Chapter 2: In a desperate situation

When I was shaky again, a bearded man sitting next to me suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "Noisy your mother, noisy Lao Tzu can't sleep well!" As soon as he said this, the horse-faced man who was surrounded by few people heard it.

When the man heard this, he was obviously scolding himself, so he became angry and rushed forward to the man and asked, "May I ask who this friend is scolding?" "Whoever argues scolds whom." The man did not show weakness, "Lao Tzu can earn 8,000 yuan in one business, who is Lao Tzu afraid of?" ”

When the horse-faced man heard that this was a rich man, his anger suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly changed to an imminent tone and asked, "You can make money so much, do you dare to play?" "What's not to dare? How to play? As soon as the horse-faced man saw that the fish had been hooked, he took the red and blue pencils and the ten-yuan bill in his hand and demonstrated the trick he had just demonstrated in front of everyone in front of his beard.

When the bearded man heard this, he said happily: "Okay, according to what you said, Lao Tzu only gambles, 8,000 yuan, and it's a big deal to run a business in vain." As he spoke, he casually took out a thick stack of bills from his handbag and threw it on the table in front of him.

At this time, there were more onlookers. And the horse-faced man began to roll up the money again. This time, I clearly saw that the banknote was wrapped around the blue pencil again, but the beard didn't even look at it, and actually put 8,000 yuan on the position of the red pencil, and there were words in his mouth: "Lao Tzu guessed red, and lost!" ”

At this moment, a tall man wearing sunglasses and a flat head squeezed out of the crowd. As soon as he squeezed out of the crowd, he shouted at the horse-faced man, "What's wrong? Do? "What's wrong? Gambling! Do you dare to bet with him? The horse-faced man looked at the man in sunglasses and said.

The man in sunglasses looked at the eight thousand yuan in front of his beard, and then looked at the horse-faced man, and said in a soft tone: "Bet I dare to bet with him." It's just that I have less money on me, only two thousand yuan. ”

At this time, the beard on one side began to scold his mother: "I don't have money to gamble!" Lao Tzu put away the 8,000 yuan and stopped playing with you. "Wait, friend, you can't take it back. If I don't have enough money, I'll help him make a way, no matter what you do. The horse-faced man said.

"That's good! Lao Tzu is waiting for you. After finishing speaking, he put his thigh on his second leg, and swayed one foot up and down, revealing a look of disdain.

The horse-faced man here spoke to everyone again: "Have you seen it clearly?" I have seen clearly to bet on this with this brother. At this time, someone began to discuss: "That guy (referring to the beard) is a fool, obviously seeing that the money is wrapped in the blue pencil, he prefers to guess red, it is better for us to bet on the money." ”

And so, the people around began to come up with two hundred, three hundred. Then someone came up with a thousand or two thousand, and finally the big guy finally scraped together six thousand yuan, plus two thousand yuan from the man in sunglasses, just enough to lift the treasure box.

So, the horse-faced man carefully unfolded the coinβ€”

Everyone leaned their heads towards the winding pencils and let out an "ah" in unison. It turned out that what people never expected was how the banknote that was wrapped in the blue pencil just now suddenly turned to the red pencil.

At this time, the man in sunglasses began to cry bitterly: "Damn, Lao Tzu poured blood mold today, and these two thousand yuan were left by my father before his death!" After saying that, he walked away dejectedly. And the people who are for the money are not only regretful themselves, but they still really sympathize with him.

The bearded man who had won the money went to the toilet shortly after, but once he went, he never returned. After a few more moments, the horse-faced man also got up and left.

It took a long time for people to suddenly realize that they had been fooled. But it's too late to regret it. At this time, several travelers sitting next to me and across from me said to me: "This student is an old Jianghu who knows that he didn't bet just now. "I don't have any money," I said, "and if I do, I'm afraid I'll be fooled." ”

I arrived at Wuchang Station at about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, out of the station entrance, and came to the railway station square. I stood there to see where the ticket office was. At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over. He was dressed in a leather coat, was not tall, and had a parted head.

When he saw me, he greeted me in pure Wuhan dialect: "Student, where do you want to go?" "Nanchang." I say.

"Hey, that's just right, I know a car to Nanchang, it's very cheap, do you want to go with me." I didn't want to go with him, but when I heard the word "cheap", I couldn't help but think: "The 15 yuan in my pocket to buy a train ticket to Nanchang is definitely not enough, since there is a cheap car to sit on, why not?" ”

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but follow him. He really helped me find a bus to Nanchang. I asked the owner how much the fare was, and the owner said, 35. I said I only had 15 pieces on me, no.

The owner said no, it is reasonable to say that it is ten or eight yuan less, and 15 is too little, not cost-effective. Since the bus can't get on it, I'm going to go back to the train station to have a look.

I was just about to turn back, but the middle-aged man grabbed my clothes: "Little brother, I just introduced you to the car and gave me some errand fees." "You know, I only have 15 yuan left on me, and I'll give you some errand money, what should I do myself?"

"I don't care so much about you, since I brought you here, you have to pay me for errands. Do you only say to give or not? The man said, with a fierce look on his face, and raised a hand as if he was going to hit me.

Readers should know that I am a very timid person, and I am alone in a different place, and if I don't get some money from others, I may be beaten. Being beaten is a trivial matter, and after being beaten, you still have to give it to others? Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to give him something.

So I asked, "How much do you want?" "Ten pieces." "Ten is too much. I'll give you five dollars, and I'll go home for the ten." ”

"No way!" The man said, holding out his hand, deliberately looking around with his eyes as he stretched out. I was afraid that he would gather his accomplices, so I took out ten dollars from my body and gave it to him. When the man got the money, he stopped pestering me and walked away alone. Left me melancholy and helpless.
