0376: Borrow A Little Money.
In the evening, it finally stopped snowing.
In the outer city of the imperial capital, on the streets of Linyun District, Ashe walked along the side of the street, wrapped in a coat with many patches.
There was a scarf wrapped around her head, and a few strands of long silver hair slipped out of the gap in the scarf, swinging in the wind.
The biting cold wind kept hitting the girl's face, and she subconsciously pulled the scarf wrapped around her head.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Ashe walked aimlessly in the outer city, her silvery white eyes kept scanning the surrounding environment, and murmured, "Where should I go......"
After she escaped from Liguang City, it took her grandmother and younger sister almost a month to come to the imperial capital.
However, the journey was not easy. The lack of food and thin clothes under the condition of constant snowfall made it difficult for them to live.
Fortunately, Aixi still has a "special skill". She is called a little thief cat by the residents of Liguang City, and she often goes to "borrow" things when night falls.
Especially when passing through some small villages and towns on the way, Ai 17xi would quietly sneak into the homes of some small nobles and steal their coins without anyone noticing.
"The imperial capital is really not for everyone." Ashe sighed helplessly.
After she arrived in the imperial capital with her grandma and younger sister, she bought a house in the outer city with the coins 'borrowed' from the nobles.
Of course, the house is only more than 20 square meters, and Aixi's family of three squeezed into that small house, "There are not many borrowed coins left.
So in the past few days, Ashe had to come out to 'borrow' things again, otherwise they would soon be hungry again with only a dozen copper coins left.
Originally, Ai Xi didn't want to rely on stealing to make a living, and she came to the Imperial City to seriously find a job and earn money to support her family, but no one was willing to hire her to work.
The main reason was the burn scar on the side of the girl's face, which shocked most of the bosses.
"Is the decision to come to the imperial capital really right?" Ashe walked in the dark street and fell into thought.
In addition to looking for a job, she also asked for some information about Qiao Ji, mainly because she wanted to repay her kindness.
But after several days of inquiring, Ai Xi found out that Qiao Ji was a famous figure in the imperial capital, especially when he won the first victory in the battle of Pingdingshan Fortress, it was even more unattainable.
But the girl did not give up, but she still had to fill her stomach first before repaying her kindness, otherwise why would she be talking about repaying her kindness if she couldn't survive the winter?
She came out tonight to look for 'prey', but there are still very few nobles living in the outer city, and even if they have families, they don't have many gold coins.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Just when Ashe was at a loss, several drunks passed by her, and they were all chatting with joy.
"Not to mention, our luck is really good tonight."
"Who said it wasn't? After losing for several days in a row, today can be regarded as winning some money for us.
"How about going again tomorrow? It feels like our luck is starting to improve, and we must win more money back.
"Yes, there are so many people in the casino recently, it seems that many people have made money."
Several drunk men smiled and put their arms around each other's shoulders, and walked into another tavern with drunken faces to continue drinking.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. After listening to the words of the drunks, Ashe stood still and pondered.
Rubbing her chin slightly with her red fingers from the cold wind, she murmured, "They just talked about the casino? Can you go there and try your luck?"
Just doing what she said, the girl began to ask passers-by where the casino was opened, and finally learned that it was in Linyun District where she lived.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Ashe came quietly to the vicinity of the casino in the dark night, stood in the street diagonally opposite the casino gate, and kept watching the people coming in and out.
She narrowed her silver-white eyes slightly, thinking to herself, 'I'll borrow some this time, and buy breakfast for my grandma and younger sister tomorrow.
Thinking of this, the girl pulled the scarf on her head, and walked towards the building of the casino pretending to be generous.
The gate of the casino was closed tightly, and there were still four guards standing at the gate, looking not to be trifled with.
Aixi stepped to the front of the gate and saw that none of those people stopped her, and her tense heart relaxed a little.
creak. "
As the gate was opened, Ashe followed other people who entered the casino and walked in.
As soon as she entered the casino, she was shocked by the scene inside. The spacious lobby on the first floor was filled with tables, and each table was full of people.
And there are also many women in beautiful dresses holding trays with drinks and so on.
In addition, a lot of candles were lit, making the entire hall on the first floor look like a piece of yellow and clear, quite a feeling of luxury.
"So the Emperor's Casino looks like this? Or is it only the Emperor's Casino that looks like this?" Ashe stood there at a loss for a moment.
She had only heard of casinos but had never been there, and there was no casino in Liguang City where she lived before.
"Hurry up and make a bet, buy and leave."
"I'm going to bet, I'm going to bet, bet big."
"Deal the cards to me quickly, tonight is destined to be the time for me to make a lot of money."
"Little beauty, I want a glass of warm wine here, and I will give you a tip when I win tonight.
"My money...how did I lose it again?"
The casino hall is full of noisy voices, some people are happy and some are worried, the scene looks very lively.
Ashe stood in the middle of the casino and was bumped into by someone, then slowly retreated to the side of the casino and stood there.
Her silver-white eyes began to search for the target in the casino, thinking, 'There are so many people and it's so noisy, it should be easy to get it. "
The girl thought of this and started to act. No one in the casino 760 cared about her, and they were all immersed in their respective gambling projects.
Seeing this, Ashe was even happier, and set her sights on a fat man who had just won money.
"Tat Tat Tat..."
She calmly walked to the side of the fat man. The gambling item he was playing was poker, that is, to win money by watching the points.
Ashe stood by the fat man's side waiting for the opportunity, and her silver-white eyes also followed the trend to look at the gambling table, wanting to see how such a gambling game is played.
I saw the woman who dealt cards dealt two cards to everyone sitting around the table, and then asked in a coquettish voice, "Anyone else want to add more cards?"
Aixi was a little confused seeing this scene, and murmured, "What kind of game is this? Can you make money with a few pieces of paper?"
"Send me one." said the fat man that Ashe was staring at.
"no problem."
The woman who dealt the cards gave the fat man a card and asked again, "Does anyone else need a card?"
"Send me one too." said the man sitting on the left side of the fat man.
"Okay, everyone has to calculate the points well. Sometimes a brave fight will have different results. Maybe you are the ones who make money tonight."
The woman who dealt the cards said again in a whiny voice.
Ashe looked at the woman who dealt the cards, and murmured in her heart, "The tone sounds so sweet, no wonder these men like to play so much."
