Yizhi arrives

Chapter 9

When I dragged Ah Piao to run, I suddenly found that my small pouch containing green plums was missing.It is expected that I left too hastily where I fell, and I didn't recall carefully, so I still have to distinguish the priorities.

A Piao asked me: "Sister Mi, where are we going?"

I've already made up my mind: "Go to June City."

"Miss..."

"Don't ask me why I want to go to June City."

"No, Sister, we don't have Yuanmu, let alone entering the city, it is very difficult to leave the city..."

Ah, I slapped my forehead, how could I forget such an important thing.What happened between me and A Piao today is not known to everyone, but the guard at the gate must have heard about it. Now that Yuanmu has been taken away by the government, the remaining Yuanmu in the jade shop either has my name written on it or is not old enough. , So I hurriedly detoured to go to the black market to buy two yuan wood.

The busiest place must be a place where fish and dragons are mixed together. Ji Yue taught me a lot of truths. For example, now, when I don’t know where to buy a piece of Yuanmu, I should at least know where to find someone who knows about it.I thought about it, one of the bustling places in Luyi City is a prostitute, and the old woman often goes in and out, so there should be a way, but right now, in the middle of the night, two young girls with yellow flowers enter that place, I'm afraid they won't be able to get in and out. ;The other place is the casino, where human traffickers like to go, and there are many people of all levels and backgrounds, so it is safer to take a stroll there.

The casinos in Luyi City are entangled with gambling stones, and Ji Yue wants to come to the jade business here, and there is reason for him.I took Ah Piao to an alley in the north of the city. During the day, there would be many vendors setting up stalls selling stones, and at night they would flock into the innermost shop called "One and Two Gates".I wandered outside that little door, but never had the guts to go in.

"You wait outside, I'll come out right away." I told Ah Piao.

Ah Piao looked worried, wrapped his claws around my arm, and called me sincerely: "Sister Mi..."

I don't like hypocrisy, and it's not about life and death, so I brushed off her paw happily and was about to enter.

But Ah Piao added behind me: "Sister Mi, don't slip away through the back door and leave me alone."

Depend on!
I walked back, gave her half of the silver in my pocket, and said to her, "If I don't come back, you can hide in a remote place in the city, and don't let the officials find you."

She still persisted: "It's good to be a show girl. If you don't come back within an hour, I'll go back to Master Ji to wash and sleep."

I don't care about her.

The door of "One or Two Gates" looks small, but there are many articles inside. When entering the door, there is a short narrow passage, and then there is a staircase. This staircase does not open upwards, but downwards. It is actually an underground casino.There are many people from all walks of life in Luyi City. I can't imagine what kind of person the owner of this casino would be, but he must be very prestigious.

I was just about to walk down the stairs with my skirt in hand, when a man walked up the opposite side. He had a big scar on his left face. He was tall and strong. He was wearing a fur vest in winter. I didn’t know that I thought it was a savage.He was obviously in charge, so he glanced at me and said, "Little girl, Yi Ermen is not a place to buy candy, hurry up and leave."

I was angry, "Didn't your boss teach you the principle of all comers?"

He looked at me again, with a playful look: "Our boss said that a silly and naive little girl wanted to come in, and it was exactly as he expected."

……foolish and naive……

I was stunned, and felt that the bosses of the two departments were really imposing to the horizon.

The big guy showed me the way. I counted the stairs. There are 21 steps in total. At the bottom of the building is a double door.There is no other decoration on the door, except that the two halves of the door have semicircular patterns, which fit together... I blinked my eyes, and it was the picture of rebirth that A Piao had told me about.

"This..." I pointed to the door and asked the man.

He ignored my surprise and pushed the door open.I think this girl has gained a lot of knowledge in the past few years in the rivers and lakes. If a pattern appears in many places in the rivers and lakes, it is not a simple pattern, but contains a certain meaning, for example, it represents a certain organization... It's just me I've never seen it before. Could it be that some new gang has been formed in Jianghu?
Behind that door turned into another world, with an exotic fragrance blowing in the face, noisy laughter, cursing, and throwing sounds, and as far as the eye could see, there was a real jumble of good and bad people, dressed in sable fur and Beggars can still sit at a gambling table, and the people sitting on the table are all women with beautiful faces and good figures, which makes my eyes pop out of my eyes.

"No wonder Ji Yue never brought me here, it's too troublesome to bring me here." I raised my legs and walked inside while cursing, completely ignorant of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Seeing the sound of the door opening, many of the people inside looked towards me, probably seeing that I was a yellow-haired girl, so they gave me a few extra glances.I have always been a cheeky person, let them look at me, and wandered around the casino on my own.This place is a circle, with those regular games in the middle, and the outer circle is filled with all kinds of stones for gambling.

