There are some roads that once you step out, you can never turn back.

"Sell doubles!"
"This beauty is so courageous, she sells a double bowl, who wants it! There are about 100,000 on both sides! ”
"Me! Double I want it! ”
"Okay, open! Four blacks, doubles! ”
"Damn, I lost, I've already opened ten pairs in a row!"
"I said brother, you have won millions, these hundreds of thousands, you don't lose!"
"Haha, that's, it's worth losing to a beauty!"
Panshan, on the top of a mountain, Ye Ping sat in the crowd, his empty sleeves whirring with the shaking of his body.
He only had one hand, but it didn't affect his skill in shaking the saucer, and he shouted loudly as he shook it.
Lin Feng and Zhou Yatong sat on the left and right sides of the door panel, counting money, clearing accounts, and each game, they collected money and paid respectively, and the gambling game was carried out in an orderly manner.
Ye Pingping couldn't remember how many days it was, and he repeated what he had done yesterday day after day.
If in the past, hundreds of thousands of dollars of income went into his pocket every day, he must have been extremely excited.
These days, however, he is not happy at all.
No matter where he goes with Xiaotong or what he does, there is a person who follows him like a shadow, staring at him.
This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, but he was helpless.
A few days ago, the stone rain that attacked Jiang Ruoxue not only did not intensify the conflict between Dawn School and this gang of scumbags, but both sides became calm, as if nothing had happened.
He wanted to get out of the quagmire, but his goal was not reached, and his heart became more and more restless.
What frightened him was that this uneasiness came from nowhere.
The calmer the storm, the more restless his mind became.
However, he didn't dare to show it, even in front of Xiaotong, he was happy, he ate when he should eat, and slept when he should sleep, as usual.
He felt that he had become the ant climbing on the tombstone again, not thinking about the past and not looking forward to the future.
Ye Ping continued to shake the plate, and the sound of the corn seeds in the dish was like thousands of cicadas chirping, stirring the disordered thoughts in his heart.
"Bang!" There was a soft thud, and the saucer slammed against the door panel.
"Buy and leave!" Ye Ping let out a low sigh and glanced around at the crowd, "In this game, has anyone bought and sold?" ”
No one answered.
"Okay, swing open!" Ye Ping let out a low snort again and uncovered the plate.
The corn seeds in the dish, two colors, two yellow and two black!
"Double!"
As soon as Ye Pingping's words fell, Lin Feng on the left took all the money on the "single" side and threw it to Zhou Yatong on the right, who was very profitable, and then lost the money in his hand one by one on the "double" side, and put away the rest of the money himself.
Suddenly, Ye Pingping stopped moving, looked at Lin Feng, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, will you shake two?" ”
"What are you doing?" Lin Feng frowned.
"Maybe I ate something unclean, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable, I'll go to the convenience ha!" Ye Pingping said with a smile.
"That's a lot of!" Lin Feng snorted coldly, got up and sat down in Ye Ping's position, "Come back quickly!" ”
"Thank you, Brother Feng!" With a dry laugh, Ye Ping walked out of the crowd.
Call......
There was a wind blowing, and Ye Pingsheng shivered.
Only then did he realize that the sun was about to set.
As if he had just returned to Panshan, the sunset on the horizon was red and gorgeous, like blood flowing in the sky.
Xiaotong said that she likes the sunset, because after the sunset, you can see the beautiful night sky, and there will be stars twinkling, as if her relatives after passing away are watching her.
However, he was afraid.
Those stars, like countless eyes staring at him, he couldn't tell which ones were relatives and which ones were enemies.
Feeling panicked, Ye Ping covered his stomach, burrowed into a forest, took a long breath, leaned against a tree, and lit a cigarette.
The green smoke is curling, where is he still a little uncomfortable at this time?
"Ahem!" Just then, two coughs were heard.
"Who?"
Ye Pingping glanced around, but he didn't see anyone, and he couldn't help but collapse.
"Do you know that you're afraid, you've done too much to worry about?" With a chuckle, above Ye Pingping's head, a black shadow flew by, and in an instant, it fell in front of him.
"You ......"
Ye Pingping finally saw the person who came, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, and exclaimed, "Luo...... Uncle Luo! ”
"I'm dozing off in a tree!"
Luo Bangcheng shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the ground, "What are you doing sneakily about?" ”
"You...... Why are you here? Ye Ping stammered and asked.
"This forest belongs to my family, have you forgotten?" Luo Bangcheng patted the firewood knife behind his back and said casually, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be next month, and I'm going to light firewood for August 15!" ”
"Then you cut slowly, I'm leaving!" Ye Pingping said, taking a step.
"Why, when you see your uncle, you don't talk about it?"
