Chapter 39: The Casino
Go to bed early and get up early to nourish your body. The game was cool for a while, and the hemorrhoids kept growing.
The people of Fenghe Town are simple and far away from martial arts disputes, which is also the reason why Chu Fengxing put his children here.
"Auntie, fetch water, I'll help you. Wu Kangshuo came to a well, and the woman of the Wang family next door was holding a bucket in one hand and a month-old baby in the other.
"Kang Shuo, thank you, every day at this time of day I will always help to fetch water here, the young and strong people in the village have gone out to work, our group of orphans and widows... Thank you for having you!" the woman said gratefully.
"Where, I'm going to fetch water anyway, just to help. Wu Kangshuo was praised and touched his head embarrassedly.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm back, thank you. I'll mention the water, this time it's a bumper harvest in the sea, you see!" The man took out ten taels of silver from the white flowers, and couldn't hide his excitement about making money.
"By the way, Kangshuo, I see that you are young and strong, why don't you go fishing with me. It's very profitable. The broken silver moved up and down in the man's hand, making a grinning sound.
"I'll ask my aunt first, and if she agrees, I'm fine. "Wu Kangshuo has never seen the sea, and he has always heard people say that the sea is wide and boundless, and it is a blue ocean, and he is very yearning for it.
However, since Wu Fuwang, who is Wu Kangshuo's brother, married his daughter-in-law, Wu Changfa is also his father, waiting to take care of his old age. Finally, I had nothing to do, and I liked gambling when I was idle.
The five taels of silver that Chu Fengxing gave to Wu Kangshuo every month were taken by Wu Changfa to gamble, Wu Fuwang didn't want to care about it, and disliked Wu Changfa. Only the stupid Wu Kangshuo has been holding on to this shattered home.
"What do you think, young people don't go out again, and when they get old, it's too late to regret it!" The man happily took his wife and children home.
Wu Kangshuo has always wanted to go out and have a look, but now that his grandmother is old and her legs are not very convenient, he has never said anything and stayed to take care of the elderly.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Wu Kangshuo went home, the house was in a mess, and Kang's mother sat groggily on a bamboo bench.
"Shuo'er, my mother can't help you, your wife Ben was taken to gamble by the murderer that day, my mother can't stop him, I'm sorry!" Wu Kangshuo helped his mother to the edge of the bed.
"Mother, how can I blame you, you can make it again when the money is gone, and the most important thing is that you are okay. Wu Kangshuo cleaned up the house.
"Mother, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you!" Wu Kangshuo was afraid that his mother would be in a bad mood, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
"Hey, my own is not as filial as your foster one, Wu Fuwang doesn't want me, fortunately I have your Shuo'er, your unpromising daddy, it really me off. Kang Niang was really in tears.
"Mother, I will persuade my father, I believe that my father will understand my mother's hard work, right. Mother, I want to go to sea. Wu Kangshuo mentioned it casually.
"It's okay, it's hard for you, it's time to go out and see the world. I think Eun Gong also wants you to get ahead. Kang Niang patted Shuo'er on the shoulder.
"Great, mother, you agreed, mother, you have a good rest today, I'll go buy vegetables and cook!" Wu Kangshuo jumped all the way, happier than the champion.
The people in the silver hook gambling house in Fenghe Town were noisy, and there was a miasma of smoke inside. A wizened old man squeezed through the crowd and came to the table.
"Yo, old man Wu, I'm gambling again, I almost lost all my pants last time, and I'm not afraid to lose all your wife and children!"
"You can manage it, I have money! This time I want to win it back at one time with interest!" The old man took out a silver ticket from his waist and slapped it on the table.
"Yo, one hundred taels, isn't it your Wu Kangshuo's wife!" a man said casually, and Wu Changfa was silent.
"You can manage it, you are a gambling hall, and you don't gamble for money!" Wu Changfa gambled on his brain, bent on winning.
"Okay, if you have money, you will gamble with you. The two of them exchanged glances in the gambling house, this Wu Changfa kindly sent money, how could they refuse.
"Come on, buy big, buy small, bet quickly. A million profits, a million profits!" shouted the gambler at the table.
"Help me exchange it for broken silver!" Wu Changfa slapped the table, and the money spoke loudly.
"Come, a hundred taels of silver, a little bit!" the owner of the gambling hall inspected the silver ticket and threw him a bag of silver.
