"More than eighty, living to this age, the blessing is good." With that, he took out his measuring tool, calculated the length of the wood, and then pressed the switch of the wood planer to continue his work.

I stayed at home for a long time, and I was bored, so I slipped out, ready to play with my uncle, and I didn't have to think too much about my uncle must be playing mahjong, so I went to Chen Guapi's house to find one. My uncle is more than ten years younger than my father, and he can play with a few cousins in my family, and sometimes as long as he wants to go fishing, as long as we call, he is also very happy, no longer attached to the gambling table, just pat his ass and leave. In fact, it's because I lost money, and if I don't leave, I'm afraid I'll lose my pants. Last year's Chinese New Year, he took the money he earned from the antique business into Chen Guapi's house, and lost 5,000, and then he didn't dare to gamble, so he sent me a text message, four words, Jianghu emergency, I will understand in seconds. No, I just said that the rivers and lakes are in emergency, and at this time I received a new text message, and the sender is my uncle.

There are still four words on the text message, but this time to my surprise, it is no longer the rivers and lakes emergency, but "goodbye to the rivers and lakes".

Uncle is originally a person with a lot of jokes, one on the left and one on the right, and everything he does is called mixed rivers and lakes.

Jianghu emergency and goodbye to Jianghu, although the latter two words are different, it is obvious that he won money this time, and he also needs a pretense to get out, and I am afraid he has won a lot.

On the way, I hummed a little song, and said that the uncle finally won the money, and I was happy for him from the bottom of my heart, he used to lose every gamble, and it was rare to see the rivers and lakes several times throughout the year, but at this time, I had just arrived at the gate of Chen Guapi's house, and I felt that the situation was not good.

More than a dozen shirtless men gathered in a heap, Chen Guapi held a hookah in one hand and a firewood knife in the other, and the knife strangled the back of a person's neck.

"What the hell dare to do it, do you still want the braincase?" He turned his head and pointed to the mahjong that rolled to the ground, and then said, "This chicken is very special!" ”

I saw from afar that there was one of the tiles that stood out from the crowd, and it was clear that the others were blue, and this was just green.

"The money won is in the pants bag, the money belongs to you, spare me, okay."

Chen Guapi smiled, put away the firewood knife, put the cigarette holder aside, and reached out to find the uncle's pants bag, but after digging for a long time, there was nothing, he looked confused, and turned the firewood knife sideways again.

"Uncle!"

I was in a hurry and shouted. At this time, the uncle took advantage of Chen Guapi's distraction to me, turned over with a flick of his hand, broke free from the clamps of several people, and then, grabbed the firewood knife at a speed that was not as fast as his ears, and directly stuck Chen Guapi's neck.

"Wu Ping, go on!"

At this time, the uncle took the so-called hostage, moved slowly, and then took out the car keys and threw them to me, and glanced at me. It's really not okay not to run now, the uncle is determined not to return, if he doesn't leave, I'm afraid something big will happen. For this reason, I didn't dare to delay, after catching the key, I rushed to open the car next to the electric pole at the door, but because of the poor driving skills, the car did not stop steadily, and directly hit the iron door. With a bang, everyone was startled, especially the uncle, whose face was almost green, but the top priority, he didn't care about complaining, kicked away Chen Guapi, and then jumped into the car.

"Let's go!" When Uncle said this, Chen Guapi had just gotten up from the gutter, and his whole face seemed to be distorted, and I just moved the steering wheel to the car, and stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

"The bumper and headlights are rotten, damn, I'm going to have to suffer thousands this time!"

I said in my heart that he still has the face to complain, and he did such a thing, he ran a monk and a temple, although he has been a casino friend for more than ten years, but with Chen Guapi's social background, he will definitely not let go of his uncle easily. At this time, I was concentrating on the steering wheel and it was not easy to have a seizure, but I just looked through the rearview mirror to see if anyone was chasing after me, so I slowed down, glanced sideways at my uncle, and said, "Is life important, or is money important?" ”

"Money is as important as life." At this time, the uncle took out a stack of red tickets out of nowhere and counted the number with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, you are such a witty batch, you will become a stupid hat when you go to the casino, and you shouldn't change to a different color!"

"Nephew, believe me, do you think I'm really stupid enough to tell the colors of the cards? It's just that I don't know why, the chicken is in my hands, and I just happened to win the card. ”

"I believe you have a ghost, I don't know what chicken is and what bar, turn around and take people to the house, see what you do."

"Heh, he is a few old people, forgive him and don't dare to step into the threshold of the Wu family for half a step."

