sweet wife little confused

Chapter 92 Return to the Arena

"I have something to do in the county." An Xiu'er didn't dare to tell Liang Shi the truth. It's best if their cricket can get the first place. What if their cricket doesn't get the ranking and is disabled by other crickets? She said it out loud at the moment, and it would make Liang Shi and others happy for nothing.

"Okay, you kid has a big idea, so it's fine if you don't tell mother." Liang was like a child, pretending to be angry, turning her head aside.

An Xiu'er won't be fooled by her, she looks like she is pretending, but she is old after all, her face is full of wrinkles, the same expression, let her make it, it will always be a little less charming , which means more than two points of twilight.

"Mother, don't ask me any more. We have something to do in the county seat. We might be able to give you a surprise when we come back." An Xiu'er put her arms around her arm with a smile, half pushed her to the kitchen, and said, "Okay Mother, hurry up and cook, I'm starving."

"I'll go right away." Hearing her daughter said that she was hungry, Mrs. Liang forgot that she was angry just now, said something back, and went to the kitchen.

An Xiu'er glanced at An Ronghe, and made a silent movement with her hand on her lips, An Ronghe nodded, ran to An Xiu'er's side, and whispered to her: "Don't worry, aunt, I won't Said it."

"Yes, this is our secret." An Xiu'er bowed and whispered in his ear.

"But I also want to go to the county seat." An Ronghe began to act like a baby to her.

"Good boy, this time I'm going with your second uncle on business, next time I'll take you there." An Xiu'er herself also followed the steward Wu, but she didn't dare to bring An Ronghe with her.

"But, daddy is in the county." An Ronghe pouted and said, "I haven't seen him for more than half a year."

Seeing the child's disappointed look, An Xiu'er felt a little soft-hearted, but she knew that her eldest brother definitely didn't want his child to see him like this, so she could only comfort her: "Next time, next time, I will ask your second uncle to take you to county seat."

An Ronghe nodded obediently, and Old An, who was on the side, watched the two talking intimately, and squeezed out a smile from the vertical and horizontal wrinkles on his face. Mrs. Dong came from the kitchen to see the two, and said something, "What are your aunts and nephews mumbling about here?"

"Second Sister-in-law..." An Xiu'er raised her head to greet Dong Shi, and said, "You can ask Second Brother what we are talking about."

"What's the matter, you go to the town, everyone is talking about it, let me tell you, although you have sold this cricket for a lot of money, you can't eat or wear it, in case someone doesn't buy it someday , then you guys are throwing your hands away? No matter what, you still have to do farm work well, Dad, do you think this is the case?"

"Well, your second sister-in-law is right." Father An nodded slightly.

An Xiu'er was taught humbly, "Yes, yes, you are all right, we are just playing for fun, how can we expect to make money, do you think it is the second brother?"

"Yes, we're just playing around." An Tiemu also scratched his head with a simple and honest look.

"Tch, you two just pretend, look at your smug expressions." Mrs. Dong shook her head, but she also had a happy look on her face.

These silver taels are indeed a huge sum of money for this poor family, no wonder everyone is so happy, An Xiuer is also very happy, she really wants to take the two taels of silver that belonged to her, and run to Zhang Zhenan and say: Mr. Xiang, we have money, so you don't have to go out to work.

However, he has already left.

She thought it over, she must work hard to make money, so that her husband and wife will not be separated because of money.

Today, the whole family is very happy. There is a large bowl of white rice on the table, which is full of food, and the dishes are also very rich. There are fish and meat. The smiles on the faces of Mrs. Alas, An Xiuer really hopes that her family can be happy like this forever.

After eating, An Tiemu and An Xiu'er hurried to the town with their cages in their hands. When they arrived at the restaurant, Guanshi Wu and Guanshi Deng had just finished eating, and the four of them sat and chatted for a while. Just got up and left.

Both Guanshi Wu and Guanshi Deng have hired boats, and their boats are much more luxurious than An Xiuer's small wooden boat. They have invited them several times to sit on their boats, but An Xiuer still feels that An Sheng, who was on board his ship, politely declined their offer.

I've been to the county seat once, but this time, An Xiu'er's heart was at peace. The bustling journey along the way could no longer disturb her heart. She only walked on An Tiemu's right side, silently following behind Wu Guanshi and the other two.

Turning east and west all the way, An Xiu'er felt as if she hadn't walked this road last time, but when the two stopped walking, An Xiu'er found that this place looked familiar.

