Chapter 34: The Mirror Manifests
It was raining lightly in Qingzhou Mansion.
Nine Fingers returned home hungry and cold.
"Why did you lose again? It's so unlucky today......"
Nine Fingers is still a little lingering.
He went to the casino in the morning, thirty-eight copper coins, and in addition to the three wen spent on eating, there were thirty-five wen left.
He took all the thirty-five copper coins to the casino to gamble.
At first, I was lucky and won more than 100 yuan.
It's just that he was too greedy later, and he lost all the copper coins in three handfuls, and he didn't even have to eat at night, and he came back hungry in the rain.
"By the way, I still have the Treasure Mirror. Maybe the treasure mirror can also allow me to pick up copper coins or silver, so I don't have to worry about it tomorrow, and I can even go to turn it over!"
Thinking of the treasure mirror, Nine Fingers was refreshed.
So, he took out the mirror from the hay, and it was still the same as in the morning, the mirror had not changed, and it looked very beautiful.
Nine Fingers has a guess that this treasure mirror will only appear once a day.
So, we can only wait until tonight to see if the treasure mirror will appear?
So, Nine Fingers waited silently.
It's just that it's hard to endure withering, and Nine Fingers is hungry again, which is even more difficult.
He simply lay on the torn cotton wool, didn't think about anything, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a daze.
"Hoo ......"
I don't know when, a cold wind blew outside the house.
Nine Fingers was shaken, and he was woken up by the cold wind.
Nine Fingers looked at it in a daze, the room was pitch black, and I didn't know what time it was.
So, his hands searched the haystack.
Soon, he found the bronze mirror.
At this moment, this bronze mirror was actually emitting a faint light.
"The Treasure Mirror has appeared!"
Nine Fingers woke up all of a sudden, without a trace of sleepiness.
He held the bronze mirror tightly, and he knew very well that this treasure mirror might be his only chance to turn over.
"Treasure Mirror, Treasure Mirror, hurry up and manifest your spirit. Tell me, how can I get rich?"
Nine fingers whispered a prayer to the bronze mirror.
The light on the bronze mirror is faint, but it stands out in the dark.
With the prayer of the nine fingers, the mirror surface of the bronze mirror really began to change, and a trace of light slowly spread like the ripples of water.
Then, a picture gradually emerged on the mirror.
Seeing the picture in the mirror, Nine Fingers was very excited.
This is how a picture appeared in the treasure mirror yesterday, and then he saw a string of copper coins.
Will you be able to pick up copper coins or even silver again today?
The picture inside the mirror seems to be shaking, and it is constantly changing, as if someone is running around with a mirror.
Soon, a building appeared inside the mirror.
Seeing this building, Nine Fingers felt a little familiar.
"It's ......"
Nine-fingered eyes slowly widened.
When a big word "bet" appeared in the mirror screen, Nine Fingers immediately knew what this place was.
Casino!
This is the casino!
Although Nine Fingers is illiterate, he enters the casino every day and is deeply impressed by the word "gambling".
It was probably the only word he knew.
"This is the biggest casino in the city, called Changle Fang. But what does the mirror show for Changle Fang? Could it be that there are silver or copper coins falling outside Changle Fang?"
Nine Fingers continued to stare at the mirror.
It's just that the picture in the treasure mirror doesn't seem to change anymore.
In the picture, there is only the big word "gamble" in Changle Fang.
Soon, the light on the bronze mirror disappeared.
The house was plunged into darkness again.
But Nine Fingers turned his mind.
"The picture in the treasure mirror points to Changle Fang, to the casino. Could it be that Baojing asked me to gamble?"
Thinking of betting, Nine Fingers immediately became excited.
The treasure mirror is magical, a very peculiar treasure.
Since the last time he picked up a copper coin, Nine Fingers has believed in the treasure mirror.
Since Baojing asked him to go to Changle Fang to gamble, it must be good for him.
"It's just, I don't have a penny, how can I gamble?"
Nine Fingers fell into deep thought.
"Wait, I still have the deed. This is my ancestral home, although it is a little broken, but there is a mortgage of the deed, I will definitely be able to borrow a little silver from Changle Fang. ”
It's just that Nine Fingers is a little hesitant.
He's a bad gambler, yes, he sold everything in the house, and the only thing he didn't sell was this ancestral house.
He is also very clear.
If the ancestral house is still there, no matter how down-and-out he is, he will still have a place to settle down, and he will never be frozen to death on the streets. But if even the ancestral home is gone, he probably won't survive this winter.
"I have the treasure mirror to bless me, and if I bet, I will be sure to get nine out of ten. What's more, I can be cautious and look at the situation at first, and if the situation is not right, I will stop betting immediately. ”
Nine fingers gritted their teeth, and finally made a decision in their hearts.
In the second half of the night, nine fingers tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep all night.
finally waited until dawn, the nine fingers were dark under his eyes, and he glanced out the window.
The rain has stopped and the gambling house is open.
Thinking of this, Nine Fingers hid the treasure mirror and immediately got up and left the ancestral house.
Nine fingers came all the way to Changle Fang,
Located in one of the most luxurious areas in the city, many gamblers enter the casino even in the morning.
Nine Fingers is a regular customer of Changle Fang, and he came to the gambling house with a familiar car.
It's so lively inside.
Looking at the many gamblers on the table shouting with red eyes, Nine Fingers couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
He immediately came to the counter, took out the deed, and asked directly, "How much silver can I exchange for this deed?"
"Title deed?"
The people in the casino saw that it was nine fingers and immediately understood.
This rotten gambler is going to lose the ancestral house.
It's just that the casino is open, no matter who the other party is, as long as there is collateral, then you can borrow money.
"It's worth ten taels of silver. ”
It's actually pretty dark.
Although the ancestral house of Nine Fingers is a little broken, it is very spacious, and it is worth at least twenty taels.
However, Nine Fingers is now full of confidence, and he is not bargaining, nodding and saying, "Then bring me some silver, remember to take some copper coins." ”
Soon, ten taels of silver arrived, and there were some copper coins.
Nine fingers took out the silver, and only took out some copper coins and came to the gambling table.
His favorite thing is to bet on the big and small.
There have been nine big ones on the table, and many people have bet on the small.
However, the nine fingers weighed for a moment, although he believed in the treasure mirror, this was his ancestral house after all, and there could be no mistakes, and he was still very cautious.
So, Nine Fingers bet on the size of a penny.
As a result, the tenth is still big, and Nine Fingers won a penny.
Next, Nine Fingers tried a dozen more times.
Either a few bets in a row will be big, or a few in a row will be small, or a big and a small bet.
In short, no matter how much he bets, as long as he bets, he can win!
I have won more than a dozen in a row, and I have tried all kinds of betting methods.
At this moment, Nine Fingers was completely relieved.
He knew that it must be Baojing who was "blessing" him, making him gamble prosperously, invincible in the gambling house, and win big and win.
No matter what he bets, he must win in the end.
Thinking of this, Nine Fingers was no longer cautious.
He began to stake all the money he had.
As a result, there were no surprises, and ten taels of silver became twenty taels.
"Hahaha, Baojing really made me gamble on luck and win, I must win a big win!"
Nine-fingered's eyes were red.
He seems to be already dreaming of relying on the money he won from the casino to buy a house, marry a wife and take a concubine, and live a comfortable life for a lifetime.
