Chapter Eighty-Five: Twin Pupils to Guess the Dice in the Jar
After the mother-in-law's words fell, Shen Su's face returned to normal, and he looked at me with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth. I silently pressed the clanging sword of color. The maid gave me and him a faint look, then turned back and slammed the door of the chamber in front of her.
With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open, and the mother-in-law's eyes glanced at her again, "Two, come in." ”
The furnishings in the wing room are very simple, with a white screen and a large round table covered with white silk cloth. The white candle flickered and reflected the figure on the screen, and soon the figure walked out from behind the screen.
I saw that the man was dressed in a white robe and a white hat. The white cloth on the hat hangs down to hide its face tightly, making it impossible to see through its gender and appearance, in short, it is very mysterious.
Judging by his figure, he must have been a man, I secretly speculated. The man walked over to the white cloth round table and stood still, and the envoy said to him in a respectful tone, "Your Excellency, it is this girl who wants to make a bet with you." ”
The messenger was silent, only to see the white hat float up and down. After the envoy understood, she called for someone to come. The people outside the wing room had already prepared, and came with wooden pallets and several jars.
"The envoy has always been disliked to open his mouth, and if the girl has any objections, she will speak to the old man. The envoy took the two jars from them and placed them on the round table with a "bang", and then said, "This month is twelve, and the gods have made a rule, and the way the messenger wants to play with the girl is 'guessing the dice in the jar'." ”
I looked at the two jars on the round table puzzled, "What is the guess dice in the jar?"
"Guessing the dice in the jar is the girl's bet on which jar the dice will be put into. There are two pots in the first round, and if the girl wins the bet, she can move on to the next round, and if she loses, she has to pay a silver ingot and leave. A jar is added to each round thereafter. If the girl wins nine times in a row and reaches the final round, she will face eleven pots. If she wins this round, the girl will be able to take all the offerings of the December God of Gamblers. But if she loses, the December God of Gambling will ask the girl for something. ”
She put a dice between the two jars, looked at me steadily, and said, "Before the tenth round, the girl can give up at any time, and of course she will get nothing." Girl, are you ready?"
The envoy has spoken very clearly.
A "palm sword" appeared on the offering table of the December God of Gamblers. I can't be sure if the sword is the palm sword in Hu Xiao's second-hand hand, and I don't know if Hu Xiaoer really came to Daluo Temple to gamble.
Now, in December, all the offerings of the God of Gamblers have been put away by them. If you want to see it clearly, you must first get the "palm sword" in your hands, and Hu Xiaoer values the "palm sword" so much, he definitely can't bear to let it flow here......
"Xiao Ye'er, Xiao Ye'er, people are asking you!"
Someone next to me touched my elbow, and his tone was full of pleasure. I avoided a step, solemnly raised my head and said to the envoy, "You can start." ”
The woman bowed her head and made a "please" gesture to the messenger who did not move at all.
In an instant, the messenger picked up the dice on the table and put them into a jar, pressed against the round table, and changed their positions back and forth with great speed. The dice hit the wall of the jar and made a "rustling" sound, and there was a shaking shadow on the round table, and ordinary people could not see which jar the dice were put into with the naked eye.
With a "bang", the two jars stood firmly on the round table, and the rustle sounded suddenly. The messenger's ten fingers fell lightly on the round table, and he stood motionless again.
The maid asked me, "In which jar did the girl put the dice in?"
I withdrew my gaze from staring at the round table, looked up and spoke without hesitation, "The jar on the left." ”
"Are you sure?" asked me again.
"I'm sure. ”
The old hand opened the jar on the left, and sure enough, the dice were inside.
"Congratulations to the girl for making it to the next round, and if you don't give up, our game will continue. The woman's tone was not at all wavering.
I said "um".
A third jar was added to the round table, and the messenger's hands moved quickly. With one more jar, his hand speed didn't slow down at all.
There was another "bang", and the three jars gradually became clear in the shadow. Before the envoy could ask me, I pointed to one of them and said, "The dice are in this jar." ”
So that the woman opened, and it was so.
