Chapter 182: Jucaizhuang

Huang Xiuhua sat on the stool, lowered her head slightly, looked at her toes, and sighed softly: "I don't know..."
She looked at the old man lying on the hospital bed again and said, "Actually, I don't want this yard, but this is the place where my grandfather worked hard all his life. My grandfather doesn't want to leave, nor does he want this yard to be sold by that wild dog..."
Li Xiaoran walked to the bed and touched the old man's forehead with his hands on his back.
"That was the case last time. The doctor said that my grandfather was so angry that he fainted from anger. He just needed to rest for a while... I didn't expect that someone would cause trouble again today..."
Li Xiaoran didn't know any medical skills, but looking at Mr. Huang's appearance at the moment, it was impossible to ask the other party to be his guide.
Immediately, Li Xiaoran sighed.
Huang Xiuhua asked, "By the way, I haven't asked for advice yet, why did the young master come to my house?"
Li Xiaoran explained: "That's right. I'm looking for centuries-old ginseng, snow lotus, Polygonum multiflorum and other precious medicines. I heard that there should be on Wumeng Mountain, so I want to ask Mr. Huang to be my guide for a while..."
"Wumeng Mountain?" Huang Xiuhua was slightly stunned when he heard this and said, "Although there are many treasures of medicine on Wumeng Mountain, it is also extremely dangerous. You, young master..."
Li Xiaoran waved his hand and said, "Those beasts in Xushan are not worth mentioning to me! The problem is, I don't understand the environment in the mountains and the growth habits of those precious medicines, so I need a guide."
He sighed and said, "I found this place after listening to other people's advice, but since Mr. Huang is inconvenient, I don't have to bother..."
Huang Xiuhua thought that since Li Xiaoran could handle a group of gossips holding sticks alone, even if he encountered tigers, leopards, wealth and wolves in the mountains, even if he couldn't beat them, he would probably leave safely.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiuhua took a few steps forward and said, "Young Master, please stay. The little girl followed her grandfather up the mountain to collect herbs since she was a child. She dared not say that she had learned all her skills, but she thought she had mastered 70% to 80%! If the young master did not dislike the little girl's poor skills, the little girl would rather follow her to Wumeng Mountain to be a guide after she settled her grandfather!"
"Can you be a guide?"
When Li Xiaoran heard this, his face was happy.
Huang Xiuhua nodded and said, "I'm just afraid that after I leave, my grandfather will be alone and no one will take care of me, so I asked the young master to wait until the little girl settled her grandfather before preparing to set off!"
In addition to her own preparation, she also asked Li Xiaoran to prevent the golfer from coming to cause trouble when the two of them were away.
Li Xiaoran naturally understood what she meant, but still nodded and said, "No problem! By the way, do you know where those bandits of golfers usually stay? I'll talk to them about something."
Huang Xiuhua said: "In the market south of the town! Most of the shops in that market are run by big men in the county. They usually do business for those masters and outsiders! There is a money-jue village in the market, which is the territory of the wanderers in the town!"
Li Xiaoran nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!"
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
There is a small market to the south of Zhuti Town, which is not large in scale, but it is one of the few trading shopping places in this town.
As soon as Li Xiaoran walked in, he could see a conspicuous building as soon as he looked up. Above the door, the three big words "Jucaizhuang" were written in gold stamping!
Li Xiaoran approached, and even when he stood at the door, he could hear the noisy shouts inside.
"Is it a casino?"
Li Xiaoran was stunned.
There were two powerful men holding sticks standing at the door of Jucai Village. With just a pair of fierce eyes like a wolf and tiger, many people felt scared.
Li Xiaoran walked into it calmly, and the two men did not stop him.
Zhuti Town is right next to Zhuti County, so many gorgeously dressed young men come here to have fun every day.
And in the eyes of these men, Li Xiaoran is just one of them.
As soon as I walked into the interior of Jucai Village, the almost crazy shouts became even louder.
Li Xiaoran carried his hands behind his back and walked around the casino.
Those who gamble on the first floor of this casino were all ordinary people dressed in ordinary clothes. Although they shouted loudly, there was not much money on the gambling table. Most of them were mainly copper coins, mixed with some broken silver.
Li Xiaoran looked around and found that there was no one in charge of the business except for a few people in charge of the banker on the first floor.
He shook his head and walked towards the stairs in the house.
The man guarding the stairs stopped Li Xiaoran and said, "If you want to go to the second floor, you have to pay five taels of silver first!"
Li Xiaoran took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it to the other party.
The man held it in his hand and weighed it, estimating the right weight, so he nodded and said, "Go up!"
"Help me keep it!" Li Xiaoran said, and then walked up the stairs.
The man said, "These five taels of silver will not be refunded!"
Li Xiaoran did not answer the conversation.
He walked up the second floor.
The atmosphere on the second floor of Jucai Village is much quieter than on the first floor, and the surrounding decoration has become more elegant.
In the place with the most people on the second floor, the dealer said, "Buy it and leave!"
Everyone bets one after another. Although there were only seven or eight people in total, the total amount of bets was a total of thousands of taels of silver!
"Do you bet? I'll do it too!"
Li Xiaoran walked over and took out another piece of silver from his arms. After thinking about it, he put it in the middle of the gambling table.
"Buy three six?"
Everyone saw that someone bought a leopard and couldn't help but look at Li Xiaoran, but when they saw that Li Xiaoran was betting on a piece of silver, they shook their heads.
Someone said, "Boy, are you buying a leopard with a piece of silver? Are you crazy about winning money?"
Li Xiaoran turned to look at him and asked, "Can't you buy this?"
"It's natural that you can do it, but it's different whether you can win!" the man smiled.
At this gambling table, the leopard has the highest odds, but the chance of opening is slim!
Seeing Li Xiaoran's actions, the dealer didn't say anything. He shouted: "Buy it and leave it! Get it!"
After saying that, he opened the lid of the dice cup and said loudly: "Four, five or six o'clock, big!"
After the words came, the dealer took out a long stick, transferred the small bets to his side, and also cut off the pieces of Li Xiaoran's broken silver.
Chapter completed!
