"This ......" Zhu Deren's bet stunned Wu Lao Er, he touched the beard on his chin, thinking: "Why did Zhu Deren bet this with himself?" ”

Zhu Deren is a local "celebrity", and when he heard that he was going to make a bet, someone immediately gathered around the market to see what was going on.

Zhu Deren saw that Wu Lao Er was groaning, so he touched him with his elbow and made a radical method: "What's wrong?" Is it a man's husband, or a turtle with a shrunken head, do you dare to fight? ”

Huineng and Liang Diqing, father and son, had been standing next to them, listening to their conversation. This sudden bet made Huineng have a strange feeling: there must be something strange in this matter, so he pulled Liang Diqing's sleeve and whispered: "There won't be such a big frog jumping on the street, it seems that this matter will be deceitful." Go talk to Wu Bo and remind him not to fall for that man. ”

"Hmm." Liang Diqing also had an ominous premonition, nodded, stepped forward and pulled the second child, and said, "Come over here." ”

Wu Lao Er followed Liang Diqing to squeeze out of the crowd.

Liang Diqing admonished him: "How can there be such a big frog jumping on the street in the world?!" You've bet with him before that this guy is even more slippery than a loach! ”

Huineng and Liang Chibin also came to persuade: "This matter will not be so simple!" ”

Liang Diqing thought of something again, and said: "In addition to this reason, I am also afraid that Zhu Deren will not admit it after losing the bet." ”

mentioned that he had been deceived by Zhu Deren before, Wu Lao Er gritted his teeth as soon as he thought of it, vowing to avenge that arrow, his face was red from excitement, or the wine just now had not faded, his eyebrows were lightly raised, he looked contemptuous, snorted from the corner of his mouth, and said: "No matter how cunning he is this time, I am not afraid of him." In broad daylight, everyone can testify. I'm going to have to take a big gamble with him this time! ”

Huineng is still advising: "Uncle Wu, it's better to be careful." I think his demeanor is that those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming. ”

Wu Lao Er was angry, his neck showed earthworm-sized green tendons, and he was full of confidence: "I wish you a lot of people who have a lot of tricks in the, and many people around have been deceived by him." I've been fooled by him once before, and I've lost a few baskets of grain to him, and this time I'll clean him up. First, it came out of the sulkness in my heart, and secondly, it also made the deceived villagers raise their eyebrows. ”

Still a little worried, Huineng reminded him: "This time, what if he plays any tricks?" ”

Liang Diqing accentuated his tone: "Second Brother Wu, Ah Neng is right, you should be careful of what tricks he will play." ”

The corners of Wu Laoer's mouth turned up slightly, and he contemptuously: "Hmph, he wants to play tricks?" The mango is big, or the longan is big, isn't this the lice on the monk's head - obvious? He wants to play tricks, it's not so cheap! ”

After hearing this, Liang Diqing's attitude changed: "Yes, whether the mango is big or the longan is big, this is a clear thing." It seems that Zhu Deren is the most cunning and can't use any tricks. ”

Wu Lao Er was confident: "I want him to sign the document in public, so that he can't play tricks if he wants to." ”

Liang Diqing nodded: "Well, write down the document in public, he can't play tricks if he wants to play tricks in the future." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man squeezed up, he was the head of Ding Wenju Township in Huangwo Village. He also came to take advantage of the market today, and when he saw that it was so lively, he squeezed in.

Ding Wenju's father, Ding Shoushan, once served as a county magistrate assistant in Xinzhou County, in charge of criminal law, and later returned to the field. Ding Wenju has read a lot of books and is a township chief. At this time, the establishment of Xinzhou was 100 households for the li, and 5 miles for the township. Therefore, Ding Wenju is a highly respected cultural person in the local area, and he often comes to him for arbitration and resolution of conflicts if there are any disputes in the countryside, neighborhoods, and neighborhoods.

Ding Wenju said: "Why are you all around here and making a lot of noise? ”

When Zhu Deren saw Ding Wenju, he stepped forward and grabbed his hand and shook it: "Township Chief Ding, you came just in time, I was about to make a bet with Yaofu." It's better to meet by chance, and you will be an intermediary witness. ”

Wu Lao Er thought it was a good opportunity: "Yes, I want to make a bet with Zhu Deren, and you will be an intermediary witness today." Good no good? ”

As soon as he heard that the two were going to make a bet on the spot, Ding Wenju waved his hand and advised: "In the casino, gambling comes and goes, there will always be a family that will lose, and it will leave a lot of sequelae." I don't think you gamble. ”

Zhu Deren said resolutely: "We must bet this time." ”

Wu Lao Er also did not back down: "Bet on it, am I afraid that you won't succeed?!" ”

