Chapter 112: Participating in the bet
From the time he was sensible until he was in his 20s, he had never had contact with a woman outside, not even the superficial contact of pulling hands.
Besides, the women outside looked at him with strange eyes, maybe they thought that he was a monster with long hair, and it was too late to dodge, where would they dare to touch him?
If you can't control yourself and forcibly touch it, it will not only be immoral, but it will also be regarded as sexual disturbance or hooliganism, which will cause serious trouble and cannot be committed. Although he has many worries and is cautious, it does not affect his subconscious longing and desire for strangeness.
So when he was sister-in-law, the first woman who was even a had a good impression of him, and he looked forward to having an ambiguous relationship with her very much.
Isn't it? At this time, on the way back, he remembered what his sister-in-law said next time he would pick watermelons and eat them. This made him no longer in the mood to look for a woman with the surname Huang. Besides, I can't be sure that I can find it, even if I find it in the southeast, I know if it's the woman surnamed Huang who has a fate with him as Xiangshi said?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a non-existent thing, so he naturally retreated, planning to go back to the city and step on the rickshaw for a few days to earn some money to buy some gifts for Sister-in-law Wang, whether it was to return the relationship or consolidate the relationship, he really wanted to see Sister-in-law Wang next time.
Returning to the city, Ma Huangmao walked to North Street, ready to go to a rented house in a secluded place to get the rickshaw out, and run a few business trips in the night market, but at the entrance of the alley, he found many people around a wooden table betting on treasure, and he also got closer to see the excitement.
Unexpectedly, a fat man lost all his money, and found that there was a yellow-haired horse standing next to him, because he didn't know his name, he shouted at him, yellow-haired man, you bet on it, maybe you will win.
Ma Huangmao only had 10 copper coins given by Wang's sister-in-law. I thought: If I lose, I'm sorry for Sister-in-law. And he said, I will not bet.
A tall man who won a lot of money smiled and persuaded him, yellow-haired man, if you win money, it's good.
Ma Huangmao asked what a good way to do it, and the tall man said that he could go to the Qinglou to pick the most eye-catching girl to be happy and happy.
What if I lose?
Will it be that easy to lose? Look like a weirdo, maybe you'll win more money with good luck! Besides, it is rare to fight a few times in life, if you don't fight, how do you know if you will lose or win?
Listening to the tall man's words, Ma Huangmao's heart was itchy, and he took out the 10 copper coins on his body and said, I just have so much money, continue to work if I win, leave if I lose, and gamble on it.
The fat man said, the yellow-haired man is good, if you win a lot of money, you can take me to the Qinglou to have a romantic time.
It's not clear yet. Ma Huangmao said as he touched the blanket tied around his waist to hold money, as if he wanted to touch the joy of wealth on his hands.
The tall man happily threw a copper coin in his hand, and then said to Ma Huangmao on the other side of the table, the yellow-haired man can open a bet!
Whatever! Ma Huangmao replied, and found that the onlookers were staring at him, he was a little nervous, pulled the fat man next to him and said, you still come, I will lend you the 10 copper coins, if you win, return it to me......
If I lose, I won't pay it back. The fat man interrupted him and said, you still bet on yourself, I have bad luck, and I lost a hundred dollars just now.
Then I'll do it! Ma Huangmao mustered up the courage to say to the tall man waiting there, open the charge!
Yellow-haired man, are you betting on green, or are you betting on hemp? A dealer with a copper coin in his hands asked Ma Huangmao, and asked the tall man in the same way.
They all answered separately, as a result, the dealer skillfully rotated the copper coin on the table for about 10 seconds before stopping, and it was Ma Huangmao who said that the green side, a note is 10 hanging copper coins, and the tall man who lost saw the onlookers keep cheering for the yellow-haired people, and felt very uncomfortable, but he gambled on face and said, betting on winning or losing is a common thing, and then a plate.
As a result, 9 notes were opened in a row, and the tall man lost 9 notes in a row, that is, he lost 100 copper coins to the yellow-haired man.
At this time, it was also dark, and the wind rose at the entrance of the alley, and the flames of the lit candles floated and were easy to blow out. The tall man who lost so much money also talked less, and his face turned from blue to white, which was a little ugly.
At this moment he suddenly stood up and said, "Don't bet." The dealer gave him a look, which means that you lost so much money, and if you don't take it back, won't you be able to give a strange yellow-haired person? The tall man will say, "I'm not going to be detained here, I'm going to go home and detain me."
