I could hear shouts coming from far away, making this vast and quiet camp seem particularly lively.
Ye Congwen followed Hua Sihu and walked in. The interior was brightly lit, and everyone's eyes were shining with golden light. There were densely packed people around the table. The table was full of glittering gold coins and gold bars. Occasionally, a few scattered white silver coins could 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 a minute! I'll buy 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 nonchalantly:
"Not much, just a dozen gold bars."
Ye Congwen turned around and glanced around, and found that except for a few children from Zhenjia and Zhenjia, the other eight people were all giants in Iron Tower Village.
"What kind of compensation?"
"You pay one for one, Captain Ye. We never play tricks in our gambling house. 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 rolls the dice is a warlock from the Jia family. He naturally knows Ye Congwen, the family's great enemy. However, there are no eternal 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. How can this be called killing time?"
Ye Congwen was surprised and flattered, hearing the surrounding Jia family's children getting carried away and laughing without saying a word. The Jia family's exclusive operation of the gambling house must have earned tens of thousands of gold bars in a year, if gambling debts are also included.
It is definitely an exaggeration to say that the income is richer than that of the Prince's Palace. But compared to the Zhen and Bian Palaces, it is 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 opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Congwen, 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, wait until the end of next year, depending on your performance, it may be higher than one year's salary!"
"Hurry up and open the cards. Let's wait for next year. I've always been lucky. I must get off to a good start in this first round, otherwise I will never gamble again in my life!"
Ye Congwen made a clang sound and threw in thirty more gold bars. He was holding 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 beside him anxious. This was the food expenses for the canal-building and dike-building pension for the elderly 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-building warlocks, each with a monthly salary of four gold bars. 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 building embankments cannot be spent later, and the old clan leader and elders in the clan know about it later, 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 happens.
When the dealer saw Ye Congwen bringing out a whole box of gold bars, two hundred in total! His eyes immediately widened!
This is a big customer! I heard that this guy digs for elixirs with his left hand and hunts monsters with his right hand. Last time he even picked up a tripod-forging elixir. Once he is roped in and develops into a senior gambler, my Jia family will not earn more than one in a year.
Thousands of gold bars?
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. Their morale will be high when things go smoothly, but they will give up on themselves when encountering slight setbacks, and may even blame others. Maybe they will never gamble again.
Obviously Ye Congwen is this kind of person! The dealer has been playing around at the gambling table for a long time, and he has long developed a pair of sharp eyes. He can see everyone's shortcomings and weaknesses at a glance. Once he confirms his opinion, he immediately decides to take a long-term view.
, catch big fish.
Seeing Ye Congwen placing more than thirty gold bars on the small characters, he secretly calculated in his mind:
If I let him win the first round, he will have more than 60 gold bars in the second round. If I let him win again, he will have 120 gold bars in the third round. If I let him lose all in the third round,
In the fourth round, this kid will definitely get angry and throw down all the two hundred gold bars. At that time, it will be time for me to put away the fishing rod!
The dice jar immediately spun at high speed in the dealer's hand. 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 face, and screamed 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 taboo circle, then advanced to the realm of muscle-expanding and pulse-expanding, and then picked up the treasure of forging the cauldron!
Could this be the legendary three-in-a-row good luck streak?"
A group of extremely enthusiastic Jia family disciples immediately gathered around him. They all called Ye Congwen brothers and sisters, admiring and admiring his incredible good luck. They even did not hesitate to use the fact that Ye Congwen continuously won money from Jia Xiaoyao in the apprenticeship camp as evidence.
The whole gambling house was filled with flattering words. Ye Congwen refused to accept anyone who came. He felt dizzy and pushed all the more than sixty gold bars onto the small print without counting:
"I will continue to buy small ones!"
The giants watching on the side were very excited and wanted to invest too, but 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 make a lot of money with him?"
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 that Ye Congwen's table was busy and filled up the empty seats in the blink of an eye. Seeing that Ye Congwen was lucky, these people followed suit one after another. It didn't take long before the gold bars on the small characters piled up like mountains.
More than a 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 three consecutive victories!
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 immediately fell silent.
tomato
Is it possible to win like this? Is Xiao Congwen really a child 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 at once. If all three hundred gold bars were smashed down, once the bet was successful, all the dealers in the gambling house would be bankrupted by Ye Congwen 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 stacking the gold bars slowly and slowly, reaching out to signal everyone to move away, and then took out a compass and a pair of bamboo root chopsticks from the 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 clanging sound, Zhu Gen Yao made a big circle around the gambling table, spinning for several minutes before stopping.
"One yin and one yang, the odds of winning are not strong. Just bet on 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-making 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 special tool for Feng Shui masters? Could it be that Ye Congwen also knew 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 will also invest.
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 with my chopsticks, but if it doesn’t work, I will have to chop the hexagrams from now on.”
Ye Congwen did what he said. He immediately moved the pointer on the compass and turned it for several minutes before stopping. When the pointer pointed to the Gen position, he made another divination with the bamboo root chopper. The bamboo root chopstick circled the entire gambling table.
It took several minutes before slowly stopping.
"Two yangs meet each other, if you lose, you will hang yourself!"
…………
"The two yins are entangled and guarded, and the underwear is lost!"
…………
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 Hunters stipulated that they 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 gold bars and motioned to Ye Rulang to pay off the debt. Ye Rulang happily took the gold bars and walked towards the small counter in the corner.
"Brother, what do you mean? It's not even the first month yet. How can there be any reason to collect the bill? 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 some games. As long as you are a newcomer, we will give you fifty silver coins for free!"
Ye Rulang began to hesitate when he heard this. There were 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 as lucky as Xiao Congwen and win hundreds of gold bars at a time.
Woolen cloth?
I turned around to ask for Ye Congwen's opinion. Unexpectedly, I 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. Come and play with your own money tomorrow. Maybe you will have better luck?"
The shopkeeper counted and approached Gen Ye Rulang while chatting and laughing. Ye Rulang hurried back after receiving 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!"
