Chapter 5 Wanting to Capture and Indulge
As Chinese New Year's Eve approached, there were not many big ships left on the waterway to Luojing, and the sailors and porters were temporarily empty, and they had a winter break of nearly a month, and they could not go into the water again until February of the following year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info and after a busy year, everyone will have a few expenses in their pockets.
The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and the bachelors who don't have a mother-in-law generally put the money to the old friends in the kiln, and a small number of people use it to buy drunk and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows.
Most of them are mixed in the gambling house, hoping to exchange high returns for limited gambling books, so they can immediately ascend to the sky and change their faces. But the reality is cruel, their meager income will be discounted with interest, and they will have to continue to live a miserable life next year......
Of course, there will be some gambling masters in the gambling houses, who have been mingling between the gambling houses in various states all the year round, and are really gamblers who rely on their 'hands' to earn cash. These people are also not insatiable, winning a certain amount of silver and disappearing for a while, and when they run out of money, they will change casinos and continue to make some extra money.
Because these people know how to be restrained and don't do much, they won't cause much harm to the casino, and they can also make those onlookers have a greedy desire in their hearts, so the casino generally turns a blind eye to it.
The person who Situ Lei is paying attention to now is watching the gambling in the place where he bets on the dice, and he is not in a hurry at this moment. The man's appearance was unremarkable, and his hooked nose was quite conspicuous. And with the height of the big thief, once he was thrown into the crowd, he couldn't find out where he was, and the gambling table was overcrowded, and his tracking was not discovered by the other party at all.
In just half an hour, the dealer actually opened two leopards in a row, and killed them one after another, and many bitter haha lost all their belts and left in a huff, making a lot of seats vacated by the gambling table gang.
At this time, the dealer shook the dice again, and the three dice rolled dozens of times in the sealed porcelain cup, and when they landed, they rolled again. This is a common tactic used by bookmakers to prevent gamblers who are very good at hearing.
Everyone bet on the size of the bet, and the hook nose made a decisive move, and the whole body of the belongings a total of two taels of silver were all pressed on the door of seven o'clock, because the gambling money really did not dare to compliment, let alone others, even the dealer did not pay attention.
When the dealer opened the porcelain cup, the hook nose smiled slightly, and Situ Lei didn't have to guess to know that he had succeeded......
"One, two, four, seven small!"
The dealer shouted, began to collect the gambling money as usual, and when it was the turn of seven o'clock, the dealer was stunned for a moment, and paid out six times the twelve taels of silver.
In the envious eyes of everyone, the hooked nose did not reach out to take the silver, but motioned to the dealer to continue shaking the dice. The dealer glanced behind him, and when he got the instructions, he continued to shake the dice.
"Buy and leave!"
Seeing the dealer leave the porcelain cup with both hands, the hook nose quickly moved all the fourteen taels of gambling money to the eighteen o'clock door, according to the rules of the casino, if the leopard can be bought, it will accompany the highest eighteen times, so even if it is ten taels of silver, once it is pressed, it is also a lot of income. Most people are still waiting, and only a few people who see the money are open to follow the pressure, which makes the dealer breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
In fact, the dealer's strength is quite good, but when he put down the porcelain cup and continued to turn the dice with skillful techniques, there was obviously an external force that interfered with the three dice, and even he didn't know what time it was at the moment. The dealer was beating a drum in his heart, it seems that he has encountered a hard stubble today, and he hopes to get through it safely......
"Open!"
The dealer's face was happy, and the shouting voice changed its taste: "Five, six, six, seventeen o'clock!"
Seeing the result, the hooked nose's face changed slightly, and when the dealer raised his head after collecting the money, the man had already disappeared into the crowd, and the dealer's heart was also put in his stomach......
As soon as the hooked nose left the gambling house, he turned around and entered the alley, and after turning around, he actually left Nanshi and turned to walk towards the Pingtou people's gathering area in the west of the city.
There are many small fishing villages scattered along the seashore in the outer sea of Xicheng, because this place is windy and rough, and the strange rocks are craggy, not suitable for mooring large ships, so there has been no wharf, but it has allowed the fishermen who eat the sea by the sea to have more ways to live.
At night, the fishing village is still quite lively, both men and women do not go to bed so early, some weave nets, and some hang the fish caught during the day on bamboo poles so that they can be dried and made into dried fish. The hooked nose seems to be walking aimlessly around the seashore, and there is no specific destination to go at all.
Suddenly, the hooked nose stopped again, and looked into the distance with bright eyes, and following his gaze, a rather iconic fisherwoman was weaving a net alone in front of the house, and her well-proportioned figure was wrapped under the coarse linen clothes, which had a unique flavor. The beast in the hooked nose's body unconsciously became restless, and his eyes showed a cruel light, making him look more like a monster than a human in the dark.
