Chapter 235 Dangerous Journey
Looking at the snowflakes for a while, Wei Xiaoqing said quietly: "If you never grow up and always be a child, you will not like people, worry, or be afraid, and you will not have so many troubles!"
To be honest, Zhou Xuan is now missing his childhood, but when he was a child, which child didn’t dream of growing up overnight?
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, but Wei Xiaoqing was still addicted to the heavy snow.
Zhou Xuan frowned, walked to her side a few steps, reached out and pulled her hand up.
Wei Xiaoqing's hands were cold, just like ice cubes, and her face was also cold red.
Zhou Xuan's hand was always stuck in his pocket, and he felt warm. At this time, seeing Wei Xiaoqing ignored her body, she was a little annoyed and dragged her to the market on the street. When she reached the stairs on the street, the snowflakes could not fall, so she gently rubbed her cold hands with both hands.
Wei Xiaoqing looked at Zhou Xuan with her head, but did not pull her hand back, nor did she object, but just sighed, and then said, "Zhou Xuan, I really want to ignore you, I really want to forget you, and I am very proud, but I can't forget you, and even though I know you can't give me what I want, I still can't help but miss you. You said, what should I do?"
Zhou Xuan was stunned and immediately let go of her hand. He hesitated for a while before answering: "Xiaoqing, you know!"
"I don't know, I don't know, I just don't know!"
Wei Xiaoqing suddenly covered her face and screamed, feeling very excited!
The passers-by also looked over. Zhou Xuan was embarrassed and quickly pulled Wei Xiaoqing to another alley.
The main reason is that Wei Xiaoqing is too beautiful. Men among the pedestrians have very dissatisfied thoughts and usually like to show off in front of beautiful girls. At this time, we naturally have to strongly despise Zhou Xuan. As a man, it is not a man who should make such a beautiful girl sad, no matter what it is.
The alley where Zhou Xuan pulled Wei Xiaoqing into was a snack street. The street was not wide, and there were snack shops on both sides, with lots of standing, but most of these snack shops were not of the same type, such as Northeast dumplings, Tianjin buns, all over the world, and even Xinjiang halal.
It's really gone to the right place!
These snacks are enough for two people, and they can’t use them for fifty dollars. They are delicious and cheap. They are not as good as those of high-end restaurants. One hundred dollars are not enough.
"Xiaoqing, what do you want to eat? These things are very cheap and delicious!" Zhou Xuan pointed to these stores and asked Wei Xiaoqing.
"I don't want to eat anything, I just want to go shopping, just walk around!"
Zhou Xuan was a little helpless. It was snowing heavily, cold and frozen, and he didn't bring any money. What's the point of walking around on this street? And the more important thing is that he didn't have the mood, because he would never betray Yingying. This thing that was romantic when he thought about but was not romantic when he did was meaningless.
After walking for a few minutes, I turned around the bend of the street, and then there was a large vegetable market, a pedestrian passage of six or seven meters wide, and people who bought vegetables were in and out. However, there were seven or eight people around at the entrance and exit, some squatting, some standing, and surrounding a circle.
Wei Xiaoqing pulled Zhou Xuan and said, "Go over and take a look!"
Crowding from the crowd to the front, Zhou Xuan saw that it was a group of people gambling.
This kind of gambling is purely a fraudulent money. Unlike other ways of playing, these people are usually a group of people, with more than a dozen or less, and there are seven or eight. Some are doing the game, some are holding money to pretend to be a player bet, and some are on guard. If you find that a policeman is coming, you will send a signal immediately, and these people will scatter, or take things and pretend to be nothing, and will start to continue as soon as the police leave.
Zhou Xuan has seen many such scams. In the south, there are usually some markets and small streets, and their methods are not very high. They usually use two small lids and use some small things as props, such as melon seeds, peanuts or coins. Some people guess odd and even. For example, melon seeds and peanuts basically have six or seven, and the number is not too large. Use a lid to cover them and guess odd and even.
It's very simple, and when the scammers use the lid to cover the lid, they will do their movements very slowly, so that the people around them can see clearly as clearly as possible, so that the onlookers will feel that they are winning 100% and that they can't help but bet.
The dealer generally has various means. If they only bet by their own people, they will directly make them win money easily. This straightforward seduction method can also make the onlookers unable to resist the temptation to bet.
However, there are too many such scams and too old-fashioned. Only the worst-working gangsters do such things, which is also very risky, because there are many plainclothes police officers. If they call the police, if they drive one by one, they usually cannot catch them. They have sentry guards, and when they see police or police cars coming from far to both ends of the road, they will immediately send a signal.
But the scam is old-fashioned, but there are still some rural people who have just come out, or old men and women, who will be fooled. They think in their hearts that this money is so easy to make, winning a hundred is enough, and not much win. It is enough to pick up the money for one day or a few days of food. But they don’t know that this bet will be exported for many days, and some will even lose all the money they have.
These scammers’ tricks are not very clever, mainly relying on partnerships to commit crimes. Some of the deceived people will almost find that they were deceived at that time, but the scammers will rely on a large number of people, fighting and robbing, and robbing them even if they are not cheated, and then they will scatter and go back to share the money.
