One hundred and forty-one Woe arises from gambling
Recently, the South China Sea Medicine Immortal Antarctic Weng made a big fuss on the Chunfeng passenger ship, and the story of Liu Sange taking advantage of the chaos to rescue Nanbu was spreading, and of course the flush heard about it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the gate of the waterway compound, a notice was officially posted to reward the murderers Liu Sange and Nan Bufall, and those who could provide accurate information were rewarded with 500,000 taels of silver.
Seeing the bounty notice, the straight flush was determined, and it seemed that the master and the master had saved the day.
Back at Daomao Temple, Flush discussed with the old Taoist priest Jin Chanzi to find the master.
Jin Chanzi said: "Where can I find it?"
"Well, I don't know. ”
Jin Chanzi said: "I don't know, if you want to find him, it's troublesome." ”
Straight flush Ziqi said: "Then look for it slowly." ”
Jin Chanzi said: "However, this matter is simple and simple. ”
"Hey, how is it so simple?"
Jin Chanzi pondered: "The old dragon head died suddenly, and the third brother was wronged, can he swallow this breath?"
Straight flush said: "No one can swallow it." ”
Jin Chanzi said: "At present, what does the third brother want to do the most?"
Straight flush said: "Find out the truth and find the real culprit." ”
Jin Chanzi said: "Where can I find out the truth?"
"Nanjing. ”
Jin Chanzi smiled: "Okay, you can find it in Nanjing, as long as he lives, he will definitely be in Nanjing." ”
Straight flush said: "Alive? ”
"People always have to die, and only immortals can live forever. ”
Jin Chanzi said: "The Taoist is good for everything, but it's not good to love the top cow, I mean, no one should want to kill the master, the master will die when he is old." ”
Jin Chanzi said: "This is reasonable. ”
Flush said: "The Taoist doesn't talk much, but he gives the younger generation a hint of the maze, it seems that the Taoist is indeed different, a little fairy." ”
"One moment say that I am 'top cow', and another time say that I have 'fairy energy', it's all your words, the fairy energy is a little, not much, more than that, I finger a little, and your master and sister appeared in front of me. ”
The flush laughed and said, "You can quickly cultivate the immortals, if you cultivate it, we will all be clean." ”
After that, he picked up the broken basket, carried the dog beating stick, slipped through the smoke, ran out of the Daomao Temple, and went to Nanjing City to find the master.
Every poor person loves to dream of getting rich.
The guy at the Xianglan Inn in Sericulture Town is a young man who loves to dream of making a fortune. The monthly salary is only three taels of silver, but I still want to become a rich man with a lot of money overnight, even if I can't be rich, as long as I can have an inn like Shopkeeper Lin, this life will not be in vain.
Dreams are often made, and at the end, I can't help but sigh: alas, there is no hope of getting rich, it seems that this life really has to run in vain in the world.
Fun is in his thirties, the fourth in the family, known as "Ah Si", a native of Zhenhai, Ningbo, and the hometown of the innkeeper Lin Fukang.
Ah Si is upright, diligent in his hands and feet, well-behaved, loyal and honest, and is deeply appreciated by Boss Lin.
People who are both smart and honest are really hard to find in the world.
Clever and clever people tend to be slippery and unreliable, while loyal and honest people are reliable but clumsy, and even good things can be done.
But Ah Si is both reliable and able to do things, so Boss Lin naturally relies on his help.
However, Ah Si has a hobby, in his free time, he loves to play cards and gamble with his neighbors, and the gambling capital is very small, nothing more than who wins, who treats, drinks a little wine, talks nonsense, and is just happy.
Ah Si's hobbies, of course Shopkeeper Lin knows, and he doesn't take it to heart.
Small gambling pleasure, big gambling loss, Ah Si is timid and will not gamble big.
That is to say, but gambling is addictive, this small and big, it is difficult to grasp, if you are not careful, you will gamble big. Once you become addicted to gambling, it is not easy to quit.
Ah Si is smart, good luck, ten bets nine wins can't be said, there are always seven or eight wins, however, a few poor brothers gamble and play, the bet is very small, only a few copper plates, pure play, if you want to make a fortune by gambling, you probably have to wait for dozens of lifetimes.
No, for dozens of lifetimes, not necessarily.
Once, Ah Si won again, it was over, of course, he invited guests, pulled three or five gambling friends, went to the small hotel to drink, everyone ate and drank, and when they were making a lot of fun, there was a young man named Starling Brother, staring at Ah Si's face, sighing and saying: "It's a pity." ”
Starling, this kid is twenty years old, lean and thin, and he is a talker, because he chirps a lot, everyone gives him a nickname, called "Starling Bird", and later, he is called "Starling Bird", and later, he is called "Starling" because he has a lot of words, so he simply calls him "Starling".
Starlings work in the largest casino in the town, "Full House", well-informed, although young, but old.
Although he is just a poor man, he is pretentious and has extremely high eyes.
Ah Si saw him staring at him, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm not a beauty, what's so good-looking." ”
Everyone coaxed: "I didn't expect that the starling was a homosexual, so it's a good mouthful." ”
Starling took a sip of wine and said: "With you individuals, I really have nothing to talk about, what's the matter, when it comes to your mouth, it's all crooked, there is no serious word all day long, what is wrong with Lao Tzu's starling being gay, it's in your way, it's really." Actually, you can't guess what Lao Tzu is thinking. ”
Everyone said: "Then why are you always staring at Ah Si? Say, I can't tell, it's that." ”
Starling said: "Lao Tzu doesn't say it, that's that, what do you like to say, can it be, Lao Tzu is still afraid that you won't be able to spread rumors? Make it up, the worse it is, the more exciting it is, the more exciting it is, see if Lao Tzu is in a hurry, if Lao Tzu is in a hurry, he will be in vain in the past few years." ”
After that, he grabbed a chicken foot claw, tasted it, gnawed it, and ignored everyone.
Everyone saw that the starling didn't take it seriously, and if the trouble continued, there would be no more drama, so it stopped.
Ah Si smiled and said, "Starling, seriously, you seem to be showing me your face?"
