sweet wife little confused

Chapter 93
The cricket on the opposite side has just won a game and is gaining momentum, but the cricket has rested for a long time, is stronger and lasts longer. It seemed a bit disadvantageous at first, but soon gained the upper hand. Even turned defeat into victory!
An Xiu'er looked very happy, but the person on the opposite side took her cricket away bitterly. Next, another person sat opposite to An Tiemu, but it was only about half a cup of tea. it has started.

This time luck was good, the man's cricket was even more tired, and An Tiemu's cricket won another game, but after this victory, it also looked a little tired.

These crickets don't take much time at a time, and there are fewer and fewer crickets in the hall. An Tiemu's cricket has won five games in a row, and it doesn't even sing very loudly.

An Xiu'er looked at Guanshi Wu who was at the side, "Do you want to give it something to eat and take a rest?"

"Something? Well, it should be something to eat."

Steward Wu nodded and clapped his hands, and someone brought a small porcelain bottle as a face for An Xiuer and the two of them. Steward Wu sprinkled a little powder on the cricket, and the cricket, which had been in a state of confusion, became excited again in an instant. .

"What is this?" An Xiu'er asked, but Manager Wu put the thing into his sleeve pocket, and said, "You don't have to worry about our arena's secret medicine, and you don't have to ask too much."

An Xiu'er shut up, when the other person came over, the cricket in his hand was obviously very excited, and the two crickets started fighting as soon as they got into the cup, this time, An Tiemu's 'boss' It was so vicious that the cricket on the opposite side was torn off half of its wing.

The owner of the cricket glared at An Tiemu resentfully, he didn't even want his own cricket, got up angrily and left.

'Boss' ushered in the next opponent. Its opponent looked a bit miserable. Because they were all tired, when they were caught in the fighting cup, they just looked at each other, but they didn't move all the time. Seeing this, Wu Guanshi , and sprinkled some powder on them.

Up to now, An Xiu'er still doesn't understand why these powders can make these crickets excited, and even forget the pain on their bodies, but they obviously have no power to fight anymore, but they are helpless under the stimulation of these powders. Afraid of life and death, he has the attitude of never ending death with his opponent.

She is not a saint who pays attention to the equality of all beings, and she does not know how many bugs have been trampled to death in her daily work, but seeing these bugs being treated like this, she is inexplicably terrified. What if this battlefield treats people like this?
An Xiu'er became more and more worried about An Tieshi. The people in the arena said this, so she couldn't help but think wildly.

Those horrific images jumped out of her mind involuntarily, she was afraid that An Tieshi would be forced to fight to the last moment.

"Wu Guanshi, does your arena treat those beasts and gladiators the same way?" She asked, her voice trembling slightly.

"Well, hehe..." Manager Wu smiled, An Xiuer looked straight into his eyes, and then he replied slowly: "Of course not. This kind of medicine doesn't work on people, why don't you try it?"

Manager Wu took out the medicine as he spoke, and made a gesture of pouring it into An Xiu'er's hand. An Xiu'er shook her head repeatedly, retracted her hand, and only looked at the cup in front of her.

Compared to An Xiu'er's mind-wandering from time to time, An Tiemu kept staring at the fighting cup in front of him, his eyes unblinking, very serious, he frowned, watching his cricket come forward bravely again and again , or a piece is torn off from another cricket, or a piece is torn off by another cricket.

In the end it won, and when it spread its wings and screamed, even a piece of its wings was torn off.

No wonder Wu Guanshi said that it might not be able to sell for money at that time. There is also a reason for it. It is better to fail at the beginning, but the more cruel it gets later, the cricket in front of the 'boss' has already died. Half dead.

An Xiu'er turned around and looked at the people in the hall, it seemed that there were still four or five tables competing, that is to say, if the 'boss' wanted to win, it would have to fight five or six more games.

At first, she also concentrated on watching. After all, it was not easy from so many people at the beginning to defeating so many opponents. It seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the 100 taels of silver prize.

"Xiu'er, help me buy a bet on our cricket's victory." An Tiemu took out a tael of silver from his body.

An Xiu'er hesitated for a while. Father An told their brothers and sisters since they were young that they were not allowed to gamble, and they were not allowed to do such crooked things, but... one time shouldn't be counted as gambling, right?Well, think of it as buying it just for this cricket, it doesn't matter if you win or lose.

After receiving the money, she got up and asked Manager Wu where to buy the bets. Manager Wu reached out to show her the way, and An Xiuer trotted to the place where the bets were made. When the steward looked at her, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, the responsible steward was still kind. He had a businessman's usual smile on his face, and he looked very friendly. He asked gently, "Girl, which one do you want to buy?"

"I want to buy cricket number 99 to win." An Xiu'er whispered, after thinking about it, besides the one tael given by An Tiemu, she also took out a tael of silver herself.

"Win?" The steward was startled, pointed back at a wall behind him, and said, "Girl, there are many ways to buy here."

An Xiu'er looked behind him, and on the gambling wall behind, there were indeed a lot of red papers with words written on them densely. She glanced over and saw that besides crickets, there were also cockfights and animal fights. Only then did An Xiu'er think Before I got up, there were various odds about crickets written in the flower hall, and there were also people in the hall to remember the success or failure of these crickets.

She carefully looked at the things pasted on the wall, and it was indeed the same as what was written in the flower hall. But if you buy No. 99 to become the king, you will pay five for one. An Xiuer put the money on the counter without hesitation, and said, "I I want to buy cricket number 99 and become the ultimate king.”

The steward saw that An Xiu'er didn't look like a gambler, and saw that she was weak and weak, like his own little daughter, so he rarely reminded him out of good intentions, "Are you sure? The chance of winning the king is not high." of."