Zhou Xuan glanced left and right, and there were fifteen or sixteen people watching, and more than half of them were watching. Zhou Xuan estimated that these people were passers-by, and the dealer who did the trick was a twenty-three or four year old man. There were four men and two women holding the money next to him and shouting that they were betting. Seeing them winking at each other and looking sneaky, Zhou Xuan knew that they were in the same group.
"Xiaoqing, let's go, there's nothing good to look at!" Zhou Xuan pulled Wei Xiaoqing and walked out of the crowd, but Wei Xiaoqing twisted for a moment, grabbed his hand and whispered: "Wait a minute!"
Zhou Xuan thought she didn't know what these people were doing, so he leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Xiaoqing, these people are liars, there are more than a dozen people in a group. Don't mess with these people. If you gamble, you can't win!"
Zhou Xuan didn't notice it when he said this. His mouth touched Wei Xiaoqing's ears. Wei Xiaoqing's face turned red and her ears became hot.
After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he pulled Wei Xiaoqing away, but Wei Xiaoqing still struggled and refused to leave. Zhou Xuan looked at her strangely.
Wei Xiaoqing looked at a bet person. This man was an old man in his sixties. He trembled and took out a small bag from his underwear and pulled out a hundred-dollar bill from it. However, he had not placed a bet yet and was looking at the lid on the ground.
The two young women next to them raised the banknotes in their hands and said, "Uncle, why don't you play? You see, we have won more than a thousand, which is easy to win. Otherwise, you follow us!"
The old man looked at it for a long time and couldn't help it before he took out the money from his body, but he was still trying his best to endure it.
The man who was playing with the lid in the shop rang his cell phone. While taking out his cell phone, he covered the lid on the four peanuts, and then turned his head and made a phone call.
The two women said to the old man: "Uncle, hurry up and go down, these are four, even numbers, hurry up and go down, if you miss the opportunity, you will be gone!" As she said that, she put two hundred yuan by herself, and another woman put three hundred yuan!
The old man was very moved. He watched the dealer turn his head and make a phone call. He thought about it but didn't dare to make it. Then the dealer hung up the phone and turned his head and asked, "Have you made a good bet? I've opened it!"
Seeing that the dealer did not want to cover the cover again, the old man immediately reached out and stopped him, "Wait, I'll go down... I'll go down... Next hundred yuan!"
The man nodded and smiled, "Okay, bet, you can win more if you place a bet!"
The old man panicked and put a hundred yuan, then his eyes widened and stared at the two lids on the ground.
Zhou Xuan had already transported the ice air at this time. When the ice air was explored in the lid, he immediately realized that there was no mechanism on both lids. The mechanism was on the peanuts in the lid, and among the unused peanuts in the other lid, there were seven in total, three of which were stuffed with iron wire. The peanuts were made on the outside, and nothing could be seen on the outside.
And in the lid that just made a bet, one of the four peanuts was stuffed with iron wire inside.
There was a very small magnet hidden in the right heart of the dealer, and the mechanism was here!
If someone is fooled and after counting the number of bets, usually in the lid of the bet, the dealer will only get a peanut with iron wire. Regardless of whether it is odd or even, the dealer will use the magnet in the palm of his hand to suck up one peanut on the top of the lid. As a result, the number of peanuts below will change. In any case, the bet will lose.
Of course, if there are no outsiders bets, the bets will only be their own support. The dealer will not use magnets, and will lose money and deliberately let them win. They have to use the mechanism, which will only be used when there are outsiders bets.
Zhou Xuan used ice gas to convert the iron wire in the middle of the peanuts and absorbed it without hesitation, but he did not convert the ones under the other, but only converted the ones under the lid that was placed.
The few supporters were also smiling at each other. The old man was the most nervous and his hands were pinching tightly.
This group of people had a different idea. The scammers were thinking that the old man was dragged into the water, while the old man was thinking that he wanted to win 100 yuan.
People who like gambling, can't help but can't control themselves, all think this way.
Wei Xiaoqing was thinking in her heart that this old man would be fooled, and it was unnecessary to say that this hundred dollars would be lost.
Only Zhou Xuan didn't think so, but he didn't know if the old man won the money, would these people give him the money readily, and even if he didn't give it, he would have to return the capital to the old man. But he was helpless about this idea!
Because Zhou Xuan understood that such scammers never talked about principles and morality, and came to such places to set up stalls to deceive people. When they could not cheat, they would even rob them.
And he couldn't use ice gas to kill these people. These people are not pirates from Somalia. In China, Zhou Xuan still doesn't want to kill people!
Wei Xiaoqing is another delicate girl, and there are more than a dozen liars. If they fight, Zhou Xuan is not sure that she will not be hurt. If it were Fu Ying, it would be easy to say, punching and kicking are no problem.
The dealer smiled and said, "It's open, it's open, everyone is ready!" As he said that, he put the palm of his right hand facing down on the lid. The magnet in his palm was glued to the palm of his palm with strong glue, just to prevent others from seeing it.
However, outsiders who bet usually stare at the cover instead of their hands, so basically no one will notice it.
The dealer said something open, while uncovering the lid.
