Chapter 270 Stay Away from Gambling
"Alright, stop with the nonsense. Now that you're here, have you figured out how you're going to find out the whereabouts of the Lord of the Underworld? Do you want to come along?"
"No need. I have my own ways. I won't go with that person. You guys better not follow me."
After Fang Duobing finished speaking, he went into the city alone, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
“Did you hear that? He said someone is you, and he named you by name.” Wu You nudged Li Lianhua’s arm.
"I know, it seems he's still angry and concerned about what happened before." Seeing Fang Duobing like this, Li Lianhua also felt a little uncomfortable.
"Don't think too much about it. Judging from Fang Duobing's state today, he's probably calmed down a lot. As for why he's like this, I think it's just that he's still sharp-tongued and doesn't want to forgive you so easily."
Wu You comforted her, saying, "Don't let Li Lianhua think about it anymore, or you'll just make yourself suffer."
"I hope so. Let's go, let's go into the city and inquire about Lianquandao's whereabouts." With that, the three of them stepped into the small town.
The small town of Lizhou is located in a remote area and has a small population, but it looks very prosperous and the streets are very lively.
Perhaps influenced by the abundance of jade in the area, most of the items sold by vendors on the street are related to jade.
The most common items are jade pendants and bracelets, while more refined items include earrings and hairpins. They come in all shapes and sizes, with exquisite designs and beautiful styles.
Compared to the vendors and stalls outside, the shops inside are much more luxurious and beautiful, and their prices are much higher than those of the vendors.
Li Lianhua, Wu You, and Nanfeng had no destination; they simply strolled along, browsing and buying whatever caught their eye, either for their collection or as gifts later.
In particular, a pair of exquisitely carved earrings, each adorned with a lifelike lotus flower, caught Wu You's eye at first glance. Without even haggling over the price, she bought them in full.
Unexpectedly, as they walked, they saw several jade gambling shops on the street. Wu You had never seen them before; he had only read about them in novels.
Out of curiosity, Wu You dragged Li Lianhua over to see what was going on. They saw someone overjoyed because they had unearthed a fine piece of jade, doubling its value.
I also saw someone who bought a piece of scrap rock and found nothing but waste material inside, and collapsed to the ground, crying uncontrollably. He looked so pitiful.
As expected, jade gambling is entirely based on chance; one cut can make you rich, another can bankrupt you. The knives in this jade gambling shop are indeed too ruthless.
"So interested? Want to make a bet?" Li Lianhua asked, noticing Wu You craning her neck to look at the crowd with sparkling eyes.
"No, no, I'm not particularly interested. I'm just curious because I've never seen it before."
Wu You quickly refused: "I've heard that gambling on jade is very addictive. One cut and your value doubles, which is indeed tempting. But it's a bad habit, so it's best not to get involved."
"Since we're not gambling and we've seen it all, let's go." Li Lianhua held Wu You's hand, worried that someone might accidentally step on her in the crowd.
"Okay." Wu You glanced back one last time before leaving.
It's best to avoid gambling altogether. Some might think that a little gambling is harmless fun, but excessive gambling is harmful. They might argue that it's just playing cards during the Lunar New Year, without any real money involved. Even if you do lose money, you're all relatives and friends; it's just money going from one pocket to another.
