Chapter 39: Voluntary Surrender

If something happens to Huang Han today. The consequences are really hard to say.

Thinking of this, Fat Xu hurriedly raised his hand to Huang Han. "Ahh Huang Han. I think, let's forget this bet! Otherwise, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to your father! ”

Our Xu Gongzi doesn't look good, but his brain is still smart, he doesn't say that he is afraid that after the accident, the government will take the opportunity to find his family's stubble, but he said that it is not good to explain to Huang Han and his father. What a selfless way to say this.

"Young Master Xu, didn't we just say it?" Huang Han didn't understand why Xu Shichang just listened to Yu Ren's two or three sentences, and immediately changed his mind. Of course, he didn't understand the underlying reason. But he was unwilling to give up the only opportunity in front of him to settle the ten taels of silver foreign debt that his father had on his back.

"I was also impulsive. Now that I think about it, this kind of thing must still be too dangerous. If there is a mistake, it is a matter of human life. I'm thinking about you too. Xu Fatzi changed his smiling face, and his tone no longer had the arrogance of Fang Cai.

"I promise it's okay. There are so many folks here, I'll let everyone testify. If there is an accident, it will be borne by me Huang Han alone, and Xu Gongzi will never be implicated. That way, you can rest assured! Huang Han said eagerly.

Xu Fatzi didn't expect that now he wanted to cancel the gambling contract, but Huang Han didn't agree. However, he must not be stupid after all, and he soon figured out the key to this. So, Xu Fatzi said to Huang Han kindly, "I know, you have to stick to this bet because you can't pay back my ten taels of silver." So be it! The ten taels of silver that your father owes me will be regarded as my sponsorship for your family, and you don't have to pay it back. ”

After speaking, Xu Fatzi immediately took out an IOU from his arms and tore it up in front of everyone.

"In this way, you should be relieved!"

Huang Han really didn't expect this fat man Xu to be so kind today, although the Xu family is not the kind of gentry who oppress the township, but he has never heard of any good deeds in their family. Huang Han didn't understand for a while, why this fat man Xu suddenly waived his own arrears.

Where would he have thought that Xu Shichang was afraid that the government would take advantage of this matter to make trouble for their Xu family, so he had to give him ten taels of silver for nothing.

Seeing that Huang Han hadn't spoken, Xu Fatzi couldn't help but feel anxious.

At this time, Yu Ren on the side spoke again. "Master Xu, in my opinion. It's your fault. Think about it. Although you forgave the Huang family's debt of ten taels of silver. But this is only ten taels, what did you two originally agree on?

If Huang Han wins, you have to pay him a hundred taels!

Now if you want to cancel the bet, you will be surrendering. There is a saying in the casino: surrender and lose half! That means that you should pay another fifty taels of silver to Huang Han, that's right! Everyone said yes! ”

Most of these onlookers are similar to Huang Han, the middle and lower classes of society whose family background is not very good, and they are naturally willing to help Huang Han speak. As a result, everyone unanimously agreed with Yu Ren's statement.

At this time, Xu Fatzi had no way to argue if he wanted to. He has the heart to let this Huang Han try it seriously! I was afraid that if there was a real explosion, Huang Han would be killed. Then his Xu family is only afraid that the trouble behind will be even greater. It was a risk he would never dare to take.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Fatzi was still ruthless, gritted his teeth and took out fifty taels of silver from a family's back and handed it to Huang Han. Then he turned around and walked away.

At this point, Xu Fatzi realized that this Yu Ren was actually still talking to Huang Han and them. However, if he hadn't reminded him today, he might have really caused a big disaster to the Xu family. From this point of view, it seems that he should not hold a grudge against this Yu Ren.

However, the fifty taels of silver that were spent in white flowers were obviously taken away by this guy's words! This is the private money he has saved for more than half a year, and Xu Pang is really distressed.

