"Borrow you, save it, right?" Wu Ming didn't bother to look at Chen Xijiu, why did he lend you money because he was not related to you, besides, who would dare to lend money to a neurotic who had just escaped from a mental hospital.

Just as Chen Xijiu shook his head and sighed, Chen Dawen patted him on the shoulder from behind and said to him in private: "I only have two yuan, if it's not too little, I can lend you one." ”

"Thank you, Brother Wen." Chen Xijiu happily took a coin from his hand, and thought to himself that this Chen Dawen is a very good person, and he is a person who can be deeply befriended.

……

"Big brother, what's the situation on the other side of the dock, all the people from our calligraphy and painting stall have gone over there to bet."

Not far from the dock, in a large compound, a rather stout man said to a fat man.

The strong man's name is Ma Rulong, the younger brother of the fat man, and the fat man himself is called Ma Rubao, and their brother has been in Chungang for five years.

Five years ago, the two brothers were still mostly children, too young, helpless here, bullied, and then taken in by Ji Ye, who opened a calligraphy and painting stall, and recognized him as a righteous son, and stayed in the calligraphy and painting stall to take care of the business.

Calligraphy and painting stalls are not actually selling calligraphy and paintings, but a very popular gambling method in the last era, similar to the lottery, that is, before betting on a calligraphy and painting with a pattern hidden in the tea can, such calligraphy and painting often have thirty-two, let the gambling people bet to guess, and so on to smash the tea can, the calligraphy and painting fell out, and the person who bet on the calligraphy and painting will naturally win.

The rules are relatively simple, suitable for all ages, bet more and bet less, quite popular, like Ji Ye's calligraphy and painting stall has been open for nearly 20 years, enduring, at this moment was robbed of business by the dock, naturally unhappy.

"Brother, let's go to the dock and see what the hell is going on over there." The younger brother Ma Rulong suggested.

"Forget it, the dock is the territory of the foreman Juye, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so let him go." Ma Rubao shook his fat head, not wanting to do much.

"Oh, we're not here to make trouble, just take a look, it's okay to take a look, people are making new names, we have to follow suit, right, if you think I'm wrong, you can refute me." Ma Rulong said with a serious face.

Ma Rubao's fat lips opened, and he couldn't think of anything to refute his brother for a while.

"Let's go, let's go, look at the excitement, don't rub it off." Ma Rulong pushed his brother hard, and Ma Rubao, the fat boy, could only come to the dock half-pushing.

"I'm dripping my God, half of the people in Shek Kip Tail are here." Ma Rulong looked at the crowded dock and almost couldn't believe his eyes.

The crowd has already crowded the wharf, even the trees are crawling, and the tea stall is almost unable to sit down.

"Hey, uncle, what the hell are you doing over there, why are so many people gathered?" Ma Rubao asked the old man at the tea stall.

The old man said: "You have just come, someone wants to challenge the living sign of the master of the horse, the news has already spread, everyone is rushing to bet, and the competition will start in a while, if you want to bet, go quickly, don't greet you, I have to go to add water." ”

So many people almost held up the tea stall to the point of bursting, how could the old man have more opportunities to gossip, he couldn't be busy, of course, he was very happy, so many people tonight, at least ten more days of tea money.

"Someone actually challenged Dali Liu, wouldn't it? I've seen that guy, he can carry ten sacks of rice grain alone, and there is no opponent so far, who has the courage to challenge him? Ma Rulong's face was incredible.

"What's the use of just guessing, let's squeeze in and see." Ma Rubao said, anyway, it's already here, if there is a lively look, then watch it happily.

In this era, entertainment activities are very, very limited, rich people can go to nightclubs, go to dance halls, but the poor can only go home to hug their daughters-in-law in addition to gambling, and those who do not have daughters-in-law go to the stable, or sleep a lot, where there is a lively place to see, it is absolutely rare and tight.

"Brother, I can't squeeze in, what should I do?" People are next to people, and Ma Rulong can't find any place where he can see the stitches.

"What to do? Look at me! Ma Rubao brute force attacked, and his mountain-like body pushed forward like a bulldozer, and with the shouting and scolding one after another, he forced a path out of the crowd.

"Brother, it's really yours!" Ma Rulong gave a thumbs up, and he could already see who the two sides were about to compete.

"No, it's him?!" After Ma Rulong saw Wu Shihao, he said in surprise.

"Who is it?" Ma Rubao followed his younger brother's gaze and looked at the competition venue.

"It's Wu Shihao," Ma Rulong said: "This kid is very righteous, and he has a good reputation in this part of the dock, and several fellow villagers follow him to do things, but I didn't expect him to have the courage to challenge Dali Liu...... Brother, who do you think will win? ”

"Don't you know him better than I do, whoever you say is whoever you are." Ma Rubao doesn't care, and when he encounters things that he can't decide, he usually listens to his younger brother.

"Then let's make a bet, buy less, and press ...... Crush Wu Shihao! Ma Rulong said.

"Hold him? No way...... Don't you see that more than ninety to fifty percent of people are betting on Da Liu? Wu Shihao's side has already lost thirty. Ma Rubao said to his younger brother.

"Big brother, we are opening a calligraphy and painting stall, and we are engaged in gambling, think about it, more than ninety or five percent of people buy vigorously Liu Win, and then we will buy it, even if we bet right, we won't make much money, but it's different on Wu Shihao's side......" Ma Rulong smiled wickedly.

"What if we lose?" Ma Rubao said again.

"No in case. I know that Wu Shihao is a down-to-earth person, he will not do this kind of thing without more than ninety percent certainty, he has won, if you disagree with my point of view, you can also refute me. Ma Rulong once again made a serious face.

Ma Rubao naturally wouldn't refute his younger brother, he was used to it, and finally nodded, "Okay, then we'll bet on Wu Shihao, but, buy a little less, it's almost fine, you know?" ”

"I see." When he said this, Ma Rulong and his brother each bet a dollar, but as soon as Ma Rubao left the betting position, Ma Rulong immediately took out another big bill, "Lao Jia bet another hundred yuan Wu Shihao." ”

bet 100 yuan on Wu Shihao, which shocked almost all the gamblers nearby, including Chen Xijiu.

Chen Xijiu secretly looked at Ma Rulong, and said secretly in his heart: This guy has a good eye, so many people can't see that Wu Shihao will win, but he has a unique vision, and he also bet a hundred yuan, this courage is very human.

"It seems that this kid is also not a simple person." Chen Xijiu took out a coin borrowed from Chen Dawen, and while betting, he secretly wrote down Ma Rulong's appearance.

In this era, there are turbulent times, and there are too many awesome bigwigs, and it is good to know more bigwigs.
