I opened a mother and baby supermarket in ancient times to raise cubs

Lie Shan and his son knew nothing about being betrayed, and they were still wandering around the largest stone gambling field in Shun'an Town.

The stone gambling field is different from the casino. The latter is full of miasma, and there are countless desperadoes and desperadoes.The environment of the former is better than that of the casino. There are not only men but also some luxuriously dressed ladies. They sometimes hear people clapping their legs and laughing, and sometimes they cry loudly. ", and the hostility in the quarry is not too strong, and the development has not yet drawn knives at every turn, or the phenomenon of cutting off limbs has not occurred.

The mountain materials and water materials of the gambling stone field are also divided into grades and grades.

The water material is jadeite that falls into the river bed after weathering, and after a long period of erosion, it finally turns into a smooth and round green material.And the mountain material is like the kind of stone that can be seen on the roadside. Although it looks inconspicuous, once it is opened, its value is immeasurable.

Therefore, after the stones were mined back, the experts had already divided them into four grades. The chances of getting jade out of the best materials are very high. To put it bluntly, these stones are designated to have jade, but what kind of jade is cut out is your own luck. up.The middle-grade material has a half chance, and the low-grade material has a half-and-half chance.The last thing is to set up a stall in the stone gambling field. If you are lucky, you may be able to cut out nail-sized jade. If you are unlucky, it will be a stone. This is because people often cheat people with a stone from the side of the road. After all, the rules of the quarry are "buy and leave, willing to bet and admit defeat."

Rich people go to play in the upper, middle and lower-class attics, while some poor people enjoy wandering around the lowest-class stalls. Even if they have been cheated countless times, they are still lucky. What if they get a piece of jade? ?Anyway, these scraps are not expensive!

Little do they know that the accumulation of little makes more, today five civilizations and seven cultures, it won't be long before the whole family will be wiped out.

And handing over all his wealth to Fu Lang, Lie Shan, who now only has two taels of silver, can only take Xiao Si to stroll around the stall.

Xiaosi looked around, tugged at Lie Shan's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Father, let's go, these people have been seen by experts in the quarry when the stones were brought back, and those who have jade have already seen them." Picked away, the rest of these are all waste."

Lie Shan withdrew his gaze, looked back at him, and said with a smile, "I know a lot."

Xiaosi was taken aback, his little face turned red, and he quickly defended himself, "Father, I didn't gamble, I, I brought my younger brother and begged here!"

Lie Shan raised his hand to touch his head, nodded and said, "Father believes in you."

Only then did Xiao Si show a smile, rubbing his hands in the cold, and said, "Father, let's go, it's so late, and Dad has already returned from the shop, if he knew we came to the quarry, he would be angry !" At the end of the sentence, the tone was emphasized, even though they have stayed in this family for less than half a month, they also know that the father of this family is the real boss!

Lie Shan thought for a while, then took out a tael of silver from his cuff and handed it to Xiao Si, "Go and buy something to pad your belly, and we'll leave when you come back."

Xiao Si refused to take it, and it was rare to be coquettish, and persuaded with a long voice, "Father, these small vendors are all deceitful, don't be addicted to gambling like them!"

Lie Shan's stern eyebrows melted into a warm smile, and he patted Xiao Si's shoulder again, "Don't worry, we'll leave when you come back."

Xiao Si knew that he couldn't hold back Lie Shan, so he could only sigh heavily in his heart. His father didn't listen to the persuasion, it seemed that he had to go home to find his father, so he took the money from Lie Shan and ran home.

Because many people lost their fortunes by betting on stones, even if one day Qiao’s family was gambled away by his father, it would be fine for them little beggars to go back to wander and beg. It hurts, no, no, I still have to go home quickly to find my father, I want to completely kill my father's gambling nature!

Seeing Xiao Si leave, Lie Shan finally didn't have to hide it anymore, he stood at the intersection and casually looked at the stalls on both sides, the subtle red light from his obsidian-like eyes suddenly flashed, and the next second, he Stride in one direction.

The small booth was surrounded by a dozen people, and there were rows of strangely shaped stones on the ground. There was a sign next to it that said "One piece, one tael, no bargaining" on both sides, and the banner read "If you don't buy it, get out."

Simple and crude.

Inside sat an old man with a gray beard who was dozing off and collecting money.

Someone weighed the stone in his hand and said unwillingly, "Old flower head, who knows if you picked up this stone on the side of the road, one piece and one tael, why didn't you grab it."

The old man raised his drooping eyelids, pointed at the horizontal line with his finger, and looked at him lazily.

The man exploded in anger, threw a stone and scolded, "You are dumb, you are right to lie, let's go!"

While talking, the people behind him hurriedly persuaded, "A Biao, why are you angry? Uncle Hua's rules are like this. Besides, you don't want to look at it. There are hundreds of stalls in this gambling stone field, which is the number of times Uncle Hua produces jade." There are too many, hurry up and pick a piece, we finally saved a tael of silver!"

