The correct strategy for the master of the world

On the third day, the snow stopped.

The black-topped carriage slowly ran over the soft snow, leaving two deep ruts.

The weather after the snow couldn't be better. The sun finally showed its face openly, coating the snow with a layer of glittering gold.

The sky is clear, and there is no trace of any extra traces. All eyes are blue, the clear blue in the distance.

Lu Xiaofeng liked this kind of scenery very much, lying on the side of the car window, having a drink or two with the scenery, there was no urgency to hurry.

Even so, when he finally arrived at his destination, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the carriage is comfortable, sitting in it for two or three days has become a torture.

The place where the carriage stops is south of the Songhua River, in a place called Lahasu.

Lahasu means old house in the dialect of the Rong people in the north. It sounds full of warmth and sweetness, but it is actually a cold and remote place.

Every time before and after Chongyang Festival, the weather turns cold, and the closure of the river is imminent.The river here will be frozen until next year's Qingming Festival, and the river will be sealed for seven months.

But these seven months are not difficult for the locals.

In fact, for the locals, sealing off the river is no different from a grand celebration, and the frozen river often brings them a more exciting life.

Where is Lahasu?

People who are not familiar with it will ask this question.

Lahasu is on the Songhua River.

The locals will answer you like this.

Lahasu is on the river, above the frozen water.For those who have never been there, it is difficult to imagine what a picture it is.

This section of the river is not wide, only twenty or thirty feet, and it would not take long for a person with good lightness skills to go back and forth. However, when the river is closed here, the ice surface can be more than ten feet thick.

In the eyes of those who have lived here for a long time, the omen of sealing the river is very obvious from the wind and water.

A few days before the closure of the river, the prepared wooden frame was thrown into the water and tied with a rope. After the closure of the river, it was so cold that it took root.

At this time, lay bricks and tiles on the wooden frame, and build a wall with sand, and it will be frozen as hard as a stone overnight.

After two or five days like this, the ice surface will be full of various houses. After a few more days, this place will become a very lively market.

The ice will not melt until Qingming in the next year, when people have already moved their homes back to the shore, and the remaining empty wooden frames roll down with the thawing river water.

So the prosperity on the ice just disappeared, like a dream.

The people in the old house also hibernate, like hibernating animals, waiting for the wind from Fengjiang to wake them up again.

Now is the time when the river is closed, and it is also the coldest time of the year. Similarly, this is also the busiest time for the market.

Wen Renxi was tightly wrapped by Lu Xiaofeng's inner and outer three layers. When he got off the carriage, he even felt that he was bloated like a dumpling. He didn't get off the carriage, but rolled down round and round.

Even so, Lu Xiaofeng still felt that there was a cold wind whistling around Wen Renxi, and he could find a gap to sneak in at any time.

There is no shortage of hotels in Rahasuri, whether it is for sightseeing or business, there must be a place to stay when you arrive.

The best restaurant here is Tianchang Restaurant. Although there is no building, it is already the best decorated and largest house here.

Therefore, the most indispensable thing here is the endless stream of guests. The boss sits at the door with his hands folded, with a chubby face facing the guests from all over the world, smiling happily and killing the guests without any mercy.

But this is the past years, the boss who does business here every year seems to have changed his temper this year, a huge house is so empty, the fire is still burning, the kang is warming, but no one lives in it.

When someone asked, the boss said that he had already been booked by a big customer, but from Chongyang to now, not even half of them have appeared here.

Until a carriage slowly stopped at the door.

Of course, the friend who prepared the carriage for Wen Renxi also prepared a house for him.

The boss had already moved out the day before, the house was empty, and the firepit was still burning hot, so the house was not cold, the water tank was full of water, the cellar was full of vegetables and meat, and there was still enough firewood.

Even if a dozen people live here, they can live for a long time.

Lu Xiaofeng walked around the room, the walls were not ventilated, the ventilation was not bad, the food stored was quite fresh, whoever prepared this room was undoubtedly a thoughtful person.

Of course, he is also a very powerful person.

Wen Renxi squatted on the ground, watching the ginger soup in the small pot gurgling and boiling, and next to his ears was the sound of Lu Xiaofeng running back and forth to pack things.For some reason, there was a feeling of irony.

It seems that along the way, the most he did was to cook ginger soup for Lu Xiaofeng to dispel the cold.

……

The night in the north always comes very quickly, especially in extremely cold places, the night is long and the day is often only a few hours.

One moment it was still dusk, the next moment darkness has enveloped the earth.

The lights came on one after another, and the market, which was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly, suddenly appeared brightly again.

The light shone on the ice, and the light on the ice refracted back. It looked like crystal palaces floating in the transparent air. Whoever saw this scene could not help being dazzled.

Lu Xiaofeng was no exception.

The exhaustion from the journey has faded, and he is very excited now. After sitting in the carriage all the way, he does not want to lie on the bed and have a good sleep, and he does not even want to stay in a fixed place for a while. On the contrary, he What I hope most now is to be able to run out, to take a walk in the bustling lights that are not like the world, and to vent the depression accumulated along the way.

