Yu Sheng went to bed late and woke up early, and had to take a nap after breakfast. Therefore, in the inn in the early morning, Bai Xingxin was the only one left alone.
As soon as he placed the chessboard pieces he bought yesterday on the long table, Ye Zigao walked down.
Ye Zigao was wearing a gray short coat. The clothes were very small and tight on his body, revealing his white arms and legs.
After seeing the chessboard, he leaned over and said, "Come on, let's play a game."
There is nothing wrong with being happy.
When Luo Zi was about to fall, Mr. Ye raised his head and disappeared from Yu Sheng, and whispered: "Xiao Bai, is there something wrong with the shopkeeper here?"
He pointed to his head.
Bai Gaoxing said in surprise: "Have you discovered all this?"
Mr. Ye nodded, "Yesterday he was sitting on the counter talking to the air. He really scared me and I didn't dare to eat more."
Bai Gaoxing sighed and said: "The shopkeeper's disease is all caused by love. Not to mention talking to the air, he also talks to donkeys and foxes."
Ye Zigao was surprised, "Being hurt by love? The shopkeeper realized it early enough."
"What's the use of being enlightened early? I was deceived by my little lover's sweet words." Bai Gaoxing said.
Ye Zigao Bagua said: "How did you cheat?"
Bai Gaoxing couldn't make it up any more. He shook his head and said, "It's hard to explain in a nutshell. You should also pay attention to what you say. The shopkeeper hates it when others lie to him."
Ye Zigao nodded and said, "You lose."
Bai Gaoxing was startled. He was just trying to fool him and accidentally let him kill his big dragon.
"Come again, come again." Bai Xingxing was unconvinced.
"Sure, but it's too boring to play like this." Ye Zigao said.
Bai Gaoxing was eager to regain his place, "How to play?"
"How about we add a little bonus, ten cents?"
Bai Gaoxing was still rational, "Do you have money on you?"
"I have paid for my work." Ye Zigao said.
Bai Gaoxing agreed after thinking for a while.
When Yu Sheng came downstairs yawning, Bai Gaoxing and Ye Zigao were in the middle of a fight. The old monk and his disciples were sitting next to them, and no one greeted them.
Ye Zi raised his head to see him and said happily: "Shopkeeper, after finishing this dish, I only need to do odd jobs for a hundred days."
For the rest of my life, I wondered, "Why?"
Ye Zigao weighed the coins in his hand proudly, "I won."
"Is there any lottery left?" Yu Sheng walked over, took a quick look, and snatched the copper coins from Ye Zigao's hand. "Gambling is prohibited in the inn, and all gambling funds will be confiscated for violators."
"Why, I deserve this." Ye Zigao Buyi was suppressed by Yu Sheng with the help of Bai Gaoxing, and he could only pour the swill in anger.
After he left, Bai Gaoxing stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper..."
Yu Sheng put the copper coins back into his arms and said, "What are you doing? I confiscated this based on my ability."
He pointed at the chessboard and said with a smile: "How about we play a few more games and I let you win the money back?"
After suffering a setback, he gained wisdom. Bai Gaoxing had just been fooled, and seeing that he was full of confidence for the rest of his life, how could he be willing to suffer losses again? He quickly shook his head and said, "I won't come, I won't come."
Yu Sheng picked up the black and white pieces on the chessboard and put them into the chess cage. "Well, let's play a simple game of backgammon to give you a chance to win back your money."
"Backgammon?" Bai Gaoxing had never played it before and looked at Yu Sheng in confusion.
Yu Sheng placed three five-piece continuations horizontally, vertically, and diagonally on the chessboard, and said, "This will count as a win. It's very simple."
Bai Gaoxing saw that the rules were simple and much easier than talking and sitting in seclusion, but he still said cautiously: "Let's play one or two games first."
"Okay." Yu Sheng took back the chess pieces, each holding his own right and wrong. He first pretended to reluctantly win one game, and then deliberately lost another.
Because the rules of backgammon are simple and it is easy to cheat on the level of chess skills, Bai Gaoxuan really believed it.
In the third game, he couldn't wait to say: "Come on, come on, I'll add some bonuses."