Ji Yue gave me 100 taels in total, and 50 taels to A Piao. I didn’t have enough money in my pocket to pick a few broken stones, and my master often warned me that I’m not a lucky girl. It was a good thing that was achieved with little effort, so Er honestly walked to a gambling table in the middle and looked blindly.

"Little girl coming here for the first time?" The beauty sitting in the village didn't mean to dislike me at all.

I rubbed my nose and nodded, "I'll watch you play a few games first, don't worry about me." My eyes swept over those people, guessing who might be the one I was looking for.Based on my many years of personal experience in the rivers and lakes, an old man who was two people away from me on the left looked like a human trafficker, so he quietly approached.

If you ask me why I identified this person at a glance, firstly, the clothes this person wears are very ordinary, but it is impossible for a man who married a good wife to wear such clothes, and there are some mud and dirt on the hem of the clothes. Rouge, it's been a long time since I washed it. What good wife in the world would let her husband do this kind of thing?Secondly, this person has a fiery temper, and he swears at every turn, all of which are scolding words. He must have heard too many whimpering voices from the crowd of women, and he has to scare them at every turn.Three times... I think he's almost lost all the money in his pocket.

The elders noticed that I was approaching him, looked at me very vigilantly, and moved away a little bit quietly, not knowing who they thought of me in their hearts.To be honest, this man smelled so bad, and this girl also disliked him very much. After waiting patiently for two rounds, he lost the last few coins in his wallet, and was about to leave while scolding his mother.

I saw that the timing was good, and I was about to press over to have a private conversation with him. The draft was ready, so I said this: Sir, you were not busy in the first half of the night and then busy in the second half of the night. It’s a pity that you left like this. I have 30 taels of silver here. , make a deal with you, if you can help me get two Yuanmu of a young girl...

As a result, the fellow yelled at the floor, a mouthful of phlegm almost spitting on my shoes, and he said: "I have lost all the money for killing pigs in the past two days, and when I go home, the mother-in-law is going to fight with me, mother's real back!" "He finished cursing by himself, and incidentally squinted at me, that look blamed me for bringing him bad luck by standing beside him.

You are actually a butcher!
I quickly shrunk my neck, rubbed the soles of my feet and went to another table. The atmosphere at that table was a little tense, as if it had reached a critical moment. After a closer look, it turned out that two men were betting one-on-one there, with a jade crown on one side. On the other side was a thin, gray-faced scholar in dusty clothes, holding his fist under his mouth and coughing intermittently.

Come to gamble when you are sick, it is really desperate.I looked at the profile of the scholar and shook my head, sighing for him.Unexpectedly, this person seemed to have eyes behind his back, but when he turned his head at this moment, the eyes of the two collided.A square and upright face, except for some sick sallowness, there is nothing special about it, but based on my many years of personal experience in the rivers and lakes!

This guy is easy to handle!

He looked into my eyes and grinned, "Come here." His chicken-foot-like index finger pointed at my nose, and he hooked his finger at me after speaking.

Where is this girl so casual?

But I couldn't stand the toss of those casual audiences. As soon as that person said something, someone pushed me into the fire pit in a hurry, and even made a fuss.When I tried my best to break free from the arms and elbows of these meddling people, I found that I was already standing in front of the sick scholar.

Conscience, I didn't come here!

He looked at me smiling happily, moved out half of a stool, and motioned for me to sit down.

I still want to leave, because the smiling face of this man wearing a human skin mask is so fake that people can't help but think of the song "Little rabbit, open the door obediently", but it's because of the strength of his chicken feet. He clasped my wrist, and I said "Hey", and sat down obediently.

I saw him smiling like a trumpet flower, and said to me: "Look, you have never gambled before. It is said that stupid people have stupid luck. I will try this old saying today to see if this old saying is accurate." He didn't wait for me. Fan Maoqian turned his head and smiled sincerely at the young man opposite him.

Hey, I've never gambled before, but it has half a coin to do with stupid people having stupid blessings? !
The young man on the opposite side smiled like Duo Clivia, looking at his clothes, he should be someone from Qingcheng Mountain, he said: "Then please let Boss He drive first."

The man named Boss He bowed his head, approached me with a smile, and whispered, "Help me turn over those two cards."

Although I couldn't understand what they were playing, I could see clearly that this flip was either a win or a loss, and I could also see clearly the chips on Boss He's gambling table, so I couldn't help being curious and asked first: "You gamble and put the silver ticket in the envelope?" inside?"

