Chapter 13 The King of Gambling is alive, the God of Wealth is possessed
During the few days in the town, I followed Na Miantang to get familiar with the town. One day, he mysteriously led me to a nearby village.
We went in a carriage. When the coachman stopped the carriage at the entrance of the village, we were both still dozing off. The coachman tightened the reins, shouted "Oh" and said: "Wake up, you two, Liujia Village
arrive."
The two of us opened the door curtain and jumped out of the car, and the world we saw was like a "Peach Blossom Land". But we saw smoke curling up, clouds and mist lingering, and a clear blue stream flowing through the village, quietly irrigating the distance.
The countryside.
I was startled for a while. When I walked forward, the breeze carried a fresh fragrance of jasmine. When I turned around to look, I saw a huge tea garden on the top of the mountain. The tea garden was full of jasmine flowers as white as jade, which filled the heart and spleen.
The fragrance makes people linger. Several tea-picking girls are picking tea, drinking folk songs while picking tea leaves:
Where is the zenith? It's raining boy, it's bombing, it's thunder, it's my gong, it's my gong.
The bottom of the creek is the waterless boy
The fish is so messy and bumpy.
Where do you love me, grandma? No, you dare to talk about it.
There is no matchmaker to look for.
Douyo, this place is so empty...
As I listened to several girls singing in unison, I couldn't help but feel a little bit in a fairyland. I sighed: "This place is really a fairyland... By the way, Mian Tang, do you know what they are singing?"
Na Miantang smiled: "It is said that a young man likes a girl, but he never dares to express it, so he wants to find a matchmaker to help him negotiate. He said that Mao Jiujiu likes Na Miantang——"
I blushed slightly, sneered and said with a smile: "Bah, come on, others still know how to find a matchmaker, but you, you are not even willing to find a matchmaker...you dragged me and ran away." I knew I had made a mistake,
He quickly covered his mouth.
Na Miantang burst out laughing, and I actually fell into his trap. Recently, I have become accustomed to this kind of "flirting" conversation.
I asked him: "Who should we go to? Hurry up."
"A long-time friend of my adoptive father is an old man in his seventies. The head of his family is on the mountainside and is about to arrive."
When we climbed the mountain and reached the mountainside, the first thing we saw was an orderly vegetable garden. Various fruits and vegetables were grown in different areas of the garden. All the crops were green and green, showing a prosperous scene.
When I saw this vegetable garden, I felt more cordial, and my joy was beyond words. I grabbed Miantang's arm and said, "You must plant some Jiangxi in your villa. Don't plant flowers and grass, which is a waste of land."
He looked at me sideways and said, "You have gone from being a vegetable farmer to a master of fighting. This journey of struggle is not an ordinary one."
"Is there any difference between holding a sickle and a machete? I'll chop you." I pretended to be fierce and beat him. He couldn't help but smile secretly while using his hands to resist me.
I accidentally entered the vegetable garden while running to fight. However, just as I was about to take three steps, I suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from under my feet: "Don't move!"
I was startled. When I looked down, I saw an old man lifting up the green straw mat covering his body and getting up from the ground. This old man had just been covered with grass and was almost the same color as the vegetable field. If not for it,
He shouted in time, and I almost stepped on him.
I was stunned when the old man crawled to my feet, opened the soles of my feet with his hands, and picked up an earthworm whose tail I had stepped on.
The old man raised Earthworm in front of him and said to himself as if he was talking to himself: "Earthworm, I won't let you out until I tell you. The world is dangerous. Don't run around. You'll get hurt easily. Go back. Go back."
Come to your home and return to the embrace of the dirt father." As he said this, he dug a small hole in the soil and put the earthworms in it.
I looked at this weird old man very curiously. The old man had already stood up. He had big jagged yellow teeth, prominent rosacea, and confused speech, but he looked carefully at him with a pair of old but twinkling eyes.
Me, the leopard's eyes were wider than a lantern, and I quickly said: "Old sir, we came from the neighboring village to look for someone, and I'm sorry for sacrificing your dream."
The old man showed an almost obscene smile again and said carelessly: "Listen to what this girl says, she is as beautiful as she looks!"
I was so angry that I wanted to scold him, but when I turned around to look for Na Miantang, the reinforcement, I saw him leaning over and laughing under control.
The old man also pointed at Mian Tang's nose and picked his feet and cursed: "You brat, you finally remembered me."
Na Mian Tang bowed his hands respectfully, but said in a disrespectful manner: "Old Shang, you are such an old pervert, your sword is still young!"
The old man - Lao Shang narrowed his eyes again and asked: "Tell me, how much trouble have you caused? Your legs are a standard three-knife. Do you have to come here from Shanghai to recuperate?"
Na Miantang said calmly: "It's not a big deal, Zhang Chenglin and I took it on."
"It's just for this girl." Lao Shang stared at me for a long time with wide eyes, and suddenly said: "You should grab it, she is so beautiful, if it were me, I would grab it, it would be cool to be a ghost under the peony flower...
