"Three." Liu Yuqing didn't even think about it.

Chen Ping smiled, and slowly uncovered the porcelain bowl held in his left hand, revealing only one stone underneath.

Liu Yuqing's eyes widened, and when he got closer, there was a stone under the porcelain bowl.

"No, I just saw you put three stones in." Liu Yuqing said strangely, "Why is there only one left now?" ”

"Seeing is not necessarily believing." Chen Ping laid the bowl flat, picked up the stones and threw them in, and then pointed to the remaining porcelain bowl, "Then now guess how many stones are in this porcelain bowl?" ”

Such a hand attracted Liu Yuqing to also have some interest.

Liu Yuqing said: "There is no one. ”

After finishing speaking, seeing Chen Ping smiling there again, there was some hair in his heart, Liu Yuqing waved his hand and changed his words: "Wait, two." ”

"Are you sure?" Chen Ping still smiled so plainly.

This made Liu Yuqing very annoyed, and his lips moved a few times, wanting to change.

"Sure, it's two." There are a total of three stones, one porcelain bowl here, and the remaining two must be in the porcelain bowl on the right.

This energy, how can it be a little familiar, just like a game, Liu Yuqing feels that this nephew's laughter is a little evil.

"Now that it's certain, let's open it." Chen Ping opened the porcelain bowl neatly this time, and the bottom of the bowl was empty, and there was not a single stone.

"How is this possible?" Liu Yuqing shouted, "There are obviously three stones. ”

"Is it possible to talk about it later, how do you think this ability will compete with Hong Quan?" The work of hiding stones is nothing more than more practice, but fortunately, although the body has been changed, this technique has not been lost, and the Hong Quan outside shouted again, Chen Ping looked at Liu Yuqing.

After all, it's only nearly twelve, and some things are not convenient to do.

"Your uncle has opened a store in the county and city?" Liu Yuqing suddenly asked.

"That's my uncle." Chen Ping replied.

"Yes." Liu Yuqing dragged out an end and walked to the door of the house, his head lowered, and he didn't know if he understood the meaning of Chen Ping's words.

Just when Chen Ping felt that he still had to show two unique skills, Liu Yuqing turned his head and beckoned to Chen Ping.

"Okay, then my uncle depends on you. Don't worry, even if I lose, the big deal is to sell the field, even if there is only half an acre left, I can become that household. Liu Yuqing said, I don't know if he was comforting Chen Ping, or comforting himself, with a serious face.

Outside the house, Hong Quan stomped his feet, the snow water entered his shoes and melted away, and if he didn't move, the cold soaked in, stabbing his feet numb. Raising his legs, the torch was low, he roasted his legs, and asked the two of them to go to a courtyard on the side to get some rice and firewood, and Hong Quan simply lit a fire in this snow.

"It's warm." Spreading out his hands and teasing on the fire, Hong Quan came to the strength again, stared at the burning firewood, turned his head and instructed the people around him, "Roast for a while, the activity will start, if Liu Yuqing still doesn't open the door to pay the money, throw this firewood into his yard." ”

"It's dry in winter, and it's really going to happen, and the village is finished. Isn't it too much? "One person hesitated, it is not a trivial matter for a village to burn up, it will definitely alarm the county lieutenant and others, in case there is another death, but it is a big deal.

Agreeing to Hong Quan coming over, it was also for the hundred money, if it passed, it would not be worth it.

At this mention, the others nodded in agreement.

"Give each person more money." Hong Quan glared at the man who spoke before, and glanced at the pair of shoes on his feet, "Two hundred yuan, enough for you to buy two pairs of cloth shoes, isn't it better than your broken straw shoes?" ”

Two hundred dollars, this is not a decimal number, with Hong Quan, except for a few who are really the same, most of them are temporary people, and they have no serious livelihood.

