After leaving the private room, Xiao Zhuzhu had already climbed the stairs to the third floor. Seeing that Chen Mengsheng was unharmed, he finally felt relieved and said, "My dear friend, are you okay? I was downstairs just now and suddenly saw someone jumping off the building. I thought it was a kindness.
My father-in-law was poisoned by that fellow. That fellow was not a good person. Haha, my dear, you are the person Xiao Zhuzhu admires."
Chen Mengsheng and Xiao Zhuzhu came out of Ruyifang. Xiao Zhuzhu had eaten half of his meal in Zuixian Restaurant and was taken out by Chen Mengsheng. He was already very hungry.
"My benefactor, there is a fresh fish restaurant not far ahead. Xiao Zhuzhu won a thousand taels of silver as a gift from his benefactor today. I have no repayment, so I would like to treat my benefactor to a glass of wine."
Chen Mengsheng was not happy with Xiao Zhuzhu at first. Such an unruly child who burdened his parents would definitely be punished in the future. However, after several interactions, Chen Mengsheng discovered that this boy was not very bad in nature. If he could follow the right path, it would be a good thing.
Good deeds.
Xiao Zhuzi took Chen Mengsheng to a fresh fish restaurant. Unexpectedly, the business in the fresh fish restaurant in the middle of the night was surprisingly good.
The dozen or so tables were all occupied, and Xiao Zhuzhu must have come here often. The shopkeeper asked the waiter to add an extra table in the hall, and after a while, the waiter served fresh fish and water and wine.
When Chen Mengsheng saw this plate of fresh fish, it was indeed well-deserved. The mouth of the fish was still open and the tail was still swinging. However, the fish body had been fried into a light golden color, and it was topped with sesame oil condiments. It was really exciting.
Fish is a gourmet food in the Jiangnan water towns. Each fish, grass, silver carp, and bighead carp, has its own unique preparation and flavor. Chen Mengsheng picked up the chopsticks and ate it lightly, and the sweet and fresh taste left a fragrant aroma in his mouth.
Xiao Zhuzhu took a sip of wine and spat: "This wine is really hard to drink. I wonder who the wine my father taught me to make was a hundred times stronger than this wine."
"Then do you understand who your father is making wine for?"
Xiao Zhuzhu thought of his parents' kindness for a moment and felt ashamed. He lowered his head and drank one glass after another. It was because of his gambling that he made his parents angry to death. Now regretting it would not help...
Chen Mengsheng looked at Xiao Zhuzhu and sighed: "Did you understand today in Ruyifang?"
"I understand, I didn't expect my benefactor to be a casino expert."
"Casinos are full of scammers. What you win today may lose tomorrow. In the end, the real winner is the one who gambled."
"Haha, no. My dear, you are very powerful. You can win everything. If only I had 10% of your ability."
Chen Mengsheng took Xiao Zhuzi's empty wine glass and filled it with wine, and said with a smile: "Pour the wine in the full wine glass into the empty glass. Repeat it a few times and you will understand. The empty wine glass is your pocket, then
Wine is silver."
Xiao Zhuzhu picked up the two wine glasses very carefully. When the full wine glass was poured into the empty wine glass, a little would always spill out. After pouring it several times, the two wine glasses in Xiao Zhuzhu's hand became empty...
"My dear friend, I understand. No matter how you gamble, this money will be gone in the end, no matter you win or lose."
"Haha, it would be best if you could figure it out. What are your plans for the future?"
"My dear benefactor, I want to go back to Lin'an, but I don't dare... If I go back, those people will definitely kill me."
"How much money do you owe people in total?"
"Five thousand...six thousand, maybe five or six thousand taels." Xiao Zhuzhu really couldn't remember how much he owed. Fulai Liquor paid off his gambling debt and his parents were driven out to sleep on the street. All of this was something Xiao Zhuzhu didn't dare to think about. For
Xiao Zhuzi never dared to think about the days to come. He lived in a hazy state, drinking and being drunk today. When Chen Mengsheng asked about it today, he only felt a wave of pain in his heart.