A Biao's face was still angry, and relying on his big size, he shouted at Uncle Hua, "Old dumb, choose for us!"

Uncle Hua yawned, pulled up his hood, closed his eyes and ignored people.

Seeing this, A Biao was about to get angry again, his fists creaking, "Look at him looking like he's going to die! He's just begging for a beating!"

The people on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said righteously, "Do you understand the rules? There is no reason for the seller to choose the material. If it is opened, it's fine. If you can't open it, don't you want to blame them for deliberately cheating you?"

"Isn't it just a tael of silver? You're just trying to make a fortune with this picky, soso-so character. I think you'd better wait to make a fortune!"

A Biao shouted angrily, "You!"

The friends behind him hurriedly stopped him, the young scholar looked like a rich man and there were several strong guards behind him, how could he beat him?Moreover, it is expressly stipulated that fighters are prohibited from entering the quarry for life. This is not acceptable, and they still want to make a fortune with this!

A Biao also knew that this person could not be offended, so he was dragged by his friend to the side of the shop and picked up a stone. The friend suddenly saw something and threw his arm at A Biao.

A Biao asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"

The friend whispered, "Look at the man next to you. He looks extraordinary and is dressed in good materials. He looks like someone who knows how to play with materials. Why don't we see what he chooses and grab it?"

A Biao glanced at the people around him. Although this person was about the same size as him, he saw that his face was cold and handsome, and his skin was extremely white. It might be an embroidered pillow, so he was not afraid, so he nodded to his friend.

And Lie Shan, who was at the side, had already listened to their conversation, and inadvertently swept the stone in A Biao's hand, his eyebrows were raised slightly, and there was a teasing smile on his lips.

Lie Shan couldn't put it down, playing with a piece of green water material in his hand, while groping, he was still muttering words.

The scholar-like young man who just talked to A Biao saw that Lie Shan wanted to settle the bill with this stone, and couldn't help but said, "Brother, your material is not good, such a stone has a large green surface, and usually there is a lot of green on the inside." No green! Isn’t there a saying, “I’d rather buy a line than a piece” (1)?” He looked at him suspiciously as he spoke, “Do you know how to bet on stones?”

Lie Shan, a tiger that grew up in the mountains, doesn't understand this, it just wants to tease people, remembering what he heard from other stalls, his palm suddenly felt a little hot, and he pretended to be calm and said "Jargon There is also a sentence in "It is better to buy a drum than a spine. "(2)

Lie Shan took advantage of the situation and turned the stone in his palm over, and in the next second he saw the bright green wrapped around the bulging place.

The young scholar was stunned, scratching his head, "Ah, this, this is a bit strange, maybe there is real jade."

A Biao and his friend looked at each other, and they both saw in each other's eyes that they must win.

The friend wandered back and forth behind Lie Shan a few times as if he was watching the excitement. Just when Lie Shan was about to get up to pay the bill, the man turned his foot and slammed straight at Lie Shan's back, but Lie Shan naturally He turned sideways slightly, only to hear a bang, and the man fell hard, no one could trust him.

And Lie Shan seemed to be frightened, and the stone unconsciously dropped his hand.

Seeing this, A Biao didn't care about helping his friend at all, so he went up and picked up the stone.

Lie Shan looked at him in disbelief, "Hey? What are you doing! That's my stone!"

"What is your stone!" The friend was hurt all over from being thrown, and stood up staggeringly while saying, "You didn't pay for this stone, so why should it be yours? Besides, you threw it on the ground yourself, why didn't you pay for it?" Let someone else pick it up!"

After hearing this, the scholar boy was very angry, "You two scoundrels! You should have already figured it out!"

A Biao still remembered that this person scolded him, and shouted impatiently, "It's none of your business, it's not your stone!"

The young scholar's face was flushed with anger, "Who are you scolding for nothing!"

"I'm sorry, young master. A Biao has a bad temper. Don't be as knowledgeable as him." The friend wanted to calm down quickly so that he could resolve the stone.

"Let's go, A Biao, let's pay the bill!" The friend wanted to drag A Biao, then glanced at Lie Shan, who didn't dare to make a sound, and smiled meaningfully, "Young master, you stand up for others." It also depends on whether the person is worth it, and this brother seems to have no objection to the two of us taking this stone?"

Lie Shan glanced at him, pretended to sigh and said, "Forget it, you can take it if you want it."

After the two went to pay the bill, the scholar boy glared at Lie Shan, "You are so big for nothing, but they stole your stone!"

Lie Shan turned a deaf ear to it, but knelt down and took the stone that A Biao didn't want, weighed it in his hand, smiled with satisfaction, looked at the young man again, and said, "Anyway, they can't solve the jade, so they can give it to them if they want it." them."

The scholar boy's eyes widened, "What do you mean?"

Before A Biao and the others left, they looked back at Lie Shan and the scholar. A Biao smiled triumphantly, "Look at that man bought the piece of material I played with at the beginning. It seems that he is only this old. Be patient."

The friend also laughed, "Let's go, let's go to Jieshi Shop, I really can't wait all day!"
