Chapter 301 If you recognize someone or something, you will go all the way to the dark

   Qian Da looked at the middle-aged woman with dark yellow complexion wearing a patch in front of him, thinking he had heard it wrong:

   "You... aunt, what are you talking about? You want to apply for the pitching pot guard, hey no, auntie, do you know what pitching pot is?"

   It's not that he looks down on people, the woman in front of her is dressed in shabby clothes, her eyebrows are drooping and flickering, she is obviously an ordinary woman who has not experienced any big scenes.

   And throwing pots has always been a trick played by the upper-class nobles, and ordinary people don't have the time to learn it.

   Gu Danxue clenched his fists, "I...I really know how to throw pots."

  Qian Da had a headache, thinking that this woman might be crazy about money. The other guy at the side, Wang Er, sneered disdainfully,

   "Okay, you said you can throw pots, right! See that broken dog pot in front of you?"

While talking, he picked up a branch as thick as a thumb: "Come on, just take this branch, stand here and throw it into that broken basin. If you want to throw it in with the right head, today the young master will be named after you... "

  He smiled maliciously, obviously teasing.

  However, before he finished speaking, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth. Gu Danxue took the branch solemnly, lifted it up, and threw it lightly in the direction of the broken pot. With a bang, the branch fell steadily into the pot.

   After finishing all this, she turned her head to look at Wang Er, and said seriously: "You can't have my surname, my father will not agree!"

  Wang Er: "..." Who the **** wants to take your surname! Can't you hear the hurtful words?

  …

  In short, Qian Da led Gu Danxue to Fa Caiju in the end.

  Fat Cai Ju is the largest casino in the west of the city, Gu Danxue was led to meet a manager here. After seeing her pot-throwing skills, the steward was obviously also very surprised, but his frown was slightly relaxed.

   After explaining the rules to her. He glanced at her figure and clothes, and after thinking about it, he called a maid to take her down to change.

  When she came out again, she was already a short, thin and haggard man.

  She touched her face, thankful that the disguise Cui Lingling made for her was real. She followed the steward through the noisy hall, through the doors,

  Fat Fortune House is the largest casino in the west of the city. Naturally, the things that can be played cannot be limited to traditional gambling methods such as shaking dice and throwing dice.

  The back of the casino is divided into another hall, there is a boxing ring—the kind that kills people, there is a Colosseum, and there are even human-animal fights. Other than that, of course. In order to cater to the children of some dignitaries and eunuchs, it is natural to play some more elegant games, such as throwing pots.

  When Gu Danxue came to the venue, there were already many people standing there, and there were men's congratulatory sounds from time to time.

  Where has she seen such a scene before, she hesitated and dared not go in, and even had the urge to escape. In the end, he bit the bullet and followed the steward and walked in.

  Guan pointed at Gu Danxue. He introduced to everyone on the field that this is the new ring guard.

  In order to let the guests understand the level of the ring guard, the steward asked Gu Danxue to compare with a burly man next to him as usual.

  In such a large venue, it is naturally impossible to have only one guard, but Li Er, who broke his hand before, is more famous.

   Several guests glanced at Gu Danxue subconsciously, seeing her shrinking and lowering her eyes, they looked away without disappointment, and even a dude laughed directly and said that there is no one in Fa Caiju!

  The steward's expression did not change at all, and the two began to compete.

   Gu Danxue squeezed the arrow tightly tightly, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

  What can be easily done in private, but in front of so many people, I feel my hands and feet trembling.

  I can't help but think, what if she loses?

  She knew that someone must be following her in the dark, if she just turned around and left. Will the princess and others be disappointed? And my father, my father will definitely dislike me even more...

  Thinking of this, her hand holding the sword user suddenly became firmer. She comforted herself silently in her heart, she was not even afraid of death, so what are these people afraid of?

   Touhu was originally a banquet etiquette for scholar-bureaucrats. Later, with the changes of the times, it gradually evolved into an entertainment item in the upper circles. Its gameplay also increases a lot of difficulty from simply putting the arrow into the spout at the corresponding position. From just shooting, to this layer, Youchu, Lianzhong, Piercing, Scattered Arrow, Quanhu, and Xiaojian were added to this layer.

  She fixed her eyes on the ear-piercing pot on the opposite shelf, and only heard a click, and the arrow fell steadily into the spout, followed by the strong man on the side.

   There was a burst of applause from around, the two sides were evenly tied, but Gu Danxue was a little dissatisfied.

