Chapter 171: Déjà vu
Xiao Xia's eyes kept following the staggering figure that was getting farther and farther away, and a carriage drove out of nowhere and pulled the old man away.
Far away, Xiao Xia couldn't see clearly, but he always felt that this carriage seemed to be seen somewhere.
The next day, Xiao Xia Ghost sent a god to come to the old place by the Yudai River to fish, looking forward to seeing the old man who made her feel kind again, and sure enough, after noon, the old man came again.
Xiao Xia was fishing, the old man looked at the Yudai River in a daze, neither of them spoke, and the breeze sent a message. An afternoon passed quickly.
Another day later, Xiao Xia came again with a fishing rod, and she just wanted to see if the old man would come.
The old man really came, and even his clothes were the same as the one he had seen the first two times, unpretentious, still standing in a daze under the willow tree next to the Yudai River.
Xiao Xia didn't bother, just fished quietly, the sadness and loneliness of the old man seemed to infect her, Xiao Xia wanted to accompany the old man quietly like this, although it couldn't make the old man not sad, but maybe it could alleviate his loneliness.
"You always come every other day, but there's something wrong with a single day?" The old man spoke first and broke the strange and harmonious silence of one old and one young.
I don't know why, Xiao Xia just doesn't want to lie to this old man.
"I'm going to practice martial arts on a single day."
The old man was obviously a little surprised, turned his head up and down to look at Shen Xiaoxia a few times, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, girls are good for learning, if my daughter is still alive, if she has a daughter, it is estimated that her granddaughter will be as old as you."
The black lines on Xiao Xia's head fell directly, this old man is really sad and pitiful, his daughter and son are dead, and no one can stand it. Xiao Xia felt a faint pain in her heart, this kind of heartache came inexplicably and wonderfully, probably because she was pitiful for this ill-fated old man!
I couldn't help but want to step forward to comfort him, but I didn't know how to speak.
The old man probably saw Xiao Xia's embarrassment and smiled far away.
"When I saw you, my heart was much clearer. I may not come here again in the future, this Jade Belt River is so beautiful, I may never see him again. ”
Xiao Xia understood that the old man was talking about this river, but in fact, he was looking at things and thinking about people, and she didn't know who he was missing.
Since that day, Xiao Xia has never seen the old man under the willow tree by the Yudai River, the old man who made her feel kind.
The Fortune Gambling House is full of smoke and miasma.
The largest gambling table in the middle of the ground was full of three religions and nine streams, some with sad faces, and some with high spirits.
At one end of the gambling table, Shen Cai's father and son, their faces were more bitter than bitter gourds, and the two taels of silver that had just been placed on the gambling table were someone else's in a blink of an eye, and now the money pockets of the two were cleaner than their faces.
The people around looked at the father and son, and they didn't bet with a sad face, knowing that they were unlucky people who lost everything, and they tightened Shen Cai's father and son out in three or two clicks.
The gamblers at the table continued to shout loudly, 'Great...... Little ......' as if whoever has a loud voice can hear the shaking dice.
Shen Cai's father and son looked at it two more greedily, patted their thighs and followed others anxiously, they had no money, if they imagined that the pressure was right, they would regret it, and they couldn't wait to sell their own father and son and go to the gambling table again.
The two of them looked at the scratching hearts, and they were also greedy, so it was better to go back and find a way to get some silver to fight!
The two were just about to turn around, but they were stopped by the people at the gambling house.
"Brother, don't go, you don't have any money, do you? I see you haven't had enough fun, and you've been taking care of our casino these days. How about our gambling house can lend you money and let you turn over the book? ”
Shen Cai's father and son looked at each other, and there was such a good thing? But know that this can be a trap.
Seeing the melancholy of Shen Cai's father and son, the work of the gambling house, and added chips.
"In this way, the first time you borrow silver, our gambling house does not charge interest, how about it?"
Seeing the signs that Shen Cai's father and son were a little loose, the work of the gambling house continued to work hard.
"We're just trying to win over guests, don't think about it, the silver doesn't need interest, as long as it can be repaid within a month, a month is not enough time for your father and son to turn over the book?"
"Okay!" Shen Nengwen was afraid that his father would not agree, so he quickly nodded.
Shen Cai thought about it and gritted his teeth and nodded, he didn't believe that his luck would be so bad.
The gambling house smiled and led Shen Cai's father and son to give ten silver ingots at a time, and Shen Cai's father and son's eyes were straight, and they swallowed their saliva.
"Why are you too little?"
"Not a lot, not a lot."
"A lot of them will sign and draw a pledge, and you can see the contract, it is written in black and white that you will not be charged interest on a copper plate."
At the mention of signing and drawing, Shen Cai's father and son finally realized the seriousness of the problem, you push me, I push yours, push and shove, and finally Shen Zhong signed and pressed his handprint.
Since borrowing this hundred taels of silver, the luck of the father and son has simply reached the sky, and in one day, they not only won back the previous book, but also won dozens of taels more.
The father and son returned the 100 taels of silver in the casino that night, and drew back the money, which went unusually well.
"Little brother, thanks to you!"
"You're welcome, you can support our fortune casino in the future."
"Definitely, definitely."
In the spring planting in May, Shenjia Village is busy, and it is almost a month's time.
Shen Cai's father and son are also busy, sweating profusely with their busy heads, in this month's time, in addition to eating and sleeping, the father and son have almost left all their energy to the Hongyun Gambling House, and the business of the grain store has long been left behind.
'Bang ......' the table was slapped with a straight sound. Shen Cai weighed the silver in his hand, slapped it on the gambling table, his hands were solid, and he didn't know what to mutter.
"Big, big! Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, this must be big. ”
The gambling house work of shaking the stocks, Yu Guang glanced at Shen Cai, who was sweating profusely, and put the stock clock on the gambling table.
The gamblers around the "open ......" are eager to open a pair of see-through eyes, and they will be able to win every gamble, and all eyes are firmly staring at the slowly opening stock clock.
"Little ......"
After the bell opened, some people rejoiced and some cried!
Shen Cai is the one who cried, he had lost all the money on his body, and just wanted to find his son to ask for a copy, Shen Nengwen found it first, and his silver was also lost, so he came to his father to ask for a copy of the silver.
Shen Cai's father and son are divided into two gambling tables, if you don't win, I can still win! The idea was good, and I spent a month happily like this, but today I don't know why, both father and son lost miserably.
"What to do?"
The father and son looked at each other, and it just so happened that the money that had helped them before, had borrowed their money, and the gambling house had passed by them.
Without the slightest hesitation, the father and son offered to borrow money.
"Hey! For the sake of your support for our fortune gambling house, the silver can be lent to you, but this time it will be interested. ”
"Okay."
Shen Cai's father and son agreed in one bite, and they all tacitly thought to themselves, maybe this time it can be like the last time, it will be turned over in a blink of an eye, and the debt can be repaid on the same day, what is the interest?