The starling threw the chicken feet and said, "Yo, it's really a good person, guess it right." ”
Ah Si sighed and said, "Alas, my appearance is not good, I am a poor life, and it is in vain to look at it." ”
Starling said: "Wrong. The heavenly court is full, the corners of the earth are round, the face is full of red light, the hall is shining, and the Lord is rich on the spot. ”
Everyone coaxed: "Yes, if you get rich, you have to treat yourself, make a small fortune, please once in ten days, make a big fortune, please once in three days, you can't bluff us in the food stalls and taverns, you can go if you want to go, Jinling Restaurant in Nanjing City, taste all the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the world." ”
Ah Si smiled bitterly: "Brother Starling, don't be happy with me, Ah Si, I was born to be poor and tired, and I made a fortune on the spot, if I don't get lucky on the spot, it's good." ”
Starling said: "Why are you happy, I'm full, you haven't made a fortune yet, there's a reason." ”
Ah Si asked, "What is the reason?"
Everyone said in unison: "Say, what's the reason? Starling, pointing to Ah Si has a clear road, so that Ah Si can make a fortune, and we can also get wet." ”
Starling shook his head, grabbed a chicken paw, and gnawed again.
Ah Sidao: "Hey, you said, what are you selling, halfway through the words, it hangs people's appetites, and it is the most uncomfortable." Say, don't say anything more, let's rip off your pants. ”
Everyone said again: "Yes, pick up your pants, see if this kid can't open his mouth." ”
A few people really went up, twisted his arms back, and were about to untie his trouser belt, and the drunkard on the table next to him also coaxed: "Yes, pick it up, pick up this kid and go to the street, see if he can take a shelf." ”
The starling brother was anxious and said: "Lao Tzu said, isn't it okay, why is it more and more outrageous, the pants are picked up and paraded in the streets, upside down, all fucking a group of drunks." ”
Everyone laughed, let go, and let him go.
Starling rubbed his wrist and said, "Lao Tzu is a rotten person, I can't imagine that you boys are worse than Lao Tzu." ”
Everyone said, "Don't say, let's really pick it up." ”
Starling said: "What's the hurry, just say it." ”
He pointed to Ah Si's nose and said, "You, Ah Si, are timid and too small, so you can't make a fortune so far." ”
Ah Si said: "Why should I be bold?"
Starling said: "As the saying goes, support the bold to death, starve to death the faint-hearted." ”
Ah Si said: "I rely on two hands to work to survive, and it is useless to be bold." ”
Starling said: "Then take your job, and suffer from the fucking poverty for the rest of your life!" It is still the old saying, called 'those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished'." ”
Ah Si said: "I don't want to be the emperor and general, stealing the hook and stealing the country, and I can't do anything with me." ”
Starling said: "You figure it out, it's not that you don't want to be the emperor's general, it's that you can't be the emperor's general, if you can do it, you can snatch it away, and you can grab it faster than anyone else." ”
Everyone said in unison: "Yes, the hands and feet are fast, don't attract blame, no one is as fast as Ah Si." ”
Ah Si smiled: "This is a true saying, because I can't do it, so I don't think about it." ”
Starling looked disdainful and said: "No, talking to you is 'talking in vain during the day, talking nonsense in the night', Lao Tzu Starling can't bother with you, brothers, give Lao Tzu roundworms down, don't always want to get wet." ”
After that, he got up, patted his ass and left.
Where are the people willing to put it, as soon as the starling leaves, this time is not lively, busy pulling him down, pressing down and saying: "When you don't have a child, why do you go home so early, you haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, alone, holding a pillow and thinking about your wife, the more you think about it, the more you panic." Besides, the full house casino will not open until the afternoon, and it will be enough for you to sleep if you go back late. ”
Someone served him wine and food, and said: "Starling, I'm bold, you can just dial me, let me make a small fortune, I'll make it, let's split it in half, okay?"
Everyone laughed and said: "Starling, seeing that he is in a hurry, you can fulfill him." ”
The starling brother said in a troubled manner: "Go, go, you kid is bold and useless, you kid is bold and will go to jail, believe it?"
Everyone laughed and said: "Brother Starling's words are right, if this kid is bold, he can do murder and arson, maybe he will lose his head, it's better not to be too big." ”
Ah Siqi said: "Brother Starling, why is it not good for people to be bold, and it is good for me to be bold?"
Starling said: "Of course, don't say that it's not good for him to be bold, I'm bold, it's not good, except for you, none of us here are bold." ”
Ah Si said: "I would like to hear about it." ”
Starling said: "Your mind works, a blessing, and your luck is good, no matter we play mahjong, play cards, or shake the dice, they are all planted in your hands, and there is a reason for this." ”
Ah Siqi said: "What is the reason?"
Starling grabbed Ah Si's hand and said, "Look, this is not a double working hand, it is a double gold hand." ”
Everyone wondered: "Tell me, how did you become a gold picker?"
The starling turned over Ah Si's hand, turned it over, and fiddled with it, and said: "I have said everything, I don't know if I don't know, I was shocked when I said it." Look, this hand is good, the palm is square, the palm has meat, the palm meat is raised, the skin is smooth, held in the hand, there is meat and no bones, this is called 'Founder Tofu Rich Hand', with these hands, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking; Look at it again, the back of the hand also said, 'The back of the hand is like a golden turtle, glorious and rich', with such a pair of gold hands, to work and serve people, it is not in vain. Tsk, it's really evil. ”
The starling blew his beard and glared, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and everyone looked at each other by him, and they were stunned.
The starling put Ah Si's fingers together, raised them, looked at the light, and said: "Everyone, look at it, between Ah Si's fingers, the light is not transparent, this hand can not only pick up gold, but also gather wealth, he will definitely be a rich man in the future, if he is not careful, he will become the richest man, if he doesn't do it well, he is richer than the old dragon." ”
Everyone laughed and said, "Starling, how are your hands, are they good?"
The starling threw Ah Si's hand, spread out his hand, and said angrily: "It's okay not to mention Lao Tzu's hand, but when I mention Lao Tzu's hand, I get angry, skinny chicken paws, grab gold and silver, catch empty farts, full of color, eat mixed rice, can't eat, can't starve, poor and sour and hateful to the bottom of my heart." ”
Everyone said: "Yo, the starling is out of breath, and he can also chant poetry." ”
Starling said: "What's the interest, if you have money, it's called interest, if you don't have money, it's nothing." ”
He put his fingers together, raised them, looked at the light, and said, "Fuck, the fingers are all transparent, even if there is a few money, it is all leaked, and the wealth is leaked, and you have to suffer from poverty." Look at what it's doing, don't look at it. ”
Everyone laughed and said: "Starling, if you don't visit the kiln a few times, don't you have it." ”
Starling said: "You want to suffocate Lao Tzu." ”
He said to Ah Si again: "With my brother's ability, as long as you go to the 'full house' and shake a few dice, you can earn half a year's salary, believe it?"
