Chapter 75 A Small Gamble
"Dang~~~~" The Jingshi Bell responded to the rising sun and sounded the enthusiasm and expectations of the Ximen disciples.
Today, the family competition officially begins.
Early in the morning, the top of Langshan Mountain was already crowded with people. Fortunately, the top of Langshan Mountain occupies an extremely wide area and is dangerously dangerous to accommodate everyone.
Siyu had just visited this place three days ago, but looking back now, there were some changes.
The original smaller separate training ground at the east end has been redrawn with white lines, and that is where the competition will take place.
Looking to the west, there are two auditoriums built in the north and south directions. They are called auditoriums, but they are actually five pieces of wood placed from high to low so that the onlookers can sit down and watch.
In the middle of the two auditoriums, there are several chairs. This is the only luxurious furnishing in the venue. It should be where the patriarch and the others sit. In front of the row of chairs, there are a few upside-down logs, which should be for
This is where the clan members who participated in the competition sit. After all, this is a unique arena competition. The first person to go up has the right to choose the target of the competition.
The noisy flow of people slowly climbed up Langshan. Under the direction of several elders who came to the venue in advance, they continued to take their seats in the auditoriums on the north and south sides.
Siyu came not very early, handed a small registration sticker in her hand to an elder with a white beard next to her, and then sat alone on the wood in the competition area, quietly concentrating and not paying attention to others.
Siyu's arrival cheered up the Ximen disciples in the audience. Seeing Siyu sitting in the competition area, everyone's expressions became wonderful.
"Hey, look who that is, isn't it the same loser from before?"
"It seems to be him, but I heard that he stayed in Jianshan for four years and was taught and practiced by the clan leader himself. I think he has some strength if he dares to participate in the competition."
"Tch, he's the only one who's considered capable? He's just a rotten piece of wood..."
…
Everyone was talking about it, and there were different opinions. Some said that Siyu had made progress, while others said that Siyu could not achieve much. For a time, everyone's passion was ignited, and the eyes looking at Siyu began to change. Mostly
With a mixture of anticipation and ridicule.
"Hey, let me place your bets and see how many rounds that lucky boy can last." A slick-looking Siemens boy suggested loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately greeted with praise. The man was also unambiguous and immediately took out a pen, paper, and a money bag from his arms. It seemed that he had been prepared.
"Come on, come on, I'll be the banker, come and place your bets. If Siyu is eliminated in the first round, the odds are 1 to 1; if he is eliminated in the second round, the odds are 20 to 1; if he is eliminated in the third round
.........If you make it to the top five, the odds are one thousand to one."
After the Ximen kid mentioned the last odds, everyone immediately exclaimed. This odds clearly listed Siyu as a sure loser. Everyone thought for a while, then took out their little private money and started betting.
.
Gambling is a happy national sport wherever it goes.
Although their voices were very low, they still reached Siyu's ears clearly. Smiling softly, Siyu concentrated again and quietly adjusted his state. He knew that no matter who went up in the first game, he would be the one to choose the challenge.
It must be yourself.
The betting was still going on, and even the Siemens kid in the audience on the other side was a little ready to make a move and quickly joined in the betting. The oily Siemens kid held a pen in one hand to record the bets, and with the other hand he collected the money handed over by the other party.
.The speed is amazing, both hands perform their duties, and there is no confusion at all.
"Hello, can I place a bet too?" A dull voice drifted into the crowd. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the speaker.
After collecting the last sum of money, the Ximen boy put his head out of the crowd and shouted: "Who wants to bet, who wants to bet?"
A tall young man dressed as a servant stood up, accompanied by a short and fat servant. The tall servant, with a silly expression, said to the Ximen disciple: "Yes.
I want to place my bet."
As soon as the servant finished speaking, he immediately aroused ridicule from the onlookers, "Haha, you two are rich too? How much salary does the Ximen family give you every year?"
"You two go back and fetch the toilet, hahahaha.
The oily Ximen boy looked at the two servants in front of him and saw that they had no intention of leaving. He frowned and said, "Do you want to bet? How much?"
The tall servant took out a baggage from his arms. Everyone saw that the baggage was not big, but it was very heavy. The tall servant did not rush and handed the baggage to the oily disciple of Ximen, and said softly: "What's the matter?"
More, three hundred taels."
"Three hundred taels!" Everyone gasped.
The Ximen boy quickly took the baggage and opened it. What caught his eye was not the white money, but...
"Night Pearl!"
Everyone exclaimed that this bag was full of fine luminous pearls, which emitted a warm glow even during the day.
"Damn it, when did Ye Mingzhu start counting with 'two'?"
Obviously none of the children of the Ximen family have seen so many fine luminous pearls, and the other party still uses "two" to calculate. You must know that a luminous pearl the size of an egg is priceless in the market, let alone that person
The first thing I got was "three hundred taels" of luminous pearls. What's even more incredible is that this was taken out from the hands of two servants.
Seeing everyone's unkind looks, the tall and silly servant quickly waved his hand and explained: "These beads are not mine, I am placing bets for others."
The eyes of the oily boy from Ximen lit up, and he quickly asked the two servants respectfully, "I accepted this bag of luminous pearls. What do you two want to bet on?"
"
"Oshiyu joins the top five,...all in."
The crowd was excited again, this time because they were stimulated. The Ximen boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and quickly took a pen and drew a big "three hundred taels" under the blank "promoted to the top five" column.
"Excuse me, what is your surname?"
The tall servant smiled silly and said, "Call me Xiao Si!"
When everyone woke up, the two servants had disappeared on the top of the mountain. The chaotic crowd seemed to have thought of something. Those who had not taken out their pockets just now also took out their money and made bets one after another.
"I, Siyu, am among the top five."
"Me too, me too."
"Siyu... Top five, damn, don't squeeze me."
…
The scene was chaotic again, and the Ximen boy was working quickly with his hands. Seeing the money in his wallet slowly becoming bulging, his heart was trembling. The situation changed after the two servants arrived.
, is no longer under his control at this moment. He just hopes that Siyu will never be among the top five, otherwise even if his ancestral grave is dug, he will never be able to compensate so much money.
"The clan leader is here!"
I don't know who shouted loudly, and everyone immediately dispersed. The Ximen disciple breathed a sigh of relief, hugged the bag containing the money tightly, and prayed silently.
As the sun rose in the sky, Ximen Chen led three parents and a group of elders to the top of Langshan Mountain calmly. Everyone silently paid attention.