Looking up, isn't this the gladiatorial arena I visited last time?
An Xiu'er's heart suddenly became a little nervous, she was a little afraid that she would meet An Tieshi here, if her second brother saw his elder brother doing such a thing, I don't know how sad he would be.

Maybe they won't be able to meet them. After all, their backyard is tightly guarded. As long as the eldest brother is not on the field, he should not be able to see them. Just wait until he doesn't let the second brother go to the arena to watch.

And the last time she went home she lied that she didn't see An Tieshi, if she saw him later, she would just pretend she didn't know.

Guanshi Wu seemed to have said something to the two guards. The two guards confiscated their money and let them in. When they entered the arena, Guanshi Deng bowed his hands to the two of them, saying that there were other things to do. He walked sideways and left first, leaving only Guanshi Wu to accompany him.

An Xiu'er and the two of them didn't care, anyway, along the way, it was Wu Guanshi who talked most of the time, while Deng Guanshi was mostly silent.

After walking a few steps, the familiar sound waves hit him wave after wave. Steward Wu said with pride on his face, "Listen, this is our arena. It's so lively. Did you hear that?" Does it make your blood boil?"

"Yes." An Tiemu nodded, he obviously misunderstood, "I didn't expect that the little cricket fight could cause so many people to shout."

Steward Wu laughed when he heard this, and An Xiu'er explained from the side: "Second brother, this arena is not just about fighting crickets, I heard that there are also cockfights, beasts, and gladiators!"

"This girl is right." Manager Wu didn't laugh at the two of them, he just said: "In our arena, fighting crickets is just one of them, what really makes people's blood boil is the contest between fighting beasts and gladiators! "

"It's because I don't know much." An Tiemu knew he had misunderstood, and blushed a little, but he also readily admitted his mistake and admitted his shallow knowledge.

Hearing what he said, Steward Wu didn't want to hurt him any more, so he said: "Brother An is an honest person at first glance, it's normal that he doesn't have any contact with these things on weekdays."

As he spoke, he continued to lead the two of them forward. The cricket fighting venue was on the left side of the arena. After walking through a small path and a Chaoshou corridor, a flower hall appeared in front of him.

"This cricket fight is watched by a small number of people, but it's not as grand as a beast fight." Steward Wu said while leading the two of them inside.

However, this place is not just a small crowd watching as Guanshi Wu said, in fact, there are quite a few people sitting here, seeing Guanshi Wu leading An Xiuer and the two of them in, these people raised their eyes lazily After taking a look, he continued to stare at the fighting cup in front of him.

"You guys also find a place to sit down. It seems that everyone has already started. This round will be considered as your bye. I will let them match with you when there are people." Wu Guanshi led An Xiuer and the two to find He sat down in a seat, and soon a maid came over to serve tea.

An Xiu'er was holding the tea, watching the actions in the arena, Wu Guanshi didn't say much to the two of them, he just said: "They have already started fighting, you can go and have a look, when it starts, I will call again you."

An Xiu'er was not interested, but An Tiemu was already eager to try it. Hearing Wu Guanshi's words, he pleaded guilty to him, so he went to wander around in the flower hall.

An Xiu'er was also secretly looking at these people, and found that when they were fighting crickets, their behaviors were also different, some were extremely excited, with bulging veins on their foreheads, some were very calm and calm, and some showed Very indifferent, and even have time to chat with the person opposite.

An Xiu'er hadn't been observing for a long time, and there was a winner in the field. Wu Guanshi called An Tiemu and asked him to prepare for the competition.

When An Tiemu sat across from his opponent, he was still a little dazed. He looked up at Guanshi Wu and said, "This brother's cricket just had a fight, so don't you really need to rest for a while?"

"No, we are playing a series match in the arena today, otherwise you think 100 taels of silver is such a good profit?" At this time, Wu Guanshi gave An Tiemu a cold look, not as kind as before.

An Tiemu pursed his lips, and stopped talking. When An Xiuer heard that Steward Wu had someone number 99 for the cricket in their hands, he had someone put its number on the small gambling game set up in the arena, and let them go Guess.

It's not a guess who will win and who will lose, but how many rounds it can go. An Xiu'er saw that the densely packed wall has the highest odds to be the king.

An Xiu'er knew that this cricket of hers was used for nothing in the arena, after a few rounds like this, this cricket would definitely be crippled.

She glanced at An Tiemu, he is a kind person, the death of the former general left no shadow in his heart, and finally started again, but it happened again.

However, there was no sadness on An Tiemu's face. Instead, he became solemn. He picked up the grass leaves prepared in the arena and gently stroked the cricket. When he put down the grass leaves, someone The two crickets were poured into the cup.
