Chapter 21, Gambling Debts

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and on this day of the Jin family, bad things happened one after another.

In the evening, the sunset waved, and Shili Village ushered in the first thunderstorm of late autumn.

The crackling rain beans hit the blue and gray tiles of the roof mercilessly, and at the same time pierced the hearts of everyone in the Jin family.

This rainstorm is rare, and the old man of the Gao family, as a mile long, naturally has the awareness of taking precautions.

Dressed in a brand-new robe, he traveled among more than 70 households in Shili Village, and gathered some young and middle-aged people with great strength and experience in flood control and flood control.

Shili Village is surrounded by mountains and belongs to a shallow depression area, and every year during the thunderstorm season, the government sends people down to inspect it to prevent flood risks.

The Yunwu Mountain is higher, and the rain or groundwater on the mountain is confluent into the Qingshui River at the foot of the mountain, and this river, which is about seven zhang wide, reaches the desert and goes down to the Dian country.

The reason why Qingshui Town has a county is mainly due to this mountain and river.

In order to ensure the safety of the people of Daxiao, they are also afraid of desert people smuggling, so Qingshui Town is not only equipped with county officials, but also stationed officers and soldiers all year round.

Although this year's flood season has passed, this rainstorm came too suddenly, and the surrounding area of Shili Village is full of farmland, once the river enters the fields and floods the village, it is a simple matter, so no one dares to cheat on this matter.

Ri was going to take the others along the village to patrol all the way inside.

But just as they arrived at the head of the village, they saw a carriage coming slowly not far away, and two people were tied behind the carriage.

The storm was raging, the rain was falling, and a large crowd of people did not see what was going on.

Thinking that there was no carriage in the village, Li Zheng sent the strong Niu Dachun to take a look.

Without a cup of tea, Niu Dachun came back with a sigh of relief.

"Oh no, it's not good, Uncle Lizheng, it's a few wicked people, and they also tied up Brother Dafu, Brother Daxi......"

Da Chun said incoherently, but Rizheng clarified it, and after a moment of silence.

"Floods are very important, we need to have no distractions to ensure peace and tranquility!"

Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were clear.

Back then, Mr. Jin and Gao Li were good brothers.

The two went to school together, climbed trees and picked peaches together, skipped school together to fish, and were almost saved by the river together.

Later, a cute and spicy little girl came to the Jin family, and the three of them had a lot of fun.

The little girl's name is Wang Meifeng, and her family is poor, so she was sent to the Jin family, which is quite rich and sufficient, to be a girl.

The Jin family saw that Wang Meifeng was a kind-hearted person, so they put her next to Jin Shirong, the only golden pimple in the Jin family, after all, Jin Shirong was more weak than tough in character.

So the artificiality of two people turned into a carnival of three people.

Since ancient times, there must be a cannon fodder for a threesome.

However, the road of cannon fodder is logical and natural.

Later, Wang Dahua married into the Gao family, and "accidentally" heard about it, so he picked quarrels and provoked trouble from time to time, provoking trouble, so that the two families who were already dislike each other were completely tied to a dead knot.

The older generation in the village knows about this, even if the young men don't know the reason, but the disputes between the two families of Jin Gao have reached the point where no one knows about it.

With a loud bang, the mottled and sparse red lacquer gate of Lao Jin's house was kicked open from the outside and smashed to both sides.

The women and children in the house were startled, although Jin Lao Er said that his legs and feet were not good, but he was a gentleman, and he dragged his stump leg out, and Jin En followed.

"What about the Kim family? Get out of here! "Where the rain was not wet, a man with a wolf's back and a hat on his head shouted with the wind.

The two were taken aback by this roar, and Jin Lao Er subconsciously squeezed forward and protected Jin En behind.

The four eyes are facing each other, the cold wind is cold, and the rain is getting thicker.

The lightning that was split vertically was a little brighter than the dim lantern under the eaves of the porch, and it also made Jin Lao Er see the appearance of the person who came.

"Big brother, fourth brother, what's wrong with you? What's going on? Brotherhood overcame fear, and Jin Lao Er walked through the rainforest, bringing up the wind and blowing the hem of people's clothes.

In the back, Boss Jin and Jin Daxi stood side by side The two of them had thick linen strings tied around their wrists that could drill flesh and pierce people.

The shirt on his body was drenched by the rain, and it was stuck to the skin, like sucking.

The man's eyes were indifferent, and he glanced at Jin Lao Er carefully, "You can admit that you are your own person, and Ma Yu will take the money!" Five hundred taels! ”

Then he dropped his dripping trouser legs, looking irritable, "By the way, there is another one behind the carriage outside, I don't know if it's dead or alive, you find someone to pick it up, so that our young master won't be bored to look at it." ”

Jin Lao Er was confused, he didn't understand why he just went to buy a medicine, but when he came back, he made it like this, and what was there to do with them, he wanted to ask, but he was afraid of angering the man, but he was wrong.

Seeing that someone was leading the way, he limped after him.

But when he saw through the night that the man who looked like a dead dog on the carriage frame was his third brother, his legs were planted in the mud as soon as he was weak, and his body was mixed with the stench of mud and blood.