"I don't believe it. ”
"Let's take a gamble, how?"
Ah Si asked, "How to bet?"
"Let's go to the full house lottery casino, I will gamble, you shake the dice, lose it is mine, win, we will open five or five." ”
Everyone said: "This is what you said, starling, don't rely on it." ”
Starling pouted, and said: "When will Lao Tzu rely on the account? Don't you underestimate people? The gold and silver of the full house every day, flowing into the warehouse, all from Lao Tzu's hands, although he is a passing god of wealth, but he is also a person who has seen the world, three or two five taels of silver, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, that is not money. ”
Everyone: "What?"
". ”
Everyone laughed and said: "Ah Si, don't do it yet, do it, don't do it again, it's really a fool, change me, do it, don't do it for nothing." ”
Ah Si smiled and said, "Okay, take a gamble." ”
The next night, the starling took Ah Si and walked into the splendid full house lottery casino, in the hall, the lights were bright, the voices were complicated, there were dozens of gambling tables, and the gambling tables were full of gamblers and spectators.
The starling gave five taels of silver to Ah Si, which was all his savings, and said, "Brother Ah Si, it's not your money, you are a little more courageous, I wish you good luck." ”
Ah Si glanced at him and said, "Then try your luck, if you lose, don't blame me." ”
Starling said: "Hey, pediatrics, don't you underestimate Lao Tzu again? It's not five hundred taels of silver, I haven't seen any scene in Lao Tzu, although he is poor, he still has concentration." You just gamble and win or lose, so that you don't get scared. ”
Although he said so, his heart was a little weak, five taels of silver was his salary for a month, and it hurt if he really lost.
They came to the table at the edge of the hall, which stipulated that only small bets could be made, and gamblers could try their luck with bets of one tael to thirty taels of silver;
Naturally, a full house casino has a dedicated window for changing chips.
Starling took Ah Si to sit down at the gambling table, Ah Si bet five taels of silver, there were five people who followed the trend, there were six dice in the dice cup, and each of the six people shook a cup, and the one with the largest number wins.
The others shook first, the five people finished shaking, the largest point is thirty-five, the smallest point is fifteen, the probability of Ah Si winning is very small, he didn't shake the dice cup, he panicked, he looked at the starling, and said, "It's not good, starling." ”
Starling "Bah, bah, bah" to the ground, spit three mouthfuls of foam, and said angrily: "Put your mother's shit, say a few words of good market dialect, okay, no, or, just shake, don't fart, fart indiscriminately, the God of Wealth originally wanted to provoke you to make a fortune, I can't stand the smell of fart, and I have to run away." ”
Gamblers pay the most attention to this, Ah Si committed a big taboo, seeing that the starling was anxious, he knew that he was at a loss, so he quickly shut up.
Ah Si finally shook the dice cup, although the money was not his, but don't beat his heart, he shook it six times, he really didn't want to open the cup, and he shouted loudly in the stake supervisor: "Open the cup, if you don't open it again, even if you abstain." ”
Ah Si had to put down the dice cup, lift the cover, wow, six dice, all six points up, six six thirty-six, Ah Si had the largest number of points, and won a game.
Onlookers at the gaming table let out a burst of cheers, like this kind of call, in the full house casino, one after another, extremely common, with the call and forget, is a common thing, for Ah Si, but it has become an unforgettable scene for a lifetime.
He was overjoyed, took thirty taels of silver into his arms, and pulled the starling and wanted to leave.
Starling said, "What are you doing?"
"Let's stop betting. ”
Starling said angrily: "Stupid, your luck is just right, at this time, you have to be strategic, fly down, go forward, take advantage of the victory, no, do it, all bet." ”
was so anxious that the starling scratched his ears and cheeks, and used all the words he could think of.
Ah Si was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
Starling pointed to the silver in his arms, but he didn't dare to touch it, for fear that the chicken claws would break his luck, he was so anxious that he rushed to the crown, stomped his feet with horizontal eyebrows, and shouted: "Quick, give Lao Tzu, all, bet, on!"
Starling's eyes were red, he was about to breathe fire, and he was going to do his best, Ah Si was timid, so he had to tremble and take out the silver in his arms, and pushed the thirty taels of silver to the middle of the gambling table reluctantly.
After a while, there were six people, the other five shook the dice cup first, the fourth shaker, shook thirty-six points, and the fifth, only shook nine points, turned around and left.
Ah Si shook the dice cup at the end, when he shook it, his brain was blank, it's over, damn starling, don't listen to me, it seems that the money won is going to be lost, it's a pity, fuck, it's not mine anyway, you deserve it, chicken paw hand starling!
He shook it six times, put the dice cup on the table, lifted the lid, and wow, it was six more dice all six points up, and the fourth person who shook the dice cup, and the onlookers cried again, according to the rules, they had to shake it again, and they would win or lose.
The second time I shook the dice cup, unexpectedly, the opponent shook five ones, one zero, a total of five points, stinky.
The dice shaker thought he was unlucky, turned around to leave, was pulled by the stake, and said: "Guest officer, don't go, maybe, you stink, he stinks even more." ”
The dice shaker smiled wryly and said, "No." ”
The staker said: "No, don't go, the good show is ahead, life is unpredictable, and the gambling game is even more wonderful." ”
The one who shook five o'clock didn't leave.
Starling glanced at the staker, and said in his heart: "Be nosy, eat more fart, it's too faceless, if Lao Tzu loses, think of a way to kill you." ”
Then I thought, what are you afraid of, for as long as I can remember, I have never shaken six dice into fives in my life. It seems that this time it is a matter of holding a handle to win.
Not only has Lao Tzu not been, but no matter how bad his luck is, six dice, if he wants to shake it into five points, it is as difficult as winning the jackpot.
Ah Si smiled, shook the dice, put the cup, lifted the lid, ah, Ah Si took a breath of cold air, dumbfounded, and even shook five points.
The difference: he shook a five, five zeros. Although it is tied with the former, it is really dangerous, and it almost loses.
