Liang Shirong and Liang Er had been standing next to them and listening to their conversation. This sudden bet made Liang Shirong have a strange feeling: there must be something strange in this matter, so he pulled Liang Er's sleeve and whispered: "There won't be such a big frog jumping on the street, it seems that there will be fraud in this matter." You go and talk to Yao Fubo, and remind him not to fall for that person. ”

"Hmm." Liang Er also had an ominous premonition, nodded, stepped forward and pulled Liang Yaofu, and said, "Come over here." ”

Liang Yaofu followed Liang Er to squeeze out the crowd.

Liang Er 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! ”

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

Liang Er 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." ”

Referring to the things that he had been deceived by Zhu Deren before, Liang Yaofu gritted his teeth as soon as he thought of it, vowing to avenge that arrow, his face was swollen red from excitement, or the wine just now had not faded, his eyebrows were raised lightly, with a look of contempt, he 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! ”

Liang Shirong was still admonishing: "Brother Yaofu, 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. ”

Liang Yaofu was on his head, his neck showed earthworm-sized green tendons, and he was full of confidence: "I wish you a lot of people in the pit, 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. One came out of my sulk. , and secondly, it also made the deceived villagers raise their eyebrows. ”

Liang Shirong was still a little worried, and reminded him: "This time, what if he plays any tricks?" ”

Liang Er accentuated his tone: "Brother Yaofu, Brother Yarong is right, you should be careful of what tricks he will play." ”

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

After Liang Er heard this, his attitude changed: "Yes, whether it is a big pear or a longan, it is a matter of knowing at a glance." It seems that Zhu Deren is the most cunning and can't use any tricks. ”

Liang Yaofu was confident: "I want him to sign the note in public, so that he can't play tricks if he wants to." ”

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

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

Mo Wenan's father, Mo Yuming, once served as a county magistrate assistant in Xinzhou County, in charge of criminal law, and later returned to the field. Mo Wenan has read a lot of books and is a township chief. Therefore, Mo Wenan is a highly respected and cultural person in the local area, and he is often asked to arbitrate and resolve conflicts when there are any disputes in the countryside, neighborhoods, and neighborhoods.

Mo Wen'an said: "You are gathered here and making a lot of noise, why? ”

When Zhu Deren saw Mo Wen'an, as if he saw a Bodhisattva, he stepped forward and grabbed his hand and shook it: "Township Chief Mo, 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. ”

Liang Yaofu 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, Mo Wenan 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." ”

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

Mok Wenan: "What are you betting on?" ”

Zhu Deren pointed to the two baskets of sand pears in front of Liang Yaofu and said, "I bet with him, whether the sand pear is big or the longan is big." ”

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

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

Liang Yaofu pulled Mo Wen'an's sleeve and said, "We are afraid that we have no evidence, and we want to set up a note, and you came just in time, so you will be the middleman." ”

Zhu Deren's triangular eyes turned twice, but he changed his words and said to Liang Yaofu: "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. ”

Liang Yaofu 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 Mo 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, Liang Yaofu felt that there was a certain reason: "This ...... It's good. ”

Mo Wen'an: "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 Liang Yaofu's opinion: "How big do you think we should bet this time?" ”

Liang Yaofu thought about it with his head, stretched out four fingers, and shook it.

Zhu Deren: "Four Bucket Valley? ”

Liang Yaofu 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! ”

Liang Yaofu fixed his eyes and stretched out his fingers to count: "Ah, are you talking about the 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 farmer in a mountainous area! 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.

Liang Shirong saw that the situation was getting more and more serious, and repeatedly advised Liang Yaofu: "Yaofu, such a gambling method, I am afraid that there is fraud in it." I think you're better off this gamble. ”

Liang Er also felt that the stakes were too big, and said: "Brother Yaofu, Brother Yarong is right, it seems that it is better not to gamble, you just treat this incident as if it didn't happen, 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, Liang Yaofu, who was still drunk, was as hot as being burned, he wiped the sweat that kept dripping down his forehead, thought 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 agreed," Mo Wen'an 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 next to him clapped their hands.

Mo Wenan waved his raised hand down and announced, "The gambling begins!" ”

Zhu Deren: "I said that the longan is bigger than the sand pear. ”

Liang Yaofu: "I said that the sand pear is bigger than the dragon's eye. ”

"The longan is bigger than the sand pear!"

"Sand pear is bigger than a dragon's eye!"

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," Mo Wenan made a gesture and said, "You each pick out the sand pear 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. ”

"Okay!" Zhu Deren made a gesture to Liang Yaofu and said, "Yaofu, you can pick out a sand pear first." ”

Liang Yaofu bent over, opened his eyes wide, stretched out his hand to rummage in the basket, picked out a sand pear that he thought was the largest, raised it in front of Zhu Deren, and said, "Quickly pick a longan to compare with my sand pear." As he spoke, he pointed to the longan stall to his left.