Luo Bangcheng smiled and said, "Is it that your kid has made a fortune, and I'm afraid that my uncle will borrow money from you!" ”
"Look at what you said...... Ye Pingping laughed dryly, and simply sat next to Luo Bangcheng, "It turns out that Uncle Luo knows about it, I make a bet, but in fact, it's just a mess of food!" ”
"Not necessarily!"
Luo Bangcheng turned his head and stared at Ye Pingping, "I heard that the current Muye Village is not allowed to enter or exit?" A group of people here, a group of people over there, are all unfamiliar faces, what are they going to do? I also heard that the new female teacher was beaten with black stones on the half-slope of Sanmiao Village, there is this matter, it is all related to your kid! ”
"You ......" Ye Pingping gasped, "Uncle Luo, how do you know?" ”
"People are watching the sky, do you think you can hide it from everyone?" Luo Bangcheng said quietly, "I don't want to take care of your Miao people's affairs, and I don't bother to take care of them, but if someone makes my eighteen villages in Panshan a miasma, then don't let my uncle turn around and don't recognize people!" One of your hands is gone, don't you even want your head? I don't even want a face anymore? ”
"Uncle Luo, what do you want to say?" Ye Pingping didn't understand why he didn't understand at this time, Luo Bangcheng was waiting for him on purpose, and he might have been staring at him for several days.
"I'm gambling here, but I didn't bring in the villagers from the Eighteen Villages, and I let them withdraw from the children who originally showed me the sentry......"
"No need to explain!" Luo Bangcheng waved his hand, "What kind of person are you, you know it yourself, you have to explain, go to the grave and explain it to your grandma, how filial piety, how competitive, and how promising, let her take a good look at her son, what has become now, glorious ancestors!" ”
"You!" Ye Pingping's face changed.
The death of his mother is an eternal pain in his heart.
He used to be at home, always stealing chickens and dogs, his mother was hard, and he suffered too much cold eyes and ridicule, not to mention the Mu family, even the Ye family didn't want to see him.
It is said that when people die, the rice pot is opened, this is the rule, the family has something, everyone helps. However, when my mother died, no one came, not even one to sit at night.
He came to the door one by one, knelt down and begged the villagers for help, and finally carried his mother up the mountain to be buried.
On that day, Uncle Luo also came and brought a lot of Zhong family members to help, he was grateful, but what could he do?
Poverty is the root of trouble!
Since then, he has run away from home and has not returned for eight years.
He also wants to keep to himself, but does he have a choice? Liu Xingyu forced him, Deng Qingrong forced him, Xiaotong followed him at the age of seventeen, and he has never left until now, how can he let her be hurt?
Who is Deng Qingrong? A complete scumbag, a devil with no bottom line, Liu Xingyu has nothing to do about it, what can he do?
Back in Konoha Village, although it is his hometown, he is helpless, and no one can help him.
Even that old thing in Muguanhe has hooked up with those people, he has been stared at all day long, who is he looking for help?
Why didn't he know that there was something strange about this? Deng Qingrong said that he would come down to lend money and release goods, but what? They didn't really do anything but take out a few loans.
On the contrary, there are many strange faces gathered in the caves in the back mountains, and they buy the agricultural products of the villagers at a high price.
That cave, except for Muguanhe, all the other villagers, including him, can't go up, if it's someone else, enjoy it, can't see anything famous, but he can know with his feet, that cave, there are cats, there are secrets that can't be seen.
He could even guess what those people were doing.
But he is helpless, he is weak, he just wants to protect his woman, and he can't do anything else.
He doesn't like to be at the mercy of others like this, if his grandmother has a spirit in the sky, she will be ashamed of him when she sees him like this.
But in the face of absolute strength, no matter what he thinks, it will not help, he can only swallow his anger and pretend to be confused.
"There is only a position, but there is no distinction between right and wrong, you say you...... Hey, you're doing it for yourself! ”
Luo Bangcheng stood up, glanced at Ye Pingping deeply, shook his head, and disappeared into the jungle.
"When you were cut by Wu Zhiyuan, why didn't you ask your heart and ask yourself if you did something wrong? Uncle Luo, once you step out of some roads, it will be difficult to turn back! Unless...... There are miracles! ”
Shaking his head vigorously, Ye Pingping covered his stomach again and walked out of the jungle.
At this time, he realized that the gambling game had dispersed, and the gamblers had dispersed, leaving only some people to clean up the tables and chairs.
"It's convenient for you, why is it half a day?" Lin Feng walked over and looked at himself suspiciously.
"Diarrhea!" Ye Pingping said helplessly, "Brother Feng, why did you disperse?" It's still so early! ”
"Why, you don't make enough money!" Lin Feng snorted coldly, no longer paid attention to Ye Pingping, turned around and walked down the mountain, "Xiao Zhang, you stay and help clean up, the others are scattered!" ”
Lin Feng led people away, and on the top of the mountain, there were only three people left, Ye Pingping, Zhou Yatong, and the young man named Xiao Zhang.
