"The rain has stopped"

After the rain, Leizhou City is like a lotus root after cleaning, washing away the noisy and crowded streets, as well as the dust that has been wandering for a long time, making the air in the city exceptionally fresh.

A small pool of rainwater accumulated on the damp stone pavement, and the small shops that were opening on the side of the road were clearly reflected, and the water droplets that refused to fall were still lingering on the small ditches of the eaves.

Pure raindrops hit the confused puddles, followed by the shoes of pedestrians.

"Fourth Prince, you're awake, why isn't Princess Allah here?" The man in white grabbed the young man's shoulders with both hands and asked excitedly.

A man appeared in front of him, dressed in a robe like a white feather, with a green pendant around his waist, and his shoulders were soft, completely different from the previous man. Famoka thought to himself, isn't Medusa coming, how can it be a ......, the fourth prince and Allah?

"The Fourth Prince?" The young man Moka raised his eyebrows, and the man in white was frightened when he heard it, he stopped talking and looked at the young man slightly, he shouldn't have recognized the wrong person.

"Are you...... Groom. The boy said a name, and his tone was loose, because the man in front of him didn't have much information in his mind.

The groom, the retinue of the Great Khanate who escorted the prince south, the man who threw down the carriage and fled in the Great Wilderness Gorge, but the man in front of him was far from the rest except for his appearance.

"Yes, I'm a groom, prince, what's wrong with you." The man in white said with an embarrassed smile on his face.

A gust of wind blows......

"The Fourth Prince! Me? Do you want to say that I am a lost prince of a certain country, and now I have come to take me home to inherit the royal family. The young Moka smiled and looked at the man seriously, this kind of trick he and his room mate often used to deceive the candy of the little fart in Leizhou City, just the so-called liar meets the liar, to see who is skilled.

"Four Princes!" The man in white said slightly, wanting to say the question behind, he didn't know what was wrong with the master, it seemed like a different person, more like another person wearing a young man's skin.

"Allah... Who is it?"

The man's eyes widened when he heard this, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears, if he heard correctly, this was not the fourth prince of the Great Khanate.

"The fourth prince of the Great Khanate, my Feng Clan princess Allah has long been buried in the sand on the wasteland." The man smiled wickedly as he thought about it.

"If you're trying to rip me out of my money, I'm sorry, I don't have any money." Young Moka raised the heavy hand on his shoulders and clasped his hands into fists in salute.

The man let out a snort in his throat and raised his hand to signal to stay. Moka paused, looked around and kept an eye out for the man in white.

"Childe, dare to ask the daimyo." The man asked in a different tone, strict and cautious, what if he recognized the wrong person.

Did you get home, the four princes and the four princes called me for a while, and asked my name for a while, and I still didn't give up.

"My name is ......"

"Wait, this is a circle, if I report my name, then it will be easier to start next time, then if I don't report, he will definitely not give up, I have to report a person who is afraid of slander, who will it be." Teenage Moka had a sudden thought.

The most common thing in Leizhou City is that the teenager Moka and a few room mates tell stories to the group of children with syrup, one will be born and two will be cooked, and the first time the story is told, you have to write down the names of a few silly children, and the next time you can call it a brother. Big dog, second dog, water girl, come here, cheat syrup.

"I am the eldest son of the Minister of National Assistance, Chen Dandan." The young Moka raised his head, imitating Chen Dandan's momentum of straying his disciples.

"Chen Dandan? It's just that I recognized the wrong person. The man pinched his thorny chin and looked like a scavenger.

"Hey, I seem to have met Mr. somewhere, but you don't impress me, so I'm not sure if I know you." Young Moka took a deep breath, paused, moved his smart eyes upward, and said.

"Sir, do you know why I'm here?"

"On that day I saw that you being sinned in the shower, and that you were very similar to those whom I knew, and I could not bear to bring you out." The man immediately came to his senses.

