"Hi! Durexi." A voice sounded in Wu Chen's ears.
"It's me." The man named Durexi asked, "I remember you, what are you doing here?"
"Wherever there is a market I will be there," the voice answered.
"You can take a good look at my selection of winning numbers." The man named Durexi quietly lowered his voice.
"Today is your lucky day, my friend." The voice seemed to have something to say.
"Give me two numbers 90 and 5." The man named Durexi seemed to be buying lottery tickets from him?
"Six thousand lire." The voice seemed to be that of a mobile ticket seller?
"Your prices have gone up, you little liar," Duresi complained.
"Do you feel like you're spending money indiscriminately now?" the ticket seller, who was called a "little liar," retorted: "You won't think so when you win."
"Okay, give me another number 13." Duresi bought another one.
"Do you have any friends I can trust?" After the transaction, the ticket seller quietly lowered his voice: "You know what I mean. Don't look for someone too young."
Durexi shouted to a familiar figure: "Hey, brother, come here, brother, come here."
"Don't scream." The ticket seller hurriedly stopped him: "This kind of thing will kill us."
Duresi retorted unconvinced: "You wait here, I will help you sell them all."
With that said, Duresi walked towards a group of people who were arguing fiercely in the market: "Hey man, listen to me..."
"Shut up, Duresi."
When his eyes saw things, Wu Chen found that he seemed to be hiding in the ticket seller's mind. He was watching the arguing crowd from a distance.
Duresi's voice came faintly in the noisy market: "If you want to enjoy life, I can tell you a clear way, Ivo——"
"Do you have any good ideas, Duresi?" asked the tall veterinarian in the crowd.
"Lottery! Lotto! Whatever you say." Durexi said with a smile, "The lottery will be drawn tonight."
"I've never won money." A man with a mustache subconsciously took off his hat.
"You'd better read the newspaper news." The tall veterinarian turned and left angrily.
"When I saw the news, the situation had already become so bad." Duresi first retorted at his back, and then shouted at the ticket seller: "Ivo - come here."
Ivo, the ticket seller, entered directly: "There are no special rules, and there is nothing that cannot be said. It depends on the winning numbers of the National Lottery..."
Duresi rushed to say: "If the first two numbers are 62 and you buy 62, then you win, which proves that you are born lucky and have a lucky star shining above your head. You will be surrounded by awards and joy , wipe away the tears you will never forget."
After saying that, Duresi turned around and walked behind the ticket seller Ivo.
Ivo, the ticket seller, said to Duresi who passed by him: "Please, keep your voice down."
Then he turned back to the crowd and said, "Everyone, the price is three thousand."
"We all add up to three thousand?" the man with the mustache lowered his head and asked.
"One lottery ticket costs three thousand." Ivo, the ticket seller, stared into his eyes and said, "You can also get discounts if you buy in large quantities."
The man with the mustache asked Duresi, an acquaintance behind the ticket seller: "Then what reward can we get?"
"The most precious thing in the world." Duresi replied.
"What is the most precious thing in the world?" Another man in a plaid shirt scratched his head and asked with a smile.
Wu Chen could tell from the roar of laughter from the crowd that everyone present seemed to understand what "the most precious thing in the world" actually meant.
"Please, you will get me arrested." Ticket dealer Ivo obviously knew that these people knew.
"Are you the lottery ticket seller?" A strong man wearing a funny red hat came to the market after hearing the news.
"I said, don't yell. I'll be there in a moment." The ticket seller Ivo obviously knew this well and didn't want the crowd to gather in large numbers.
"Can you explain it?" Someone was dissatisfied.
"Please don't scream." Ivo, the ticket seller, explained.
Upon seeing this, Duresi immediately changed the subject: "How many numbers are there in the National Lottery?"
"Seventy." An acquaintance replied.
"So he will buy 70 tickets." Duresi walked towards an elderly country squire. It means the quantity is not large, so buy it early.
The elderly squire said: "70 tickets cost 3,000 each, so the total is 210,000 lire."
The strong man in the red hat rushed over and asked immediately: "Have you seen her?"
"Of course." someone in the crowd replied.
"You have to give it a try." The strong man in the red hat immediately made up his mind: "At six o'clock (the lottery draw), she is either yours or someone else's."
The ticket seller Ivo added seriously: "Exactly six o'clock."
Dureisi immediately continued: "Just sit in front of your TV, clear your ears and listen carefully. Bari is okay, Milan is okay, Cagliari is okay, Naples, (to) Naples, You stop. The number that runs on the (lottery machine) wheel is the winner."
"Naples, because she is from Naples." Ivo, the ticket seller, sang with him.
"Who is it?" The curiosity of a group of people was aroused.
"Just explain to them in a low voice, we are all civilized people." The ticket seller Ivo walked around the crowd and asked the strong man in the red hat: "How many tickets do you want to buy?"
"All the tickets." Seeing that his big words made the crowd laugh, the strong man in the red hat said hurriedly: "I mean if I were rich, I would buy all the tickets."
"You're right. Come with me. Let's go see the 'prize' over there." Seeing that the time was right, Durexi led everyone to move their positions.
"Give me number 14." The strong man in the red hat took the opportunity to say.
"What did you say?" Ivo, the ticket seller, pretended not to understand. Here’s a little trick of the trade.
The strong man in the red hat was still chattering. The ticket seller Ivo looked at Durexi walking away and said to the strong man in the red hat: "Okay, you tell those people. Don't publicize this business to the outside world."
Duresi, who had already walked away, turned around and yelled at the ticket seller Ivo: "Don't worry, I will bring them back. Let's go see the 'prizes' first."
The ticket seller Ivo looked at the crowd that Duresi took to "inspect the goods" and said to the strong man in the red hat: "If those people continue to yell, I will go to jail. On the 14th."
Because he saw a large group of potential competitors going to "inspect the goods", the strong man in the red hat who bought the lottery ticket No. 14 as expected immediately added: "There is also No. 13."
"Already sold." Ivo, the ticket seller, replied.
"No way -" the strong man in the red hat raised his head and wailed, but the ticket seller Ivo kept trying to persuade him.
As this plot unfolded, Wu Chen, who was hiding in the mind of the ticket dealer Ivo, keenly captured many plot elements.
Obviously, this plot is related to the "lottery" being secretly sold. Based on the conversation, the "prizes" Duresi mentioned twice are obviously "prizes" that can be redeemed by winning lottery tickets. And it is not difficult to guess from "she is from Naples" that the lottery jackpot is "she".
Then combined with "If you want to enjoy life, I can tell you a way", "It depends on the winning numbers of the national lottery", "If the first two numbers are 62, and you buy 62, then you win ”. Moreover, the National Lottery has 70 numbers. "So he will sell 70 tickets," "70 tickets cost 3,000 each, so the total is 210,000 lire."
A lottery ticket worth 3,000 a piece, and only 70 tickets are sold, is obviously not a "national lottery". The lottery income of "a total of 210,000 lire" also shows that there must be a matching "first prize".
Wu Chen vaguely thought of his first meeting with the modern girl Coco at the traffic light intersection: "5,000 lire."
So the question arises, what lottery ticket is so valuable?
Wu Chen didn't let Wu Chen wait too long. After shopping around, the ticket seller Ivo left the market and walked into Luna Park.
