I could hear shouts coming from far away, and it seemed particularly lively in this vast and quiet camp.
Ye Congwen followed Hua Sihu and walked in. The interior was brightly lit, and everyone's eyes were shining with gold. There were densely packed people around the table, and the table was full of glittering gold coins and gold bars. Occasionally a few scattered white silver coins can be seen.
It looks like a big bet!
A group of giants yelled, their faces glowing red, and they shouted excitedly towards the dealer in the middle of the table:
"big big big!"
"Wait! I'm buying a small one!"
Ye Congwen walked over, took out a handful of gold bars and threw them on the small characters. He put his hand on Ye Rulang's shoulder and asked with interest:
"How much did you deposit?"
Ye Rulang suddenly saw Ye Congwen coming in, his excitement suddenly turned off, and he replied sarcastically:
"Not much, just a dozen gold bars."
Ye Congwen turned around and glanced around, and found that except for a few children of Zhenjia and Zhenjia, the other eight people were all giants of Iron Tower Village.
"What kind of compensation?"
"You pay one for one, Captain Ye. Our gambling house never plays tricks. We just pass the time with nothing to do. We don't play those gambling games with high odds. We just play luck."
The croupier who rolled the dice was a warlock from the Jia family, and he naturally knew Ye Congwen, the family's great enemy. However, there are no permanent enemies in this world. As long as the giant is willing to visit our Jia family gambling house every day, he is a good brother in the trenches. .
"No wonder the people in Zhen Mansion and Bian Mansion say that your Jia Mansion is richer than the Prince's Mansion. There are thirty gold bars on the table. Is this still killing time?"
Ye Congwen was surprised and flattered, and the surrounding Jia family disciples were so proud that they all laughed without saying a word. The Jia Mansion's exclusive operation of the gambling house must have earned tens of thousands of gold bars in a year. If you include the income from gambling debts, it would be an exaggeration to say that it is richer than the Prince's Mansion. But compared to the two mansions of Zhen and Bian, they are naturally a little richer. After all, there is no cost to open a gambling house.
"The New Year has just passed, and the brothers have deep pockets. They all received a large bonus. After having fun, there is a lot of money on the table. Usually we only divide one or two gold bars to win or lose."
When the dealer saw the giant, he looked at Ye Congwen with wide eyes and quickly explained:
"This time, the commander-in-chief will give out year-end bonuses, and those who have less than one year will not receive them. Don't worry, giant brothers. By the end of next year, depending on your performance, it may be higher than one year's salary!"
"Hurry up and open the cards. We'll wait for next year. I've always been lucky. I must get off to a good start in this first round, or I'll never gamble again in my life!"
Ye Congwen threw in thirty more gold bars with a clang, and held a whole box of gold bars in his left hand, with two hundred gold bars in it. He looked like he wanted to pour the whole box into it.
This made Ye Rulang and others on the side anxious. This was the food expenses of the canal and embankment pension village and one hundred and eighty-eight giants. If they lost all, then the signature dishes of Jintang Inn would be gone. Gone?
What should I do if I need money urgently in the future? The giants have one hundred body-forging warlocks, each with a monthly salary of four gold bars, and their monthly salary is more than what the three major families in Wanquan County earn in a year!
With so much money, if the money for digging canals and embankments cannot be spent later, if the old clan leader and elders in the clan know about it, why don't they use bamboo whips to serve them?
Seven or eight giants hugged Ye Congwen's hand and asked him to take it easy. Hua Sihu behind him looked at Ye Congwen suspiciously, knowing that Xiao Congwen had always been resourceful, and didn't know what tricks he was playing, so he had to stand aside and watch what happened.
The dealer saw Ye Congwen bringing up a whole box of gold bars, two hundred in total! I immediately opened my eyes!
This is a big customer! I heard that this kid digs for elixirs with his left hand and hunts monsters with his right hand. Last time he even picked up a tripod-making elixir. Once this person is recruited and develops into a senior gambler, won't our Jia family earn thousands more gold bars a year?
How can fishing be without bait? If you don’t let him taste the sweetness, what will happen if he stops gambling in the future?
People with good luck are always confident, but they are also extremely proud. They will have high morale when things go smoothly, but will give up on themselves when encountering slight setbacks, and may even blame others. Maybe he will never touch gambling again.
