Fierce wife and sister-in-law

Chapter 127 Are you too dark?

At that time, Li Xizhu was curious and walked through the crowd. He saw an old man in his fifties with a table covered with red cloth in front of him.

There were three upside-down rice bowls placed on it, with three small red balls in one hand and a chopstick in the other.

Then under the watchful eyes of everyone, he dunked three red balls into three bowls.

Then he looked at everyone and asked,

"Watch carefully, whichever bowl I point to with the chopsticks in my hand, the red ball in this bowl will go to which bowl. Do you believe it?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone from the crowd watching the excitement shouted.

"Impossible, you can do it for us once if you can."

"Okay, all readers, please keep your eyes open for me."

As he spoke, the old man clenched the chopsticks in his hand, tapped the first rice bowl, then quickly moved towards the second rice bowl and said something.

"Enter,"

After saying this, he glanced at everyone pretending to be mysterious, but did not lift the buttoned rice bowl. Instead, he heard someone in the crowd shout anxiously,

"Hurry up and open it. Let's see if the ball is in the bowl. Come on, come on."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, don't worry, I'll be here soon."

The old man whetted everyone's appetite, and then slowly, with everyone suffocating to the point of making no sound, he opened the bowl. Then Li Xizhu saw two extra red balls under the bowl.

When the old man opened the first bowl, the facade was empty, and a burst of applause broke out.

Then the old man's technique became faster and faster, from one bowl to another. The speed made many onlookers scream in surprise.

Until the climax of the atmosphere ended, the old man put away his hand, swept away the many people and said with a smile,

"Everyone has seen the excitement, so how about we have some fun next time?"

This was originally a stall set up next to the casino, so naturally there were more gamblers. When the old man said this, they first became excited.

He kept making noises, asking the old man to quickly take out the fun things.

"Everyone, listen to me. After a while, I was still holding these three red balls. This time I didn't use chopsticks, just two rice bowls.

In front of everyone's eyes, I used these two bowls to dunk three red balls. Everyone guessed how many balls were dunked in each rice bowl. Whoever guessed correctly won ten cents. If anyone guessed wrong, of course, Then you have to give me ten cents, what do you think? "

"Hey, hurry up, hurry up, do it a few times and let's see."

Several gamblers were already eager to try. The old man took his time, smiled slightly, and started to dunk three red balls with two rice bowls.

This time the action was very slow. Anyone who is not blind can basically see which rice bowl the old man dunked the red ball into.

"Okay, stop."

A gambler shouted, and the old man stopped obediently.

"Here, there are two in here, and one in here. If I guess wrong, I'll knock my eyes out."

"Then guess it, am I going to open it?"

"Stop fucking nonsense and hurry up."

The gambler could not wait to open the rice bowl that the old man was holding. The old man slowly opened the bowl, and the place was so quiet that he could hear the sound of a leaf falling to the ground.

"Ha, I won, I won, that's what I'm saying, if I see it wrong, take off my eyeballs."

The gambler smiled and took the ten cents from the old man's hand, and the game continued.

There were more people participating this time, and it seemed that the old man didn't win a few times.

But the old man still smiled without hesitation, which immediately made Li Xizhu, who just came to watch the excitement, feel itchy in his heart. Compared with the tiring work of carrying a bag, this is much faster than getting money. As a result, when his head became hot, he also put down all the money he had earned in the past few days.

The methods of this kind of deception are the same. At first, Li Xizhu and some people won. The more they won, the more they wanted to win. Then after winning more than a dozen games, Li Xizhu started to lose.

If Li Xizhu had stopped at this time, it might still be too late, but with the atmosphere up to this point, how could Li Xizhu have thought of stopping in time.

All he could think about was how to win back the money he lost, and then the more he wanted to win, the more he lost.

He could see clearly, but as soon as he opened his job, something went wrong. In the end, Li Xizhu began to wonder if he could no longer keep his eyes.

While playing, Li Xizhu not only lost all the money he won, but also all the money in his pocket.

Even if he stopped at this time, he would lose a small amount of money, but Li Xizhu, who was furious, not only did not stop, but also borrowed five taels of silver from the casino.

As expected, they all lost everything. At this moment, Li Xizhu came to his senses, grabbed his head and squatted at the base of the wall in despair, watching others continue to gamble.

Knowing that he had been cheated, it was too late for Li Xizhu to run away. The casino owner took him directly to a nearby quarry and asked him to work there to make money to pay off his gambling debts.

After arriving here, Li Xizhu realized that most of the people working here were foreigners defrauded by the casino in this way, and Li Xizhu was one of them.

They say they work to make money, but in fact the little money they earn is not even enough to pay back the interest. The people in the casino and the stone quarry are all in the same group.

Ever since Li Xizhu and the others stepped into this place, they had no intention of letting them leave.

But how could Li Xizhu, who felt tired even carrying a bag, do such a heavy job?

But it was almost impossible to escape from this quiet place. There were people everywhere guarding them. If they were caught, they would be beaten to death if not dead.

Even if you lock people directly in a small dark room and starve them for a few days, they will become honest.

Li Xizhu observed the situation here while enduring extremely physical labor, and finally one day the opportunity came.

A guy who miscalculated his accounts was severely beaten and almost killed. Li Xizhu hurriedly ran over and said that he was literate and could keep accounts.

In this way, under the hesitation of these people, Li Xizhu recalculated the account books. The manager saw that he was a talent and left him to help with the accounting.

Although Li Xizhu no longer has to do strenuous work, it is still difficult to escape.

It wasn't until months later that he found his chance.

That day, the person in charge asked him to follow the people purchasing supplies to the county town to buy some food and come back. Li Xizhu took advantage of this opportunity and escaped halfway.

What about Wang Xuemei and Li Xuemei? All Li Xizhu thought about after escaping was to go home. As long as he returned home, he would be safe.

Then in the morning light of the day when Tian Rong was almost hit by the old house, he finally returned to Xuri Village.

"No, no, no, brother, let's discuss it, okay?"

Looking at Tian Rong's fierce eyes, Li Xizhu knew that he hated himself even more.

On the way back from his mother-in-law's house, he met Liang Cong. After the two had a fight, Tian Rong ignored him.

Li Xizhu had been thinking about how to ease the relationship between himself and Tian Rong these days, but something like this happened at this time. It seemed that it was such a coincidence that he was unlucky.

"If you owe money and pay back your debt, it's a waste of discussion."

As he spoke, the big man took out an IOU from his pocket and shouted loudly, "Li Xizhu, is this the IOU you wrote?"

"Yes, I wrote it. I admit it, but you forced me to do it."

"Don't fucking talk nonsense. It's you who wrote it. The principal plus interest is a total of one hundred and fifty-five taels. But my boss was kind and said that you would debit the account for us. He would erase the change and give it to one hundred and fifty-five taels. Both are done.”

"Ah! One hundred and fifty taels? Are you too dark?"
