Chapter 23: The Gambler and the Demon
"Sister, do you really want to return this magic weapon?"
In the night, two streamers, one blue and one white, pierced the sky.
"The other party is gone, I guess I don't care, right? Why chase so far just to return something? Xiaoqing looked puzzled: "Moreover, sister, you have a happy expression?" ”
"You don't understand." The corners of Bai Suzhen's slightly curled mouth quickly converged.
"It's that again." Xiaoqing's face was unhappy: "You think I'm stupid, but in fact, I know everything." ”
"It's an excuse to return the gourd or something, right?" Xiao Qing said: "Otherwise, you won't secretly leave the other party's breath so that you can chase after you all the way." ”
Bai Suzhen's face froze, and she glanced at Xiaoqing unexpectedly.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing immediately smiled: "Sure enough, I said it!" Sister, are you—"
"I'm not! I didn't! Bai Suzhen interrupted Xiaoqing's words in a panic.
Xiaoqing was not affected, and continued to take care of herself: "Do you want to put a long line to catch a big fish?" ”
"How could I be ...... to him Well? Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment: "Put a long line to catch a big fish?" ”
"That's right!" Xiaoqing said excitedly: "Actually, sister, you have long seen that the other party is cultivating the ancient body refining method, so you want to approach the other party under the pretext of repaying the gourd and set out the other party's cultivation method, right?" ”
"......" Bai Suzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said hehe: "Xiaoqing, I didn't expect you to be so smart. ”
"Of course!" Xiaoqing was greatly encouraged: "Don't worry, sister, I will help you!" ”
"No, it's the greatest help for you to get into trouble less."
......
Liang Youcai kicked the door open, swayed and walked towards the room, the candle flame had not been extinguished, and through the dim window paper, he could see the slender shadow in the room.
It was a plainly dressed woman, who was sitting at the head of the bed, holding a piece of clothing and sewing it, when she heard the voice of Liang Youcai coming in, the woman raised her head and showed a smile: "Xianggong, you are back." ”
Liang Youcai snorted out of anger, which was a response, and then frowned, and said, "Supplement, it's making up again, how many times have you mended this clothes?" Where can I wear patches everywhere? Wouldn't it make people laugh at me? ”
"I mended it with the fabric of the hem, and I can't see the patch if I don't look closely." The woman didn't seem to hear Liang Youcai's bad tone, raised the clothes in her hand as if she was invited, and said, "Xianggong, look, is it similar to the new one?" ”
Liang Youcai impatiently snatched his clothes and threw them on the ground: "What does a woman know?" I raise my family outside every day to make money, and you let me wear this thing? ”
He stepped on a few feet unhappily and said angrily: "My reputation as Liang Youcai was ruined by you!" Slut! ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, slowly got up and walked to Liang Youcai's side, squatted down, picked up the clothes on the ground, and said, "Don't be angry, I, I won't make it up." ”
Liang Youcai looked at her coldly, only feeling that the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became, and he said coldly: "Raise your head." ”
The woman slowly raised her head, her face was still delicate, and seeing the anger on Liang Youcai's face, she tried her best to show a flattering smile: "Xianggong, it's not too early, you should rest early-"
Syllable!
A slap slapped the woman's face, and Liang Youcai muttered: "It's a nest, and you get angry when you look at it." ”
Gu Ting
The woman didn't resist, just lowered her head and covered her face, without saying a word, but Liang Youcai didn't let her go, grabbed her hair, and pulled her up from the ground, the woman finally screamed in pain and begged for mercy: "Xianggong, don't fight, I was wrong!" ”
"I, Liang Youcai, have been married to you for eight lifetimes, and I will lose every gamble, and you must be at home every day to beat me!"
Liang Youcai turned a deaf ear to the woman's pleas for mercy, raised his hand to punch and kick, and the woman hugged her head and wailed.
After all, he was weak and drank again, Liang Youcai quickly gasped, he didn't pay attention to the woman, swaggered to the side of the bed, threw away two dirty shoes, and sat down: "Why don't you go to fetch water to wash my feet?" ”
"Yes, Xianggong." The woman got up from the ground tremblingly, and did not bother to pat the dust on her body, so she went to bring a basin to boil water.
"What a natural!"
Liang Youcai couldn't stop scolding: "Even if I Liang Youcai is affectionate, if I were someone else, I would have divorced you a long time ago!" ”
"Tomorrow you go and find a way to get some money for me."
The woman took the basin and whispered, "I, I'll go and discuss with the owner again to see if I can advance a few taels of silver." ”
"How many taels? What about you sending Hanako? Liang Youcai was furious: "At least fifty taels, no, sixty taels, otherwise you won't come back tomorrow!" ”
"Sixty taels!" The woman trembled, and her voice was bitter: "Xianggong, the work of washing clothes for people is only a few taels of silver a month, plus other chores, at most ten taels, where can I find sixty taels." ”
"Go to the dock to carry bags, to pick up dung for people, this Hangzhou City has a lot of work, don't you have a lot of strength? How? Tired? Liang Youcai said unhappily.
"Those living ...... Those jobs are all done by men, and I'm a woman......"
"Do you mean you want me to work?" Liang Youcai's eyes widened, he rolled up directly from the bed, picked up the stinky shoes and threw them at the woman.
"No, it's not!" The woman didn't dare to hide, and let the soles of her shoes smash on her face, "I'm going to do those jobs, it's not good for Xianggong's reputation, and Xianggong will be scolded." ”
"Heh, you care about me." Liang Youcai sneered: "Over the years, hasn't my reputation been ruined by you step by step?" ”
"Pretending to be virtuous and virtuous day by day, this neighbor has been deceived by you, and they all come to scold me Liang Youcai for being a negative man, and scolding me Liang Youcai for not being worthy of you, come, tell me, what point is my Liang Youcai not worthy of you?"
"I didn't ...... Of course, the husband is worthy, don't take the words of others to heart, we live our own lives. The woman said: "It's just these sixty taels, I really can't help it." ”
"No way? How could it not be helped? Liang Youcai's voice was cold: "Aren't you beautiful in your own way?" Your proprietors must have coveted you for a long time. ”
The woman finally looked up sharply, her face full of incredulity: "What do you mean by that?" I...... I'm your wife. ”
"What do you think I mean?" Liang Youcai stared at him coldly: "I only need money, if you can't make money, what's the use of me keeping you?" Put it in the house to restrain me? ”
"You-" The woman had a look of resentment on her face: "Liang Youcai, you are simply not human!" ”
When Liang Youcai heard this, he was so angry that his face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, he rushed forward and slapped his face: "You are also worthy of saying this?" What are you? If it weren't for Lao Tzu, you would have died a long time ago! ”
The woman was scratched all over her face, but she didn't move, staring at Liang Youcai, and her black pupils suddenly turned into golden vertical pupils.
Liang Youcai's body stiffened, and he took a few steps back in a hurry.
"You...... How are you going to do it? Do you dare to kill me? ”
The woman clenched her fists and trembled all over, for a long time, she finally closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her vertical pupils turned black again, she showed a smile and said, "Xianggong, you are drunk, we will talk about money tomorrow, okay?" ”
