After Han Yan recovered a bit of his spirit energy, he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Forget about this rock, even if it was ten times bigger than this rock, and hundred times bigger, he could still lift it easily. Therefore, Han Yan was not afraid of betting, and said: "Speak! "How do we play this game?"
Liu Yue saw Han Yan's confident look, and in his heart, more or less, was unconvinced, and said: "If the two of us were to make a bet in private, there's really no meaning. How about this, and let everyone participate? " Speaking to here, he just so happened to see a group of people walk over. Without's consent, Liu Yue waved his hand and shouted: "Brother Zhang He, you guys come over here for a while. I have something to discuss with you guys."
Zhang He was the person who had hosted the bonfire banquet for Han Yan two days ago. He walked in front of the two of them in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu Yue, is there something you need?"
Liu Yue recounted what had happened and then said: "Our bet is very simple. If I win, from today onwards, Han Yan will have to work for me for two hours every single day." After saying that, she looked at Han Yan and smiled: "Elder Brother Han, do you have any objections?"
This gamble would not be lost at all, so Han Yan naturally had no objections and said: "I can accept." He changed the subject and continued, "However, you only said that I've lost. You didn't say what happens if you lose."
A person beside Zhang He also laughed at this time: "That's right! Brother Liu Yue, what happens if you lose instead of talking?
Liu Yue smiled indifferently, pointed at himself and said: "What a joke, will I lose?" After saying that, she pointed to a large rock not far away. "Do you all believe that he can lift such a large rock?"
Everyone shook their heads. They understood that with such a big stone, not to mention Han Yan alone, even if three Han Yan were to move the stone together, it might not necessarily be able to do so.
Seeing the disbelieving look on everyone's faces, Han Yan smiled slightly, and said: "Whether I will lose or not, is my business. "Since we're betting, we should abide by the rules of gambling, right?"
Zhang He nodded his head, and agreed: "Elder Brother Han is right, if a miracle were to happen, he would win, and there would be no way to continue this bet."
Liu Yue coldly snorted, and said: "These days, how could there be so many miracles. I would rather believe that the dead pig could come back to life, than believe that he could lift a huge rock."
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but laugh. They felt that this analogy was too inappropriate.
After a burst of laughter, almost all the passersby surrounded them. As time passed, more and more people gathered around them. In just the time it took to make a cup of tea, over a thousand people stood by their sides. Amongst them, many had no idea what was going on, and only after asking did they find out that Han Yan and Liu Yue were making a bet. Thus, everyone stopped to watch. They also wanted to see if Han Yan really had the ability to boast.
At this time, Zhang He gave a light cough and said: "Brother Liu Yue, what you said is not right. For example, for Uncle Zhang's legs, if it wasn't a miracle, could they have recovered overnight? " As he spoke, in order to prove that what he said was correct, he waved his arm and said in a clear voice, "Brothers, don't you agree …"
"Right …" Everyone said in unison. Their voices were so loud that everyone in the valley could hear them clearly.
Liu Yue did not want to say what he would do after losing, but under the pressure of the crowd, he said: "Fine! Let's assume that a miracle might happen to him. If Han Yan can really lift this rock, I can just admit defeat and apologize in front of everyone, what do you think? "
As soon as these words were spoken, many people became dissatisfied and began to speak at the same time.
"Brother Liu Yue, your words are a little bullying. If Elder Brother Han loses, I will help you with your work. If you lose, it's just an apology. It's not fair at all. "
"That's right!" This is unfair. If it were me, I wouldn't even have made this bet, and there's not much meaning in winning or losing at all. "
"Brother Liu Yue, you should take something more practical as well. This way, everyone will find it interesting."
"…"
Liu Yue was a girl after all. Her charming face reddened as she said: "What exactly do you want? Don't tell me you want me to raise the stakes?"
Seeing that Liu Yue was angry, Zhang He immediately stood out and waved to everyone, signalling them to stop. When everyone stopped talking, Zhang He coughed and said: "Liu Yue, brothers, what you said is reasonable, this gambling is truly meaningless." He paused and suddenly asked, "Do you think you will lose?"
Liu Yue was very confident in his own self-confidence. Without even thinking about it, he asked, "Do you think I will lose?"
Zhang He did not answer her, and laughed: "Since you have confidence in yourself, how about this, let's raise the stakes a bit, how about it?"
"Increase in strength?" Liu Yue frowned, puzzled, and asked: "How much more do you want?"
Zhang He's mouth revealed a strange smile, and said: "Don't ask how old I am, I'm asking you if you dare to bet?"
Liu Yue's character was originally the type of person who was fearless against everything. He said disapprovingly, "What a joke, why would I be afraid? Ever since I was born, I have never known how to write the word fear. Since everyone is so happy, I shall follow you to the end. " As he spoke, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking extremely confident.
Zhang He looked at Han Yan and his brows twitched, as if asking: "Brother, do you have any objections?"
Han Yan's response was even more straightforward. He spread out his hands as if he could do anything.
Zhang He had, after all, frequently acted as the host, so it was natural that he had his own way of doing things. He said in a deep voice, "Since both sides have no objections, I shall announce the rules of the bet." As he spoke, he pointed to a large boulder in front of him and said, "The rules are simple. As long as Elder Brother Han can lift this rock up, we can consider it a victory. Otherwise, we will lose."
