Chapter 228 The truth is revealed(1/4)
Xia Mengxi also opened the sieve cup, and the four dice inside were four, four, five, and six. She really lost.
There were people at the gambling table, some laughing and some sad.
Xia Zhong was so happy that he rushed to the gambling table to grab some money.
"Come on, come on! Go on, this one is bigger, fifty taels! Do you dare?" Xia Zhong shouted.
Xia Mengxi twisted her waist and giggled: "Master Xia is just kidding, fifty taels, why do you call it big? What's more fun? It's not exciting at all."
"Oh..."
As soon as these words came out, there were exclamations all around. Fifty taels of silver in one bet is really a lot. Xia Zhong can only make fifteen taels of silver in a month. And you must know that these fifty taels are just a "base". If you are unlucky,
You may lose four to five hundred taels of silver in one hand.
An ordinary person cannot earn this kind of money in his lifetime.
"What the hell," Xia Zhong scolded with a smile, "You said the more you talk, the more you talk. How much is fun, how much is exciting?"
Xia Mengxi thought about it for a moment, then said with a smile: "Master Xia, how about we add more, a hundred taels of silver in a handful?"
Xia Zhong only brought a total of four to five hundred taels of gambling money this time. If it was a hundred taels in one hand, he might lose it all and still owe money. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"It's boring..." The woman pursed her lips and glanced at Xia Zhong, obviously with a bit of contempt.
How could Xia Zhong be willing to be looked down upon by a girl? In an instant, his blood surged, and he didn't care about anything. He slammed the table: "Damn it, one hundred taels is only one hundred taels. It's not like I can't afford it." Cong Huai.
He took out two large ingots of silver, each of which contained fifty two kinds. They were heavy and placed on the table, making a "bang" sound.
"Okay, Mr. Xia is so brave. I will play with Mr. Xia tonight." She waved her hand back, and someone sent her money.
The two of them held the sieve cup again and started shaking it.
"open!"
This time Xia Mengxi opened the cup first, and the four dice were divided into three, three, four, and five. It was not too big, but it was not too small either.
Xia Zhong's heart was pounding. He calmed down and suddenly opened the sieve cup. Not only himself, but also the gamblers around him craned their necks to take a look. The four dice inside were divided into two, three, five and six.
.
Jing Er happens to be a little bigger.
"Hahaha..." Xia Zhong was ecstatic, he made a hundred taels in this one move.
Shen Moyan was just watching, but he also felt that his heart was beating very violently when the sieve cup was opened, let alone Xia Zhong who participated in it. This kind of stimulation is hard to find in the world and is too tempting.
This is why it is so difficult to quit gambling once it is involved. Gamblers enjoy the excitement of gambling, which makes them lose interest in other things. They only know gambling all day long, addicted to it, and confused. Even if they lose all their wealth, they still have a good life.
People are not like humans, and ghosts are not like ghosts, but they are still hard to extricate themselves from.
Shen Moyan shook his head and said in his heart: "This thing is so deceptive to people's hearts. You must not be contaminated by it while you are alive."
Next, Xia Zhong and Xia Mengxi gambled several more times, with each winning and losing. After all, Xia Zhong still made a small profit.
At this time, Xia Mengxi suddenly said: "I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore, it's boring." As he said this, he pushed down the sieve cup in front of him. The dice jumped out and rolled along the table to the ground. Everyone around the table bent down.
Pick up.
And she turned to leave.
"Hey! How can we leave? Stop!" Xia Zhong was in high spirits, but he was not willing to close the tent.
Xia Mengxi stopped and smiled half-heartedly: "Master Xia has already defeated me by one hundred and eighty taels, what else can I do?"
"What do you say?" Xia Zhongda smiled lazily, "You said you will stay with me all night."
"But I have no money anymore. I want to accompany you, but I can't." He touched the purse hanging on his slim waist, "You have to have some money for food and drink, right?"
"Whatever food and drink you have left, you've lost it all, and I can still support you." Xia Zhong raised his eyebrows and winked.
"Bah, that's not serious." Xia Mengxi spat, laughing and scolding.
She is a frequent visitor to this gambling house and almost lives here. She is said to be married and a monk in the Purple Gold Realm, but her husband has never been here.
All the gamblers coveted her beauty, but they were really afraid that she might actually have a husband in the purple and gold realm, so most of them just stared at her, while a few boldly dared to talk.
Xia Zhong stood up: "Young lady, you absolutely can't move, you must play a few more games!"
"Master Xia, I have a hunch that if you continue to play, I'm afraid you will lose."
Xia Zhong didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "If I lose, wouldn't it be what you want?"
"Okay, let's play some more." Xia Mengxi slowly swayed her waist and hips and sat back down.
The two picked up the sieve cup and started shaking it again.
After shaking it for a while, there were two "dong dong" sounds, and the sieve cup was placed on the table. The two looked at each other and stood still. Xia Zhong was so excited that he couldn't help but open it first.
When he lowered his head and looked at it, he was shocked. He had bad luck this time. Although there was one five on the four dice, there were two ones and one two. The total was only nine points, but he lost more than he won.
Xia Mengxi looked at Xia Zhong with a smile, but was reluctant to open the sieve cup.