"One tael, two taels...!" Wu Changfa really counted it, counted it twice, and it was one hundred taels.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'll bet big!" Wu Changfa slapped five taels of silver on the table with a bang.
"Buy and leave, no one else buys, come on, come on. Big, one to accompany three!" Wu Changfa was hit, and hurriedly put away fifteen taels of silver, but he always lost money in the past, and he suspected that the gambling official was out of a thousand, so he paid special attention to the actions in the gambler's hands.
"Come again, come again. Bet big and bet small. A million profits, make a fortune today!" The gambler shouted, and everyone placed bets one after another.
"I'll bet small, ten taels!"
"Come on, let's go! Small, one with three!" Wu Changfa was in high spirits, and excitedly accepted thirty taels.
"Come, buy a single and buy a double!" Wu Changfa played a single and double, betting ten taels and paying the bill.
"Buy and leave, let's go. Double!" When the gambling officer picked a white seed with a stick, he threw a white seed from under his fingers, which happened to be seen by Wu Changfa.
"Wait, just now, I saw a white child falling from your hand, you are out of a thousand!" Wu Changfa said directly in his heart.
"Which eye do you see? I've been working in the casino for more than ten years, and I've always been honest, I'm afraid you won't admit it if you lose money!" The gambling officer grabbed Wu Changfa by the collar.
It's not that Wu Changfa doesn't admit it, the amount of ten taels of silver is not small, if he really loses, he has nothing to say, and now it is clear that the other party is out of a thousand.
"You're out of the thousand, I've seen it all, you have a white child sewn on your right finger. Wu Changfa grabbed his right hand, and sure enough, a few white seeds fell out.
"What else do you have to say, you want to cheat me out of my money, you are still tender, boy!" Wu Changfa put away the money and walked to the next table.
"It's no wonder that I've been losing money lately, and I haven't won once. It turned out that this gambler was out of a thousand. Boss, I want to return the money, stop gambling. Everyone coaxed, feeling that they had been deceived when they lost money, and asked for a refund of the money and not gambling.
"Everyone, please don't be impatient, this gambling official's thousands of dollars is a personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with this gambling house. I invite everyone to have a cup of tea, the silver hook gambling house is not bullied, and someone came to chop off the gambling official's hand. The boss's viciousness made everyone's hearts furious.
"Ahh
"I'm packing tickets, there will never be a thousand more things, everyone rest assured to bet. A million profits!" The boss smiled and showed two gold teeth.
"Is there anyone else who isn't satisfied?" asked the boss, and everyone shook their heads.
"Come on, pai gow bet on one hand, and there will be gold and silver mountains soon!" Wu Changfa took advantage of the victory to pursue, and bought two cards for twenty taels of silver.
I saw that the gambler shuffled the cards quickly, his hands and feet were very neat, and in a blink of an eye, thirty-two dominoes were piled up into a square, and the two hands were whole again, turning into a long row.
Wu Changfa nervously held the pair of cards, and opened them lightly with both hands, which was actually the ace of the earth.
Everyone shook their heads, just as Wu Changfa was about to collect the money.
"Wait, Supreme Treasure, I'm sorry to kill you. "The gambling officer is the dealer, the largest in line, and he kills all.
"How is it possible, it must be you who have done it, why can you get the Supreme Treasure by sitting in the bank, how can there be such a coincidence!" Wu Changfa didn't believe it, grabbed the gambler's hand again, and a few dominoes fell from his sleeves.
"Okay, you're also out of a thousand, I think your casino is a scam!" The boss's face was pale, this Wu Changfa is here to smash the field.
The boss made a gesture of wiping his neck towards his subordinates, and everyone coaxed one after another when they saw this, picked up the money on the table and ran, and the whole casino was in chaos.
Wu Changfa also took the opportunity to take some money and ran away in the chaos, but was stopped by the two.
"You kid, let's tear it down. I can't get along with our Silver Hook Casino, and it seems that I'm tired of it. ”
Wu Changfa smiled and apologized, and two ingots of silver were secretly stuffed into the hands of the two.
"Big brother, take it for a drink! I'm in for a treat, hard work, hard work!" Wu Changfa hurriedly fled and was caught by the two.
"Well, take it out, it's only twenty taels, it's like sending my two brothers, I want them all!" Wu Changfa hugged the bag of silver.
"It seems that you want money and don't want to die, call me!" The two beat Wu Changfa severely, and then took the silver from his arms.
