Xiao family.
"Mother, I met a little fool today." At the dinner table, Xiao Yuefeng said suddenly.
Zheng Peier was a little surprised and said, "Where did you see him?"
"At the stone gambling field, mother, the little fool has gone to gamble with stones." Xiao Yuefeng said.
Zheng Pei'er was stunned for a moment, Xiao Jingting used to like to gamble when he had nothing to do, but this time when he came back, Xiao Jingting didn't gamble much, he didn't expect the little fool to bet on it, Xiao Xiaofan was only a little bit old, and he started to gamble So, how does Xiao Jingting teach children
"He went alone?" Zheng Pei'er asked.
"No, Second Uncle went with him." Xiao Yuefeng said.
Hearing this, Xiao Qingyan raised his head to look at Xiao Yuefeng, and said suspiciously: "Since ancient times, the money piled up in the mountains can't fill the quarry. There is no such thing as tens of thousands of taels of silver, so I dare not go in easily. I am a fool." Is that much money?"
"The little fool chose a lot of stones, and in the end it cost more than 8,000 taels. The little fool himself had 3,000 taels. Xiao Xiaodong gave him 3,000 taels, and the second uncle gave him another 2,000 taels. .” Xiao Yuefeng said.
"Eight thousand taels? Son, did you make a mistake, isn't it eight hundred taels!" Zheng Pei'er couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Eight thousand taels, how much is that! The pocket money that Xiao Qingyan gave her every month was only a few hundred taels of silver. Fortunately, her natal family would make up for it, otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to afford clothes and jewelry.
How old is Xiao Xiaofan! Such a tiny bit of size, where can I get three thousand taels of silver to control.
Xiao Yuefeng shook his head and said, "I didn't! Quan San also saw it, mother, you can ask him if you don't believe me! It's indeed three thousand taels, the little fool bought a bunch of broken stones."
Zheng Pei'er: "..." What did Xiao Jingting think, that he would give children so much money.
Xiao Qingyan squinted his eyes. He went to Xiao Jinfeng's shop to have a look today, and found that the business was really good, and I heard that because of the bad weather today, the business was already considered bad. Xiao Qingyan always felt that the shop mentioned in Zheng Pei'er's letter How good the business is in China is exaggerated, but after a real visit, you will know how good the business is.
Before, his father and mother both intentionally asked him to help his second and third younger brothers, but he didn't take it to heart at the time, and he will bring it up again, I'm afraid it's too late, Xiao Qingyan secretly regrets that he was careless for a while and missed the opportunity .
"Mother, didn't you say that children don't need to have a lot of pocket money? But, the little fool has three thousand taels." Xiao Yuerong said dissatisfied.
Zheng Pei'er frowned and said, "Don't make trouble."
Xiao Yuerong said sullenly: "Mother, you are too stingy. You see, third uncle is so generous to that idiot. I want to buy a toy, but you still don't buy it for me."
Xiao Yuerong's speaker had no intention, but Xiao Qingyan's listener was interested. Xiao Qingyan thought to himself: It's really not good to be alone. In the past, I was the first to own everything at home. As a result, now my younger brother owns a beverage shop. Much richer than him.
…
Xiao Jingting got what Xiao Xiaofan got by gambling with stones, he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, he didn't even eat dinner.
Xiao Xiaofan originally wanted to inform Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan to have dinner, but Xiao Xiaodong stopped him.
Xiao Xiaodong felt that his parents might be with you and me, and they didn't have time to eat, so he stopped Xiao Xiaodong and told Xiao Xiaofan to eat some buns and steamed buns before going to bed. Although Xiao Xiaofan was reluctant, he still reluctantly accepted.
Early the next morning, the family had breakfast together as usual.
"Son, the pile of rocks you bought yesterday is not bad." Xiao Jingting rubbed Xiao Xiaofan's head, full of admiration.
Xiao Xiaofan was full of excitement and said: "It's not bad, those stones are very comfortable to touch! I knew you would like it, Daddy, but my elder brother said I wasted money, and my second uncle said it's not an example."
"Those stones are very comfortable to the touch, why are they so comfortable?" Xiao Jingting was a little confused.
Xiao Xiaofan tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "I don't know! It's just very comfortable!"