"What are you waiting for? Reveal it quickly!" Xia Zhong yelled.
"What's so bad? Isn't this the beginning?" Xia Mengxi slowly raised her right hand, and there were four dice in the cup, three sixes and one five.
Twenty-three points, fourteen points older than Xia Zhong.
"Ah!" The whole place was in an uproar, and several people who bet on Xia Zhong's victory shook their heads and sighed. Fortunately, they only bet on the win or loss of both sides, and it doesn't matter how big the idea is.
But Xia Zhongke was in trouble. He was fourteen points higher and lost four hundred taels in one hand. Not only did he lose all the money he won in half the night, but he also lost more than one hundred taels to the opponent.
Xia Mengxi was not too proud, she just said: "Master Xia, let's stop here today, right?"
"No!"
Gamblers won't stop playing when they win, and they won't stop playing when they lose.
Xia Mengxi didn't push it too far, and the two competed again.
Xia Zhong's four dice were divided into two, three, and five. Her four dice were divided into five, five, six, and six.
Xia Zhong lost another two hundred taels. He was furious at the loss and refused to stop. As a result, he lost another one. He had lost all his money and still owed more than fifty taels.
Xia Mengxi stood up three times and said, "Okay, Mr. Xia, I will wipe out the money you owe me. Let's play again later."
"Wait a minute!" Xia Zhongyintang turned black, his eyes were red, and he roared viciously, "Come on!"
Xia Mengxi folded her hands under her chest and tilted her head to look at Xia Zhong: "Master Xia, it's not that I don't want to accompany you. It's just that there are rules on this gambling table. You can't owe money if you don't have money. If you want to continue playing, come back with money."
Bar."
At this point, I yawned and said, "Okay, I'm tired and I'm going to sleep."
"Who said I have no money?" Xia Zhong suddenly took out a small bundle from his arms and spread it out on the table. It was purple gold clay.
Shen Moyan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Isn't this handful of soil the evidence?
This clay was naturally obtained by Xia Zhong from Miaoji. When Miaoji completed the practice that day, he couldn't wait to snatch the Five Elements tribute and make it his own. Miaoji dared to be angry but dared not say anything.
The other four items have already been exchanged for silver, leaving only the purple gold clay that has not yet been sold. Purple gold clay can be used to cultivate many spiritual plants, and it is also very expensive. The Mingzong sect often buys it in large quantities, but it is not easy to sell just a handful, so
Haven't found a suitable buyer yet.
"This handful is made of purple gold clay. It's a full kilogram. The market price is five hundred taels of silver. The current price is four hundred taels. How about we take a gamble?"
Xia Mengxi stretched out her hand slowly, grabbed the bundle, held it up to her eyes and looked at it again and again, then threw it on the table and said lazily: "Two hundred taels, no more."
"You...the price you gave me is not very generous!" Xia Zhong said dissatisfied.
Xia Mengxi glanced sideways at Xia Zhong and said, "Why are you being so ungrateful? I'm not sure whether this soil is genuine or not, and even if it's genuine, it's not money in your hands after all. It's up to you when you can find a buyer.
You sell it to me for two hundred taels. If you think it's cheap, sell it to someone else."
"Does anyone want three hundred taels?" Xia Zhong shouted, but no one cared.
Most of the people in the casino are gamblers who don't know anything about purple gold clay. Although there are a few monks from sects, they can't use it. Although the price of three hundred taels is very low, no one cares about it.
Shen Moyan wanted to buy it, but he couldn't show up rashly, so he had to give up.
Xia Zhong's gambling addiction was at its peak, and he didn't care that two hundred taels was too low. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, two hundred taels is two hundred taels!"
Xia Mengxi put a smile on her pretty face again: "Master Xia, let's not play with one another. We only bet big or small. We don't care about the specific winning or losing points. Just one. I win. The clay belongs to me. You win."
I'll give you two hundred taels of silver.
Besides, girl, I'm really tired, this is the last game, no matter I win or lose, I'll leave after the game. How about it?"
"Come quickly!" Xia Zhong couldn't wait.
Outside the casino, above the sky, the missing moon was setting in the west, its light fading away. But the sun had not yet risen, the stars were dim, and the sky and the earth were pitch black.
This is the eve of dawn, and it is also the quietest time of the day in major towns. The people in the city are still sleeping soundly, and the theaters, brothels and gambling houses have also stopped.
The big man guarding the door of Changsheng Casino saw off the last crying gambler and started to come to the door.
To the south of the gambling house, in a long and narrow alley, Xia Mengxi was walking slowly forward with a lantern. As he walked, he frequently raised his hands to cover his mouth and yawned, saying to himself: "You stinking fool, I have to pull you."
I’ll bet and you’ll lose all your pants.” She touched her bulging money bag and felt very happy.
After more than a hundred steps, we turned into a dead end, where a thin man was crouching. When he saw Xia Mengxi, he stood up quickly, nodded and bowed.
Xia Mengxi took out a small piece of broken silver from her waist, threw it to him and said: "Next time you change the dice, you have to be more agile... If the other party hadn't been stupid today, he would have been discovered. Let me tell you, if he was discovered