But thinking about Wen Renxi, he still silently suppressed the urge to move in his heart, spread the quilt and prepared to climb up and lie down overnight.

Wen Renxi looked at Lu Xiaofeng's calm look, but actually he was already looking out agitatedly, and sighed lightly: "I'm not tired after sitting for a whole day, why don't you go out for a walk with me?"

Lu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's getting late, let's wait until tomorrow."

Wen Renxi raised his hand and knocked on Lu Xiaofeng's head: "Have you ever seen someone go to see the night view during the day? Drink the ginger soup and go out."

His tone was gentle, but there was an undeniable taste.

Rare overbearing.

Lu Xiaofeng blinked, said "Oh", obediently ran to finish the ginger soup on the stove, put on his cloak, and followed Wen Renxi out of the door.

The whole brain went blank.

Wen Renxi rubbed his sore forehead, put his hands down before Lu Xiaofeng noticed, put on his clothes and went out with his usual expression.

……

It was very lively outside, and the cold did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the people here. On the contrary, it stimulated people's desire to travel because of the beauty of the night.

Bustling with people, the streets are full of stalls, and all kinds of excitement are like festivals.

Ice lanterns of different shapes are hung on the stalls, and the flickering lights make people feel like seeing the scene of the Lantern Festival.

Willow head on the moon, after dusk.

The streets are full of lights, the traffic is busy, the laughter is fragrant, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the moonlight is just right.

As soon as the cold wind blew, the mind that had been blanked by Wen Renxi's sudden imposing manner also woke up. Seeing Wen Renxi's unhurried figure walking in front, Lu Xiaofeng's face was slightly stained with red.

……

There are lamp sellers, food sellers, and wine sellers on the streets.

In the cold north, spirits are undoubtedly the best-selling commodity.

Wen Renxi's walking speed is not fast. After running all the way, he is actually quite tired. He is already tired of seeing the scenery along the way. A few shabby houses can be compared, but it is quite interesting to think about Lu Xiaofeng looking around behind him.

All veterans know that whenever they go to a place, the most important thing to do is to survey the terrain. If they are not familiar with the terrain, they will undoubtedly put their lives in the hands of others. Lu Xiaofeng has always done this very well.

The street was very clean and lively, Lu Xiaofeng could see many people he knew mixed in, but they didn't come to say hello, Lu Xiaofeng also pretended not to know each other.

As the bustling crowds come to the end, you can smell the aroma, the aroma of wine from a distance.

There was a tavern at the end of the street, and the business seemed to be very good. The waiter was running around in it, sweating in the winter.

Under the rickety "Taibai Legacy" wooden sign at the entrance of the store, the boss is sitting there.

From time to time, he would stand up and say hello: "Why don't you come in and sit down? The wine that just arrived is very good!"

But that tone was more like sitting bored to pass the time.

Even so, many people were still moved by the words and walked into this dilapidated tavern.

There is no other reason, all because of beauty.

The owner of this tavern is a good-looking woman with a round moon face and willow eyebrows, wearing a brand-new cotton-padded jacket, and smiling brightly.

Lu Xiaofeng recognized her, although he only saw her from the portrait, but anyone who has seen the portrait will definitely not mistake her.

Blue Beard's four pillow people are undoubtedly beauties, and they are all beauties with their own charms.

For example, Tang Keqing, the owner of the tavern with a gentle smile, or Leng Honger, who came out from the opposite side of the tavern.

Leng Hong'er lived up to her name, her face seemed to be frozen, and it seemed that someone owed her hundreds of taels of silver and hadn't paid her back. She was dressed in black and had a thin and small figure, but she had a stubborn personality that was not easy to bully.

She came to look for Tang Keqing. One of these two is the second concubine with blue beard, and the other is the third concubine with blue beard. Every man knows that the women in this backyard are fighting to the death, but these two are holding hands. After talking in a whisper, they walked into the tavern affectionately, and they really looked like a pair of good sisters.

To find the Raksha card, it is best to start with these people, because the person who stole the Raksha card must be one of the four wives of Bluebeard.

But Lu Xiaofeng just stood there looking at them, without any desire to go forward, his eyes flicked across the faded signboard, and looked to the other side.

Not far from the tavern, there is a small alley between two houses, a dilapidated wooden gate, a big pale lantern, and a gleaming silver hook under the lantern.

Silver Hook Casino.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, as soon as Lu Xiaofeng saw the hook, he felt his hands itch, as if something was about to be pulled out by the hook.

What is the fastest earning business in the world?

gamble.

That is really a good deal with huge profits.

Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his chin, watching a stripped naked person being thrown out, like throwing out a dead pig, the glistening meat was dazzling.

"Want to go?" Wen Renxi asked as he stopped in front of him.

Lu Xiaofeng was still in the gambling house, so he took two extra steps without noticing, and happened to be walking side by side with Wen Renxi, and with only one glance, he saw the crease between Wen Renxi's brows.

"No." He smiled dryly and replied.

Wenren Xu didn't like gambling houses, he thought to himself, most of the people who hang out in the gambling houses were gamblers, gamblers who kept repeating their mistakes.