What's going on, oh my God!
Ah Si almost collapsed, but the opponent jumped up happily and said to the staker: "Brother, if I win, let's open five or five." ”
The stakeholder said, "It's easy to say." ”
The onlookers' cries erupted, resounding all over the hall, the gambling money was not big, but the cries were so loud that they almost tore off the roof, attracting other onlookers at the gaming table, flocking to this gaming table, and the casino bodyguards panicked and hurriedly sent additional personnel to block everyone back.
This kind of gambling is not available every day, the points are glued, and it is really jaw-dropping and eye-opening.
According to the rules, if both sides are unwilling to shake, they can also not shake, and the two sides can divide the gambling money of six people equally.
If one of them wants to shake it, it must shake it one last time.
Ah Si whispered to the starling: "Little ancestor, let's not shake it, okay?"
Starling Tie blushed, his eyes stared at the white silver on the table, and said: "No, break the kettle and sink the boat, without hesitation, move forward bravely, strike while the iron is hot, the momentum is like a bamboo, and create another success." ”
Starlings seem to be chanting, not talking. His eyes were staring straight at the silver on the table, and those eyes were as straight as the tendons in his brain.
The person who recites the scriptures has faith, and you want him to turn the corner, which is really a dream.
Ah Sixin said: Actually, this bamboo is not broken, it is stuck, where is the momentum like a broken bamboo, the starling is talking nonsense, his heart is confused, his mouth is also confused, and those who can speak it again, at this time, it is inevitable that it will be chaotic.
Ah Si muttered, "This, this, if ......"
Starling said: "Shut up, shake the cup, good luck, the Jade Emperor is the hood, the God of Wealth Bodhisattva is smiling, the fortune is like a mountain, and the gold and silver treasures are running with you." ”
He muttered like a wizard, cheering for Ah Si vigorously, he was angry and could not be vented, this truth was best understood by the starling.
Ah Si propped up the gambling table with both hands, and could barely sit still, almost slipping out to the ground.
The third time he shook the dice, the opponent was lucky, and he shook thirty-three points.
Ah Si had to shake again, his hands were shaking the dice, his bones were rattling, but he didn't feel at all, as if someone else was shaking, he just felt that his chest was pounding, and he was almost about to pop out of his mouth.
He didn't know how he put the dice cup on the table, or how he lifted the lid, but he could only hear the crowd screaming and jumping, and they were amazed.
Ah Si stared straight at the six dice in the cup, the six dice formed a wonderful circle, each smiling, six o'clock up, six six thirty-six.
"Thirty-six", this is the most wonderful number in the world.
Ah, did I shake thirty-six again? No, I want to eat farts in my dreams, how can there be such a good thing, could it be that the other party shook it? Who shook it?
At this moment, it was Ah Si's turn to mess up.
Until the starling hugged him, kissed him on the face twice, and said, "Idiot, let's win, win, it's fucking, wonderful! It's fun! It's more enjoyable than winning!"
Seeing that Ah Si was still in a trance, afraid that he would fall into an evil spirit, the starling slapped him twice in the face and said, "Wake up, fool, let's win, hurry up, wake up." ”
Ah Si woke up like a dream, pushed away the starling, threw himself on the table, and pulled all the silver into his arms, one hundred and eighty taels of silver, stuffed into his arms It was really heavy, and it sank to the bottom of his heart.
In this life, he has never been in his arms, once stuffed so much silver, Shen is really heavy, happy is really happy.
The stakeholder said to Ah Si: "Guest officer, do you understand the rules?"
Ah Si said: "Rules, what are the rules, the rules are, I won!"
The staker said to the starling: "Starling, you tell this guest officer." ”
Starling said: "Ah Si, don't mess around, according to the regulations, the winner must take out 10% of the gambling silver and hand it over to the staker." ”
"Ah, why?"
The stakeholder said, "You want the people in the house to drink the northwest wind." ”
Ah Si thought about it, and the casino couldn't be opened in vain, so he nodded and said, "Cheng." ”
and handed over eighteen taels of silver. The stump said: "No, there are three taels that should be handed over for the first time, a total of twenty-one taels." ”
"So?"
"If you don't count it like that, how can it be counted? You ask the starling to go, and the starling knows. ”
Ah Si looked at the starling brother, the starling nodded, and Ah Si had to hand over another three taels, and there was one hundred and fifty-nine taels of silver left in his arms.
Afterwards, the starling strictly kept his promise, except for his own five taels of silver, and won one hundred and fifty-four taels of silver, and they divided it in half, each of which received seventy-seven taels of silver.
For Ah Si, he made a fortune.
A month's salary is three taels of silver, a year is thirty-six taels of silver, he is old, there are young, every month to his wife two and a half, half a two taels of silver is his pocket money for a month, life is stretched.
Now, with these seventy-seven taels of silver, what are you doing?
If you have 150 taels of silver, you can rent a storefront in the Confucius Temple and open a shop.
Otherwise, there is no other way to think of it, no one will lend you eighty taels of silver to open a shop.
What if the shop closes down at a loss? Eighty taels of silver will be wasted. There is only one poor bastard left, who wants no money, but one life, and no one wants his cheap life.
Ah Si thought about it for three days and three nights, and suddenly, he remembered the starling, only the starling in the world looked up to me the most, maybe, he was willing to borrow it.
He found the starling brother and said, "Brother, discuss something." ”
Say. ”
He told the starling his thoughts, and the starling said: "Say yes earlier, you know, how much money is left in Lao Tzu's pocket now?"
"It took a little, and there are still young and old. ”
Starling said: "I'm not old yet, I only have five taels of silver left." ”
"Where does the money go?"
Starling said happily: "I went to the most famous kiln in Nanjing, called two top girls, accompanied me for a night, and spent all the money I won." ”
"Ah, you can't save some flowers, hey, what a bottomless coffin. ”
Starling said: "Lao Tzu didn't bring it when he was born, he didn't bring it when he died, why save money, one day, a flying disaster, died, the money was not spent, then he didn't die unjustly." The hard money is used happily and happily. Why don't we take another gamble?"
He took out five taels of silver, begged for nothing, and pulled Ah Si's cuffs.
Ah Si said: "No, I won't go." ”
Ah Si spent a lot of effort to get rid of the entanglement of the starling.
He didn't want to share the money he won with Starling.
Now, the only way to gamble is to gamble again.
