Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 389 Casino Anecdotes

"Son of a bitch!"

A loud cursing sound was heard from the entrance of a remote alley, followed by the sound of someone smashing the wall.

"Ahhh, I'm so pissed off."

The smug joy that Wang Fa had just felt for stealing the purse had completely disappeared. He was now filled with resentment and wanted to slap the shopkeeper Hu in the face.

On the other side lay a torn purse with four copper coins on the ground.

After all the effort, I only stole four copper coins. What can I do with these four copper coins?

Wang Fa could only shout at the entrance of the alley to vent his dissatisfaction.

Shopkeeper Hu returned to Fumanlou safely. When he was about to take out the purse he had brought with him, he found that it had disappeared.

Thinking of Wang Fa's actions just now, he snorted coldly. So this was what he was planning.

Fortunately, when I go out, I keep the big money in front of my chest, and the purse is just for show. The four copper coins can be used to buy a meat bun to feed the dog.

Thinking of the man's furious look after he found out, Hu Zhanggui couldn't help but laugh.

"Have you heard? I heard from the younger brother of my third uncle's son's friend who works in the casino that something strange happened in the casino!"

It was noon, and Fumanlou was crowded with guests. The lobby on the first floor was already full of guests.

Where there are people, there is gossip. When this was said, the guests sitting nearby asked curiously.

Although the casino was not big, it was strictly managed by County Magistrate Wu, so nothing too bad would happen there.

The owner of the casino will give some face to County Magistrate Wu because it is his territory and will not do anything that is against the law.

But anyone with a discerning eye and a brain knows that this is only on the surface. Who knows what is going on behind the scenes?

But if it doesn't involve you, no one will care about it.

"Tell me, what's the weird thing? Did you do something shameful and someone is coming to take your life?"

"Oh, don't keep it half-hidden, just tell it now."

Several men with loud voices shouted at the top of their lungs, making the already bustling lobby even more lively.

"Speak now, speak now. Aren't playing cards very popular with everyone since they appeared?"

"Of course. When I have free time, I can get together with a few good friends to play a little. Time will pass much faster."

"So it has something to do with poker? Since the appearance of poker, the casino should have become a lot more lively."

"Yes, it's lively. There is always a lot of excitement in the casino. It will be even more lively now. But the problem lies in the poker cards."

"Ah? Aren't these just ordinary playing cards? Can they be spirits?" asked a gray-haired old man as he took a sip of wine.

Now Hu Zhanggui also became interested after hearing what he heard. He stood not far away and listened with his ears perked up.

He doesn't gamble, so he never pays attention to things in the casino, but people are born to love gossip, and they will listen to gossip no matter where it is.

"Oh, you know what, it's true. The poker cards might have really become spirits. Nothing happened a while ago. I heard it was normal, with people losing as expected and winning as expected. But recently, whenever you play poker and bet more than one or two taels of money, the poker cards on the table will catch fire for no reason and burn directly, but they won't burn people's hands."

"You are not making this up, are you? How could such a thing happen? It's a bit absurd."

"Really, it's all proven, it works every time. Nowadays, playing cards can only be used to play house games in casinos. Everything else is still normal. I heard that the casino owner even invited a witch and a monk to perform a ritual, but they didn't find anything unusual, and they didn't find a solution."

"Hahaha, don't blame me for making sarcastic remarks. I think it's a good thing. After all, if someone gets involved in gambling, the whole family will be ruined. The desire of a gambler is a bottomless pit."

"Don't interrupt. Although what you said makes sense, what happened next?"

"What else can we do? It's just like that. No one was hurt. It's just a small profit and a small loss. What kind of place is a casino? How can such a thing be allowed to exist? So the poker game was removed."

"Ah, that's it?"

"Of course not. The day after we evacuated, playing cards appeared on the table again, scaring the people there so much that they fainted."

"Oh my god! I get goosebumps just thinking about it."

One of the people sitting on the other side near the window couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.

"Sister, don't you feel scared? My whole body feels numb just listening to you." Ye Maner rubbed Ye Qiuer's sleeves and asked softly.

"What are you afraid of? We're not going to the casino." Ye Qiuer replied. Based on her intuition, this was definitely not something about ghosts or gods. The playing cards were made by the girl who made a wish. Thinking about what she had told her before, such a strange thing must be related to her.

"What happened next?" someone asked impatiently, "Is it true that no one dares to enter that casino anymore?"

"What else can they do? Of course they didn't leave. They just stayed there. What kind of people are gamblers? What does this weird thing mean to them?"

"There are quite a lot of people who don't believe in superstition, and many people come here to admire its reputation."

"Really? You've made me a little itchy. I'll give it a try someday."

After listening to it, Hu Zhanggui just smiled. After listening to the gossip, he felt much more relaxed physically and mentally. As for being attracted to the casino, that was not the case. After all, if you go to the casino for the first time, you will go there again. Once people’s desires taste the unexpected sweetness, if they cannot be controlled, they will only fall into the abyss.

……

"How is it? Have you found out where that person lives?" Ding Quan sat at the table, picked up the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea.

"I heard that he lived in Xinzhu Village in Zhupian Mountain, but our people went in to check and couldn't find him at all. The mountain was also very spooky. There was a thick fog in the forest at night. The next day, when we woke up without a sound, we were back to the place where we had just entered the mountain. We had no idea."

The person who responded still felt a little scared when he thought about that experience.

Weird, weird again!

When Ding Quan heard the word "evil", he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Go down."

"Yes."

Ding Quan felt that this should be a warning, and it would be better not to meddle in other people's business. After all, he had not suffered any harm at the moment. After thinking about it, he stood up and walked to the side.

Before anything gets hurt, I'd better advise the boss to put away his curiosity. He's already so old, so stop messing around.

Ye Qiuer packed a chicken and some braised food at Fumanlou and returned to the car with Ye Maner.
