Xiao Wenshou opened his mouth in surprise: "What, a faster way to make money?" Her face first showed joy, then she became alert, "Xiao Yu, don't take the wrong way. You have this Your skills are not meant to make you a bandit and robber."
Liu Yu smiled hoarsely: "Mom, why do you think about this?"
Xiao Wenshou sighed: "Then what do you think of your mother? You are not literate and can write documents or epitaphs for others. You have only a handful of energy left. If you want to make money quickly, you have to be a thief. What else can be done?”
Liu Yu laughed: "No, mother, this time in Pinglu Village, the child actually thought of a way to make money. You may not know that in Pinglu Village, a Jinmantang Gambling House was opened. !”
Xiao Wenshou asked suspiciously: "Gambling house? What is that?" Xiao Wenshou had lived in Jingkou for decades. He had never seen a gambling house and knew almost nothing about this concept.
Liu Yu said seriously: "A gambling house is a place where people place bets on anything, and the outcome is determined by the outcome. This time, I bet with the master of that day and won thousands of dollars, so that's what I did."
Xiao Wenshou frowned: "It turns out to be gambling, and we can't get involved in this. The last time you gambled, my mother was still beating the drum in her heart. What if you lose? One hundred, fifty or sixty dollars, no Do you know how many pairs of straw sandals we need to sell?"
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Mother, you don't know something. For so many years, I have practiced martial arts every day, and I have become sharper and sharper. My reaction speed is much faster than ordinary people. So, when Xu Daofu hit the child with a big stone that day, others It looks like a flying stone like a meteor, but from the child's perspective, it seems to be a slow and carefree one, and he dodges it with a casual twist of the waist."
Xiao Wenshou nodded: "Your reaction speed is indeed faster than ordinary people, but is this useful for your gambling?"
Without saying a word, Liu Yu stretched out his hand, and with a "pop" sound, a fly turned into a pool of blood between his two fingers. He shook his hand, flicked the fly's body out, and said with a smile: " You see, mother, with this reaction speed and eyesight, how can you lose when you gamble?"
Xiao Wenshou still shook his head: "What will you bet on then? Is it still the kind of throwing stones at each other?"
Liu Yu said with a smile: "I don't know. I'll find out when I go and see it tomorrow. In the gambling house, I heard that it was either throwing dice like that or playing with acanthus and other things. In short, there are many ways to play, but only quick eyesight and quick hands can be used. You can win money if you place your bet in time.”
Xiao Wenshou frowned: "Xiao Yu, although my mother has never seen gambling, your father said before that when he was here, this kind of thing may lead to bankruptcies. I heard that many people become servants of wealthy families. People who are slaves have no choice but to take this step because they lose money in gambling and cannot pay it back. Xiaoyu, our family is not rich. Now that you no longer have a decent job, you should find something serious to do, but Don’t go astray.”
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Mom, since you were a child, when has your child ever let you down? Don't worry, your child will be very cautious. He only brings ten dollars to gamble every day. It won't be a big deal if he loses. My child has this Be confident, with the child’s eyes and quick hands, you will be able to make a lot of money very quickly.”
Xiao Wenshou sighed: "What do you want to do to make so much money? With your ability, whether you are harvesting wood in the mountains, selling straw sandals, or fishing, you will not make our Liu family poor."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth. He thought about it again and again, and finally said: "Mom, because I still want to join the army to serve the country and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. In order for our family not to be bullied when I leave, I must make money quickly!"
Xiao Wenshou opened his eyes wide: "What, you, are you really going to join the army?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, before the martial arts meeting that day, the child once met an uncle named Sun Wuzhong. I heard that he was a general under General Xie in Guangling City. The child could never make up his mind before. Because I am afraid that if I join the army for nothing, I will not be able to get the position of an officer, and if I have to be a small soldier, it will be impossible to achieve success."
"But General Sun is very optimistic about the child. I heard from Liu Muzhi that when the child was competing that day, he and two noble girls had been watching the battle under the big locust tree. If the child won the leader, as long as the child If you go and join him, you will definitely have a future!"
Xiao Wenshou's eyes widened: "Do you really have such a way? What, what Sun Jun general is willing to recommend you?"
Liu Yu nodded confidently: "Yes, the barbarians invaded the south, and General Xie went out to the north of Zhenjiang to recruit elite soldiers to resist the foreign enemies. I am confident that I will be able to stand out with this skill, but I need someone to introduce me to it. Military merit is recognized. Otherwise, if you work hard but can’t get credit for it, and just go home with some spoils, what’s the use?”
Xiao Wenshou sighed: "If you want to join the army, our whole family will support it, but why do you want to take the evil path of gambling? Let's think about it again."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Today my child contradicted Governor Diao in person. I'm afraid that once my child leaves, he will find a way to bully my mother and two younger brothers, so I must leave enough money to leave with peace of mind. They can do The tricks are nothing more than tax increases. As long as you have two thousand dollars at home, you have nothing to fear."
Xiao Wenshou closed his eyes: "Dalang, you have always had your own opinion in doing things. Now that you have made your decision, I have nothing to say. Well, let's ask Erlang and Sanlang to come and have dinner together."
A look of excitement flashed across Liu Yu's face: "Let's go now, kid!"
Midnight, Pinglu Village, Jinmantang Gambling House.
This was originally a barn in the village. It was temporarily requisitioned yesterday, and it was simply decorated and turned into a gambling house. The guards of the gambling house with swords patrolled back and forth.
There are more than a dozen tables on the first floor. Tianshi Tao disciples dressed in sky-blue clothes sit on the bank at each table. The methods of playing are different. Some are drawing lots, some are throwing dice, and there are many games to play. The ones who were playing were the people who were playing chess. Four or five wolfberry seats were surrounded by more than 80% of the people in the gambling house. Everyone was blushing and following each throw of the dice, they were shouting and shouting. And the sounds of "Lu", "Lu" and "Pheasant" are endless.
Sun Tai stood on the second floor, looking coldly at the activities downstairs through a small window. Liu Yi was crowded among a group of people playing with cattails, shouting and screaming. He came here for inspection in the afternoon. , but it only took less than half a day to become one of the craziest gamblers in this gambling house.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Sun Tai's lips: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, if you can endure today, can you endure tomorrow? As soon as you come, don't even think about leaving!" chapter;
