004 Gambling
"Hurry up and return Xiaobai to me!" the girl shouted again, with a very cold tone, completely treating Wei Xiao as a bad guy and not wanting to communicate.
Wei Xiao held the snake and asked her: "What's your name?"
The girl turned her head away, resentfully, not wanting to pay attention to him.
"If you don't reply, I'll leave." Wei Xiao turned around to leave.
"Hey, don't leave! Leave Xiaobai behind!"
"It's easy to get the snake back. If you answer my questions seriously, I will let you go and return the snake to you."
The girl angrily nodded helplessly.
"Let me ask you, what is your name?"
"Axiu."
"Oh, Axiu." Wei Xiao saw that she was willing to communicate with him, "What sect are you from?"
"What sect?" The girl was puzzled.
Wei Xiao shook the snake in his hand: "If you can keep a snake demon as a pet, you must know Taoism. Who did you learn Taoism from?"
"I don't have a sect. I learned Taoism from my father."
"What's your father's name?"
"What are you asking my father for? Hurry up and give me back the snake!"
"If you don't answer, I'll leave!" Wei Xiao was about to leave again.
Axiu had no choice but to hold back her anger and answer Wei Xiao's question: "My father's name is Lei Gang."
Lei Gang, this name seems to belong to a monk. It feels familiar, but I can't remember which novel it is from.
Forty or fifty years have passed since Wei Xiao first traveled through Longmen Escort to now. Many of the things he saw so long ago are blurred in his memory.
He asked this Axiu in detail about the local inside story, but Axiu grew up in Nanyang with his father Lei Gang and only recently returned here. There is a large town near here called Gantian Town.
Because Axiu was abandoned by her parents when she was young and lived with gorillas in the mountains. After being adopted by Lei Gang, she still stayed close to wild animals and did not socialize with people. She had not been to Gantian Town often and did not know where it was.
What's going on.
The name Gantian Town is also very familiar.
No wonder they are dressed like this, with their white arms and thighs exposed!
The clothes are made of ordinary burlap, not as fairy-like as the spider spirit just now.
Wei Xiao asked her the last question: "You snake has become a demon. Did you know that he wanted to eat me just now? He will eat people everywhere, do you care or not?"
If Axiu answered that the snake was a cannibal when released, he would feed the snake red bean paste and He Luxue.
"No, Xiaobai has just cultivated his alchemy energy recently, but his intelligence is very poor. He can't tell what can be eaten and what can't be eaten. My purple gold ring can control him. I usually help him find food, but today I don't know why
What's wrong, he didn't obey my control and came here."
That was probably the effect of the Divine Wood King Cauldron. Wei Xiao nodded: "As long as it's not released to eat people casually."
He used the method of cracking the life and death talisman to release the yin and yang energy of several talismans in the snake's body. The snake was still wilted and unwilling to move. Wei Xiao casually threw the snake back in front of Axiu, and then threw the snake into the air.
The fingers released her acupuncture points.
Axiu stood up, looked at the snake, and stroked it distressedly: "It's all your fault for causing Xiaobai to be like this!"
Wei Xiao didn't want to have a meaningless argument with others, so he didn't reply and just put away the sacred wooden king tripod.
At this time, the two families, Hongdousha and Heluxue, had absorbed all the venom and elixir energy of the spider spirit, and also consumed a lot of body fluids.
Hong Bean Sha looked drunk, her eyes seemed to be open and closed, and when she opened and closed them, they shot out a shining golden light.
The red toad is different from the ordinary toad. Not only are its eyes golden, but it also has double eyelids with natural eyeliner.
He Luxue's transparent body was mixed with yellow liquid, which kept rolling and surging, and she also became wilted.
Wei Xiao took them back to the golden pagoda. Axiu had already taken the snake and left. He also packed up his things and walked to higher ground first. Standing on the hill, he saw that there was indeed a big town in the southeast.
So he went there.
He followed the road for four or five miles and came to a town. At the entrance of the town was a stone archway with the words "Gantian Town" carved on it.
This... is not the ancient world, but the Republic of China period?
Wei Xiao looked at the town's architectural style, decorations, and pedestrian clothing. Most of the men had short hair, wore cheongsams, and some wore pan-kou jackets. What kind of world is this?
He saw three policemen, wearing crisp black uniforms and carrying pistols at their waists, walking toward him.
When the leading policeman saw him, his eyes were picky at first, then his eyes lit up and he walked over quickly: "Hey, little brother, are you from out of town? I've never seen you before."
Wei Xiao nodded: "What do you call eldest brother?"
"Me, my surname is Zhou and my given name is Sanyuan. People call me Brother Sanyuan!"
"Three yuan? Three yuan in a row, that's a good name." Wei Xiao was thinking of finding a local to ask about the matter, so he praised it.
"Hey, you hit three yuan in a row, I don't understand! My name is the three yuan in mahjong tiles, and my sister's name is Sixi. You know, right? Big three yuan, big four xi, they are extremely prosperous!"
"Ah... So that's it." Wei Xiao felt a little funny, what kind of surprising parents would give their children such names, "Then your uncle must be very skilled in playing cards."
"Of course, but my father's level is not as good as mine. When I gamble, I will win every game and be superb."
"So powerful?"
"Of course! Do you want to bet with me?" This big Sanyuan is a gambler by nature. He saw that Wei Xiao was wearing excellent clothes, with long hair, an ancient white jade crown on his head, and a
Jade pendant, Shuitou looks like a treasure.
I guess he is a descendant of an aristocratic family from the Qing Dynasty. Now that the Qing Dynasty has fallen, they want to restore Han Chinese clothes. They dress like this on purpose. The family must be very rich and they are from outside the country. They just want to see if they can make some money out of it.
Wei Xiao smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's make a bet, but...what should we bet on?"
Zhou Yuan patted his chest and said: "I'm good at Pai Gow leaf mahjong. Brother, I'll bet on whatever you want. However, if you want to bet, there must be a prerequisite. You must be rich. Brother, you have money with you."
What?"
Wei Xiao put his hands in his sleeves, and with a thought, he took out an ingot of gold from the golden pagoda: "Is this enough?"
Zhou Yuan took the silver, weighed it, and said to the person next to him: "This silver is of good quality and can be worth thirteen oceans."
In fact, at this time, the amount of silver exchanged for silver dollars was seven yuan for one silver dollar. However, wars were going on in various places, and some warlords secretly minted silver coins of varying fineness. For a piece of pure silver like Wei Xiao's, at least ten taels could be exchanged for him.
This kind of thing costs fifteen yuan.
What Wei Xiao handed over was ten taels of silver ingots, and he didn't know if it would be more or less in exchange for thirteen ocean dollars: "Then you take out thirteen ocean dollars, and let's make a bet."
Zhou Yuan took out thirteen dollars from his pocket: "Brother has money! What do you want to bet on?"
Wei Xiao pointed to a poplar tree by the road: "Let's bet that after you count three, a branch will fall. If it falls, I win, and your ocean will be mine. If it doesn't fall, you win.
My money is yours."
"Bet on this?" Zhou Sanyuan walked around the tree, "Can you see that the branch above has become loose and will fall down soon? Don't try to trick me, I am very smart!"