"Rain ......? That's right, Lao Wang, they ....... Moka's eyes widened in deep thought, like a bird in the woods. Sir, if there is nothing to do, the juniors will retire first, and next time I will see you again, I will thank you. ”

Young Moka vanished in vain, and there were still lingering sounds in the direction he had left, slender and long, as if Moka had deliberately spoken to him, but he didn't want him to hear it. The man was talking to himself. "Chen Dandan...... interesting...".

……。

At dusk, the spring pavilion of Leizhou City.

Chuntinglou, the place where the barbarians of Leizhou City eat meat and drink wine, operate in good faith, and rely on buying big meat and spirits to feel good, and many repeat customers are born. Atimoka and his party often ran here because of the heroic character of the proprietress and they bought the name of Lao Wang and feasted and drank.

The people in the pavilion came and went, and the girls dressed gracefully and gracefully threw their eyebrows at the visitors, using the usual language. The lattice ladder that goes upstairs is built in the middle, lifted to the sky dome, respectively to both sides of the step, the spring pavilion is too big, there are many people who come at night, some people are looking for fun, some are looking for food, some are gathering together. The people who just entered heard the most were "in front of the guest officer", "Oh, the son is here", and "I want to die in the slave family". This belongs to the most popular restaurant in Leizhou City, and many sons of the family gather every day to give it money.

On either side of the ladder stood a number of female plaques, dressed in monochrome silk, holding small thin fans with various scenes painted on them, and swaying slightly. The snickering on Rouge's face is heartwarming, and a man wants to step forward and tease.

The noble sons smiled and grinned.

Next to an inconspicuous passage area on the second floor of the Spring Pavilion Building, the main lamp on the side reflects the table completely red. The thin man poured a small porcelain cup of sake, raised his head and drank it down, the glass struck the table, and he reached for the ginger sliced that he mistook for bacon, and stuffed it in his mouth.

The tall man opposite the thin man was none other than the old king of the city, his eyes narrowed into a line, but he grinned widely.

The tall man stopped him and said, "That's bacon, I don't want to cure alcohol, come and eat a piece of ginger." He grabbed a piece of fatty bacon and handed it to the thin man.

The man in the pole position seemed to be waiting for someone. He knew that if nothing else, Moka would be here, and today was the day of their appointment. The man spoke suddenly.

"Lao Wang, don't fool him".

"Master, he's still awake." The tall man haha, a little drunk on his face.

"Come on, come on, Zhugo, how many are these." Lao Wang held up two fingers and dangled in front of the slightly drunk man.

"Old... Lao Wang, why do you have so many claws? Zhu Ge smiled, and three shadows sprouted into the big hand in front of him.

"What's wrong with him?" Next to the slightly drunk man stood a man in black, as if he appeared out of thin air. Jugo heard the voice coming from beside him, and Ge shook his head, and Moka's cold figure appeared in his eyes that were about to close. Miyata, who was next to the railing, became agitated and almost knocked over the porcelain cup.

"Moka! Where have you gone, we have to discuss a big matter. Miyata smiled, Moka felt that he had come at the wrong time, and the palace boss must be fine.

Moka sat down and weighed the sake in front of him, took a sip, and said, "Good sake," and his face immediately became serious, and he whispered to Miyata. "But do we have any money left?"

"That's what I'm going to discuss with you, do you have any money with you?" Miyata grinned.

Moka searched the placket, waist pocket, sleeve, and everywhere he could put money. Miyata's face was full of anticipation, and Atimoka finally lived up to expectations, took out five copper krypton and put them on the table.

"Five!"

"That's all I have to offer, the last bit of the month." Come to think of it, they probably don't even have one.

"Not enough to settle the bill" Miyata rubbed his mole, tilted his head, and scratched his head and feet for a while.

"The boss is not angry, blame the younger brother. Gong Boss and Moka's only idea is to escape the account, anyway, there are only five dollars, which is a big deal. Moka is close to the windowsill, and the two floors are not high, so he can't fall to his death. Miyata is not sure, his red and bald face, his two guardians, in Leizhou City, are worth more than gold.