Ding Wenju: "What are you betting on?" ”

Zhu Deren pointed to the two baskets of mangoes in front of Wu Lao Er and said, "I bet with him, whether the mango is big or the longan is big." ”

Ding Wenju also felt that this matter was abrupt, and he was angry: "Is the mango big or the longan big?" It's obvious, do you still need to bet? ”

Zhu Deren: "We just want to gamble." ”

Wu Lao Er pulled the sleeve of the Latin Wenju and said: "We are afraid that there is no evidence, and we want to set up a note, and you came just in time, so we will be the middleman." ”

Zhu Deren's triangular eyes turned twice, but he changed his words and said to Wu Lao Er: "You and I are not scholars, and we can't read half of Douda's words." Besides, in this pavilion to write and set up, where did you find paper, pen, ink and inkstone for a while? It is okay to avoid this matter. ”

Wu Lao Er was unwilling: "Excuse me? Wait a while, bet that you lose and don't admit it, so what should I do?! ”

Zhu Deren: "I think it's free to write it on paper, but this gambling contract is what I told you personally, and Township Chief Ding and all the villagers testified on the spot, and whoever loses the bet can't be fooled." Isn't that okay? ”

Hearing Zhu Deren say this, Wu Lao Er felt that there was a certain amount of truth: "This ...... It's good. ”

Ding Wenju: "Since you both agree, then I can be the middleman, but I also have to make a statement first, the rules of the casino are willing to gamble and lose, and don't blame me if any of you lose." ”

The people who were listening wanted to join in the excitement and shouted: "Yes, you can't cheat if you lose or lose your bet." ”

At this time, Zhu Deren in turn asked for Wu Laoer's opinion: "How big do you think we should bet this time?" ”

Wu Lao Er thought about it with his head, stretched out four fingers, and shook it.

Zhu Deren: "Four Bucket Valley? ”

Wu Lao Er contemptuously: "No, what's the point of betting so small." Let's bet on forty buckets. Are you scared? ”

"I'm scared? I'm too little. Zhu Deren's mouth turned up, and his expression was arrogant, "I will simply do nothing with you, and I will not stop doing it." Either you don't gamble, or if you want to gamble, bet bigger. Four hundred bucket valleys! ”

Wu Lao Er fixed his eyes and stretched out his fingers to count: "Ah, are you talking about four hundred dougu?" One bucket of grain weighs twenty-five catties, and four hundred buckets of grain is 10,000 catties. Yo, you said you were betting 10,000 catties of grain? Bet so big? ”

Four hundred buckets of valley is 10,000 catties. That's an astronomical amount for a mountain farmer! This time, it was Liang Yaofu's turn to hesitate: "What about this...... Well...... this."

The people watching the excitement were taken aback when they heard such a big bet, and some of them were so shocked that they stuck their tongues out.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, Hui Neng repeatedly advised Wu Lao Er: "Uncle Wu, such a gambling method, I am afraid that there is fraud in it." I think you're better off this gamble. ”

Liang Diqing also felt that the stakes were too big, and said: "Second Brother Wu, Ah Neng is right, it seems that it is better not to gamble, you just treat this incident as if it never happened, isn't it?" ”

Zhu Deren saw that the plan was about to succeed, but was stopped by others, and said reluctantly: "Since this matter has begun, we must continue to gamble." ”

Now, it's the turn of the people watching the excitement again: "Bet on!" Bet on! ”

When the sun is in the sky, the earth is sunburned and there are bursts of heat waves, and people feel hot all over their bodies in the sun.

Under the enthusiasm of others, Wu Laoer, who was still drinking, was as hot as being burned by fire, he wiped the sweat that kept dripping down his forehead, thinking about it, and always felt that his side was definitely a sure winner, so he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay!" Four hundred bucket valleys! Just bet on this number, am I afraid you won't succeed?! ”

"Okay, you two have a good deal," Ding Wen raised his hands, pressed down, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Now I solemnly announce to you that their bet this time is four hundred dougu, and they are willing to lose the bet!" ”

The people on the side clapped their hands.

Ding Wenju waved his raised hand down and announced, "Gambling begins!" ”

Zhu Deren: "I said that longans are bigger than mangoes. ”

Wu Lao Er: "I said that mangoes are bigger than longans. ”

"Longan Bisha Mango!"

"Mangoes are bigger than longans!"

The two argued louder and louder, and the spit flew into each other's faces, still not giving in to each other.

"Don't argue, facts speak louder than words," Ding Wenju said, making a gesture, "You each pick out the mango and the longan, and compare them on the spot." I, and all the neighbors are here to see which one is bigger, and we will decide whether to win or lose on the spot. ”
