt as if they were being targeted by some kind of terrible beast.

"Ghost!"

A person screamed in fright, turned around and wanted to run, but when he turned around, he found that it was still Zhao Ping's door in front of him, and the strange figure was still standing in front of the door, staring at them with a strange face.

"There are ghosts, heads, there are ghosts!"

The crowd was terrified and trembling all over.

The leading guard's body was also trembling slightly, but his psychological quality was still stronger than the others after all, he mustered up his courage, looked at the red child in front of him, and said tentatively, "I'm sorry, we went to the wrong place, we have no intention of disturbing, please let us go." ”

On the other side, the red-clothed child tilted his head to look at them, and the dice in his hand were suddenly thrown to the ground, and the next moment, the dice spun up and finally stopped.

Four.

The dice seemed to come to life, rolling towards them, eventually stopping at their feet.

The guards and others looked at this scene and seemed to understand something, his eyes flashed, and he said to a person behind him, "Little Liu, you come and shake the dice." ”

The man's body trembled, and he almost cried, "Head, I, I'm afraid." ”

"Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!"

The guard looked at him with a gloomy face, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Xiao Liu was frightened by this gaze, so he could only step forward and pick up the dice with trembling hands, without any abnormality, Xiao Liu trembled and threw the dice out and spun on the ground.

Soon, the dice stopped, five o'clock!

A group of people looked blankly ahead, not knowing what the meaning of this was, but the guards had sharp eyes and noticed that a courtyard wall appeared behind them.

"Hurry up, the courtyard wall has appeared!"

The guard roared under his breath.

A group of people also found out about this situation, and there was a hint of ecstasy in their eyes, and they were about to leave without saying a word, who knows, just after taking a step, the courtyard wall disappeared, and the child in red looked at them with a smile.

All of them stiffened, turned around in a daze, and saw the kid spinning the dice again, and the next moment, there was a point, three!

The dice continued to fall in front of them.

At this moment, the guard seemed to understand something, and said in a low voice, "I understand, this ghost thing wants to bet with us, as long as the points are greater than him, we can go back step by step." ”

The others were not stupid, and immediately reacted, and one of them said in a trembling voice, "What if it is smaller than him?" ”

The guard didn't speak, but everyone already had a guess in their minds.

"Little Liu, go on!"

The guard looked at Xiao Liu and motioned for him to continue.

After all, he had just thrown a five, and he was lucky.

Xiao Liu's whole body shook like sieving chaff at this time.

However, he did not dare not listen, otherwise, he would be killed immediately.

Therefore, Xiaoliu picked up the dice and threw them again.

This time luck is not on his side, just one or two.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Liu's face turned pale.

The next moment, a pale and withered hand suddenly stretched out on the ground where Xiao Liu was, grabbed him, and instantly sank to the ground, and the courtyard returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at this scene, a group of people were all convulsed, and one person couldn't help but scream in horror.

"I, I was wrong, I want to go home!"

He cried directly, frightened by this scene.

However, no one laughed at each other, and if they could, they wished they hadn't been here today.

On the other side, the red-clad kid continued to throw the dice, seemingly non-stopping.

The dice stopped again, and a group of people looked at the points in front of them, and their faces turned pale.

Six!

Unless they also throw a six, they're going to die again!

The guard's face was also ugly, and he looked behind him, a group of people were trembling, huddled there, and were grabbed by him.

"Head, spare my life, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"

The man struggled desperately, but to no avail.

"Fight hard, maybe we can all live, as long as I get out alive, I will definitely be kind to your family."

The guard's voice spoke in a deep voice.

"Otherwise, you'll die now."

Hearing this, the other party's struggling body suddenly stopped, a miserable smile appeared on his face, he stopped struggling, picked up the dice on the ground, and began to throw them.

A group of people were all looking nervously, and unfortunately, the miracle did not happen, four o'clock.

Beneath the ground, an arm suddenly stretched out, pulling the other into it.

The horror game continues, with fewer guards bringing in fewer people, and occasionally with more points than the other party, they can get close to the courtyard wall behind.

In less than a stick of incense, everyone disappeared, leaving only the guards.

The guard looked at the courtyard wall behind him, there were only two steps left, as long as he could win the opponent twice, he could leave smoothly.

On the other side, the kid in red throws the dice again, revealing the number of points, another six!

Seeing this scene, the guard's heart sank, and his whole body was cold!

"I don't believe it, I'm getting out of here!"

A look of reluctance flashed in the guard's eyes, and he knew that after he threw the dice, it would probably be his own death.

A flash of madness flashed in his eyes as he looked at the other party, "I'll kill you!" ”

As the words fell, he stomped his foot, and a small crater appeared in the ground, and his body flew out like an arrow from a string.

The long knife in his hand slashed out, and he wanted to kill the ghost thing in front of him with one sword.

However, looking at the guard who suddenly burst out, a strange smile appeared on the other party's face, without the slightest dodge, the next moment, the guard felt that his feet seemed to be grabbed by something, and the next moment, his body was pulled directly into the ground, sinking into it in an instant.

The courtyard was calm again, and the red-clothed figure slowly dissipated.

The night was quiet, the moon was like water, and in the dark room, the sound of Zhao Ping's snoring came, becoming the only sound in the night.

In a mansion in the county, the owner of the gambling house has been waiting for news from his subordinates, but it is almost dawn, and no one has returned.

"Did this bastard run away with the money?"

The owner of the gambling house muttered to himself, but then shook his head, that was his confidant, who had followed him for more than ten years, and even saved his life.

However, until the sky was slightly bright, he didn't see the other party come back, and his face was gloomy, "It seems that something happened." ”

He planned to go and see it himself, so he called the other guards, a group of more than a dozen people, all outlaws, and hurried out of the city.

Soon, he came to the outside of Shanggou Village, he asked a person to go and check it, and soon, the other party came back, "There is no movement in Zhao Ping's house, he seems to be sleeping." ”

Hearing this, the gambling house owner's eyes were cold, "What the hell is going on?" ”

He wanted to catch Zhao Ping for interrogation, but it was daytime, and he took people away with such a swagger, which was a slap in the face of the government.

Therefore, he could only barely suppress the anger in his heart and turned away with people.