"I'm sure." An Xiu'er said firmly.

The steward nodded, scribbled something on the paper, and then gave An Xiu'er a voucher, and An Xiuer ran back with the voucher.

"Miss An, have you placed your bet?" Seeing An Xiu'er running back, Steward Wu asked one more question.

"I bought it." An Xiu'er took the note in her hand and raised it.

"If you want to buy it, you should buy it earlier. Now that the fight is coming to an end, the odds are also low. If it was at the beginning, it would be [-] for [-]."

Wu Guanshi looked like you were at a disadvantage, An Xiu'er didn't take it seriously, she just smiled slightly, still sitting beside An Tiemu and watching the competition in the arena.

Fewer and fewer people were fighting with crickets in the arena, and more people gathered around the table to watch the excitement. I don’t know how many more games they won, but Wu Guanshi suddenly let them change to the center on the big round table because it allows more people to watch.

It was also this time that An Xiu'er found out that the only crickets that are still competing in this flower hall are the 'boss' and its opponents.

It's just that this situation is really tragic, not to mention that the 'boss' is covered with scars, even the cricket on the opposite side is extremely miserable. The two crickets fluttered their wings, as if they were about to fall down in the next moment.

Manager Wu lit a stick of pungent incense beside the bowl, and when he smoked a bit, the two crickets in the bowl immediately became excited again.

The people around didn't know whether they were affected by the incense, or they were all just like that. They seemed to be very excited, and they all screamed for them to bite quickly. This posture made An Xiu'er a little confused. She Can't help but move the stool closer to An Tiemu's.

This was the last competition, and she also prayed in her heart that the 'boss' would win.

The two crickets in the fighting cup were fighting fiercely, An Xiu'er half-closed her eyes, fearing that the 'boss' would be torn apart by her opponent in the next moment, but she couldn't help opening her eyes from time to time to take a look.

Perhaps it was her prayers that had an effect. When she finally opened her eyes, she saw her own cricket spreading its wings and singing.

Although only half of its wings were left after being fought, its body was covered with scars, and even one of its tentacles was broken, but it was still the one that won in the end.

"We won?" An Xiu'er said in a low voice.

An Tiemu nodded, with excitement on his face: "Yes, I won."

"Congratulations to both of you." Steward Wu congratulated An Xiu'er with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect that you, an insignificant cricket, would win to the end."

"That's right." An Tiemu nodded, and said again: "By the way, this cricket is now bought by Guidouchang, right?"

"Ah?" Steward Wu said with a look of incomprehension, "It's useless for us to buy this cricket. It doesn't look like it will live long."

"But you said before that you will buy the winning cricket for 100 taels of silver." An Tiemu argued with Wu Guanshi when he heard that he had repented.

"Yes, but I also told you that some crickets may be injured in this arena. Not all crickets will be bought with money." Steward Wu said with an innocent look on his face, "Maybe You heard it wrong before, but you can think about it, who would spend money to buy a dying cricket? We buy crickets for fighting, and it can’t fight anymore, why do we buy it?”

"Yes, yes." The people around responded one after another. Some of them are people who work in this arena, and some are just spectators who just watch the fun and don't think too much. Thinking of others, a cricket can sell such a With so much money, they couldn't help but feel jealous. Naturally, they unconsciously leaned towards Wu Guanshi's side while talking.

An Tiemu was speechless, and An Xiuer didn't know how to argue, but at this moment, Guanshi Wu said righteously: "Okay, big brother, there are rules in our arena, so don't tell me We bully students, your 100 taels of silver is still a lot of money for our casino. We will make written evidence about money. The battle field will recognize it."

Where did An Tiemu think of the written evidence?Even An Xiu'er didn't think so much, she always felt that such a big arena, it's impossible to be dishonest, but she didn't expect that she overestimated them, she didn't expect that Manager Wu who was smiling just now would He quickly turned his back on others and turned his back on what he said.

"Yeah, there is no written evidence, and there is no evidence to say it. It is already a great thing for you, a cricket, to win. You still want to lie to others for another 100 taels of silver? You are thinking too beautifully, right?" Some people even accused An Tiemu.

Even though she knew that her rebuttal was useless, An Xiu'er still couldn't help defending An Tiemu: "That's not true, that's what Manager Wu told us before."

Of course these people didn't believe it, so An Xiu'er looked at Guanshi Wu again, and said, "Guanshi Wu, we will cooperate again next time. Is it interesting for you to contradict your promise like this? Is it because we came to this arena with you so far away? Take your one hundred Wen travel expenses?"

"One hundred Wen? We all have five taels of silver." Someone around said doubtfully, "Isn't it just five taels of silver as long as you are willing to participate?"

"Yes, and when we came here, we bought our own crickets with five taels of silver to win. The odds at that time were 100 to [-], which is equivalent to [-] taels." Someone analyzed it in an instant.

When An Xiu'er heard what these people said, she still didn't understand, the two of them were fooled by Guanshi Wu and Guanshi Deng.

Sure enough, the people in this arena really know how to do business. When these people who brought crickets entered the arena, they bought their own crickets first to win, but in fact, there was only one king, and the rest were five taels. The money is equivalent to all the money wasted, that is to say, in fact, the people in this arena didn't spend a penny, so they coaxed these people to come here.

Well, I and my second brother are even more fools, we don't even have five taels of silver, and we didn't even think of making a bet at first, but now that I think about it, I really feel a little regretful, the two of us missed another chance to make a fortune.

"Forget it, second brother, don't talk about it, you will learn a lot of wisdom." After An Xiu'er finished her analysis, seeing that An Tiemu was still in a hurry, she tugged on his sleeve.

She was a little flustered, and she was really afraid that if he got angry and would fight here, with so many people in this arena, he would definitely suffer.