"Don't worry, if something really happens, I'll just take it on my head, throw firewood and run, there is snow here, at most, let his house burn for a while, can he Liu Yuqing recognize you all?" Hong Quan took advantage of this momentum and persuaded again.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. But for that money, you have to give us Baiwen first. "Two hundred texts, two pairs of shoes, can make people take risks, regardless of the imperial decree.

If you are willing to do it, Hong Quan took out a piece of silver cake and threw it in the snow, "This is two taels of silver, you take it first, and when the matter is over, I will give you the other half." ”

With wages, the work below is logical, the fire is not baked, one person picked up a firewood, there is not enough, just hold the rice harvest, and lean towards the house.

"Brother Qing, they are going to burn down the house." Zhou Yu saw a person walking towards him with burning firewood, pinched the hoe in his hand, tilted half of his head and shouted.

There is no need for Zhou Yu to remind him, Liu Yuqing has already seen it.

The door of the house is open, and it is no longer a leak.

"Hong Quan, do you have the courage to gamble again?" Liu Yuqing shouted.

"You're finally daring to come out." The crowd who was about to set fire looked at Hong Quan, Hong Quan waved his hand, since Liu Yuqing came out, this fire was not needed, "You didn't lose all the utensils, what do you bet with me?" ”

"I still have fields at home." Liu Yuqing said, but he glanced at Chen Ping beside him, and saw that Chen Ping's face was plain.

That's Tian, it's the lifeblood of his old man, Liu Yuqing doesn't know if the grandfather in the house heard this.

"Don't worry, trust me." Chen Ping suddenly turned his head and comforted him softly.

"Okay, since that's the case, then you can bring the deed of the field, don't say that I won't give you a way to get back to your roots." Hong Quan was holding a small cloth bag in his hand, and rolled it open, revealing the white fragments inside, "See?" It's all silver, fifty taels, and today as long as you can win, it's all yours. ”

Fifty taels, you can buy a house in the county, or a good location. Thirty taels here were exported by Liu Yuqing, and the remaining twenty taels were won by Hong Quan from elsewhere.

The head of the family is still Liu Banmu, and the land deed is also in Liu Banmu's hands, Liu Yuqing doesn't have the courage to look for it at this time, but if there is no land deed, Hong Quan will definitely not come.

"What? Tian Deed not in his hands? Hong Quan saw that Liu Yuqing was silent for a long time, so he guessed the reason, "That being the case, do you want to bet with me empty-handed?" I don't want to do such a loss-making business. ”

"Uncle, I have a tael of silver, so it's better for me to gamble with him." Chen Ping, who was standing on the side of Liu Yuqing, spoke at the right time, with a voice that had not yet completely changed his voice, revealing a childish spirit, and that appearance was also what a childish child should have, "This is given to me by my uncle, saying that I read well, and I was praised by the master and rewarded me." ”

The silver is real, and as for the words, the right to listen to it.

"You keep this money for yourself, I can't do it, how old are you, don't waste this silver or two." Liu Yuqing said, stopped Chen Ping, and wanted to push him into the courtyard, "This has nothing to do with you, go into the courtyard." ”

Chen Ping refused, took a few steps back, his temper was a little stubborn, and he tilted his head: "Why not?" You are my mother's brother, although I don't want to help you, but I am afraid that my mother will worry. With these strongmen in the way, how can I go home safely? ”

Liu Yuqing wanted to say something more, but Hong Quan laughed out loud and slapped his palms a few times: "Okay, that's good." If your uncle doesn't pay back, you and your mother won't be able to get out of this house. Do you really want to bet with me? ”

"Naturally, I've always been lucky, and on the way here, I picked up a hare that hit a tree and died." Chen Ping replied, waved the silver money in his hand, and said to Hong Quan, "Do you dare to bet with me?" ”

"Bet, why not." Hong Quan looked at the silver in Chen Ping's hand, the silver seemed to be on the ground, and he could pick it up as long as he bent down, "But it's cold, this bet can't be on weekdays, it has to be once or twice." ”
