After Tian Fugui left with a heavy heart of lost soul, this group of gamblers also began to disperse. The onlookers who were in the vicinity of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info were all gone one after another, and there were only nine people left on the field, and these nine people were all the people who Tian Fugui saw at the beginning of the morning, those who were gambling around a clump of stones.

Among them are the girl sitting in the village, the fat man with a round face, the yellow-haired boy with the monkey cheeks with a sharp beak, and the old man in his sixties who never bets, but only talks cool words and beats the side drum next to him...... When there were only these nine people left on the field, the old man in his sixties with gray hair said to the round-faced fat man: "Chen Youneng, now that the play is over, the money you promised us should also be cashed!"

The round-faced fat man whom he called Chen Youneng seemed a little displeased to hear him call him by his name, and a look of disdain flashed across his face, and he took the lead in looking around vigilantly, and the night was getting thicker, and there was a light mist in all directions. Therefore, with a relaxed expression, he looked back at the old man, and once again let out a contemptuous sneer from the corner of his mouth.

"How much?" he asked the old man.

"Why, didn't you say that after the deed is done, each person will be five taels of silver!" the old man asked with an angry expression, staring at him.

Chen Youneng didn't seem to be afraid of him, "What are you staring at me," he suddenly sank his face, looked at the old man with an angry face, and said coldly, "You didn't do anything, standing here and watching the excitement of the day, just said a few cool words, where is it worth five taels ......of silver;

"What did you say?" At this time, the ring-eyed man with a beard on his face became agitated, and with his round eagle-like eyes, he stared at the fat man angrily and said, "Do you want to deny it?" At the same time, the yellow-haired boy with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and the other four men who did not look like Sansheng also stared at the round-faced fat man Chen Youneng, and they had the momentum to teach him a lesson on the spot.

Chen Youneng suddenly felt that the situation was pressing, so a smile that eased the atmosphere immediately flashed on his face, "Hey, Master Song, you can take it seriously if you make a joke!" He said, "I, Chen Youneng, am a manly man, and I always speak my word." It was all a joke on you just now, so you take it seriously. To tell you the truth, I really have more silver in my hand than the rice in my rice jar, and I am worried that there is no place to put it, so how can I be stingy with these forty taels of silver?"

"Oh, that's the best!" the old man, whom he called Master Song, also changed his angry expression into a sympathetic and smiling expression, he said, "It's not too early, Boss Chen, and we will settle this small deal to avoid trouble in the future." ”

At this time, the girl who had just been a banker had poured all the silver in her black cloth bag on the stone slab, forming a small mountain of silver. "Here are the hundred taels of silver you gave me in the morning," she said, pointing to the small pile of silver and a dozen jiao beside her, "these are the sixty taels of silver that won the old man just now, and the fourteen jiao, all of them are here." ”

"Okay," the round-faced fat man Chen Youneng immediately stepped forward, squatted down, and took the black empty money bag in front of the girl. Without saying a word, he first put the one hundred and two taels of silver into the bag, and then put the two ten taels of silver in the small pile into the money bag. Moreover, he also grabbed the fourteen corners that won Tian Fugui in his hand, and put them all into the money bag in his hand.

However, there were still three corners on the side of the small pile of silver, which he had just not caught, and what was left. He looked at the three bronze horns, trying to reach out and grab them, but suddenly he felt embarrassed, after all, the eight people around him were staring at him. Therefore, he looked at the girl who had been a farmer for a day and smiled.

"Miss Xiaoying, you have done a great job today, you have worked hard!" he said, "These three slots are your reward!"

Unexpectedly, the little young girl who was a village was still a woman with a lot of personality, and she immediately reached out and grabbed the three horns, and threw them into the crack of the stone beside her, and Kerala made a sound. "Not unusual!" she said angrily.

The smile on Chen Youneng's face froze suddenly, as if Miss Xiaoying did not throw the three corners in the crack of the stone, but slapped him on his fat face, which also made him sink his face immediately, "Hmph!" He pointed to the small pile of silver on the stone slab and said, "Here are forty taels, five taels for each of the eight of you, and I have paid them all!" As he spoke, he lifted the bag full of heavy silver, held it in his arms with his coat, and braved the west wind and chill of Xiao Xiao in late autumn, and got into the alley in front of him.

Watching him disappear into the dim alley, Master Song turned around, "Oops!" He let out a sigh, with a wry smile, looked at Miss Xiaoying with pity and said, "Yingzi, you really shouldn't have dumped those corners in front of him just now." After all, he is a snake on the ground, and just now he didn't want to suffer the loss in front of us because he saw that there were so many of us, so he had no choice but to leave the forty taels of silver for us in the end! Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't be so easy to talk to!"

"Daddy!" Yingzi pursed her charming thin lips, wrinkled her pair of curved willow eyebrows, and muttered, "We have worked hard all day, this is what we deserve, and he has agreed in advance, why should he regret it and repay the debt!"

"Alas!" Master Song sighed again and shook his head, "Child, it's time for you to change your impulsive and irritable temper, after all, we are people who walk the rivers and lakes, and some things need to be seen and analyzed." ”

Listening to his father say these words earnestly, Yingzi didn't say anything more, just lowered his head, and unconsciously ** the twisted braid hanging on his right shoulder.

"Master, since that's the case, just in case, let's quickly pack up our things and get out of here!" said the bearded man with round eyes anxiously.

Master Song nodded, "That makes sense," he raised his head, looking at the last remnant of the sun on the western horizon, which gradually turned into a wisp of dark clouds, and he said leisurely, "It's time for us to leave this place of right and wrong quickly!"

Several apprentices and their daughters worked together to pocket the forty taels of silver that the round-faced fat man Chen Youneng had left to them in a white clay cloth bag. At this time, Master Song had already taken the lead in walking towards the main road, and the six apprentices behind him and his daughter Song Xiaoying also immediately followed.

As the dusk thickens, the bleak west wind blows the fallen leaves on the ground and runs all over the ground, and some of them fly into the sky, like a predatory bat, and the lights of the people along the way have been turned on one after another, and the dog guarding the door will use its arrogant voice to bully and mock every passerby who walks by the door.

In the mountains and forests in the distance, through the vast wilderness, the desolate cry of the owl was sent to the ears of passers-by, making people feel that the night was bleak and terrible! Eight people walked nearly a mile along the way home of Tian Fugui, and then turned into a fork in the road leading to the field.

The moon wheel in the sky, as the night deepened, gradually revealed its pure brilliance, and in a pure moonlight like milk, the group of people in the field gradually drifted away, and at last it was completely obscured by the shadows cast by the mountains opposite. There was only a quiet and vast night left in the field, but from that small ditch, there was the sound of running water that lasted for a long time, and the murmuring sound of the water was the most beautiful and moving sound of the piano in the quiet night.
