The wind and snow stopped for a while. The four of them were hungry, and they walked into a prosperous village with their heads held high and their heads hung low. At this moment, it was market time. People were coming and going on the official road of this small town, and the sound of buying rose and fell.
As expected, the Tang Empire was prosperous and the people were well-off. Even a nameless village was bustling with life. The men were healthy, the women were beautiful, and the children were all dressed well. Everyone's faces were filled with joy as if the new year was coming. The people who had been busy for a year were busy purchasing and exchanging goods for the new year.
Only the four of them had dejected expressions and cut themselves off from the people. The excitement from the victory had already disappeared with hunger.
Pig looked around and saw the steaming dumplings on the stall beside him. His throat moved and he kept swallowing his saliva. Seeing this, the peddler shouted,""Guests, come and try the fresh meat dumplings. I guarantee you won't stop praising them.”
Monkey carefully flipped his body and took out the remaining copper coin. He asked loudly,""I don't want the meat stuffing, but how much is a bowl of vegetable stuffing?”
"The meat filling costs five coins, and the vegetable filling costs three coins per bowl," the vendor said.”
He didn't expect that the rate of inflation would reach such a level. Back when I was in Chang 'an, a bowl of vegetarian dumplings cost at most fifty wen.
Monkey had a dejected expression as he clutched his shriveled abdomen and pretended to sigh."I'm just asking. I just ate. I'm full.”However, when he saw the customers wolfing down their food, his eyeballs almost popped out.
"I'm afraid this is not a solution." Pig swallowed his saliva again and said in pain.
"Traveling expenses are a problem." The Beard carefully voiced out his thoughts after some thought.
Stupid Beard, your brain always short-circuits.
Monkey knew that it was all his fault and did not dare to say anything else. He only muttered to himself,"The White Dragon Horse is still the best.”
Monkey really couldn't take it anymore. He was actually tired of being a human to this extent.
I sighed,"It seems that I have no choice but to take action in times of crisis."”
The three of them looked at me in unison. With eyes filled with admiration, Monkey said,""At the critical moment, I still have to rely on Master.”
I pretended to be deep in thought. After thinking for a long time, I looked at everyone's expectant eyes and said indifferently,"How about this, Yichen, you've always been smart. You think of a way to solve everyone's food problem.”
Go! The three of them mocked him and stretched out their hands in disdain.
"Damn it, a bunch of heartless guys. I was also tired by you. If it was just me, as a monk, I would have the ability to beg for food.”
Pig was the first to look down on him. He said disdainfully," You still want to beg for alms? I'm touching your head. Your hair has grown an inch long. You don't even have a kasaya on you. How can you beg for alms like this?"”
It was a waste of time to say it. Wasn't the word 'minister' written in reverse also a 'court'?
Speaking of writing, Pig's expression lit up and he said,""I do have an idea."
Everyone was shocked and said in unison,"Hurry up and summon me."”
Zhu gently fanned himself, bit his head and said proudly,""I have been good at calligraphy since I was young. I have been studying the works of Cui Yuan, Du Du, and other famous masters for a long time. I have deeply grasped the essence of their wild cursive works. The calligraphy world has given me a very high evaluation.”
Shush, just shush. Who doesn't know that you're Mrs. Gao Zhu?
The monkey was not very cultured, so he naturally did not know what kind of people Cui Yuan and Du Du were. He said enviously,""I didn't expect Brother Pig to have such a skill to eat. Doesn't that mean you can set up a stall to sell calligraphy?”
Pig had a smug look on his face as he laughed and said,""Yes, yes."
Monkey was starving. Seeing that there was a way to earn money, he quickly helped find an empty spot, lifted a burden, and took out brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Pig focused his gaze and moved his hands. He wrote a few poems and shouted,"Chang 'an's great scholar's calligraphy is on sale. Those who know the goods are here to take a look.”
The roots of the Imperial City were indeed awesome. Immediately, a crowd of people rushed over. A few aunties commented,"What is written on the couplets?" There were even a few young girls who saw that the pig was good-looking and had some temperament. They went forward to tease it,"Yo yo, big brother, not only are you handsome, but you're also a great talent.”
