Chapter 94 Fighting Beasts
"Actually, I didn't ask you to place a bet. It was really a good intention. I was afraid that you would lose that little money. Besides, didn't you buy some silver yourself later? The odds of five times are not bad. Now, you must have won a lot, right?"

An Xiu'er and the two let him talk to himself and ignored him, but he still dared to lick his face and say these things.

Steward Wu said that seeing no one was paying attention to him, he knew he was in the wrong, so he took out two pennies from the sleeve box, handed An Xiuer and An Tiemu one penny each, and said: "You two have worked hard, this is the travel expenses , I know that you have misunderstood our arena, how about this, take this opportunity to visit our arena and learn about it, tonight, you will not be charged for any performances, how about I treat you to dinner? "

"It's not good!" An Tiemu turned around, and his strong body gave the obese Guanshi a sense of oppression. Wu Guanshi took a step back and gave a wink not far away. People come here.

An Xiu'er was a little anxious when she saw someone coming at the door. She was afraid that An Tiemu would be impulsive, and was about to stop him, but An Tiemu turned around rationally, silently picked up her cage, and put the emaciated 'boss' Put it on.

"I know it's impossible for you to spit out the money. Let's go!" An Tiemu said coldly.

"Oh, don't say anything, the rules are different in every town." Steward Wu snorted, and seeing that An Tiemu's tone softened, he said again: "That's right, don't say that. Ting Tusheng, we can cooperate again next time, come, to congratulate you on your victory, today I invite you to the largest restaurant in the county for dinner."

He raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Seeing that An Tiemu ignored him, he didn't take it seriously. He still walked forward with a smile on his face. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, when An Tiemu got angry just now, it was really scary.

Before leaving the arena, the two of them took the vouchers to exchange for gambling funds. Steward Wu also went to withdraw the money. He took out the vouchers and happily exchanged them for a silver ticket, smiling happily.

An Xiu'er looked up, and happened to see the huge "100 taels" written on the bank note. She was a little red-eyed. The money originally belonged to them, but this manager Wu had a good plan. Give them money to buy bets, whether they win or lose, he will never lose money.

Steward Wu noticed An Xiu'er's gaze, smiled resentfully, and hurriedly put away the money. An Xiu'er snorted coldly, and turned to look at An Tiemu beside her. Fortunately, An Tiemu was still calm. Manager Wu turned a blind eye to the money collected.

"Second brother, are you alright?" An Xiu'er was afraid of what he might think, but An Tiemu just looked at Guanshi Wu indifferently, and said, "Let's go, didn't you say invite us to dinner?"

"Okay, okay." Manager Wu said three good words in succession, and led the two of them outside.

An Xiu'er was a few steps behind Guanshi Wu, and said to An Tiemu, "Brother, have you seen that Guanshi Wu has made a lot of money today with the money he was ignorant of us. Originally, the 100 taels of silver belonged to us."

"Forget it, what he said is right, there is no evidence for what he said, who made us not have written evidence? We will learn a lot of wisdom, no matter how much money he has, it is still his, let's not mention it." An Tiemu said He comforted An Xiu'er, and said: "Besides, you and I have bet one tael of silver, so calculated, it is equivalent to returning five taels of silver that originally belonged to us. Can you open your eyes and see what you want? Wait for the second brother to buy it for you."

"100 taels turned into five taels. I thought you would be very angry, second brother, but I didn't expect you to be so sensible. It seems that I was worried for nothing. Don't worry, I am not the kind of person with shallow eyes. It's good to make money in a down-to-earth way." An Xiu'er turned her head and smiled at An Tiemu.

Steward Wu, who was walking in front, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the conversation between the two brothers and sisters. Well, he knew that they were all simple peasants, so they were easy to deceive.

After leaving the arena, it was already dark, but there were still many pedestrians on the street. I heard that there used to be a curfew in this county, but now the world is a bit chaotic. This curfew is tantamount to invisible. People in this city can play as late as they want.

Gradually, this night market has sprung up like this. Although it is already night, the county town is full of lanterns, brightly lit, busy with traffic, and the sound of hawking is endless, but it is lively.

An Xiu'er looked at the surrounding scenery, the red lanterns reflected the blushing faces of the passers-by. In the countryside, there were already sounds of frogs at this time, and it was quiet, but here, the bustling night market has just started. start.

"Miss An must come to the county rarely, right?" Steward Wu asked an extra question when he saw that An Xiu'er was walking slowly while looking at the surrounding scenery from time to time.

An Xiu'er also nodded, "I used to come here, but I went back in the evening."

"That's really a pity. In fact, in our Changning City, it's only lively at night." Manager Wu said with a smile: "Let's go eat first, and after dinner, I'll take you for a stroll."

