I thought about the feeling described by the scissors for a moment, and couldn't help but nod my head—and then I asked with some curiosity, "Since you are a card player, why did you change careers and start playing with hammers and sickles?" ”

Scissors smiled. "When I first started playing cards, I thought a few minutes was a life, and I could fall from the highest to the lowest and back to the highest in ten minutes. It's so overwhelming and refreshing. But then, I gradually got a little impatient, and felt that these ten minutes were a bit long. So I aimed at the sickle, the awl, the red flag. Two or three seconds to determine the winner, very fast, very exciting. ”

I nodded and said with a smile: "After playing for a long time, the taste is a little heavy." ”

Scissors laughed and said, "That's pretty much it. Dude, you're a smart guy too. ”

He took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "So, people who are really addicted to gambling will eventually end up in this industry." Whether he used to play poker, mahjong, or guess odds and evens. It's been a long time. will feel that it is not enough. ”

Then, he shook his hand and asked, "Brother, are you still coming?" ”

I said, "Come, of course." "I glanced at the money at my feet. It's estimated to be almost 100,000. If you win all the money around the scissors, you can make up for yesterday's shortfall.

The two of us shouted in unison, "Scythe...... Hammer...... Red flag! ”

We shouted as loudly as we could, as if whoever had the loudest voice would win.

I don't know why, after the scissors smoked, with God's help, I won more than a dozen in a row, and won all the money under my feet. Along with the 1,000 yuan that my boss gave me, it was also lost.

Scissors smiled at this time, and he said to me: "Brother, I see that you talk extraordinary, you should be educated, right?" ”

I nodded and said, "Went to college." ”

The scissors touched the sweat on his face and shouted to the thin old seven: "Old seven, bring us two bottles of beer." ”

That's when I found out. Skinny Lao Qi not only provides the venue, but also the diet. This kid sells beer in the graveyard. It's also unique.

The scissors handed me the beer, and I took a sip, and my brain was suddenly cool. I was upset and irritable when I lost money just now, and I felt a lot better when I was pressed by beer like this.

Scissors sat on the ground with his back against a tombstone who didn't know whose it was. He smiled and said, "Brother, I have a good conversation with you, I might as well tell you a trick." If you lose money, you lose hard. Stop for a break or change positions. Maybe the God of Wealth will come to you. You see I just smoked a cigarette, isn't it much better? ”

I thought to myself, "Yesterday's hammer and today's scissors were taught by a teacher, right?" Why do these two say exactly the same thing? It looks like the hammer must have been here at some point. ”

Scissors put the bottle down and asked me, "Are you still here?" ”

I said, "I've lost all my money to you, and of course I'm going to have to turn it over." ”

At this time, the boss suddenly came over, and he said with a sad face: "Master Zhao, I lost everything." Let's go. ”

I said, "I've lost it too, but I'm ready to turn it over." ”

The boss tugged at me and said, "Let's go." If you want to mix in this business, remember one truth, that is, don't borrow money. It doesn't matter how much you lose, you can come back after you earn money. You lost it all today, which means that the God of Wealth doesn't take care of you today, you don't have to borrow, you have to lose if you borrow, and when the time comes, you sell your house and land, hurt your vitality, and your life will be over. ”

He persuaded bitterly: "Master Zhao, I've been gambling for so long, I've already seen through it, you can't play anymore today, if you continue to play, you have to do something." ”

The boss's words made sense, but I thought about it and said, "That's a little wrong with you." When the hammer came to me last night, I was penniless, didn't I win a hundred thousand in the end and left? ”

The boss sighed and said, "He's an outlaw, and he's desperate anyway, what's the point of borrowing more money?" You're different, you still have a family business. ”

I waved my hand and said, "If you want to go, go now." I'll play a little longer. ”

The boss persuaded me for a while, but when he saw that I still didn't listen, he sighed and said, "You are a master, and you are friends with gods and ghosts, I hope they will bless you." ”

Then, dejectedly, he walked away.

Scissors asked me, "That's your neighbor?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, my neighbor." I stood up and said, "Let's switch places, maybe the God of Wealth is on your side." ”

Scissors muttered: "If you have a neighbor, you can do it, so I dare to borrow money." ”

I played a few more games with the scissors, winning and losing, and he held a piece of paper, sometimes keeping accounts, sometimes crossing off my debts.

I don't know how long I played, but the scissors suddenly stopped moving.

I looked up in surprise and said, "Dude, why don't you start?" Let's move on with the sickle and hammer. ”

Scissors' expression was a little weird, he seemed to be smiling, and he looked at me sympathetically, and said, "Brother, stop playing, you already owe me 500,000." ”

My mind was pounding. Sitting on the ground. The wind blew in the graveyard. I was chilled all over, the shouting around me was getting farther and farther away, and I felt like I had been abandoned by the world.

Only the scissors were still holding me, and they whispered in my ear, "Brother, put a fingerprint on the IOU." "The voice was in my ears, but it sounded far away.

My mind couldn't even react: "Fingerprints? What mudra to press? ”

Immediately after, I felt a pain in my fingertips. I came back to my senses and found that the scissors had bitten my fingertips and pressed against a piece of paper.

A bloody handprint in the red seems to have judged my life.

The scissors folded the piece of paper, put it in his arms, and said, "Brother, hurry up and prepare the money." The rules of our business, I'll give you three days. ”

I panicked and muttered, "How could I lose so quickly?" Half a million, how is it possible? ”

Scissors said, "Brother, are you confused?" Let's talk about it just now. Five hundred in one game is too slow, and it has been changed to ten thousand in one game. You were in a hurry to get back to your original capital, so you happily agreed. "Round the ditch.

I grabbed him by the collar and said, "Lend me more money, and I'll play a little longer." ”

At this time, I don't need to look in the mirror, I know it myself. I'm sure I'm now bruised and hideous, and it's ugly to the extreme.

However, Scissors shook his head, and he said, "Brother, it's not that I don't help you. Our rules here, if you owe 500,000, no one will lend you any more. ”

He patted me on the shoulder and comforted, "You don't have to be upset. I also once owed more than 500,000 to others. Later, I worked here and there and earned a thousand yuan. and made a fortune on this thousand yuan. Don't be discouraged, brother. ”

It seemed like two people were pulling me up. Then I couldn't help but stagger outside.

I regret it in my heart, it's good now, needless to say that I bought a house in Huaicheng and brought my parents back. Even the house in my hometown may have to be sold.

The moonlight shines on the country road, which is quiet. Behind me was a firelight, a human voice, very noisy, like a lively human world. In front of him, there is a quiet darkness.

I walked on the path as if I was walking on Huangquan Road.

I wandered like this for a while, and the bustle behind me gradually faded away.

Suddenly, I heard a voice in my heart: "Have you lost everything, and there is only one life left?" ”

I asked myself, "yes, I've lost all of them, and I only have one life left." ”

The voice said, "When the morning comes, how will you face your relatives and friends?" How to deal with parents? ”

I replied in a trance: "Yes, how can I face my relatives and friends?" How to deal with parents? ”

The voice said, "Come in, come in, it's all settled, there's something good here." ”

When I looked up, I saw a wall in front of me, and a round window in the wall, which was full of gold, silver, and jewels.

The voice said, "Come in." Only ingots, so as to pay off debts. ”

I happily poked my head into the window: "With this, I can pay off my debts, great." ”

However, I just stuck my head in. Suddenly the silver and gold in it were gone. That wall is gone, too. The window began to shrink sharply, slamming around my neck, and then it lifted upwards and dragged me off the ground.

I was shocked and came back to my senses: it's over, this is the hanged ghost looking for a stand-in
