Everyone had experienced the age of ignorance when love was first established.

Xu Taiping didn't know how to face Zhou Qianyun, because in this town, he was the only one who knew about her past. He was also the only one who knew what kind of mood she was in when she came to town.

Therefore, when Zhou Ziyun didn't come to seek Xu Taiping for compensation, Xu Taiping felt a little uncomfortable. It made him feel as if he owed her something.

Xu Taiping sighed and called Zhou Xiaoyu.

Not long after, Zhou Xiaoyu and the several hundred people under her command left the scenic area and arrived outside the Immortal Mountain Resort.

A few cars were lined up in the parking lot outside the villa. A large group of hoodlums, who had just experienced the beautiful natural scenery from the scenic area, were standing next to the cars.

After experiencing nature's influence, Xu Taiping felt that they had become a lot more good-looking.

"The next few days, all of you will be living in this vacation home. There are already a few families living in our town. You can drink, gamble, and play, but you can't disturb me, you know?" Xu Taiping shouted to everyone.

"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison.

The townspeople who were standing in their own rooms and looking down from their windows shuddered at the sight. They felt a little weak at the thought of living here with these people.

Would these people, who looked like fiends, be easy to get along with?

"You should rest here for the next few days. When the parts for assembling the house are in place, I will need your help. As for me, I rarely ask you to help me with anything. These houses belong to the people in our town, so I need you to help me with this matter." Xu Taiping asked.

"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison once again.

"Xiao Yu, get someone to take them to the allocated rooms. The cadres will have their own rooms. If they are lackeys, stay in the standard rooms." Xu Taiping said to Zhou Xiaoyu.

"Alright, Bro Xu!" Zhou Xiaoyu nodded and brought the few hundred people into the Immortal Mountain Resort.

Xu Taiping turned to look at the manor. He had not thought that the manor he had destroyed would actually have such a great effect. If it wasn't for this manor, he wouldn't have been able to settle his hundreds of men in the village.

After settling these people down, Xu Taiping left first and went to Tu's restaurant.

Along the way, Xu Taiping heard a lot of dice throwing sounds.

Many shops along the road were crowded with groups of people.

Usually on the 25th day of December in the Lunar New Year, everyone would set up a table on the street, and then place a bowl in the middle of the table, and three dice in the bowl. Then, one person would be in charge of the house, while the other people would put down money, and then each person would roll the dice and decide whether they would win or lose.

In China, there were a few things that were required for the Spring Festival: one was a variety of couplets, one was fireworks, and the other was gambling.

Every New Year, people who had been busy outside for a year would return to their hometown and gather together with their good friends. They couldn't drink alcohol every day, so what could they do? It was a gamble.

There were many ways to gamble money, cards, mahjong, crickets, chicken fights and the like. To the Chinese people, everything was gambling, just like when they were bathing in the hot spring.

The gambling nature was deeply hidden in the bones of every Chinese. Some people gambled big, while others gambled small.

In fact, the rules were very simple. As long as one person was able to move his hands, he would be able to take charge, other people would place their bets, after placing their bets, the dealer would start to throw the dice, the three dice would be thrown into a bowl with the same number of points being zero, and the other dice would be rolled to the same number of points. If you couldn't get the same two dice, then you would have to throw them until the count of six, if you got the same number of points, you would also get the same amount of points.

Every family would play this game during the new year. Some had to play big, some had to play small, like setting a table on the side of the road. As long as you want to play, you can go up there and bet on it; if you win, you can earn money; if you lose, you can lose money.

Xu Taiping was probably the only person in the entire Crimson Flame Town who hadn't played this game before because he had no money.

Every New Year's Day, the government would send him some daily necessities and food, as well as some money. However, all of this money had to be used during the school years, and at that time, Xu Taiping did not dare to take this money out to gamble. If he won, it would be fine.

Now that Xu Taiping was back in town, hearing the familiar sound of the dice again, he suddenly had a feeling that he wanted to try it out.

Of course, this was just a feeling. It wouldn't be realistic for Xu Taiping to gamble with these people on the side of the road.

Xu Taiping arrived at the restaurant where Tu was cooking.