"Win two in a row, it turns out that Xiao Ye'er is deeply hidden, amazing!" Shen Sumaung smiled while stroking his palms.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she looked at me, but she still asked me in a calm tone, "Can the girl continue?"
"Go on. I nodded vigorously at her.
Bang –
In the third round, four jars fell on the round table.
I pointed to the last jar and said, "The dice are in here." ”
So that the woman opens, and the dice are placed safely there.
......
In the fourth round, five jars fell on the round table.
"The dice are in the fourth jar. ”
......
Round 5......
......
I won seven bets in a row.
After seven handfuls, the tone of my mother-in-law's conversation with me has softened a lot. Eight jars were placed in front of the round table, and she spoke again: "Rong Lao Shen has one more mouth, the girl has reached the eighth round of play." The closer the game is to the end, the greater the risk. If the girl gives up now, she may take the seven ingots she had won. Can the girl continue?"
He made her dark eyes fall on me. I rubbed my temples, and my eyes felt sore.
"Go ahead. I said.
There was a "rustle" sound.
We stared at the shadow on the round table with our eyes wide open.
Shen Sumaung lowered his head and whispered in my ear: "Xiao Ye'er has won seven times in a row, how can it only rely on luck." Could it be that he has a pair of different eyes and can see through everything?"
The colorful sword in his hand made an "hmm" sound, as if to warn him not to get so close.
Shen Sumung sneered and straightened his back. I ignored him and stared intently at the hands.
To be honest, it wasn't luck to win seven times in a row. What do I rely on...... A pair of eyes, indeed.
Once upon a time in Moshang Villa, the master taught us a few sword practices, and one of the tricks was "the sword pierced the red leaves". In order to train our hand speed and eyesight, he mixed a red leaf into a crowd of yellow leaves, and then threw it into the air. When landing, the tip of the sword must penetrate the heart of the red leaf without damaging any of the yellow leaves. Each time you practice this move, the number of yellow leaves increases. In this way, the master made it more difficult to "pierce the red leaves with a sword".
This trick is naturally the best learned by the senior brother. The little junior brother has never liked to practice martial arts, and when the sword falls, the sword is full of yellow leaves. And I can practice quite well, I can often get to the fifth and sixth rounds, and the so-called eyesight has also been trained by the master a little. But it's not the pinnacle.
When the book is used, it is less hated!
I played the seventh round before, but I actually couldn't watch it.
I have to say that this messenger's hands are so powerful, and the seven jars are dangled back and forth by him as if they have been combined into one. I only heard the rustling sound in the shadow, but it was difficult to tell which jar the dice were in.
The third one I mentioned just now is actually really gambling.
With a bang, eight jars landed steadily on the round table.
The envoy spoke, "Guess, girl." ”
I closed my aching eyes, and a fine sweat began to form on my forehead. My eyes fell on the eight identical jars, and this time I hesitated.
On the side of the round table is a row of slender fingers. The messenger, who had never said a word from beginning to end, landed his hand on the table and tapped lightly.
The hands...... I stared at it for a moment and became in a trance, the same hand that had just shaken the eight jars back and forth......
In which jar?
I had in my mind the details of the messenger's swift shaking of the jar, and I watched one of his fingers fall on the table and rise again, fall and rise, and rise, and ......
"Girl," said the envoy again, "the hour has come, and the girl has an answer?"
"Xiao Ye'er, why are you so serious? This is only the eighth time, if you lose the bet, it's not a big deal. ”
"Girl, girl?"
The voices in his ears came and went, and the messenger's fingers fell, and he still stood there.
I looked up and looked at the maid's face, and my cheeks were a little hot.
"The eighth jar. ”
The tone was obviously not as confident as Fang Cai's.
That hand lifted the eighth jar at once, and my pupils dilated instantly.
"Eh, Xiao Ye'er......" Shen Sumaung dragged a long tail note and sighed.
"Congratulations girl, you are in the ninth round. ”
The attendant put down a jar and brought it to the round table.
Ten jars, one dice.
The messenger stood silently at the table.
