Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 83: Cheating Techniques
Everyone looked at Lin Yi curiously after hearing this.
Wen Lun thought to himself, this Junior Brother Lin is more serious than himself!
What is the bet that Lin Yi wants to make?
Hu Wancai was also stunned. Gambling? Hu Wancai didn't dare to do it, but he was afraid that the Tianlong Sect would catch him and accuse him of a crime, and he would never be able to go back.
"Brother, what do you want to bet on? If it's gambling, you have to make sure that I'm safe here, hehe!" Hu Wancai thought positively.
"No gambling. If you lose, you will go and pick up the horse manure until it's all picked up. Of course, if I lose, I will pick up the rest of the horse manure by myself. How about it?" Lin Yi said with a smile.
Hu Wancai hesitated for a moment, thinking, isn't this a good opportunity, just in time to avoid this dirty and smelly horse manure. He smiled at Lin Yi and said, "But you know, brother, every industry has its rules. You can't regret it if you lose the bet, otherwise you will give birth to a son without an asshole!"
"Brother, don't be fooled by him, this is all a lie." Tie Niu was close to Lin Yi, so he naturally had to dissuade him.
Hu Wan and the other two also hesitated. This was just a joke. If Lin Yi really went to pick up horse manure, the three of them couldn't escape.
"Haha! You are afraid that I will default on my debt, don't worry! You have a gambling character, and I have a character too." Lin Yi didn't listen to everyone's dissuasion, but instead provoked them.
Hu Wancai shouted, "Okay! Let's decide the winner in one bet. It seems that God pities me and can't bear to see me picking up horse manure, haha!"
In the midst of laughter, Hu Wancai wanted to turn over his palm, but Lin Yi casually pointed.
Everyone didn't understand, and looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a copper coin lying under Hu Wancai's buttocks.
Hu Wancai was stunned, and he dared not open his palm for a moment, and he shouted: "Look, I opened the treasure!"
When he wanted to open his palm again, Lin Yi stretched out his hand and pointed, as if curious, and said: "Hey! Another one." Everyone looked and saw that there were indeed two copper coins under Hu Wancai's buttocks.
At this time, the onlookers had some realization in their hearts, and they did not shout, but just looked at Hu Wancai with a playful smile.
Hu Wancai felt weak in his heart, and he could not lower his head to check his crotch. His expression became stiff, and he opened his palm halfway, and he dared not continue. Sweat beads appeared on his forehead.
The Tianlong Sect disciple in front of him guessed that there was no money under his palm, and he still had a chance. But since his debut, he had never failed, what happened today?
Hu Wancai's mouth twitched, and he shouted weakly: "I opened it——" Who knew that this time, Hu Wancai's face was completely frozen.
Lin pointed his finger and laughed, "The third copper coin has come out." Everyone could see clearly that there were three copper coins under Hu Wancai's buttocks.
Wen Lun also saw something strange and shouted, "Oh, I understand, you are cheating, you use your hands to move the copper coins back and forth from your crotch. Only a ghost can guess it!"
Hu Wancai felt cold in his heart. He stepped back and looked down. The copper coins were all under his buttocks. Everyone had seen it long ago, but it was a pity that he was the only one who was kept in the dark. This time he was embarrassed.
He was not good at martial arts, but he was not afraid of being laughed at for his poor martial arts. What is the most fearful thing for gamblers? The most fearful thing is to be caught cheating on the spot.
Hu Wancai's face was as red as a piece of cloth, and he smiled forcibly, "It's just a little thing, just to make everyone happy, haha!" But his voice was trembling, and his smile was uglier than crying.
Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this. Wen Lun spat in anger and cursed, "Damn it, what kind of money gang is this? It's just a group of people who do magic tricks and make empty doors. I was almost fooled to death by you!"
Tie Niu was happy to watch Hu Wancai make a fool of himself. Although he didn't know why Hu Wancai failed, it also proved that what he said just now was true.
Looking at Hu Wancai's embarrassment in front of him, Lin Yi smiled and shook his head.
Hu Wancai's hands and feet were very fast, and this trick was not a skill that he practiced in a day. Unfortunately, he met himself. This empty door skill was also taught by a master. Although it is some deceptive things, to put it simply, it is really hard to practice without a certain talent. It's just that this thing is a bit unethical, and it can cheat people out of everything. When you lose, you sell your children and daughters, and sell your house and land.
Lin Yi has followed his master for more than ten years. Even if he has not encountered these side doors in person, he has heard his master mention them.
But to say that this is a great evil, it is not entirely true.
Since ancient times, peddlers, cart sellers, and people of all walks of life have all been doing this to make a living. Just talking about Hu Wancai's money gang, if you don't like to play with money, he won't cheat you.
When people encounter great disasters, they lament their bad fate and sigh that their lives are full of misfortunes. In fact, this is also the root of the evil that they planted in the beginning.
