Chapter 19 Don't think about leaving if you win
Lu Yundi knew clearly that this katydid was of great significance to Yan Canglan. When she took it, she showed a satisfied smile on her face and assured him repeatedly: "Of course, I will never sit idly by and do nothing about your sister."
She turned around easily and left with brisk steps, as if she was secretly glad that her "plan" had succeeded.
Yan Canglan frowned, always feeling that she was up to something bad!
After he came to his senses, he felt very confused and curious about the fact that Lu Yundi had lent him the katydid.
Yan Canglan decided to follow Lu Yundi to see what her intentions were. As night fell, the moonlight sprinkled on the path in the courtyard like water, following Lu Yundi silently like a ghost.
Lu Yundi walked briskly, as if she was full of confidence in what she was about to do. She held the jar of katydids in her hand, and looked down from time to time, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.
Yan Canglan followed closely behind, secretly observing her every move.
Soon, Lu Yundi stopped and turned to look in the direction of Yan Canglan.
Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she seemed to have noticed his following. Yan Canglan's heart tightened, and he was about to explain, but he heard Lu Yundi said coldly: "Yan Canglan, why are you following me?"
Yan Canglan was slightly stunned, then responded calmly: "Mother, I am worried that something happened to you, so I wanted to come and see you. After all, your recent behavior is a little...abnormal."
A trace of anger flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Don't worry about my business. I'm telling you, I'm going to dress up as a man and take Guoguo to Kowloon Street to gamble with the guy who won several hundred taels from you before. If you dare to stop me, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Yan Canglan heard this and was eager to try: "I want to go too!"
"You can go, but you must absolutely listen to me and act according to circumstances. Do you understand?" Lu Yundi hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
At this time, Kowloon Street was bustling with traffic and people. Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan walked through the bustling crowd and came to the place where Dou Guagua was. As soon as they walked into the stall, they heard the stall owner complaining about the poor business.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a face full of flesh. He looked at the empty stall, shook his head and sighed, "Oh, I'm so unlucky today. Not even a single enemy came to my door. How can I do business? Yesterday, that stupid and rich young master gave me two hundred taels of silver for nothing. It's a pity that he was caught by his mother. Otherwise, I could have made more money!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Canglan's face suddenly turned gloomy.
He is the one who is stupid and has a lot of money!
Seeing this, Lu Yundi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and fanned the flames: "Yan Canglan, listen to this, this stall owner actually dared to say that you are an unfortunate person, isn't this obviously looking down on you?"
A fierce light flashed in Yan Canglan's eyes, and he clenched his fists and said, "I'm so pissed! Let me teach him a lesson."
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go together."
The two walked up to the stall owner, and Lu Yundi shook the katydid jar in her hand, and the katydids inside made crisp chirping sounds. She looked at the stall owner and said in a flat tone: "Boss, let's have a katydid fight, please tell us the rules."
The stall owner recognized the young master Yan Canglan at a glance. When he saw the katydid in Lu Yundi's hand, a greedy light flashed in his eyes. Then he carefully looked at Lu Yundi who had changed into men's clothes, and thought to himself: This man is dressed luxuriously, but his eyes are clear and stupid. He looks like a real sucker!
So, the stall owner introduced the rules of the katydid fight in detail. Each side put out a katydid, and no matter what means were used, the owner of the defeated katydid had to pay a certain amount of money to the winner.
After hearing the rules, Lu Yundi sneered and said, "Boss, let's have a big bet today. The loser has to pay eight hundred taels of silver."
Eight...eight hundred taels!
When the boss of Dou Gua Gua heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his composure. He looked Lu Yundi up and down, as if assessing her strength.
The people around began to talk and speculate who this heroic woman was.
Yan Canglan stood aside with a complicated expression, feeling both surprised and worried. He couldn't help but walked forward and whispered, "Do you really want to bet so much? If you lose, we will lose a lot!"
Lu Yundi glanced at Yan Canglan and said calmly: "Canglan, don't worry, I know what to do."
The boss coughed and broke the silence: "Madam, since you insist on gambling, I will play with you. However, you have to let me see your katydid to avoid any unfairness."
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, took out an exquisite little jar from his sleeve and opened it gently.
Everyone saw a slightly larger katydid jumping in the cage, which seemed to be nothing special. But the owner of the katydid fighting shop had a hint of surprise in his eyes, as he knew very well how powerful this katydid was.
"Okay, in that case, let's get started." The boss said, and took out a silver note with a full value of eight hundred taels from his pocket, then took out a katydid from his jar and placed it on the fighting stage.
Everyone gathered around, and Yan Canglan stared at the fighting stage nervously.
Lu Yundi confidently placed the eight hundred taels of silver in front of him, gently patted the jar in his hand, and whispered to Yan Canglan: "Don't worry, I will make sure you win a lot of money."
The katydid fight began, and two katydids met on the fighting stage. At first they just touched each other tentatively, but as time went on, the atmosphere became more and more tense.
Everyone watched with bated breath, only to see that Lu Yundi's katydid suddenly exerted force and knocked the other katydid to the ground, with the katydid fainting on the spot.
"We win! We win!"
Yan Canglan jumped three feet high with excitement!
The boss of Dou Guagua's face turned pale instantly. He didn't expect that his gullible would be so vulnerable.
The audience around burst into warm applause, praising Lu Yundi's katydid for its bravery.
"Boss, thank you for your kindness." Lu Yundi smiled proudly and put the two eight hundred tael silver notes into his arms.
After winning the money, Lu Yundi decided to quit and put the katydids into a jar. Just as he was about to leave with Yan Canglan, unexpectedly, the boss of Fighting Kayak suddenly blocked their way with a few burly men.
The boss had dark skin, cunning eyes, and an ambiguous smile on his lips. He looked Lu Yundi up and down and said, "This young man won some money from us, so you want to leave?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and pretended to be innocent: "Boss, it's not like we didn't give you face. The game just now has been decided. Why not stop while we are ahead?"
A trace of anger flashed in the boss's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He chuckled and said, "Madam, you misunderstood. Our katydid fighting is all about fair competition. Since you dare to place a bet, you should have the courage to accept our challenge."