In this world, friendship is more valuable than money, Moka chose to run away together, and faintly saw Lao Wang's happy smiling face, and knew that he couldn't leave them.

"Ten, eleven, no, nine, only nine copper krypton." Zhu Ge's words led Miyata and Moka's thoughts, causing them to wake up.

Lao Wang pressed Zhu Ge down on the wine table, and said angrily, "These are ten." ”

"Money begets money" came out of the mouths of two different people at the same time and the same sentence.

"The last five dollars, you decide."

"Betting, don't say no, you have to say luck, if you are angry, you will be happy, and if you are not angry, this is wondering." Miyata reluctantly played with five copper coins, and his mind was already confused.

"We have to find an expert in nine out of ten bets," Miyata added.

"Bet, I'm the best at it, ten bets and nine losses, phew, ten bets and ten stable, I'll come" Lao Wang said with bacon in his mouth, and then took a sip of wine, his eyes narrowed into a line were about to close.

The two were silent. Lao Wang smiled vaguely, he didn't know that he was affectionate but ruthless, because the laughter of the master and Moka was too cumbersome to capture the slightest bit of information.

"That's it." Miyata lifted his thick shoulders, grabbed the five copper coins and stuffed them into the placket of his clothes, thought for a moment, and said, "I think I can drink a little more, and then I will go when he sees five as five hundred." ”

……

"Shopkeeper, they're gone again, only this one is left!" In the room, the shopkeeper reported to the contact woman and handed over a stack of yellow paper, the best job in the restaurant except for serving food is Xiao Er. The shopkeeper, called the second shopkeeper, is the second in the restaurant, and is only above the crowd, and he is the assistant of the proprietress, but he feels that it is worth it to be able to see the capital. Xiao Er lowered his head, staring at the pair of long white legs that twisted on the bed, and the seductive color seeped from the neck skin on the placket, and he swallowed the foam.

The shopkeeper has the desire of a man, but he can't use it on her, to be precise, he doesn't dare.

The proprietress pulled the white skirt to cover the place where the shopkeeper was staring, leisurely took the paper in the shopkeeper's second-hand, and slowly opened the paper with her slender little finger.

"Xiao Er, you can get busy first!" The proprietress looked at the handwriting and told Xiao Er to go out, who else could write such an ugly handwriting except Lao Wang, this is probably written in advance, not like he just left.

…… The proprietress of the restaurant smiled charmingly, habitually took out herbs from under the pillow, and wrote down an account for Lao Wang.

……

On the one hand, the Emperor Chu of the Southern Barbarian Monarch received a report from the sideline, and the Nanhai Hu people frequently appeared in the border fortress, as if they were about to attack, and in a fit of anger, they smashed the dinner and invited the proton into Beijing. On the one hand, the teenager Moka, Mitsuda and Goko appear in the noisy gambling house.

Chu Zixuan, the supervisor of the South China Sea Uterine Field, is the half-brother of the Chu Emperor who was born in the palace hall at the same time.

"Proton is now going to 'Qian Shengqian', and there are two protectors in the line, college nerds, and there is no impermanence." The man knelt on one knee and reported one by one in a loud voice.

"Gambling house! Interesting, who is the college nerd? ”

"The lord of the city is a relict disciple, a disciple personally accepted by the dean of Shangcheng Academy, from the Great Khanate of the Desolate Khanate."

"The Great Khanate! Wolf cubs of the north. Chu Zixuan sighed and said. Go, bring the proton to the main hall. ”

In the main hall, Chu Zixuan closed his eyes and waved his hand to whisper to him down.

……

Qian Shengqian gambling house, the dark plaque shows the purpose of the business of this small restaurant, and there are two sturdy men standing outside the gate, with fierce eyes in their eyes, and people passing by think they are sentry robbers.

The gambling hall was noisy with the sound of gamblers' desire to win, and a small table could block more than a dozen people, surrounding a shaker to listen to orders. One, two, three, small, four, five, six, the clearest thing to hear is the sentence of buying and leaving. The money has been pushed, there is no retreat to speak of, and after each roll, the winner shouts, and the loser shouts.

