Chapter 57 Gamblers(1/2)
Zhou Zishu thought that his movements were very light, but who knew that the people in the room seemed to have noticed it already, and actually raised their heads so loudly that they met his eyes.
Zhou Zishu was stunned for a moment, then he saw the man smiling at him, and he was embarrassed to be too petty. He turned over and came down from the roof, gently knocked on the window, and said loudly: "Uninvited guest, please forgive me."
The window was pushed open from the inside, and a man in plain clothes stood inside, holding a cup of tea in his hand. His eyes lingered on Zhou Zishu's face, then he glanced at Wen Kexing, smiled, and asked softly:
"If you two want to watch it together, you can knock on the door and come in. Why do you need to be so sneaky?"
His voice seemed to be hollow when he spoke, especially soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something if he spoke too loudly. He looked like a gentle man, with single eyelids and a fearful nose, but he looked very human-like. Just looking at his face, it was really
I can't tell that he is actually the leader of the scorpions who has lacked virtue for eight lifetimes.
Zhou Zishu was naturally thick-skinned. He didn't feel embarrassed at all when he heard this. He said calmly and generously: "Thank you for your kindness - that's not necessary. To be honest, we came to ask for something."
The big scorpion glanced at him and muttered: "People who come to me probably only have two things to do. Either they want my children to kill people and set fires, or they come to ask who asked my children to go there."
Those who commit murder and arson, given your abilities, I’m afraid they are the second type, right?”
Zhou Zishu said calmly: "Not bad."
Scorpion put the teacup aside, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at him playfully: "Then what can you give me?"
Zhou Zishu said confidently: "You can just mention it."
Scorpion saw that he was very generous and had a rich and confident look on his face, so he frowned slightly - generally speaking, people like this are either too arrogant and think that there is nothing they can't accomplish by themselves.
It's something that I can't get, or... I just made up my mind and decided to refuse the debt.
No matter how much you ask for, I will never sit back and pay you back. I will just give you the money.
Scorpion said slowly: "Is it possible that I asked you to sleep with me for a night and you would agree?"
Zhou Zishu looked at his face critically, then roamed around his waist, legs and butt before reluctantly agreeing: "Okay."
Wen Kexing, who was listening with great interest, immediately protested: "No! We have been sleeping in the same bed for so long, and I have never seen you agree so happily!"
Zhou Zishu raised his eyelids at him and asked: "What do I want to ask, do you know the answer?"
Wen Kexing choked.
But Scorpion laughed, licked his lips, and turned his eyes viciously between the two of them. Then he took out a small jar from his arms, shook it twice, poured out two dice, held it in his hand, and whispered
: "How about this, you gamble with me, if you win a round with me, I will tell you something, if you lose a round with me..."
Wen Kexing whispered to Zhou Zishu: "I finally understand why he is so anxious to make money. With this hobby, no matter how big his family fortune is, he can't defeat him. Have you never heard that 'if you focus on making money, your eyes will turn red'?"
, Three meals are tasteless, limbs are weak, five industries are wasted, six relatives are not recognized, seven orifices are filled with smoke, and all directions are borrowed...'"
Zhou Zishu stepped on him.
Xie Zi chuckled and said: "What you say makes sense, but isn't this life a big gamble? Many people want to kill me. If I die, they will win. If I don't die, they will always be worried.
I'm uneasy, I don't know what day the reminder will come. You said, if your life is smooth and smooth, wouldn't it be too boring?"
Zhou Zishu interrupted the profound discussion about life between the two young men and asked: "What if I lose a round to you?"
Scorpion glanced at him sideways and said slowly and calmly: "Don't worry, I don't want your money or your life. If you lose a game, you two will have a show for me. It will make me feel refreshed."
——It’s just that the two of you have weighed it up and realized that if you lose too much, it won’t end well.”
Zhou Zishu said categorically without saying a word: "See you later."
At the same time, Wen Kexing exclaimed, "I think this bet is quite good!"
Zhou Zishu pretended not to know him and walked out indifferently. Xie Zi said behind him: "I'm scared. Just now you asked me to make a random price."
Zhou Zishu kept walking and said in an understatement: "I'm already a very old man, so let's forget about provocation."
Wen Kexing said with a smile: "Um...Brother Scorpion, please forgive me, this guy in my family is good at everything else, but he has a tender face and is too thin-skinned..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zishu turned back to Xie Zi with an expressionless expression, "What do you want to bet on?"
Sometimes, the provocative method doesn't work, but it depends on who is using it.
Just as Scorpion raised the small dice cup in his hand, Zhou Zishu sneered and said, "It's just a small trick. I'm afraid we won't be able to tell the winner even if we spend the night together."
Scorpion frowned, thought for a while, turned around and walked into the house. Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu jumped in from the window. They saw Scorpion pulled out a pack of small needles as thin as cow hair, and Zhou Zishu frowned.
Wrinkled - he had touched this thing before.
The scorpion picked up a small needle, licked it gently with the tip of his tongue, and said, "This one hasn't had time to quench the poison yet. Why don't we make a bet and see who eats more?"
Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing looked at each other. At that moment, the two of them understood each other, and at the same time they were thinking - why is Ye Baiyi not here?
The scorpion narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to bite. The needle was like a noodle.
He is still a tough guy.
Scorpion asked with a smile: "Are you two gambling or undressing?"
Wen Kexing seemed to really want to choose the latter. Zhou Zishu suddenly picked up a wine glass from the table, opened his own wine flask, poured a full glass, reached out and picked up two needles, pinched them on his fingertips, and
The small needle turned into a pile of powder and melted into the wine in a blink of an eye. He raised his head and glanced at Scorpion. Scorpion was quite graceful and raised his hand to ask him to invite him first. Zhou Zishu frowned and drank all the wine in the glass.