Zhu Cai was so angry that he thought someone was admiring him. He pointed at the masterpiece and said proudly,""Youth is like snow, time is like an elegy.”
" Go, what are you writing? It's all a mess. I can't understand what you're reading or listening to." The women scattered in a hubbub, and the young girls also said, Look at how fair you are. You can't even speak properly and your handwriting is sloppy."
Pig looked embarrassed.
Monkey and I are ashamed of pigs.
Only the Beard had an expression of admiration as he stared at Zhu Dazao for a long time and praised seriously,""Second Brother is indeed talented in literature. He can draw a few earthworms with great momentum.”
Setting up the stall was a failure, and he wasted a lot of paper and ink.
Monkey played with the last copper coin and pondered for a long time. He suddenly raised his head and said,""It seems that I can only use my trump card.”
Monkey and I were born to be master and disciple, so I naturally knew what Monkey was thinking. I agreed,"That's right. The only thing we can do now is to use money to make money.”
Pig cleaned up the mess and asked,"Why do you use money to make money?"”
With my twenty years of experience in gambling, I couldn't help but say proudly,""Follow me! Let's go to the casino first!"
He listened carefully and heard someone shouting not far away, It's open, it's open." He couldn't help but be delighted.”It had been a long time since he had left Chang 'an that he had not heard the sound of dice. At this moment, hearing it was like hearing immortal music, which made people's spirits shake and swept away their decadent state.
Looking for the sound, he saw a large hall facing the street with the words " Baisheng Casino " written in gold. Just as he reached the door, he could already hear the hustle and bustle inside, making one's blood boil.
The pig and monkey were about to squeeze through the door when I grabbed them and reminded them,"Let's encourage each other first." Pig and Monkey nodded. The four of them hugged each other in a circle and stretched out their right hands to hold each other.
What he wanted was momentum, atmosphere, and confidence. "One, two, three!" The four of them shouted in unison.”
Sure enough, the commotion was astonishing. Even the hoodlums standing at the door thought that there were rich guests and hurriedly welcomed us into the venue.
The Zhuang family's hand is smooth. It seems that only I, the Gambling Saint of Chang 'an, can take down this country bumpkin's prestige.
There was only one chance. Big or small?
This is related to our meal today. Beads of sweat rolled down their necks.
"Big, big, big, bet big." Monkey said nervously.”
Pig quickly stopped and said,"Small, small. It's better to be careful. It's more appropriate to bet on small."
The Beard knew that the situation was tense. He wiped his sweat and said,"Big, big, big and small."
I say, Sha Da, can you learn to be smarter? Don't you know that we only have one copper coin?
The dealer was impatient and urged,"Place your bets quickly.”
Bet big! Killing in all directions! I finally made up my mind. He smashed the copper coin into the large square.
Hush, the wilderness was filled with boos.
The dealer had a strange look on his face as he slowly said,"It's written clearly on the table. Ten wen for the big and small stakes."”
F * ck, all his efforts were in vain.
Amidst the disdainful jeers of the crowd, those hoodlums cursed,"If you don't have money, go home and accompany your wife and child. Don't embarrass yourself!”
As expected, it was a disgrace. The four of them left the casino dejectedly.
At this moment, he was at the end of his rope and did not even have enough gambling capital. How could he make money with money?
Heaven never forsakes a way out. There were pawnshops around the casino. Just as Zhu was feeling dejected, he suddenly saw the word "Dang" and couldn't help but be overjoyed."I was too careless, too careless. I actually didn't think of this method. After buying the horse, I could raise money for my journey.”
Little white dragon, oh little white dragon, don't say that I don't protect you. Even the endangered animals protection law can't save you now.
There was no other way. It was unanimously passed!
When the pawnshop owner heard that he was going to pawn a horse, he couldn't help but frown and sigh,""This horse is so skinny that it's only skin and bones. If I take it, I still need someone to serve it. If I really want to pawn it, it's worth at most one tael of silver and two cents a day.”
A kind man was bullied, and a kind horse was ridden. This was simply too much. Such a horse in Chang 'an was worth at least fifteen taels of silver.
He had no choice but to accept these harsh conditions.