In his heart, he and his accomplices must have thought that there are only three peanuts. They have played these techniques thousands of times, and they will never make any mistakes!
The lid was unveiled, but most people, including Wei Xiaoqing, could not believe it!
There were still four peanuts under the lid, as the old man saw at the beginning, without any change. The old man himself was also ecstatic and shouted: "I won, I won!"
The dealer and his accomplices were stunned, as if they were a little disbelief, but the peanuts under the lid were indeed four, and there was no change. Could it be that he had made a mistake? Didn’t select the peanuts with iron wire?
But it shouldn't be wrong, because he was prepared when making props. The peanuts stuffed with iron wire were milky white, and the pure peanuts without iron wire were red, because the bets only count the number of particles, and do not observe the color of the peanuts. The four peanuts in front of him were nothing wrong at all!
What went wrong?
Because there has never been such a mistake, the dealer did not react for a while. After a long time, the old man shouted, "I will lose money if I win!"
Four men, two women, six men, all looked at the man who was a farmer. There was a question mark in his eyes. Zhou Xuan could see that his eyes were a bit fierce, which could be understood as: Should I pay? If I don’t pay, I will grab it. If I pay, I will set up a new situation and let the old man place a bet.
The dealer immediately thought about it and said, "Look at it well, you will lose money!"
His decision was to lose money, because there were too many outsiders watching around. If more people could be bet, the result would be better. If you stop now, you can only rob it openly, because if you rob it openly, the danger is still much greater. More than 90% of the bets may call the police. If you use methods to make them lose money, it would be much easier to say. Although it is a fraud, winning money and robging money are two concepts.
They are also veterans. If they are caught, they will just clench their mouths and not reveal other cases. If they just cheat money, they will be released after being arrested for ten days and half a month. But if they are caught robbing money, even if they cannot find other cases, they can be sentenced!
The old man took the money with a smile. At this time, a few of the people watching from the side began to get moved. It seemed that the old man could not be in the same group as them.
The strangest thing is Wei Xiaoqing. Are these people having problems with their brains? In terms of her image, this kind of scammer is really too common. None of them will give out the money, just cheat it back!
The old man held the money in his hand and first stuffed his hundred dollars into his underwear pocket. The few huddles next to him were paying attention to him. As long as the old man didn't want to leave, as long as he stayed here to bet, he would have a chance to get his money out. But if the old man stopped and left directly after winning the money, they would surge forward and snatch him and run away!
The dealer pressed his right hand on the lid and tried several other white peanuts. He confirmed that they had iron wire and could be sucked with a magnet, and then he picked one out.
Of course, no one could see these techniques. He just counted four other peanuts. After confirming, he took the lid and prepared to cover it. However, at this time, he covered his eyes with his left hand and said annoyedly: "Sand is in his eyes!"
While rubbing his eyes, the dealer covered the lid on the four peanuts, and then rubbed his eyes even harder.
The old man looked carefully and quickly put the 100 pieces in his hand on the edge of the lid. At this time, the six supporters were also betting, and two other people in the crowd also bets, and each of them was fifty.
The dealer finally rubbed his eyes and said loudly: "Betting, betting, after placing the bet, you will open. Are there any bets?"
This bet is a one-sided bet. No one looks blind. It is obvious that there are only four peanuts!
After checking this dealer, he thought that it would never be possible to make any mistakes again. Of course, after Zhou Xuan covered the lid, he used ice gas to convert the iron wire inside the peanuts and absorbed them. The white peanut grain turned into the same as the red peanut grains.
The dealer asked yellingly: "Is there anyone else to place a bet? If not, it will be opened, it will be opened!"
As he said that, he pressed his right hand on the lid, touched the iron tightly against the lid, and said, "It's opened!" After removing the lid, he couldn't help but become dumbfounded again!
The peanuts under the lid are still four!
The six accomplices were also stunned, while the other two people and the old man who betted happily shouted: "I won, I won, and I won!"
This time, even Wei Xiaoqing couldn't figure out what was going on!
The dealer was stunned for a while, and saw that the old man and the other two reached out to wait for compensation. When his eyebrows stood up, he stood up and said angrily: "I'm sorry, damn it, brothers, do it!"
As he said this, he took all the money he had bet on the ground into his hands, but the other holders clamped the old man and snatched the bag out of his underwear pocket. He felt that he had at least two or three thousand!
Zhou Xuan was anxious and didn't know what to do. If he couldn't mess these people up, he wouldn't be able to fight them hard. However, he never expected that Wei Xiaoqing next to him would kick one and knock down two more, and snatch the cloth bag from the person who robbed the money!
When Zhou Xuan was still stunned, he heard countless people shouting in the crowd: "Don't be ready to move, police!"
Zhou Xuan quickly pulled Wei Xiaoqing and said, "Xiaoqing, throw away that bag and let's go!"
But five or six people stepped forward to surround him and Wei Xiaoqing. Two of them pressed Zhou Xuan to the ground in one hand, and the other three wanted to hold Wei Xiaoqing down, but Wei Xiaoqing knocked down all three people as soon as she tried. No one next to her could see clearly how she moved her hands!
