Master Zu has a saying, saying that collecting medicine is not a dinner invitation, not singing on stage, this is the business of pinning your head to the waistband of your pants to beg for a living, this job is not to rob the tomb and fight upside down, but also to go up the mountain and down to the sea, not to sharpen the gun into battle, but to beware of insects, snakes, tigers and leopards, not in the rivers and lakes, we must still be vigilant against the open knives and hidden guns of our accomplices......

In the old days, some people specialized in picking rare treasures between heaven and earth, called "treasure medicine", for example, the dog has a dog treasure, the cow has a bezoar, the fox has a fire cloud pill in the belly, and the centipede has a fixed wind bead in the stomach of the centipede, and the medicine picker who specializes in picking treasure medicine is one of the old lines, the north is called the sheep, the south is called the treasure, and the treasure between the heaven and the earth is suffocated.

My ancestor has a medical book, what is recorded in this book are the treasures between heaven and earth, not mortal, what kind of red ginseng doll, three-eyed dragon toad, snow-white white jade bat, these treasures can be used in medicine, some can treat leukemia, some can hang their lives, and some can return to the soul, the most bizarre is a kind of flower that grows in the brain of a dead person, it is said that this flower can make a vegetative person wake up after eating.

There is also a proverb written in the book: "Dog Bao Black, Niu Bao Huang, Corpse Ginseng Doll Sleeps on a Red Bed, Ground White Dragon, Donkey Hoof, Hundred-foot Centipede Sets Black Wind ......"

There is a folk proverb that says that it is better to have a daughter in hand than a skill, which is too true.

My ancestors practiced medicine for generations, and there was a Cixi Lafayette's imperial doctor in the most glorious time, specially for Lafayette to adjust white jade cream to wrinkle and beautify the skin, this white jade cream is made of a variety of rare treasures, mixed with the pearl of the millennium clams, not only can be applied to the face but also can be taken in, often eat solid Peiyuan, prolong life.

At that age, my family was also a small common man in the root of the four or nine imperial cities, Beijing had a house and a car, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, when it was passed to my great-grandfather's generation, he was fascinated by listening to the opera, but also boiled eagles and dogs, often spent a lot of money to buy a big eagle, nothing to do with the dog to take the big eagle to hunt in the suburbs of Beijing, the big eagle and the dog cost a lot of money, a meal of fresh meat alone has to eat five or six catties, at that time the Taiping Army twisted the son of Yihe fist is one stubble after another, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, many hungry people are starving to death outside the capital every day, it is thousands of family wealth can not help you like this。

So this situation in Cixi Lafayette went to hold on, the Manchu Qing has rotted to the bones, at the beginning of my great-grandfather, the stubborn lord relied on the hereditary position of the imperial doctor can also mix a few taels of silver a month, after the Manchu mountains and rivers went down, he was dismissed, no financial resources, he had to open a medical hall by himself to make a living.

Unfortunately, the house leak happened to rain overnight, at that time, the business of the hospital in the capital was not good, and people died everywhere, most of the people who came to see the doctor did not spend money, and the neighbors and neighbors said that the money was angry, not to mention the money boiled out, my great-grandfather was a nephew character, did not keep accounts, and the credit owed more could not continue.

How can you just see a doctor and don't take medicine, the old Beijingers want to die and be poor, even if they are poor, they have to support the dignity of the old Zhang family, so they pay for themselves...... At the beginning, you can also take the things left by the old man to pawn for some money turnover, and then the valuable objects in the house are gone, seeing the mastiffs and horses in the house hungry eyes are green, the big eagle is hungry and can't fly, the hungry face has no vegetables, the daughter-in-law is holding the child and going back to her parents' house, the house is chickens flying and dogs jumping. My great-grandfather angrily stumbled and scolded the heavens and scolded all over again, he gritted his teeth and all his teeth, thinking about life and death, wealth and fortune in the sky, and said that he would simply take the real estate title deed and go to the gambling shop to make a fortune.

At that time, there were a lot of treasure bureaus (casinos) in Beijing, specially for those old guns to go in to play money, there were a lot of Buddha (thieves) in the treasure bureau to go back and forth, and there were special old people to set up a bureau to set you, just go to the time when the master is short, to the back of your money gambling is over, you roll your eyes and throw you out of the door with your neck.

My great-grandfather's name is Zhang Guobao, Zhang Guobao brought the real estate title deed this day, picked up his land deed and slapped it on the table, and exchanged it for two hundred taels of silver for me!

He is playing with his life, and the courtyard of a hutong in Beijing is also worth some money, and the palm of the gambling shop looked at the title deed in his hand, verified the authenticity, and allocated him two hundred taels of silver tickets from the counter on the spot, and shouted that the back hall gave Zhang Ye a cup of tea, and ordered Gao Moer.

Zhang Guobao pulled the pigtail to his neck, rolled up his sleeves, and looked left and right with a silver ticket in his arms, and saw that there were gambling dice, he was usually not good at gambling, thinking that this would come quickly, so he would bet on this.

If you want to say that people are in a hurry to give birth, this Yama Lord has to give you a detour, the people in the gambling shop are the big tricksters in the capital, the old guns, see that there is a lively can not play cards, throw the cards in the hand to accompany the game, the more people in the game, the higher the odds, soon the people in the gambling shop are coming, a gambling table is sprinkled with hundreds of people, sitting in the village is the old Zhuangzi of Sijiu City, called dice six.

Who is this dice six, is the famous thousand kings of the capital, that is, the number one of the old thousands, in the middle of the thousand doors, there is a person with a report number, spitting, the casino of the four nine cities has to tremble, this thousand doors are one of the old lines, specializing in the rivers and lakes to be abducted, even the experts do not dare to offer ugliness in front of the dice six, Zhang Guobao is good, he hit the muzzle of the gun. Why is Dice Six called Lao Zhuangzi? Because he never loses money in the banker's casino.

Seeing that there was a fat sheep on the table, Dice Six was very attentive, and hurriedly put the cards on the code: "Zhang Ye, sit down, sit down!"

Zhang Guobao was very impatient, threw the silver ticket in his hand on the table, raised his eyebrows and found a high stool to sit down: "What is the fastest time to gamble here?"

Dice six nodded and bowed: "Master, if you want to make money quickly, bet on the size, this is the fastest, a game is determined to win or lose, the dealer pays three, come steadily, drought and flood to ensure income!"

"That's okay, that's it!"

Zhang Guobao is usually not good at gambling, I don't understand the Tao here, I saw the wronged big head fat sheep, the whole gambling shop people came to the table to accompany the game, there are big bets and small bets, but the play is small, half two or two, when fishing in troubled waters, if you touch the fish, you will make a lot of money.

"Master, are you betting big and small?" Six took the dice jar in his hand, spat in his palm, and prepared to start shaking the dice.

"Big, just bet big!" Zhang Guobao was anxious, just waiting for the money to turn over the book and take it home to buy meat for the big eagle dog to eat, and then go back to kill the dog and eat fragrant meat, can this not be in a hurry, he thought to himself that there is a god three feet above his head, I Zhang Guobao has done a lot of good things in Pingsuli, practicing medicine and accumulating virtue, this time the dragon must turn over, the fish jumps over the dragon gate, and makes a full bowl!

But he underestimated the gunners in this treasure bureau, they were specially lit to set off guns for the owner, and I don't know how many fat sheep in the pit Zhang Guobao, and the people in the pit have committed suicide by selling their children and daughters without a hundred times, and there are dozens of times, these people are blood-sucking zombies, and they don't spit out bones when they eat meat.