An Xiu'er smiled and said nothing, she didn't take Guanshi Wu's words to heart, and now in her heart, this fat-faced and kind-hearted middle-aged man was already the kind of cunning and cunning fool.

"The restaurant is right in front, let's go there quickly, it's getting late today, both of you must be hungry, let's go to the arena after dinner, we'll have a good show later in the evening." Steward Wu pointed to a family in front called ' Fumanlou' restaurant quickened its pace.

An Xiuer's steps were small, and she followed in a hurry. She was a little curious about the good show Wu Guanshi was talking about. After she was welcomed into the second floor by the waiter and sat down, she couldn't help asking: "What good show is there in this arena today?" ?”

"Beast fighting!" Wu Guanshi said with a cheerful smile, "Fortunately, you are here today, the monthly beast fighting has begun."

An Xiu'er was about to ask again, but he hurriedly called the waiter over to the shop, and said: "Looking at some signature dishes, hurry up and bring a jug of good wine."

Before the food was served, the waiter in the store brought up a stack of peanuts first. An Xiuer ate one by one, but An Tiemu poured a glass of wine and drank it alone. Steward Wu wanted to toast him, but he didn't understand him. At a glance, I ignored it.

Although he saw it, he was still worried about Guanshi Wu's deceiving them. He came to eat only because he could go to a big restaurant once and save a few money for the sake of the meal. for.

On the contrary, An Xiu'er has always wanted to ask Guanshi Wu about fighting beasts. When she saw An Tiemu roll her eyes at Wu Guanshi, she wanted to calm the atmosphere, so she apologized for An Tiemu: "Wu Guanshi, don't be angry. My second brother has always been like this, he is upright and can't do things against his will."

Steward Wu laughed dryly, thinking, are you scolding me, drinking with me is against your will?

But An Xiu'er's face is pure and pure, she doesn't look like she deliberately hurt him, maybe she really can't speak.

"Come on, let me pour you some wine." An Xiu'er picked up the jug and poured a glass for Guanshi Wu with a good attitude. What kind of rules are there for the fighting beasts? From what you said, it seems like you are listening to the excitement?"

"Isn't that lively?" Hearing An Xiuer's question, as the steward of the arena, Steward Wu also felt honored, so he replied cheerfully: "There are beasts fighting with beasts in this arena, and people fight with each other. Fighting with beasts, there are single fights and double fights, but it is extremely lively, otherwise how can you say that you are lucky?"

"Fighting between a man and a beast? This beast has no eyes, what if it scratches a man?" An Xiu'er asked worriedly.

"Haha, scratch?" Wu Guanshi was a little dismissive when he heard the words, and said: "What's the scratch? No one will pay for the death. Those who participated in the beast fight today have signed life and death contracts."

"Life and death contract?" An Xiu'er was inexplicably suffocated when she heard this, and said: "Then the people in the arena will not force those gladiators to sign this life and death contract?"

"Of course not." Wu Guanshi said righteously: "Miss An, where are you going? We are a regular arena and have been registered by the government, so we won't do this. Besides, it's not that no one can be found, so there will naturally be someone He came to sign a contract with us for money."

"Then will any of the gladiators you signed before participate?" An Xiu'er asked again.

Seeing that An Xiuer asked so many questions, Guanshi Wu gave her a strange look, and said, "Could it be that Miss An has relatives in the arena?"

"That's not true. I just feel a little scary. Just ask me." An Xiu'er clutched her chest and said, "This is something for the dead. Who would do it? The last time I heard people say that the gladiators in the arena were injured Common things, I feel a little scary, I didn't expect to have a life-and-death contract."

"Hey, what is this? In fact, the hardest ones are the strongmen raised by the big families. Even if they die in a fight, no one will help them cry. In contrast, our arena treats these gladiators raised by us. It's considered tolerant." In Wu Guanshi's speech, there was some contempt for these lives.

"Then tonight's beast fight will there be these strong men?" An Xiu'er asked again, and poured the wine for Wu Guanshi graciously.

"That's not true. There are not many big families in our county, and there are few strong men. Besides, they are all people who want face. When it is not necessary, they send strong men. They are not afraid of being said that they care about human lives." Wu Guanshi lightly After taking a sip of wine, he talked a lot.

"Besides, as I said, tonight's fighting beast is different from usual. Tonight's fighting will be the most exciting day in January in our arena. So it's good for you to see such a bloody scene. Guaranteed Let you never forget it!"

Manager Wu seemed a little impatient as he spoke, he stretched out his hand to summon the waiter in the shop and cursed: "What's wrong with you, why haven't the food come out yet!"
