The backyard was bustling, with several people gathered around a table shouting loudly. There was a porcelain bowl on the table, and it was sitting there, and there were three dice lying in the bowl.

At this time, everyone gathered around a tall woman, not because she was beautiful or attractive, but because she was about to roll the three dirty dice.

I saw that the woman reached out and grabbed the three dice, shook them in her hand, and gently threw them into the porcelain bowl lying on the table, and the dice swirled around the wall of the bowl a few times, and then stopped.

The number of points rolled by the dice is '3.7.6'.

The woman's face turned pale, and she scolded loudly: "What kind of bird luck is this?

The rest of the crowd laughed and spoke.

"Mengniang, if you lose again, you will have to accompany me tonight. ”

"Mengniang, why don't you go with me now, I'll make up for you if you lose. ”

"Mengniang, it seems that I will buy you again. ”

......

When Geng Huyuan saw this scene, he was not disgusted, nor was he interested in participating, but just crossed his arms and watched coldly.

Meng Ran was a little wrong, he had been living in the Meng Mansion before, and he had been protected by his parents and servants, and he had never seen such a gamble. It stands to reason that when he saw this scene for the first time, he was either curious or simply disliked, but deep in his heart, there was a hatred for no reason, and then a murderous aura overflowed his body and rushed straight to the few people who were fighting.

The gamblers who were laughing at themselves felt a chill on their backs and looked back at the passer.

One of the fierce-looking men asked in a vicious voice: "Where did you come from? There is still a murderous aura, is it the murderous aura in the crotch of his pants?"

The man spoke very unpleasantly, Meng Ran was furious, and his murderous aura was even stronger, and he almost drew his knife.

At this moment, Geng Huyuan reached out and pressed Meng Ran's right hand that was clenching the handle of the knife, and asked softly, "Stop, what do you want to do?"

Meng Ran just had red eyes and didn't stop.

Geng Huyuan made a knife with his hand, but he gently slashed at the back of Meng Ran's neck, and Meng Ran collapsed softly and was hugged by Geng Huyuan.

After Geng Huyuan did all this, he had the opportunity to speak to the group of people, and he said slightly apologetically: "I'm really sorry to disturb your Yaxing, we just came to buy horses, I never thought that he suddenly committed an epidemic and did such a foolish thing, I hope you will forgive me." ”

The fierce and vicious strong man smiled coldly, "If you say bother, just bother, if you say forgive, forgive me, when a few of us are dead?"

Geng Huyuan frowned slightly, looking at this situation, I am afraid that it is difficult to be good, even if it is in the city, there are many unpredictable possibilities, thinking of this, he gently put Meng Ran on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "It's a problem for the next two, you draw a line, I will follow it together." ”

"Oh, a pretty man. A thin man walked out of the crowd, although he looked weak, but the ferocity under his eyes was not well hidden, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the table, and said slowly: "I don't embarrass you, let Mengniang shake the dice once, if you guess the size, we will not only let you go, but also give you two horses." If he guesses wrong, leave his right hand. ”

Having said this, his right halberd pointed to Meng Ran who was lying on the ground.

Geng's brow furrowed even harder, like a few ravines in the dry land that hadn't rained for months.

He squinted his eyes at the people in front of him, and his right hand quietly touched the single knife, holding the handle tightly, and then gently releasing it.

"Okay, I'll guess. ”

The stout man grinned, "Let's get started." ”

With that, he glanced at the group of people, who slowly retreated, quietly spreading their positions, and faintly surrounded Geng Huyuan and Meng Ran in a circle.

Geng Huyuan glanced around, and then smiled: "But a game is decided?"

"What else do you want to play?" asked the thin man.

"Since I want to play, I won't guess the size, let this dream girl roll the dice once, if it's less than ten points, even if I win, what do you think?"

"Okay, this kind of gambling is the most painful, so it's decided. The strong man slapped the table, "Mengniang, you can roll the dice." ”

Mengniang glanced at Geng Huyuan twice, then picked up the three dice, gently pinched them in her hand, and shook them slightly.

The three dice swirled along the wall of the bowl, tugging at the hearts of everyone present, and everyone held their breath to watch the result.

No matter how long the dice turned, there were times when they stopped, and with the light sound of tinkling, the dice lay quietly at the bottom of the bowl, and the three dice were 1.3.4, a total of eight points.

Geng Huyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then became nervous again, and his right hand was gently placed on his waist.

The strong man glanced at Meng Niang with a dissatisfied face, and then asked coldly, "Do you want to play again?"

"What? Are you going to go back on your word?"

The strong man slapped his palm on the table, "So what?"

The atmosphere was stiff for a while, and a tense atmosphere filled the entire courtyard.