Bet on this kind of thing, once it is stained, unless you have enough self-control, you will end up with muddy feet in all likelihood, and you will not be able to get out even if you want to crawl.

Indulging in gambling often also symbolizes cowardice and incompetence, and one can only squander oneself on the gaming table.

Lu Xiaofeng knew how to gamble, but most of them just tasted it. To him, the gambling house was more like a place where he could get money.It would be nonsense to say how much he likes casinos. He has watched too many farces and filth in casinos, and sometimes he wished he would never go in for the rest of his life.

What he likes is the excitement when the answer is revealed, whether it is gambling or other things.

Fine wine, beauties, the most extravagant enjoyment, the most exciting heartbeat, these are the weaknesses that Lu Xiaofeng has never denied.

Everyone has weaknesses, so why be ashamed and dare not admit them?

Wen Renxi hooked the corners of his lips, pretending not to notice the stiffness in Lu Xiaofeng's words, facing him, Lu Xiaofeng's acting skills were still a bit lacking.

"Then you can go in with me." Without giving Lu Xiaofeng any chance to object, he had already walked into the alley, a dark alley with faint white lights, as if he wanted to swallow Wen Renxi into it.

Lu Xiaofeng was startled and hurried to follow.

The Silver Hook Casino here is naturally not as good as the one Lu Xiaofeng used to go to. It is small and dilapidated, and it is even more cramped with a group of people crowded inside. Burning charcoal fire, bored together in this small space.

The moment he entered, Wen Renxi's eyes went dark and he was almost suffocated by the dirty and hot air. On the contrary, Lu Xiaofeng who was following behind him adapted well, took off his cloak, and looked around with great interest.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. Although it is a small gambling house, it does not fall into the signboard of the Silver Hook Gambling House. It has all kinds of gambling houses, and the staff who come and go can be regarded as neat and clean. They greet and send with smiles on their faces. , and the charcoal fire is very warm.

Wen Renxi was not suitable for this place, as if a white crane walked into a group of native chickens, no matter how approachable the white crane seemed, the native chickens would have an instinctive awe and admiration.

The person who greeted them, Lu Xiaofeng, also knew her, the blue bearded aunt, Chen Jingjing, the prettiest and gentlest of all the women.

"Your guest is here, and I did not greet you from afar. Please forgive me." The soft and gentle voice made people reluctant to lose their temper with her.

Lu Xiaofeng laughed: "I'm called uninvited, so what's the crime?"

Wen Renxi stood aside, quietly being a qualified companion, no one could tell that he was the one who said he was coming here.

"Then how do you want to play?" Chen Jingjing asked, smiling amiably and cutely.

"How can I play?" Lu Xiaofeng asked back, while talking, he glanced at Wen Renxi.

"One tael of silver is played with one tael of silver, and 100 taels of silver is played with 100 taels of silver." Chen Jingjing said.

Lu Xiaofeng touched his bosom, left and right, and then sighed helplessly after a while: "Then is there a way to play with two copper coins?"

He asked this question, as if he was here to find fault, but if you think about his journey, first he slept in the open for a period of time, and his money was already spent, and then Wen Renxi arrived, so Along the way, Lu Xiaofeng almost never used that pitiful money, so it didn't seem uncommon for him to realize that he only had a few coppers until just now.

Chen Jingjing still smiled softly: "Of course there are."

It's just that her tone of voice no longer has the enthusiasm of the beginning, but anyone who does business, who would like customers who are cash-strapped, especially those who run a gambling shop, no matter how much they earn, they are only two copper coins. A cup of free tea is more than two copper coins.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed again, noticing the change in her attitude: "Then take me to a place with two copper coins to play."

Two copper coins are enough for him. In the gambling house, he can turn two copper coins into two taels, 20 taels, or even 200 taels of silver.

Chen Jingjing pursed her lips indiscriminately, and found a young man to lead the way.

Looking at the clothes, I thought it was a fat sheep, but I didn't expect it to be a poor man, so I miscalculated.

Wen Renxi also noticed her contemptuous attitude, the folds on her forehead were deeper, and when Lu Xiaofeng touched his nose helplessly and smiled wryly, he was silent for a moment, untied the brocade bag from his waist, and threw it into Lu Xiaofeng's arms.

"Take it." He said calmly, as if throwing a piece of light waste paper.

The brocade bag in his hand is very delicate, I don't know who made it, the moon-white silk and satin are embroidered with dark patterns exquisitely, with only such a brocade bag, Lu Xiaofeng probably can keep the best embroiderers in the south of the Yangtze River busy for quite a while.

The rope that tied the bag was not ordinary, and with Lu Xiaofeng's knowledge, he couldn't tell the origin of the rope for a while, but it felt slightly cold to the touch, and it was unexpectedly strong and firm.

The rope was randomly tied into a knot, and it would be untied as soon as it was pulled. Lu Xiaofeng looked inside, tossed the bag in his hand a few times, and said with a smile, "It seems that now you have to teach me how to play for 5000 taels of silver."
