Chapter 170: Gambling Addiction

The day before yesterday, I was lucky and won twenty taels with ten taels of silver. Last night, I was lucky, I took ten taels of silver and won twenty taels back.

Who would have thought that this morning, luck was bad, and a few handfuls even lost their books, and there was no one left. Isn't this coming back to get the silver, and planning to get back the money that you lost in the bet!

"What are you doing? Bunny, come back! ”

Shen Nengwen couldn't wait, so he started directly in person, searched his father, took out the only few pieces of broken silver left from Shen Cai's arms, turned around and ran.

Shen Cai was dumbfounded, Shen Nengwen has been in and out of the gambling house recently, he doesn't know at all, and he has no responsibility to be a father, and now the last bit of silver on his body has been touched by his son, and the silver for drinking wine is gone, only to find that his eldest son is a little wrong.

The door of the store was not closed, and he followed Shen Nengwen to chase after him, but on the day of today's market, there were many people on the street, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Nengwen was gone, and Shen Cai, who was angry, jumped to his feet.

"Rabbit cub, even Lao Tzu dares to rob the silver he drinks, wait for you to come back, and the family law will deal with it!"

Shen Cai was in a hurry just after him, and he flashed to his waist a little, holding on to his old waist, and walked back with a sigh. He kept cursing his son for not being filial.

Passing by the tavern, I stopped and thought about it, but I still entered the tavern, and there was no silver to pay the bill. A plate of peanuts, half a catty of braised pork, two taels of wine, and two white-flour steamed buns.

took a sip of wine, put a chopstick stewed pork into his mouth, squinted his eyes, and sighed.

"This is called the days."

In the past three months, Shen Caike has learned how to enjoy, and after a meal of wine and meat, he has forgotten everything.

The sun set, the lanterns in front of each house were lit, and Shen Nengwen came back happily, and was caught by Shen Cai when he entered the door.

"Rabbit cub, dare to rob Lao Tzu's silver......"

When I saw my father, I didn't wait for him to finish complaining. Shen Nengwen directly threw the money pocket on the counter, and the heavy silver smashed on it with a snap, blocking Shen Cai's mouth at once.

"Where did you get so much silver?" Shen Cai turned the money pocket in his hand, and it cost more than twenty taels to say the least.

"Dad, you take it to the bar, it's only a few small dollars."

Shen Nengwen smiled proudly, turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Shen Cai.

"Dead boy, are you going to block it?"

The fastest way to get money is to gamble, how can Shen Cai also mix in the backer town for many years, and the gamblers have also seen a lot, seeing that Shen Nengwen did not deny it, and looked proud, he figured it out at once.

Shen Cai slapped Shen Nengwen's head several times with hatred.

"Dead boy, I can't read the book, you still learn to block it, you are doing death!"

Shen Cai used his strength, and Shen Nengwen was beaten and screamed.

"Daddy, listen to me! I also know that gambling is not good, but we don't use our own money to block, and if we win the bet, we will eat and drink well. If you lose the bet, isn't there a grain store to carry it? We don't have any losses, what are we afraid of? ”

Shen Nengwen is full of crooked reasoning, gambling itself is a pity, once it is contaminated, it is difficult to quit, and it is not right to gamble with anyone's money.

But Shen Cai actually listened to it, and felt that what the eldest son said was right. He has long been curious, and he wants to try the fun of gambling, but he has also seen gamblers who have lost their fortunes, and understands the truth of losing nine out of ten bets, so he has been suppressing his careful thoughts. Now that the eldest son reminded him, Shen Cai felt that the mouth was suddenly opened, anyway, the silver was not his own, and he would not feel distressed if he lost.

Shen Nengwen took advantage of his father's stunned moment, quickly snatched the money pocket, and went back to the house to sleep.

Next.

Shen Nengwen didn't eat breakfast, and was about to go out with the silver, but he was stopped by Shen Cai before he reached the door, he thought that his father would teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect that his father would also go with him to have a look.

The two of them have never gone away in such a harmonious way, and as for the grain store, it is closed for a day.

Blocking this thing really can't be touched at all, and I want to let go unless I chop my hand.

The carrier pigeons that have flown into Shen Zhong's house have been a bit frequent recently, and this is the third letter this morning.

Xiao Xia opened the letter and read it at a glance, first frowned, and when he put down the letter, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Shen Cai's father and son are both addicted to gambling, and now they have reached the point of being fascinated day and night, and the Jinyu Mantang has not been open for three days.

Because Xiao Wang was pregnant and hungry, she ate four meals a day.

At this time, it was noon, and the Xiao Xia sisters had lunch with their mother, and Xiao Wang went back to the house to sleep.

Xiao Xia looked at the weather and decided to go fishing, thinking about how to deal with Shen Cai and their father and son, they were really more capable of dying than Xiao Xia imagined! Fishing is an activity that Natsu likes very much, and it can make people feel calm and think well.

The water of the Yudai River, which had slept for a winter, is now alive again.

The earth was dyed green, and the animals that had been dormant for the winter came out to feed, and the birds on the tender green branches stopped in flocks, resting enough to continue to fly north.

Shen Xiaoxia sat by the river, wearing a cloak, fishing quietly, this time she still didn't put bait. Fishing is not the goal, the purpose is to empty your mind, let your brain rest, and feel the warmth of nature.

The day in May is already very warm, probably because Xiao Xia is too relaxed, and I don't know when there will be an old man by her side.

The old man was dressed in a gray robe, draped in a black cotton cloak, his right hand clenched his fist to his mouth, and coughed a few times from time to time, which attracted the attention of Xiao Xia, who was already out of the world.

Xiao Xia turned his head to look at the old man who was dressed heavily, and he was really afraid that his coughing lungs would come out. Respecting and loving the young is a traditional virtue, Xiao Xia put down the fishing rod, untied the kettle at his waist, and handed it over.

"Old man, drink some hot water to moisten your throat."

Listening to Xiao Xia's voice, the old man turned his head to look at her and waved his hand.

Xiao Xia was shocked by the old man's eyes, and the sadness in the old man's eyes was too heavy, like the sky before a downpour, pressing people out of breath, and complaining that he would cough and shiver.

Xiao Xia stood beside the old man and felt sad and painful, looking at the beautiful Jade Belt River in front of him, the sun shone on the river surface sparkling, starlight, obviously beautiful like the Milky Way in the Heavenly Palace, why did this old man be so sad?

Xiao Xia stood for a while and sat back to continue fishing, the long bamboo pole propped up on the water, with a fishing line tied to the top, the fishing line rippled slightly in the breeze, but no fish would ever swim to move it.

"You didn't hang the bait."

The old man seemed to have a question, but in fact it was in an affirmative tone.

"Yes, those who wish to take the bait and try to have peace of mind."

"You are very smart, and my son was very intelligent and sensible when he was your age. It's a pity ......"

Hearing this, Xiao Xia knew that it was a white-haired person who sent a black-haired person, and he couldn't help but feel sad all over his body.

Xiao Xia thought that the old man would be talking about something, but he didn't speak after waiting for a long time. In the end, he said another sentence before leaving, which made Xiao Xia's heart warm up suddenly.

"Little girl, the river is very cold, be careful when fishing by the river!"
