This score left everyone feeling uneasy, like a thorn stuck in their hearts. Though they couldn't see it, it kept pricking them, making them uncomfortable all over.
The spectators in the audience had different thoughts. The bookmaker frowned. Seventeen thousand. If Liu Erlang lost, he would have to pay out seventeen thousand. Damn it, he shouldn't have underestimated his opponent and set the odds so high.
Or... give that 1,700 strings of cash...
But Tang Ling seemed to have guessed his thoughts. She quickly picked up a stone from the side and pressed it hard on the box. Before the outcome was decided, no one should make any rash moves.
Liu Erlang on the field was also unsettled. He had really underestimated this girl. However, after several attempts to get together, he had figured out Yun Ling's playing style. So he focused on having his men surround and suppress Yun Ling, preventing her from touching the ball.
On the last serve, Liu Erlang got the ball first, and Chen Jie immediately ran towards his own goal, intercepted the ball first and hit it back. Lu Yinghuai caught the ball and passed it to Yun Ling.
Victory seemed within reach, but the three opponents had already set their sights on Yunling. As soon as the ball came, they raised their clubs and hit Yunling without saying a word. Yunling cursed and leaned back to dodge, and the ball was hit back.
"Trying to fight us is truly courting death."
Yunling didn't bother with them and rode forward, but the three men stuck to her like glue. Yunling had no choice but to use her golf club to smash the ground, kicking up a cloud of sand behind her.
The three men were blinded by sand and had to stop temporarily, allowing Yunling to escape. She spurred her horse slightly, making it run faster.
Lu Yinghuai was trying his best to intercept Liu Erlang's follow-up shot. The two clubs collided, and the ball swirled between the two clubs. Finally, Liu Erlang suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Yinghuai. Lu Yinghuai lost his grip, and the ball was hit by Liu Erlang into his own goal.
Closer, closer and closer.
The people in the audience stood up excitedly, muttering to themselves.
"Beat! Beat! Beat! Beat! Beat!"
"Get rich! Get rich! Get rich!"
"I knew it, Liu Erlang would definitely..."
Just before the goal was about to be scored, Yunling arrived in time, intercepted the shot, and spun it back. Everyone on the field immediately rushed towards the ball.
Seeing that Yunling had ruined his plans, Liu Erlang wished he could drink her blood and eat her flesh. He immediately spurred his horse toward her and raised his polo mallet to strike her hard.
Yunling quickly turned to the side, and to avoid the falling club, she even lay flat against the horse's belly.
In an instant, the ball was hit into the sky, and everyone raised their clubs to try to intercept it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yunling returned to her horse, then leaped into the air and smashed the ball into the goal with one stroke, before landing smoothly back on her horse. Her movements were fluid and efficient, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"I got it!"
"We won! We won!!!"
As soon as Tang Ling finished speaking, the incense stick in the incense burner burned out, and another yellow flag was lit. Yun Ling's team won the match. There was no thunderous applause from the audience, only Tang Ling's faint but extremely inspiring applause, as if she had clapped her hands until they were almost broken.
Chen Jie and Gangzi were overjoyed and wanted to hug each other. They knew that their great-aunt was the most amazing.
Yunling's excitement was beyond words. The thought of having 20,000 strings of cash, without having to bring the money from home, and being able to take it back with her, made her so excited that she rode her horse around the field. After completing one lap, she deliberately turned back to face Lu Yinghuai.
She deftly brushed a stray strand of hair back from her forehead and said with a smile:
"Xiao Huai, what did you tell me to call you just now?"
The person before me was confident and flamboyant, his heroic spirit shining brightly under the sun. He was the same person who had just claimed that he could ride a horse and that he was very good at it.
At this moment, Lu Yinghuai's desire to marry her reached its peak.
"I think it should be called Big Fool."
After saying this, Yunling quickly rode away to avoid being scolded.
Lu Yinghuai shook his head and chuckled. Come to think of it, the title of "big fool" really suited him. Otherwise, how could he have fallen into the trap she set without realizing it, and even wanted to act as her husband? He just wanted to be her husband for life, so why was it so difficult?
Seeing that his plan had failed, Lu Yinghuai had no choice but to pull on the reins and chase after Yunling.
**
Yunling was happy to have won the match. Looking at Liu Erlang, she felt less repulsive and more amiable, her palms facing upwards.
"You admit defeat, here's three thousand strings of cash."
"You! Didn't you say you couldn't ride a horse?"
Yunling shrugged and spread her hands in response:
"When did I ever say I couldn't ride a horse?"
Liu Erlang choked, then pointed at Lu Yinghuai and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"If you already know how to ride a horse, why would he teach you?"
"Oh, right, right, let's just say I can't ride a horse, but I'm very intelligent and learned it right away after he gave me some pointers. Does that make you feel better?"
Yunling said it simply, but only she knows how much effort she actually put in.
After being falsely accused of staged accidents in Zizai City, she resolved to learn to ride a horse. This way, she could better control the horse, and if she were ever falsely accused again, she would have more grounds to defend herself.
So she would take advantage of any free time to get off the carriage and ride off on horseback. But she was not good at riding, so she was always thrown off the horse. Fortunately, because of her supernatural powers, she felt like she had fallen into cotton when she fell, without any pain or itching.
So she became bold and unrestrained, trying to control her balance while riding in various positions, falling down again and again, getting up again and again, and repeating this process until she developed her own unique equestrian skills.
Upon hearing such flippant and boastful words, Liu Erlang felt as if a hedgehog was hiding in his heart. He wanted nothing more than to curse out loud. "Damn it, what a scoundrel! Isn't he just blatantly trying to fool me? Damn it, you stinking toad at the bottom of a well, a greedy monkey with no anus."
Seeing Liu Erlang's expression gradually turn fierce, Yunling roughly guessed what was going on. She quickly swung her golf club, put on a stern face, and said:
"You were on the field just now, you bumped me with a horse and hit me with a cue stick, weren't you?"
As soon as he said that, Chen Jie's hostility resurfaced, and the atmosphere around him instantly became heavy.
Gangzi said:
"Boss, we can't go too far this time. Those we beat up a few days ago are still lying in the wilderness. If the old gang leader finds out, he'll blame you for not collecting their bodies."
"Who cares? A true man doesn't concern himself with trifles."
Yunling swung the club faster and harder, even creating a gust of wind.
Liu Erlang was so frightened that his hands trembled. He swallowed hard, and with a shudder, he pulled out a stack of paper money from his pocket, counted out thirty pieces, and handed them to Yunling. Finally, managing to look presentable, he said:
"Sir, I accept my defeat."
