Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Dice

At the door of Letongzhuang, a woman wearing a flower hairpin stopped He Yan, and said softly, “My son, this is a gambling house.”

“I know.” He Yan nodded, took out a grain of silver from his sleeve and shook it in front of her, “I’m here to gamble.”

The woman was stunned, and before she could speak, He Yan had already walked in.

The woman standing outside the casino is a gambling prostitute, and Letongzhuang is a wealthy family, and the money is not worth money, so she has also learned to look at people and serve food. Those who did not seem to be very wealthy tried to persuade them to leave. As soon as the poor people walked around inside, it was not very beautiful, and the embroidered carpet was dirty. Secondly, poor people care about money and can’t afford to lose. Once they lose, they can’t afford to lose money.

He Yan’s clothes, which had been washed out, definitely didn’t look like a young master from a wealthy family. It’s a pity that the gambling prostitute has not had time to stop her, she has been uninvited.

The gambling house was full of voices, and the faces were full of red light. Those who won were naturally proud, and those who lost were unwilling. They took out a stack of banknotes from their arms and shouted: “Come again!”

He Yan walked and watched, thinking that the gambling shop brothel sold in the golden cave that others said was true.

Today, after teaching Wang Jiugui a lesson, she asked Wang Jiugui a question, which is the biggest gambling house in the capital. Wang Jiugui would not be ignorant of street gangsters like Wang Jiugui. Sure enough, Wang Jiugui told her about Letong Village.

He Yan had never been to a gambling house. Before she was able to caress the Yue army, because of her special status, the more people there were, the more people she couldn’t go to, let alone the gambling house. When he voted for the Fu Yue army and returned to Beijing after winning the battle, He Yunsheng came back again. She became a concubine in the second room of the He family, and she could not go to this kind of place with three teachers and nine students. So she didn’t even know where the gambling bank was, this was the first time.

Letongzhuang has everything, such as Pai Gow, playing chess, chess, fighting grass, fighting cock… She was dazzled, and she was surprised at the same time a little pity, she didn’t know all of these.

Someone is guessing the dice. Put the dice in the bowl to guess the number. This is the easiest, and there are the most people watching and participating. After a rush of money, He Yan’s eyes dazzled, and the corner of He Yan’s mouth finally burst into a smile.

The He family is too poor, but He Yunsheng still has to enter the martial arts hall. You can’t change the jewelry you bought for a few dollars, and it’s still far from Shuxiu. It would take a long time to make a big cake to sell. He Yan could only think of going to the gambling shop and making money. Although it was a speculation, he couldn’t care about so much at the moment.

“Hey brother, what are you doing here, don’t bet and don’t stand here.” The people around him gave He Yan a little bit of disdain in his eyes.

Why don’t you come to a gambling shop if you don’t have the money to buy good clothes? It’s really disgusting.

He Yan said: “Gamble.”

The people around here are all wearing gold and silver, and if they are rich or expensive, suddenly seeing a poor-clothed teenager come in, they can’t help but look over. He Yan took out the only two pieces of silver from his sleeves and put them on the table.

Someone laughed and said: “Boy, you can figure it out clearly, this is not a joke. I don’t think you have any more money on your body, or don’t gamble, you really lost crying nose, others will not return the money. you!”

It’s not that there is no such thing. Gambling is addictive. The more you lose, the more you gamble, the more you gamble, the more you lose. Some people lose the land lease, their wives and children, and finally regret that they have failed. It happens from time to time here.

They saw He Yan’s eyes with pity, and there was no way out for the poor in Letong Village.

He Yan smiled slightly: “It’s okay, just bet for fun.”

Everyone burst into laughter, and no one knew whether the laughter was in good faith or the excitement.

The dice were put into the bowl and buckled upside down. The dealer shook from side to side. The sound of the dice was crisp, one after another. Accompanied by the lively voices, it seemed like a roar, and it seemed that a rough man could be heard talking and laughing loudly.

He Yan remembered the days in the barracks.

She entered the barracks, from a small soldier to a lieutenant, and from a lieutenant to a general. There was no relationship with the He family, and she had earned it entirely on her own flesh and blood.

There is no other entertainment in the bitter cold place on the border. The guys in the barracks couldn’t hold back, so they gambled secretly.

He Yan would be punished by military orders every time he saw them. He couldn’t hold back the joy of their gambling in private. He Yan was helpless. Finally, he had no choice but to stipulate that he could not bet on money, but could bet on something else, a chicken leg, a piece of dry food, or a piece of fur.

They didn’t really want to bet, but they were really bored. Apart from training and fighting, this was probably the only fun, and He Yan couldn’t bear to deprive it. They let He Yan be together, and sometimes he followed him for one or two rounds wherever he came, and each time it was a big defeat.

Almost all of the gadgets on her were lost, and she was not annoyed, but she felt that she was really specialized in gambling, and not everyone could do it.

The crisp sound of dice stopped abruptly, and the dealer dropped the bowl and looked at her.

“Big.” He Yan said.

“open–”

The bowl was opened, and two dice lay quietly on the table. Everyone held their breath and looked over. The two dice, one five and one six, were indeed big.

Everyone was slightly surprised. For a moment, the man who laughed at He Yan laughed and said: “You are lucky, take the money and go and cut good clothes!”

Some scattered silver and silver bills were piled up in front of He Yan.

He Yan pushed the silver out again.

Everyone looked at her.

“Come again.” She smiled.

Someone couldn’t help it, and said, “Hey, this kid, a bit arrogant!”

“Brother, you’d better accept it as soon as you see it. If you win, it’s not bad.” This is a kind of persuasion.

“I really thought I would always be so lucky? Hahaha, kids are naive!”

Taunts, persuasion, and lively sounds filled his ears, but He Yan only had those two dice in the eyes of all sentient beings.

He Yunsheng went to the school and the military attache to be repaired. Qingmei couldn’t do all the work with a maid, so the He family should still add a little servant. Summer is coming in a few months, and the rainy season is coming. There will be some lack of tiles on the door house of the He family, and water will definitely leak… you need money inside and out.

She wanted to inquire about Xu Zhiheng’s ties with He Rufei, and she needed silver.

You don’t need a lot of money, but you can’t live without it. Otherwise, when it’s hard to move, you will know that life is hard.

“Did you think about it?” The middle-aged man shaking the dice stroked his beard, smiling kindly and gently.

He Yan also gave him a polite smile.

“Come again.”
