Chapter 164: There is no fairness in the rivers and lakes
Professional beggars have existed from ancient times to the present day.
However, the law is now sound.
For two thousand years, there were a large number of professional beggars at railway stations and long-distance bus stations.
However, now, especially after 2008, professional beggars have disappeared seemingly overnight.
Wen Yao is just some people, pretending to be pitiful, kneeling on the ground, spreading a piece of paper in front of them, writing their own suffering, winning people's sympathy, and well-wishers come up with some money.
Every time you see it, there's some money in the bowl or box in front of him, but not much.
The maximum is not more than thirty dollars.
It's all change.
In fact, there are many people who give alms, and every time there is a lot of money, professional beggars will collect the money, which is a considerable income, and beggars who rely on literature to earn money are much faster than normal work.
It's often a shot to change places.
Work for a few years, buy a house and a car, and live a well-off life.
Wu Yao is like those children who ask for food at the train station, as long as they find the target, hug their thighs, or even rob them, this is Wu Yao. Many of the children were either abducted or bought, and many were disabled.
These disabled children are not abandoned by their parents, but abducted and tortured to become disabled.
Behind the children is an organization that breaks the children's hands and feet, makes all sorts of shapes, and uses them to scam money.
This is Wu Yao.
If it's you, it's also very difficult to get caught up in the pants by a disabled child.
They have a lot of strength, and if they don't get enough money, they will only be beaten when they go back.
And the current erhu old man is Wen Yao.
But for people like him, even if someone gives money, they won't even say thank you, unless they meet a peer or a Jianghu person.
I walked back and looked at the old man.
He also looked up at me, and with his hand he reached to the bottom of the bowl and put the two hundred dollars away, put them in his pocket, and said, "As a friend, but also a friend, how can you throw off your sleeves with wealth around your waist." ”
I couldn't help but wonder.
He's saying that I walked ahead of him and gave money, and that was a friend, and I was a rich man.
It means that I don't want to let me go!
It turned out to be a military dignitary.
I smiled, "Senior, although they are friends, they have no friends." ”
He put away the erhu, "Anyway, you can't leave without taking the money, if you listen to my song and give the money, you are a Jianghu person." My songs aren't free. ”
I straightened my face and said, "You can't get the money, so it's hard." Give you two hundred to give you a meal, and if it's too little, spit out the money to me. After saying that, I turned around and left, the last thing I wanted was to have a fight with this kind of food.
What is it!
It's almost a coffin, and the child is still learning to pull the thighs.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of metal pumping from behind me, and I jerked my head back, quickly shaking the dagger out and holding it in my hand.
A short thorn hidden in the neck of the erhu pierced my back, and I swung my dagger to block the blade.
The old man already has the heart to kill me this time!
I was furious.
Obviously kind, but he wants to kill me!
He's not as simple as asking for food!
I quickly took two steps back and distanced myself from him, leaving plenty of time to react, "Who the hell are you?" Why kill me? ”
The old man said coldly: "Huangkou Xiaoer, your kung fu is good." I really underestimate you, if it were someone else, I would have pierced through it a long time ago. If you meet me, you are unlucky. I'm not asking for food. ”
I nodded, "I can see, you're not asking for food, you're here to find fault." ”
"That's smart!"
"Why did you kill me, who sent you?"
"Boy, do you think I'll answer your question? Since I dare to block you here, I guarantee that you won't be able to leave today, do you buy your life with money, or let me abolish you. I know you're a little boss, if you don't take money, I'll chop off your hands! ”
I shook my hand suddenly.
Three steel cards are thrown.
The old man's face was fearless, and there was even a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that the steel card was about to pierce his chest, he suddenly turned to one side, grabbed it casually, pinched the steel card with his thumb and index finger, rolled over, kicked the steel card, the steel card changed direction, plunged into the tree, and the last card, the moment he landed, he actually held it with his mouth.
I was dumbfounded.
These successive movements, in one go, are like flowing water.
However, I can still see the kick of the card.
At that time, after Nanfeng and I had just gotten the purple head, the man who went to Hengtong Baoxing to snatch the urn and injured Nanfeng.
Unexpectedly, when we met here, I was prepared and said, "It turned out to be you!" Who are you! You still have a purple head in your hand. ”
The old man laughed, "Good memory, actually leaning on my foot, recognizing me, it's not simple." Boy, to be honest, I underestimated you at the time, and it turns out that you are just as difficult as I am. ”
I said, "You don't have to stop me this time." You just want me to go, and I won't. Tell me everything you know, what exactly do the purple head and the zodiac sign? ”
The old man said, "If you can go, I'll tell you!" ”
I clenched the dagger in my hand and walked towards him, without any words, and just started it. But the old man's psychological quality was very good, he responded calmly, and he began to fight equally, but I found that the old man became more and more excited and punched faster and faster, and I gradually felt that he regarded me as a target for practice.
I realized that the old man didn't kill me, he looked like a cat teasing a mouse, and hit me twice from time to time.
