Chapter 41: Gambler Father and Daughter?
It was afternoon, when the sun was blazing.
The two father and daughter also slipped away quickly, and Wen Chen followed all the way, almost losing them.
After crossing the small half of Shangjing City, the father and daughter finally stopped at a place called Baihuajing Lane, which was full of tattered walls, and passers-by were not as busy as the people on the street, but one by one, looking idle.
Wen Chen took a breath and looked at the eyes of the passers-by around him, and knew that this was definitely not a good place.
asked for a bowl of herbal tea at the tea stall on the side, and charged him ten cents.
However, he didn't care too much, his eyes stayed on the father and daughter not far away, and the two stood and paced back and forth, as if waiting for someone, even if the sun was scorching, they didn't find a shade to rest.
In Shangjing City, there are really few people who have the courage to blackmail the sect department, this big and small are either extremely vicious criminals who take risks to obtain money, or they really encounter something that cannot be solved, and they are forced to have no choice but to hit the official prostitute with their ideas.
However, Wen Chen still believes in his own vision, although the little girl named Ruyi is a bit of a chicken thief, but her eyes are clear, even if she leaned on herself just now, even if she lacked money, she was not like some petty children, taking advantage of others to quietly touch her money.
And the man named Mo Xuyou, if he is really a wishful father, he should not be a bad breed if he can teach such a smart and clever child with a bottom line.
The most important thing is that Wen Chen fell in love with the courage and vision of the father and daughter to find business opportunities, which not everyone has.
Since he and the little girl are so close to each other, if there is a chance, he might as well take the father and daughter a hand, and maybe they can achieve something for each other.
Just thinking about it, Wen Chen suddenly saw a fierce one-eyed man walk out of the mouth of the alley in the distance.
I saw that Mo Xuyou saw this person, and hurriedly greeted him, laughing with him, but he didn't know what to say, the one-eyed man nodded proudly, and then took the father and daughter into the alley.
"These two goods can't be blackmailed by the ruffians and hooligans......" Wen Chen touched his chin and quietly followed.
The alley is very shallow, there are only four or five households, the doors of the first few households are all sealed with wooden strips, and the entrance of the innermost door hole is hung with a black flag, a colorful tiger is painted on it, and a big "gamble" word is written!
"Gambling?" Wen Chen's brows sank, this is not a good place......
Did you meet a pair of gamblers father and daughter?
But after thinking about it so much, it's better to go in and find out.
So Wen Chen shook his fan and walked into the doorway, and as soon as he entered the door, not only did two gangster men with sharp weapons come out of a corner, and they came up and asked viciously,
"Boy, look at the eyes, what are you doing?"
Wen Chen glanced at the two of them lightly, "Looking for a woman." ”
When the two of them heard this, their faces immediately fell, "Can't see the flag hanging at the door?" Is this the place for you to find a woman? ”
"Cut, do you know and ask?" Wen Chen glanced at the two of them.
The two looked at each other, a little impatient, but when they saw that the man in front of them was luxurious and should be a fat sheep, they were patient, "Is there an introducer?" ”
"Lao Wang."
"Which old king?" One raised an eyebrow.
"Won't you go in and ask yourself?" Not to be outdone, Wen Chen said.
To deal with this kind of small role, you have to communicate with them, these people have no access to the core business, and they are afraid of delaying the main thing, and the mentality is very good.
"That cripple in Osmanthus Fang?"
Wen Chen pretended to be displeased and nodded, the most important thing in this world is Lao Wang, this lame man is a leg that was broken by a neighbor......
When the two saw it, they immediately let down their guard, "Let's go in." ”
Wen Chen didn't bother to respond, after passing through a long corridor, the front suddenly opened up, and the owner here actually opened up several nearby courtyards and surrounded a casino with a radius of two or three hundred square meters!
The tables are full of men and women, some play dice, some push pai gow, and there is a kind of mahjong-like flower cards that Wen Chen has never seen, and there are many ways to play, and they are different.