After drinking for a while, I felt a little dizzy and my feet felt light. I could faintly hear the sound of someone yelling. When I got closer, Xiao Zhuzhu couldn’t help but sigh to himself: What a big gambling house, the whole gambling house.
There are many gamblers in the golden wall, but there is only one huge gambling table and one dealer. There are boxes of ingots and banknotes beside him, and the silver light under the lights is dazzling...
Xiao Zhuzhu watched the people in front of him placing bets on "big bets" and "big bets"... The wanton laughter of the winners filled Xiao Zhuzhu's ears. At this time, Xiao Zhuzhu was sobered by the excitement.
It's normal to be hesitant when holding money. I seem to have promised my benefactor not to gamble anymore, but seeing others gambling is really itching and uncomfortable...
Xiao Zhuzhu decided to take a gamble and treat it as a last souvenir. Once he found this excuse, Xiao Zhuzhu was no longer embarrassed. He was about to put the money in his hand on the big characters, but his hand refused to obey and was held nearby.
In the fine print...
The croupier's face was solemn and tinged with a layer of light gray-green. His eyes were as cold as lightning and he looked at Xiao Zhuzhu expressionlessly. He raised his hand and threw the three dice into a bowl. The dice were shaking and changing in the bowl.
While counting the points, the voices of people around him were shouting one after another. Xiao Zhuzhu only paid attention to the changes of the dice and turned a deaf ear to the shouts of others.
The three dice collided with each other in the sea bowl, and slowly started to stop and finally settled on two, three, and four. After the "little" croupier gave a cold and low drink, the winner laughed, and the loser laughed.
I cried bitterly.
Xiao Zhuzhu felt that there were suddenly fewer gamblers around him, and he didn't think about it. After he won money, he wanted to stop and leave, but he didn't want to have a good gamble, and he was afraid of violating his own rules.
Promise. Just when Xiao Zhuzhu was thinking about it, the croupier threw the dice into the sea bowl again, and the result was still a small one. Xiao Zhuzhu saw the faces of the winning gamblers filled with pride, and the losers' faces were filled with pride.
The gambler just beat his head and disappeared inexplicably. All kinds of life are clearly revealed on this gambling table...
After a few rounds, only Xiao Zhuzhu and the croupier were left in the casino. The croupier did not look at Xiao Zhuzhu but said to himself indifferently: "Why don't you dare to place a bet if you are willing to gamble?"
"Who said I dare not place a bet?" Xiao Zhuzhu took out the 1,500 taels of silver notes he won in Ruyi Square from his arms, and was about to bet on Xiao Shang, but the silver notes floated on the
Enter the leopard.
The croupier saw that the bet had been placed, and there was another crisp ding-dong sound when the dice fell into the bowl. Xiao Zhuzhu's heart was already in his throat at this time. He wanted to bet on the small one, but he didn't want the banknote to float to the leopard.
He made a bet on the dice without any regrets. Xiao Zhuzhu could only wait for the fixed number of the dice, but Xiao Zhuzhu felt that a long time had passed in just a few moments.
The two dice and the three dice had stopped. Xiao Zhuzhu stared closely at the last undecided dice. The dice hit another dice and stopped. The three dices in the sea bowl became
Three three o'clock...
"Leopard" the dealer still had the expressionless and cold voice, and piled nine thousand taels of silver in front of Xiao Zhuzhu. Xiao Zhuzhu had never seen so much silver in his life. He touched the silver excitedly, and he was overwhelmed by the amount of silver.
Dizziness with flashing white light.
"Do you still want to place a bet?"
"Down, down, down." Xiao Zhuzhu felt that he had a god to help him today. This time he simply used the banknote to place it gently on the bet size, and it depended on the banknote falling by itself. But the banknote was
Floating on the leopard again.
