In the gambling house, not all the guests are huddled together in a messy atmosphere.
Just above everyone's heads, there is a special private room, which is exclusively for distinguished guests.
In a red gauze and pink tent, there was a person who looked like an old actor in the troupe. He hunched over and introduced in a sharp voice:
"It's rare for a customer to come to Blackwater Town, but are you satisfied with the service in our store?"
A guest like a big-headed doll, dressed in a monk's robe, was lying on a rocking chair. There were two plump servants on the left and right, offering sweet milk.
The big-headed doll ate a few mouthfuls, with white milk flowing from the corner of its mouth. It clapped its hands and shouted: "It's fun! Come again, come again, I want to watch the circus!"
Behind the big-headed doll stood an old servant who looked like a butler. The old servant immediately stood up and said sinisterly: "The young master is very satisfied. I have troubled the store today and arranged more events."
When Lao Dan, who was called the store owner, heard this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, okay. In this rural area, we are good at fighting cocks, dogs, humans and animals."
Lao Dan clapped his hands quickly, called over a boy, and screamed: "Ask the guys below to make arrangements quickly. Anyone who can breathe will be thrown into the gambling pit for me. I must let the distinguished guests enjoy themselves today."
Come back!"
After the old man finished giving his instructions, he spoke respectfully, rubbed his hands and asked, "Young Master, I wonder which one you want to suppress?"
When the big-headed doll and the old servant in the private room heard this, they all looked at the chaotic crowd below and the bloody gambling pit.
The big-headed doll smiled and pointed randomly.
Roar!
The tiger that had just torn apart a Taoist boy's body was filled with black energy. It was obvious that this tiger was no longer an ordinary ninth-grade beast.
It looked at the excited and sick human faces outside the gambling pit one after another. Their tiger faces were as ferocious as evil spirits, and saliva mixed with blood flowed out of their mouths.
Just a moment ago, it had already killed another Taoist.
After a while, there was a squeaking sound.
An iron door opened in the pit, and another Taoist boy stepped into the gambling pit.
This Taoist boy was different from the previous ones. He held a steel fork in his hand, was tall and tall, and wore a suit of iron armor. If his hair had not been tied up in a Taoist bun, others would have thought he was a military commander, not a Taoist.
"Evil beast!" the armored Taoist shouted: "You ate my brother, and you will be killed today!"
The roar of filial piety sounded, and a tiger and a man were killed together immediately.
"well!"
Everyone in the gambling house was excited again, and some servants quickly shouted: "Place your bets, place your bets, don't wait until the time comes!"
The entire gambling house is lively again!
In a corner of the gambling house, Yu Lie finally met Gao Li Taoist. He ordered a small table in the gambling house and the two of them were already sitting opposite each other.
Gao Li was cracking peanuts on the table. After cracking them open, he didn't even need to put them into his mouth. He just stuck out his tongue, rolled them lightly, and swallowed the peanut kernels into his stomach.
Gauri said slowly:
"How about it, Brother Yu, have you thought about it? Ten thousand dollars is not a small amount.
Hey, even if you become a gangster now, you will still have to save for more than a year without eating or drinking before you can have it. And by then, the profit will be compounded, and it will not only be 10,000 yuan."
Yu Lie sat next to the other party, looking a little embarrassed.
He now works in Dukou, earning only five to six hundred dollars a month. Ten thousand dollars is indeed a large sum, a bit too much.
At the time when Yu Lie borrowed money, he only borrowed 5,000 yuan in total, and in the end, he only got more than 4,000 yuan, and the rest was deducted by the other party, saying it was interest.
As a result, only a few months have passed, and the money has more than doubled. This donkey is rolling, it is really dark!
Shan Daotong was also standing next to Yu Lie. He rolled his eyes, leaned close to Yu Lie's ear, and whispered persuasion:
"Brother Yu, you have to seize the opportunity. Otherwise, how can you pay it back? Listen to my advice and do something about it. This way you can get rid of several months of interest!"
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
Shan Daotong added: "As long as I know how to act, others will never be able to tell. You can even pressure yourself. If you play a few more games, you will probably be able to pay back your principal and profits by the end of the month."
Yu Lie sat on the table, listening to the two people's persuasion, his face gloomy.
Just like when he entered the gambling house, he felt that something was wrong.
After meeting Gao Li, the other party did not immediately ask Yu Lie for money, but instead boasted in front of Yu Lie about various tricks in the gambling pit and various stories about getting rich overnight.