Gambling is really harmful, is it possible that relatives are unwilling to tell the truth? At this time, I shook my head and braked sharply to turn around, but the uncle sighed, grabbed my arm, and said, "Don't don't, you are my own nephew." ”

As he spoke, he took out four or five cards of different colors from the crotch of his pants, threw them out of the window one by one, and said as he threw them: "What the hell, it's clear that the left side is green, and the right side is blue, and it never goes wrong, is it because of the girl who wears very little?" ”

"What, how much did you win this time?" I drove the car again, and I saw my uncle compare two fingers.

"Two thousand?"

"Twenty thousand!"

"I'll go, you've got a big foundation!"

"Of course, these are what I deserve, folded into one or two hundred thousand, twenty thousand is nothing, it is not enough to fill the previous pit."

Chen Guapi's house is not far from my home, about one or two kilometers, and my uncle resolutely refused to let me drive home, saying that he would first go back to the county seat 20 kilometers away for refuge, and the antique shop opened by my uncle.

While driving, I also talked to my uncle about the antique shop, which was very deserted and there were no customers all year round, so he had time to play mahjong. As for the 20,000 yuan he won, I thought he would use it as a turnover antique store to take advantage of the tourist season to buy more good goods, but he didn't care at all, just vaguely said that he would change careers and pour medicinal herbs. After chatting and chatting, I realized that my uncle had played mahjong for two days and two nights in a row, and his eyes had not closed, and the topic was only more than ten minutes, and he fell asleep on the back of the seat.

I thought that if I had money, I could indulge and indulge, but my uncle slept like a dead pig, so I just stayed in the county seat for one night, and the next day just after dawn, I drove my uncle's car back to Gula Town. When I arrived at the door of the house, I felt strange, there were many people standing in the courtyard, and I said in my heart that it was not Chen Guapi who was settling the account, but I glanced at everyone present, and it seemed that I didn't see the familiar faces in the mahjong hall at all, most of them were young men from the Wu family.

At this time, I saw my father tear open the crowd and walk out of the old man's house with a solemn face, he seemed to see me, but did not speak, and walked straight over to talk to a white-headed and square-faced man, of course, I could also see that the person was the master of ceremonies who hosted the funeral, that is, the Taoist priest who took care of the funeral for the elderly.

I knew it must be the old man's absence, but for some reason I asked a cousin, and the answer I got was just to go in and have a look.

Lao Tou was wearing a shroud, lying calmly in a long box, when he was alive, he closed one eye, but now he is closed, his face is pale, and his black lips bite a copper coin, seeing such a scene, I suddenly feel a sour nose, and my eye sockets are also sour.

Although he is a man with a foreign surname, he is very fierce when he is alive, and he is crazy from time to time, but when he is conscious, he will also give us New Year's money, as well as some strange gadgets...... Everything became peaceful and silent, and even I regretted calling him a name, and I was extremely ashamed.

When I had mixed feelings, I suddenly saw a corner stacked with the clothes of Lao Mentou before his death, and the top one was a long strip of linen that showed a burnt black, and I could see that the asphalt-like thing on the cloth was dripping to the ground, and it had been soaked in all directions, and this linen cloth was exactly what I had seen on Lao Mentou's left hand before. At this time, I hurriedly cast my eyes on the coffin, and suddenly chuckled in my heart, and my heart was shocked, the whole sleeve was fit together, and the inside of the sleeve was actually empty!

Could it be that his left hand had turned into black water, and there was nothing left after the sackcloth was taken apart, so why did this happen? Before I could ask the person who was buried, at this time, a person ran in while sobbing and shouting, and suddenly knelt in front of the coffin, and said that the grandfather was short.

This man is a fat man in his forties, with tattoos on his arms, and his fingers are covered with all kinds of jadeite, gold hoop rings, especially the gold chain hanging around his neck. Chen Guapi was expressionless, just glanced at me casually, and then picked up a pile of yellow paper and handed it to the fat man. The fat man cried loudly, but at this time he suddenly stopped his voice, while burning paper and looking around, and finally he locked his eyes on a corner many times, what he paid attention to was the rocking chair in front of the window, I was extremely puzzled, what is the origin of this person, not to mention that the Wu family has no such relatives, and Lao Mentou has never been such a person during his lifetime.

Later, I learned that this fat man's name is Liu Million, Chen Guapi's distant cousin, a big man in the antique market, a single business is millions, and the uncle's shop is worthless compared to this, Liu Million's name is low-key, not only playing with antique shops but also investing in real estate, and now the assets have exceeded 100 million, more than 10 real estate projects in the county, and the urban area has also bought a good house. It is worth noting that Liu Wanwan's father, Liu Yiwan once came to the Wu family's mansion, and also got acquainted with Lao Qitou and my grandfather.
