Chapter 491: Great Wilderness Town
"Shaoxia, I have taken care of him all the way, and He Dachong is grateful. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Now that everything is safe, we have come to bid farewell to Shaoxia. ”
He Dachong said respectfully to Zou Dui, but there was a kind of eagerness and excitement on his face. The same is true of several martial artists behind He Dachong.
Zou Dui smiled, but he understood the thoughts of He Dachong and the others very well.
For most martial artists, there is a natural adventurous and exploratory gene in the blood, out of the great wilderness, to the hinterland of the dream of Daqian, He Dachong and others travel and explore the blood is even more burning uncontrollably, every time they rest and chat, they say where to go and what to see.
It wasn't until he came to the first town in Qiannan at this time that He Dachong and the others came to say goodbye, and Zou Dui already felt that it was much later than he expected.
He Dachong and the others were originally free martial artists, and Zou Dui didn't think about leaving them behind, so they came and went freely. At this time, He Dachong and the others proposed to leave, and after Zou Dui politely said a few words, he agreed.
He Dachong and the others were obviously prepared, and after saying goodbye to Zou Dui, they hurriedly left the inn with simple luggage. However, everyone has been together for so long along the way, and they have some feelings, and many people have taken the initiative to say goodbye to He Dachong.
Soon after He Dachong and the others left, the inn where Zou Dui and the others were temporarily staying was quiet again.
I don't know when, Ziyu quietly found Zou Dui, pulled Zou Dui and said, "Senior brother, this is the first town we encountered after entering Qiannan, let's go to the town to have a look." ”
Ziyu's tone had a hint of coquettish request, Zou Dui thought about it these days, he was a little ignoring Ziyu, it was just a request to go around the town, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
Ziyu cheered happily and jumped to go first. Zou Dui smiled and shook his head, even though his junior sister has experienced a terrible calamity, some things in her nature have never changed, and she is still so simple.
The hinterland of the Great Dry is indeed more prosperous than the Great Wilderness, and the small town that I encountered after walking out of the Great Wilderness is called "Great Wilderness Town", which is probably named because of its proximity to the Great Wilderness.
The Great Wilderness Town is smaller than the Qinghe Town where the Zou Dui family is located, but the prosperity is comparable to the big town of the Great Wilderness, along the way, Zou Dui and Ziyu only see people coming and going, all kinds of shouting and selling are endless, and the pedestrian life on the street is obviously better than the Great Wilderness, basically wearing cotton clothes, and even wearing silk and satin, very few people wear sackcloth.
"Senior brother, the hinterland of the Great Dry is really prosperous! Compared with the Great Wilderness, it is almost two worlds!"
Ziyu watched several families dragging their children and girls to play on the street, and the children were either holding toys or marshmallows in their hands, and couldn't help but sigh in surprise.
Zou Dui also nodded, in the great wilderness of the town, there are very few cases of family play. The Great Wilderness is not without rich people, but the life of the Great Wilderness is not easy, ordinary people have to spend a lot of time busy for food and clothing, if it is not a festival, there is no time to take a family to play on the street on weekdays.
While nodding, Zou Dui asked casually: "Senior sister, haven't you lived in the Shao family in Shuangfeng City for a long time? You should be no stranger to life in the hinterland of Daqian, why do you still feel strange now?"
Ziyu heard Zou Dui mention the "Shao family", and her mouth rose in displeasure, but she still replied: "That was when I was very young, and I can't remember many things clearly. Moreover, at that time, my mother and I were not happy at the Shao family, and we rarely went to the streets......"
Zou Dui naturally didn't want to sweep Ziyu's excitement because of bad memories, and after saying "oh", he immediately changed the topic, pointed to a lively place not far away, and said, "Senior sister, there are a lot of people gathered over there, let's go and see what's going on." ”
"Yes, yes!"
Ziyu really got excited again, jumping and walking with Zou Dui.
Under the shade of a tree in front, more than a dozen people gathered, surrounding the center to see the bustle. Zou Dui and Ziyu stepped forward to squeeze into the crowd, only to find that it was a game like gambling.
At this time, a piece of oilcloth was placed in the field, with the word "single" written on the left side of the oilcloth and the word "double" written on the right, and there was an upside-down bowl in the middle with a dice on the side of the bowl.
At both ends of the tarpaulin, an old man and a middle-aged man are seated. The middle-aged man picked up the bowl on the oilcloth at random, lightly buckled the dice, and then swirled and shook it, and said to the old man with a smile: "Old man, this time you place an order or a double?"
The old man was dressed plainly, with a sickly face, a yellow beard, and a pair of eyes that were extremely bright. Hearing the middle-aged man's question, he reached out his thin right palm and pinched his beard, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Shuang!" As he spoke, he took out ten silver dollars and put them on the word "Shuang" on the tarpaulin.
"Okay! Bet on the wrong don't pay, bet on the right bet double! Open!"
The middle-aged man shouted skillfully, grabbed the bottom of the bowl with his right palm and lifted the bowl, and then in front of everyone, the dice showed that it was "five", a singular number.
"Hahahaha...... Old man, you've lost again!"
The middle-aged man laughed and pocketed the silver dollar that the old man had bet.
The old man was expressionless, as if he was unwilling, and only shouted: "Come again." ”
"Great!"
The middle-aged man responded happily, grabbed the bottom of the bowl and shook the dice at will, and once again asked the old man to bet on "single and double".
Several times in a row, the old man bet ten silver dollars every time, but without exception he lost. In this way, even the onlookers next to him saw that there was something wrong with this, but the old man did not give up, and once again took out a ten-silver dollar bet.
The old man looked like he was not a rich man, and he was still sick, Ziyu suddenly remembered his grandfather Zi Mad, and couldn't help but sympathize with the old man more, seeing that the old man was going to continue to bet, he couldn't help but stand up, and glared at the middle-aged man angrily: "Do you have a conscience as a liar, isn't it enough to cheat this old man for so much money!"
When the middle-aged man heard Ziyu's accusation, he sneered, looked up at Ziyu and said, "Liar? Interesting! I have been gambling king Zhang for decades, and it is the first time that I have been called a liar! Little girl, you say you are a liar? What is the evidence?"
Ziyu said angrily: "There is no need for any evidence, the old man has gambled so much with you, how can he not win a single one? You must have used fraudulent means!"
The middle-aged man smiled even colder: "If I can win, I have the ability, and if I have the ability, I am a liar?" What's more, this is a matter between me and this old man, what do you mean by suddenly jumping out? Little girl, if you don't give me an explanation today, I bet that Wang Zhang will let you not get out of the Great Wilderness Town!"
"You ......"
Ziyu was angry, and wanted to say more, but suddenly she was stopped by Zou Dui.