...Boy, finally let me see you have an advantage, hahaha."
Na Miantang narrowed his eyes, hugged my shoulders and said, "My woman."
Lao Shang looked at me like he was joking and crazy at the same time: "You have such a beautiful girl coming to my place to play, I'm afraid I won't be able to control her, and you obviously haven't fully understood the charm of my old man Shang.
I feel sorry for Wang Ya'an that it really led to a tragedy. By the way, how is Wang Ya'an doing?"
I put a thick black line on my face: "You know..."
While talking, Lao Shang led us into the inner courtyard and asked: "Who is in charge of the Qinghong Gang now, or the old boy Huo Zhuoshan?"
Na Miantang nodded: "It's him."
I had a vague feeling that this old man's previous status in the gang must have been unusual, at least above the Miantang level.
"Promising!" Lao Shang said: "Among the three young men, Du Shaoqing is the only one who has some vision and foresight. As for Zhang Chenglin, I have already said that letting him join a gang is to feed a tiger into trouble..."
Afterwards, the two of them talked secretly in the house for nearly half an hour. I was too lazy to listen to their gang talk and went out to play by myself.
When I got tired of playing, I went back to look for Mian Tang, only to find that the two people who were talking secretly were in a circle with about a dozen villagers, shouting and shouting. Mian Tang saw me coming and hurriedly took my hand over. It turned out that they were gambling.
I'm overjoyed.
In the center of the circle, Lao Shang and I nodded our heads slightly, posing as if we were about to duel.
I shouted: "Everyone, hurry up! Who wins?"
Lao Shang roared: "You still have to say it? Press me!"
But the villagers all shook their heads and said: "Old Shang, I can't suppress you anymore. If I suppress you anymore, we will all lose to this cat girl!"
"Yes, yes, our land will also be lost to her!"
"And my two cows, if we keep suppressing you, Mao Yatou will become the village chief."
I was very proud and said with a smile on my face: "Did you hear that? Do you understand what the people want? Lao Shang, do you accept it?"
Lao Shang stared out his eyes and shouted: "I don't accept it--" His saliva almost sprayed all over my face!
Miantang quickly stopped his mouth with his hands. I wiped my face and said with a smile, "Come again if you don't accept it!"
"Come on, come on, I'll go first!" After saying that, Lao Shang placed a white piece on the chessboard on the ground, and we started fighting again.
I won again. I laughed loudly and said without shame: "I was born in a casino and grew up on a gambling table. The first thing I touched when I was born was bones. The first thing I said was "Tianmen". I understood it at the age of five.
By pinching, sitting, and throwing flowers through flowers at the age of eight, you can be as beautiful as you are! Even my name is Jiujiu! Why? This is called the King of Gamblers in the world and possessed by the God of Wealth!"
The simple villagers looked adoring.
Of course, I didn't take the things I won, but all of them were attributed to Miantang, who gave me the account for the villagers, and I became a little rich woman. Anyway, he had money.
In the afternoon, Na Miantang and I left. Lao Shang gave Na Miantang a tip bag from his arms and said: "Good boy, do your best. There are many talents in this generation. Give this to Huo Zhuoshan at the critical moment. He will
You know how much respect I have."
I looked at Lao Shang's retreating figure and said, "What a strange old man."
Na Miantang snorted: "Really?"
I said seriously but also jokingly: "Yes, he is very charming. If he were twenty years younger, I would choose him."
"cut!"
For several days, he and I got along peacefully and happily.
One day after breakfast, Na Miantang said to me: "You said you want to go see the scenery, do you still want to go? It's not far from here, but the condition is that after you return to Shanghai, you and Xiao Ma Liu live with me."
"Living with you?" I said something bad and quickly covered my mouth.
He raised his head and laughed again, joking: "I'm very happy, no, no, you have a separate room, but if you are willing, I don't mind happily sharing a room with you, Maomao."
"Deal, I'll have a room."
"Okay, we'll leave in the afternoon."
I jumped for joy and pulled his arm: "Na Mian Tang, okay, I'm ready, let's leave quickly. It's not too early, I have to leave earlier. Please, Na Mian Tang."
"Why not? The weather is so nice, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it."
I stood up and prepared to run out the door. Na Miantang stopped and said, "Maomao, be careful, otherwise you will break your neck and I won't be able to take you sailing."
So I slowed down my pace and was secretly happy. It was great to have something to look forward to.
We took the train to another city, and it was already evening.
He and I were walking in this city as night fell.
"Cat, look at the sky, it seems like these stars are so close to us."
In the darkness, I noticed for the first time that I was so close to the sky. The stars in the sky were twinkling brighter than I could remember. I stretched out my hand to try and catch it. One of the stars seemed almost within my reach.
and.
Na Miantang stopped, covered my hand with his hand, and motioned me to stop too. His voice was low and kind: "That's because of the sea. There is only sea water near us. Listen carefully, you can hear the sea water.
