Immortal Aoki

【Chapter 12】

After a day and a night, the sea boat arrived at Fushengzhou.In March of Yangchun, the grass grows and warblers fly, and the slender green branches are covered with Nongli's flowers. Zhong Fei and the three of them settled down in a yard with the boatmen to have lunch.

The fat cook in the yard had already prepared the meal: "I was still wondering why you haven't come yet, so there was a storm."

The person in charge had a sad face: "But it will be bad luck if you delay the time for a stick of incense."

The cook comforted: "If you want to open it, at least everyone is safe. By the way, Xie Zimei came to ask for the goods in person in the morning."

The steward asked in amazement, "You can claim his identity by yourself?"

The cook nodded and said, "That's right, I was so shocked that I didn't dare to say anything more, so I sent it off respectfully. He entrusted you to bring rare and expensive goods, right?"

The steward was upset: "It's expensive, but it's not so rare. He can't afford to come and pick it up by himself. Speaking of expensive, my fifty boxes of cloth are worthless."

Just as he was talking, the sound of a tuk tuk horse came.

The cook chuckled and said, "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, hey, please keep it safe, don't tell him to deceive his wife."

A sedan chair with drooping tassels was carried in.The bearer put it down carefully, and his attendants hurriedly raised the curtain of the sedan chair.One person came down slowly, only to see that he was in his 30s, skinny and sick.The dark circles under the eyes are heavy, the pupils are more white and less black, and the dark red color unique to gamblers glows in the pupils, which is gloomy.Bare | bare ankles, wearing a silver ring with a scorpion pattern, making a crisp sound.

He is Scorpion Mei, with a cold temperament.

The steward went up to him with a bitter face: "Young Master Mei, even people and goods have sunk in the sea. The things you entrusted me to carry, which I wore next to my body, are gone."

Xie Zimei was very indifferent: "I knew it earlier, and I will take back the deposit."

It was really cold, without even a word of consolation. The steward ordered the cook to fetch 100 taels of silver. At this time, a boatman suddenly said, "The steward, is it this embroidery box?"It turned out that when the steward fell into the sea, the clothes floated out of the box, and the boatman was right next to him, so he put it in his pocket, and then he just forgot about it because of his life.

The box was exquisitely designed, no sea water was poured in, and inside was a black dice with blood-red points. Scorpion Mei stared at it for a while and closed the box.

The steward said with emotion: "Young Master Mei is really lucky. My fifty boxes of cloth are gone, but yours is intact."

Xie Zimei thanked her, put the box in her sleeve, and looked around: "Everyone, does anyone want to have fun with Mei?"

All the boatmen laughed loudly: "Don't dare not dare, your underwear is enough to keep you entertained."

One person suddenly said, "Zhong Fei, do you want to give it a try?"

Zhong Fei who was pushed forward was speechless, how could he bet with the professional players, but they all booed, it would be better to grant their wishes: "Yes, yes, I only have five taels of silver." I still won on the boat just now.

Xie Zimei looked at Zhong Fei: "This little brother, where did we meet?"

This kind of strike-up is old-fashioned, right?

Fortunately, Xie Zimei didn't continue this topic, saying that she could bet on anything, so Zhong Fei chose to roll the dice.

The dining table was wiped clean, and the two of them occupied one end.

Xie Zimei took out the dice in the box. It was carved meticulously, made of jet black, with six sides, engraved with one to six respectively, and the numbers were blood-colored, and the black and red gave off a strange luster.Scorpion Mei twirled the dice, her fingers were long and slender, black and white with Xuanjin's dominoes.

Xie Zimei said: "Three rounds determine the outcome, whoever has the most points will win."

Zhong Fei said, "Yes."

Scorpion Mei threw it casually, and the dice spun more than a dozen times, and when it stopped, it was "one point".Everyone laughed and said that Zhong Fei was stable, after all, he just had to throw any number of "two, three, four, five, six" to win.Zhong Fei squeezed the dice, and when he rolled it, it was "one point", and the two tied.

Xie Zimei frowned: "Young Master Zhong, have you only been playing for a while?"

Zhong Fei said, "I just laughed."

Scorpion Mei threw it casually, and the dice gurgled to the corner of the table before stopping. It was still "one point".Everyone looked at Zhong Fei, Zhong Fei pondered for three seconds, and threw it decisively, but it was still "one point".A boatman couldn't help saying, "Young Master Zhong, this is a comparison of size, whose point is bigger."

Zhong Fei naturally knew.

For the last time, Xie Zimei played with the dice and said: "It seems that the bet is too small, Mr. Zhong doesn't bother to win. Otherwise, I will bet 100 taels, and if you win, it will be yours."

This is real money, Zhong Fei waved his hand: "Don't dare, I don't have so much silver."

Xie Zimei sneered and said, "It's okay, if you lose, give me five taels."

Zhong Fei shook his head: "No, no, five taels is still the bet."

Xie Zimei became angry: "You show your true skills, I am not someone who breaks promises."

As if Zhong Fei had to win, Zhong Fei was in a dilemma: "I am a novice, winning is a fluke, and losing is inevitable. Everyone here knows it well."

Xie Zimei glanced at the steward: "Boss, you come to be a dealer. If Mr. Zhong wins, I will give him 100 taels; if he loses, he will still give me five taels of silver."

Everyone was in an uproar, which clearly showed that they were giving money.