The loser regrets it with a miserable face, because there are only two factors of choice, like two porcelain bowls to guess the ball, one porcelain bowl has a ball, and the other is not, so let the participants choose the one with the ball. When you choose the wrong one, you always ask yourself, why not choose another one, almost a little bit. But if you choose one of the four answers, the outcome is completely different, and it depends on hearing and eyesight.

Boss Miyata and his four younger brothers gathered together, maybe the wind blew on the way here, and Zhu Ge and Lao Wang were much more sober. But knowing that Lao Wang, who came to the gambling house, didn't react much, Zhu Ge was a little distressed that five copper coins were enough to buy five catties of pancakes.

Lao Wang took off his top, put his clothes aside, and his burly figure walked away. Moka turned his head and whispered to Miyata, "What if you lose it all." ”

Miyata lowered his face, took out a pure kitchen knife from behind his waist, and slapped it on the table. The sound caused the surrounding eyes to look at each other in unison.

Zhu Ge rubbed excitedly, snatched the kitchen knife, saw that the blade was pure, the flaws and depressions were obvious, he thought that we were all poor and couldn't use the kitchen knife, and bet that it was not the fish meat that was sent to the knife, the knife was not sharp but the fish was stupid, and the guard Lao Wang saw that it was unreliable, and left the door of the gambling house in a sullen manner. The temptation of five catties of pancakes made Zhu Ge find a large piece of sand and squatted outside the door to grind hard.

Lao Wang dared to go out empty-handed, even if it was a pure kitchen knife, he had to slash Lao Wang.

The dice jar flew up in front of the gambler, shaking quickly in the air, and the dice unloaded and tumbled in the Gu machine, making a rustling sound.

"Buy and leave." The warlock who shook the dice buckled the bottom of the dice on the gambling case and shouted without a single expression. As if all the gamblers in front of him are fish in his net, he will let you taste a little sweetness, then press up, and then .......

"I'm all in it... Big. Lao Wang said with a lewd smile, slowly pushing the five copper plates towards the area where he had always bought a large number.

Everyone sighed.

There is a short man standing on the right side of Lao Wang, the eight-character beard seems to be a sticker under the bridge of the nose, he rubbed his beard tail and said: "At first glance, he is a poor ghost, five rotten copper also learn to play dice, if he can buy and win, I will give you the title of Leizhou gambling king." ”

Leizhou gambling king, also the king, I think the reputation of Leizhou Lao Wang is not worse than yours.

Adimoka secretly took off the short man's hat, which was very strange, because the hat was worn by people of status, "the hat is good, but the color does not match ......".

"Give me back the hat, it was given to me by Madame." The short man was excited, jumping in front of Moka, and jumping wildly at Moka's raised hat, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it. "Give me back, give me back"

Moka's unintentional move, grinning on his face.

The short man simply didn't rob it, and lost the name of the gambling king, he snapped his fingers, and several people were confused, and then several tall men among the gamblers took off their civilian clothes, revealing the family clothes that were the same color as the short man, and the short stick in his hand hit the palm of his hand, making a snapping sound.

Lao Wang stood up violently, a head taller than everyone else, and looked at the short nurse with a fierce face, and the arrogant few people were inexplicably stunned for a moment.

He took it from Moka's hand and put it on the short man's head in front of the crowd. In the eyes of Hu Ren, the green cloth means betraying the letter, and he was a little disgusted and said, "Wear it." ”

Many gamblers ignored a few of them, and some of them said crookedly, aren't those few the poison of Leizhou City, the old prostitute announced a few days ago, and some people who have seen it will also say, yes, yes, yes, that's them.

Zhu Ge squatted in the doorway sharpening his knife, muttering a few words from time to time. "Third child, because of you, we are going to eat sand this month." After speaking, he spat on the knife, "Because of you, the five catties of pancakes are gone."

