Chapter 24
Yao Yuan fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he still looked blank, shook his head and said: "I really can't figure it out, the only person I offended should be Taodi. A big man like Mizukage.

When we arrive at Kirikage Village, I will find an opportunity to ask Mr. Iga Chusaku. At present, we still have to find a way to escape to the capital of the country of water before making any plans. "

The two of them did not dare to take a rest, so they recovered a bit, and found a path that was rarely seen by others and continued on their way.

. . . . .

The capital of water, the capital of the country of water.A huge city with tens of thousands of people.

The two of Yao Yuan worked tirelessly, trekking all the way through mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at the capital of water safely.

When Yao Yuan woke up, his body was still sore, which should be the sequelae of continuous traveling.

The ghost lamp water moon is no longer in the room, Yao Yuan knows that the ghost lamp water moon is restless, so he is too lazy to think about it, and starts the daily chakra practice.

Early the next morning, Yao Yuan saw that Guideng Shuiyue's bed was empty, and that Guideng Shuiyue hadn't returned yet, so he felt a little worried and was about to go out to look for it.

"Crench."

The door opened, Ghost Lantern Shuiyue walked in with red eyes and a pale face.

Yao Yuan jumped up from the bed, "Shuiyue, what happened, why didn't you come back all night?"

Seeing Yao Yuan's concerned face, Guideng Shuiyue was ashamed and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, Brother Yao Yuan, I secretly took your purse to gamble in Changle Casino, but I lost it all."

Yao Yuan laughed dumbly, "Isn't it just that you don't have to worry about it? It's worth your appearance. We can make money while working part-time along the way, and we can always reach Wuying Village. You go to sleep first, and we will plan carefully after you rest. .”

There was a cry in Ghost Lantern Shuiyue's voice.

"But, but in order to make money, I also pressed my black knife in the gambling house. Not only the CD is gone, but the knife is also gone."

Guideng Shuiyue sat down on the bed, looking as if life would be worse than death, with tears rolling in her eyes.

"Ugh."

Yao Yuan sighed.

"Get a good night's sleep first. I'll accompany you to the Changle Casino at night to see if I can find a way to get the knife back."

Looking at the appearance of the ghost lamp and water moon, I really can't bear to provoke him any more.

Yao Yuan comforted: "Don't worry, I'm here. No matter what, I will give you the knife back, don't worry."

It's easy to talk about coaxing the ghost lantern and water moon to rest.

This kind of thing happened when he was being hunted down, which gave Yao Yuan a headache.For a while, I couldn't think of a good countermeasure, and I didn't want to continue to practice.

I have to close my eyes and rest my mind, and adjust my physical condition to the best to deal with all possible situations.

In the city of water in early spring, the night wind carries a biting cold.

The doors of the shops on the side of the road were closed early, and people got into warm beds early, and no one was seen on the street.
Except for the howling cold wind and a few barking dogs, it was difficult to hear other sounds.

Ghost Lantern Shuiyue took Yao Yuan into an inconspicuous alley.

The two seem to have come to another world.

The alley is brightly lit, noisy with people, and there is an endless stream of customers coming and going. A huge gold-lettered signboard "Changle Casino" stands at the end of the alley.

Yao Yuan sighed, his hands seemed to feel some kind of call, trembling unconsciously.

The luxurious casino hall is full of warmth and laughter. The air is filled with the fragrance of cosmetics and the taste of desire. The sound of coins colliding and the cheers and sighs of gamblers form a dreamy duet, which makes everyone in the casino happy. Deep in it, unable to extricate themselves.

Guideng Shuiyue led Yao Yuan to a corner of the hall, pointing to a hut in front, "That's where the guests mortgage their belongings, and the knife is mortgaged there."

. . . . . . .

In the hut in the corner of the lobby of Changle Casino, Tanaka was sitting on a wooden chair, his eyes were a little dull.

A year ago, Tanaka was the best croupier in Changle Casino, and the gaming table in the center of the hall was called Tanaka's Terrace.

Only the most powerful gamblers can step onto the stage of Tanaka and get the qualification to fight with Tanaka.

At that time, Tanaka was handsome and handsome in a straight vest and trousers. Every time he played, he was the focus of the entire Changle Casino.

When Tanaka stood in front of the stage, there was no suspense about the final outcome. The hot eyes of the beauties in the casino hall and the cheers of the gamblers were his trophies.

until that night.

A short and thin old man named Sakata walked into Changle Casino.

After that night, Tanaka was knocked off the altar and became the steward of the mortgage office.

The Terrace of Tanaka in the hall was renamed as the Terrace of Sakata, and Sakata also won the title of Changle Gambling Saint.

The beauties and cheers disappeared from Tian Zhong overnight, like clouds in the sky, which can no longer be touched.

Every sleepless night, Sakata's fox-like eyes kept appearing in front of Tanaka.

It took Tanaka half a year to figure out one thing, in terms of gambling skills, it is impossible for him to surpass Sakata in this life.

So, the former Tanaka died, and the new Tanaka was just a sloppy middle-aged man who collected the gamblers' collateral into the warehouse according to the price list every day, and then sat on a chair to reminisce about the past glory.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a clear knock on the door, and two teenagers appeared in front of Tanaka.

The red-haired boy looked familiar, while the black-haired boy looked much more mature, and his black eyes had an inexplicable brilliance, which Tanaka was sure he had never seen before.

Tanaka squeezed out a professional smile, "I wonder what the two guests need?"

The red-haired boy spoke first, "Uncle Tanaka, I am Guideng Shuiyue, and this is my elder brother Yao Yuan. I mortgaged a knife here last night. I want to ask how much it would cost to redeem it?"

Tanaka recognized the ghost lamp Suigetsu, and took out the mortgage records to look through.

"Yesterday your knife was mortgaged for [-] gold coins. If you want to redeem it today, you need [-] gold coins, or [-] copper plates."

Tanaka looked at the ghost lamp with some regrets, then at the boy named Yao Yuan, and added in a strange way, "I think it is very difficult to redeem the knife. You are still young, young man, just take it as a lesson." , don’t gamble again in the future.”

The black-haired boy spoke in a soft voice with a spring-like warm breath, "Uncle Tanaka, I would like to ask you, I only have one copper coin, how can I win five hundred gold coins in the shortest possible time."

Tanaka was a little dazed, and looked at Yao Yuan intently, seeing that he looked serious, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"What a brat who doesn't know the sky and the earth."

Tanaka smiled helplessly.

Tanaka pointed to a gambling table outside, "That table is for betting big or small. Every time you bet all your chips, you need to win seventeen rounds in a row to win more than 600 gold coins, which is enough to redeem this knife."

Looking at the two teenagers, Tanaka couldn't bear it, "You try your luck, and leave if you lose. I have been working in the casino since I was six years old. It has been 40 years, and I have never seen anyone win seventeen rounds in a row. Don't I’ve said I’ve seen it, but I’ve never even heard of it.”

Yao Yuan took Guideng Shuiyue's hand and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Uncle Tanaka."
