Chapter 48
"I promised you a long time ago that if you are in trouble, I will protect you no matter what."
Murong Fu sideways stared at Ximen Chuuxue, but Ximen Chuuxue only focused on the tea leaves wandering in the tea bowl.
It seemed that he had indeed heard Ximen Chuuxue say this, and he remembered that he was delighted by it at that time.
By the way, it seems that I still want to become life and death friends with him?
— But now, it seems like a lifetime away.
He couldn't remember his mood at that time, just like now he couldn't make any waves because of the same words.
There was an eerie silence in the room.
Downstairs outside the window is a noisy snack street with many performers.It was bustling and noisy from upstairs, but it didn't feel like a group of desperadoes.
Ximen Chuuxue put the teacup on the table, making a crisp crashing sound.
Because of Murong Fu's seemingly indifferent silence, his heart sank little by little, and now it has sunk to the bottom.
He didn't intend to stay any longer, so he grabbed his clothes and stood up, holding the sword steadily.
But fortunately, everything is not without a turnaround.
As soon as Ximen Chuuxue got up, someone blocked his way.
The man's face was flushed with excitement, he pushed the door in and leaned against the door frame, his eyes widened and he seemed a little dazed: "My God! I seem to have done something extraordinary!"
It was Cheng Chu who had just gone downstairs to the snack street to treat himself and the general with some delicious food.
This matter had to start when he left the inn door.
Because the snack street is very close, he didn't plan to go too far.After all, the general was still seriously injured, and the person who called himself Ximen Chuuxue always showed a strange feeling, so he was really not at ease.
But the variables in this world can always disrupt people's IQ.
For example, follow various food stalls farther and farther.
After walking for a long time, Cheng Chu came back to his senses, he seemed to have gone too far.
The way he came from just now has been blocked by signboards and flags scattered all over the place, and the numerous stalls along the street made him feel that they are similar everywhere.
But this thing is also common on the battlefield.
Suddenly came to a strange land, beat hard, beat too much, and then forgot where he came from, it's normal.
The treatment method is also very simple -
Go blind.
In fact, it is not difficult to find an inn or something, just ask passers-by.Unfortunately, he didn't even remember the name of the inn, but he only remembered that the nearest snack stand in front of the inn seemed to be selling buns.
His road signs are really different, and others don't remember any inn that sells steamed stuffed buns.
But seeing Cheng Chu's vicious appearance, passers-by were also afraid of offending the evil spirit, so they had to point out to him the locations of the few inns he knew, and let him explore by himself.
But groping also requires luck and time, and Cheng Chu's luck is by no means good.
Before he knew it, he had gone further and further away, the criss-crossing snack streets dazzled him, and he couldn't even find the direction he was in just now.
After bitterly drinking the last sip of Xishi bean curd in the bowl, Cheng Chu decided to go home because of fate.
After pulling a few passers-by to confirm the approximate possibility again, Cheng Chu resumed his long journey home.
Although there was nothing to eat along the way, he had already filled a lot in the snack street, and his stomach was so distended that he couldn't eat anymore.
It's just that without food, there is no motivation to move forward.He hadn't gone far before he felt distracted and had to glance around to divert his attention.
This glance made him see something interesting.
On the opposite side of the road not far from me, there is a shop full of people standing outside the door. There are quite a lot of people in this whole street, but it is inevitable to pay more attention to such a large number of people.
Fortunately, Cheng Chu was tall, and when he poked his head forward, he saw the word "gambling shop" blocked by other brands.
It turned out to be a casino!
For those in the army, the two most popular things in their spare time are wine and dice.And because these two things are contraband, you can only touch them when you are allowed to go home to rest, so the temptation is even greater.
Cheng Chu rubbed his chin. He had a high official position and rarely had the chance to take a vacation. Thinking about it, he hadn't gambled for a long time.Speaking of which, when the prohibition on gambling in the army was not so strict, he also played with his comrades a few times. Although he didn't understand it very well, the comrades seemed to think that he was very good.
So try it yourself, it should be fine.
He tossed the broken silver he had begged from Murong Fu in his hands, and walked towards the casino without hesitation.
In the gambling house, the clerk Xiao Liu is very busy. He will go to get some food and drink for this table, and he will go to another table to persuade the angry gamblers.
Hey, it's not easy to earn some money these days!
Xiao Liu wiped his sweat, and saw another big man came in at the door, this big man was wearing a red robe, although the style was different from that of the army, it looked a bit like a military uniform.
Could this be a deserter?To escape to gamble?
