Chapter 95: The Gambling Contract
Chu Chen dismounted and followed Su Yao to the front of everyone.
"Cousin Xiaochen, if we are just hunting today, it will be too boring, why don't we gamble on some lottery?" Lu Zhijing smiled and stared at Chu Chen and said.
"What do you want to bet on?" Chu Chen smiled faintly and asked, these people really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they still think that they are the useless waste in their previous life.
"Why don't you do it. Hu Xuanyi said: "Today, if we have the least prey, how about losing 10,000 taels of silver?"
"Cousin Xuanyi, you're not joking, are you, where did you get so much silver?" Su Yao was slightly surprised, even if the family gave them silver flowers, it was impossible for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy to carry so much silver, not to mention, the eldest aunt's family was not the kind of famous family, how could she give Hu Xuanyi so much silver.
"Cousin Su Yao, it's only 10,000 taels, you won't worry that Cousin Xiaochen won't be able to take it out, right? Hu Xuanyi said, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"Xiao Chen, let's go back, they are clearly not here to hunt!" Su Yao was about to pull Chu Chen and turned back.
"Sister Su Yao, why are you still protecting Xiao Chen so much, he has grown up now, and he should let him have an idea about everything, otherwise you will have to make up your mind in everything, what else can you achieve in the future?" Seeing that Su Yao was going to take Chu Chen back, Chu Fei said.
"Sister, it's okay, don't worry. Before Chu Chen could comfort Su Yao, Qin Yanran next to her had already opened her mouth and said to Su Yao, and Zhao Ling'er also persuaded Su Yao not to worry.
"10,000 taels is too little, otherwise let's bet 100,000 taels, I don't know if you dare?" Chu Chen glanced at everyone and said indifferently.
"One hundred thousand taels?!" Hearing Chu Chen's words, some people were surprised, but more people wanted to laugh.
"I said cousin Xiaochen, you're not joking, are you?, can you take out 100,000 taels?!" Lu Zhijing sneered.
"I took the spring exam directly at Luojun Academy, the college rewarded me with 10,000 taels of silver, and the county guard rewarded me with 10,000 taels of silver, plus I haven't spent much money over the years, I have 60,000 taels of silver on me, and then I borrow 40,000 taels of silver from my sister, won't I have 100,000 taels of silver?" Chu Chen said nonsense for a while, in fact, he had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets on him.
"Since Xiaochen wants to bet so much, then the brothers will accompany you. Chu Fei agreed.
"But before gambling, we must first write clearly in black and white, so that some people will lose and not admit it. Chu Chen showed a rare smile and looked at the cousins and cousins in front of him.
"Why, don't you dare?" Seeing that everyone was a little hesitant, Chu Chen showed a hint of sneering and said with a look of surprise.
"Who doesn't dare, isn't it just 100,000 taels of silver, I don't know who loses and who wins!" Lu Zhijing said boldly.
"Write it, write it!, who is afraid of whom!" Hu Xuanyi also spoke.
Chu Chen asked people to take off the pen and paper from the carriage, and then he asked as he wrote: "Which of you wants to participate?" Okay, no matter how many people participate, there is only one winner, in an hour, whoever shoots the most prey will be the winner, and the participants cannot help others to hunt prey, if this kind of behavior is discovered, they should be punished with 200,000 taels of silver, and not a single prey can not be beaten, otherwise it will also be punished with 200,000 taels of silver!" And all this money belongs to the winner alone, well, when it is finished, you can sign it if there is no problem. ”
Chu Chen wrote hard, and after a while, he handed the written regulations to Chu Fei, Chu Fei snorted coldly, and wrote his name on it, and others also signed their names one after another.
"I'll give this regulation to Sister Su Yao for safekeeping, you have no opinion, right? Today, we also let Sister Su Yao be a witness here, so we won't be afraid of someone cheating. Chu Chen said.
"Cousin Xiaochen, if you can't beat a single prey, where will you get 200,000 taels of silver to lose?" Hu Xuanyi looked at Chu Chen and said with a sneer.
"Oh, how did I forget about this, no, everyone, can this rule be changed?" Chu Chen pretended to be shocked, looking like he was just impulsive just now, and now he looked regretful.
"It's already written in black and white, how can you still regret it?" Lu Zhijing said proudly, seeing Chu Chen's appearance, he was relieved, it turned out that Chu Chen was really a swollen face and a fat man just now.
"Xiao Chen, go ahead, it doesn't matter if you lose, isn't it just 200,000 taels of silver, and the rewards given to me in the family over the years are also 200,000 taels of silver!
"Thank you, sister, I'll do my best!" Chu Chen thanked Su Yao with a grateful expression, but his eyes winked at Su Yao, and suddenly, that feeling of gratitude disappeared.
After speaking, Chu Chen turned around and said to Chu Fei and them: "Since everyone agrees, let's start, sister, time it for us!"
Chu Chen and the others got on their horses, "Drive!" Chu Chen urged the horses to go, and everyone also rushed into the woods with a "driving", and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the people followed one after another.
"Do you think Xiao Chen can really win?" After Chu Chen and the others left, Su Yao asked Qin Yanran and Zhao Ling'er beside her worriedly.
"Sister, Brother Chu Chen is not something that Chu Fei's group can win, don't worry, we just need to give them a good calculation of the time. Qin Yanran covered her mouth and said with a smile.
Chu Chen rushed into the woods, didn't run far before he saw a wild goat, there was a hare not far away, both of them were very fat, Chu Chen pulled the bow and shot the arrow, the first arrow, shot the goat's eye, the arrow pierced from the other end, the second arrow, also shot the eye of the hare, the arrow pierced from the other end.
"I really didn't expect that there were a lot of wild beasts in this hunting ground. "Chu Chen came to this hunting ground once in his previous life, but he didn't come to hunt, but to see his father's generation hunting, during this period, Chu Fei and others also participated, only he and a few younger generations did not participate, but even if he did, it is estimated that the adults would not agree to him going up to make a fool of himself.
After shooting the hare and the wild sheep, Chu Chen rode away, and the prey he hit was naturally picked up by someone behind, and he was only responsible for shooting it.
didn't run far, Chu Chen found out again, in his sight, Chu Chen had two wild deer, just two together, Chu Chen shot an arrow, the arrow turned into an afterimage and hit the second deer, the arrow passed through the neck of the first wild deer and shot into the neck of the second wild deer, and suddenly, the two deer fell to the ground and twitched on the ground......