Holding a tael of silver in his hand, he felt that it weighed more than a thousand gold and was extremely precious.
Eat first? It was a problem to go to Hao first!
"Even if you use your butt to think, you will know the answer!" Monkey grabbed the taels of silver and entered the neighboring Hundred Victory Casino again. "Damn monkey, wait for us!" Pig and I followed him. The Beard looked confused and shouted,""I'm hungry!" She followed him in a panic.
When the hoodlums saw that the copper coins in our hands had turned into ingots, they couldn't help but have friendly expressions and greet us happily.
The four of them squeezed into the stage again. The dealer said,"If you want to win, place your bets quickly.”
Big or small? It was still a problem.
The situation did not allow him to think. What he needed now was to burn his bridges.
Brothers working together, they could cut through metal!
All four hands reached out to Big.
This time, we have to fight for a future.
Hahaha, as expected, good fortune comes after bad times. Bet on big, medium, small, medium. Before long, a small mountain had been piled up in front of the four-man platform. It really had the momentum to cover the clouds. The gamblers blushed. They had gained a lot of benefits from following us. They were so envious of us.
Monkey laughed out loud,"Your father's title of Invincible East is not for show!"
Zhu Hongyun said,"My luck has changed!"”
Even Beard, a fool who didn't know how to gamble, blushed and sighed,""So money is so easy to earn. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have caught a bird's fish!" He was so happy that he started to play the game of piling silver ingots.
The dealer's face turned green. It was obvious that he had been beaten silly.
The gambling world's secret was to take advantage of your weakness and take your life!
I shouted,"Don't hum!"
A small mountain of gold ingots was pushed onto the big words. Everyone cried out in alarm. The amount of silver on the table was enough to last a commoner for three to four years. However, to me, who had lost over a million taels of silver, this was not a drop in the ocean.
Correct, it was once a drop in the ocean.
This time, even the dealer's eyes were wide open. This kind of country-level gambling den had never seen such a big spender, let alone the gamblers who were so scared that they did not dare to breathe. Even the monkey and pig widened their eyes and looked at me with reverence.
All the gamblers on the scene followed suit and bet all their money on Big. The Zhuang family's expression became even uglier. If this shop was really big, it was hard to say that this guy would cut off his flesh to repay the debt.
I didn't expect that I would have such a glorious day at the gambling table. This is the effect I wanted to unify the trend of the gambling world!
The teachings of the ancestors: Where you fall, you have to get up from there.
Uncle Min, Yaojin, coachman, Old Fang, from today onwards, I will take back my dignity in the gambling world.
What was my name again? A true man in love, a true hero in gambling.
The dice bell shook.
Monkey, Pig, me, Beard, and everyone else in the room looked at the dice bowl in the dealer's hand.
Everyone's breathing almost stopped.
Stop!
The dice bowl slowly opened.
One, two, three. Six points!
Grayley Sky felt like he had been hit in the head.
His chest ached. Author, you're too ruthless. You're doing everything for the story! Was it interesting to decide everyone's life and death just like that? What's wrong with winning some money? Is it easy for us? Is it easy for us?
Why did everyone have to pay taxes to raise maggots even if they had to scrimp and save?
Why didn't they increase labor when housing prices rose to such a ridiculous level?
Why did the poor, honest man find a slut who had been violated countless times by others?
I want to roar! I want to roar! Society was unfair, authors were unfair, and casinos were unfair! Drinking the blood of the people! Return our hard-earned money!
"Pui, pui, pui, you made us lose money.”All the gamblers cursed.
The four of them walked out of the casino dejectedly. Life, a new beginning.
"Failure is the mother of success!" I encourage everyone. No one cared. At this moment, nothing could agitate everyone.
But suddenly, I saw a snow-white horse waiting for us at the entrance of the small town under the sunlight. The sunlight shone on his strong muscles, and his body shone with a strange light.
Xiaobai! Xiaobai! Xiaobai! The four of them shouted at the same time!
As expected of our good Little White, he knew how to escape from the pawnshop owner.
In this way, after pawning it again and again, wouldn't money beget money?
Instantly, the four of us thought of this wretched idea.
The four of them looked at each other and smiled. Look, hope is ahead!
