It's impossible to bet on this kind of thing, when you're unlucky, you fall to the bottom, and when you're lucky, you can't stop anything.

Ma Dafu used to be a small gambler, and after the work of the bow Xiangbai was finished, he took ten or dozens of dollars for recreation, and left when he lost everything, and he was not greedy when he won a little, and he left when he doubled.

However, Wang Tong started, and the head of the boat had to negotiate the price with the shipwharf to be angry, and he worked hard, tired and half dead, but he only earned a day's food for the family, which may not be enough, and the mother-in-law had to do some work to make up for it.

When the incense people all felt that their own family was superior, let them go to the same as those coolies in Sili and Eight Townships, and it was the majority who were unwilling.

If you are not reconciled, you don't work, and there are all kinds of vices when you are idle at home, Ma Dafu soaked in the dice shop all day long, and at the beginning, he really won money every day and made some money.

The people who eat meat and drink wine at home are better than when they work for the bow incense, and Ma Dafu also boasted:

"When we win a few dozen taels, we will go back to Wuqing's hometown and buy some fields to enjoy the blessings."

How can there be such a good thing in this world, the next thing is to lose every day, once people fall into it, they don't want to turn back, and the more they gamble, the more they lose.

Tossing day by day, when I go home, the husband and wife fight and the children cry, Ma Dafu beats his wife and scolds the children, and the things in the seller go out to toss until today.

On the evening of September 11, it was already a little cold walking on the street, Ma Dafu wore a single shirt and red eyes, and entered the dice shop.

Today he won, luck and luck are inexplicable, tonight is really lucky, began to lose more than one or two, by means of killing all sides.

Almost every time can be pressed, the money on the table in addition to the dealer's tap, the rest of the money has been won by him alone, play to the middle of the game and want to go, how can other losers do, has been dragging on, the result is to sit down or continue to win, and when it is over, it is already midnight, all the gamblers' money has been won by him.

Calculate and calculate, not counting the gains that I had lost in the past this night, I also won nearly forty taels more.

Ma Dafu walked out of the dice shop in ecstasy, he was carrying the silver in his arms, but he was not afraid of people to snatch it, because Ma Dafu was tall and strong, and the land here was familiar, and the people who lived in it were all people with incense on the bow of the boat.

Walking on the road, the cold wind blew, Ma Dafu, who was wearing a single shirt, did not feel the cold at all, and the silver was in his arms, as if there was a fire in his arms, hot and hot, hot here, followed by the whole body was hot, the cold outside could not come in at all, and the blood on his body seemed to be boiling.

"Show this silver to that stupid woman and scare her, Lao Tzu is gambling like this, it's not for her and the child's good ......"

Seeing that the door of his home was in front of him, Ma Dafu's mood was even higher, and he didn't know why, his body seemed to be on fire, Ma Dafu only thought that he was happy, and his surname Suo ripped off his shirt and walked forward with open arms.

It's late at night, Ma Dafu is an old resident on this street, even if he walks over, other domestic dogs won't bark, and the street is very quiet.

Just about to push the door, Ma Dafu felt a thunderbolt ringing in his ears, roaring loudly, making Ma Dafu's head buzz, but the street was still quiet, and the dog didn't bark.

Thinking of the thunder, Ma Dafu only felt that his brain was getting more and more dizzy, his body was not obeying, and his eyes were getting darker and darker, and the moon was bright and bright.

The sun has not come out on September 12, Ma Dafu's mother-in-law is in a hurry to go out to find someone, his own man has been gambling recently, and there is never a night when he does not come back, what is this doing tonight.

As soon as he opened the door, he almost tripped over something in front of the door, and was about to scold, but when he looked down, he saw that his own man was lying there, Ma Dafu's mother-in-law turned people over with trembling hands, but saw Ma Dafu's mouth and nose bleeding, his body was cold and hard, and he was already dead.

Stunned for a while, Ma Dafu's mother-in-law sat on the ground, crying and howling, the people on the street are neighbors for many years, the chickens in the morning have not crowed, but people are crying there, they are all dressed and come out to see, and see a dead person at the door of Ma's house, everyone is stunned.

I can't say that someone hurriedly put on their clothes and came out and ran here to inquire, everyone is the incense of the bow incense, how much there is still a bit of affection, and there are people who are used to finding the head of the above, and the bow incense does not report to the official, and they are all disposed of by their own incense hall, which is a rule for many years.

The old man came over, looked at Ma Dafu's corpse, and then looked at the silver money in Ma Dafu's arms, and made a judgment:

"It's not because the head is hit by a strong wind, and if it doesn't slow down, the person will be finished."

Others came to persuade:

"Ma family, what's the use of crying, there are still a few children in the house, quickly take back the money on your man's body, go to the Qing Army Hall to find a servant to come over, and get things done, it's still hot at noon this day, and if you toss it again, people will stink."

Ma Dafu brought a total of more than 100 taels of silver, and some people helped him go to the Qing Military Hall to report to the official, and some people went to the Shoucai shop to invite people who did white things, and hastily built a spiritual shed in the courtyard of the Ma family, and people carried it in.