Obviously Ye Congwen is this kind of person! The croupier has been fooling around at the gambling table for a long time, and has long developed a pair of sharp eyes, which can see everyone's shortcomings and weaknesses at a glance. Once you confirm your opinion, you immediately decide to take a long-term view and catch the big fish.
Seeing Ye Congwen placing more than thirty gold bars on the small characters, he secretly calculated in his mind:
If he wins the first round, he will have more than 60 gold bars in the second round. If he wins again, he will have 120 gold bars in the third round. If I make him lose everything in the third round, this kid will definitely get angry and throw down all the two hundred gold bars in the fourth round. At that time, it will be time for me to put away the fishing rod!
The dice jar immediately started spinning at high speed in the hands of the dealer. When the heat was ready, the old man immediately covered it on the table and shouted happily:
"Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it!"
Everyone opened their eyes wide and stared at the dealer's hand without blinking. When the cover was removed, there was two o'clock!
"Small!"
The giant howled, slapped his thighs, slapped his ears, and howled in anger. Just when he was regretting it, he suddenly saw all the gold bars pushed in front of Ye Congwen.
"Hey! Isn't this still in our own hands?"
Ye Congwen smiled and put all the gold bars into a pile. Listening to the compliments around him, he said proudly:
"I think I picked up the wild-level magic core in the forbidden circle, then advanced to the realm of muscle expansion and pulse expansion, and then picked up the treasure of forging the cauldron!
Could this be the legendary three consecutive fortunes? "
A group of extremely enthusiastic children of the Jia family immediately gathered around him. They all called Ye Congwen brothers and sisters, admiring and admiring his incredible good luck. They even used the fact that Ye Congwen continuously won money from Jia Xiaoyao in the apprenticeship camp as evidence.
Flattery words filled the entire gambling house. Ye Congwen refused to accept anyone who came, and he felt dizzy after hearing it. Without counting, he pushed all the more than sixty gold bars onto the small print:
"I'll keep buying small ones!"
The giants watching on the side were very excited and wanted to invest too. Unfortunately, they had no money, so they had to stand next to Ye Congwen and watch him play.
"Captain Ye has been appointed as the captain of the next surname. He has a prosperous official career and good luck. He is determined to buy children. Brothers and sisters, does anyone want to follow him and make a lot of money?"
At this time, six of the eight giants had lost all their money and stood up. Only Ye Rulang and Ye Zhihua were still hesitating while holding two gold bars.
The gamblers on both sides saw the excitement at Ye Congwen's table and filled the empty seats in the blink of an eye. Seeing Ye Congwen's good luck, these people followed suit one after another. Before long, the gold bars on the small characters piled up like a mountain, and soon exceeded one hundred.
"Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it!"
While the dealer rolled the dice, Ye Rulang and Ye Zhaihua quickly threw two gold bars on the big characters, thinking that if the small clan leader failed, the two of us could still recover some losses.
"Open! Open! Open!"
Everyone shouted slogans, and each one was more excited than the other. They stretched their heads and looked around, wishing they could pull out their entire necks.
"A little, little!"
The croupier's face turned pale and he reluctantly motioned to the people next to him to pay.
Everyone followed Ye Congwen and made another huge sum of money. Everyone roared like thunder and the crowd was furious. They all urged Ye Congwen to follow him to the end and give him a three-game winning streak!
Hua Sihu originally wanted to persuade Ye Congwen to teach these eight giants a lesson, but suddenly she saw that Ye Congwen won nearly a hundred gold bars in a few minutes, and she immediately fell silent.
tomato
Is it possible to win like this? Could it be that Xiao Congwen was really the son of destiny? Hua Sihu touched a few scattered gold coins in his pocket, and had the urge to throw a handful of them.
The croupier covered the dice again and reminded Ye Congwen that he could decide the outcome. If all three hundred gold bars were smashed down, once the bet was successful, Ye Congwen would win and bankrupt the dealer tonight. !
As soon as they heard that Ye Congwen had won more than a hundred gold bars, all the gambling tables around him stopped and gathered around Ye Congwen, cheering him on and suggesting that he would go all out to determine the outcome.
I saw Ye Congwen slowly stacking the gold bars, reaching out to signal everyone to move away, and then took out a compass and a pair of bamboo root choppers from his jade storage.
