Chapter 25: Blacksmith Shrek's Forbidden Gambling Career (Part II)
In addition to his talent and interest in iron, in his spare time at the age of eighteen, after a chance encounter, Shrek also became obsessed with a common entertainment for men - gambling money. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After finishing the work in the blacksmith shop, when he has nothing to do, he likes to go to the casino to play two games, Shrek claims that this is to cultivate sentiment and soothe the body and mind, but there is a problem that cannot be ignored - he is illiterate, and he can't read.
Illiterate and illiterate, but fond of gambling, this cannot be solved from a technical point of view.
So when he first started to participate in gambling, Shrek lost for nine days in a row, and every time he lost, his whole body was clean and slippery, and he couldn't even keep his underwear, so he had to snatch other people's clothes, or grab the tablecloth on the gambling table, wrap it around his waist, and then run home in disgrace, and finally realized that his talent for gambling really can't be compared with iron.
Then one day in the blacksmith's shop, the rough embryo gnawed on the chicken legs and picked his toes, scratched his ears and cheeks, and meditated for a long time with his poor wisdom, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, blessed to the soul, and then patted his head and came up with a solution that he thought was very clever -- every time he entered the door of the casino, he puffed up his breath and shouted loudly, and the sound shook the whole audience -- oh! Little cubs, you dare to play tricks! Dare to cheat your grandfather out of his money...... Let's see how Grandpa cleans you up!
The people in the casino were confused, thinking to themselves why this person had just entered the door and said that others were playing tricks? But he didn't care, he started to grab money after screaming by the neck, relying on his own infinite strength, like a bull, whoever dared to stop him would beat him, stirring up the chickens and dogs in the casino, crying, scolding, and wailing.
What is particularly odious is that this guy is robbing money while still being upright, and he is so righteous that he shouts solemnly - gambling is not good!
After the robbery, Shrek was satisfied, and went home with all his body puffed up, leaving only a messy casino and ransacked gamblers who wanted to cry without tears.
Shrek went home and counted the day's harvest, looking at the white is silver, the yellow is gold, and it is full of piles on his own kang, just today is a day, it is worth several months of income in his store, and he can't help but touch the black and bright bare head, and he is very proud of the genius idea he came up with.
It's just that since then, Shrek seems to be addicted, every day is this way, every day to go to various casinos to concoct the same way, jump into the door and scold the street, saying that others are playing badly, and then scolding and robbing money.
It's not that no one has looked for Shrek's father, Danya City itself is not big, not to mention the small North City, which is full of neighbors, his father called Shrek to him and asked him, "What are you doing here...... The neighbors come to sue every day?"
Shrek looked righteous: "I'm educating them - gambling is not good!"
The old blacksmith couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Gambling is not good...... But you're like a robbery?"
But the old blacksmith couldn't control this son since he was a child, and after several times of dissuasion to no avail, he simply ignored it.
In about half a year, there were only three gambling halls in the north of the city, one of which closed down, and two of which closed down.
The gambling hall in Beicheng is not open, and Shrek, who has taken the rectification of gambling in Beicheng as a great cause, is choked enough, and he came out to catch gambling again this day, and he didn't see a family playing money when he went around, and he was depressed, but he couldn't help but feel very relieved in his heart - hmm...... It seems that the effect is still very significant, and the gambling atmosphere in Beicheng has been severely cracked down by itself, but it looks like it is going to expand its own business area, and the gambling ban cannot be limited to Beicheng......
Shrek was triumphant, and wandered into a relatively remote alley at will, but heard the sound of shouting and shouting and shaking dice from a house next to him, and he couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and the flame of justice in his chest immediately began to burn: "Damn...... It seems that no education will work?!"
Coincidentally, it was no one else who lived in this courtyard, it was the owner of the bankrupt gambling house, and the business was tossed by Shrek and couldn't do it, and he was angry enough, so he fell ill and recuperated at home.
On this day, a group of regulars who usually play in the store came to his house to play and asked him, "Is this really not the business done?"
The owner of the gambling house was also not angry: "What else are you doing...... Didn't Shrek tell us that gambling is not good......! As long as there is this little monster in the day, the casino will not be open!"
Everyone had no choice but to chat, but after all, it was all good, and they wanted to close the door and play at home by themselves, but Shrek couldn't care about it.
So the gamblers closed the doors and windows, closed the curtains, lit a small oil lamp in the house, and for safety reasons, the casino owner also told everyone: "Don't make a noise for a while...... Quietly, summon that plague god enough for us to drink a pot......"
Everyone nodded in agreement, took out the gambling equipment at home and put it on the table, more than 20 people began to play, at first they didn't dare to make a sound, but the more they played, the more fun they became, and the interest came up, so they couldn't manage so much, I don't know if I felt that the voice gradually became louder, and you also shouted and shouted, noisy, and the atmosphere was very warm.
was playing happily, suddenly I heard a "bang", followed by two "knocks", as if it was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and then there was a "bang" sound, the door was knocked open, and a black cloud-like Shrek strode in, with a righteous face, his hands on his waist, and shouted at the gamblers who had been stunned: "Gambling is not good!"
The twenty or so people in the room were all stupid, stunned to look at the righteous Shrek who rushed in like a black whirlwind, and the casino owner looked at the two doors that were kicked in the courtyard, and wanted to cry without tears: "If you don't let you make a sound, you won't listen...... Look what to do now!"
Then he turned to Shrek again, crying and mourning: "Yes...... Be...... We know gambling is bad and we're wrong...... Can't we change it?!Heroes must be merciful, don't tear down my house again......"
Shrek raised his head, snorted heavily in his nose, and waved his big hand impatiently: "No! It's too late, it's too late! Come on...... It's all off, it's all off!"
Everyone looked at each other -- what kind of punishment is this? Why do you have to take off all the money you gamble with?
But who let himself not be able to beat others, there is no way, so I have to take it off, and after a while, more than two dozen gamblers are naked, standing there naked, all covering their lower bodies, with a look of indignation.
Shrek picked up a robe, scavenged the money on the table and in everyone's clothes, tied it tightly in the robe, and put it in his arms, then tied everyone's clothes together, carried it behind him, and ran out like a gust of wind.
The gamblers immediately became anxious when they saw it - what kind of thing is this, the money will be given to you, anyway, it is not once or twice that we have been robbed, we are used to it, but we can't go home so naked by snatching our clothes, hurry up and chase it!
So, the gamblers hurriedly took the sheets, and the quilts were draped, and a few of them tore down the curtains and tore their jaws, and went around their waists, and then chased them out.
Shrek was laughing and running in front, and more than two dozen gamblers were chasing after him with curtains, quilts or sheets, shouting and screaming, so this was the scene in the previous article just now.
