During the few days I was in the town, I was familiar with the town with Namiantang. One day, he mysteriously led me to a nearby village.

We were going in a carriage, and when the coachman stopped the carriage at the entrance of the village, we were both dozing off. The coachman tightened the reins, shouted "huh", and said: "Wake up, Liujia Village has arrived." ”

The two of us lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, but the world that greeted us was like a "peach blossom paradise". But seeing the smoke curling, the clouds and mist, a clear blue stream flowing through the village, quietly irrigating the countryside in the distance.

I was startled, and when I walked forward, the breeze blew a fresh fragrance of jasmine, and when I turned my head to look, I saw a large tea garden on the top of the mountain. The tea garden is full of jasmine flowers as white as jade, and the fragrance of the heart and spleen makes people linger. Several tea pickers are picking tea, drinking mountain songs while picking tea leaves:

Where is the rain falling on the zenith, the boy, the bullet, the thunder, the boy, the Gongyi

At the bottom of the creek, there is no water

Fish, this mess, bang

Love which mile Ah Niangzai, no, dare to talk about Yi

There's no way to find a matchmaker

Bucket yo, this mile is empty......

I listened to several girls singing in unison, and I couldn't help but feel a little like I was in a fairyland, and sighed: "This place is really a fairyland...... By the way, that Miantang, do you know what they are singing? ”

Na Miantang smiled: "It was said that a young man liked a girl, but he never dared to express it, so he wanted to find a matchmaker to help him talk about it, saying, Mao Jiujiu likes that Miantang-"

My face flushed slightly, and I sneered, and said with a smile: "Phew, come on, others still know how to find a matchmaker, but you, even the matchmaker is reluctant to find a matchmaker..... Drag me and run. I knew I was speechless, so I quickly covered my mouth.

That Miantang laughed, I actually fell for his trick, I have been used to similar to this kind of "flirting" chat in recent days.

I asked him, "Who are we going to?" ”

"A long-time friend of my adoptive father, a seven-year-old man, the head of his family is on the mountainside, and he is almost there."

As we climbed the mountainside, the first thing that caught our eye was a well-organized vegetable garden. Fruits and vegetables are planted in different areas of the garden, and all the crops are lush, showing a thriving scene.

I felt very kind when I saw this vegetable garden, and my joy was overflowing, and I grabbed Namiantang's arm and said, "Your villa should plant some Jiangxi, don't plant flowers and grass, waste more land." ”

He squinted at me: "You have changed from a vegetable farmer girl to a master fighter, this struggle is not ordinary." ”

"Is there a difference between taking a sickle and a machete? I cut you. "I beat him with a fierce look. He couldn't help but smile as he used his hand to fend me off.

I accidentally entered the vegetable garden while running to fight. However, just as he was about to take three steps, he suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from under his feet: "Don't move! ”

I was taken aback. When I looked down, I saw an old man lifting the green straw mat covered on his body and getting up from the ground. If he hadn't shouted in time, I would have almost stepped on him.

I was stunned, but the old man crawled to my feet, opened the soles of my feet with his hands, and picked up an earthworm from below that I had stepped on to the tail.

The old man brought the earthworm up in front of him, and said to himself to the earthworm: "Worm, just say that you won't let you come out, the world is sinister, don't run around, it's easy to get hurt, go back, go back to your home, go back to the arms of the earthy father." As he spoke, he dug a small hole in the dirt and put earthworms in it.

I looked at this strange old man very curiously, the old man had already stood up, he had a mouth of uneven yellow teeth, a protruding rosacea, and a delirious language, but he looked at me carefully with a pair of old but flickering eyes, the pair of leopard eyes were bigger than a lantern, and I hurriedly said: "Old man, we have come from a neighboring village to look for someone, and I am sorry for salvaging your sweet dream." ”

The old man smiled almost obscene again, and said with a grin: "Listen to this girl, she is as beautiful as she looks!" ”

I was so angry that I wanted to scold him, but when I turned back to look for the rescuer of Na Miantang, I saw that he had already restrained himself and laughed.

The old man also pointed at the Miantang nose and scolded him: "Stinky boy, I finally know that I am remembered." ”

That Miantang bowed respectfully, but said disrespectfully: "Old Shang, you old pervert, you are really not old!" ”

The old man-Lao Shang squinted his eyes again and asked: "Say, how much trouble have you caused, your leg is a standard three-knife one, and you have to come from Shanghai to recuperate at this time?" ”

That Miantang was as plain as water: "It's not a big deal, I carried it with Zhang Chenglin." ”

"It's for this girl." Lao Shang stared at me with wide eyes for a while, and suddenly said: "It should be robbed, it's so beautiful, if it's me, I'll rob it too, it's also romantic to die under the peony flower...... Boy, finally let me see that you have a good point, hahaha. ”

Na Miantang squinted, hugged my shoulders and said, "My woman." ”

Lao Shang seemed to be joking and crazy, staring at me: "You have such a beautiful girl to play with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to control and hook up with her, and you obviously haven't understood the charm of my old man Shang, it's really a bit sorry for Wang Yaxian to cause a tragedy." By the way, what's wrong with Wang Yaxi, this old man? ”

I had a bold black line on my face: "Do you know ......?"