After a few breaths, he obviously calmed down, and said coldly with his hands behind his back: "After following you for so long, don't you plan to show up to meet you?"
Now that he had been noticed, Situ Lei walked out of the shadows, and the crooked moon bud happened to emerge from the clouds, and the faint light could not illuminate his entire body, and only half of the other party could be seen in the eagle's hooked nose's gaze.
Situ Lei was angry, and said angrily: "Lian Chu, I think that when we were adopted by the old man of the divine machine, we worshiped under the door of his old man, and the master did not favor one or the other, and the techniques of trace hiding that we learned were not equal." After we finished our studies, we could have been at ease and happy to take revenge! Why did you kill the master, why did you become like this now?"
"Why?"
Lian Chu said indifferently: "How can there be so many whys in the world? Lian Mou saw that the old man was not happy, so he killed him! Lao Tzu likes beautiful women, so he wants to sleep with them! Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Situ Lei took out the Feiyan claw from his arms, put on a posture and said: "Lian Chu, you are hopeless at all, Lao Tzu is going to clean up the portal today, let's take my life!"
The swallow claws outflanked from both sides along the strange arc, one after the other, and shot quickly towards the upper and lower roads of Lian Chu, causing a roaring and loud sound of breaking the air, but it seemed to alarm the fisherwoman in the distance, the woman heard the movement, quickly turned around and rushed to the house, and closed the wooden door with a 'bang', which made Situ Lei less troublesome.
Just as Situ Lei was slightly distracted, Lian Chu's body swayed left and right a few times, and he dodged the attack of the Flying Swallow Claw in an instant, and when the claws flew to the end, they changed their trajectory and bounced back, flying quickly towards his back.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, Situ Lei's vigilance showed a slight flaw, but Lian Chu moved! His back was like having eyes, and he actually felt the killing move carefully prepared by the other party, at this moment, his feet were connected to the ground, and he ran forward to exceed the speed of the flight of his claws, and he was about to approach Situ Lei within a few breaths, and he did not forget to laugh in his mouth: "Senior brother, you are pampered and habitual, you still want to be a hero in these few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu, don't know how to die!"
As soon as the last word came out, Lian Chu was already close in front of him, Situ Lei hurriedly protected him with the iron chain connected to the Flying Swallow Claw, who knew that the other party suddenly rose from the ground, dodging the Flying Swallow Claw at the same time, and even beat him, wanting Situ Lei to eat the evil consequences.
Because of the obstruction of his vision, it wasn't until the Feiyan claws were close to him that Situ Lei reacted, and the distance between zhang Xu became so short, just in the blink of an eye, his claws hit Situ Lei's chest closely.
The first few decades of kung fu of the big thief were not practiced in vain, and at the moment of life and death, his body's instinctive reaction saved his life.
I saw that his body was short, and he could avoid the bad luck of filling his chest with two claws, and before he could stand up straight, Lian Chu had already fallen quickly, and in Situ Lei's stunned gaze, he shot out like lightning, and at the forehead of the other party, the short body lay down softly.
In just a few moves, the victory and defeat have been divided, it seems that Lian Chu's kung fu is indeed a lot higher than that of his senior brother, although Situ Lei is still conscious, he is lying on his back on the beach like a dead dog, losing the strength to fight. He slowly closed his eyes, hoping that the other party would give him a good time. Unexpectedly, after fifty years of chaos, he had just found a lifelong partner, but he was going to die in this ghost place where birds don't, and he was very unwilling.
Unexpectedly, Lian Chu didn't make a move, he squatted down, stared at Situ Lei's old face, and said with a smile: "I haven't been able to see which point you are better than me, but now it seems that this is indeed the case! You are a piece of now, Lian Mou is not willing to dirty his hands! Live well, one day Lian Mou is interested, so I will visit your old friend! Hahaha......
With a burst of cold laughter, Lian Chu left the beach step by step......
Luo Jing is now panicked by the flower thief, I thought that the thief only liked the girl in the city, who knew that his claws actually stretched out to this poor country, at this time the fisherman woman panicked to tell her parents, then took the villagers to rush over, some of these people held a flat pole, some held a harpoon, and even more even held a pot, they took step by step, slowly rubbed to the place of the incident.
Unexpectedly, at a glance, the flower thief actually fainted on the beach, and the claws used to commit the crime were also lost not far away.
Seeing that the flower thief had been caught by the fishermen, Yang Mingsheng, the governor of the capital, was overjoyed, and it was rare to make a generous move. After rewarding the fishermen with ten taels of gold, he demanded that they keep their mouth shut. After sending this group of mud legs, Yang Mingsheng gathered a group of experienced head catchers to interrogate the prisoners overnight, and when the rooster crowed, a personal confession of the flower thief had been placed on the desk of Yang Xiaotian of the Moon Mansion.
