    Guan Er sat down on the cloud viewing platform and burst into tears. Zhao Ran sighed as he watched, and said earnestly: "How can a man cry like this? Isn't it just that he lost some money? Money is an external possession.  Just keep an open mind. It is said that the road of life is still very long. As long as our hearts are full of ideals, we can face setbacks bravely. Even if the road ahead is full of pits, can we get up and continue"

    Guan Er cried: "I'm crawling on your mother's side. My wife has already lost, yet she's still crawling like a bird! My wife"

    Zhao Ran said angrily: "How can you curse someone when you're so good?Huh? Your wife lost? What happened? I remember that's not the case. It was Zhuangzi you lost. By the way, there is also a tea mountain"

    Guan Er woke up and had runny nose, and continued to cry: "That tea mountain, you can't lose"

    Zhao Ran was surprised: "Isn't it just a tea mountain? I can get two thousand silver coins from the sky, so why can't I afford to lose?" Now that he has a lot of money, he really has the confidence to speak.

    But Guan Er raised his head, wiped the tears from his face, and said: "The tea mountain is a gift from the emperor, how can you dare to export it?"

    Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then said disdainfully: "You know it is a gift from the emperor, but you still keep it on the gambling table. Isn't this a shame?"

    Guan Er raised his palm and slapped his face repeatedly. As he slapped him, he said, "I was all obsessed with it. At that time, I thought that even if I lost, they wouldn't dare to take it away But who would have thought, who would have thought that they would let me treat me as a wife?"  As a pledge, I was so squeezed that I couldn¡¯t get off the stage and my head was dizzy, so I agreed"

    Zhao Ran shook his head, thinking that this was really his own fault, and he had no intention of caring about him, so he decided to let him fend for himself.  He turned around and took two steps. His heart moved, and he came back, squatting in front of Guan Er, and asked, "I heard that you have great luck, especially at the gambling table."

    Guan Er had already cried so much that he was sitting on the ground numbly, shaking his head blankly: "Guan has never lost at the gambling table in his life. I thought it was fate, but I didn't expect it to be God's deliberate punishment.  I will never gamble again, never gamble again"

    Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "Well, it's good to have this awareness, but well, you can gamble again."

    Guan Er shook his head: "Where can I still have money to gamble? Now I don't even dare to go back to the escort agency. If I go back, my uncle will have to kill me"

    Zhao Ran has decided to take another big shot and save the second brother Guan in front of him at the same time, so he said: "In this way, I have one thousand six hundred taels here"

    Guan Er smiled bitterly: "To be honest, Brother Zhao, I don't have the guts to gamble anymore. If I lose, what can I give you in return other than my life? If I die then, it will be all for one, but your more than one thousand taels of silver will be enough."  It¡¯s all wasted.¡±

    Zhao Ran smiled: "You have no courage? Then I will give you courage!" At that moment, he revealed all the tricks of Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze, and even explained the tricks on Pai Gow clearly.

    After Guan Er heard this, he became furious and stood up, but was grabbed by Zhao Ran: "What are you doing?"

    "Go kill those two bastards!"

    Zhao Ran desperately held Guan Er back: "What are you talking about? Do you have any evidence? Who will believe you? Let's agree first, I won't be your witness, so don't hurt me!"

    Guan Er stared at his eyes and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

    Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Of course you get up wherever you fall! Just pretend you don't know and ask them to bet again. Do you think you can win?"

    Guan Er thought for a while, nodded and said: "Now that you know the trick, you are not afraid anymore."

    Zhao Ran asked worriedly: "Let's talk about it first, you must win!"

    Guan Er smiled and regained his strong self-confidence: "I have always been very lucky, plus they don't know that I know the tricks. With this, I can guarantee victory!"

    Zhao Ran gritted his teeth, took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms, and stuffed them into Guan Er's hand: "Take it, go and turn over the book, we will win half of it!"

