It has to be said that it is quite difficult. The wheel is divided into about sixty sections, of which only about twenty have animal images, and the animal images are unique, meaning you only get one chance.
"I love rabbits, Lazy Ling, are you ready?"
Yunling, knowing the odds were 1 to 10, simply pulled a string of copper coins from her sleeve. She didn't know exactly how many there were, but she just placed them on the table and said softly:
"bring it on."
Pei Lin raised an eyebrow, and with a downward push along the edge of the turntable, it started to spin.
Gangzi and Tang Ling immediately squinted to help see which area the rabbit was in, but the spinning wheel was moving too fast for them to keep up. Just as they were thinking of helping after the spinning speed slowed down, suddenly, a dart flew straight towards the spinning wheel and landed in one of the areas with a "thud".
Pei Lin quickly stopped the spinning wheel. The dart that had landed in the rabbit area glittered in the candlelight, and he was stunned!
"Little Lazyling, is this just a coincidence? I don't believe you have such ability. Here we go again, I want the wolf. This rabbit has entered the wolf's den and will never return. All your copper coins will end up in my pocket."
"Don't play dumb. This string of coins is what I used to shoot the rabbit. This next string is for shooting the wolf. You'd better empty your pockets today. If I find you missing even one, I won't let you off the hook."
Pei Lin wasn't worried or scared at all. He knew how difficult this thing was. When he was young, Pei Yuan often took him to play in the streets on the days when the government opened the gambling market. He remembered clearly that the Bagua plate spun very fast, like a bottomless pit, and robbed him of all his New Year's money at once.
At that time, he made up his mind to win once. So when he returned home, he asked his father to make him a large roulette wheel. Every day, he threw darts at it. He finally mastered the skill of hitting the bullseye every time and redeemed himself in poker.
Yunling had never been exposed to martial arts before, nor did she come from a military family that had trained in martial arts since childhood. How could she possibly have the ability to hit the bullseye every time? Her shooting of the rabbit just now was probably just a coincidence.
only……
As he spun the wheel vigorously again, the moment his hand left the edge of the wheel, the dart once again landed with a "thud" in the area with the wolf portrait.
Pei Lin's hands trembled as he gripped the turntable, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"That can't be..."
He quickly picked up a dart and stood next to Yunling. With a shout of "Yo-ho Zifu," he spun the dart, then held his breath and focused. When the image of the wolf appeared again, he couldn't wait to fly it in the predetermined direction and hit the target, but his whole body leaned out more than halfway.
"Damn it, Little Lazy Ling, are you possessed?"
"Or are you possessed by a ghost? I knew it, I knew it, we have to pay respects to ghosts and gods on New Year's Eve."
Yunling slapped the man on the back of the head and said speechlessly:
"Screw you, this is my skill. If you don't understand, shut up. Hey, before you shut up, make sure you calculate the money properly."
Pei Lin covered the back of his head, slightly dissatisfied.
"No, there are other ways to play this game. You and I will try to throw a coin. If you're really that good, then I'll admit defeat."
"You son of a bitch, you're a man of your word. I don't care if you accept it or not. If you don't accept it, I'll beat you until you do."
As Yunling spoke, she grabbed Pei Lin's clothes, intending to reach into his arms.
Lu Yinghuai didn't miss Pei Lin's sly smirk; he guessed Pei Lin probably wished Yun Ling would beat him up in order to get closer to him.
Lu Yinghuai immediately pulled Yun Ling aside and said:
“Lingniang, I think what Lin-ge’er said makes a lot of sense.”
"Your dart-throwing skills are impressive, but not all stalls have a Bagua compass; some rely on coin tossing. Why don't you show off to them?"
“I told him that he had to settle his previous debts first, or I would chop off his hand.”
Pei Lincai didn't believe Yunling would treat him like this. He opened his arms to Yunling, waiting for her to come over so he could hug her and act coquettishly. But instead, it was Lu Yinghuai who greeted him.
Seeing that he couldn't dissuade Yunling, Lu Yinghuai simply joined the debt collection effort. While having Zifu count how many copper coins were on the table, he reached into Pei Lin's pocket. In the ensuing struggle, he simply pulled out a banknote.
“One hundred strings of cash, Lingniang. We won’t refund any extra, and we won’t make up for any shortfall.”
Yunling was overjoyed, while Pei Lin, with a dark face, kicked Lu Yinghuai's butt twice, and that was the end of it.
For the next round of coin tossing, Pei Lin refused to be the dealer. He had no idea how lucky he was to win such a game, and he was worried that someone else might beat him, which would be a huge loss for him. So he gave up.
Even without a dealer, Yunling's enthusiasm for tossing coins remained undiminished.
She placed the coin on her index finger and flicked it upwards with her thumb, causing the coin to tumble in the air. Seeing Yunling do this, the others were naturally aroused and joined in tossing the coins. Even without betting, they could still have some fun.

The hourglass ticked away slowly, the snacks on the table gradually disappeared, and at midnight, a new hustle and bustle filled the streets.
"Selling idiocy, selling idiocy, I'll sell your idiocy for a thousand coins, I'll sell your stupidity for ten thousand coins, and I'll give you more when I've sold them all. If you want credit, come with me."
"Selling idiocy, selling idiocy, a fortune..."
Yunling, clutching a copper coin, leaned against the railing and peered down into the alleyway where a blond-haired boy carrying candy was skipping and singing "Selling Foolishness."
Yunling enjoyed the lively and festive atmosphere, and she joined in the cheerful chatter.
"Selling idiocy, selling idiocy!"
"Stop pretending to be stupid. Come over here and fumigate with this sesame paste and atractylodes to ward off plague and dampness. Then have a sip of Tusu wine to cure the evil spirits in your body."
"You're the one with the evil aura."
Yunling rolled her eyes at Pei Lin, but thinking that this was a custom on New Year's Eve, she did as he suggested.
After each person took a sip of Tusu wine and packed their belongings, they boarded a carriage and returned to their house amidst the sounds of firecrackers.
Whether it was because she had drunk alcohol or because she felt too lively, Yunling was not very sleepy. She went back to her room, took out two red bags, put a string of coins in each bag, and then delivered them to Tang Ling and Gangzi's rooms as New Year's money.
Yunling received kind words from the two men as she returned to the house. She took off her snow-covered coat and was warming herself by the charcoal brazier when there was a knock on her window three times. The candlelight cast the shadow of the knocker onto the window paper, and as soon as the familiar outline appeared, Yunling knew who it was without even asking.