Xiao Liu curled his lips, thinking that this kind of person was nothing to deal with, but worried that he would provoke trouble, so he had to glance at him from the corner of his eye from time to time.
As soon as the big man entered the door, he leaned over to a table and looked at it. He seemed a little confused. After looking at one table after another, he seemed to have made up his mind. He took out some broken silver and slapped it on the table, ready to join the game.
There are many poor people and rich people coming and going in this gambling house.Therefore, his little silver did not attract anyone's attention.
It just so happened that the last game ended soon, and there was a new one.
The dealer collected the money from each family, issued replacement chips, and began to roll the dice.
The dice collided in the dice cup and made a heart-pounding sound. For a while, the bystanders booed with excitement, but only those who participated in the game looked nervous.
The big man was also nervous, he leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the dice cup, almost glued to it.
With a movement of the dealer's wrist, the dice cup fell violently, the hearts of the big man and several others jumped into their throats, and their eyes were wide open, staring at the dealer's slowly raised dice cup.
They played any bet in this game, that is, they bet on whether the number they bet would appear before the total "seven" points appeared.There are four dice, with a minimum of four points and a maximum of 24 points.The big man bets on eleven, and at the same table there are bets on nine, some on thirteen, and one on 21.
The more people play this random betting game, the faster the winners and losers will appear.But now there are only four of them at this table, and it is very likely that this round will be a bye, so although the few people are anxious, they are also ready to decide the winner after a few rounds.
The dealer raised his hand and took the dice cup away, and the four dice had landed on the table.Not only the people who participated, but even the onlookers who were standing next to them settled down with great interest, and then——
They were all surprised for a moment.
The four dice, the points are one, two, two, and six, which are exactly eleven o'clock.
The big man won in one game!
Although this kind of situation is rare, it is not extremely rare, so the people around were not too surprised, they just applauded him and said hello.Those who participated in the gambling game only cursed in a low voice or stomped their feet helplessly.
A game has been decided, so naturally they can't stop here, and several people took out their money and continued to gamble.
The big man didn't bet all the broken silver before, but now he won the money again, and his hands are still relatively ample, so he bet another round without hesitation.
This time he bet twenty.
Another person came to the same table, and now four people are betting with him.
It was another round of dice cup shaking, and with the winning bid of the last man, the atmosphere of this round was very good, and the onlookers cheered harder, and the dealer looked like he was watching the show.
After the dice cup was settled, another round of riddles was revealed.
Three, five, six, six.
Exactly twenty o'clock!The big man was hit again!
Now the atmosphere was a bit subtle, even the banker clicked his tongue, and the guys who watched the field nearby paid some attention to this table.
Xiao Liu, who had just finished serving food and drink to another table of guests, couldn't help but look this way.
There are many vicious people in their "drinking town", and most of the people who come to the gambling shop to gamble are not good people, but because of this, there are very few people who provoke trouble.
In order not to cause trouble and to be able to continue to operate for a long time, the gambling house will not play tricks, and the gamblers who come and go will not dare to use their brains.
So it's really rare to see such a lively event.
Is this guy really lucky?Or, come to seek death?
Everyone in the casino knows martial arts, Xiao Liu is naturally not just a simple guy, he also straightened the iron rod around his waist.
If he really wanted to die, he wouldn't mind breaking the man's leg.
Although the clerks in the store were carefully watching this table, just two rounds were not enough to attract the attention of gamblers at other tables.
In a fairly peaceful atmosphere, the third game started.
This time the big man bet seventeen points.
The dealer thought to himself: "Let's see if you can continue to be lucky this time." The dice cup in his hand continued, and another round was lost.
Two, three, six, six.
"Damn! I really saw a ghost!" The dealer's eyes widened, and the people beside him were even more uproarious.
This big guy actually hit it again!
This was not simply luck, as someone from the other table looked over, and the gamblers at the same table blushed in shock.
The spectators also greeted a few people and stared at the big man, obviously wanting to see if he was cheating.
But the big man looked very calm.
He is not worried about being pegged, nor does he seem to care much about winning three games in a row.
He has long been used to it.
It used to be like this when playing this thing in my hometown. Unless a seven was rolled, it would always be the number he bet on.
But his hometown is full of acquaintances, and it's not easy for him to win too much and embarrass the neighbors, so he just goes to the end.But there is nothing taboo here.
With a wave of his hand, the big man made another bet.
Sure enough, this round was the same as the previous rounds. The big man won another round, but the spectators looked at each other helplessly.
Although their martial arts are not excellent, their eyesight is definitely first-class. If they are really tricked, it is impossible for them not to see it!
Could it be that--
Is there really such a lucky person in this world? ! !