He picked an auspicious night of the zodiac, and walked into the full house lottery casino, and unfortunately bumped into the starling, and the starling said: " You kid is not kind, Lao Tzu picked you to make a fortune, after a few days, I forgot to clean up, now there are a few stinky money, even ignore the head, see Lao Tzu, just when I don't see it, just think about the muffled sound and make a fortune, hide aside and eat alone, hum, Lao Tzu curses you, curses you Ah Si, from now on, fortune reverses, every gambling will lose, foot shit, go bad luck, one step is not smooth, one step is not smooth, one slump, the field is defeated, lose a fine light, and there is a pants left, __"
Starling's mouth is really poisonous, picking out words that hurt people, what he said later, Ah Si didn't hear clearly, and he didn't want to hear it, anyway, the dog couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth.
Ah Si pretended not to hear, avoided it, and did not reason with him, carrying seventy-seven taels of silver, exchanged it into chips at the window, and went to the big table to gamble.
Unexpectedly, with only one cup of dice, he lost all seventy-seven taels of silver.
There was a loan shark next to the gambling table, named Cui Minggui, nicknamed "Urging Ghost", in fact, he was also a person full of color, and said: "Guest officer, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, if you want to gamble, I will give you the wrong money." ”
I don't know where the courage came from, Ah Si Lion opened his mouth and said, "Borrow a hundred taels of silver." ”
The urging ghost said: "Okay, but if you want to sign an IOU, I will give it if you sign it, and if you want cash, you will cash it, and if you want chips, you will have chips." ”
"Quick, bring the IOU, I'll sign it." Ah Si can't wait.
The urging ghost took out an IOU from his arms, pulled him to the signing room on the side, and said: "Guest officer, you have to look carefully, sign it, then you can't regret it, if you don't sign it, it's still too late to regret it." ”
Ah Si only glanced at the IOU, didn't look at it carefully at all, picked up the pen and signed it.
The urging ghost put away the IOU, but he was also refreshed, took out a chip worth one hundred taels of silver from his bosom, and handed it to Ah Si.
Ah Si came to the table, went all-in, shook the dice cup again, and lost again.
Starling stood aside and peeked, just now, Ah Si lost, and he applauded, now, seeing Ah Si borrowed usury and lost another hundred taels of silver, but he was so frightened that he didn't squeak, he faintly felt that Ah Si was really going to be finished this time, could it be that I was cursed to lose? Thinking of this, he sneaked away, lest Ah Si be angry with him.
If an honest person wants to initiate poison, he can do anything.
The urging ghost said: "Guest officer, do you still borrow it?"
"Borrow. ”
"How much?"
"One hundred taels. He just wants to win this one, and he will never come again, he doesn't believe that his luck will be so stinky, as long as he wins, he can pay off his debts and open a store, and everything is solved.
Believe it or not, Ah Si still loses.
In this way, he borrowed six hundred taels of silver, and all of them were lost, and he really became a loser.
He still wanted to borrow, but urged the ghost not to borrow, as if he knew his family background, and said, "What do you use to pay it back? Lao Tzu borrowed it again, he really became a fool." ”
Ah Si can't remember how he got out of the full house casino.
Since then, he has been saddled with a huge debt of loan sharks.
The debt collector urged the ghost, with thugs, often blocked him, fists and feet, urging him to repay the debt, saying that it was now a thousand taels of silver, or let him hand over his wife and three children to pay off the debt, if not, if he did not pay it back in ten days, he would have to unload one of his thighs.
Run, drag the family, no money, how can you run?
Suddenly, the secret he had buried in his heart came out. It seems that now that the mountains and rivers are really exhausted, perhaps, this is the only way to try:
Half a month ago, Xianglan Inn lived in a middle-aged couple, the male merchant looked, the woman had a big belly, humming and chirping, as if she was going to give birth to a baby, the couple snuggled up to each other, very affectionate.
Since the shopkeeper Lin took over the couple, he seems to have changed as a different person, and since then, he has been secretive and sneaky, and it is clear that there is a secret hidden from everyone. And told the guys that there were two relatives in the hometown, who liked to be quiet, recuperating in the backyard, and the inn was idle, and they were not allowed to enter.
Since then, the backyard gate has been closed, and a large lock has been added.
The only people who can enter the backyard are Shopkeeper Lin and his wife.
This is something that has never happened since the opening of the Xianglan Inn, and there must be something strange inside.
I remember that at the beginning, when the "relative" of the shopkeeper Lin came to the inn, he had taken a photo, the middle-aged man was dusty, full of anxiety, and now he still vividly remembers, he does not speak Ningbo dialect, a native official dialect, how did he become a relative from his hometown?
It's been half a month, perhaps, the child has already been born, and this man and woman have never seen each other again, it's really puzzling to think about.
Could it be that the two of them are on the run, Third Brother Liu and Nan Bu are about to fall? Doesn't it mean that Nan Bu is about to give birth.
True, no, yes, it should be.
This suspicion has been buried in his heart for a long time, he is a tight-mouthed person, and he has never mentioned this matter to anyone.
A notice was posted at the gate of the waterway compound to arrest the murderer Liu Sange and his wife, saying: Anyone who can provide accurate information will be rewarded with 500,000 taels of silver.
Liu Sange and Nan do not fall, they are heroes of the rivers and lakes, Ah Si admires them very much, saying that Liu Sange killed the old dragon head, he didn't believe it at all, when he saw the reward, he said in his heart: I just know where they are hiding, and I will not do this kind of conscience for the sake of rewarding silver.
Some riches are made, and some are not. Ah Si is a person with a bottom line, and he will never cross the bottom line and do bad things.
Now, the situation has changed, and he has reached the threshold of life and death, and he has no choice, either his family will be ruined, or he will take this path that will allow him to escape the catastrophe and make a windfall.
He didn't dare to tell the secret himself, Liu Sange had many brothers who changed their lives, and if he knew that it was his own secret in the future, his life would be difficult to protect.
He thought of many ways, but he couldn't come up with a perfect solution.
Now, suddenly, my brain had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good method, and I felt that this method was more reliable and I could give it a try.
It can not only pay off gambling debts, but also make a profit, and, more importantly, can strictly keep secrets, save lives, and have no worries.
In the evening, he walked into the full house lottery casino, went straight to the creditor, and urged the ghost to say: "Yo, what wind blew you? Recently, you have seen Lao Tzu and hid, today, how did you find Lao Tzu?
