Fifty thousand taels, not fifty taels, not five hundred taels. For ordinary people, 50,000 taels is an out-and-out huge amount of money, and some people may not see so much money in their lifetime.

So Yu Xiaoyao didn't take Wu Datou's words seriously.

Wu Datou seemed to see Yu Xiaoyao's distrust, and he said, "Do you think I'm bragging?"

Yu Xiaoyao said, "If you can get 50,000 taels casually, then how can you almost lose a hand today?"

Wu Datou said proudly, "This is wrong, I owe five hundred taels, this is true, but do you think anyone can owe five hundred taels to Huangsha Gambling House?"

Yu Xiaoyao's heart moved slightly, he knew the rules in the gambling house, you can owe money to the gambling house, provided that the gambling house knows that you can afford to pay back the money, generally speaking, if you take five hundred taels to gamble, the gambling house allows you to owe a maximum of fifty taels of debt, and if you owe more, unless you pay off the debt first, or you will be invited out.

Since Wu Datou can owe a debt of 500 taels, it means that he has lost at least 5,000 taels.

If he can lose 5,000 taels at a time, he should also be able to raise these 50,000 taels.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoyao asked, "Do you have a way to raise so much money?"

Wu Datou smiled and said, "Benefactor, you must know that in Huangsha Town, as long as you are willing to give up your face, making money is a simple thing." ”

"Oh?" Yu Xiaoyao became interested, "Then what can you do?"

"It doesn't work. Wu Datou said, "You wait here, and I'll come when I go." ”

He walked to the door, stepped back, and pulled out a bottle of wine from under the plank that could barely be called a bed, "It's cold at night, you drink some wine to warm up, and I'll be back soon." ”

The night in the desert is indeed very cold, and there is nothing in Wu Datou's room that can be used to keep out the cold, so this bottle of wine appeared just right.

Yu Xiaoyao uncorked the bottle, and a rich smell of wine came to his nose, this wine is not fragrant, it tastes a little like vinegar, but at least it is very strong!

Yu Xiaoyao only took a sip before he felt a fire flow from his throat into his stomach, burning in his stomach, and he felt less cold in an instant.

After drinking about three or four sips of wine, Wu Datou came back from outside, although it was very cold outside, his head was steaming, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, as if he had just returned from a very warm place.

He took out a package of oilcloth from his bosom, and the moment the package was unfolded, a strange, fragrant fragrance that could hook out the gluttonous worms in people's stomachs wafted out.

"Dog meat, hot, eat it hot. Wu Datou looked very excited, and without waiting for Yu to speak, he first tore off a piece of meat from the roasted golden piece of meat in the package and threw it into his mouth.

Yu Xiaoyao also ate a piece of meat like him, and suddenly felt that the warmth in this dilapidated small board house was like spring in the south of the Yangtze River, so the cold night in the desert was not so cold and unbearable.

"Did you go out and buy this?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.

Wu Datou smiled and said, "Of course not, of course I went out to inquire about the way to get money, and this is just a casual one." ”

He laughed happily, like a weasel who had just stolen a big fat hen.

"What's the way to get the money?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.

Wu Datou said, "I can't tell you this. ”

"Why can't you say that?" said Yu Yaoqi.

Wu Datou said righteously, "Because if I say it, you may not want this money." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said, "If you don't say it, then how do I know if I can ask for this money?"

Wu Datou seemed to be very embarrassed, sat there and thought for a long time before saying, "Okay, then I'll tell you the truth." ”

"In fact, in the vicinity of Huangsha Town, there are many treasures, large and small, these treasures are either buried by bandits, or by passing merchants hidden here in case of emergency, but you also know that the desert is very dangerous, whether it is a bandit or a trader, it is likely that they will never return, and the treasures they left behind will become ownerless things. ”

"Wouldn't that be cheaper for others?" said Yu Yaoyao.

Wu Datou nodded and said, "That's right, so there are many people in Huangsha Town who take treasure hunting as a business, but whether it is a bandit or a trader, they will inevitably do some precautionary measures when hiding treasures, so firstly, the treasure is difficult to find, and secondly, even if the treasure is found, they will often die under those defensive means." ”

"So. Wu Datou took out two more pieces of parchment from his bosom and said, "Some people start to sell this kind of treasure map, at least, if you follow this map to find it, you can save a lot of things." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said, "Since they have a treasure map, why don't they go to the treasure hunt themselves?"

"You don't know this," Wu Datou said, "First, as I said just now, treasure hunting is a business by pinning your head to your waist, and not everyone dares to do it." Second, most of these treasure maps are repetitive, which means that it is very likely that you have worked so hard to find a place, but the treasure has already been taken by someone else, and this kind of thing is not uncommon. ”

Yu Xiaoyao said, "So, these two treasure maps may also be two pieces of waste paper?"

Wu Datou smiled proudly, "That's not what I said, I have these two pictures, but I exchanged two new pictures for a big favor, as long as you can find one of the treasures, your fifty thousand taels will be gone." ”

Although treasure hunting is not an unsightly thing, it is best to do it in a place where there is no one, so as not to be seen by others and have bad intentions. After all, the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.

So Yu Xiaoyao and Wu Datou left Huangsha Town at night, and the two of them rode a camel that Wu Datou didn't know where to get it, chatting with each other and sharing the pot of fiery burning knife wine.

Wu Datou was going to go by himself, but Yu Xiaoyao thought this matter was very interesting, so he followed.

The moonlight is cold, the desert under the moonlight is like a silver ocean, even if you drink the burning knife wine, the cold wind is still desperately pouring into the collar, although this feeling is very uncomfortable, but it is also very novel.

This new and exciting feeling is one of the reasons why Jade Xiaoyao likes to be adventurous.

He was rocking on the camel, and suddenly remembered that on a spring day not long ago, Lu Qiaoer accompanied him to go boating on the West Lake, the lake was drizzling, and the wind carried the sweet smell of apricot blossoms.

One is the apricot blossom spring rain Jiangnan.

One is the silver moon and yellow sand desert.

One gentle, the other rugged. One is laid-back and laid-back, the other is novel and exciting.

Isn't this very much like his life, isn't this also the free and happy life he is pursuing!

Although he was penniless and in a foreign place, he was very happy now, and he wanted to sing loudly.

But he didn't sing it, because Wu Datou suddenly reined in the camel and pointed to a fallen poplar tree in front of him.

"This is it. He said.