I'll be with you to the end. Ma Huangmao said calmly, and then touched the heavy blanket with the copper coin, but his heart was not very steady, he was worried that his luck would not work if he changed the place of betting, and if he didn't, he might lose all the money he won. He subconsciously rubbed the blanket with his hand again and again, hoping to get more wealth.
The tall man's house was on the north side of the alley, and the dealer moved the betting table into his house and placed it in the middle, and the onlookers followed.
The tall man still sits opposite Ma Huangmao, but the tall man's butt is facing the front door of the hall, and Ma Huangmao's butt is facing the back door of the hall.
Ma Huangmao just sat down, felt that there was a urge to urinate, so he was instructed to go out from the back door to relieve his hands, the thatched toilet is a slope house next to the main house behind the house, outside the slope house is a city wall, outside the city wall is a moat.
From the inside of the city to the outside of the city, when you get here, you have to pass through the north gate, perhaps because of the past war, the big wooden gate of the north gate has been removed, and the new gate has not been installed, so that the north gate without the big wooden gate leads to the outside of the city, like a thick city wall to make an unobstructed hole.
At that moment, Ma Huangmao did not go into the toilet to pee, but went around to a vegetable field, looked up at the stars, listened to the pine waves, and after finishing the matter, he also looked at the fishing fire on the moat outside the north gate.
Before he entered the house, he stepped on the gravel and rubble under his feet, which seemed to remind him of something, and he suddenly had a thought, and immediately grabbed some of the gravel and rubble and put it in the eye, and then quickly returned to the hall to continue the bet.
Ma Huangmao lost a bet on the table, which was 10 copper coins, and the tall man came to the spirit, hoping to win back all the money he had lost at the entrance of the alley, and shouted loudly, and opened another plate, and the onlookers also cheered for him.
But from the second note, Ma Huangmao won every game, in order to win more, he took the won copper coins and kept sticking to his body left and right to scratch, hoping that the wealth would be more prosperous.
In the past two hours, the tall man lost all the copper coins in half of his family, and his face turned purple with anger.
At first, Ma Huangmao won a few bets, and the onlookers also cheered him, and then he won again, and when he saw the tall man's face, he didn't dare to cheer for Ma Huangmao, and he was silent, only to hear the sound of the dealer spinning the copper coin.
The tall man who had lost badly enough and refused to admit defeat was about to instruct his family to take the copper coins of the second drawer and continue to open the mortgage, when Ma Huangmao suddenly stood up and said, I want to release my hand.
When he noticed that the tall man was staring at him with hatred, he put the blanket full of copper coins on the table, and said, "I will put my things here and come at once."
Ma Huangmao just went out from the back door, the dealer took a look, pointed to the open back door and said to the tall man, you sit in a good position, block the front door, so that the wealth does not flow out, but do you know? The back door was not closed, so the light was lost, and the wealth flowed away through the back door.
It doesn't matter, when the yellow-haired man comes, I'll close the back door immediately. The tall man glanced at the dealer and was a little strange that he didn't say it earlier, allowing himself to lose so much money.
The dealer will also look at the eyes and block back with the words, but I didn't see it at first, and I didn't care that the back door was not closed. However, it doesn't matter, the yellow-haired man's coat with copper coins is still on the table, and after a while, as soon as you close the back door, the wealth will linger in the house, and the yellow-haired man's money will be lost, and even the copper coins he only has 10 hanging books will be lost to you.
Thanks to the bookmaker's good words. The tall man's angry purple face slowly relaxed, and a slight smile bloomed.
He said to the fat man who had been watching at the betting table, go and see, why hasn't the yellow-haired man come back when he goes to relieve himself?
The fat man hesitated for a moment, looked at the bulging blanket and said, what's the hurry? The yellow-haired man will come, and all the money he wins is here.
You'd better go check it out. The tall man raised his voice and said arrogantly, whether I win or lose tonight, the yellow-haired man will not want to take away a copper coin from me.
Okay, I'll go, I'll go. The fat man turned and walked towards the back door.
Tomorrow, when you are free, you want to play with women in the Qinglou, and I will reward you with some money. The tall man reassured him with words. When he said this, he didn't know if the fat man cared about it.
Suddenly, I heard the fat man's shout - yellow-haired man, why can't you come out yet? Did you fall into the latrine?
