The sky was a little gloomy, the purple sky was obscured by the dark clouds, the air exuded a thick moisture, and after staying in the wild for a long time, fine droplets of water condensed on the hair and face. After Li Xiang came to Jiuqiu, he encountered such weather for the first time.

Inhaling the wet air, Mingshu was a little irritable, and she frowned: "I smell the smell of heavy rain." ”

Li Xiang does not reject rain, it often rains in his hometown, "I haven't seen the rain in Jiuqiu yet." ”

"If you've seen it, you won't like it. I don't know about the rest of the place, but the rain in Chiwang is so heavy that it's really not comfortable to get drenched. Mingshu looked into the village, "Why hasn't Uncle Huang come out yet?"

"I haven't found anyone yet. I don't know what this old acquaintance looks like six hundred years later. Li Xiang said, took out a two-pattern silver seed, and the four-leaf clover mark on the center of his eyebrows was also lit.

"What do you do?"

"Plant some rain gear and be prepared. ”

The four of them did not go ashore from Zhibao Village, but went directly to the next stop, Buhu Village, where Taryn Jones, who Li Xiang rescued in his hometown six hundred years later, lived. Mingshu was still reluctant to enter the village, so the search for the person was handed over to Huang Xu, and the three of them waited at the entrance of the village. But it didn't seem to be going well, Li wanted to plant a raincoat, rain boots, and an umbrella, but Huang Xu still didn't come back.

"By the way, let's plant some thick clothes, Kungo is about to enter the cold season. ”

"Is Kungo's cold season cold?"

"It's not too cold, just a jacket or something. ”

Sean lay on the grass and fell asleep, probably leaving the place that made him unhappy, and the little boy was so excited when he was in the underpass that he was reluctant to close his eyes, for fear that he would wake up and find out that it was a dream. During the four-day journey, he had slept for less than ten hours in total, and finally he couldn't support it anymore. The little one sleeps with an eye patch on.

Mingshu and Li Xiang guessed what catastrophe had happened in their hometown six hundred years later. Mingshu didn't have much hope of getting an answer from Taryn Jones, if he had known, he would have said it a long time ago. When jumping off the Shizhangdong Waterfall, Jones's head hit the rock, and after waking up, he couldn't remember many things clearly, and his thinking was also very confused, and Li Xiang's name was only remembered after a thousand years.

"Brother Tai seems to know something, did he tell you?"

"He talked to me about Jones and didn't say much to me about the disaster. ”

Huang Xu finally returned, and he brought back an old man with a western face. The old man is not Jones, he is Jones's former neighbor.

"Thirty years ago, Jones was gone. The day before leaving, he won a book in the casino called "Nine Hills Species Examination". The next day, he came to say goodbye to me, saying that he remembered that he used to do paleontological research, and there were so many strange species in Jiuqiu, he must go out to see it, and he never came back. The old man said.

The news made Li Xiang a little regretful, but fortunately, Jones seemed to have regained his memory.

Jones was not seen, and several of them were ready to get up. The old man saw Sean still asleep and was surprised, "Whose child is this? Why is it so similar to Jones?"

Huang Xu said with a smile: "Old man, you haven't seen 'poor death' for thirty years, maybe you remember it wrong." ”

The old man's eyes widened: "Jones and I have been neighbors for hundreds of years, how can I be mistaken?"

Huang Xu was about to speak, but Mingshu hurriedly said: "This child is only nine years old, it is impossible to have anything to do with Jones, we know who his father is." ”

The old man nodded and said that he might have made a mistake.

Li Xiang asked: "Old man, many villages in Chiwang have set up cards in the underpasses to collect tolls, why don't you have them here?" Mingshu glanced at Li Xiang, and said in her heart that you are still looking forward to others to collect tolls.

The old man laughed: "Our Buhu Village has always been rich, and we don't bother to do that kind of thing." Listening to the old man's words, Mingshu seemed very happy. The old man asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Xiang said, "Let's go to Kunwu." ”

"Kungo is a good place, I really want to see it. By the way, there is also a soul cultivator from Kunwu in our village, and I heard that he used to be the village chief in Kunwu. ”

"What's your name?" Mingshu hurriedly asked.