At this moment, the thin man spoke, "Third brother, if you are willing to lose the bet, how can you go back on your word? ”

The strong man named Lao San was very unconvinced, but he obediently obeyed, and waved with one hand: "Follow me here, the horses are in the backyard." ”

It turns out that this is still not a backyard, but the second entrance of the yard.

Geng Huyuan helped Meng Ran up, carried him behind him, and followed the third child to the backyard.

Not long after, Geng Huyuan led a tall and sturdy green horse to the second courtyard, and the thin man frowned slightly, "You said that you only led one of the two horses, do you look down on me and wait?"

Geng Huyuan smiled slightly, "Don't dare, I still have to take away one of the horses in the fence in the front yard." ”

The crowd burst into laughter and discussion.

The thin man raised his hand slightly, and everyone's voices stopped abruptly, thinking that this weak man was the leader of this group of people, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, "Oh? Have you seen Mr. Li?"

"Mr. Li Haoran?"

"Exactly. ”

"Yes. ”

"And he instructed you?"

Geng Huyuan shook his head, "It's just a decision, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Li." ”

The thin man nodded slightly, "Good eyes." Go ahead. ”

Geng Huyuan bowed, and then led the green horse to the front yard.

When Geng Huyuan stepped out of the second courtyard, the strong man named Lao San walked out of the backyard, walked to the table with a disgruntled face, and asked angrily, "Second brother, why are you doing this?"

"Oh, what's wrong? Didn't we lose?"

"But those two offended us first, and besides, the two of them must be fat sheep, we might as well ......" The third child made a decapitation motion.

The thin man squinted his eyes slightly, and two cold glints shot out of his face without anger, and he glanced around.

The third child nodded slightly and scolded, "Let's all go down, do you want to stand here and watch the play?"

The people, along with the woman named Mengniang, ran away.

When everyone was finished, the thin man said coldly: "Third brother, have you forgotten how the eldest brother died?"

The third child's lips squirmed a few times, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

The thin man spoke again: "If you dare to act privately, I will not have a brother like you. ”

"Second brother...... "The third brother shouted very sadly, "Your body is the most important thing, even if the eldest brother is alive, he will agree with my approach." ”

"I know my body. The thin man sighed and said softly, "Even the best medicinal herbs can't cure it, so why waste money? What's more, we really did something wrong back then, so we ended up like this." ”

The third child looked resentful, "What's wrong with us? We just want to live, is this wrong?"

"What about other people? Someone else's life is not a life?"

"I don't care, my eldest brother is gone, I only have you as a brother, I just want you to be well. ”

"Hey, why bother?"

The two brothers fell silent......

On the other hand, Geng Huyuan was holding the green horse with one hand and Meng Ran's body with the other, walking with difficulty. When he reached the front yard, he led the Northland pony out of the enclosure, and then out of the yard and walked in the direction of the outside of the city.

Before he left the city gate, Meng Ran had already struggled to get off Geng Huyuan's body, his neck ached faintly, and his thinking was a little broken, just holding on to the wall on the side to make a thinking motion.

After a long while, his thoughts slowly condensed, and the situation in the horse market echoed in his mind, and his expression was a little complicated, and a little guilty and uneasy.

He twisted his neck, stood in a more comfortable posture, and said slowly, "Uncle Geng, I'm causing you trouble again." ”

Geng Huyuan waved his hand, but asked with concern, "Young Master, what happened to you just now?

"Well, I don't know. Meng Ran tried to recall the origin of the hatred in his heart, but he couldn't think of it, he carefully recalled the people at the gambling table, there was no superfluous memory at all, and it was only the first time he had seen those people.

Inexplicable, unreasonable, and even unreasonable, why is this? Meng Ran couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure out what the hell was going on? Why did he have such a strong feeling of disgust that he wanted to pull out a knife and kill someone.

Meng Ran's brows furrowed, because he was thinking too hard, so that there was a faint pain near his temples, and he snorted unfreely.

A faint anxiety rose in his heart, and inexplicable emotions surged, but he didn't know what to do, which made him very annoyed, and he involuntarily slammed his fist against the wall on the side.

There was a muffled 'bang', and the wall didn't react, but Meng Ran grinned.

Geng Huyuan's eager voice came from the side, "Young Master, are you okay?"

Meng Ran shook his head, "Maybe I haven't rested, my head is a little unclear, just rest for a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, he sat down on the ground, regardless of where it was.

Then there was a strange scene in the street, a young man sat against the wall with his eyes closed, and next to him stood a sturdy middle-aged man, looking worried, holding two horses in his hands, a beautiful and tall green horse, and an ugly and strange pony.

Passers-by looked and looked at the two of them, pointing at them.
