Nangong Yu has no interest in leaving the valley, no matter how good the lanterns in Jinan Mansion are, they can't be better than the capital, he has seen too much of this kind of excitement, and said: "The disciple won't go, stay and accompany the master, and the practice can't be delayed." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Shen Jun said anxiously: "If you don't go, Senior Brother won't go, I'll go to Jinan Mansion alone, let's go together" Yao Guangzi also said: "Practicing is a lifelong thing, it's not bad day or night, go have a good time, and after you come back, there will be hard work to do." Nangong Yu had no choice but to nod in agreement. That night, the three of them simply packed their bags and went to bed early.
The next day, the three of them bid farewell to Yao Guangzi and set off for Jinan Mansion. There are still four days before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the three of them are not in a hurry to travel, traveling all the way, talking and laughing. After going out of the valley along the official road, spend the night in the village next to the road, two days later arrived at the southern suburbs of Jinan Lishan, they went into the mountain to visit, the scenery is beautiful, the Buddha caves and ancient temples are numerous, under the cover of snow it is more solemn and solemn, that night in the mountain temple, arrived at Jinan at noon the next day.
The New Year has passed, it is the time to visit relatives and friends, the city is lively, the people are wearing new clothes, smiling, shuttling through the streets and alleys, accumulating a year's money for a good year. Most of the shops were still open, and the inn business was deserted, and the inn where they stayed was only a group of customers. After eating lunch and resting for an hour, Nangong Yu was taking a nap when he heard someone knocking on the door, opened the door and saw that it was Shen Jun, and said, "Is there something wrong with the second senior brother?" Shen Jun smiled and said: "How about we go to the gambling house?" Nangong Yu said: "It's not dark yet, I want to ask you to go to the shore of Daming Lake." Shen Jun snorted and said: "What's so fun by the lake, senior brother is tired and doesn't want to go out, you accompany me to have fun." Nangong Yu sighed and had no choice but to agree.
The two of them left the inn, Shen Jun felt the road of the gambling house clearly, took Nangong Yu into the alley, and walked into a gambling house. Even if the Chinese New Year does not affect the business of the non-gambling house, the real gambler does not pick the day to gamble. Nangong Yu smelled a familiar smell mixed with copper coins and sweat again, and even the strongest cigarette couldn't cover it.
Shen Jun suddenly became energetic, his eyes sparkled, he looked at this table, looked at that table, and after turning around, he sat down at the table playing dice, and said, "Let's play and compare the size." Nangong Yu sat down beside him and said, "I'll watch you play." "It's a three-person table, everyone has three dice in front of them, and the one with the lowest roll loses money to the one with the highest number, and the one in the middle doesn't lose or win.
Shen Jun took out all the money, a total of eight taels of silver, and won half a lot of money after playing three games. Nangong Yu carefully observed the gambling game and made sure that the dice had not moved their hands and feet, and the other two people's methods were also very ordinary, so he put his mind at ease and saw that there was a tea house on the wall, so he said: "The second senior brother is playing first, and the younger brother is thirsty, so he will go to ask for a bowl of tea to eat." Shen Junzheng gambled, "uh-huh" twice. Nangong Yu came to the teahouse and sat down, ordered a pot of Biluochun, and poured himself a drink. He was the only one in the teahouse, and he felt a little bored, and only hoped that Shen Jun would finish his gambling soon, so that they could visit Daming Lake together.
An hour passed, and he couldn't wait a little, and wanted to say hello to Shen Jun and leave first. When I looked up, I saw that there were many people around Shen Jun's table, and I felt bad in my heart, so I went in to take a look, and saw Shen Jun sweating profusely, nervously weighing the dice in his hand. The gamblers on the opposite side were all changed, one tall and thin, and the other with a pockmarked face, all looking at Shen Jun with a smile. Shen Jun rolled the dice, four, four, five, thirteen points, which was not small, and he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The tall and thin man had already thrown four, five, or six in advance, as long as the numb face threw smaller than Shen Jun, he didn't have to lose money.
The pock-faced man held the dice and blew out, shook it back and forth in his hand, and suddenly threw it out, shouting "Hold!" The last dice stopped dripping, and it was actually five, five or six big points. Shen Jun's face was pale and ugly, leaning back in his chair, unable to speak. The pock-faced man smiled and took away the copper coins on the table, and said, "Little brother, are you still playing? If you don't play, you can exchange the ten taels of silver on credit." ”
Nangong Yu was secretly surprised, he didn't expect Shen Jun to play so big, not only did he lose all the eight taels of silver, but he also owed ten taels, so he wanted to take him away after paying back the money. Who knew that Shen Junyi gritted his teeth and said, "Play! Lend me another five taels of silver to turn the book." The pock-faced man laughed and said, "Okay! After speaking, he took three pieces of money and two taels of broken silver from the table and pushed them to Shen Jun. Nangong Yu frowned, so she had to wait and see what happened.
After a while, Shen Jun lost all the money again, and Nangong Yu also saw that the tall and thin people with a numb face were all people from the casino, and they partnered with the new sheep. The tall and thin man smiled: "Little brother, let's clear the accounts first, if it's not enough, it's okay to have valuable things on your body, and there is a pawnshop next door." Shen Jun held his breath for a long time, and was just about to take credit again, Nangong Yu hurriedly said, "I'll pay it back for him." As he spoke, he took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and put it on the table, saying, "Find money." Shen Jun hurriedly said: "How can I let you repay the debt for me, I can win it back." Nangong Yu said in a low voice: "Second Senior Brother is not lucky, let's come back another day." The thin and tall and numb face saw the silver ticket, and then they knew that Nangong Yu was the gold master. The pock-faced man smiled and said, "This little brother has so much gambling money, doesn't he want to play with both hands?" Nangong Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and said, "No, please change the money." Ma Mian and Slender Gao glanced at each other, Ma Mian got up and walked out, and after a while, he took back eight small silver tickets of ten taels, as well as five pieces of money, and gave them to Nangong Yu, and put away the silver tickets on the table.
Nangong Yu pulled Shen Jun and said, "Let's go." Shen Jun sighed, got up and just took two steps, and the pock-faced man said: "If you can't afford to play, don't go into the gambling house, don't dare to play a few tricks with so much money, are you still a gentleman?" Nangong Yu knew that he was provoking himself to gamble, so he sneered and didn't talk. Shen Jun was already in a bad mood after losing money, so he turned around and said angrily: "Didn't you win a few handfuls of money, what are you talking about?" The tall and thin man snorted and said, "I'm annoyed and angry when I lose some money, I can't afford to lose?" Shen Jun said: "Fart, who can't afford to lose." The tall and thin man sneered: "Who can't afford to lose, he knows in his heart, he doesn't weigh your broken skills, and you dare to play with one or two silver each, I really don't know how thick the sky is." Shen Jun said angrily: "Your uncle!" Saying that, he had the intention of making a move, Nangong Yu hurriedly pulled him and said, "Don't forget that the master won't let you cause trouble." Shen Jun suppressed his anger and nodded. The pock-faced man said impatiently: "Go fast, don't stand and be an eyesore, you don't dare to play, others dare to play." ”
