Chapter 18 Encounter with a gambler at night

Li Er pressed a bag of cigarettes again, and then someone said, "Li Er, you didn't see anything at that time?" ”

Li Er lit the cigarette pouch with a foreign fire (match, at that time, our local dialect here), then blew out the foreign fire rod, took a puff of cigarette, and said slowly: "If it were placed now, I would definitely be able to find that something was wrong, but at that time, I was thinking about gambling, and I had forgotten about those things, and I saw that the fourth child asked me to gamble, so I became addicted to gambling, and said: "Gamble, gamble, just your stinky level, I'm afraid you won't succeed." ”

As he spoke, he took out all the money on his body, put it on the ground, and then picked up the dice and threw it into the bowl, at that time, this dice were closer than my father, and practice makes perfect when playing this, don't look at the fourth and the two unlucky ghosts, play up to the wind, but in front of me, it became a deflated ten, not a few moments, I won half of the money of the fourth, gambling this thing, you can't win it, you can't go if you lose.

The fourth child is becoming more and more addicted, and they all say that feng shui takes turns, and after a while, the situation has changed, and at first I almost won the money in front of the fourth, but slowly, the fourth child's luck improved, and every time I was a little bigger than me, and after a while, I lost all the money back.

When I lost cleanly, the fourth child smiled weirdly at me, and then said: "Li Er, let's be here today, I see that you have also lost cleanly, I still have something, I think we will be like this today, right?" ”

I had already lost red-eyed, and said to the fourth: "Who said I lost cleanly?" Isn't there still clothes? ”

As I spoke, I took off the coat on my body, and I originally wanted to use this coat as a base to win back the money I lost, and that would be fine, but my luck was not good, and I lost only my pants in a few moments.

The fourth child saw that I had only pants left, so he said to me: "Li Er, tell you to forget it today, you don't believe it, look at the pants left, right?" Okay, I'm really in trouble, let's stop betting? ”

I glared at me and said, "No, no." ”

The fourth smiled and said, "Li Er, you won't use your pants as gambling money, right?" Look at your pants, the crotch is almost the same as a dog's gnaw, and no one wants that. ”

I said, "Who bets with you, I bet with you, do you dare?" ”

The fourth said: "That Li Er, don't gamble on this life, if your life is gone, there will be nothing." ”

After saying that, I wrapped the silver in my clothes and was about to leave, I saw that the fourth child was leaving, and I was really anxious now, but I only had a pair of pants left, how to see people when I wanted to go back? Besides, my mother saw that I was left with my pants when I lost, so I had to be angry. So I stretched out my hand and grabbed the fourth child and said, "No, you can't go, I have to gamble with you today." ”

The fourth child was also angry, and said loudly: "Li Er, are you slandering?" Don't ask, who is my fourth child? I'll beat you up. ”

Talking and I started fighting, the fourth because of smoking, the body is very thin, I thought that beating him was like playing, but that day the fourth was particularly strong, I was beaten by him and could not fight back, at this time the fourth punched my nose, at that time a hot flow flowed out, Shandong people can not see blood, I saw the blood, the brain was stunned all of a sudden, wiped the blood with the hand, at that time smeared on the face of the fourth, went up and wanted to fight with the fourth. It may be that the fourth child saw that he broke my nose, he was stupid, and he stood there in a daze, I felt a stone the size of a bowl from the ground, and was about to hit the fourth child's head, and at this moment I suddenly thought. What's wrong with me, I can pay for killing someone, and I still have my wife to feed.