Xiao Xiaodong gave Xiao Xiaofan a strange look, but didn't say anything.
Xiao Xiaodong originally thought it was a waste of money for his brother to buy stones, but seeing his brother crying and fussing, with the look of you not agreeing to me, and me peeing my pants in the store, he had to compromise.
But looking at the reaction of his parents now, Xiao Xiaodong immediately thought that there might be some good things in yesterday's pile of things. Could it be that his younger brother said that a blind cat met a dead mouse.
Xiao Jingting glanced at Xiao Xiaodong and said, "Xiaodong, the soft pillow you gave is not bad either."
Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad."
While the family was having dinner, Xiao Jingting received a message from Xiao Linfeng to return to Xiao's house immediately.
"What's wrong?" Xu Muan asked.
Xiao Jingting frowned and said, "I don't know, father told me to go back quickly."
Xu Mu'an was a little confused: "Why did you suddenly let me go back?"
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, "I don't know either, it seems to be something urgent."
"I know what it is." Xiao Xiaofan raised his hand and said.
"What do you know!" Xu Muan looked at Xiao Xiaofan and asked.
"It must be something wrong with uncle's drug use, so grandpa called you over in a hurry. Uncle is really ignorant. He is still taking drugs at a very old age. I know I can't do it." Xiao Xiaofan sighed and shook his head.
Xiao Jingting: "..." Why does my son never forget Xiao Qingyan's drug use
"Hurry up and eat." Xiao Xiaodong put two pieces of meat into Xiao Xiaofan's bowl, making Xiao Xiaofan flattered for a while.
…
"It's all here!" Xiao Qingyan glanced at Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng and said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, "Yes! Father, what do you want us for?"
Xiao Linfeng said with a sullen face, "The Hou Mansion just came to order that all the big families in Mocheng should participate in the competition organized by the Hou Mansion."
Xiao Jingting asked curiously: "Father, what is Dabi? Is there a reward?"
Xiao Linfeng glanced at Xiao Jingting, and said: "Of course there are rewards in the big competition! Moreover, the rewards are very generous, but generally very few people can survive the big competition, and most of the people who can get the rewards are He is a young man from the Hou Mansion."
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Linfeng in confusion, and said, "There are very few survivors, why?"
"In order to ensure the absolute control of the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion does not want too many geniuses to appear in the cities under its jurisdiction. Therefore, the Hou Mansion's hosting of this competition is actually a conspiracy to stimulate entry with high rewards. The people in it are killing each other."
Xiao Jingting: "..." This world is really scary! However, there are only so many resources, and it is not surprising that they can kill each other to compete for resources.
"In the Hou's Mansion, some of the existences of your age have trained Qi to the seventh level, or even to the eighth level. Compared with them, you have no competitiveness at all."
"Moreover, according to the past practice, the competition adopts a points system. At the beginning of the competition, the Hou Mansion will give each participant an iron medal, and then, that iron medal is worth ten points, and the other contestants' iron medals will be won. , can increase points." Xiao Linfeng said.
Xiao Jingting: "..." Isn't the Hou Mansion forcing the contestants to kill themselves
"Then if you meet a difficult opponent, just send out the iron card." Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Qingyan glanced at Xiao Jingting with disdain, and said, "You have only this ambition, surrender before fighting."
Xiao Jingting: "..." Encountering a very difficult opponent, it seems that it is not a shame to protect yourself wisely. It is sad to be a hero and lose your life in vain. He has died once. He is really not good at backbone. How important is it.
"Your choice is also correct, but the first time you meet a difficult opponent, maybe the opponent will let you go because you voluntarily gave up your ID card, but the second time, they will not believe that you threw out your ID card , people will only think that you hid your ID card, kill you and search your body." Xiao Linfeng said coldly.
Xiao Jingting gulped back his saliva, feeling his heart beating wildly, oh, this terrible world, how can he mess up like this!
"Father, can you not participate in the competition!" Xiao Jingting asked.
"There were too many casualties in the competition organized by the Hou's Mansion. There was also a city that united before and chose not to participate." Xiao Linfeng suddenly stopped at this point.