Boss He looked at me like an ignorant white rabbit, and there were a few spectators laughing from their noses, and an enthusiastic passer-by explained to me: "Little girl, the thing stuffed in the envelope , which is worth more than silver notes."

"What is worth more than a banknote?" Since you think I am ignorant, I will ignorantly break the casserole and ask the end.

Passerby A laughed and announced: "It is the whereabouts of today's martial arts secret treasure."

Huh?
Today's martial arts secret treasure?This girl has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years and it is not in vain. If you want to talk about this secret treasure, you must have heard of it.This story started almost five years ago when the queen died, and I don't know where it started with two nursery rhymes: "The red lotus heart is the supreme martial artist; the white lotus is the most holy in the world." There are two secret treasures in the world, one is the red lotus heart, the winner can become the supreme martial artist, and the other is the white lotus, the winner can sit on the world.

The martial arts secret treasure is naturally talking about Honglian Shenxin.

From ancient times to the present, the imperial court has its laws, and the rivers and lakes have their rules. As long as it is not a matter of principle, there is a clear boundary river on both sides. You look for your red lotus heart, and I look for my white lotus. Don't cross the boundary, and we will all live in peace. .

However, no one knows what this red lotus heart is, is it a piece of precious jade for practicing kung fu?Or is it a pill that has greatly increased internal strength?Or is it an unrivaled martial arts cheat book?The same reason can prove the white lotus.Such a cheat, they still choose to believe.

I had heard of it before, but by coincidence, today I heard about the whereabouts of Honglian Shenxin in this little-known one or two gates. If the martial arts heroes who have broken through their iron shoes know about it, they will be heartbroken and excited For a moment, he forgot the business of coming here tonight, swallowed his saliva and wanted to raise his hand to flip the card.

"You are so anxious to hear Honglian Shenxin, you are not completely stupid." Boss He suddenly shot at the moment when my fingers were about to touch the gambling cards on the table, and pulled my hand back, coughing He smiled and watched me speak.

I wondered, "Brother, didn't you ask me to draw the cards?"

He nodded and admitted: "Let me take a breath first, and then you can look through it."

"I despise your saliva, don't cough on my hand!"

"There is a fairy spirit in my saliva, do you believe it?"

"..." I met my opponent today.

He was very rude to my fist and breathed out, and there was still a smell of wine. "Didn't you be in a hurry just now? Hurry up." He got a bargain and acted like a good boy, urging me to come instead.

In a rage, I slapped the table in front of me without saying a word, staring straight at the pair of star pupils under the man's mask, I took two pictures without even looking at them domineeringly what card.And that guy surnamed He was also very bullish, with an evil smile and firm little eyes in return for me, that expression didn't care if he won or lost.

Sometimes a thought is very long, and sometimes a thought is short.

But I heard the uproar from the audience around the gaming table: "Hey, the two-eight roll is too big, Mr. Liu, you don't need to open it, you already lost." Canister and a piece of eight canisters, this wins? !
Later I learned that this game is nothing more than a game of size. Take out all the tiles in the mahjong tiles, and deal two tiles to each player in a game. The sum of these two tiles is your size. If you add nine tiles to four tiles, Don't think it's [-] o'clock, you can only take the ones digit three, and so on, whoever is bigger wins.The special thing is that two plus eight is obviously a zero duck egg, but according to the rules, it is the biggest to put two and one. Think more deeply, and there are some philosophies of life.

Boss He clapped his hands leisurely, said "OK" twice, stood up and put the envelope on the gaming table back into his arms, and said to Mr. Liu, "I would like to accept the bet, Mr. Liu, I accept it." Then the cock The paw landed on the top of my head and patted me twice, and the aura around me was quite pleasant.

Mr. Liu sighed, with regret on his face, but people in the righteous way pay attention to a dignified appearance, he stood up and bowed his hands to the boss without entanglement, leaving the table fee and leaving.As I knocked off Boss He's chicken feet, I thought about it. Honglian's heart was in the arms of this sick man, and when the young master of the Qingcheng faction came out, he said something like this to the heroes of the rivers and lakes. ...The one surnamed He has become the target of public criticism?

Oh, so he disguised himself!

But what does this matter have to do with me in the end, I suddenly woke up from the cheers, could it be that the current emperor is looking for a doll to enter the palace all over the street, and he is also looking for the white lotus that can sit on the world?Then he said to Boss He beside him: "Be careful!" He wanted to chase Mr. Liu.Mount Qingcheng has some friendship with my master, and the surname Liu is the surname of the head of the Qingcheng sect, so Mr. Liu must have the ability to help me get two pieces of pure Yuanmu to help me escape!
