Chapter Twenty-Eight: Seeking Wealth and Danger
Looking at the content of the text message, Chu Yu had to sigh at the same time as he was surprised, but Chu Yu thought about it, and began to worry in his heart, since this Luo Shishi knew that he had come to the empire and knew Wang Hao's mobile phone number, did it mean that his party was under their surveillance? Thinking like this, Chu Yu took the phone and told Wang Hao and the others the content of Luo Shishi's text message.
"What does this girl want to do?" After Chu Yu finished speaking, Wang Hao put down his chopsticks and said: "She is a person with seven colored flowers, and she is not friends with us, I don't think it's a good thing." ”
"What if she's lonely?" Li Ge took a sip of milk on the side, his mouth full of foam: "A woman like her is not looked down upon by ordinary people, maybe she will fall in love with Brother Yu." That's the rhythm of the meeting. ”
As soon as Li Ge spoke, not only Chu Yu frowned, but Cao Huiti also glared at Li Ge on the side: "Li Ge, if you are like this again, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”
"I said, Brother Cao, you still want to clean me up like this? Li Ge smiled, but he was no longer poor when he spoke, and said to Chu Yu seriously: "You ask her what is the matter first." ”
Chu Yu hummed and replied to a message, and soon Luo Shishi's text message came back. Chu Yu frowned at the content of the text message, and then said to Wang Hao and the others, "She told us to be careful." ”
"Let us be careful?" Wang Hao was confused: "What's the matter?"
"Who else is there besides the Seven-Colored Flower?" Li Ge said and glanced at Cao Huiti: "Since the Seven-Colored Flower has made a move against the Cao family, Brother Yu has also killed Bai Zizi, and their shili in the empire may not let us go." ”
"It doesn't seem safe for us to live here. Wang Hao followed Li Ge's words and said: "Today I will find another house, let's rent a two-bedroom apartment." ”
Chu Yu said hello, and he sent a message to Luo Shishi with his mobile phone, and he asked Luo Shishi what he was worried about, but this time the message was sent, but he didn't get a reply. Chu Yu thought about it and wanted to call over, but Zuihou still dispelled this idea, Luo Shishi must have a reason for not replying to the text message, otherwise he would not send a message to himself.
Put the mobile phone back in their pockets, the four of them continued to eat, after one meal, today's things were also arranged, Cao Huiti continued to stay in the hotel to recuperate, Wang Hao went out to find a house, Li Ge and Chu Yu went out to look around casually to see if they could find a job to do, after all, the four of them had to live in the empire, and even if they went to the criminal domain to inquire about the news, they all needed money.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Chu Yu, Wang Hao, and Li Ge went downstairs together, and came downstairs, Wang Hao and Chu Yu and Li Ge separated, and walked north with a map, Chu Yu and Li Ge walked south, walked two steps, Chu Yu, who noticed something, turned around, glanced at the upstairs of the hotel where he lived, and found that Cao Huiti was standing by the window looking at this side, and waved his hand to Cao Huiti, and Chu Yu continued to walk on the street with Li Ge.
The sun hung warmly in the sky, people came and went on the street, Chu Yu and Li Ge were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery on the street, the two walked aimlessly, Nancheng seemed to Chu Yu to be similar to Phoenix, with high-rise buildings, mixed with some low houses, and some advertisements for recruiting waiters were posted in front of some restaurants, and the two walked for a while, Li Ge frowned: "Brother Yu, it's not a way for us to go on like this." ”
"Then you want to find a way to come out?" Chu Yu, who had already had an idea in his heart, said with a smile.
Hearing Chu Yu's words, Li Ge thought about it seriously: "It depends on what kind of job we are looking for." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Chu Yu was stunned.
"It's not good to live seriously, we can't earn a few gold coins in a month when we're tired and tired. Li Ge said: "I want to do something desperate." ”
"Lives for money?"
"Not really. Li Ge frowned: "I couldn't sleep last night, I studied the biographies of celebrities in the empire, and found that many of the rich and noble people in them are crooked and heretical, and this is the reason for seeking wealth and danger, right?"
