Lu Ming, who returned to his sister-in-law's house in the countryside from the shooting team, was full of tiredness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After more than a day's journey to the county seat, he took another two-hour bus ride. The bumps back and forth, even with his athlete's body, are a little unbearable.

The cousin rode a motorcycle, without saying a word all the way, and took Lu Ming home. Many people in the village have heard of Lu Ming. After all, he has recently appeared on CCTV news in the evening. In the eyes of the old family, it is definitely an amazing thing, and there are constantly people to say hello along the way.

The village is not big, but it does not overlap much with the impression in Lu Ming's memory. There are newly built buildings everywhere. Everything seems to vary greatly, but there is a certain familiar flavor intertwined.

"Akiko, I'm back." The village is not large, with only more than 30 households and more than 100 people. From the head of the village to my sister-in-law's house, it took less than a minute to arrive. The sister-in-law heard the sound of the motorcycle outside the door, stood at the door early, and greeted her.

Although her sister-in-law is only in her forties, the hard work of her early years has caused many wrinkles on her face, and her hair is also a little gray. Lu Ming's nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears.

"Well, sister-in-law, I'm back." Lu Ming opened his mouth and smiled, held back the sadness in his heart, and got off the motorcycle.

The sister-in-law on the side had a sad face, and after seeing Lu Ming, she smiled reluctantly. And said in his mouth, Mingzi is black, and he is gone. At the same time, the little uncle and the little cousin, who was only eight or nine years old, also walked out of the house with watermelons in their hands.

"Mingzi, eat a piece of watermelon first, it's going to be hot, it's hot." The little uncle handed the watermelon to Lu Mingdao.

"It's okay, it's not too hot, I'll wash my face first." Lu Ming put the watermelon aside, and the six- or seven-year-old cousin volunteered to sensibly press the well water. makes this slightly depressed family look a little more angry.

"I'm going to fry two dishes, Akiko, you go into the house and eat some watermelon, and take a break." My sister-in-law said.

Lu Ming hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome, just do something." ”

The sister-in-law didn't reply, and went straight into the kitchen to get busy. The little uncle beckoned Lu Ming into the house and said, "Don't get in the way, it'll be fine for a while." ”

The TV is set up in the main room and the drama is played. Uncle asked Lu Ming about the life of the national team. And Lu Ming's cousin was unusually silent, and no one mentioned gambling.

After a while, the sister-in-law made lunch and brought the food.

A large pot of potatoes and stewed hens, plus leeks, eggs, peanuts and other dishes make up a table of meals. My cousin opened the beer and handed it over. Lu Ming hurriedly shook his head, the memories of wine in his previous life had left him with too many painful memories.

"Akiko is an athlete and can't drink." The sister-in-law blamed.

"Well, I forgot." Uncle Cousin replied sullenly.

"It's okay, I'm quitting drinking. Otherwise, you can drink some. Lu Ming said busily.

"Well, it's still the smell of hen meat in our house." Lu Ming served the food with a spoon, and when he tried to open the banquet, it was a little dull, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"The old hens in the house are running around. It must be more fragrant than the captive broiler chickens sold in the city. Akiko, eat more if it's delicious. Come back this time and you stay longer. Are you much weaker now than you used to be? The sister-in-law was stretching out and wanted to help Lu Ming with rice.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I'll take it myself." Lu Mingdao. Throughout the lunch, no one talked about borrowing money. It seems that Lu Ming is really just coming back to visit his family. Until, at the end of lunch.

After the sister-in-law finished the kitchen, after glancing at Lu Ming, she opened her mouth and said, "Mingzi, how much money do you have in your hand?" Sister-in-law, I really can't leave this face to borrow money from you. But now, there's really nothing to do. ”

"Brother Xiaobin, how much does he owe?"

"Two hundred thousand."

"Alright. Sister-in-law, don't worry about all this money, I'll pay it all back. Lu Ming comforted his sister-in-law.

"Really? Akiko. ”

"Really." Lu Ming nodded, and then asked, "What did Brother Xiaobin bet on?" ”

"It's all cockfighting! In recent years, our rural income has been higher. There are a lot of cockfighting competitions. In the past, cockfighting was only available during the New Year's holidays, but now it is everywhere. It is said that it will develop into a special cockfighting festival. Those rich people don't know how much thicker their waists are than our countrymen. Your cousin was deliberately tricked into a trap and mortgaged all the family's money to fight cocks. Now, they have all lost everything and owe a lot of debt. With tears in her eyes, the sister-in-law looked at her son on the side and said hatefully.

"Cockfighting?" Lu Ming was a little surprised, he didn't expect the temple fair event in his childhood memory. Now, it's turned into a gamble.

"We are in the countryside, and the local gambling on cockfighting is now turning a blind eye. Your cousin was coaxed into gambling in the black cockfighting ring. The sister-in-law spoke.

In the last Beijing event, Lu Ming won hundreds of thousands of bonuses. For him, it is not difficult to pay off his gambling debts. It's just that my sister-in-law's words made my mood a little heavy. He was almost certain that his cousin had been deceived by someone who had jumped into the Great Immortal.

"Boom.."

There was a roar, coming from far away. From a distance, Lu Ming saw several men in their twenties who looked like hooligans, riding motorcycles.

"You're from this family too?" A man who looked like a leader looked at Lu Ming and asked with an unkind expression.

Lu Ming's figure of more than 1.8 meters, coupled with the muscles that athletes have trained for many years. At first glance, it is extremely oppressive and deterrent.

"Come to your boss, I'll pay off my debts." Lu Ming did not answer, but said indifferently.

"Paying off debts? You kid, if you want to lie to me, you have your good fruit to eat. The young man in the lead squinted at Lu Ming, and he couldn't believe his ears. With disdainful eyes, he looked at Lu Ming's cousin and sister-in-law on the side. Finally, he turned around and dialed the phone.

"Did you bring the money?"

After about a few minutes, the lead man on the phone reappeared and asked.

"It's all in the card." Lu Ming nodded.

"Then come with me to town!"

With the sudden sound of motorcycles, more than ten minutes later, the group came to the bank in the center of the town.

"Three hundred thousand!" An obese middle-aged man sits next to a black sedan. After looking at Lu Ming's eyes, he spoke.

"Isn't it two hundred thousand? How did it rise to 300,000? Beside Lu Ming, his cousin, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke.

"You kid, don't you have borrowed money for so long, don't you have any interest? What about when I do charity? The fat man's eyes widened, and he raised his voice.

"300,000 is 300,000!" Lu Ming's brows furrowed, and he waved his hand to stop his red-faced cousin from trying to argue something more.

A one-time transfer of 300,000 yuan is a very cumbersome process. But the obese man just made a phone call, and everything was quickly handed over.

"Young man, I see that you are a little familiar. If you are interested, come to the cockfighting ring to play two games. The obese middle-aged man handed over the IOU and took a business card.

"Okay, I'll go play when I have time." Lu Ming did not refuse, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded.