Ah Si said: "It has to do with repaying the money." ”
"No, Lao Tzu only recognizes money, not whether it is related or not. ”
Ah Si said: "I want to talk to your boss." ”
The ghost said: "Find the boss, are you fainting? The boss won't be for this little money, see you, rolling, itchy bones, begging for a beating, don't you? ”
Ah Si said solemnly: "I have an extremely confidential matter, talk to the boss, don't worry, the boss won't blame you, he will only reward you, believe me, just believe it once." ”
Ah Si is serious, his expression is solemn, and he looks like he is in trouble, and he can't help but believe it.
The urging ghost said: "Well, then, you wait, I'll go see the boss and talk about it." ”
After a while, the urging ghost came and said: "Count your luck, today, the boss is in a very good mood and is willing to see you, remember, his surname is Huang, you have to be respectful, otherwise, there is no good fruit for you to eat, and there is no good fruit for Lao Tzu to eat." ”
Ah Si said: "Cui Ye, I understand this." ”
The urging ghost took Ah Si to a hall in the backyard, and saw Boss Huang lying on the easy chair, and there was a powerful bodyguard standing behind the chair. ”
Boss Huang didn't get up, he was still lying on the easy chair, with sleep, and said lazily: "Say, what's the matter?"
Ah Si couldn't see the boss's face clearly, and snorted: "It's a matter of confidentiality, please ask the shopkeeper to step back around." ”
Boss Huang was a little impatient, raised his head and glared at Ah Si, yawned, and waved his hand away, waving the bodyguard and the life-urging ghost.
Looking up, Ah Si caught a glimpse of Boss Huang's appearance: with a coffin face, a face full of meat, a green mark on his left forehead, a big mouth, and big teeth, he knew that he was an evil star at a glance, and he couldn't help but take a breath.
Now that he has reached this point, he can't care so much, he said: "The villain has a secret, he can make a lot of money, and he wants to share it with Boss Huang." ”
Boss Huang said: "Haha, share? Lao Tzu only knows that pies will not fall from the sky, so you might as well talk about it." ”
Ah Sidao: "The villain has three conditions, Boss Huang agreed, and the villain said, Boss Huang didn't agree, and the villain couldn't say it." ”
Boss Huang laughed, few people dared to bargain with him like this, and now he really ran into it, he thought it was funny, so he laughed, this smile, his mouth was bigger, and it became a big mouth.
He said: "What are the conditions, just say." ”
Ah Si said: "First, it must be kept secret, and it must not be revealed to anyone, it is the secret of the villain; second, the usury of the 1,000 taels of silver owed by the villain will be exempted; and third, after the matter is completed, the villain will be rewarded with half of the silver." ”
Boss Huang said: "Your secret is worth 10,000 taels of silver, and Lao Tzu agreed, it's not worth it, don't talk about it." ”
Ah Sidao: "Not only 10,000." ”
Boss Huang was skeptical and said, "Yo, what secret is so valuable?" Okay, Lao Tzu agreed. ”
Ah Si said: "The villain knows where Third Brother Liu and Nan Bu are hiding. ”
Boss Huang was taken aback, his drowsiness disappeared, and he sat up from the easy chair and said, "Really, where is it?"
"Pandan Inn. ”
Boss Huang said: "It's the one in the north of the village?"
Mulberry Silkworm Town is not big, there are several inns, and Boss Huang is generally clear.
Ah Sidao: "Yes." ”
Boss Huang said: "What's the matter? ”
Ah Si told the third brother Liu and Nan Bu about hiding in the Xianglan Inn.
Boss Huang said: "Perhaps, it happens to be a couple going out, and the wife gave birth prematurely, so it is not necessarily the south that gives birth to a child." ”
Ah Sidao: "If it is indeed as you said, why does the shopkeeper Lin have to keep it so secret? I went to ask the midwife, and the midwife just laughed, did not say yes, did not say no, it seems that the shopkeeper Lin gave a lot of hush money." ”
Boss Huang said: "Could it be, this woman is the lover of the shopkeeper Lin? And the child in the womb, if you can't get it, is his species? In this world, there is no glass man, everyone has secrets, he has it, you have it, I have it, who said, who is a fucking fool." ”
Ah Sidao: "If it is the lover of the shopkeeper Lin, it is too much to let his wife serve the lover, besides, marrying a second room, and not being a thief or robber, what is there to keep secret." ”
Boss Huang's face turned grim, and he muttered: "Be a thief, be a robber?"
Ah Si said: "What's wrong?"
Boss Huang laughed, changed his words, and said, "It makes sense." However, let me ask you, why didn't you come to tell the whistle in the first place, and it took half a month before you came?"
Ah Si said: "Third Brother Liu, Nan is not a hero, Shopkeeper Lin is my fellow countryman, if it weren't for the debt I owe you, no matter how poor my Ah Si is, I wouldn't do this kind of lack of morality, and now, I have no choice but to make this decision." ”
Boss Huang said: "What if, that couple is not Liu Sange and Nan Bu fall?"
Ah Si said: "I can only sell my wife and children to pay off your debts." Presumably, the people of the waterways will not be difficult for you. ”
Boss Huang groaned: "It's embarrassing, but I lost face, and I can't afford to lose face when I mix in the rivers and lakes." For the sake of insurance, Lao Tzu went to the Xianglan Inn at night to explore the movement, you give the Xianglan Inn and draw a sketch to me, the front yard, the back yard, the front door, the back door, none of them can be missing. ”
Ah Si drew a detailed picture of Boss Huang.
Boss Huang took the picture, looked at it again, asked a few more questions, and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, then let him go, and said, "Okay, you go home first, keep your mouth shut, no one can say anything about this, and neither can your wife and children." Now, it's all Lao Tzu's business, and after the matter is completed, you just wait for the silver to be divided. ”
Ah Si said: "I wish Boss Huang smooth sailing and success." ”
In the third watch, the moon was dark and the stars were scarce, Boss Huang changed into a night coat, inserted a single knife on his back, vacated the roof tiles, and went to the Xianglan Inn.
According to the sketch, the front yard was a serious inn, so he didn't go, and went straight into the backyard.
There is a room in the north of the backyard, and a room in the west, and there is no light. In the middle is a wide courtyard, in the middle of which is a dense plane tree, and some hedgerows and plants.