"Brother Ye, are you okay?" Zhou Yatong walked over with a worried face.
"It's fine!" Ye Pingping smiled and said, "I originally wanted to come up to the mountain with you once, but Brother Feng didn't let me, whenever I left, I would leave a tail to follow!" ”
"I'm in such a hurry, I'll come with you when I get home!" Zhou Yatong smiled coquettishly.
"Where's the money?" Ye Pingping asked.
"In the bag, what's wrong?" Zhou Yatong was puzzled.
Ye Pingping raised his head, his eyes fell on the young man who was cleaning up the tables and chairs, and said leisurely: "Give me 50,000!" ”
"Oh!" Zhou Yatong did not hesitate, took out a few wades of money from her bag, and put them in Ye Pingping's hands.
Smiling slightly, Ye Pingping walked towards the young man.
"Brother Zhang, it's still early, take a break and smoke a cigarette!"
"Hehe, thank you Brother Ye!"
The two sat on the grass, smoking cigarettes and chatting casually.
"Brother, come down for the next few days, let's get used to it!"
"It's okay, come out and mix, it's normal to run around, it's just a little less fun, no women!"
"Brother Feng, how much money do you share every day!"
"Brother Feng is very good to us, he is doing chores on the mountain, and there are four or five hundred yuan to see the field, and he doesn't have to be stared at by pimps, it's much stronger than in the city, those bosses have an appointment, each talent is two hundred, it's okay if you can't fight, and when you fight, it's a little ......."
"Haha, it's a good thing to make money!"
"What Brother Ye said is that if you come out to mix, you still have to talk about money, otherwise who knows you!"
"By the way, brother, why is Brother Feng in such a hurry today!"
"This ......"
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for my brother, come out to mix, it's nothing more than to make money, and then try to be happy!" Ye Pingping said, took out the pile of money just now, and quietly put it into Xiao Zhang's pocket.
The young man didn't know why: "Brother Ye, this ......"
"Don't worry!" Ye Pingping said softly, "I never gave you money, you never confiscated money, brother, knife money, it's not easy to earn, for a while, you didn't say anything, I can't hear anything!" ”
"This ......" hesitated for a moment, the young man gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that early this morning, Zhao Shanhe rushed into the cave with Xiaolong Xiaohu, knocked over many people, and was so fierce that Brother Jian was directly trampled on by Zhao Shanhe in the face, and in the end, it was Mu Guanhe who came out with a gun and tied up the three little cubs!" For the sake of face, they only notified Brother Feng now, so ......"
When Ye Pingping heard this, he inhaled secretly: "It's just a few children, what is the need to make such a big fuss?" ”
"Brother Ye, you are not thin on your brother, I told you, but you must not spread it!" Xiao Zhang glanced around, and then, leaned into Ye Pingping's ear, and said in a low voice, "Boss Deng is making white noodles in the cave, and then take it to the city to sell, they want you to gamble, it's just a pretense, to attract the attention of the faction, and the collection of agricultural products is just a cover-up, Zhao Shanhe accidentally found out, so there was a conflict, now, Brother Jian doesn't know how to deal with it, Mu Guanhe is here, he can't kill and kill, he can't let go and let go, and finally he has to go over to Brother Feng, but I guess Brother Feng doesn't know how to deal with it, and he has to come down in person, and, Brother Feng asked me to stay, just to spy on your ......"
"This ......" Ye Pingping's heart fluctuated.
Among them, there is really something boring, although he has been guessing, but after learning the details, he still can't help but be shocked.
Deng Qingrong, who was a dog day, dared to make drugs in Konoye Village.
It's no wonder that Mu Guanhe hooked up with them during this time, for this matter, what a lot of money.
What's damning is that Deng Qingrong, an old thing, actually hid from him, tricked him, and treated himself as if he was really slaughtered by others?
"Brother, are you serious?" Ye Pingping asked.
"How dare I talk nonsense about such a thing?" Xiao Zhang said, "Brother Ye, it's good that you understand it in your heart, don't spread it, otherwise, my head will ......."
"Don't worry!" Ye Pingping patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder, "If you don't say it, if I don't say it, no one will say it, go and help your sister-in-law clean up, we should go back too!" ”
"Okay!" Xiao Zhang grinned, got up and went busily.
Perhaps, this is a miracle...... Zhao Shanhe is a student of Dawn School, he is missing, that female gentleman must intervene, surnamed Deng, I don't think you show up this time? ”
Ye Pingping smiled, feeling comfortable.
He looked at the sunset on the horizon, and suddenly felt cute, just like a woman's face, red and fluttering.
At this moment, a butterfly fluttered, flew past his eyes, gradually turned into a dot, and disappeared into the sky.
