She's going to be a sect boss

Chapter 75 Gamblers
Hearing people's voices and the sound of cow's hooves getting closer, it was only a matter of time before they caught up with them.

He Miao looked up at old man Xu who was still sitting on the rock.

She knew that those people wanted to chase after the money, but she believed that with old man Xu's ability, if he didn't want the money, no one else would be able to give it.

Sure enough, old man Xu calmly broke off a piece of dead grass from his feet. The dead grass in winter is nothing more than ordinary, weak and yellow, swaying in the wind.

"Look and learn."

The old man Xu only said this sentence, and then he broke the withered grass into several sections, and asked He Miao:

"Have you heard the story of the lost sheep?"

He Miao blinked and nodded.

Naturally, she has heard that the lost sheep on cross-roads refers to the fact that in the process of chasing a lost sheep, because there are too many forked roads, she does not know which one to take, thus losing the sheep.

But what does this have to do with the withered grass in old man Xu's hands?
Looking for land, old man Xu chanted a spell, stretched out his hand and flicked, and several pieces of dry grass flew out.

Soon, there were several crossroads in front of He Miao on the avenue where the two had just come, but in fact, none of the roads could lead to their current location.

He Miao understood, it turned out that this is what it means to lose a sheep on a wrong road.

Sure enough, people not far away stopped in their tracks, talked for a while, and dispersed privately.

Everyone failed to find where He Miao and old man Xu were.

"Have you learned?"

Old man Xu asked kindly.

He Miao nodded, this is a good way to escape the enemy's pursuit.If she could learn this trick, she wouldn't have to be cornered by the surname Zhang that day, and she would be so embarrassed that she almost died.

"Let's go."

Old man Xu got up with a cane, and his steps were light.

He Miao turned his head and looked at the village where he came from far away. Now that the sun was rising, it was time to make breakfast.The sky is as clear and white as it was when we came here, and every household, green smoke curls up to the sky.

However, He Miao was well aware of the crimes that surged in this seemingly peaceful area.

She took a deep look at this place for the last time, wanting to remember this village firmly. Twenty years later, she must come to see the demise of the village with her own eyes. Only in that way can she comfort the innocent souls who have been wiped out and calm her anger.

Thinking of this, she turned her head decisively and walked forward.

The darkness and ugliness of people's hearts can't hit her, it will only make her heart stronger, turn this grief and anger into strength, and keep moving forward.

Old man Xu seemed to be quite familiar with this place. He didn't even look at the complicated and chaotic country roads, walking extremely nimbly.

He Miao secretly took out his compass and took a look. Old man Xu was walking in the same direction as the compass was pointing.

It shows how popular it is.

Old man Xu seemed to have eyes behind his back, and he said slowly, "I've never been here before, and I rushed over overnight when I saw something unusual happening here the night before yesterday."

He Miao naturally knew that what old man Xu said about the change was referring to the night when she fought with Zhang.

But old man Xu didn't point it out, and He Miao didn't mention it anymore.

The two of them drove forward all the way, and ate a pancake baked by He Miao in the middle, and finally arrived at an ordinary town nearby at sunset.

Seeing what old man Xu meant, he wanted to stay here first.

He Miao didn't know why old man Xu came here, but since she had agreed to stay with him for three months, it was inconvenient for her to ask further.

Unexpectedly, when old man Xu entered this township, he went straight to one place without even looking at the shops on both sides of the street.

When He Miao saw the words on the signboard of the shop clearly, he was dumbfounded.

"What are you doing here?" He Miao was a little speechless.

Old man Xu didn't come to other places, but an out-and-out gambling house.He Miao made up her mind that if old man Xu wanted to go in to gamble, she would turn around and leave without saying a word.

As for the previous promise, go to hell.He Miao didn't want to follow a gambler.

In case the other party comes up with gambling, it is possible to sell her.

When old man Xu arrived at the gate of the gambling house, he didn't go in, but just waited at the gate, which made He Miao feel more at ease.

"Be careful, the first person who comes out of this gambling house, you have to stop him, I will be of great use."

After saying that, old man Xu closed his eyes, leaned against the pillar behind him, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

He Miao frowned. She had always felt that old man Xu was somewhat mysterious, but right now, the logic of doing things was a little too incoherent.

Now it's the New Year's Eve, and the villages and towns are bustling with activity.

Those who still go to the gambling house at this time are basically outlaws, gamblers who want to turn around at the end of the year.

And those who entered the gate of the gambling house and could come out again were basically those who had already lost and lost their fortunes, and there was no one left to lose.

And the first person to come out is the unlucky one among the unlucky ones.He Miao couldn't figure out why old man Xu was looking for such a person during Chinese New Year.

Hearing the yelling and cursing in the gambling house, it was very lively, but the door was deserted.

He Miao stared at it for a long time, she was in a good mood, if there was a plate of melon seeds, she would knock it up.She just wanted to see what old man Xu wanted to do.

Finally, when it was dark, the doors of the casino opened.The unlucky man He Miao had been waiting for for a long time appeared.

This person drooped his head, dressed in a shabby dark black dress with patches on it.Eyebrows drooping, frowning unfurled, body huddled together, exuding a down-to-earth aura all over her body.

"coming."

He Miao reminded softly.

Old man Xu opened his cloudy eyes, a gleam of light flashed in them, and then he retracted them again.

He Miao has always known that he is not a simple person, and it is rare to have such sharp eyes at this age.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Old man Xu stepped forward and asked.

The man never wanted someone to greet him, and looked at old man Xu with a pair of confused eyes.

"Let's go, let me buy you a drink, and my granddaughter will pay for it."

Old man Xu pulled the man and walked forward, He Miao shrugged behind him, old man Xu treated her as an addict and returned it.

A few people found a tavern, a plate of peanuts, and two glasses of wine.

After getting drunk, the man recruited everything, crying about his difficulties in these years with snot and tears.

Born in the countryside, how hard he worked when he was young, finally opened a shop, married a wife, and gave birth to two children. The business is booming, not to mention making money every day, and living a good life.

As a result, wars have started recently in various places, business is not easy to do, the family shop collapsed, and the daughter-in-law ran away with others.Thinking of taking a gamble, maybe they could turn over, but in the end they lost everything, and the two children had to sell themselves to pay off the debt.

Now I am poor and white, and I have lost even my place to live.Seeing that the family is broken up, people are completely pauper.

He Miao yawned boredly on one side, but she still didn't understand what old man Xu wanted to do with this gambler.

Old man Xu invited the man to drink two more cups, and then asked: "20 years ago, did you see a master named Qian who gave you a talisman."

As soon as these words came out, the crying man stopped crying.

He Miao also got excited, and now he finally got to the point.