Suddenly there was a flying kick, I blocked my head with my arm, and a punch hit me in the chest, and I took two steps back, and he deliberately separated. I didn't have the impulsiveness, and if I stepped forward and hit again, I would be beaten.
The old man stared at me and said, "The cards are good, there is an old man's way, but he is not good at learning, the speed is not enough, and the strength is not good." ”
I couldn't help but say, "Old man? ”
"Still pretending to be garlic with me, isn't the flying card taught to you by the old man? Known as Maitreya Buddha! ”
My mind immediately remembered the appearance of my Master of Thousand Arts, who was chubby, with a short neck, a big mouth, always grinning, and looked like a Maitreya Buddha.
The old man in front of me actually knows my master.
He continued: "I was already waiting for you here when you first went to see him in the hospital. ”
I was puzzled and asked, "What are you waiting for me to do?" I don't know you, who is he talking about? ”
"Come with me......" he lifted the erhu and put his sword into his neck.
I didn't know if it was a fire pit in front of me, so I naturally didn't move, and asked rhetorically, "Where do you want to take me?" ”
"You'll know when you go."
"What if I don't go?"
He laughed, and smiled very ugly, "If you don't come with me, I'll abolish you, and if you come with me, you'll know something you've always wanted to know." ”
I can't beat him, and it's not very likely that I'll escape.
"I'll drive with you."
I'm helpless, I can't beat it, so I have to endure it.
He had shown mercy and didn't want to hurt me, and now it seems that the sword that stabbed me at first was just to test me, and even if I couldn't dodge, he couldn't have killed me with one sword.
In the night, the figures of the two of us stretched longer and longer under the light of the dim street lamp.
He got into my car and followed his instructions to the junction of urban and rural areas.
Before entering the innermost courtyard of the alley, he pushed the door and entered, it was a small courtyard house, and there was a huge locust tree growing in the middle of the courtyard, and several people couldn't hold it.
When he reached the door of the main room, he pushed it open again.
There is not a single lock.
He pulled the switch on the wall, the light was on, the living room was not big, there were some weapons hanging around, there were many paintings hanging in other places, and in the middle of the living room there was an old-fashioned table of eight immortals, on which were placed some paints and brushes, and there was a painting that was not finished.
To be honest, it's really not very good.
Flowers are not like flowers, birds are not like birds, mountains are not like mountains, and water is not like water.
It's like Master Qi's shrimp, I can't see what's good, where there is the charm of those so-called experts.
Next to the doorway, there was a wooden head with a vivid facial expression, placed on top of a stake with several daggers attached to the stake, and some sawdust on the ground.
It can be seen that these daggers were thrown out and tied to the stakes.
The fall of the sawdust proves that the stake has been pierced countless times.
I looked at the head, and because of the light, I couldn't see it clearly, but who knew that suddenly a throwing knife came and stabbed the head in the left eye, and the head rolled to the ground.
The old man said, "That portrait is not something you can admire. Aren't you a Qian? I'm going to make a bet with you today, if you win, I'll give you something, and if you lose, I'm afraid you won't live this time next year. ”
I sneered, "Today you're the second person to say that to me." There are quite a few people who have said they will kill me, but they have all fallen in front of me. ”
The old man said, "Did he tell you?" ”
I nodded.
"That's right. You may not know who he is yet? If you knew who he was, you wouldn't have said something like that, he said you can't see tomorrow's sun, you can't see tomorrow's sun, and I believe him right. ”
I could tell he was trying to whet me and ask him who that person was.
In that case, I would fall into passivity, so I didn't dwell on this topic, "I'm a Qian, not a gambler, you can bet if you say bet?" ”
The old man pushed all the paints and unfinished paintings on the table of the Eight Immortals under the table, "It doesn't matter if you don't bet, I'll abolish you." If you're going to win, I'll give you that purple head. ”
Such a bet is a huge temptation for me.
The Purple Head is now not measurable in terms of money.
But beneath the temptation was an abyss, and I asked, "What if I lose?" ”
"It's easier to lose, you can't see the sun tomorrow, and you will die with your doubts and regrets, and it will save you from living so tired."
I took a deep breath and didn't speak.
The old man asked: "I will ask for my life to gamble with you to promote you." ”
I said, "Okay, then I'll bet." What to bet on? ”
The old man took out a deck of playing cards from the drawer, spread them out in front of me, and said to me, "It's very simple, guess the cards, touch blindly!" ”
I didn't understand what he meant.
He explained: "It's very simple, you draw a card from the deck, you deduct it, and I draw the points. If you touch me, you will also tell the point! Whoever says wrong, loses. If both people are right, the points win. Flower card ace half a point, one point is the smallest, ten points are the largest, the number of points is the same, the dealer wins! ”
I was stunned!
Touch poker points?
This is not a dice mahjong bull card, the suit is printed, how can it be touched, of course, after countless times there is a time to be right.
I said, "Who's the banker?" ”
The old man said, "Me." ”
I said, "I'm going to check the cards." ”
The old man said: "You are the old man, you can see it at a glance." No need to check! ”
I said, "Isn't that fair?" ”
The old man sneered, "Fair? There is no fairness in the rivers and lakes at all! ”