So the stone I lifted didn't fall down, I threw the stone to the ground and said, "Fourth, I won't fight with you today, I won't gamble, and I don't want you to lose money if you have a broken nose, I just need to return my clothes." ”

The fourth brother didn't say anything, I knew he felt guilty, so I picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on, and then said, "I'm sorry Fourth Brother, I'll invite you to drink another day and make amends for your sins." ”

After saying that, I turned around and left, and as I walked, I thought to myself, I was really depressed today, first I met a female ghost, and then I lost only my pants, and finally I was beaten in the nose in the fight. The more I thought about it, the more troublesome I became, patronizing and thinking about things, and slowly went the wrong way, I looked up and saw that I was really depressed and went home, and I actually walked into a mass grave, was I being led by a ghost again? I looked at the mass grave, in this mass grave, some of the coffins were exposed to the ground due to their age, and some of the bones were scattered in the graveyard without knowing whether they were wild dogs or other things, and the moonlight shone gloomily and whitely.

I saw that the scalp here exploded again, tonight it was evil, I encountered these unclean things, the grave is a tight place, I have to hurry up, I thought of these I quickened my pace to the edge of the grave, walking and walking a little wrong, I seemed to be following a person behind me. At first, I thought that the person who followed me must be my soul, and the old people said that when I went out at night, my soul would go out of my body to protect myself.

But as I walked, I realized that something was wrong, there was really someone behind me, and I could feel it, that person looked at my backbone with his eyes, and he looked me cold. I quickly quickened my pace and ran forward, but at that moment, I heard someone say, "Don't run so fast, wait for me." ”

The voice was ethereal, the voice was not at all a human being, I knew that there must be something unclean behind me, so I ran away, but I ran, and the person behind me followed, and when I was about to reach the edge of the village, I really couldn't run, so I held on to the wheat stack, and gasped there, when suddenly a snow-white hand patted my shoulder from behind, and I was like a cat stepping on the tail, and jumped up at once, and I couldn't care about the rumors that I couldn't turn my head. Even if I die, I have to see if there is a human or a ghost behind me.

I turned around and looked, my nose was crooked at that time, it was no one else standing behind me, it was the fourth child who was gambling with me, the fourth child stood there blankly, his face was black and white, the black one needless to say, it was my nosebleed, I looked at the fourth child, sat there with a butt, and then scolded: "The fourth child of the dog day, you are about to scare me to death, people are scared to death, do you know that you are scared to death?" ”

The fourth elder muttered: "Li Er, you get rid of the blood on my face, I have your blood on my face, so I can only follow you." ”

As soon as I heard this, I got up from the ground angrily, and I didn't expect the fourth child to be so careful, isn't it just a little blood on his face? Just wash it yourself, chasing so far, it was just for me to wipe the blood off his face, I was angry, and said: "Fourth, you are trying to slander people, you are a bachelor, and I Li Er is not a four-edged eye, I can slander if I want, I won't wipe it for you today, see how you can drop me." ”

After saying that, I was not afraid, turned around and walked towards my house, I live in the tofu workshop at home, I have to get up early every morning to grind, grind bean juice and order tofu, there used to be a donkey at home, I don't have to do it myself, now it doesn't work, the donkey was lost by my itchy hands for a while. When I got to the house, I turned around and found that the fourth child had actually followed, and he stood there and asked me to help wash the blood off his face.

When I looked at the fourth child's appearance, I was angry, and I thought to myself, aren't you trying to slander me? I'll ask you to do your best, point to the mill and say, "It's okay to wash the blood off your face, but you'll have to grind the beans." ”

When the fourth child heard this, he hurriedly said: "Is this true? ”

I said, "What am I lying to you about?" ”

When the fourth child heard this, he hurriedly grinded the bean juice, I saw the fourth child like this, and I was secretly happy, someone helped me grind, and I could sleep peacefully, so I lay on the bed and fell asleep, when I woke up, it was already dawn, when I got up, my mother had already made the tofu, and my mother said: "Son, is it good to learn this time?" Grinding the bean juice for a long time? ”

I remembered at this time that the bean juice was ground by the fourth child, so I hurriedly asked my mother, and when I saw the fourth child, my mother glared at me and said, "Fourth, fourth, I think you still can't quit gambling." ”

After my mother finished speaking, she scolded me, I saw that my mother was angry, and quickly picked up the tofu picks and ran, I thought that the fourth child left by himself, but I didn't expect the night. The fourth went again. ”