   Immediately afterwards, with the next arrow, the arrow thrown by Gu Danxue fell into the ear of the pot, that is, piercing the ear. This sword is obviously more difficult than just now.

  However, immediately after, accompanied by repeated applause, the strong man beside him also threw an ear shot, which meant that the two were tied again.

   Gu Danxue frowned. According to the rules that the steward told her just now, there are a total of four people who are responsible for throwing pots and guarding the ring. The guests who come can choose one person to compete with them at will.

   Naturally, it costs money. Before that, the four guards will have a competition. If they win, the price for each competition will be two taels of silver, and the rest will be one tael.

  She quickly calculated in her mind that if she wins, she can earn five taels per game, deducting the three taels of casino rake, that is to say, if she wants to earn a full one hundred taels, she only needs to win fifty games.

  She immediately stopped hesitating and picked up the remaining two arrows at the same time. He stepped back a few steps, and before everyone could react, he heard only two crisp sounds. It turned out that two arrows were thrown at the same time, and they were the most difficult arrows in the throwing pot.

  The field was quiet for a moment, and then there was thunderous applause.

  Gu Danxue stood among the crowd, although she still did not dare to look at people with lowered eyebrows, there was an indescribable excitement in her heart, a strange excitement of being recognized.

  The strong man on the side clenched his fists, Yin Zhi flashed across his eyes.

   Not long after, a man in brocade clothes waving a fan threw five taels of silver into the plate in front of her.

  Since it is in a casino, there is no escape from the word gambling. According to the rules, each player can hold eight arrows in a game of throwing pots.

  As long as the guest can win five times in a row, he can get ten times the silver given before, which is fifty taels.

  But those who can come here are basically not short of money. They just want to enjoy the thrill of winning money.

  The two began to compete, involving their own interests, Gu Danxue was still a little nervous.

   One can imagine that in the dark night, the woman lay curled up in a cold corner, and her hand holding the arrow became firm again.

   Not surprisingly, the man in brocade clothes didn't win. He threw the arrow to the ground. Angrily cursed.

  Just when Gu Danxue was uneasy, the other party threw another piece of silver over, gritted his teeth and said "come again".

   Next, more and more people came to Gu Danxue to throw money to compete. Let everyone see what it means to "never fail"

  As the silver on the plate increased, Gu Danxue went through the initial excitement. The arms gradually became sore. She had to switch hands.

  But because of her "repeated battles and victories", the atmosphere on the court was high at this time.

  The news from here spread to other venues, and many people were lucky or unwilling to admit defeat. In short, more and more people were looking for Gu Danxue to compete.

  Gu Danxue felt that her hands were going to be useless, which reminded her of the moment when she first practiced throwing pots, but at that time she only practiced in private, and she could rest when she was tired. But now she couldn't stop.

   In fact, Gu Danxue is too honest, if someone else can use the excuse of wanting to go to the toilet or other people to slow down.

  The strong man who competed with Gu Danxue before sneered. Where did this idiot come from?

  In their line of work, they deal with gamblers all the year round, and they always consider how to maximize the money from the pockets of customers.

  Often one or several games will always lose several times, making the guests feel that as long as he is given another chance, he will definitely win. Instead of comparing with others like Gu Danxue.

  And those who can come here are the masters who are not short of money. As long as you say something nice and make the guests happy, the rewards you will give will definitely be more profitable than this kind of hard work.

  He just watched with cold eyes, waiting to see when Gu Danxue couldn't hold on and made a joke.

  Gu Danxue could hardly hold on anymore, she felt her hands were shaking, and because of this, she missed two consecutive shots, which made the people who were waiting to compete with her more excited.

   But looking at the small piles of silver on the plate, she seemed to have strength again.

  She said silently in her heart: There are still twenty times, as long as I persist. I can earn a hundred taels of silver. You can redeem that glib woman.

   From this point, it can be seen that she is actually a single-minded person. If she recognizes someone or something, she will go all the way to the dark side.

   During this period, she never thought of and would not consider opportunistic shortcuts.

  Nineteen more...fifteen...ten...

  She just gritted her teeth like this, obviously she almost lost feeling in her shoulders, but she exceeded her limit again and again.

  Finally, five times...twice...once...

  Under the disbelieving gaze of the strong man, she threw away the last arrow in her hand. Slowly exhaled.

   At this time, because of her strong record, almost no one dared to challenge her.

  …
