Chapter 40: Five Poisons
"This little snake is really powerful, don't look at its appearance, this attack power is really nothing to say. An old man in the crowd said.
Wen Qingqing smiled: "Oh, this old gentleman, you said that this little snake is powerful, so why don't we gamble?"
The old man looked at her and said, "Okay, young man, how do you want to bet?"
Wen Qingqing said: "I bet on the centipede to win, ten taels of silver as a bet, what do you think?"
The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, just gamble, it's a big deal not to drink today." And he took a minot, and put it on the ground.
Wen Qingqing smiled: "A word is a certainty, bet away." After saying that, he also took out the silver and threw it on the ground.
Seeing this, there were also coaxing people, some stood on Wen Qingqing's side, and some supported the old man, so they took out the silver and threw it on the ground.
In the midst of everyone's applause, the situation on the field changed again. I saw that the centipede seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and suddenly became brave and abnormal, and suddenly lifted its body and pressed the little snake underneath. Then, he opened his mouth and bit the little snake back.
The centipede was more than a foot long, as thick as a wooden stick, with teeth and claws, and its whole body was powerful, obviously an adult big centipede, and it was naturally very powerful to bite down. The little snake's back was suddenly torn apart, and blood-red blood stained its body, but even so, it was still entangled in the centipede, and would not let go a little.
"Okay, bite it, bite it!" shouted the centipede winners, dancing there with excitement on their faces.
"Hold on, fight back, fight back。。。。。。 Seeing that the little snake was dying, it had fallen into the disadvantage, and those who bought the little snake to win turned green all of a sudden, and their confidence seemed to have been hit, and their voices became smaller and smaller.
The little snake persisted for a while, but finally lost its strength, and its body went limp, and it suddenly let go.
"Hehe, I won!" Wen Qingqing jumped up happily and reached out to get the silver.
"Wait a minute, don't worry, there seems to be a change. Someone in the crowd said suddenly.
Everyone looked over, only to see that the centipede was still alive just now, and in a blink of an eye, its body was crooked and fell to the ground. And the little serpent, though it was lying there, struggled hard, and in a few moments it was erected again.
"Haha, I won! The old man's face was smiling like a twisted flower, and it was crawling with countless "earthworms", shaking his hands, picking up the silver, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.
"Hmph, I'm really. Wen Qingqing couldn't help but curse, stepped forward, and kicked at the little snake. Kicked it off and flipped it aside.
"Let you be reckless, and cause me to lose money for no reason. That's what happens when you offend me. Wen Qingqing scolded angrily.
Qiao Zhengyu couldn't stop laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, and after a while, he said to Lingque'er: "Well, Miss Wu really has good eyesight, she already knew that the little snake would win, and you didn't want to say it when you sold it to me before, so you can always explain it now." ”
Zhang Wuji also said anxiously: "Yes, sister, hurry up and tell me, why is this?" A pair of big eyes stared at the spirit sparrow, full of curiosity.
Lingqueer smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, I have lived in the valley for many years, and I know more about poisonous snakes than ordinary people." If you look closely, the little snake is small, but it has a dark body and a sharp head, and at first glance it is highly venomous, which is not comparable to ordinary snakes. Although its opponent is very strong and one of the five poisons, it seems that it is difficult to say whether the winner or loser compares to it.
"And then there's the merchant. Since he is engaged in such an activity, the purpose is to attract passers-by, so the possibility of the little snake winning has increased a lot, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the goal. Based on these two points alone, it is not difficult to judge. ”
Qiao Zhengyu nodded and said, "Well, Miss Wu has a clear mind, is logical, and the analysis is really in place." I couldn't help but have a good impression of the sparrow in my heart.
Lingque'er smiled slightly, and said shyly: "Brother Qiao has won the award, I just know more than you in this regard, it's nothing." ”
The more polite she was, the more moving her face became, and Qiao Zhengyu's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly avoided her eyes.
The two of them were polite, they both smiled knowingly, and continued to look towards the field.
"I said, this big brother, don't you have the intention to get along with me, causing me to lose money for no reason, what are your intentions? Hurry up, are you not a liar, you are here to cheat people's money. Wen Qingqing was angry, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, and pointed the finger at the merchants.
The merchant was suddenly a little embarrassed, smiled, and said: "This son, you blame me, the little one came from afar just to make a living, how dare you do that deceptive thing." And this matter is also obvious to all, the war between the two drugs is in the front, the son is gambling in the back, winning or losing is inevitable, how can I be blamed. ”
The merchant said a word that was reasonable, which attracted most of the people present to nod their heads in approval and express their approval.
Wen Qingqing was unforgiving, and said: "Hmph, I don't care, if you don't give me an explanation today, I won't let you go, you can do it yourself." ”
"This 。。。。。。 The merchant hesitated, a little at a loss.
"I said that this son, the so-called 'willing to gamble and lose', loses if he loses, and he can't afford to lose, not like a man. Someone in the crowd couldn't get used to it, and suddenly such a sentence popped up.