Lao Shang led us into the inner courtyard as he spoke, and asked, "Who is in charge of the Qinghong Gang now, or is it the old boy from Huo Zhuoshan?" ”

Na Miantang nodded: "It's him." ”

I vaguely felt that this old man's previous status in the gang must be unusual, at least above that Miantang.

"It's not promising!" Lao Shang said: "Among the three descendants, Du Shaoqing still has a bit of vision and belly, as for Zhang Chenglin, I said a long time ago that letting him enter the gang is to raise tigers for trouble......"

Afterwards, the two of them talked secretly in the house for nearly half an hour, and I didn't bother to listen to them gang affairs and came out to play by myself.

When I was tired of playing, I turned back to look for the Miantang, but found that the two people who were talking secretly and the dozen or so villagers were shouting in a circle, and the Miantang saw me coming, and hurriedly took my hand over, it turned out to be gambling, and I was very happy.

In the center of the circle, Lao Shangtou and I gently bowed our heads and posed as if we were about to duel.

I shouted, "Everyone, press down!" Who wins? ”

The old man roared: "Do you still need to say? Crush me! ”

The villagers all shook their heads and said, "Lao Shang, I can't press you anymore, if I press you again, we will all lose to this cat!" ”

"Yes, yes, our land is going to be lost to her!"

"And my family's two cows, if we press you again, the cat girl will become the village chief."

I was triumphant, smiling and saying, "Did you hear that?" Do you understand what the people want? Lao Shang, accept it or not! ”

Lao Shang glared at him and shouted, "I don't accept it-" The saliva almost sprayed me in the face!

That Miantang hurriedly blocked his mouth with his hand, I wiped my face and smiled: "If you don't accept it, come again!" ”

"Come on, I'll come first!" After speaking, Lao Shang played a white piece on the chessboard on the ground, and I fought with him again.

I won again, I laughed, and said unashamedly: "I was born in the casino, grew up on the gambling table, and the first thing I touched in my next life was my bones, and the first thing I said was called Tianmen. Just my name is Jiujiu! Why? This is called the gambling king in the world, possessed by the God of Wealth! ”

The simple village family looked adoring.

Of course, I didn't collect what I won, but these were all counted on that Miantang, and that Miantang gave me the account for the villagers, and I became a little rich woman, anyway, he had the money.

In the afternoon, Na Miantang and I left, and Lao Shang gave Na Miantang a bag from his arms, and said: "Good boy, do it well, there are talents in the country, and when it is critical, give this to Huo Zhuoshan, and he will recognize me with a little face." ”

I looked at Lao Shang's back: "What a strange old man." ”

The Miantang snorted: "Really? ”

I said seriously, as if jokingly, "yes, very attractive, if he were twenty years younger, I would choose him." “

"Cut!"

For a few days, he and I lived peacefully and happily.

One day after breakfast, Na Miantang said to me, "You said you want to go and see the scenery, do you want to go?" It's not far from here, but the condition is that after you return to Shanghai, you and Pony Six will live with me. ”

"Living with you?" I was cheap and quickly covered my mouth.

He looked up and laughed, jokingly, "I'd love to, no, no, you're in a room, but if you want, I don't mind being in a room with you, cat." ”

"Deal, I've got a room."

"Okay, we'll leave in the afternoon."

I jumped and pulled his arm: "That Miantang, okay, I'm ready, let's move quickly, it's not too early, I'm going to set off early." Please, that Miantang. ”

"Why not? The weather is so good, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it. ”

I got up and ran to the door, but Miantang stopped, "Cat, be careful, otherwise I won't be able to take you on a voyage if you break your neck."

I slowed down, and I was secretly happy. It's great to have something to look forward to.

We took the train to another city, and it was already evening.

He and I walked around the city and night fell.

"Cat, look at the sky, it seems that these stars are so close to us."

It was darkness that I noticed for the first time how close I was in the sky, and that the stars twinkling in the sky were brighter than I could remember. I reached out to try to grab it, and one of the stars looked like it was almost out of reach.

Na Miantang stopped, put his hand on my hand, and motioned for me to stop, his voice was low and kind: "That's because of the sea, there is only sea water near us, listen carefully, you can hear the sea breathing." ”