, shining the bottom of the cup, Wen Kexing watched his expression with cold eyes, feeling that the taste of the wine would probably not be better than the one with walnuts.
Xie Zi smiled and said: "Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you eat with wine like this, it will take up more space in your stomach than if I eat dry food. Could it be that you two want to deal with me together?"
Wen Kexing hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I don't have the elegance and teeth to do it. You can do it yourself."
Zhou Zishu suddenly smiled and said, "I ate two and you ate one. I think it's enough to beat you."
Before he finished speaking, he made a cunning move and slapped his hand on the table. Those fine needles flew up in all directions, and a cold light filled the air. Scorpion felt a strong force coming towards him. He subconsciously shouted and bent down.
He flashed past and looked back, only to see that all the ox-hair needles on the table were rubbing against his body and nailed into the wall. They were several inches deep. He tried to take them out but couldn't get them out.
Wen Kexing couldn't help but say hello, thinking that Ah Xu's move was really shameless, just like his own style, and he was worthy of singing and doing whatever he wanted.
Xie Zi frowned, then slowly opened his eyebrows, and still asked calmly: "Brother, what is your surname?"
Zhou Zishu said: "No need to give your surname Zhou."
Xie Zi nodded: "Brother Zhou has good skills and good thoughts, but..."
He stretched out his palm, and a thin needle lay flat on his palm. Scorpion handed it to his mouth and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's a tie this time."
Zhou Zishu, however, calmly stretched out his palm, and saw that he had hidden a needle in his palm at some point. He did not want to eat it, but just brought the needle to the scorpion and compared it -
Scorpion's expression suddenly changed, and then he realized that the one on his hand was actually a length shorter, and had been cut off in half by this person's palm force at some point.
Zhou Zishu crushed the fine needle in his hand into powder and said with a smile: "Two to one and a half, how do you say it?"
Scorpion stared at him fiercely. Both Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu thought he was going to make trouble. Who knew that this big Scorpion was not a very good character, but his gambling products were not bad. After a moment, he turned away indifferently and said: "Okay, I wish.
I admit defeat, what do you want to ask?"
Zhou Zishu said: "Apart from Sun Ding, who paid for Zhang Chengling's life?"
Xie Zi paused, looked at the two of them again, seemed to understand something, and said: "Zhang Chengling? Oh, I know who you two are... It's just that my people lost track of you in Dongting. I didn't expect it.
I've found this place, it's so magical - follow me."
As he spoke, he lifted up the bed board and got in, followed closely by Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing.
The two of them followed the scorpion all the way into a secret passage - this place was rouge and pink on the outside, but it was eerie and strange inside. The scorpion led the two of them all the way around, and they didn't know how many steps they went down.
At this point, Zhou Zishu and the two men looked around and saw that this place was a dungeon. Muffled, human-like but not human-like roars could be heard everywhere, and the two of them couldn't help but be on guard.
Scorpion took off the torch on the wall, stood in front of a cage, and said with a half-smile: "You two can come and take a look at this thing. We must be old acquaintances."
While he was speaking, perhaps stimulated by the light, a pale shadow suddenly rushed towards the scorpions, and was blocked by the cell door. Then it bared its teeth and claws at them with a ferocious expression. Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing could see clearly what was inside.
A monster was imprisoned, which was exactly the same as the human-like and non-human monster they encountered in that mysterious cave!
I saw the scorpion looking at the monster with gentle eyes, as if it were a peerless beauty, and whispered softly: "These are our medicine people. They are human before one year old, but they have been fed with medicine since they turned one year old.
He has been raised to this day, and is born with a body of copper and iron bones, and a murderous spirit. He is really a good child...but he is not very obedient. It may be that the medicine he used hurt his brain, and he needs to improve it in the future."
The amusement on Wen Kexing's face disappeared, and he asked in a deep voice: "Did you decorate that crypt, and the buyer is a ghost with a long tongue?"
Scorpion said: "Not bad."
Wen Kexing interrupted him and said: "Fart, I have killed the long-tongued ghost. Who will be chasing Zhang Chengling in Dongting next?"
A sly smile appeared on Scorpion's face and he said: "I only said that the buyer is a long-tongued ghost. I didn't say that there was no one behind him."
Zhou Zishu said: "Ah, this is another question. Do you mean that if you want to know the answer, you have to bet again?"
Xiezi bowed slightly and said, "Brother Zhou, please forgive me."
Zhou Zishu tossed his sleeves impatiently: "What do you want to bet on?"
Xie Zi smiled and said: "Betting on those gadgets, I am not as good as Brother Zhou, nor am I as clever as Brother Zhou. I am afraid I am going to lose again. Why don't we resign ourselves to fate, go up from here, go out to the street, and one of you two
How about blindfolding a person, and then touch the stone lion at the street corner with his hand and start counting to see if the twentieth person passing by is a man or a woman?"
Wen Kexing couldn't help but said: "This bet is very meaningless. I don't see any benefit to you."
Scorpion said calmly: "It doesn't matter what you bet on. To me, the important thing is the word gamble. It's just like others who want to eat when they are hungry and drink when they are thirsty. If I don't let me gamble, I won't be able to live... What do you think?
Woolen cloth?"
Wen Kexing sighed, feeling that strange things happened every year, and there were so many this year. He pointed at Zhou Zishu and said: "Cover his eyes so that he doesn't think I have evil intentions."
Zhou Zishu glanced at Xie Zi and had no objection. Wen Kexing fumbled around in his arms for a long time, took out a sweat towel, covered Zhou Zishu's eyes, grabbed his arm, and said to Xie Zi: "Please first
