Chapter 32: Dare to re-raise a round?
When Yi Mingxue arrived at Xishan, many people were already surrounding her.
And people are coming one after another.
Liu Dong had already arrived first, and was surrounded by people sitting on the bluestone table nearby.
Seeing that Yi Mingxue was late, he couldn't help but joked triumphantly.
"What? I know I'm going to lose today. Do you want to delay it for even a moment?"
The few people who had bet on Liu Dong's victory were smiling so hard that they almost broke out and couldn't wait to start the topic.
"Now that it's all right, both victims have arrived. Can the answer be revealed?"
Yi Mingxue looked around and didn't see the black figure who destroyed her melon field last night.
So he hesitated and said, "Don't worry, there are still many folks who have placed bets who haven't arrived. And it would be boring to lift the lid so early."
"Hahaha, I think you are just afraid of losing!" Liu Dong was sure of winning, and he spoke with confidence, "But sister, the growth of this melon seedling does not take just a moment. It is useless for you to delay it for such a while.
of!"
The rest of the people also chimed in, "That's right, let's face reality! Why don't you obediently offer up the wolf skin."
"Liu Dong is really unlucky. He picked up two wolf skins for nothing." Some people in the crowd couldn't help but sigh.
Yi Mingxue smiled but said nothing.
She placed Yi Yutang on the stone slab aside, called Yi Qingqing, and told her to take good care of her fifth brother and Yi Baoer.
He walked to the center of the crowd, picked up Liu Dong's rabbit and fox skins, and began to inspect the goods.
Liu Dong and his gang thought they were sure to win, so they let her watch.
"Take a good look at it. After all, I will take it back intact before long."
Yi Changle and Yi Tianlei in the crowd were extremely anxious when they saw that the situation was completely one-sided.
Although they arrived early, they were stopped at the foot of the mountain by the middleman who was hosting the gambling game.
No one is allowed to go up the mountain in advance before the answer is revealed.
The two radish dices crowded around Yi Mingxue and whispered, "What should we do? Sister, we won't really lose, will we? We also bet three hundred coins on ourselves to win."
Yi Mingxue patted the two of them on the back comfortingly.
After a short time, the crowd was almost gathered. Most of the people from their village came, and even a lot of people came from the neighboring Longmen Village.
Her gaze was like a torch, scanning the figures of everyone and the shoe prints on the soles of their feet.
Soon, several people suspected of causing sabotage were found in the crowd.
Yi Mingxue was not familiar with the people in Longmen Village, but she was keenly aware that one of the subjects of suspicion was actually standing with Li Chunlan's man.
She already had a rough guess in her mind, and all she had to do next was wait for the fox's tail to reveal itself.
The middleman unfolded the gaming tables that were temporarily stored yesterday.
They also selected three villagers who were relatively reliable in speaking and doing things in public. Later they would be responsible for going into the field to check and reveal the answer.
Just when he was about to announce the start.
Someone in the crowd suddenly said, "Such a fun thing, we didn't catch it yesterday. The lids haven't been opened yet, how about we raise another round?"
Everyone looked up and saw that the person speaking was the man from Longmen Village who had a close relationship with Li Chunlan.
As soon as he said this, someone in the crowd immediately responded.
There are indeed many people who want to take a piece of the action in such a no-suspense situation.
But the people who had placed bets on Liu Dong to win yesterday were not happy! These people clearly wanted to divide Yi Mingxue's three hundred coins.
Now if one more person comes in, he will have to pay a few pennies less.
The two sides argued endlessly, leaving the middleman who organized the game at a loss as to what to do.
Yi Mingxue saw through the man's tricks with a cold eye, and was basically certain that he was the one who secretly caused sabotage last night.
It seemed that Li Chunlan thought she had received too few lessons before and wanted to play dirty with her.
The current situation was tense, and the intermediary had no choice but to call Yi Mingxue and Liu Dong to the center.
He said loudly, "You two are the ones in charge. Now some people want to raise the bet and some don't agree! I'm just a host. It's up to you two to decide whether to raise a round of bets."
Liu Dong was naturally opposed. After all, the group of people who placed the most bets yesterday also had the best relationship with him.
Yi Mingxue glanced at everyone with a smile and said slowly, "I agree to raise the bet! And I want to add another five hundred coins... I bet on myself to win!"
"What?" Liu Dong and his friends were all stunned.
There was also heated discussion among the crowd, "Is Yi Daya crazy?"
"Where did she get so rich that she doesn't take money seriously?"
"Sister Yi, please don't be impulsive!" Orion Liu Er and his brother Liu Da, who had not seen each other for many days, squeezed into the crowd and quickly spoke out to stop Yi Mingxue.
Yi Mingxue smiled at him, turned to Liu Dong and continued to say, "How about it? If I am willing to add money, do you agree to add a round of bets?"
"add!"
"Agree! We must agree!"
After Liu Dong and others reacted, they became ecstatic.
They even wondered if there was something wrong with Yi Mingxue's brain for rushing to give them money.
If Yi Mingxue adds 500 wen, then even if they add a few more people, they will still have a lot of money to scratch.
Only a fool would refuse to agree.
So, the gambling game was opened again.
The people in Longmen Village immediately placed their bets, and each of them invested a lot of money.
By visual inspection, there are several hundred articles in total. It seems that a lot of money was spent on it.
There were also some who really watched the fun, even if they could only dig out a copper plate, they took it out and threw it on the gambling table.
However, what surprised Yi Mingxue was that several people bet on her to win this round.
One is Liu Er, and the other is Uncle Li next door.
Liu Da didn't understand why his brother did this, and immediately asked, "Second brother, what are you doing? Why did you choose her when you knew you were bound to win?"
Liu Er's ears felt a little hot, and he hesitated, "You are obviously bullying people. I am not betting to win money, but to support Sister Yi."
Everyone looked at Uncle Li who was also walking against the current.
Uncle Li took a puff of dry cigarette and said helplessly, "If I don't choose Da Ya, my mother-in-law may scold me later."
"..."
Yi Mingxue was inexplicably moved. The fish she caught was already hooked, so she didn't want to say anything more.
The person in charge took the three witnesses and walked toward the melon field.
The rest of the people all stretched their necks, waiting for the good news to come from them.
Liu Dong and his good brothers have even begun to discuss that they will go to the town in the afternoon to buy a few bottles of wine, weigh two ounces of meat, and come back to celebrate.
However, it took a long time.
Nothing they wanted to hear came from the mountains.
Several witnesses looked surprised at first, and then they all lay down in the melon field and observed and looked at it carefully.
Except for Yi Mingxue, everyone present held their breath.
After a long while, I saw the person in charge running quickly down the mountain.
He shouted loudly...
Chapter completed!