Boss Huang hid in the dense leaves of the plane tree, motionless, he knew that Third Brother Liu was powerful, if he made a little noise, this life would be confessed.
The courtyard was quiet and quiet, only the chirping of night birds could be heard, and after a long time, there was no movement, and I was about to leave, when I suddenly heard the baby's cry in the north house, the window was yellow, and the lights were turned on, and there was a noise, and I heard an old woman coaxing the baby, humming a lullaby, and hearing a young woman say: "Lai Bao is really noisy, just slept for a while, and woke up again." ”
The old woman said: "The baby is small, I know what, I'm about wetting the bed again, ah yo hey, it's really peeing, the pants are all wet." ”
The young woman said: "It didn't take long for the pants and diapers to be changed, and I had to change them again, alas, it tossed Mrs. Lin enough." ”
"A family doesn't speak two words, and it is a privilege to be able to serve the girl. ”
I didn't hear a man's voice, and when I heard the conversation, most of the girls just didn't fall south. Boss Huang was overjoyed.
Perhaps, Third Brother Liu went out, and only Nan Bu fell and the wife of the shopkeeper Lin who was waiting for the confinement was left in the house, Boss Huang was a lot bolder, and he fell under the lighted window in a flat sand style, licked the window paper with his tongue, and looked into the house.
I saw Nan Bu sitting on the bed, and Mrs. Lin was leaning over the crib, wiping the baby's body and changing diapers, and was busy.
Although Nan Bu fell in confinement, Boss Huang did not dare to act rashly, knowing that he was not Nan Bu Nan's opponent at all.
I only heard Nan Bu and asked, "Mrs. Lin, does the third brother have any news?"
Mrs. Lin said, "I haven't heard of it. ”
"Why is it that as soon as people leave, there is no news? ”
Mrs. Lin said: "He has many friends, so he has a lot of things, and he can't be separated for a while, and there are also them." ”
Nan Bu said: "Sometimes I think about it, it's a loss to marry him, I didn't even come to accompany me when I had a child, but I wanted to marry him, as if I owed him in my previous life." ”
Mrs. Lin said: "Many things are predestined, don't fall, don't think too much." ”
Next, what do they say, Boss Huang doesn't want to hear it anymore, it's enough, you have to go, in case Third Brother Liu comes back, he won't be able to leave.
He stomped over, tiptoeed, leaned against the wall, walked to a corner of the backyard, and flew out of the high wall with a little under his feet.
In Nanjing, the place where the flush goes the most is near the gate of the waterway compound, he thought, if the master wants to find out the truth of the unjust case, he will definitely go to the waterway, and when he arrives at the waterway, of course, he must enter the waterway gate, here, the possibility of finding the master is the greatest.
Perhaps, the Master has passed in front of him many times, and he is so good at disguise that no one recognizes him.
Master's sharp eyes must have recognized me, but he just didn't say it.
Whether Liu Sange recognized the straight flush or not, only God knows.
In fact, there are really people who recognize a straight flush, it is none other than the little dragon head.
Two days ago, the little dragon head came out of the waterway gate in a carved open-top carriage, and immediately a group of small beggers surrounded it and shouted: "Little owner, it's good, give a few copper plates, and eat together." ”
In this area, everyone who asks for food knows that the little dragon head has a good heart and often helps them, and he is happy to meet him, and he gives a lot.
Today, the weather is good, and in the past few days, Liu Sange and Nan Bu have not heard from each other, and it seems that they are safe and sound, so Xiaolongtou is in a very good mood. Seeing a group of ragged little begging for food, rushing towards him, countless dirty little hands, holding broken bowls, asked him for food, his heart softened, opened the drawer in the carriage, grabbed out a handful of loose silver, and threw it to the little flower child.
The little ones who asked for food rushed to the ground to grab the silver, broke the bowl and threw it, ping-pong, broke the ground, and some even fought.
The open-top carriage passed by, and the little dragon head leaned on the rail, laughing, and said: "Don't rob, don't fight, fight again, don't give it in the future,"
A few little people who were fighting called Hanako, when they heard what the little owner said, immediately stopped and said, "Little owner, let's stop fighting." ”
Xiaolongtou said: "If you pick up more silver, you should even it, and if you pick up less, you will be your own brothers, and you must not bully the weak." ”
A few older children, who were so obedient, divided the money.
Xiaolongtou said: "Yes, you have to be righteous, good job." Goodbye, boys. ”
He waved his hand to the little yelling flower, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a small begging for food sitting under the eaves of the porch across the road, with a broken basket and a dog beating stick beside him, indifferent to the silver, which one is asking for food, when his eyes turned to the small begging for food, he turned his head, as if he was watching a fruit seller doing business.
Hey, who's Xiao Yaofan?
The little dragon head has sharp eyes, takes a closer look, and smiles, although his face is smeared with pot ash, from the side, the head shape, neck, nose and auricle, the lines are clear, too familiar, not who is the straight flush!
Xiao Longtou said to Sikong Qing, a cronie beside him: "Look, the little flower on the other side of the road, did you see the one who was sitting?" ”
Sikong Qing said: "I saw it." ”
"Get out of the car for a while, quietly follow Xiao Yuhua, find his whereabouts, don't alarm him, when you come back, report to me, this matter is top secret. ”
Sikong Qing understands that the top secret means that everything called Huazi can only be reported to Xiao Longtou, and must not be disclosed to anyone else, even if it is his Lao Tzu Long Changjiang.
Follow the little faucet, he can be considered to have figured out, both good and bad, as long as you are obedient, will never treat you badly; if you are disobedient, the consequences are very serious, at the least, drive out of the waterway, or at worst, let you disappear, it is not a joke.
Sikong Qing secretly followed for a day, found the foothold of the little dragon's head: the Land Temple and the Daomao Temple, and went back to report to the little dragon's head.
Keeping an eye on the gate of the waterway, in addition to the straight flush, there is another person, that is, the weasel.
Since he witnessed the flush, three times and two divided by two, and put down the demon king of the mixed world, he was convinced, Brother Shunfeng turned out to be a secret agent of the waterway boss Long Yangtze River, with unique skills, and he was very powerful. If you find a big mouth, big brother, you can completely make a big mouth.
Revenge, yes, fell on Big Brother Shunfeng.