Wen Qingqing's face turned red suddenly, and she shouted at the man: "What do you have to do with you, no matter how long you dare to be verbose, believe it or not, I told you to walk around without eating." "I took a paper fan from behind my back and opened it slowly.
"Ahh
Zhang Wuji saw it clearly, and said strangely: "Brother Qiao, that person seems to have some scruples about Wen Qingqing, and I don't know why?"
Qiao Zhengyu said: "Wuji doesn't know, Wenjiabao's power is huge, and it is very famous in this area, and ordinary people don't dare to mess with it at all." And Wen Qingqing is from Wenjiabao, so as soon as that person saw the word 'Wen' on his fan, he knew Wen Qingqing's origin, so he didn't dare to make a sound. ”
Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "No wonder, no wonder this Wen Qingqing has a brutal and difficult temperament, but it turns out to be like this." ”
As a few people were talking, they heard the merchant say: "This son, you say that I am a liar, and I have nothing to say, why don't you and I gamble again, or let the facts prove my innocence?"
Wen Qingqing said: "Oh, how do you want to gamble, I am willing to accompany you." ”
The merchant paused for a moment and said, "In this case, let's still gamble on this little snake, but this time its opponent is not a centipede, but a little more." Seeing that Wen Qingqing was confused, he reached out and took out some things from the cloth bag next to him, followed by toads, scorpions, geckos, and spiders.
"With the centipede just now, these are the five poisons. Childe, how about you and I take the little snake alone to fight the five poisons as a gamble, until we can win or lose?"
Wen Qingqing said suspiciously: "This is a fun method, but with the power of the little snake alone, he will fight the five poisons alone, and no one will believe that he will win." If you choose the Five Poisons to win, won't I be sure to lose or win?"
The merchant smiled: "Don't worry, I will let Childe choose this gamble first, as for how you choose, I have no opinion." ”
There was a stir among the crowd.
"This person is really a bad brain, and he understands that people know at a glance who wins and who loses, so do you still need to choose. ”
"Yes, if I have no doubt about choosing the five poisons to win, only a fool will choose the little snake. ”
"Not necessarily, that little snake is flexible and poisonous, even if it is one against five, maybe it can barely support it. But when it comes to winning, hehe, I'm afraid I can't do it. ”
There was a lot of talk and a lot of talking.
Wen Qingqing hesitated for a moment, pointed at the five poisons and said, "Okay, I'm welcome, I'll choose the five poisons to win." If I lose again this time, then I will believe your word and let you go. ”
The merchant's face was happy, and he nodded: "It's best if Childe can say this, even so, then let's start." ”
Reaching out to pick up the little snake, he touched its head with his hand, and then placed it on the ground. Then he released the five poisons together and stepped back a few feet.
"Miss Wu, what do you think about this matter?" Qiao Zhengyu knew that Lingque'er was quick to think and had a unique solution to such a ridiculous gamble.
Lingque'er frowned slightly, and said, "It's hard to say, I don't know." However, the merchant seemed to have fed something in the little snake's mouth just now, but his movements were too fast, so I didn't see it clearly. ”
"Oh, what will he feed him?" Qiao Zhengyu said curiously.
Lingque'er hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be a pill to replenish physical strength." I heard my grandfather say that there is a kind of pill in this world that can increase strength in a short time, and since the merchant is so sure, he must have given this pill to the little snake. ”
Qiao Zhengyu wanted to ask again, but there was a sensation in the audience, and he couldn't help but look towards the audience.
I saw that the five poisons quickly surrounded and trapped the little snakes, and then each spread out their bodies and attacked it.
It was unfair for the little snake to fight five against one, and coupled with its thin appearance, it suffered a lot. Not to mention that the opponent is the five poisons, even if it is any of them, you will never be sure of winning. After only a few rounds, he was hit hard one after another, constantly retreating, and crumbling.
The five poisons also took advantage of the situation to pursue, launched offensives again and again, and after a while, forced the little snake into a narrow circle. Even so, the little snake refused to show weakness, relying on the advantage of his flexible body, not in a hurry, and calmly coping. But seeing that he dodged left and right, pounced forward and backward, bit up and down, and barely reached a tie with the five poisons.
Qiao Zhengyu looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said: "Although that little snake has not been defeated for a while, after all, his physical strength is limited, and he is facing the five poisons, I am afraid that after a long time, it will be difficult to persevere." ”
Lingque'er said: "Although Childe's analysis makes sense, don't forget that it took pills, I'm afraid it's too early to say that now." If you don't believe me, let's move on. ”
Zhang Wuji also said: "Master once said that in order to practice Jiuyang Divine Skill to the highest level, in addition to diligence, you also need some understanding. Well, this opportunity is rare, and it may be of great benefit to my practice. ”
"Wow!" I suddenly heard a stir in the crowd, and saw that the little snake's body suddenly jumped vertically, and it was actually out of the encirclement of the five poisons.