He clapped his hands, flicked off the dust on his hands, and used one finger to spin the compass pointer rapidly. He waited until the pointer pointed to the Sunda position, then picked up the bamboo chopper and threw it on the gaming table, muttering something in his mouth:
"Blessed by the ancestors, possessed by the God of Wealth, the number of winners and losers will be announced with a dagger!"
With a clang, Zhugen Yao made a big circle around the gaming table, spinning for several minutes before stopping.
"One yin and one yang, the odds of winning are not strong. Just bet one this time."
Ye Congwen picked up a gold bar and continued to mark the small characters. Seeing the dealer's frown, he slowly explained:
"Last time I picked a tripod-forging treasure medicine, but it was robbed by gangsters on the way. I've been having bad luck lately and can't sustain three consecutive victories, so I won't give it a try this time."
After Ye Congwen finished speaking, regardless of how bad the croupier looked, he took out a wooden box from Chu Yu and put the gold bars in, leaving only a few in front of him.
Everyone saw that Ye Congwen was wearing both a compass and a bamboo chopper. Isn't this a Feng Shui master's special tool? Could it be said that Ye Congwen still knows the fortune-telling method of predicting the future?
It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist. To be on the safe side, we’ll also take a shot.
The croupier looked at everyone in shock and was helpless, so he had to roll the dice again.
"Five o'clock, big!"
"Brothers and sisters, can you see if my induction is accurate? I was about to push it all the way just now, but suddenly my heart started beating fast. I knew it was the induction from heaven!
It seems that I am very accurate in playing the chopsticks. If it doesn’t work, I will play the hexagrams from now on. "
Ye Congwen did what he said, and immediately moved the pointer on the compass, spinning it for several minutes before stopping. When the pointer pointed to the Gen position, he made another divination with the bamboo root scorpion, which circled the entire gambling table. It took several minutes before slowly stopping.
"Two yangs compete with each other. If you lose, you will hang yourself!"
…………
"The second Yin entangles the guard and loses the underwear!"
…………
Ever since Ye Congwen won more than a hundred gold bars, his luck has been bad. He kept losing gold bars one by one, winning one and losing one. He stayed up until the gambling house closed, and he still had seven or eight gold bars in his hand. bullion.
The Demon Hunting Guard stipulates that you must go to bed before twelve o'clock. Ye Congwen yawned and asked:
“How much do you owe the dealer?
"We just got lucky. Ye Zhihua and I each came back with seven or eight gold bars. Now we only owe a total of eighty-six gold bars!"
Ye Rulang replied excitedly, but it was a pity that time passed too quickly, otherwise with the current luck, it would be a sure thing to win.
"Take these eighty-six gold bars to pay off the debt. We Giants of Iron Tower Village never owe anyone money."
Ye Congwen took out eighty-six sticks and motioned to Ye Rulang to pay back the debt. Ye Rulang happily took the gold bar and walked towards the small counter in the corner.
"Brother, what do you mean by this? It's not the first month yet, how can there be any reason to collect the debt? Take it back quickly and keep it for yourself. Newcomers have a thirty-day interest-free trial right, so keep it for fun first. During the first month, There is no action, there are gambling games every night, and there are fewer people, where is the fun?
Go back and bring more brothers and sisters over to play. As long as you are new, we will give you fifty silver coins for free! "
Ye Rulang began to hesitate when he heard this. Eighty-eight gold bars. We would bring two of them every night and exchange them for silver coins. We could have a lot of fun. Maybe we could be lucky like Xiao Congwen and win hundreds of gold bars at a time. Woolen cloth?
He turned around to ask for Ye Congwen's opinion. Unexpectedly, he saw Ye Congwen's sharp eyes, as if he wanted to hit someone.
Without any hesitation, he quickly placed the gold bars on the counter and shouted loudly:
"Brother, hurry up and count, I'm still waiting to go to bed!"
"Oh, this brother is very stubborn, so why not bring your own money to play here tomorrow, maybe you will have better luck?"
The shopkeeper counted and approached Gen Ye Rulang while chatting and laughing. Ye Rulang hurried back after getting the IOU.
"It's so late, go back to bed quickly."
Ye Congwen said nothing and walked towards the house with a few giants.
"Captain Ye, walk slowly, giant brothers, come and play again when you have time!"
