The Unparalleled Farmer Girl - C195

Bai Yihui and Shen Run’s development could not be described with words. This layer of window paper had never been broken, and Shen Run had even wanted to pay respects to Meng Xun.

In fact, Shen Run had a good impression of Bai Yihui, but she had always known one thing, that a living person could never compare to a dead person. Shen Run did not know how much a dead person held in a single person’s heart, but he could feel that Bai Yihui was a person who had a long relationship with others.

The relationship between the two of them had always been at a standstill, and had always been friendly. Bai Yihui had been studying the Good Book recently, and had only met Shen Run once. Shen Run was a very cultured girl, and also a lady from a noble family, but he was not like the other girls in the room. Shen Run had his own opinions on some things, and this was similar to Meng Xun.

“Has Big Brother Bai made any plans recently?” The two of them still drank tea at the small teahouse. Bai Yihui no longer wore black when he left the house, and he no longer looked shabby.

“I don’t have any other plans, I’m just going to study. I’m going to take the Beijing exams to earn my reputation.”

“Why do you suddenly think this way?”

“Maybe on a whim, but I’ve already thought about it. I definitely have to go.”

“I support you.”

“Thank you, Xiao Run.”

“I heard that white girl has been making wine recently?”

“Yeah.” Bai Yihui nodded.

“I also had the chance to taste the white girl’s wine. It’s really delicious. I really wonder how such a person like the white girl could have so many magical thoughts. Big Brother Bai, are your siblings so magical?”

Bai Yihui shook his head, “Only Xuan Er’s personality is a little off, my other sister’s personality is very gentle, my little brother is a little naughty, Xuan Er can be considered a special case in our family, but she treats her well, just that there are a lot of things that are more straightforward, and might cause others to misunderstand her.”

“I really like white girl.”

The two of them talked until dusk before separating. When they were about to leave, Shen Run looked at Bai Yihui with a complicated gaze.

Bai Yizhao excitedly took out his money and pulled Mu Yefan onto the boat. The owner of the boat looked old, but his hands were very steady when rowing the boat, to the point that he looked like a person who had trained before.

Mu Yefan only took a few more glances before being fiercely glared at by that person. Mu Yefan was originally a person who did not reveal his emotions, but Mu Yefan did not react at all to that person’s expression, and directly retracted his gaze, looking at his surroundings.

The real Bai Yidu had never come to Bai Yidu’s town. If it weren’t for Bai Yixuan, he thought that he would probably have stayed on that mountain the whole time and not go down. The world at the bottom of the mountain was still too complicated, Mu Yefan didn’t like to interact with others.

Bai Yizhao did not realize all of this, and had only been looking around curiously, pointing at Mu Yefan from time to time. Mu Yefan did not expect that this river was so long, and the river over there was actually completely different from this way, the boatsman directly pushed Mu Yefan and Bai Yizhao into it and then turned around to row away, leaving Bai Yizhao completely dumbstruck, “What kind of attitude is this, you obviously gave him some money, why does it seem like we owe him money already?”

Mu Yefan did not express any opinions and only shook his head. Whether or not this was a small island Mu Yefan did not know, but the situation of this place still surprised Mu Yefan, because this place looked a little too bustling, and it was not that he had never heard of this place before, it was just that he did not think that there would be so many people here, and it looked like it would be crowded.

Mu Yefan had no choice but to help Bai Yixuan bring the children and burrow into the crowd. This place was different from the ones on the other side of the river because the women here all wore the clothes that Bai Yixuan had created from the capital city.

However, he did not know why the people in this place had all worn them, nor why those clothes in the town could not be sold, all of this was known to Mu Yefan, he had even seen Bai Yixuan’s nameless wine, he had already seen several of these places with this signboard, Mu Yefan frowned slightly, and felt that this place was extremely strange.

The two most prosperous places on the island were the Smoky Willow San Yue and Plum Blossom twice. One was a gambling workshop while the other was a brothel, and both were brightly lit.

This place was truly strange, and the people walking on the streets were either rich or powerful. As Mu Yefan looked at the young man running around randomly, he suddenly realized why the boatsman had such an attitude towards them, and it was probably because he saw that they were unfamiliar with this place, thus why he was so rude.

“Let’s go.” Mu Yefan said.

Bai Yizhao did not agree, “Ye every elder brother spent two taels of silver. Since they are all here, let’s take a look.”

Now that he knew he had spent money, Mu Yefan didn’t know what to say, and was dragged away to look around by Bai Yizhao. Bai Yizhao stared at an ancient jade, sized it up for a moment, and then slapped away Bai Yizhao’s hand.

“What’s wrong, Ye every elder brother?”

“You can’t afford it.” That piece of jade was real ancient jade, but Mu Yefan didn’t know why this person would so casually throw it on the stall. It was unknown whether this person was unable to tell, or even if this person simply didn’t care, but Mu Yefan carefully examined the other items on the stall and discovered that the remaining items were all extremely ordinary.