"Stop once I win your money back." I will never forget to show weakness to the enemy for the rest of my life.
Bai happily said: "No problem."
The fighting on the chessboard started again. Yu Sheng barely won one game, then lost another completely. After winning two more games, he lost another.
Winning becomes more and more "difficult" for the rest of my life, but when Bai is happy and almost despairs, he immediately loses a round neatly.
Bai Gaoxing was already red-eyed. It wasn't until Ye Zigao came in after finishing his work and said unconvinced: "Shopkeeper, you are guarding yourself against theft. Didn't you say that gambling is not allowed in the inn?"
Yu Sheng weighed the copper coins in his hand and said, "Yes, gambling is prohibited in the inn."
"The gambling capital will be confiscated." Ye Zigao stretched out his hand.
Yu Sheng glanced at him and put the copper coins in his arms, "Only the innkeeper has the power to confiscate gambling funds. Well, now I have punished myself."
Ye Zigao was dumbfounded, and Yu Sheng went to the backyard with a proud smile.
The Heavenly Master looked at the chessboard and muttered: "I almost won."
Ye Zi pushed him up, "Why win? The shopkeeper has much more copper coins than you lost to me."
It happened that Yu Sheng was shouting in the backyard: "Ye Gong, teach me how to talk some other time, and I will also find a way to make money."
Tianshi suddenly realized it and regretted it. Just now, Yu Sheng really wanted him to win the money back, but he was just happy that he was suspicious and missed it.
After a while, the martial artist who protected the traveling merchant yesterday came downstairs. When he saw the old monk, he cupped his hands and said, "Master..."
"Here it is." Yu Sheng walked out, "I have already solved your matter."
The martial artist didn't believe him and looked at the old monk. The old monk said: "If the donor doesn't let go, listen to the shopkeeper."
Yu Sheng sat down, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "That female ghost is really the owner of the bones you buried."
The martial artist glanced at the old monk and saw that he didn't refute, and said in surprise: "She, why is she pestering me?"
"There is indeed something wrong with the tea at the tea stall." Yu Sheng said, pulling Ye Gao over, "He was also one of the victims."
"Yes, yes." Ye Zigao said, "In that tea shed, you can see two monsters, one is Huang Xian'er, and the other is also Huang Xian'er."
"That mother Huang Xian'er looks good..." Ye Zi said high-spiritedly, but was pushed away by Yu Sheng. You think you are Brother Xun, you are insulting your idol.
Yu Sheng continued: "At first she just wanted to remind you that there was something fishy about the tea, so she didn't say anything about it."
"Then later..."
"I want to thank you in person, but who knew you might have misunderstood her."
Yu Sheng looked at the woman behind him, "She is also upright. The more she is misunderstood, the more she wants to explain clearly, so that's why."
The martial artist looked back at the old monk, and when he saw the old monk nodding, he believed a little.
After Yu Sheng asked him to go upstairs and check with the next four men, the martial artist realized that if the female ghost hadn't reminded him, they would have been in Huang Xian'er's belly.
After a long silence, the martial artist said: "Please, the shopkeeper, thank the girl for me."
Yu Sheng looked at the female ghost behind him. Although her eyes were covered by black cloth, a smile was already on her lips, "She has heard it."
The martial artist was startled, looked around carefully, and said hesitantly: "We are now settled. Boss, can you tell her not to pester me again in the future?"
The smile that Yu Sheng saw the female ghost disappeared in the blink of an eye.
For the rest of my life, I felt that she was a bit pitiful. She was kidnapped by monsters, raped and killed. Did she have to have regrets before reincarnation?
Yu Sheng decided to help her, so he said: "Fate is rare. In the boundless wilderness, we happen to meet each other no matter how early or late. Even if the roads are different, even if they are like passing water, we might as well say "treasure" safely, so why rush to pass each other?
What happened? Buddha once said that it took five hundred years of looking back to pass this life by chance. Young man, you have to cherish it."
I was already hypocritical enough, but Yu Sheng saw that this martial artist was still hesitating.
I just want you to say goodbye and let her go on her way in peace, that's all.
Yu Sheng then acted again and said: "Hey, actually I envy you quite a bit. Do you want to hear my, no, the story of a scholar?"