The little brother who led him the way saw that he was useless again, so he simply dragged the sack that pretended to be a person and got it in.

In addition to the men outside the Jin family, there were only old men left in the hall, Jin Baozhu and An's, and the two concubines of the Lin family, and when they heard Jin En explain the situation outside, they were frightened, panicked, and uneasy, and filled the crowd.

Before they could discuss countermeasures, a group of people broke in unceremoniously.

The old man has lived a peaceful life, but he is not the kind of person who can't experience big storms, but he just took a look at it, and immediately ordered to boil water to make tea and prepare a clean veil.

The man originally wanted to make a quick decision, but looking at this strange and well-behaved family, it was a little funny.

Don't twist, sit down under the old man.

The other two stood on both sides of the door, posing as if they were waiting to be summoned at any time.

Jin Baozhu secretly glanced at the man a few times, with a square face, thick eyebrows and bright eyes, straight and thick lips, and towering mountain roots.

Although it has the power of a tiger and a wolf, it also has the appearance of a gentleman.

The stone in her heart finally fell a little distance.

The matter was simple and clear, and it only took the man a quarter of an hour to explain everything back and forth, in great detail.

The man's surname is Chu, his name is Zhixiong, and he is the shopkeeper of the Juying Gambling House in the town.

After noon, Jin Laosan didn't know where to get drunk like mud, and swayed into Juyingfang.

In less than two hours, he got in, and he just got in, this idiot still doesn't know whether to live or die to provoke the gambling house, insisting that people are out of the way and committing fraud.

Just ask the whole Qingshui Town, who doesn't know that the shopkeeper of Juyingfang is righteous and respects gambling justice, fairness, openness and rationalization.

Otherwise, why is it called Juyingfang, it is the heroes of the world who gather, not the deceitful villain.

However, the gambling house is a gambling house, he Jin Laosan did not admit the loss of money, and he also spoke ill words, slandered and slandered, and the thugs in the people were not vegetarians, all of them were bloody men, so naturally they couldn't stand it, and they couldn't bear it.

It is a "quality education".

Who knows, the three of Jin Lao's funny things are actually scolding and becoming braver, and the thug brothers are naturally becoming more and more courageous.

However, just after the two brothers passed by after grabbing the medicine, they saw the miserable picture of Jin Laosan, Jin Boss was an anxious person again, and he didn't figure out the situation yet, and he also joined the melee.

When the two of them figured out the real situation, they couldn't wait to see Jin Laosan, a loser.

However, there is no regret pill in the world.

Because Jin Daxi has a reputation for showing talent, Chu Zhixiong braved the heavy rain to personally come to the door to "deliver".

After hearing this, the old man's body weakened and he collapsed to the ground.

Jin Baozhu and the others were startled, and just as they were thinking about helping people, the old man sat up with the leg of the chair by himself.

Maybe the blow was too heavy, or the blow was too light, the old man didn't faint this time, his eyes were indifferent, like a deep pool.

Then he arched his hand towards Chu Zhixiong, "The old man has no way to teach his son, and your fang is troublesome for no reason

Please forgive me! ”

Chu Zhixiong thought that he was crying and crying out for injustice, and the shrew scolded the street without appearing, but he respected the old man.

Then he got up and returned the salute, "The old man is polite, it's just that I Juyingfang is open to do business, and the wisher will come from it, and there will definitely be no intentional fraud, so ......"

He didn't say the rest of the words, but none of the people here were stupid.

"The shopkeeper Chu is benevolent, righteous and upright, but my Jin family will not have a hard time making ends meet, but it is indeed difficult to make up the huge sum of five hundred taels all of a sudden."

The old man's eyes darkened suddenly, and after a pause, he barely stood up, "I still hope that the shopkeeper Chu will have a few days of grace." ”

Chu Zhixiong took over Juyingfang in the year of the weak crown, and the situation of more than ten years was enough for him to practice a pair of discerning eyes and ponder a little.

"The old man is reasonable, and I, Chu Zhixiong, naturally don't feel too embarrassed, but ......"

"Alright! Just give the old man a grace period of three days, I don't know what the old man thinks? ”

Jin Baozhu has been paying attention to this game that is not a game, and when he sees his father's back gradually lowered, he is determined to never hide it again.

For her to live again, there is nothing more important to her than loving someone well, especially this person still agrees to love her grandfather.

So, she spoke before the old man.

The small body slid down from the wide chair and walked to Chu Zhixiong to stand.

"Hello Shopkeeper Chu! I am the little Fubao of the Jin family, my name is Jin Baozhu, I don't know if you can give me a quarter of an hour to repay the five hundred taels of gambling debts? ”

She said it firmly and delicately.

Chu Zhixiong was finally relieved, he felt strange since he came in, and now looking at the little thing in front of him, he suddenly understood, he consciously saw the world, and it was the first time he saw this kind of big scene, and he did not avoid the girl who was not flustered.

He looked directly into the eyes of the girl, clear and calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

There was only a moment of silence, and then he smiled heartily, "Okay, I'm willing to listen, what do you take in a quarter of an hour, and pay me back five hundred taels from Juyingfang." ”