“Wow, Ye every elder brother, you know this thing?”

“A little.”

The owner of the stall was an old man. His eyes were cloudy as he looked at Mu Yefan with a little surprise, “Sir, please wait.”

“What is it?” Mu Yefan still turned his head to look at him, but in his heart, he was sighing over the fact that Bai Yizhao was a troublemaker.

“Young Master, what do you think of the other things in my stall?”

Mu Yefan frowned, not wanting to waste anymore time talking about these useless things with this old man. Instead, Bai Yizhao was very curious, “Ye every elder brother, say it again.”

“These things can’t be commented on.” Mu Yefan hesitated for a moment, but still said it out loud, “My brother is rude, please do not blame this elder.”

“I can’t comment, Young Master really has a mind of his own.” The old man raised an eyebrow, then suddenly asked coldly, “Do you know who the last one with Linglong’s Seven Apertures Heart was?”

Bai Yizhao quickly answered, “Yes, let’s fight.”

“The result of the competition is …”

“What are you trying to say?” Mu Yefan interrupted him.

“I just feel that Young Master is definitely not someone who is fit to be in the lake.”

“You’re too kind. Goodbye.”

This time, Mu Yefan did not wait for Bai Yizhao to hesitate and directly grabbed him, leaving. The old man’s voice lingered in his mind, and Bai Yizhao said, “Why is that old man muttering nonsense, but he seems to be praising you, Ye every elder brother, why is your expression like this.”

“Nothing.” Mu Yefan shook his head. Let’s go.

“Ye every elder brother, let’s go to those two places to have a look. Their names are very interesting. Ye every elder brother, have you ever gambled with money before?”

“Nope.”

“Then let’s go take a look.”

“…” Mu Yefan really couldn’t do anything to Bai Yizhao, and didn’t know why Bai Yixuan’s little brother didn’t resemble her at all, but this brat still didn’t give up, and no matter how you look at him, he did not seem to be pleasing to the eye, but she couldn’t just abandon him and leave. In the end, Mu Yefan still dragged Mu Yefan to the gambling house called Mei Kai Er, he really didn’t know why a gambling house called this name, and before Mu Yefan could say anything, there was already a mysterious old lady talking to Bai Yizhao by his side, “Young lad, you came here for the first time?”

Bai Yizhao nodded.

“Do you know why this place is called Mecca twice?”

Bai Yizhao shook his head very honestly, “I don’t know.”

“Because, if you win money in this place, it would be equivalent to being reborn. From then on, you would be rich and honorable, walking into a new life, isn’t it just like the second time you go to the Plum Blossom?”

Mu Yefan felt that this old woman’s ability to fool others should be on par with Bai Yixuan’s. It was a pity that Bai Yixuan was not here, otherwise Mu Yefan would have thought that Bai Yixuan would ask this old woman that question instead.

Mu Yefan sighed, he did not know what he was thinking, but he was not a talkative person, so he did not say the last few words. Bai Yizhao was still happily chatting with the old granny, the more he said, the weirder it became, until it was about how he could win the money.

Mu Yefan did not know what the old granny was touching, but he could not help but think of how Bai Yixuan would mock her at this time. She probably thought that the old lady was taking off her undergarment at such a distance, Mu Yefan felt that he must have been led astray by Bai Yixuan, why does everything have to be done by Bai Yixuan?

Then, Mu Yefan finally saw what that person fished out. It was actually a talisman …

“Little gongzi, this old woman’s talisman isn’t easily given to people. However, since you’re fated to be here, then I’ll sell it to you for a bit cheaper. What do you think?”

Before Bai Yizhao could say anything, Mu Yefan had already opened his mouth, “Not much.”

The old woman felt that it was a bit infuriating that she did not manage to sell anything out, so she grinded her teeth at Mu Yefan’s back, but Mu Yefan did not see it, or perhaps, he did not choose to.

Mu Yefan only found out how strange this gambling house was when he entered it. This gambling house was not comparable to anything, and could only be compared in terms of size, or perhaps, it was simply larger than anything, and whoever shook out the most would win, and this basic entrance fee would be ten silver coins. If you lost at this place, then don’t even think about walking inside, because the stakes were even higher, Mu Yefan had never seen such a kind of gambling house, and he could actually see a sense of novelty in that moment.

It was needless to say for Bai Yizhao, after knowing the rules, he whispered into Mu Yefan’s ears, “Ye every elder brother, do you want to take a gamble with us? We definitely won’t lose everything.”

On the surface, it didn’t seem like it, but if a person’s obsession with this thing was profound, then they might go bankrupt. For example, in this first round, although it was only 10 taels of silver, but if they kept gambling, it would be 100 taels of silver per bet.

Furthermore, this place was similar to the passing rules. It was possible that the people in the first stage would try their best to gain more knowledge in the second stage, and in the last stage, it was already considered a gamble.