"Wait a minute, I want to raise the bet." Xiao Zhuzhu pushed up all the 9,000 taels of silver he won on the table. The croupier still rolled the dice with no expression at all. Xiao Zhuzhu held his breath and concentrated as the three dice jumped.
I dare not take a breath...
"Four...four...four...four leopard...I won, haha..." Xiao Zhuzhu shouted... More than a dozen boxes of silver were dumped in front of Xiao Zhuzhu, and the silver rolled down from the gambling table like a waterfall.
, burying half of Xiao Zhuzhu’s body.
"Hahaha... I, Xiao Zhuzhu, have never seen so much silver, hahaha."
"Are you still betting?" A cold voice interrupted Xiao Zhuzhu, who was lying in the pile of silver.
"Come on, I'm all-in, I want to be richest in the world." Xiao Zhuzhu climbed hard to the gambling table in the pile of silver, picked up the silver note and asked the banknote to fall by itself. But this time, the place where the banknote fell was
This happened several times in a row at the gambling table other than betting. "I'm lucky today. I won without you." Xiao Zhuzhu said fiercely to the banknote.
"Bet big, I'll bet big." Xiao Zhuzhu, who was lying on the silver, shouted.
The dealer's dice fell into the bowl. Xiao Zhuzhu was secretly thinking that if he won this one, he would have everything he wanted. Would those who looked down on him in the past dare to laugh at him again?
One dice in the sea bowl stopped at six o'clock, and another dice stopped at one o'clock. Xiao Zhuzhu had a great chance of winning. Xiao Zhuzhu was already so proud that he got carried away and started to move towards the dealer behind him.
The silver box cast a greedy look.
"One, six, one. Little. You lose." The cold voice made Xiao Zhuzhu's heart turn from hot to cold.
"No, it's impossible." Looking at the three dice in the bowl, Xiao Zhuzhu was in despair, and all his willingness was gone.
The croupier said coldly at this time: "My name is Xuanyuan, and I was a gambler like you when I was alive."
"What? Are you a ghost? Where is the money?"
"There is always a win in gambling. Everyone who loses to me will become a gold ingot in the box. Now you are too, so accept your fate."
Xiao Zhuzhu was lying in the pile of silver, and his withered hands stretched out, pulling Xiao Zhuzhu. Xiao Zhuzhu wanted to shout for help, but when he opened his mouth, the hands stretched out from his mouth. Thousands of hands dragged Xiao Zhuzhu, withered hands
It tore Xiao Zhuzhu apart like iron pliers. Xiao Zhuzhu regretted why he came to gamble, but is there any use in regret? A black hole opened on the ground of the casino, and Xiao Zhuzhu was thrown into this bottomless abyss...
Xiao Zhuzhu woke up with a sudden scream, and saw Chen Mengsheng looking at him with a smile. The fish on the table was still warm and steaming. The diners in the fish restaurant looked at Xiao Zhuzhu in surprise.
Chen Mengsheng asked softly: "Did you enjoy your gambling?"
When Xiao Zhuzhu heard these words, he felt as if he was struck by thunder, his eyes filled with fear: "My benefactor, I...I will never gamble again."
"Haha, I believe you." Chen Mengsheng took out an eight thousand tael bank note from his sleeve and said, "Go back to Lin'an quickly and take care of Fulai Winery again."
"My benefactor, I have never met you, but why have you saved me so many times?"
"I once received a glass of wine from your father, and I pitied his two elders for hating iron. You go back, and I will go to Fulai Liquor to drink for whom you are drinking."
"If you dare to ask your benefactor Gao's name, Xiao Zhuzhu will never forget him."
"My name is Chen Mengsheng, and I'm just an acquaintance of your father. If you open your store well, it will be worth my efforts. You can go back and tidy up now, and return to Lin'an tomorrow."
Xiao Zhuzhu had no choice but to bid farewell to Chen Mengsheng and left the fish restaurant. Chen Mengsheng drank alone and drank a lot, but he was thinking about where Ye Shuang'er's soul in Qianyuan had gone...
