Chapter 61: The King of Gambling Jade
"Don't worry, Brother Feng, sit down and speak slowly!" I hurriedly asked Brother Feng to sit on the stone bench on the side of the road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Hey, it's hard to put into words. My father retired the year before last and was a full-duty repairman for a bus company before he retired. However, since his retirement, he has been obsessed with gambling jade. In the first year, he lost all his family's money, and he still owed a lot of debts to others. The family persuaded him to let him enjoy his old age in peace, see his grandchildren, and raise flowers. But he was just not convinced, not saying that he would definitely make a fortune. Later, there was an atmosphere in the house, and my dad didn't look back. Brother Feng couldn't stop shaking his head as he spoke, with a helpless expression.
"And then? Didn't your father gamble on jade? Guan Xiaomeng asked.
"Is he?" Brother Feng looked at me suspiciously and asked Guan Xiaomeng.
"Oh, it's okay, he's my good buddy, he's very reliable, don't worry!"
"Oh, then my father ran away from home, saying that he was going to go to the mountains and old forests to apprentice, saying that there was a master there who could do anything. Then he disappeared for two weeks and then came back in disgrace. We thought that my father must have hit a wall, and he would not mention gambling on jade in the future. Who knows, hey, after my father came back, he directly mortgaged the family's old house, and went to Yuchang with the 600,000 yuan of the mortgaged house. My mom was also seriously ill because of this, but she couldn't stop him, and my dad went anyway. ā
"And then?" I hurriedly asked.
"I didn't expect my father to come back a week later. also brought us back a big bag of money, excluding the 600,000 yuan for the mortgaged house, and made a net profit of 1.2 million. ā
"How good is that, then did your father just stop doing it?" Guan Xiaomeng's eyes lit up.
"No, my father is gambling more and more, and he is bringing more and more money to the house. Later, we changed to a big house, bought a new car, and we became rich overnight. Brother Feng didn't have so much joy on his face when he said it, but with a face full of worry.
"That's great, it means that your father must have met a master outside the world, and that master taught your father Xiangyu's unique skills. That's why your father wins every gamble, and your family has met a nobleman. I said.
"At first, I thought the same as you, but later, as my father became more and more powerful in gambling, our family's savings became more and more. To tell you the truth, at the most, our family's savings reached almost 100 million. ā
"No, there's a billionaire sitting in front of us!" Guan Xiaomeng's eyes lit up and said incredulously.
"Little brother, don't be sarcastic about me, those deposits are just bank numbers for our family, and no one dares to touch them." Brother Feng said bitterly.
"Bank numbers? Why don't you dare to move? Will taking the money bite or what? I asked curiously.
Brother Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly how it is, anyway, every time we move that money, there will be an accident in the family, and after a few times, none of us dare to use that money again." Brother Feng said helplessly, "And some terrible things happen frequently at home." ā
"Something terrible?"
"Yes, in the middle of the night, the switch will turn on and off inexplicably, and the kitchen will tinkle as if someone is cooking. A scarier one, you know? Saying this, Brother Feng looked around cautiously, with a sad face.
"What's wrong?" Guan Xiaomeng is more curious than me.
"One night, I got up in the middle of the night to drink water and saw that the kitchen lights were not turned off. I tried to turn off the lights, but I saw my father kneeling in the kitchen, with an incense burner on the floor, and he didn't know what he was talking about. But suddenly the censer exploded, and then a non-human thing floated out, roaring madly at my father. My father knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, saying something about a month of grace or something. Brother Feng's expression was unusually solemn when he said this.
"Something that doesn't have a human or a ghost? What does it look like? ā
"I didn't dare to look closely, but I felt that the thing's face was covered by long hair, as if it were a clothes rack with a large red robe hanging on it, floating leisurely in the air. It was scary, but strangely enough, my father was not very surprised, and he was not too scared. When Brother Feng spoke, he stopped talking.
"Do you suspect that your father and the female ghost know each other?" I asked.
"Well, I had that idea at the time, but then I thought about it and it wasn't likely. My father had been honest all his life, and it was impossible to provoke such an unclean thing. ā
"Could it be that your father was controlled by that demon?" Guan Xiaomeng asked first.
"No, my father is very normal on weekdays, he cares about us very much, and he has never done anything harmful." Brother Feng hurriedly denied it.
"And what do you want me to do now?" I asked Brother Feng directly.
"I want you to help me get that female ghost out." Brother Feng said anxiously.
"I'll tell you the truth, I don't want to lie to you, I don't know how to exorcise demons at all. I suggest you go and ask the master to help you, I really, I can't! "I was embarrassed to say to Brother Feng.
"To tell you the truth, it's not like I didn't invite masters, but my father kicked them out. Don't let them in and say there's nothing wrong with our house. Once again, while my father was not at home, I secretly invited the master to my house. The master was at home, but in the middle of the way my father suddenly came back, scolded me, and drove the master away. So, I didn't dare to look for it from then on. I thought maybe it would be fine after a while, and I didn't care about it anymore. But recently I've found out that things are getting more serious. ā
"What? Do you see your father and the ghost again? ā
"No, and my daughter, every night, said to wait for an aunt to play games with her. She also said that the aunt gave her a gift, and then my daughter gave me an object that almost didn't scare the two of us to death. As he spoke, Brother Feng fumbled in his pocket.
I'm curious what kind of thing it could be that would scare Brother Feng like this.
I saw Brother Feng take out something wrapped in red paper from his bag, and then opened it tremblingly and handed it to me.
I took it curiously, and it was a spherical thing. The size is only the size of an apple, heavy in the hand, smooth on the outside, and there seem to be some patterns on the inside. Isn't it just an ordinary ball? What's there to be afraid of?
"It's not that I'm too talkative, isn't this just a bouncing ball? What's so scary? Guan Xiaomeng also asked curiously.
"Little brother, you don't know, my daughter said that it will turn into a doll at night and play with her, but it's magical. I didn't believe it at first, but one night my mother and I secretly lay down at my daughter's door to watch, and I couldn't see it, my daughter was talking and laughing with this ball like a demon, jumping and jumping. ā
Looking at Brother Feng with a worried face, I had an ominous premonition in my heart.