Someone died, and the Qing Army Department would normally send a servant to come over for an autopsy, and if he felt that it was not a murder or something, he would issue a document, and the person could be buried in the funeral.

After the Qing military hall came over, it was indeed affected by the strong wind, and the brain was blown up, and I don't know what a cerebral hemorrhage is in this era, all this kind of sudden thing, most of them are explained by the wind, Ma Dafu was very excited after winning money, and was so excited by the cold wind, there may be something wrong with the early years, and he was sick all of a sudden, which is also no way.

The people who do white things in the longevity shop came, and the head of the bow incense also came, and there were many incense people who were idle at home, and everyone came to help.

Ma Dafu's mother-in-law had no idea at this time, and relied on some people around her to speak, but she leaned over and whispered:

"The Ma family, Dafu is also a decent person in the bow of the boat, and he can't deal with it like this, just do it, it's better to do the scenery, Dafu also looks good below."

Although Ma Dafu's mother-in-law had no idea, she was not a fool, and when she heard this, she muttered:

"Uncle Boss, we orphans and widows have no support, and we all count on the wealth to have this little money left to live, and the scenery is white, and there are no dozens of taels of silver to do it."

The head showed a very righteous expression and said:

"Anyway, everyone burns a furnace of incense, don't worry about the silver, just listen to our arrangement when the time comes, it doesn't cost anything for white things, and if you count the gift money for white things, you can still earn seven or eight taels!"

Seven or eight taels is enough to save money for a year and a half, this rich mother-in-law is worried about her future livelihood, hearing that there is this way, her head is like a chicken pecking rice.

But I also wondered in my heart, in the past, Ma Dafu saw that this head was respectful, and he had to give gifts on the New Year's Day, and he didn't take a straight look at people, why is he so enthusiastic now, and now everyone's words are not happy, is it possible that this head is for the longevity material shop to support.

Not to mention how the mother-in-law of the Ma family thought nonsense, she turned her head out of the house, and turned around and actually took the silver of the white flowers, and more than a dozen silver ingots were on the ground, which looked like more than 100 taels.

With this cash, naturally everything is easy to say, it is up to the head to decide, more than 20 people from the longevity shop are busy, the whole yard has set up a spiritual shed, and also occupies a place on the street, and invited the drum team, monks and Taoists.

That's not all, the head didn't know the silver he got there, so he actually set up a flowing water seat on the street, and invited people with incense on the bow of the boat from all over the place to sit down.

Anyway, you don't have to spend money on your own family, and the mother-in-law of the Ma family doesn't care about it, and the flowing water seat is nothing, there are many people who come, and there are many followers, and they earn more.

The first tongue of the neighbors, but the nearly seventy tables of flowing water seats are indeed big, one street is not enough, the left nearly four streets are occupied, the team inside and outside the city to make this kind of flowing water mat has been brought over, the fat pigs have been put over a few bites, and I am afraid that this flowing water seat alone will not be able to beat a hundred taels.

All the incense people inside and outside the city were informed that there was a spare man, they all came to participate in this flowing water feast, and gave a share of only a small amount of five cents and ten cents, which has fish and meat, how good it is to eat a good meal, this time, everyone is tight on hand, but I haven't seen meat for a long time.

As a result, as soon as the banquet was opened, there was still wine, how much money did this Ma Dafu win, and after his death, he was so bad, and there were also kind-hearted people to persuade him, but there were more than a dozen tall men watching from the Lingtang, only allowed to worship, not allowed to ask, the mother-in-law of the Ma family was howling there, and several children were crying next to him.

Burned incense, bowed, gave a share, and then came out to shake off the cheeks to eat, a few sips of wine in the stomach, everyone was a little dizzy, the unknown said that the recent situation, everyone is a belly of grievances, the bow incense burns incense well, why did it suddenly fall!

There are thousands of people on the bow of the boat, and there are many people who don't know each other, and often someone throws the wine bowl on the ground while talking, and scolds.

"Dog officer, Lao Tzu used to walk on the road, even the shopkeeper of the big shop had to nod politely, and now the nostrils are raised to the sky, and there are still the rules of the past!!"

“…… A few days ago, we put our head on the barge to pick up the work, a ship from Huzhou unloaded, we asked for a ten taels of silver unloading money, when we did it in the past, how could such a southern cargo ship not ask for thirty taels, but the coolies from Jinghai over there, the opening is three taels of silver willing to do, how to do this work!! ”

“…… Unloading a ship at sea used to cost five hundred taels or one thousand taels, how can the brothers say that each person also has the advantage of a few taels of taels, but now we can't get in if we gang up......

"Wang Tong, that dog thief, must be a fake saint who is trying to do something wrong with us Tianjin Wei, let's find justice with him together!!"

I don't know who made such a noise, but the scene immediately quieted down, Wang Tong, that's a dog thief, but it's also a bad star! The opening of the Jinhe warehouse that was bombarded by the cannon is still there, and there is still blood on the stubble, if we want to find you to die, we won't follow.......
