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

Chapter 245 Lantern Festival (2)

Gu Qinghan came to the wishing stall and saw the scene in front of him. He pursed his lips slightly, walked quickly forward, and reached out to pull away the man who was standing in front of the wishing stall and making a fuss.

"Hey, who is it? Don't you have eyes?" The man struggled, tried to pull away the big hand that was pulling him, and shouted loudly.

"What are you doing in front of this stall?" Gu Qinghan didn't take the man's struggling efforts seriously at all.

Seeing this, the passers-by nearby applauded.

"How can you be such a shameless person? You refuse to admit your loss? Why are you bullying a little girl?" An old lady couldn't help but speak up to defend Xu Yuan.

"It's just bad luck for this girl. I know this guy. He owes a lot of money in the casino. If he didn't have a rich father, how could he still be standing here intact?"

"Bah. What kind of girl is she? Didn't you see the machete in her hand?" The man glared at Xu Yuan and shouted at everyone.

"Why, do you really want to taste the machete in my hand?" Xu Yuan looked at the man in front of him with an unfriendly tone. It was this man who randomly matched two games of Landlord with passers-by. After losing several times in a row, he lost money and started to cheat and make unreasonable demands. He drove away the customers who were playing poker, and even the business of melon seeds and peanuts was affected.

The machete was brought with me in case someone came to cause trouble.

I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon, but unfortunately the guy in front of me was so thick-skinned that he didn't feel any pain at all until the knife hit him.

Xu Yuan intended to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect Gu Qinghan to find here.

"Humph, if you have the guts, throw it at my head. Am I not afraid of you? I think you are just using it to scare people."

"what!"

The man suddenly yelled, his face changed drastically, and he looked painful, "It hurts, it hurts, let me go."

Gu Qinghan let go and stood next to Xu Yuan.

"Just wait for me." The man threatened fiercely. When he met the two men's eyes as if he was looking at a dead body, he trembled all over unexpectedly. He averted his gaze and turned away guiltily.

"This handsome young man and this girl are a perfect match. They both have naturally cool and aloof looks."

"Yes, yes, I don't know if these two know each other. This handsome young man looks like a good match for my girl."

"Why do you women like to match people up so much? Have you asked the other party for consent?" A man listened to the discussion between the two women in front of him and could not help but interrupt them.

"Go away, we women are talking, why are you, a grown man, butting in on us?"

"Hmph, I won't bother with you." Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the big man left with the packaged melon seeds and peanuts in his hand.

A woman in the crowd heard the two women's questions, clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, looked at the two people in the stall, and then turned and left.

The maid following beside him hurriedly caught up with the hurriedly leaving figure.

Soon the wishing booth returned to calm.

"How did you find it?"

Gu Qinghan asked back: "I can't find it?"

"You..." Xu Yuan was about to speak, but when he saw the guest walking forward, he closed his mouth and stood up to entertain the guest.

"Girl, how much are the five-spice melon seeds?" A passerby who had just tasted the five-spice melon seeds at Uncle Pan finally saw the sign and walked forward.

I saw some peanuts in shells next to it. They were sold at Fu Ji Grain Store some time ago. Could it be that they also have flavor?

Seeing the man's doubts, Xuyuan kindly took a peanut and handed it to him, "You can try it."

"A bamboo tube of melon seeds costs six coins, and peanuts costs eight coins."

"Okay, give me a bamboo tube each."

Xu Yuan quickly wrapped the package and gave it to the man, then took the money, sat down, and looked at Gu Qinghan who had already started to solicit customers in the back.

In order to make it easier for everyone to know the rules of the game, Xuyuan has already prepared diagrams. The four tables are for three-player and four-player games respectively. An entrance fee of six cents per person is required. After a stick of incense, the winner will keep a record. The game is based on the principle of winning a game and getting two cents. After all, this is not a proper casino, but just an entertainment game.

After seeing that everyone was familiar with each other, Gu Qinghan sat back down next to Xu Yuan.

"Here's the entrance fee. Twenty-four cents for four people."

"Thank you." Xu Yuan took the half of the copper coin and handed it to Gu Qinghan, "You helped me entertain the guests, this is for you."

"I do not want."

Gu Qinghan pushed Xu Yuan's hand away, a little angrily, "Do you really want to calculate so clearly with me?"

Xu Yuan asked back: "What else?"

Gu Qinghan held his forehead helplessly and said, "Xuyuan, I don't want the money. I didn't help much. If you really want to thank me, come with me when we light the lanterns later."

"What's so good about the lanterns?" It would be better to pay for it, Xuyuan thought to himself.

“I just want to go see the lights.”

With you.

Gu Qinghan answered silently in his heart.

"Okay, I promise you." Seeing Gu Qinghan's expectant face, Xu Yuan felt embarrassed to refuse. It's just to look at the lights, such a simple thing, so just go.

Seeing Xu Yuan agreed, Gu Qinghan raised the corners of his lips slightly and smiled.

Xuyuan averted his gaze. Why were you smiling so beautifully? Are you so happy?

"Hey, who's kid is laughing so happily? I feel embarrassed watching him."

Xu Yuan knew who the voice was from the questioning tone without even looking up.

Gu Qinghan heard the familiar voice, put away his smile, gritted his teeth and said, "Junyong, why did you come here?"

Li Junyong crossed his arms, looked at the wishing booth, and then looked at Gu Qinghan: "I can't come over?"

Xu Yuan looked up immediately. Why did these words sound so familiar?

"cannot!"

Gu Qinghan rejected it outright.

"Tsk, you, how can I say you're so nice, you really have... um"

Gu Qinghan knew that Li Junyong could not say anything nice, and fearing that he would make Xu Yuan unhappy, he pressed the man's mute point in time.

What gave Li Jun the courage was the threatening gestures.

Gu Qinghan nodded again.

"Gu Qinghan, are you sick? How can you treat your brothers like this?"

Li Junyong stepped forward and kicked Gu Qinghan directly.

"Wow!"

"Ok?"

Where did the sound come from?

Xu Yuan was watching attentively from the side and couldn't help but feel puzzled. He looked around and found a pair of small hands raised in front of the stall.

"Two big brothers who are so good-looking, will they fight?" A childish voice came from under the stall, looking at the two grown men who were fighting nearby with an infatuated look on his face.

Gu Qinghan, who was still dodging Li Junyong's angry and random kicks, just stood there and looked at the little girl below, "We are not fighting, we are just exchanging martial arts."
