A few days later, Chen Pi came to me again, and I excused myself from feeling unwell and never went to the casino again. I want to numb myself with labor. But as soon as I stopped, my mind was full of tangled thoughts. My original worldview clashed with the new ethics, and the question of how to use the way of magic was 'mixed' in it, and I didn't know what was right and what was wrong.

Spells, don't think too mysterious, in other words, a strange power that transcends the current era. It's like in ancient times you mastered the art of the gun. The key question is not how you harness this power, but how you don't abuse it.

I smelled an inexplicable danger, and this uncontrollable force was like a black 'colored' abyss, into which I could slip without paying attention. I'm afraid that if I fall into it, I will fall deeper and deeper, and I can't extricate myself.

I avoid tangerine peel because I want to have a separate space to think about it. Without addressing the problem of worldview, there is no better control of the methodology.

Chen Pi has looked for it a few times, and seeing that I have been shirking, I am not reluctant. Go to the casino and play by yourself. Every time I come back, no matter what kind of 'color' I have, I have to report excitedly, telling me how much I am still from the bride price of 200,000 yuan. He patted his chest and said, San'er, don't worry, I will definitely never gamble again if I earn enough bride price money. What is the plan?

What can I say, I have to say, I can do it myself.

This day the earth fell. I was tired and sweaty and was about to go back to take a shower, when the tangerine peel came. The dead beggar took me to his house. I couldn't help it, so I had to go along. His father has been discharged from the hospital, and the old couple has returned to live at home. When they saw me coming, they greeted me very warmly and asked me to stay and eat. How could I have this appetite, so I quickly shirked it, and then asked what Chen Pi was going to do.

Chen Pi pulled me into his room, reflexively closed the 'door', and asked me to look at the kang.

I was stunned when I saw this, and I saw that the kang was covered with red 'colored' hundred-yuan bills. Chen Pi's eyes lit up: "San'er, I've calculated, as long as there is another big order tomorrow, I can make up the bride price." I'm going early tomorrow morning and I'm going to gamble for the day. Anyway, it's the last day, and I'm going to get his vote. Don't worry, I'll definitely leave your share for you. ”

I waved my hand, and my whole body seemed to be empty. He said weakly, "I don't want to." As long as you're doing well, you remember, don't play after marrying Cuicui home. Having a father, a mother, and a daughter-in-law is better than anything else. ”

Chen Pi scolded: "I found out that you are really fucking grinding, you have caught up with the old ladies in the countryside, chatter, don't worry, I won't play tomorrow with the last ticket." ”

I looked at him to warn him to be cautious, but I didn't say it. Forget it, don't add to the crow's mouth, when the time comes, I will lose money and I will have bad breath.

The next day, the sky was foggy, as if it was raining, and the air was very dull. I only worked for one morning, and I was too lazy to go out in the afternoon, so I spent a lot of days at my eldest brother's house, and I missed life in the city a little. Officer Liao didn't move either, and I guess people have long forgotten about me.

At dinner in the evening, the sky was 'overcast' and cloudy, and sure enough, it was dripping and drizzling. Our family was eating in the hall, the air was very 'cloudy' and cold, I was shivering with cold, and I was about to go back to the house to put on some clothes, when I saw a figure in the dark winter without rain gear, rushing in from the courtyard.

The eldest brother shouted, "Who?" ”

"Me." With the voice, it was tangerine peel that came in, and his whole body was soaked, and his bangs were attached to the 'door' of his brain, with a depressed face, like a lost dog.

The sister-in-law said distressedly: "Chen Pi, what's wrong with you, have you eaten?" Hurry up and sit down, I'll get you a 'wool' towel and wipe your face first. ”

Chen Pi had a bitter face, and forcibly held back his feelings and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I'm here to find San'er for something." ”

"What's wrong?" I put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked in amazement.

Chen Pi pulled me: "You come with me first, it's urgent." ”

My sister-in-law stuffed an umbrella into our hands, and I hurried out of the yard with him. I asked curiously, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"You'll know." Chen Pi pulled me out of the village.

He didn't speak, and strode forward with a heavy heart. Although I was suspicious, I had to follow him because something big should happen to him like this. We left the village and climbed over the hill, and I was stunned when I saw it. We came to the house of Brother Pig, by the dry river.

I had a hunch that something was wrong, so I hurriedly said, "Is there something wrong with Brother Pig?" Are you making the wrong offering? ”

Chen Pi said: "I wrote down all the taboos that Chen 'Yu' and Zhen 'handed over', and I did it every day, and a fool can't do it wrong." Brother Pig God does have a problem, just look at it. ”

When we came to the front of the house, he pushed open the 'door' and motioned for me to enter.