Xiao Jingting's eyes widened full of curiosity, Xiao Qingyan glanced at Xiao Jingting contemptuously, and then said: "As a result, the Hou Mansion dispatched two foundations to take the big players who were invited to compete in that city but did not succeed. The family was slaughtered cleanly!"
Xiao Jingting took a deep breath, this world where masters kill without breaking the law is really embarrassing!
"This time, the Hou's Mansion gave us invitations from the four major families in Mocheng. The four major families practice Qi on the fifth level, and monks who are above the fifth level and under the age of forty must participate. The three of you are all within the quota. Now, there are thirty-six cities, and Mocheng ranks third from the bottom. Sometimes you may not receive invitations, but this time..." Xiao Linfeng's voice was low, and there was a lingering worry between his brows.
"Father, don't worry. I heard that the top ten in this competition will be rewarded with Bing Xin Dan. I will definitely perform well and win glory for you." Xiao Qingyan said confidently.
"Just do your best." Xiao Linfeng said.
Xiao Jinfeng squinted his eyes. Under normal circumstances, the higher the reward, the greater the danger of the competition. For the reward, the monks inside would do everything possible. Looking at his father's attitude, Xiao Jinfeng easily found that his father seemed to be not interested in his elder brother. How optimistic.
"Then go in and find a place to hide, okay?" Xiao Jingting asked.
Xiao Linfeng nodded and said, "Yes, but many of the contestants are proficient in tracking, so it's not easy to hide."
"Third brother, why are you trying to escape!" Xiao Qingyan asked.
Xiao Jingting smiled awkwardly, and said, "Father said that there will be monks from the seventh level of Qi training and the eighth level of Qi training participating!"
Xiao Qingyan said disdainfully: "Even if this is the case, you shouldn't just retreat like this!"
"Should I send it up and let someone chop it up!" Xiao Jingting said angrily.
"Enough, it's time like this, you don't know how to help each other, you only know how to fight in the nest." Xiao Linfeng said angrily.
Xiao Jingting shut his mouth embarrassingly. As a young man in the 21st century who was born under the red flag and grew up in the new era, Xiao Jingting obeyed the law since he was a child and never killed a mouse. He suddenly heard that he was going to fight with a group of people to the death. Is he surprised
"Well, in another seven days, you will be on your way to the territory of the Hou Mansion. Before that, you should prepare well." Xiao Linfeng said.
"Qi Tian, why are you in such a hurry!" Xiao Jingting said.
"The Hou Mansion also promulgated the decree suddenly, just to catch people off guard." Xiao Linfeng said.
Xiao Jingting: "..." The Hou Mansion is really wicked! Xiao Jingting suddenly remembered that when he was in Tuqiu Village, the people who came to ask him for a fine were people from the Hou Mansion.
"Xiao Ting, you are very indulgent to your two sons!" Xiao Qingyan said suddenly.
Xiao Jingting: "...Brother, why did you say such a thing!"
Xiao Qingyan smiled and said: "You gave 8,000 taels of silver to your son who is not as high as the table to gamble with stones. Isn't that conniving? Third brother, you don't know how to honor your parents even if you have silver, so leave it to you." Son prodigal, what do you think!"
Xiao Jingting: "..." What do you think, he is happy.
Xiao Jingting smiled and said: "Brother, you don't understand this. Gambling with stones is all about luck. Children are lucky. In fact, last time I bought so many stones, I also sold some useful things. After all, it’s not a loss.”
Xiao Qingyan said angrily: "Jing Ting, you really dote on children, you can say such nonsense, he spent eight thousand taels!"
Xiao Jingting: "..." What he said was indeed false, not counting anything else, just that Lingzhu was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"Why am I talking nonsense? Xiaofan bought it expensively, and the hit rate is high!" Xiao Jingting said angrily.
Xiao Linfeng looked at Xiao Jingting and said, "Jingting, is there really such a thing? Your son is so young, and he started gambling with stones?"
Xiao Jingting: "..." His son is so hot! "Xiaofan is ignorant, but luckily he was lucky, so he didn't suffer."
Xiao Linfeng was a little suspicious: "Really?"
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, "Father, can I still lie to you? I didn't pick up my money."
Xiao Linfeng nodded and said, "You just need to be sensible."
