Chapter 27 Cockfighting

The four Friday Langs also felt that Man Bao was very powerful and asked: "Man Bao, how did you calculate it?"

Zhou Lang said embarrassedly: "I have been calculating for a long time, but I still can't figure it out."

Daya testified for him, "Uncle Six started counting when we had four or five flowers left in the basket. By the time we were all done, he hadn't even figured it out yet."

Man Bao clasped his fingers and said to them: "It's very simple. There are twenty-four flower baskets in total. One is five cents. The twenty are exactly one hundred cents. Two flower baskets are ten cents. Four are two.

Ten Wen, one hundred Wen plus twenty Wen, isn’t it one hundred and twenty Wen?”

Wulang and the other two were starry-eyed and counted on their fingers for a long time, but they still didn't understand, "Why are twenty flower baskets worth one hundred cents?"

Man Bao said matter-of-factly: "Because ten flower baskets cost fifty cents."

The four of them were even more confused.

But no matter what, they made a lot of money.

Wulang put all the money into the bag with candy and touched it. His face turned red with excitement. He had never touched so much money.

When Liulang saw it, he also wanted to touch one, so the five of them took turns touching a handful of copper coins, and then they said with satisfaction: "Our family is rich."

Wu Lang held the cloth bag in his arms and put it away, and asked Man Bao, "Yao Mei, what do you want to play? Tell Fifth Brother and Fifth Brother will take you to play."

Man Bao said: "I'm going to buy a big cock."

Wulang subconsciously covered the bag, "Why did you buy a big cock?"

"Touren your mother's body," Manbao said with bright eyes: "Dad said, my mother has suffered too much in the past, so she needs to replenish her body in order to recover. A big cock can replenish her body."

Wulang hugged the cloth bag and said reluctantly: "But that big rooster costs sixty-five cents. It's too expensive."

Daya and Erya also thought it was too expensive and nodded in succession.

Man Bao insisted, she felt that money was easy to make, and what was more important than her mother's health?

Wulang couldn't compete with her, so he could only say: "Let's buy another one, and buy a smaller one. Anyway, my mother eats alone, and she can't eat so much in one meal. It's cheaper this way, and I can buy a few more."

Woolen cloth."

Man Bao thought what he said made sense, "Where are the roosters for sale?"

Of course it was the street they came to just now, which specializes in selling all kinds of chickens, ducks and vegetables. But Wu Lang came to the county town rarely and didn't want to go back to that street, so he rolled his eyes, pointed to the front and said: "

Let’s take a look, maybe there’s something cheaper.”

Everyone readily agreed.

On Friday Lang held Manbao's hand and hugged the cloth bag tightly, while on Saturday Lang held a niece in one hand. The two of them happily took everyone to play together with their backpacks on their backs.

Man Bao was very excited when she saw so many people for the first time. She was not afraid of strangers and would crawl into places where there were many people.

At first, Wu Lang was holding her hand, but soon it was her dragging Wu Lang away, and in the end, it was Wu Lang who chased her.

Mukuro had his own place to play. After chasing after him for a while, he became too lazy to chase. Anyway, it was just a street, and he would always encounter him if he walked forward.

Daya and Erya didn't want to chase them anymore, so they followed Uncle Liu and played happily behind them.

It's just that Wulang has a hard time, not only having to worry about someone touching the money in his bag, but also worrying about Manbao getting lost. The most important thing is that he also wants to play!

Manbao ran along the crowd and didn't know where she went. When she saw a group of adults gathered around and yelling loudly, she became very curious and squeezed through the crowd and got in.

Wu Lang followed behind, sweating profusely, "Man Bao, Man Bao, don't run around..."

It was difficult for him to get in with the backpack on his back, so he had to jump up and look. When he saw what was going on inside, his face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't care about anything else. He dropped the backpack, hugged the bag tightly and squeezed in.

As soon as Manbao got in, he saw two chickens in the middle. Their hair was straight and they were clucking and fighting. Manbao was stunned. What's so good about two chickens fighting?

The adults watching were very excited, clenching their fists and shouting, "Peck it, peck it, hard, peck the eyes, peck the eyes... Oops!"

Man Bao looked up at the excitement of the adults on the left, and then looked at the annoyance of the adults on the right. He was confused and asked, "Koko, what are they doing? Do you want me to help them and persuade them?

Chickens, stop fighting?"

The system said: "It is recommended that the host should not go. This should be a legendary cockfight."

Man Bao asked curiously, "What is cockfighting?"

"A form of gambling in which two chickens fight, and the owner of the losing chicken loses." The system popularized the famous cockfighting legend in history.

For example, a certain emperor liked cockfighting very much. Someone spent a lot of money to sacrifice a chicken to him. For this, he was scolded by a famous minister.

Man Bao looked at it curiously for a while. Wu Lang finally got in, hugged Man Bao, covered her eyes and said: "Man Bao, who asked you to come here? This is gambling, we

But you can’t imitate your fourth brother.”

Man Bao pulled his hand from his eyes, and the two chickens in the field also decided the winner. One of them was blinded by the peck. At this time, he turned around and ran away with his wings folded.

The chicken behind it raised its head proudly and clucked like Man Bao who had done something big.

The owner of the escaped chicken was so angry that he kicked the chicken to the ground, took out a handful of silver from his pocket and threw it to another person.

Man Bao's eyes widened, he looked at that person and then at the chicken, thoughtfully.

Wu Lang was frightened when he saw Yaomei's expression and pulled her away.

Man Bao was not happy and said: "I won't be as stupid as my fourth brother. What's the fun in watching chickens fight? It's not like people fighting."

Friday Lang was shocked, "You, you still want to watch Dou Ren?"

Man Bao asked curiously, "Is there really a way to watch people fight and gamble?"

Wu Lang has never seen it, but he has heard from his fourth brother, but does he dare to tell Man Bao?

Friday Lang shook his head repeatedly, "No!"

Man Bao said "Oh", broke away from his hand and said, "I'll go talk to that big brother."

After that, he went to the man who lost money in gambling and looked ugly. Man Bao was small, standing in front of him, only as high as his thigh.

Although the man's face was ugly, he was not angry at a child. He frowned and shouted around: "Whose child brought this here? Get rid of it quickly."

Wu Lang had already caught up and hugged Man Bao and was about to drag him away. Man Bao pushed Fifth Brother and shouted to him, "Brother, do you want to buy a rooster? It's very beautiful, very beautiful rooster."

The man lowered his head to look at Man Bao, frowned and said, "Do you have chickens at home?"

Man Bao nodded fiercely, "I saw a very, very beautiful big rooster. The feathers are red with black, the eyes are bright, and the comb is straight and bright red. It's very beautiful, very beautiful."