As the saying goes, ten gambles and nine losses, it can be said to be vividly reflected here, Wen Chen, who passed by, could always hear the voice of someone asking the dealer to borrow silver, and for the dress of these people, it should not be a small amount, and it is on the head at a glance.
The father and daughter were distinctive, and the trail was easy to find, and at a table in the northwest corner sat the big and the small, and the one-eyed dragon that had brought them in.
Wen Chen pretended to be casual and walked nearby, standing facing the gaming table on the side, but his ears listened to the movement of the father and daughter.
"Old Mo, have you thought about it, if you win this, the two of us will settle the account." The one-eyed dragon shook the dice cup in his hand and said with a smile.
But Mo Xuyou's father and daughter looked very nervous, clenching their fists tightly, unwilling to make a decision.
It's just that after coming in for a while just now, Mo Xuyou relied on the capital he brought to win back nearly two hundred taels of silver, and his luck could not be better.
As long as you bet all in and bet correctly, you can pay off the arrears of the seven hundred taels of silver borrowed from the one-eyed dragon, and you and your daughter can start a new life!
"Dad, bet big, bet big!" Ruyi tugged on Mo Xuyou's sleeve with two small hands and whispered.
Mo Xuyou shook his head cautiously, "No, no matter how big or small you bet, the probability of losing this game is more than eighty percent......"
Wen Chen, who was on the side, heard this, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
Probably? You think too much of yourself......
But the good news is that Mo Xuyou has realized that this is a pig-killing plate, and he can't gamble anymore, at least his mind is still sober.
"Brother Du, this one is no longer played, and the remaining silver brother will slowly return it in the future......"
But before the words fell, the dice cup in the one-eyed dragon's hand fell violently, "I'm sorry, it's too late, the little niece has already chosen a big ...... for you just now."
The lid was lifted, "One, two, five, small!" ”
Mo Xuyou's face turned pale, he sat on the ground with one butt, and Ruyi on the side cried and cried, "Dad, I was wrong, I won't talk anymore......"
"Uncle Du, this is not good, we won't gamble, woo woo woo ......"
The one-eyed dragon sneered, grabbed the IOU and silver ticket on the table, "Be a man to be honest, if you say it, you will spill the water, how can you say that if you don't gamble, you won't gamble?" ”
"Mo Xuyou, seven hundred taels of silver, this month is not over, next month is one thousand four hundred taels, you must remember!"
As he spoke, the one-eyed dragon suddenly felt a gust of wind blow beside him, and a powerful palm rested on his neck.
"Don't scream, don't behave abnormally, now, put the silver ticket and IOU on the table, and take us out, or I'll go down your throat right now." An indifferent voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Godfather?!" Ruyi saw the person behind the one-eyed dragon, and couldn't help but cry out in surprise, and was hurriedly hugged in his arms by Mo Xuyou.
The pain in his neck made the one-eyed dragon understand that this person was not trying to scare him, but the experience and courage of years of mixing in the underclass still made him suppress the horror in his heart.
"Brother, do you know whose field this is?"
"I don't want to know." Wen Chen replied lightly, "I hope this is the last nonsense you say, now, do as I say." ”
The one-eyed dragon narrowed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother, don't let me see ...... in Shangjing City"
Smack-
Before he finished speaking, the one-eyed dragon instantly felt a sharp pain in his throat, as if he had been hit hard by a blunt object, and as if he had stuffed an iron rod from his mouth, the pain was unbearable, and he was dizzy and dizzy for a while, and he couldn't stand steadily.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Wen Chen's slightly curled knuckles slowly unfurled.
The one-eyed dragon shook his head with difficulty, honestly took out the silver ticket and IOU he had just taken from his arms, and handed them to Mo Xuyou.
Then, Wen Chen walked out of the gate with his arms around his neck, and people who didn't know thought how close the relationship between the two was.