Chu Yu snorted, took out the map and looked at it twice, and then smiled at Li Ge: "I have a way here, but I don't know if it works in the empire." ”
"What door?" Hearing Chu Yu's words, Li Ge asked with some surprise, after speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at the intersection - at the intersection in front, there was a store, and there was a group of people around the door of the store, all of them holding money in their hands, crowding into the door of the store, with different expressions.
"This is where lottery tickets are sold?" Looking at the lottery store, Li Ge looked at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu nodded, and Li Ge pulled Chu Yu towards the door of the store: "Let's go, I'll also buy two bets, bang luck." ”
Looking at Li Ge's curious appearance, Chu Yu didn't hit him, just followed Li Ge to the lottery betting station, came to the lottery betting station, Li Ge asked the price, and saw that it was ten copper coins and one note, he took a silver coin and prepared to buy ten notes, while Chu Yu stood at the door and watched.
An old man in ragged clothes appeared in Chu Yu's sight, the old man came to the betting machine, and the clerk at the betting point glanced at the old man and knocked out a set of numbers for him.
Holding the number in his hand, the old man looked at it a few times, and then carefully took out a handful of copper coins, counted ten copper coins and handed them over, Chu Yu saw clearly that there were still three copper coins left in the old man's hand. Looking at the old man's appearance, Chu Yu frowned, looking at the old man's dress, it seemed that it was difficult to eat a meal, but he still bought a lottery ticket? Seeing that Li Ge was queuing, Chu Yu became curious about the old man in front of him, when the old man passed by Chu Yu's side, Chu Yu took out a cigarette and handed it over and asked: "Uncle, everyone else reports numbers, don't you choose a set of numbers yourself?"
The old man glanced at Chu Yu, and was not angry because Chu Yu blocked his way, after taking the cigarette, the old man first took the cigarette and put it under his nose and smelled it, seeing Chu Yu handed over the big shelf, the old man took it and lit it, and after taking a puff beautifully, the old man said: "I chose the number myself, because I always buy lottery tickets here." They know which set of numbers I want. So, as soon as I come, they will knock out the numbers I chose earlier. ”
"So you say the number you pick is the same every time?"
The old man smiled: "Yes, it's all the same." I've been buying lottery tickets for this set of numbers for forty years, and I've been coming every week for those forty years. The old man looked at the people who bought the lottery tickets and said, "Spend ten copper coins a week to buy a hope." ”
Hearing the old man's words, Chu Yu quickly calculated in his mind, fifty-two weeks in a year, and twenty-eight weeks in forty years, ten copper coins per week...... Looking at the tattered appearance of the old man's clothes, Chu Yu's face was full of shock, he was shocked that the old man could hold on for so many years: "Have you ever been hit?"
Seeing Chu Yu ask like this, the old man suddenly became embarrassed and muttered, "I haven't been hit." At one point, there was only one difference between the jackpot and the number I chose. ”
"Then you don't change the numbers?"
The old man shook his head firmly: "I didn't think about changing." ”
Chu Yu frowned: "I've heard of the empire's lottery industry before, and today is the first time I've seen it, don't be surprised if you say something wrong." Chu Yu glanced at the old man's expression as he spoke, and when he saw him nodding, he continued: "In my opinion, the probability of this set of numbers in your hand appearing is extremely low, why don't you change the group of numbers for luck?"
The old man smiled, and after taking a puff of his cigarette, he said, "Isn't the odds the same if you change a set of numbers?"
Chu Yu didn't know how to answer, in his opinion, the old man was ragged and haggard, although the money to buy lottery tickets every week was not much, but he bought them week after week, and the money he had accumulated to buy lottery tickets over the years was not a small amount. He could actually use the money to buy himself clothes to protect himself from the cold, or to eat a full meal.
What Chu Yu didn't understand even more was that he would stubbornly repeat the same set of numbers and never change them, which was definitely not a wise move in Chu Yu's opinion. Looking at the old man, Chu Yu didn't know what to say, only silence.
Li Ge had already come to the betting machine at this time, and was reporting the numbers, the old man smoked a cigarette, and when he saw that Chu Yu didn't speak, he took the initiative to say: "You must be curious to know what kind of numbers it is, right?"