"Uncle Li. ”

"I know him, let's go meet him. Mingshu said happily.

"I'm afraid I won't see it, hey......" the old man sighed.

The rich Buhu Village, with the largest casino in Jiuqiu, was built 60 years ago, no one knows who the owner is, and no one in the village has ever seen it, and the casino is run by a steward. When the villagers can't find fun, they go to the casino to gamble on two. The casino has to establish itself in the village, so he is very polite to the villagers, and if he loses some money, someone will persuade him to leave the table. Outsiders are not so lucky, they know how to stop, leave the casino bare-assed, and those who lose red eyes often owe a butt of gambling debts and are forced to work as slaves in the casino and sell themselves to pay off their debts, and Li Shutong is one of them.

"Uncle Li left a letter saying that he was hiding from debts, but it turned out that he had come here to pay off his debts. Mingshu turned to Li Xiang: "I want to redeem Uncle Li." ”

"The little girl has a big tone, where can you get millions of gambling debts? Unless, you are the god of gambling. ”

Mingshu's eyes lit up: "Then let's gamble." ”

"Little girl, I advise you to forget it, nine out of ten bets are lost, I haven't seen anyone in the village who made a fortune from gambling. ”

Li Xiang turned his back to the old man, faced Mingshu, and blinked desperately: "Sister, we haven't gambled, and besides, the sum of the silver on our bodies is less than 10,000, how can we win back millions? If you want me to say it, Uncle Li is also to blame." Seeing his strange expression, Mingshu knew that some words were not good to say in front of outsiders, so she pouted very cooperatively, looking worried.

"This little baby is right, you haven't been in the casino, and when you go in, you give money. Unless you're lucky enough to win a nine-color jackpot, don't even think about it. Let's go, the rainstorm is coming, and I should go back. ”

Mingshu jumped in front of the old man in a few steps, "Old man, talk about the nine-color card and then go." ”

"The nine-color card doesn't require technology, it's all about luck. ”

The nine-color card has seven card slots, each card slot has nine cards, the first card slot contains the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and white nine-color cards, the second card slot is nine Arabic numerals, the third card slot is nine Chinese numbers, and the cards of the rest of the card slots correspond to the place names of the nine hills, the place names of Kyushu, the nine sons of the dragon and the nine official positions. The gambler can choose one of the seven stacks of cards in front of him, place a bet, shake the handle, and when the handle stops, a card will drop from each of the seven card slots. Guess two cards and you'll get half of your bet back, three cards will get you 1.1x the prize, and four to six cards will get two, four and ten times the multiplier respectively, and you can get a 150x mega jackpot if you guess all of them.

Mingshu's eyes lit up: "We can try." If we go all-in, won't we win more than a million prizes?"

"Sister, the probability of close to one in five million is too difficult, so forget it. Old man, you go first. We packed up and went to the underpass. ”

The old man smiled: "It's a good thing that young people aren't greedy, so I'll leave." ”

After the old man left, Li Xiang asked Huang Xu: "Uncle Huang, did you invite the old man here or did you come with him?"

"I came with me. ”

Li Xiang turned to Mingshu, "Sister Shu, why do I think this old man is digging a pit and waiting for us to jump?"

Mingshu smiled brightly, and for a while Li Xiang felt that the weather had cleared. "That's why I've been digging holes with him. Don't worry, I know that. Buhu Village, if you really think it's Bu Laohu, then you must have been eaten to the scum, that's how Uncle Li was trapped. We'll go in and play two in a while,"

"My sister, you still jump into it knowing it's a pit?"

"Ah, don't we still have Sean?"

Seeing Mingshu's appearance of Zhizhu in his hand, Li Xiang couldn't resist it, he still made some preparations, he planted a pair of blue sunglasses for Sean, after all, Sean was going to take off the blindfold in the casino, which was a bit too eye-catching. Wake up Sean, and the four of them deliberate again.
