On the way down the mountain, the ricket green-faced old man looked at Jiang Chou with a smile and introduced himself like this.
Jiang Chou said "Oh", hesitated for a moment, stopped, and put a distance between himself and old Yu Shou.
There was no other reason, the main reason was that the old man looked at him inappropriately.
Although Jiang Chou with this face was already used to being stared at when walking on the road, the gaze of this old man named Yu Shou was particularly abnormal.
Others looked at him either in amazement or wanting, but this old man Yu Shou looked at him like he was looking at whether a sow was giving birth...
"Director Xiaojiang, right? Judging from your age, do you think you are a good match?" Yu Shou asked with a smile while walking down the mountain with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Chou clenched his fists and said with a polite smile: "Taoist priests can't find lovers."
Yu Shou said "Yes" with satisfaction, and said earnestly, "People have to get married. If you don't get married, what will you do when you get old? No one will know if you die or stink! So if you find someone suitable around you,
, don’t let it go…”
"I have a granddaughter who is just sixteen this year. She is so beautiful..."
Jiang Chou just wants to say that you just lost all your granddaughter’s dowry in a gambling house. Have you forgotten it?
"Master, he has a secret, do you want to know? If you want to know, I will tell you!"
Wanjuanshu suddenly said in his mind.
Jiang Chou was stunned for a moment, and then he realized something.
Although the reason why Wanjuanshu has a "soft spot" for him is still unclear, if Wanjuanshu is really willing to use it for him, theoretically, let alone the number of the dice, wouldn't it mean that he wants to know anyone's secret?
Know?
For example, the secret of the old man in front of me.
Another example is the past identity of head Jun Jue.
This ability... is a bit excessive...
If someone else had this ability, they might explore the secrets of the old man in front of him with some intention that might be good, bad, or just novel, but Jiang Chou hesitated.
As a person who traveled through time, in his previous life, he deeply understood the importance of privacy, and he also knew very clearly how terrible a world without privacy is... Countless people have lost their beautiful lives due to privacy leaks.
.
Even if you don't have any malicious intent, exploring other people's privacy at will is undoubtedly a harm to others.
Without restraint, it is dangerous no matter where you are or who you are.
Jiang Chou concentrated his attention and did not choose to explore the secrets of the old man Yu Shou from thousands of books.
Jiang Chou was unwilling to explore other people's privacy just out of curiosity.
Although the old man was a bit verbose, he was not hostile to him. The old man's secret probably had little to do with him.
Jiang Chou now just wants to live his own life and let Xiao Qingguan live.
This decision resulted in Jiang Chou not knowing something until much later.
Let’s not talk about it for now.
…
At the entrance of Shanbo Gambling House, the sudden flow of people gambling on stones has greatly increased. Even people who don't like gambling on weekdays have been attracted by curiosity.
As a last resort, Shanbo Gambling House has temporarily released the entry threshold. Those who want to enter the gambling house to gamble stones must first pay an entry fee of ten taels of silver.
This has greatly reduced the flow of people into the gambling house. After all, ten taels of silver is not a small amount for an ordinary family in Qinghe County. It is not cost-effective to spend so much just for a little curiosity.
But there were still a lot of people at the door.
Jiang Chou and Yu Shou arrived outside the gambling house.
Yu Shou had just lost eight games in a row in the gambling house and lost all the gold and silver he had brought with him. At this time, many people knew him. Seeing this little old man come back again, they couldn't help but be surprised.
of financial resources.
When everyone saw Jiang Chou following Yu Shou, their surprise turned into square surprise.
"Isn't this Director Xiao Jiang? Director Xiao Jiang is also here to gamble on stones?"
"But, does Mr. Xiaojiang know how to bet on stones? I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the appearance of the stones... but it's okay to bet on my heart."
"You don't know, right? Zhongtong Sect came to Xiao Qingguan again this morning and asked Director Xiao Jiang to hand over one thousand one hundred taels! How can Director Xiao Jiang get so much money..."
"Is it possible that Taoist Master Xiaojiang is planning to make a thousand taels by gambling on stones?! This...is too much effort...if he loses, won't Xiaoqingguan be able to survive?"
"Yeah yeah……"
At the entrance of the gambling house, the man in charge of collecting the entrance fee saw Jiang Chou, bowed his head and ran over quickly, smiling and saying: "Chief Xiao Jiang, are you here to gamble on stones?"
"Yeah." Jiang Chou said.
The man rubbed his hands and looked happy. Jiang Chou's arrival would surely attract another wave of people.
He said: "Okay, okay, Director Xiaojiang will invite you soon."
Jiang Chou said "Thank you" and walked towards the casino.
Yu Mamoru followed behind him.
"Entry gold, ten taels of silver, Chenghui." The man stopped in front of Yu Shou, stretched out his hand, and said in a cold tone.
Yu Shouqing's face froze, and he pointed at Jiang Chou's back in front of him and said, "Why didn't you ask him to accept it?!"
The man sneered and said matter-of-factly: "Director Xiao Jiang is Director Xiao Jiang, how can you, a little old man, compete with Director Xiao Jiang?"
Yu Shou opened his mouth without saying anything for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Chou was about to disappear through the inner door, he felt anxious and said quickly: "Director Xiao Jiang, please lend me ten taels of silver!"
Jiang Chou paused and pursed his lips stiffly. After a while, he turned back to look at Yu Shou and said seriously: "Is it okay if I don't borrow it?"
…
If possible, Jiang Chou would rather not borrow it.
Adhering to the strategy of not putting all eggs in the same basket when going down the mountain to gamble on stones, Jiang Chou firmly rejected Chonglou's suggestion to take all one hundred taels down the mountain and only took half of them.
Although there should be no accidents with tens of thousands of books, but...what if? Xiao Qingguan's family is weak and cannot withstand the trouble.
What's more, you have to spend one-fifth to buy an entry-level qualification before you even start gambling?
Jiang Chou looked at Yu Shou with a very resentful look.
If Yu Shou doesn't pay him back the ten taels of silver, he can stare at him until the end of the world.
"Repay it! If I win the money later, I'll pay it back to you!" Yu Shou was stared at and said helplessly, "Win the money first!"
Yes! Win money first!
As long as you can win back a thousand taels, a mere ten taels of silver... is still very important.
Jiang Chou took a deep breath, and together with Yu Shou opened the curtain in the backyard of the gambling house and came to the stone gambling area.
Several groups of people have come and gone here from the beginning to now, and now all the people left are famous and wealthy people from Qinghe County, oh, and there are also Bu Si.
Of the five tables that were originally piled with stones, only the three on the right still had some stones on them, and the two tables on the left looked like they had all been gambled away.
The people who participated in the stone gambling stood next to the stones they bought, waiting for the stone cutters from the gambling house to come and cut the stones.
The stones at some people's feet have been cut open, either revealing their empty inner parts, or cutting out sparkling spiritual stones, which make people's eyes dazzled.
Those who did not cut out the spiritual stone felt regretful, while those who did cut out the spiritual stone had their faces glowing red and smiling from ear to ear.
Bu Si's feet had the most stones cut out and the most spiritual stones accumulated, up to his ankles, weighing several kilograms at least!
The spiritual stone shone with an intoxicating aura, and Bu Si sat leisurely. When he saw Jiang Chou walking in, his eyes paused for a moment, and then he guessed something.
He stood up and walked towards Jiang Chou with a sneer. This chapter has been completed!