Huang Han was simply confused by the sudden change in front of him. He hadn't figured out why Xu Shichang wanted to give him fifty taels of silver, but the fat man Xu had already left the silver and ran away. As if he was afraid that Huang Han would be entangled behind his ass.

"What? This ......" Huang Han looked at the fifty taels of silver in his hand, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Xu Fatzi admitted defeat. The fifty taels of silver are yours now. Yu Ren reminded Huang Han on the side.

The thin young man who was reluctant to light the fire also ran up happily at this time. "Great, Fourth Brother. Now, we don't have to worry about silver. ”

Huang Han still seemed a little incredulous. He held the two large silver nuggets in his hand and asked Yu Ren. "Is this money really mine?"

"Of course, this is what you won back openly! All the folks here can testify for you! Yu Ren patted Huang Han's shoulder firmly and said.

At this time, there were many people in the crowd who echoed it. Huang Han was a little relieved at this time.

"However, although you have received the money now, your performance has not yet been shown to us!" Yu Ren reminded.

"Childe, didn't you say that it was dangerous to sit on it like this and light a fire?" Cao An asked puzzled.

"Yes! It's dangerous! ”

"Then, why do you still want Huang Han to perform?" Cao An's voice was noticeably quieter this time.

"I only said that I would let Brother Huang perform and send this chair to the sky and show it to us, but I didn't say that I would let him sit on the chair! In fact, we could have found a stone that weighed about the same weight as a human and tied it to it. In this way, it can be verified whether these four fireworks can send people and chairs to the sky without worrying about danger, isn't it a double win? ”

After speaking, Yu Ren asked the crowd of onlookers who had not dispersed, "Do you want to see it?" ”

"I want to ......" replied to him with a different number of voices.

"How? Is there confidence? Only then did Yu Ren turn to Huang Handao again.

Huang Han was originally very confident in his flying plan, but since he met Yu Ren, he felt that this confidence was gone. Instinctive instinct told him. This scholar, who was only two or three years older than him, who stood in front of him, definitely had more experience than himself in this regard.

Therefore, when Huang Han heard Yu Ren's question at this time, he just threw down a sentence, "Let's try it!" ”

So he and Huang Wu moved two big stones, and asked people to get some ropes to tie to the chair surface.

Yu Ren looked at the two teenagers in front of him very patiently, constantly busy. Although he remained calm on the surface, inside, Yu Ren was excited. He was expecting, expecting a miracle. In his mind, he was even thinking about whether he could make a rocket with a certain thrust and send people and things into space under the scientific and technological conditions of the current era.

While Yu Ren was daydreaming, Huang Han and Huang Wu had already finished everything. At this time, Huang Han had already raised the torch in his hand. "Excuse me, folks, to step back. Just in case. ”

When everyone heard this, they huraled back a few feet. Only then did Yu Ren come to his senses and hurriedly retreated to the edge of the crowd.

saw Huang Han quickly lit four fireworks in succession, and then he also retreated to the edge of the crowd.

Everyone waited with bated breath for about half a minute, when suddenly a loud bang was heard, followed by three loud bangs. The crowd screamed and fled after this loud bang.

Yu Ren didn't escape, he pushed down Cao An beside him. The two of them fell to the ground together.

After Yu Ren lay on the ground, he hurriedly looked up to see the scene. I saw that the wooden chair had lost its legs, and four rockets like big fireworks were rushing straight into the sky. However, he saw no sign of the bound stone.

Yu Ren hurriedly lowered his head and looked around, only to see that the big stone that had been placed on the chair surface was still firmly tied to the chair without moving. However, at this time, the chair surface has been completely separated from its four legs, and its four legs rise to the sky, but it is still lying quietly on the grass, as if all this performance has nothing to do with it.

The people who had already fled turned their heads again when they saw that it was all right. Just when everyone stopped to watch the four fireworks in the sky, suddenly four loud noises came from mid-air. The four rockets, which had flown more than 20 zhang high, suddenly accelerated upwards and flew away, and after a while, they turned into four small black dots, and soon disappeared.