And its purpose is to persuade Yu Lie to quit and participate in at least one gambling fight.
The other party said that it was because the gambling house was short of manpower recently and another big customer came today. As long as Yu Lie was willing to end the game today, no matter whether he won or lost, three months of interest would be waived.
This person did not regard Yu Lie too much as a fool, and secretly said that he would also play, and he would arrange a match between Yu Lie and him, and there was a list of names to check.
When the time comes, Gao Li will pretend to have run out of energy, deliberately give in and lose to Yu Lie, or give Yu Lie a chance to admit defeat. These can all be discussed.
However, after Yu Lie heard these words, he immediately sneered in his heart.
Regardless of the flaws in the other party's words, even if they were true, Yu Lie didn't want to put his own life in danger and refused directly.
Shan Daotong said: "Brother Yu, please make a sound?"
Yu Lie ignored what he heard. He saw that the gambling house was getting hot again and the air was polluted. He was too lazy to listen to the other party's nonsense.
Bang!
Yu Lie took out a stack of red talisman money from his arms and threw it on the table.
The talisman money was heavy and banged, which immediately attracted the attention of Gao Li and Shan Daotong.
The other two were stunned for a moment, looking down at the blood-like talisman money, unable to react.
Yu Lie counted the talisman coins, took out a few and put them back into his sleeves, then knocked on the table:
"One hundred red copper talisman coins, a total of ten thousand coins, please count them."
There are five grades of talisman coins. The lowest grade is black iron talisman coins, which are dark in color, shaped like eight trigrams, and have runes engraved on them. They are also called Black Emperor Talisman coins, and they cost one coin each.
The higher-grade ones are red copper talisman coins, which are bright red in color and are worth a hundred coins each. They are also called Red Emperor Talisman coins.
The four merit-selecting talisman coins that Yu Lie obtained from Daolu Yuan were made by Daolu Yuan based on the red copper talisman coins with additional markings.
With such a large amount of money, Yu Li must have a way to make a fortune and be prepared in advance, otherwise he would really not be able to collect it all.
Bang bang!
Yu Lie continued to knock on the table, awakening the two of them, and said: "Fellow Taoist Gaoli, please take out the deed!"
Gao Li raised his head at this time, stared at Yu Lie with strange eyes, and let out a burst of dry laughter: "Giggle... luxuriant! As expected of his family background, he is now the leader, but he has some wealth!"
Shan Daotong stared at the pile of bloody talisman money, his eyes almost fell on the table. He had never seen so much money.
After losing his composure for a while, Gao Li's face not only did not show the expression of failure, but his smile became bigger and bigger, his mouth was grinning, and his saliva was dripping on the table.
Knowing that temptation could not seduce Yu Lie, Gao Li clapped his hands, called a boy over, pointed to the talisman money on the table, and said:
"This belongs to this guest, accept it all."
The waiter simply accepted it, quoted an accurate figure, and sang: "The distinguished guest is here, ten thousand dollars!"
Ouch! People at the tables next to me were startled when they heard it. They pricked up their ears and turned their heads to look over.
Then Gao Li took out a deed with white and blood letters from his sleeve. He waved it in front of Yu Lie, showing that it was indeed the contract in which Yu Lie pledged his liver and lungs to the other party.
But the next moment, Gao Li did not give the contract to Yu Lie, but pressed it on the gambling house boy's tray.
"This is mine, a copy of the Liver and Lung Deed."
Gao Li pointed at Yu Lie and said with a smile: "It's a bet with this little brother!"
Shan Daotong stood aside, unable to react after hearing the words.
But Yu Lie immediately frowned, with a cold look in his eyes.
Gao Li didn't pay any attention to the look on Yu Lie's face. He stood up, patted Yu Lie's shoulder, leaned into Yu Lie's ear and said:
"You can get the contract back if you pay back the money? What I think is too beautiful! Do you really think that this 'rich thing comes from the east'? Is this a good thing?
Let me tell you the truth, you will be punished if you don’t pay back the money today, and you will be punished if you pay back the money! Otherwise, let alone our family won’t let you go, and the gambling house owner won’t let you go either.”
Gao Li took out a piece of yellow paper from the sleeve of the gambling house boy and placed it in front of Yu Lie. He pointed to a name on the yellow paper:
"See clearly?"
On this piece of yellow paper, there are the names of Gao Li and Yu Lie. The other party had already filled in Yu Lie's list for tonight's gambling match, and informed many guests before the game started.
And the end result is a life-and-death battle between the two!
