Chapter 259

The long grass road is wild, and a small town appears in the line of sight.

A dilapidated town, it is a small market, and the people of the steppe bring animal skins, lambs, and mare's milk here to exchange salt, linen and other necessities of life.

In a region that is neither part of the Rong clan nor controlled by the Empire, the town is also a paradise for horse thieves, murderers, and smugglers.

There are casinos, there are brothels, and here you can buy both good wine from the empire and steppe girls with thick braids.

A carriage arrives and stops in front of a well in the center of the town, and the man jumps out of the carriage to fetch water from the well, stopping in the process and scanning the surroundings.

The weirdness comes from the quiet, the surroundings are too quiet, like a city swept by Resident Evil, people are dead, and the city becomes a tomb.

"Hey, bet two, bet two. ”

Suddenly, a person jumped out of the roof and approached Cheng Dalei with a white iron dice the size of a football in his hand.

Cheng Dalei was stunned, this person's speed was so fast, so fast that he didn't have time to hold the sword.

"Don't you gamble?" Cheng Dalei asked with a smile.

"Bad, bad. The man smiled: "If you don't bet, I'll have to kill you directly, how boring." ”

"Oh, then it looks like I'm going to have to gamble. Cheng Dalei said: "What is the bet?"

"Your life. ”

Cheng Dalei's expression did not change: "If I win, I can leave?"

"That can't go. ”

"Oh......"

"If you win, I won't kill you, but someone is going to kill you. ”

At the sound of his voice, a man walked out of the tavern by the roadside, he was very thin, and his expression was a little timid, like the kind of good student who could kick his feet, but he carried a large pig-killing knife in his hand.

Ichthyosaurus, gambler and butcher.

Cheng Dalei looked at the two of them, the injury on his shoulder had made him powerless to fight, but the strength of the two in front of him was not weaker than him.

He looked at the gambler and said, "Do you count?"

"I am willing to gamble and lose, and never lose my account. The gambler held his head high.

"Won't it be long before I kill him directly?" the butcher carried the pig-killing knife, "It doesn't take so much effort. ”

"Don't do it yet, I'm going to make a bet with him. The gambler said.

"Then take a gamble. Cheng Dalei shrugged: "How to bet?"

"Bet on the size of the game, a game will determine the winner, if you lose, I will want your life. ”

"It's too boring to bet on the size, I have a fun way to bet, I don't know if you're interested?"

"Interesting betting, how to play, say it quickly, say it quickly. The gambler couldn't wait.

"Have you heard of Monopoly?" Cheng Dalei pointed to the locust tree at the entrance of the town: "There are 100 steps from here to the locust tree, everyone shakes the dice, and walks a few steps when they shake it, and whoever touches the tree first wins." ”

"Okay, it's so interesting, I'll do it first. ”

The gambler raised the huge dice in his hand, and suddenly threw it into the air, and fell to the ground with a thud, revealing a six.

"Haha, boy, you lost. ”

The gambler took a step forward, and one step was a distance of four or five steps for ordinary people, and if there were one or two more steps, he would be able to reach the foot of the big locust tree.

It was Cheng Dalei's turn to throw the dice, he picked up the white iron dice on the ground, and his hand was quite heavy, at least fifty or sixty catties, just now the gambler could throw the dice to a height of four or five meters, which shows the horror of his strength.

Cheng Dalei threw the dice at the gambler, and when the bones rolled to his feet, one or two points were revealed.

Cheng Dalei walked to the carriage.

The gambler laughed and said, "Boy, although you have good strength, you still have to lose." ”

He threw the dice at Cheng Dalei's feet and rolled out another six. Taking six steps forward, he was already closer to the locust tree, and Cheng Dalei seemed to have no hope of turning the tables.

Cheng Dalei did not throw the dice, but picked up the black umbrella on the carriage and faced the butcher.

"Do you recognize this umbrella?"

"This is the Walker's umbrella. The butcher said, "I am a friend of the Walker." ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Dalei found that the expression on the butcher's face suddenly became sad, and he raised his head and looked at the sky above him.

"In my long life, only he is my friend, after losing him, I can only trek through this chaotic world alone, you don't understand my grief, maybe I can only look up to the sky, in order not to let my tears fall. ”

Cheng Dalei was stunned and touched his head: Could it be that this butcher's real name is Guo?

"Since it's a relic of the deceased, then I'll give it back to you. Cheng Dalei held the handle of the umbrella and handed it back to the butcher.

"Thank you, but I'm not going to stop you from killing you. ”

The butcher handed the knife to his left hand and stepped forward.

Disheveled!

With a crisp sound, the steel needle on the top of the umbrella shot out, and the butcher was unprepared, and the poisonous needle shot accurately in his face. His pale face immediately turned black, and before he died, there was horror and disbelief in his eyes.

"Obviously......" Cheng Dalei pouted: "The walker didn't treat you as a friend." ”

The butcher is a friend of the walker, but the walker is not a friend of the butcher, and when he looks up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, he does not know that his friend has been watching out for him, and he has not even told him the poisonous needle in the umbrella.

The gambler was stunned when he saw this scene, and he wanted to attack on the spot, but it was too late.

"I wonder if gamblers are really willing to gamble and never lose their debts?"

The expression on the gambler's face changed, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I will defeat you first, and then kill you." ”

"Then it's time for me to roll the dice. ”

Cheng Dalei picked up the dice on the ground and threw a five.

I saw him jump up, his body flew up in the air, and he jumped out in one step, which was a distance of three or four zhang, and when he landed, he had already surpassed the gambler.

The gambler's face was cloudy, Cheng Dalei killed the butcher beyond his expectations, and Cheng Dalei was able to surpass himself, which was also unexpected.

"Don't be too complacent, boy, I still have one more chance to roll the dice, and you will definitely lose. ”

"Oh, no, I've already won. Cheng Dalei said.

"Win...... You've won there, but you haven't touched the tree yet. ”

"Step, watch step. Cheng Dalei stomped his foot.

The gambler noticed that there was a tree root under his feet.

"Are the roots part of the tree? Cheng Dalei pulled out his sword: "If you are willing to gamble and lose, I will let you go, if you are unwilling, I will send you away." ”

The gambler stared at Cheng Dalei, was silent for a long time, and suddenly stomped his foot: "Lao Tzu is willing to gamble and lose, you inquire and inquire, when will I pay the account, you don't want to trick me into breaking the rules." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, picked up the dice on the ground, carried the butcher's body on his shoulder, and strode away, the sound of a few turns was gone.

Cheng Dalei's heart was relieved, and he walked to the carriage in a few steps, Li Wan'er pulled him into the carriage, and found that Cheng Dalei's palm was very hot, and he almost climbed onto the carriage.

"You ......"

Cheng Dalei rested his head on Li Wan'er's shoulder, and his voice became weaker and weaker.

"Seems to have a cold. ”
