CHAPTER XXXIV
Gambler
Hello everyone, today's story was told to me by my grandmother when she was still alive.
When my grandmother was young, she grew up in Tunli, and at that time, unlike now, there was no Internet, no TV, and no computer. If you catch up with the New Year's Festival, there may be a drama troupe to perform a big play, singing a two-person turn or something, and the usual nightlife is basically the family chattering, a little spare money to play money or something. The Northeast said that playing money is the meaning of gambling, originally occasionally playing is a harmless thing, the so-called small gambling pleasure, big gambling hurts the body, but once overindulged in gambling will cause serious consequences, the light net worth is scattered, the heavy wife is separated, and even more will go to gamble!
The protagonist of this story is addicted to gambling and almost dies... It's all lost...
The Wang family lived behind my grandmother's house, and the Wang family used to be a small landlord family with a little money in the tunzi. But in Wang San's generation, he didn't study well, he was addicted to playing money, thanks to Wang San's parents when they were still alive, he told him about his relatives, so he married his daughter-in-law, otherwise according to Wang San's character of playing money to sell houses and land, there would not be any family who would marry his daughter to him without opening their eyes. Originally, when the old man was still there, although Wang San loved to play with money, there were some people who controlled him. When the old man goes west, basically no one can control him. The two elder brothers divided their family with him early, and gave him a room, twelve acres of land, and a number of poultry and livestock, thinking that as long as they could live a good life, these things would definitely be enough. But Wang San's dead nature has not changed, he is still a bad gambler, and he is already a well-known gambler in the village. Just because of him, his daughter-in-law often fights with him, my grandmother calls his daughter-in-law Aunt Cui, Aunt Cui was a well-known master when she was a girl, and she is a good hand at home and abroad, and the girl I am talking about here is the name of the girl when she says in the Northeast when the girl is not married. Wang San always did not change his stubbornness and lost most of the only family background, just because this was Aunt Cui who fought with Wang San a lot. But what should I say, although Wang San gambles badly and gambles to his death, he is afraid of his wife, probably because he is afraid of his wife, and his family has not been completely defeated.
On this day, because Wang San played cards with the people in the village, he lost his two cows, and Wang San, who lost the money, did not dare to go home and ran to his friend in the next village to drink, and drank until midnight, and the friend's family also had a wife and children, so it was not convenient to stay with Wang San for the night. There was no way, Wang San went home with a smell of alcohol. At that time, unlike now, when the lights were always bright, after dark, except for a lantern, you could only rely on the moonlight in the sky to illuminate. If it's a cloudy day, it's basically going to be dark. The moon was quite big and round that day, and Wang San took advantage of the moonlight to burp while staggering in the direction of returning to the village. One point and one day while muttering: What's the deal... I.. Spend the money I left behind... Wait for me to win... Win big... See... Look at what any of you dare to say!
Wang San was babbling as he walked, and he didn't know how long he had been walking. I saw a few lights not far ahead, and when I got closer, I saw a few small houses, and I could faintly hear shouting inside. As soon as Wang San walked in, he saw a house with an open door, and several people were throwing cards around a table. Wang San walked into the house with the strength of the wine, regardless of whether he knew him or not, and when he entered the house, he looked at it, obediently! This is incredible, the gambling on the table is all real gold and silver, and the whole little yellow croaker is rolled up and rolled up in the old man's head! Wang San was very energetic when he saw this scene!
Wang San said: A few brothers, count me in?
A person sitting opposite Wang San said, "What kind of bet are you making?"
Wang San said: I still have some money here, otherwise you see how good I am, I will bet with you!
At this time, the others put down the cards in their hands and looked at Huang San coldly, and Huang San trembled for a while.
At this time, the man spoke again: If you lose, you will lose your life.......
At this time, Huang San could still manage this.
Wang San said: Okay! Lose. Losing and losing your life! Saying that, Wang San slapped the only few dollars on his body on the table.
When the others heard him say this, they collectively let out a collective "Suo... Suo..."'s strange laughter, without saying a word, he also dealt a card to Wang San. Wang San got the cards and came to God, and he played with them attentively. Wang San's luck tonight is particularly good, come up and win a few handfuls, Wang San looked at the golden swaying little yellow croaker, the silver old man's head in front of him, not to mention how beautiful, I don't know how long he played, Wang San's luck seems to be suddenly gone, in addition to the few pieces of old man's head on the body, there are two small yellow croakers that have just been won back, and the money in his hand is just won back and a little bit gone, Wang San's head is sweaty, and the hand that draws the cards is a little trembling. Just when this new one was about to bet, the person who spoke at the beginning spoke: Brother, you don't have enough money...... You... Still playing?
At this time, Wang San didn't care about anything else and was bent on winning back the money he had just won.
Wang San said: Play! It's a big deal to give you my life!
The man on the other side let out a sigh and then continued to play without saying anything. At this time, a gust of cold wind blew through the back of Wang San's neck, and Wang San shivered for a while, and the wine on that body was also blown out a lot. Wan San only noticed at this time that there was nothing else in this room except for this table, and the people who played cards with him were not sitting on a stool like him, but squatting on top of it! Looking at their faces again, there was an indescribable strangeness, they looked so pale in the faint light, and they were a little blue when they were white! There was a faint green light in their eyes! The way they played cards was not like people with their arms on the table and playing cards with one hand and one hand, but more like... More like animals! With their arms between their faces and their hands holding cards between them, they only move their hands and their arms when they play cards! The most important thing is that while they are playing cards, they are constantly looking at Wang San with their shining green eyes! Wang San has basically sobered up at this time, and cold sweat is constantly rising, thinking, are they human? Wang San was trembling and trembling while constantly peeking at those people. Just when Wang San lost the last dollar on his body, the person opposite opened his mouth and said: Brother, you have no money, you will lose your life if you come again......
Where did Wang San dare to play at this time, and said with a trembling and crying voice: I... I... I'm not playing anymore, I've got to go home!
The person on the other side said: If you lose, you have to lose your life.......
Several people at the same time issued a "Suo... Suo...", all of them turned their heads to look at Wang San, revealing a mouthful of fangs and eyes shining green! Wang San was already having goosebumps at this time, and a chill passed from the soles of his feet to the top of his brain! Wang San was trembling and lost the cards in his hand and was about to run, but as soon as he turned around, his foot was tripped by something, and he slammed on the wall, and his eyes were black and fainted, and before Wang San fainted, he faintly heard "If you lose, you have to lose your life.......
When the people in the village found Wan San, it was already noon the next day, and everyone found Wang San who had fainted in front of Wang San's father's grave, and when they saw it, Wan San was lying in front of his father's tomb, and Wang San's money was neatly placed aside, and there were several piles of paper ashes next to the money. After everyone carried Wang San home, Wang San had a serious illness, and it took a long time to get better, and thanks to Aunt Cui's care, Wang San did not leave any root cause. It's strange that after Wang San recovered from his illness, he stopped gambling like a different person, and started his work seriously, even if someone asked him to gamble again, he didn't go and gradually his life got better, and Aunt Cui never fought with him again.
Later, my grandmother told me that Aunt Cui told my grandmother that on the night of the accident, her husband told him a dream that he would teach him a good lesson as a gambler son, and sued
