There was a slight crackling sound from the brazier used for heating in the house, which was then drowned out by other sounds the next moment.
"One."
"bump!"
"Ninety thousand."
"Win, all the same color, haha... give me money."
"Ah... I've never won once. Are you cheating?"
"Don't make excuses for not being as skilled as others. Get the money now."
"Come again, this game is interesting. I'll go buy a set from the owner of the garden. I won't be bored at home anymore."
"You win every time, so of course I think it's fun. Let's see how it goes if you lose once."
"You want to ruin my luck? No way..."
“…”
At this moment, outside the window, four carrot heads withdrew their heads and squatted in the flowers.
"Master, how do we do it?" the [monkey] asked in a low voice.
"Push, splash, run..." [Tang Monk] pushed his hands forward, stirred them randomly a few times, then clenched his fists and swung them at his sides.
“Catch them, Marquis…” [Tang Monk] pulled out four jade pendants from somewhere and distributed them to the other three.
"Push their cards down, mess them up, and then run. When you catch them, say they are from the Annan Marquis' Mansion. When you struggle, drop the jade pendant to the ground, leaving them with evidence." [Zhu Bajie] helped translate.
Tang Sanzang looked at Zhu Bajie with shining eyes and nodded heavily. [Second brother, you understand me!]
"How do you know what the master means?" [Monkey] asked with confused eyes.
She didn't understand at all, how did [Zhu Bajie] understand it so quickly? ?
Judging from the master's eyes, he has followed it word for word.
"My master and I are in tune with each other." [Zhu Bajie] chuckled: My little sister praised me again, it's great that I can listen to her inner thoughts!
"Masters, remember to protect your masks and don't let them be taken off." [White Dragon Horse] reminded.
[White Dragon Horse]: (? ? ?)?)
I don't know why, but I suddenly joined in. It must be the mask's inherent properties that affected me.
"Yeah, [White Dragon Horse] is right. If my father knew about this, he would beat me to death."
[Sha Seng] tied the mask string around his nose, tugged it a few times with his hands, and only felt relieved after confirming that it would not fall off.
[Monkey][Pigsy][Tang Monk] also checked their masks.
"Okay, kids, let's go towards our goal." [Monkey] stood up and swung his golden cudgel.
"Set off."
"Let's go."
[Tang Monk][Pigsy][Sha Monk] then stood up.
Baji——
[Tang Monk] fell down again.
"Master, you said you can't even walk steadily, so don't join in the fun. We'll just watch here." [White Dragon Horse] picked up [Tang Monk] who was prostrating herself on the ground and brushed off the leaves on her skirt.
"Go, go, go..." [Tang Monk] struggled in [White Dragon Horse]'s arms.
She wanted to go mischief too, she didn't want to just stand by and watch.
"Master, you are not even as tall as the table, how are you going to push the cards?" [White Dragon Horse] was tired and exhausted.
"We won't go. Just let your disciples go. In the storybooks, masters with superb martial arts skills usually don't take action easily, as it will ruin their style. We have to maintain the sense of mystery." [White Dragon Horse] said nonsense seriously.
After a brief silence, [Tang Seng] nodded heavily: That makes sense, real masters are all mysterious.
[White Dragon Horse] breathed a sigh of relief.
…
"Qiqi, look at your worthless smile. Are you going to win again?" The girl on Qiqi's right pouted. She had never won once.
Every time it seemed like the win was almost over, she just couldn’t get the card she wanted. Then, someone else won first, and it was the card she wanted.
"No, no, it's too early." Qiqi couldn't suppress the corner of her mouth that turned up, "Hurry up and draw the cards."
…
"Rong Yubai, did you peek at my cards?" Mr. Chu next to Rong Yubai covered his cards with both hands.
"No." Rong Yubai shook his head.
"You must have peeked and told Hai Yan. Go sit over there." As he said that, Master Chu pushed Rong Yubai.
"What are you doing? Don't push Abai!" Hai Yan protected Rong Yubai. "If you're worried about being seen, sit over there. Why are you sitting so close to us?"
"Hmph!" Master Chu glared at Rong Yubai and moved aside.
Hai Yan is a distinguished guest of Dongwu, and he can't afford to offend him.
"Abai, come closer to me." Hai Yan pulled the wheelchair closer to him, leaned close to Rong Yubai and asked in a low voice, "What's the next card?"
"Five." Rong Yubai answered in a low voice.
"Five." Hai Yan typed out five.
"Gang!" Young Master Chu jumped up and down. "Haha, I'm going to win."
There was only one card left in front of him, and the others were either "pong" or "gang" and placed aside.
"Ah!" Hai Yan exclaimed in annoyance.
"Don't worry, he can't do anything wrong." Rong Yubai said with a smile.
Through the cards that have been played and in Haiyan's hand, he has roughly figured out what other people have in their hands.
Feeding cards to Master Chu is to make him think that he is going to win, so he will hold on to the card in his hand.
However, the cards that can be paired with the one in his hand have either already been played or will not be played in the hands of others.
He is destined to lose this game.
Seeing Rong Yubai's confidence, Hai Yan believed him and asked, "What's next?"
"this--"
"Children, go!"
A sudden baby voice interrupted the thoughts of the card players at the ten tables in the room, and they turned to look at the source of the sound.
“Go, go, go!”
“Ahhh…”
Then two shouts of charge were heard.
Two little round men wearing yellow cloaks, pig masks and bearded masks rushed in from the door with strange sticks in their hands.
The little girl in the monkey mask rushed in next.
At first, everyone just thought the children were so cute and they were playing the role of little animals.
They thought otherwise when the three children rushed in front of them.
Clang—clatter—clatter—clatter—
[Zhu Bajie] waved the Nine-toothed Rake wildly on the table, and many jade diamond tiles fell to the ground.
Master Chu urgently protected his only hope of victory, his eyes wide open, stunned on the spot.
He was going to win, he was going to win soon, after more than a dozen rounds, this was the closest he had ever been to victory.
It was ruined by a "pig" that suddenly broke in!
"Ah——" Master Chu collapsed!
"What are you doing, little brat?! I'm going to win! I'm going to win!"
[Zhu Bajie] was stunned by the shouting and glared at the irritable young man. He was not afraid and was about to go to the next table when he caught a glimpse of two familiar people out of the corner of his eye.
——Brother, Hai Yan.
The moment [Zhu Bajie] rushed over, Rong Yubai recognized this stupid brother.
He quickly took Hai Yan's hand off the table, otherwise he would be hit by the Nine-toothed Rake.
I just don't understand what they are doing.
Turning to look at the door, I saw a man wearing a horse mask holding a little guy wearing a monk mask standing at the door.
The little girl waved her arms as if she was also making trouble.
It turned out that the troublemaker had come.