Chu Yu nodded: "I'm a little curious." ”
The old man took out the lottery ticket he bought, and a trace of blush appeared on his face, he looked down at the lottery ticket, and said to Chu Yu in a low voice, his voice was a little shy: "This set of numbers is composed of the birthday of my first girlfriend." Every week when I come here to place my bets, I think of her. The old man said and looked at the sky in the distance: "When I think of him, my heart warms. ”
"What about the day of the lottery, and when you know you didn't win, do you feel sad?"
The other laughed again, some of his teeth had fallen out: "No." Because I didn't win this draw, I was able to buy a new ticket right away, and hope grew again. The old man looked at Chu Yu and said, "I'm very poor, you don't know, in the empire, the hope of belonging to the poor is very limited." I can buy a week of happiness with such a small amount of money, and this kind of opportunity, on this shijie, is really not much. ”
The old man said as he stroked a set of numbers on the lottery ticket with his hand: "This set of numbers holds my memories. If I had picked the numbers and hit the jackpot, she would have noticed it because it was her birthday. At this, the old man's face showed a hint of cunning, as if he had been rewarded: "If she knew that someone had won the lottery on her birthday, would you have wondered who had won the prize? The old man said and put the lottery ticket back in his pocket: "She will immediately understand that I have not forgotten her in my life, and that I have so much money, she may come to me......"
After speaking, the old man glanced at Chu Yu and smiled at Chu Yuyou, then he turned around and walked slowly.
Looking at the old man's back, Chu Yu was silent on the spot, or Li Ge returned to him and shouted, he came back to his senses, looking at Chu Yu who was deep in thought, Li Ge asked out loud: "What's the matter, what did you say to that old man?"
"It's nothing, it's just a casual conversation. Chu Yu replied with a slight bitterness in his heart. After speaking, he looked at the lottery ticket in Li Ge's hand, made two jokes and rushed to his destination - Chu Yu was going to the largest perfume mall in Nancheng, and the person he was looking for was the behind-the-scenes boss of the mall.
Coming to the shopping mall called Xiangpiaoli, Chu Yu saw a dazzling array of various perfumes and various cosmetics for girls, and after finding the security personnel of the mall, Chu Yu went up to consult something, watching Chu Yu talk to the security guard, Li Ge was confused, he couldn't figure out what Chu Yu was doing here.
"You liar!" The security guard pushed Chu Yu after hearing what Chu Yu said: "Where did you come from, where did you go, the boss is what you want to see?" Looking at Chu Yu's dress, he said with a little dog eyes.
"Just tell me where your boss works, and he'll know if I'm a liar or not. ”
"Do you believe that I can arrest you with a phone call?" The security guard looked disdainful: "Let me tell you, I have seen a lot of salesmen like you, you have perfume? Do you think my brain is in water?"
Chu Yu frowned, looked at Li Ge who came to him, and just as he was about to leave, a woman from the second floor looked at Chu Yu and shouted, "Hey, what are you arguing about?"
The security guard looked up and saw that he didn't know the woman, so he didn't pay attention.
Looking up at the woman dressed in jewelry, Chu Yu showed a smile on her face: "I'm here to sell perfume." ”
"Oh?" the woman said, looking at the security guards, "Let him come up, I'll explain to your boss if something happens." ”
"Who are you? We can't just let him in. ”
"Who am I?" Hearing the security guard's words, the woman smiled, "I'm friends with your boss." ”
"It's not okay to be a friend, the company has a rule, and you can't enter without knowing your identity. The security guard frowned.
"Forget it. Chu Yu glanced at Li Ge: "Since we can't enter this place, there will always be a place for us to go." After speaking, Chu Yu smiled at the woman, turned around and left with Li Ge.
As soon as the two of them came to the mall with a lot of fragrance, they heard a voice behind them: "It's the first time I've seen a man selling perfume, let me see your perfume, if it's enough haode, I'll pay a lot of money to buy it." If you're a liar, I guarantee you won't get out of the South City. ”