I walked into the house and was shocked. The shrine is empty, the god of Brother Pig has disappeared, other things have not moved, the incense burner offerings and everything are still there, but the statue of Brother Pig God has disappeared inexplicably.

"What's going on?" I asked, horrified.

"Before going to the casino early this morning, I also came to worship once, when the god Pig was still there. When I come back in the evening, I will see that Brother Pig is gone, and there is not even a shadow. Chen Pi said sadly.

"So you lost today?" I asked.

Chen Pi smiled bitterly: "Don't just lose, almost all the money you won a few days ago went in this day." Winning is slow, losing is fucking fast. At first, I was still wondering, how could I lose, I didn't accept this strength, thinking that I definitely couldn't lose with Brother Pig God covering me. Then the more I bet, the more I lost, and then I was in a hurry, and I bet all the money, and I lost it all in one go. After I came back, I came here to check as soon as I could, and when I pushed the 'door', I was dumbfounded, and Brother Pig was gone! ”

I walked up to the shrine, looked at it carefully, and said, "Was the 'door' locked when you left in the morning?" ”

"It's locked. When I came in the evening I found that the lock had been picked. "Chen Pi showed me the lock. This lock is not too big, and it is easy to pry open if you really have to use a tool. I didn't accuse him of why he didn't use a bigger lock, Brother Pig God is hiding here, and he is supposed to prevent a gentleman and not a villain. If you are really worried about the thief, it is useless to take any lock.

"What do you think?" I asked him.

Chen Pi gritted his teeth: "Damn, I want to know who this thief is, I have to dismantle him." Blocking people's money, such as killing parents. Catching this thief, I first opened the bow left and right and slapped twenty large mouths, and then chopped off his ten fingers one by one with a kitchen knife. I'm cǎo fucking! ”

I said, "Chen Pi, don't be ruthless first, I have an idea I want to discuss with you rationally." ”

"You say." He said.

I pondered the sentence and said, "There is an old saying that the small rich are thrifty and the big rich are determined by the sky. If you get money without working and get money from the 'door', you will definitely have to lose money from the right path, make up for it one by one, and the cause and effect will be unpleasant. If you think about your experience, at the beginning, you made money by asking the little ghost, but as a result, your father went to the hospital and was gone. Later, I invited Brother Pig God, and he also made a lot of money, but Brother Pig God let people steal it, and the money he earned was lost again. Didn't you see the problem here? ”

"What do you mean, say it clearly, don't beat around the bush." He wasn't angry.

"I think so, if you steal, you steal, you should quit gambling from now on. This is a kind of fate, it is the will of God, you are destined not to get rich, this is God's warning to you. I said.

Chen Pi glared and was about to say something, but I immediately stopped him from continuing: "Saiong is not a blessing if he loses his horse. The thief who stole the pig god may not end well, and the loss of the pig god is not necessarily an unbearable bad thing. ”

Chen Pi scratched his scalp and looked at me, and suddenly said, "San'er, you tell the truth, did you steal Brother Pig God?" ”

"Damn, what do you mean?" I was stunned.

"You kid is timid and afraid, afraid that if I make more money and something will affect you, you will steal Brother Pig God first, and then make it look like he was stolen. Now he is trying to persuade me to quit gambling. The more I think about it, the more this happens, you kid is 'quite scheming'. Chen Pi said.

I looked at him, turned and left.

Chen Pi grabbed me and yelled: "I didn't say it clearly, where are you going?!" ”

I looked at him, gritted my teeth and said, "People are watching the sky, you can think whatever you like, I have a clear conscience." ”

Chen Pi stopped me: "San'er, whether you took it or not, let me repeat, what am I gambling for?" My tangerine peel is poor, but I can't look down on that money, my original intention is to marry a daughter-in-law, this is not too much, right? I'm thirty years old, and I'm still farming in the village, and I'm stupid every day, and the people in the village call me a wreck, you know? I admit it, who made me so big. My wish is to have the old and the young, the wife and children to have a hot kang head. See, see, see that this last step is missing, and in the end it will be empty, empty! Is this the end of my tangerine peel in my life?! I'm done, you go, you go quickly! ”

Chen Pi's face was pale, he sat at the base of the wall with his head drooped, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and the lighter was not lit several times.

He is really like a dead heart, and the whole person is desperate for life and life.

I can't bear it. Our three best friends in the village, Chen Pi Zhao Leper and I Luo San, bare-ass baby grew up together, now Zhao Leper is dead, only me and Chen Pi, I cherish this friendship in my heart. I know that if I turn around and leave today, Chen Pizhen and I will be the same passers-by from now on, and we will never think about it again.

I walked over and squatted in front of him, pondered for a long time, and said word by word: "I'll help you one last time!" ”
