Chapter 096 Little Four Worshiprs
Xiao Si, the clerk of the porridge cake shop, came out of the store. He lowered his head all the way and couldn't figure out why the ingot of silver was gone for no reason. When he returned home, the four walls were empty. The broken house was like a cold kiln. He could only avoid some wind and snow, but even if it was warm, he couldn't sleep. He thought it would be better to go back to the store. At least he would not be frozen to death. Let's go. When I arrived at the door of the store, I heard a lot of laughter. When I remembered Shi Qian's words, I always seemed to say that I felt very guilty. I turned around and took two steps. When I heard the sound of seeing off guests inside, I hurriedly hid in the corner of the alley and secretly looked at the store.
Hearing the sound of the door, Wang Bing and others left the porridge shop and walked to Lion Street in the north of the city. Dai Zong said, "I have set a room in the Lion Building. We will stay there tonight." Several people gradually drifted away.
Xiao Si took a long breath and thought that these people had finally left. Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly felt his neck tightened. One arm strangled his neck, and a voice said in his ear, "Don't make a sound, rob." As he spoke, a hand touched him up and down.
Xiao Si was shocked and stiff and didn't dare to move. Suddenly, the afterglow glanced at someone strangling his arm. The front part of the sleeve of the robe was swinging emptyly by the wind. The man touched a few copper coins on Xiao Si's body and scolded, "It turned out to be a poor boy. These sentences are not enough for me to drink. Get out of here quickly." With that, he kicked Xiao Si's buttocks. Xiao Si took two steps forward and almost fell down, but he immediately turned around. A beggar-like man opposite him was counting the copper coins found from Xiao Si.
The beggar looked up and saw that Xiao Si was staring at him and asked, "Don't you want to give up these copper coins?"
Xiao Si hurriedly said, "I can't bear to give up a few copper coins. You seem to be a person I know."
After listening to it, the beggar turned around and left. Xiao Si followed without saying anything. The beggar walked faster and faster, and Xiao Si followed faster. After walking a few streets like this, the beggar finally stood still with a fierce light in his eyes: "If you follow me, I will kill you."
"Don't, don't, don't, are you surnamed Liu?"
The beggar stretched out his hand and pulled out a dagger from behind his waist. He pointed to Xiao Si and said, "I don't think you want to live anymore."
Which little four knelt down with a bang: "Master, please accept my worship again."
The beggar was stunned: "You? Who are you?"
"I'm Xiao Si. I was so tall when you left Qinghe County." He talked about the height of the teenager.
"You are the fourth baby who sells pancakes."
"Oh, it's me." Xiao Si said and pulled the beggar a few steps forward and said, "Don't stay here. Come to my house for a while."
The two returned to Xiao Si's shabby house. Xiao Si said, "Master, wait, I'll get something to eat." With that, he turned around and went out of the room, went back to the porridge shop to search for some leftovers of the king's side and others. He took a handful of firewood and rushed back to his home. He lit the fire in the brazier in the room, and the two of them gathered around. Xiao Si spread out the wine and vegetables: "Master, you'll take it first. When I have money, I'll honor you."
The beggar tidied up his scattered hair and ate it with one hand. Xiao Si looked at him and carefully asked, "Master, when will you go back to Qinghe County? How can you get into this situation?"
"Who is your master?"
"You, although you didn't teach me anything in person, I saw you kill the gambling houses in the whole county. There were so much gold and silver piled up in front of you, and you threw some to me. From then on, I wanted to worship you as a teacher. Unfortunately, you left Qinghe County later. Otherwise, I would have been rich now if you had been under your hands at that time."
This beggar is indeed surnamed Liu, named Liu Yishou. He went out for a few years and claimed to have learned how to gamble. That year, he went back to Qinghe County and swept several gambling houses. Liu Yishou's reward was also very generous. Every time he won, he rewarded the people around him, which attracted the stubborn teenager in the county to be his role as a model. No matter where he went, he would follow a group of followers. Xiao Si was one of them. Later, Liu Yishou went to the capital and left Qinghe County. After walking for a year or two, he heard that he had a mess and let people cut off one hand. Xiao Si was still very sorry.
Later, Xiao Si often went to the casino to play with money, but he did not have Liu Yishou's fortune. For this reason, he had been worried about it. His family business, which was not big, was also defeated. He wanted to find an opportunity to gamble back, so he sent it to the casino if he had a little money. If he had no money, he would rely on working in a porridge cake shop to find a meal. There is no savings. After receiving the copper money every month, it will be sent to the gambling house.
But Coincidentally, Wang rewarded Wu Nan with an ingot of silver today. Wu Nan returned to the kitchen and gave it to Pan Jinlian. Pan Jinlian was busy washing rice and making porridge in her hand and let Wu Nan put it on the case. When she wiped her hand to get it, Qiao Xiaosi went into the kitchen and saw that the couple were both busy. She couldn't help but think of her money and held it in her arms until Pan Jinlian asked. When Wu Nan was in the same time, Wu Nan didn't see the silver. She thought that it was the reason for Xiao Si, but she was afraid that she had wronged someone by mistake. Moreover, some outsiders couldn't say that they were ugly, so they covered it up and took it first.
These happened to be seen by Shi Qian. When Shi Qian saw Xiao Si go out of the door, he followed him. When he entered the gambling house, he knew that this man had a habit of gambling, he found the opportunity to steal money back. As soon as Xiao Si entered the gambling house, his eyes were only on the case of betting on the treasure. Naturally, he did not notice the people around him, so he let Shi Qian get his hand.