Curiosity and desire are the innate nature of life. A short hundred years is like a white horse passing by, fleeting. Some people are immersed in their desires, trapped in their years, and wasting their hair; some people stick to the road under their feet and move forward silently!
Lin Yi couldn't help but look up, slightly closed his eyes, and his mind suddenly went away...
The sun is warm, the vitality of heaven and earth is condensed, and the agility of life is everywhere...
"Junior Brother Lin——!" Wen Lun pulled Lin Yi's sleeve.
"How did you know that this guy was cheating?" Wen Lun still didn't give up, and asked embarrassedly.
"Haha, fake is fake. Don't be fooled by the appearance, don't be tempted by the benefits. What can he do to you?" Coming back to his senses, Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head, and walked towards Tie Niu.
Wen Lun blinked his eyes and muttered to Lin Yi's back in dissatisfaction: "Junior Brother Lin is just being mysterious-"
"Tie Niu is so presumptuous, how about calling you brother!" Tie Niu hurriedly stood up, his eyes full of expectation.
"My name is Lin Yi, I'm only sixteen years old, so I should call you Brother Tie Niu!" Seeing Tie Niu smiling, Lin Yi said with a smile: "Where are you from, Brother Tie Niu? I wonder if I should ask?"
Tie Niu looked a little embarrassed, then he smiled heartily and said self-deprecatingly: "I am much older than you, but after meeting you today, I realized how reckless I was and how ridiculous I was!"
Slapping his thigh, Tie Niu said: "Let's not talk about these. I'm from Xia County, Anzhou, which is a thousand miles southeast of here! This trip to Jiulong Mountain taught me a lesson, but also gave me some experience. I, Tie Niu, have practiced martial arts for more than ten years since I was a child, and there are few rivals within a radius of dozens of miles. When I came to Jiulong Mountain and fought with your disciples, I was captured before even one round. I, Tie Niu, was convinced of my defeat."
Lin Yi shook his head and thought to himself that Tie Niu must have met a master among the inner disciples, otherwise he wouldn't be so miserable. Judging from his upright character, this trip to Jiulong Mountain was a big blow to him. He comforted him, "Brother Tie Niu, don't underestimate yourself. Since ancient times, there are always stronger people among the strong! I think you are also a famous good man in the local area. You usually help the weak and protect the village, which is also what a hero does. Those things of competing for power and victory, I believe Brother Tie Niu would not bother to do it!"
Tie Niu was very happy, and patted Lin Yi's shoulder with his big palm, and said with a smile: "Good brother, you are really insightful! I will listen to you. From now on, Tie Niu will never believe in those messy things again. I will practice martial arts at home and compete with three or five relatives and friends. Isn't it fun!"
Lin Yi stood still, but he thought of Che Hai's palm again. This Tie Niu's temperament is a bit like Che Hai, but he is not as calm as Che Hai. The grievances between the Tianlong Sect and the people in the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with him. It's just that he feels that the rivers and lakes are dangerous, and he can't bear to see people like Tie Niu innocently fill the ditch.
Hu Wancai moved over and looked at Lin Yi, hesitating to speak, and looked at a loss. For him, even running around naked on the street would not be as embarrassing as today.
"Brother Hu, do you have something to ask me?" Lin Yi asked.
Hu Wancai was about to wave his hand to indicate that he had nothing to do, but he smiled and said, "This... today's matter, although I don't know the depth of it, I also know that my brother has shown mercy. Can you, this... can you not spread this matter!"
After Hu Wancai's panic today, he thought carefully that it was not because of his incompetence, but there must be a master who was making trouble. He covered his blushing cheeks alone, and his brain was racing for a while, and then he came to Lin Yi uncertainly.
The other party's half-smile expression was elusive, and Hu Wancai felt that his guess was right. Isn't the master so unfathomable!
Hu Wancai's blind guess really made him guess right.
Leave a line for everything, too much is as bad as too little. When Lin Yi talked to Tie Niu, he had already put this matter behind him. He really didn't need to care about it.
Staring at Hu Wancai with his eyes piercing, Lin Yi smiled deeply, and spoke after a while: "There is no need to mention the past, no one cares about it. But the bet is related to Brother Hu's reputation!"
Hu Wancai was happy, knowing that Lin Yi would no longer care about it, but after hearing the second half of the words, his face turned bitter and he laughed dryly: "That's right, that's right, I'll pick up the horse manure!" As he said that, he looked at Tie Niu with pity.
Tie Niu laughed and said loudly: "Don't worry, I can't just watch and not work!" His words made Hu Wancai secretly proud, this stupid person is still straightforward.
But an upright person is not necessarily stupid.
Then, Tie Niu shoveled the manure and Hu Wancai carried the load.
In a blink of an eye, Hu Wancai complained bitterly.
Each load was piled up like a small mountain, and Hu Wancai was so angry that he jumped up and down: "You big fool, are you serving rice? Can't you give me less!"