I have to do something for my eldest brother, help him find Liu Sange, although Liu Sange is a hero, in order to take revenge, I can't take care of so much, but, after the fact, I will definitely not want a little bit of silver, finding the hero Liu Sange is a crime, the guilty will have retribution, not retribution in this life, retribution in the next life, do this kind of unsightly deed, I call Huazi is helpless, as for the reward, the money is dirty, I don't want a son, even to be a beggar for a lifetime, Lao Tzu doesn't want dirty money.
The good guys and the bad guys are enemies, and the good guys and the good guys are sometimes the opposites, which he really can't figure out.
Brother Shunfeng and Third Brother Liu are both good people, but they have become inseparable enemies.
Hey, for this, the weasel is very entangled in his heart.
Tangled and entangled, the deep hatred of the sea of blood is still greater than the sky.
Brother Shunfeng is a man of words, as long as I find Third Brother Liu for my eldest brother, my eldest brother will definitely find a big mouth for me, unless Big Mouth dies. The weasel is convinced of this.
Early this morning, the weasel was wandering around the gate of the waterway, his eyes wandering, keeping an eye on everyone entering and leaving the waterway.
The straight flush was afraid that the people of the waterway would recognize him, so he could only stare at the gate from a distance, not daring to get too close.
The weasel is different, he has no scruples, he often looks at the gate, at most he is scolded by the gatekeeper, he is thick-skinned, scolds and scolds, comes and returns, the gatekeeper is anxious, Lao Tzu runs a hanging, Lao Tzu does not steal, two does not rob, what are you afraid of, look at it, you are a watchdog, what do you have to do, you can still put Lao Tzu.
The gatekeeper, he really didn't have a trick, who can get along with a little flower, hey, no father and no mother, blame the pitiful.
Early this morning, as the weasel was walking towards the gate of the waterway, a black carriage came at a hurry, brushed past him, and the man who drove the carriage scolded: "Little beast, get out of the way, you are tired!"
The weasel was really numb, jumped to the side in fright, and muttered: "You're tired of living, why are you running so fast, go to report to Lord Yama." ”
The black carriage ran to the gate of the waterway, stopped, and with a bang, the door opened, and a big man wearing a black cloak and a black silver-brimmed top hat with a low brim of the hat covered most of his face, jumped off the carriage, and walked towards the gate of the waterway without looking back.
The wind was strong by the river, a gust of wind blew, blowing away the big man's black top hat, the big man reached out to grab it, grabbed a void, the hat fell to the ground, the brim of the hat was like a wheel, and rolled on the ground, rolling to the feet of the weasel, the weasel hurriedly picked up the top hat, walked towards the big man, returned the big hat of the big man, and usually gave a few rewards.
The weasel handed the black top hat to the big man, who took out a copper plate from his arms, stuffed it into the weasel's hand, and said, "Thank you, little brother." ”
The weasel held the copper plate in his hand and was stunned, isn't the big man in front of him just a big mouth? He has been looking for the enemy for six whole years, and he is even looking for it in his dreams.
There is a green mark above the left eye, with a big tooth and a big mouth, yes, it is the robber who killed his family, and the weasel let go of his hand, and the copper plate slid from between his fingers.
Big mouth said: "What's the matter, too little?"
The weasel came to his senses, forced himself to compose, and said, "Give more, boss." ”
The big mouth laughed, took out a handful of copper plates from his arms again, and stuffed them in his hands, this time, the weasel grabbed it, and the copper plate did not fall off.
The big mouth turned around and left, it seems that he has something urgent to do, and he doesn't have time to take care of a little flower child.
The weasel watched Big Mouth walk towards the waterway compound and whispered to the porter, and then, as soon as the porter waved, a bodyguard came out and accompanied Big Mouth into the compound.
The big mouth black carriage stopped next to the gate, and the weasel stared at the black carriage not far away, and after a while, the big mouth was going to come out, and he would definitely take this car back, and Lao Tzu had to follow and find his address.
The opportunity for revenge has finally come, thank God.
By the way, I'll have to rent a carriage, or I'll be able to keep up with the big mouth, get into the black carriage, and run.
The weasel has more than one or two silver in his pocket, one or two silver is the hard-earned money given by the flush, and dozens of copper plates, which are coming, he has never rented a carriage, I don't know how much it costs to rent a car? I don't know if the money in his pocket is enough?
These days, his money doesn't have to honor the demon king of the mixed world, so he can save money in his pocket.
The weasel found a dilapidated two-wheeled carriage, and it is estimated that it will not be expensive to rent such a car.
He said to the car owner, "Rent a car." ”
The owner of the car held the whip pole, sat on the seat of the car and took a nap, heard someone rent a car, opened his eyes, and saw that it was a little flower child, he looked the weasel up and down, thought he had heard it wrong, and said: "What, you don't want money, it's a car rental?"
"What, no?"
The car boss smiled: "Okay, yes, you have to have money." ”
The weasel took out the silver from his arms, lit up in front of the car boss, and said, "Look, the silver is there, and you are indispensable." ”
The owner asked, "Where are you going?"
The weasel pointed to the distance and said, "I asked you to follow that black car, where it goes, where we can go too, how much does it cost to rent your car for a day?"
When the car boss saw that the business was coming, and he was a half-old child, he might as well lie to him and said, "That, it's not cheap, you have to pay a tael of silver." ”
The weasel said happily: "One or two is one or two, but you can't let the people in the black car find out, you have to follow from a distance." ”
The car boss regretted that he had quoted a low price just now, but it was difficult to change his words, and said, "This is okay, but what are you following them for?"
The weasel's immature face was old-fashioned, and said: "If you are told to follow, you will follow, don't ask questions, tell you honestly, Lao Tzu is a cronie of the waterway boss Long Yangtze River, this matter is confidential, it is strictly forbidden to publicize it, if you leak the secret, Lao Tzu will let you not eat, go around." ”
The owner of the car will be suspicious, this little doll is really angry, maybe there are some origins, you have to be careful, a car driver, can not offend the waterway.
The weasel jumped into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and opened a slit with his hand, staring at the black carriage with a big mouth.
He also said: "Boss Che, lean the carriage forward again, and pull it down when you can barely get it, if you pull it down, Lao Tzu won't pay for the car." ”
The car boss said: "Don't worry, I've been driving the carriage for more than 20 years, and I rely on this to eat. ”