Liu Yishou didn't know these things. He listened to Xiao Si ask himself and sighed faintly: His name is Liu Yishou, but today he has become a left hand, leaving only one hand.
Xiao Si hurriedly said, "If you don't want to talk about me, I won't ask. Now your house has long been leveled by the government. At that time, you had to repair the road of the county. Now it's not half a day for you go to the government to claim compensation for resettlement. Why don't you just do it here first?"
Liu Yishou sighed, "I didn't expect that I would cross the world for a while, but in the end I would let you help me."
Xiao Si said, "What's the matter? If one day I have your fortune at that time, we will make a fortune if I sweep the gambling house."
Liu Yishou's eyes lit up and he looked at Xiao Si: "What, you also bet."
"I want to bet, but look at me now, I don't even have a chance to turn over the money. You just snatched those copper coins or did I take advantage of it today to help the shopkeeper with wine and oil."
Liu Yishou frowned and squinted up and down at Xiao Si. This man was ten** years old, with a white face and a pair of peach blossom eyes, but he could not say that there was evil on his body. It seemed that he was also evil in those eyes. If he was born in a rich family, he should be a dungard of wine and wealth.
"For the sake of treating me today, I will teach you two hands, but if you lose, you can't blame me, if you win..."
"Win, I haven't know what it's like to win for a long time. If I can win, I'll keep 30%, and the rest will be filial to you." Xiao Si didn't mean to flatter when he said this. Not to mention three percent, even if he only had one percent, it would be better than looking at the boss's wife in the porridge cake shop.
"Stretch out your hand." Liu Yi kept his order.
Xiao Si didn't know what he meant. He obediently stretched out his hands. Liu Yishou grabbed Xiao Si's hand and pinched it. He thought that Xiao Si was really the life of the prince's body. This hand was as soft as a woman. Xiao Si almost didn't scream. I don't know what Liu Yishou meant by scratching, pinching and pulling back. Think about it.
Liu Yishou nodded with satisfaction: "Although you are older, I don't expect that you are well qualified."
"So, you are willing to take me as an apprentice."
Liu Yishou looked at Xiao Si sideways, raised his handless arm on the right side and said, "I can't bet myself, but you remind me that I can be a disciple."
Xiao Si's heart, this is a copy of himself. As the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. Liu Yishou can't bet on himself, but if he teaches himself, he will be very popular. He hurriedly bowed: "Master is worshipped by the apprentice."
"Hahaha, get up, take these and make some good wine." Liu Yishou said and threw the newly robbed copper money to Xiao Si.
Xiao Si was happy to drink and make a fire. He was busy finding some clothes for Liu Yishou to help him bathe and change clothes. The master and apprentice talked. From today on, Liu Yishou taught Xiao Si's gambling skills. In March, he took Xiao Si to the surrounding area to practice. One day, he would go back to Qinghe County and return to his hometown.
Not to mention how the master and apprentice talked, Wang Bian and others came to the Lion Building. This Lion Building is the largest hotel in Qinghe County. The lobby on the first floor and the second floor is the inbound. The clerk took Wang Bian and others to a reserved guest room. Wu Ling said goodbye and agreed to come here tomorrow to go on the road together.
It's already dark. According to the current time, at about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Wang side listened to Dai Zong's chat with Shi Qian. He looked at the book boredly and vaguely heard Shi Qian ask, "Brother Dai, is it strange that you think it's strange? Wu Nan said that his master had only one son. Why is his man called Xiao Si?"
"There may also be a sister. Why do you care about this?"
The two of them were gossiping. Hearing the footsteps stop outside the door, someone said, "It's Mr. Wang who lives here. Sun Qian, the shopkeeper of the Zishi Street gambling shop, asked to see me."
The gambling house is really a good name for himself. Wang Bian put down the book and nodded to Shiqian. Shiqian went to open the door. He saw an old man standing at the door. He was about 50 or 60 years old, with white hair. He wore a warm hat on his head and a satin cotton robe. Inside was a straight-stitched wide shirt and wearing ripe leather boots on his feet. He stood at the door and asked respectfully.
Seeing Shi Qian open the door and said, "I'm Sun Qian, I heard from the military official's book that a noble guest came from afar, so I came to see him."
"Inside, please" Shi Qian gave Sun Qian to the room. Sun Qian looked up and saw the king sitting next to him. The person who came to see him with extraordinary dress came forward and arched his hand and said, "Do you dare to ask the king of Zhennan from the capital?"
Wang said with a smile, "Exactly, Mr. Sun, please sit down."
Sun Qian hurriedly sat down and said, "The prince came from afar. Sun originally did his best to be the landlord, but he did not know it and asked the prince to forgive me. I also just heard from the military official that the prince will leave Qinghe County tomorrow. It seems that he has something to say to Sun before leaving, so I came to see him."
"Mr. Sun is welcome. I happened to meet an old friend when I passed through Qinghe County this time. I don't bother much because of the rush of the trip. There is one thing I want to ask Mr. Sun." He said and looked at Dai Zong. Dai Zong turned around and came out of a tray from the cabinet with more than a dozen silver ingots on it and came to Sun Qian.
Sun Qian was puzzled. Although he had heard of the king of Zhennan in those years, he was not familiar with him. He quickly waved his hand and pushed him down: "What does the prince mean?"