Scorpion Mei threw it casually, this time it was not "one point" but "two points".Even so, it is safe for Zhong Fei to win.Everyone stretched their necks, Zhong Fei played with the dice for a long time, and finally threw it out - "one point".Adding up the three rounds, Xie Zimei got four points, Zhong Fei got three points, so naturally Xie Zimei won.

Xie Zimei took Zhong Fei's tael of silver and left.

Everyone stumbled: "The 100 taels are gone."

Zhong Fei said regretfully: "There is no way that Mei Shaohong's luck shines brightly, and he can't stop it."

Xing Yin, who had been watching from the sidelines, questioned: "Is he cheating? How can it be such a coincidence, you always get a little bit."

Mu Zhu said with a smile: "If you play tricks, Xie Zimei will be at six o'clock every time."

That's right, Xie Zimei only calls out a thousand every time he throws six points, but he also has one point and two points.It can only be said that the dice is too evil, or that the scorpion plum was born for gambling, and the luck is overbearing.

After the meal was over and the money was lost, it was time to go to serious business, Zhong Fei said goodbye to the boatmen.

Mu Zhu went to find his musician friend, and before leaving, he asked Zhong Fei, "Why did you deliberately lose to him?"

Zhong Fei felt complacent: "I don't want to be entangled."

Scorpion Mei intends to lose, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.The dealer is always like this, first let the gamblers win a little bit, then lure them a little bit deeper, and finally can't extricate themselves.If Zhong Fei wins this time, there will be new tricks behind Xie Zimei.The most important thing is to find an energy source for Jinlingzui, and we can't make extra troubles.Therefore, Zhong Fei lost outright and cut off his future affairs.

Mu Zhu didn't agree, "Xie Zimei's intention to lose is so obvious, it's a bit strange."

Zhong Fei didn't care: "Who knows."

Mu Zhu still wanted to ask where the two of them were going to practice, but Xing Yin dragged Zhong Fei away quickly: "We are in a hurry, so let's go."

After being dragged across the long street, Zhong Fei gasped and said, "He didn't do anything, why are you so upset?"

Xing Yin looked displeased: "Who made him gossip around, it's not serious."

Zhong Fei wondered: "Where is he not serious?"

The territory of Fushengzhou is very wide, the south is wild, the north is icy and snowy, and the east is full of sects. On the west bank across the sea from Chenzhou, there are dense business exchanges, the most prosperous and the most chaotic.Close to the coast, it also became a small town, much bigger and more prosperous than Weiai Town.

Zhong Fei walked and watched, but when he turned around, Xingyin was nowhere to be seen.

Just as he was looking for it, suddenly a gust of wind hit him from behind, Zhong Fei instinctively raised his heel, and kicked hard back and up.There was only a scream, and a middle-aged man fell to the ground.Turning around, four or five people gathered around Hu La La, without saying a word, they punched and kicked him one by one.

Zhong Fei's fighting skills are very strong, and he uses offense as defense, so that those people can't take advantage of it.

At this time, Xingyin heard the sound and ran towards him, without saying a word, a big move directly knocked everyone to the ground.Not far away, a sedan chair was lifted directly.Zhong Fei stood still and said loudly: "Young Master Mei, wise people don't do secret things, so is there anything you can't say directly?"

Sure enough, it was Scorpion Plum.

Scorpion Mei said suspiciously: "Why did you let me win on purpose?"

I really don’t understand this person, I’m not happy when I lose, I’m not happy when I win, the whole world revolves around you.Zhong Fei said angrily: "I have business to do, how can I have so much free time to play with you!"

Scorpion Mei suddenly raised her voice, and asked hysterically: "You lied, who ordered you to frame me!"

Zhong Fei was angry: "It's the first time I've met you, so where's the enmity?"

Xingyin embraced Zhong Fei's shoulders, and said proudly: "Young Master Mei, we still have business to do. If you have something to say, let's get out of the way. We are not your dice, you can play with them as you want."

A person stepped forward and said something in Scorpion Mei's ear.

Xie Zimei calmed down, and raised her pointed chin: "So it's really my first time here, I misunderstood, to express my apologies, please go to the humble house to explain."

Zhong Fei shook his head: "No need, let's go."

Xie Zimei lowered her posture: "I, Mei E, am not an unreasonable troublemaker. The humble house is in the back street, so it won't take much time."

No matter how Zhong Fei and the two refused, Xie Zimei was very persistent, even begging.This person's temperament is gloomy and cold, and he is quite pitiful when he is low-spirited.Zhong Fei's heart is soft, seeing that he really has something to hide, then listen to it.

Meifu is very rich.

The phoenix trees and Zhulou, the pavilions are uneven, the rockery is verdant, and the flowing water is soupy. The servants respectfully brought clothes and a cup of hot tea for Xie Zimei.

Xie Zimei coughed twice and put on her long gown: "Forgive me, I have been ill for more than two months, and no matter how much medicine I take, it won't improve."

Zhong Fei's heart softened even more: "Is Young Master Mei suffering from insomnia? Drink less tea."

"It's useless to drink less and more." Xie Zimei dismissed the idlers: "Master Zhong, please tell me, why did you lose to me?"

Zhong Fei couldn't help laughing, and said sincerely: "The trick of your dealer is to let the gamblers taste the sweetness first, bite the bait, and let them get stuck in it. Ten bets and nine loses. I understand. Work hard on me."

Scorpion Mei frowned: "But I want to lose to you."

This is too unbelievable, Zhong Fei asked back: "Why did you try to lose to me?"