"If Han Yan loses, then no matter what, you have to work for Liu Yue for two hours from now on. If you win, then …" Speaking till here, Zhang He deliberately paused, then said solemnly, "Liu Yue is going to marry Han Yan, and become her immortal companion, what do you think?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Soon after, someone jeered: "Alright, I feel that this suggestion isn't bad."
"Not only is it not bad, I think it's a perfect idea."
"Ever since it was built, no one seems to have gotten married! Now that everyone is living quite well, I think it's time for a grand wedding... "
"That's right!" "With the first pair of newbies, we won't have to be lonely as bachelors in the future, haha …"
"…"
For a moment, the crowd began to discuss among themselves. As the two main players in the gambling match, they were stunned.
Han Yan never thought that Zhang He would actually say such a thing.
Liu Yue was the same as well. Her face turned green and purple, raised her right hand and pointed it at Zhang He as she said furiously, "Zhang He, tell me, are you doing this on purpose?"
Zhang He's face was filled with the word 'wronged', and he laughed bitterly: "First Miss, I didn't do it on purpose! Everyone can testify to that. You just said that you wouldn't lose, so why are you afraid of making such a bet?
Liu Yue coldly snorted, and said: "How can I not have confidence? If you want to bet, then do it, who's afraid of you …"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and start!"
"That's right, let's start quickly. We still need to replenish our physical strength later on!"
"Go Elder Brother Han! Don't show mercy!"
"Elder Brother Han, we believe in your strength. Quickly lift up the boulder so that we can carry the beauty home …"
"…"
With that, it resounded beside Han Yan's ears one after another. Han Yan did not care about marrying Liu Yue as his immortal companion at all. Even if he won, he would not do that. This bet, Han Yan had to win, because if he lost, it would bring about a lot of trouble. The most important point was that he could not explain to Liu Yue why the wooden door could not be opened.
These thoughts flashed past Han Yan's mind, Han Yan took a deep breath and walked to the front of the boulder. Then, he extended his hands and placed them on the boulder.
At this moment, everyone held their breath. They also wanted to see whether or not Han Yan could perform a miracle.
Han Yan growled, both hands suddenly exerting force, and the boulder slightly moved.
When the crowd saw this scene, they all cried out in unison.
"Alright, Elder Brother Han, you can do it. You can definitely lift it."
'Believe in yourself, believe in miracles … '
"…"
At this moment, Liu Yue's heart was abnormally nervous. She tightly clenched her hands, and the center of her hands was faintly sweating.
A few young women walked to Liu Yue's side and comforted him: "Little Sister Liu Yue, don't worry, he's just asking the big rock to move a little. There's nothing extraordinary about it, we can do it as well."
"Exactly, such a big stone, forget about him, even if he was strong enough, it would still be difficult to lift …"
"Don't worry, he won't be able to move it …"
"…"
Hearing these words, Liu Yue secretly heaved a sigh of relief. But no matter what, she felt that this Young man in front of her, could possibly lift a big rock.2
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, ten breaths had passed. Han Yan still had not lifted the big rock.
Liu Yue was completely relieved, and snorted: "Elder Brother Han, if you can't move it, then let it go! Why continue? "
The surrounding men all had expressions of regret on their faces. It was truly a pity that such a good show had ended just like this.
Not only did everyone think that Han Yan could not move it, even Zhang He thought that he could not. He sighed, just as he was about to ask Han Yan to stop and announce the end of the bet. However, the next scene caused everyone to widen their eyes. Han Yan bellowed, both of his hands suddenly exerted force, and the gigantic boulder suddenly moved, following that, it left the ground.
The stone was getting higher and higher. When it was a foot off the ground, Han Yan took a wrong step and suddenly turned around. He picked up the stone and walked towards everyone. His speed was not fast. With every step he took, shallow footprints appeared on the ground. With each step he took, his forehead was covered in sweat.
Logically speaking, as long as Han Yan lifted the rock up, it should be considered as his win. Don't forget, Han Yan's main reason for betting was not to show how powerful he was, or how strong he was, but to make Liu Yue believe what he had said previously. The wooden door could not be opened, because there was a big rock blocking it.
In the blink of an eye, Han Yan walked in front of Liu Yue while carrying the stone, and then put it down.
With a bang, the stone fell to the ground and kicked up a cloud of dust.
"How is it? You should believe it now, right?" Han Yan dusted his hands, dusting off the dust on his hands.
At this moment, everyone had their mouths wide open as they looked at Han Yan with their mouths agape. Those eyes were clearly looking at a monster.
Not only that, but everyone's mind echoed with the same thought, "He, he really lifted it up?"
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that this was true. Even those people who had jeered at Han Yan previously only thought that it was possible for a miracle to happen, but when a miracle really happened in front of their eyes, many people still could not believe it. Everyone looked at each other. They could see five words in each other's eyes — How was this possible?
Liu Yue's face was deathly pale. When Han Yan's gaze fell upon her body, she tacitly took three steps back and muttered: "This is impossible, this is impossible …"