"Go in and sit down. You'll be able to eat soon!" Ah Tu said to Xu Taiping.

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded. Actually, he didn't have anything else to do with his visit, he just wanted to come over for lunch.

Not long after he sat down, Xia Jinxuan and the others also arrived at the Ah Tu household.

All of them were holding bags in their hands. The bags were filled with living creatures, and they would move their hands from time to time to take note of it.

"What did you buy?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Chicken, ducks, and rabbits!" Xia Jinxuan said with a smile.

"Why are you buying these things?" Ah Tu asked curiously.

"Buy it back and raise it. Only like this will it have the scenery of the countryside!" Xia Jinxuan said.

"Landscape?" "Haha, you city people are really weird, this chicken and duck shit is really smelly, your place is so clean, raising these things is such a waste!" Ah Tu laughed.

"We can trap them and raise them!" Emma said.

"It has a taste even if it is circled. Why don't you give it to me? I guarantee that you will be able to eat delicious chicken and duck meat along with rabbit meat in an hour!" Tu said.

"Little Bunny is so cute, why do you want to eat little Bunny!" Emma shook her head, clutching the bag in her hand.

"In the outside world, cattle are meant to be eaten. People are raised. The people of your city are the opposite of us. Animals are raised. Where are the people? They are used for slaughter." Ah Tu laughed.

"Uncle Tu's words are philosophical!" Xu Taiping raised his thumb and said.

At this moment, Little Mo came down from upstairs. Seeing Xu Taiping, little Lord Grim said, "Brother Ping Ping, you came."

"Did you just wake up?" Xu Taiping asked.

"No, I did some homework upstairs!" Little Mo shook his head.

"What about your friends?" Xu Taiping asked.

"They? I don't know. I didn't contact them. " Little Mo shook his head. From last night to now, he hadn't contacted Shu Ting and the others, he only knew that someone from the police station came to his house to retrieve their luggage.

Last night was a hard night for Shu Ting and her group because they were staying in the police station.

It wasn't that they didn't want to live here, but rather, they didn't know why, but the rooms here were all full, including the resort's villa in the scenic area, which was also filled to the brim.

In the end, they had no choice but to spend the night in the police station.

The night in Crimson Flame Town was extremely cold, and this morning there was a shower of mist. It was enough to see how cold the night was.

They found a few quilts for them and barely managed to survive the night. Early this morning, they left Crimson Flame Town in the police station's car, and it was likely that they would never come back, and naturally, they would never know that the reason why there weren't any rooms in the town last night was not because of the number of tourists, but because of someone's greetings to the people in the town.

Just like how Su Jinlong had told the people in the town that he shouldn't do business with Xu Taiping, this time, the person he greeted was also telling the people in the town not to do business with him, and last time, Xu Taiping was able to run into Ah Tu, but this time, Shu Ting and the others didn't have the same luck as Xu Taiping.

There was no need to ask who the person greeting them was.

In order to thank Xu Taiping, Tu cooked a large table full of the best dishes that could be found in the countryside.

For the people of the city, this kind of big fish and big meat was naturally very coarse food, but in the countryside, a big fish and big meat for you was the highest form of courtesy.

Ah Tu even specially took out the old wine that had been buried under the ground for who knows how many years. According to him, he planned to buy this wine for his own family when his son married his wife.

For example, Xia Jinxuan and the others, they ate the food on the table very happily. Even though they knew that there were some things that were not suitable for eating, but they didn't show it, and compared to the students of Little Mo, it was clear who was stronger.

According to Xu Taiping, in this day and age, only those who were weaker than the others would care about it. The higher the rank, the more reserved they would be. On the contrary, they would not care about some things.

The guests were all delighted with the meal. Xu Taiping had a rare drink in the middle of the afternoon, which was naturally for the sake of his heart.

After dinner, Tu called Xu Taiping into a room. Then he took out a passbook and handed it to him.

"This is our family deposit. You can take it first. As for the other items, you need to tell uncle. Uncle will pay you back in instalments." Tu said.

Holding Tu's passbook, Xu Taiping was at a loss. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
