Chapter 112 (1/2)
It turns out that this is also a small trick of people in the Jianghu. It's called taking things from space. Two bowls, three jujubes, one bowl clasped one or two, disappeared in the blink of an eye, opened the other bowl, but under that bowl.
Mu Xue didn't see the trick, so she looked at it curiously for a while. The scribe gambled with people with this trick. If he guessed five Wen correctly and guessed wrong, he lost ten Wen.
Seeing that none of those who went to gamble had guessed right, Mu Xue was curious, so she also went up to try. Unexpectedly, it was wrong to guess twice. The scribe's technique was so fast that she always suspected that he had cheated, but she didn't know how, so she quarreled with the scribe.
Tang Qi came to him and said, ”how did you come here? I'm scared to death.”
Mu Xue looked at him and said, ”you're just in time. Open your eyes and see how he cheated.”
”It's a trick, not a trick. You can't guess him.” Tang Qi has seen such a trick, so to be honest.
Mu Xue suddenly stepped on Tang Qi's instep and said, ”you fool, how do you know he's not cheating.”
Tang Qi almost jumped up in pain. He bared his teeth but didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to hold it back.
The scribe was helpless, shook his head and said, ”OK, let you drive according to the girl.”
Mu Xue said proudly, ”I'll see how you cheat this time.”
The scribe clasped the three dates in the right porcelain bowl, changed the positions of the two bowls back and forth, and then asked, ”how many dates are under the right bowl?”
Mu Xue said with a smile, ”you still want to cover me. The three dates are under one bowl, but not on the right, on the left.”
The scribe released his hand and said, ”girl, open it yourself, so as not to say I'm cheating.”
Mu Xue smiled and said, ”it depends on how you lose this time.” Reach out to open the left bowl and see the two jujubes under the bowl.
”Here... There's another one?”
The scribe slowly opened the bowl on the right and held a jujube under it.
Mu Xue was stunned and wanted to say that he cheated, but the way to cheat was too clever.
”Girl, I'm willing to admit defeat. You said I cheated the first two times, so I won't ask the girl for copper money. This time, the girl won't cheat again.”
The scribe looked proud, looked at Mu Xue and said.
Mu Xue was discouraged. She really didn't understand why another jujube ran into the other bowl.
Mu Xue had to take out fifteen copper coins, throw them on the stone table and said, ”I'm willing to admit defeat, so I don't need your copper coins.”
After saying that, Tang Qi turned and left. Tang Qi hurriedly followed her. Seeing her bouncing to a booth where the little sugar man was pulled on the spot, he watched the sugar silk turn into a big cock or a charming child in the hands of the old artist. He was not interested and completely forgot the unhappiness of gambling just now.
Tang Qi kept company with her and never dared to leave again. He had long forgotten his appointment with Mo Ge.
After watching the trick for a while, Wuji suddenly remembered Tang Qi and Mo Ge. He looked around. He didn't see them, so he squeezed out the crowd and looked around.
On the square, there are a sea of people. In the middle are some Jianghu entertainers doing various performances, and around the square are all kinds of vendors shouting. In a hurry, where can I see their figure.
”Chestnuts, chestnuts, fresh chestnuts just fried, fragrant and sweet, three Wen a bag, eat while it's hot.”
When Wuji was looking around, he heard a man shouting with a basket of hot chestnuts in front of him.
”Shout, are your chestnuts really fresh?”
Two young men with steel knives came to the man, squatted down, grabbed one from the basket, skirted it skillfully, and threw the chestnut meat into the mouth.
The man was still comfortable and said, ”it's fresh. If it's not fresh, it doesn't cost money.”
I didn't want to say a word. The man who ate the chestnuts kicked him to the ground. ”Bah” spit out the chestnuts and drank, ”they're moldy and fresh? Don't you think Monsignor? ”
The man was surprised at first, then got up trembling, grabbed a chestnut from the basket, looked at it, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said vaguely: ”they are all new chestnuts this year. How can they be moldy?”
”Bah, it's obviously moldy. It's still talking nonsense.”
The man said, and they grabbed a handful of chestnuts in the basket, turned and left.
The man spit out the chestnut residue in his mouth, got up, grabbed them and begged, ”two masters, you haven't given me the money yet.”
They seemed to hear a very funny joke. They turned back and laughed and said, ”give me the money? You sold me moldy chestnuts and didn't settle with you. How dare you ask me for money? ”
The man was sad. Naturally, he was unwilling to take away two chestnuts like this. He still didn't let go and begged: ”it's not easy to do small business. You two raise your hand...”
Another man said angrily, ”I eat your chestnuts to give you face. Do you still want money?”
With one kick, the man screamed and fell to the ground. He just hit the basket. The full basket of chestnuts immediately fell to the ground and rolled all over the ground.
When the crowd was neutral, someone screamed and said, ”this is the plague God of the fast knife gate. It's too late to hide. What else do you provoke them to do?”
”What look in your eyes? It's clear that it's caused by the two plague gods. How can you rely on him?”