There was chaos in the gambling hall for a while, from the sound of messy sounds at first to the sound of smashing over the table, and shouting to seize his gambling house guards.

Just after opening the Gu, three ones, Miyata's pupils dilated, and he also felt that five catties of pancakes flew away from his eyes. Moka stared at Wang fiercely to see if he would take off his pants and gamble again. Lao Wang was not in a mess at all, and the look on his face had already told everyone that he had lost.

The servant in charge of the cashier and the silver split, holding a wooden staff, was about to return the five copper coins on the table, and the old king smiled lewdly, wanting to give him the urge to kick him.

A piece of linen cloth covered the silver on the case, and Lao Wang did not play his cards according to the routine, but ran away with the silver and clothes, and Miyata and Moka stayed where they were. The crowd scrubbed over to them until the dice-waging technician said something to catch them.

Moka snatched the servant's wooden staff and held the guards who stepped forward, and accidentally let his companion squeeze forward the gambler and knocked Moka down with a stick. Miyata responded and scolded Lao Wang, the king of the eight lambs, and unconsciously grabbed the scattered silver on the case with his left hand and stuffed it into the placket.

Each gambler gave up the silver on the case because the gambler said, "Catch it, there is a reward", and the reward is very heavy. A group of gamblers eyed the two of them, forcing them to the side of the gambling case, wanting to hide in front of them, like the vicious wolves in the steppes of the Great Khanate staring at the two little lambs.

Miyata kicked over the table, lifted the stool and smashed it, and the person who was hit covered his head and lay on the ground, so frightened that he made a way out of the way.

Unconsciously, there were only two chair legs left in Miyata's hands, and when he glanced at it, everyone's momentum instantly improved a little. When the first two gamblers came to their senses, they were smashed head-on by two broken lacquered wood, right in the head.

Miyata looked left and right, like a trapped beast looking for an exit, but unexpectedly grabbed the silver and threw it, some people were dodging, and some people were picking it up.

When Moka saw him roll up on the case and throw the silver on the ground, he followed him with the silver that had been sprinkled on the case. There is money on the ground, and gamblers probably won't care about the sky falling and groping on the ground.

"Why can't you get along with the silver!" Moka glanced at the silver in his hand and tucked it into the placket thoughtfully.

Moka had his back to Miyata, holding a stick in his hand, how could they dare to step forward, in the eyes of the beaten, the boy was strong, and a stick could break the bones.

"Moka, what now!"

"Run..." Moka gasped for breath, a cold sweat on his childish brow.

Miyata took advantage of the moment they were stunned, and ran out of the table in a gray manner.

Outside the door, Zhu Ge looked back in shock, Lao Wang fled into the distance, and then Miyata also slipped out. After Moka escaped, he was followed by a group of big men who seemed to see gold that could run, Zhu Ge tightened his shocked expression, and the kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground, saying, "What are you doing?" It didn't feel right. ”。

Look at the formation, it should be smashing the field.

Zhu Ge didn't even bother to pick up the kitchen knife, and if he didn't leave, it would become their stepping stone.

…… Leizhou City under the bright moon, dark shadows hidden under the glow, the old man beating the gong, roaming the street alone, he felt a figure flashing behind him, quickly turned around, glanced at the panic and said, "No one?" ”。

"I'm a handful of years old, and I'm still afraid of monsters!" Beat the watchman and muster the courage to knock it.

Another dark shadow flashed behind him.

The watchman turned around sharply, it was not a monster or the black and white impermanence around the Lord of Yama, usually, the old man would always feel that there were two pairs of invisible eyes staring at him behind him, which was the black and white impermanence of the soul.

"Who... Who's where? ”

At the corner of the strange street porch, there was a sound of shreddling, and at night, it is reasonable to say that few people travel, this sound is like a man in a big black robe stepping on the night wind walking under the night, making the hair of the beater stand on end.

At the moment of turning around, the old man was already unconscious, but his hands were weak, his eyes were blank, and the gong fell to the ground.
