Chapter 53: The Gambling
Li Yi, like other boys, had a dream of martial arts when he was a child. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Countless times I dreamed that I could learn the world's first martial arts, become a generation of heroes, hoe the strong and help the weak, fight the sword world, and leave a legend of chivalry and righteousness in the rivers and lakes.
Especially after being exposed to various martial arts novels and TV series, such thoughts become more and more intense.
However, as I grew older, my thoughts became less childish than when I was a child, and this idea gradually faded.
In the 21st century, where is there any martial arts? As long as you are an adult with a slightly normal brain, you will not always think about these illusory things as when you were a child.
But here it is different.
In this world, rivers and lakes really exist.
Although "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes", the definition of "rivers and lakes" here is very broad, and the rivers and lakes of this world are a real rivers and lakes with chivalrous legends.
Here, individual strength is magnified to the extreme. Even a small willow leaf village can be called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Like Lao Fang and others, they seem to be just honest peasant men, but when they really start with people, they are all good hands with one to ten.
Even his wife and sister-in-law are all extraordinary martial arts masters.
Li Yi would see them practicing martial arts every day, and inadvertently revealing a small hand would make Li Yi lose his big teeth.
What kind of freehand splitting wooden table, this is all trivial, Li Yi felt that there was no problem in letting Liu Ruyi break the boulder in his chest.
Thinking about it, I still don't think she is suitable for practicing this, her breasts are already flat enough, and when she is pressed by the stone slab, there is nothing......
Li Yi should be very glad that Liu Ruyi couldn't hear what he was saying, otherwise she would have slashed with a sword.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Yi sadly found that in the whole family, he could only beat Xiaohuan in terms of combat effectiveness, as a man, is there anything more humiliating than this?
No, the family is already very yin and yang, if he is not domineering and powerful, he will be suppressed for the rest of his life and will not be able to raise his head.
"Ruyi ......"
Li Yi looked at Liu Ruyi with a smile on his face, trying to make his voice as gentle as possible.
Liu Ruyi had never seen Li Yi with such an attitude, and his vigilance immediately raised a notch, looking at him from a distance, and making a posture of vigilance.
Seeing that he just called her name, he made a look like he was about to make a move, Li Yi had a black line on his face, if he hadn't asked someone, he really wanted to turn his head and leave......
"What?" Liu Ruyi looked at him and asked very dryly.
"I want to practice martial arts." Li Yi didn't beat around the bush this time, and replied very neatly.
"Martial arts?" Liu Ruyi looked at him, and his eyes changed a little. "Why?"
Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then said frankly: "I just want to practice martial arts, I have admired people who practice martial arts since I was a child, but I have never had the opportunity to practice martial arts." ”
"Nope."
What Li Yi didn't expect was that Liu Ruyi quickly shook his head.
"Why?" This time it was his turn to wonder.
"You're too poor." Liu Ruyi said very politely.
Li Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he felt a little angry in his heart.
Anyway, he is also a traverser, with the aura of the protagonist, destined to become a man who changes the world, no matter what he does, he will succeed, and now he just wants to practice martial arts, but he is actually said to have too poor qualifications? This simply does not fit the routine of the protagonist.
However, it was obviously impossible for him to give up like this, a thought flashed in his heart, he looked at Liu Ruyi and said, "Or, how about we make a bet?" ”
"Don't bet."
Liu Ruyi opened her mouth very simply, blocking what Li Yi was about to say in her throat.
Li Yi looked at her with some annoyance, always playing cards like this without following the routine, can she still chat happily?
"If I lose, give you fifty taels of silver, and if you lose, you must teach me martial arts." Li Yicai didn't care if she refused or not, he really didn't believe that Liu Ruyi could withstand the temptation of fifty taels of silver.
Sure enough, after hearing Li Yi's bet, Liu Ruyi's eyebrows were raised, and he seemed to be a little moved.
Fifty taels of silver is indeed not a small amount of money for her, she can buy a lot of things she wants to buy, from childhood to adulthood, she has never had so much money in her hands to dispose of herself.
However, she also knew in her heart that since Li Yi could say such a thing, he must be sure of victory, and with her understanding of Li Yi, he would not do anything that he was not sure of.
Li Yi knew what she was thinking at a glance, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you recite poetry and paint, let alone let you do other difficult things." ”
After that, he stood up, picked up two stones of different sizes from the corner of the courtyard, held them in his hands, raised his two arms to the same height, looked at Liu Ruyi, and said: "You only need to guess, when I let go, which of these two stones will land first, if you guess correctly, then I will lose, fifty taels of silver will be offered with both hands, if you guess wrong, you must fulfill your promise and teach me to practice martial arts." ”
This gamble is very simple, but when Li Yi said it, Liu Ruyi still had some doubts in his heart.
Of course, it is not doubting herself, but doubting Li Yi's IQ.
When two stones fall from the same height, it must be the heavier one that lands first, which is a well-known thing, so is it worth betting?
This bet is simply a situation where you must win.
If it weren't for the elusive smile on Li Yi's face, Liu Ruyi would be wondering if he was really funny, and wanted to give him fifty taels of silver for nothing.
She wasn't worried about what tricks Li Yi would play at all, at such a close distance, no matter what Li Yi did, she couldn't escape his eyes.
"Why, do you dare to bet?" Li Yi looked at Liu Ruyi and said quite provocatively.
"Why don't you dare?"
Liu Ruyi glanced at him and said lightly.
This is a gamble, she can't lose no matter what, how can she have trouble with silver?
"High five!"
Li Yi put down the stone first, raised his palm and said.
Syllable!
Liu Ruyi frowned, but still stretched out his palm and slapped him once.
"Let's get started, I guess the stone in your left hand hits the ground first." Liu Ruyi was talking about the larger stone.
"Don't worry......" Li Yi didn't start directly, and said with a serious face: "I have to find Xiaohuan to come over to witness it first, otherwise if you regret it afterwards, who will I talk to?" ”
Liu Ruyi began to suppress the urge to raise his sword and slash him again.
After a while, the little maid stood beside the two of them, looked at Li Yi, and then at Liu Ruyi, and said, "Uncle, second miss, you can start." ”
After speaking, she put all her attention on Li Yi's hands, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, my uncle's fifty taels of silver, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it now......
Even Xiaohuan knew that the big stone should have landed first, how could the second lady guess wrong?
"Look at it."
Li Yi raised his arm to the same height, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and when he let go of his hand, two stones fell to the ground.
Bang!
Two stones fell from the sky and slammed into the bluestone slab with only one sound.
"How is this possible!"
Seeing this scene, Liu Ruyi's face showed extreme surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