    Guan Er took the bank note solemnly, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Ran: "Brother Zhao, I am so kind and virtuous, Guan is beyond words, please accept me!"

    Zhao Ran quickly pulled him up: "Why are we all friends, haha!"

    The two of them walked down the mountain side by side and returned to the base of the back garden wall. They saw Guan Er running three steps quickly, stepping on the wall with one foot, and then pulled up with a whoosh. With a flip of his hand, he climbed up ten feet.  Very high walls.

    Zhao Ran swallowed dryly, envious in his heart, but he could only find the long rope and climb up with difficulty while holding on to the rope.  When he was halfway up, a strong force came from his clothes, but it was Guan Er who pulled him up from the wall.

    Back in the small courtyard, the two of them said goodbye. Guan Er went back to the north room, and Zhao Ran went back to the west room.

    It¡¯s time to be uglyZhao Ran then went to clean up the house with Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai.  While working, Zhao Ran thought of that sloppy old Taoist and asked Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai, but he didn't expect that the two of them didn't know anything about it. They only said that the Yunshui Hall in Wujiyuan was the living place of Taoist priests from out of town, and there were often  Taoist priests came to stay, but no one really cared about it.

    At breakfast the next day, Guan Er was still missing. After Zhao Ran had slept through it, he heard news from Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai. Guan Er had made an appointment with Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze, and the fourth "Three Heroes Game" would be held tomorrow night.  .

    That night, when Zhao Ran, Jiao Tan, and Zhou Huai were sweeping the house, they bumped into several groups of Huoju who were walking in a hurry, including many Taoist chanting boys from the sutra hall.

    Zhao Ran was puzzled and asked Jiao Tan. Jiao Tan looked unhappy and said that these people sneaked out of Wujiyuan and went down the mountain to raise money. After speaking, he spat hard and said: "These gangs of evildoers are looking for death."  You gamblers! You will lose everything tomorrow!" Zhao Ran observed the words and felt that Jiao Tan might not be sincere in what he said. He guessed that if Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai had a way to raise money, they might have slipped out of the mountain gate by now.

    Sure enough, after dinner on the second day, Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai came to Zhao Ran and begged Zhao Ran to lend them some gambling capital.  Zhao Ran did not refuse, he generously opened his bag and lent each of them fifty taels, and kindly reminded them that when they bet tonight, they must bet on Guan Er.  After the two of them left with the money in their hands, Zhao Ran couldn't help but sigh for a while.

    Counting it all together, it has been less than two months since I left Zhaozhuang, Shiquan County, but in these short days, my life has undergone earth-shaking changes, just like the world has changed.  I almost lost my life for a mere ten taels of silver before, suffered so much, suffered so many sins, but now I borrowed a hundred taels without blinking an eye.  Speaking of which, it¡¯s really my feelings are so complicated that I can¡¯t express them in words.

    After sighing for a while, Zhao Ran began to worry about the gambling game again.  After all, that is more than a thousand taels of silver, not a small amount. If Guan Er really loses, although he will not jump off the cliff, he will be extremely sad, right?

    Pretending to be calm, I came to the dining hall, but I saw that the room was already brightly lit and full of people.  Zhao Ran was not in the mood to place bets on the betting table anymore. He even did not dare to watch the battle on the gambling table. He just paced back and forth outside the dining hall, feeling uneasy and extremely entangled in his heart.

    Hearing the roar of cheers and curses in the dining hall, Zhao Ran could only take a long and deep breath to calm his inner anxiety.

    I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but there was a loud shout from hundreds of people in the dining hall. Zhao Ran turned his head to the door, only to see that the dining hall began to disperse and everyone was leaving.  Zhao Ran caught a glimpse of Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai in the crowd, took a few steps forward and asked, "How are you doing?"

    However, Zhou Huai was crestfallen and silent, while Jiao Tan's eyes flickered, avoiding Zhao Ran's gaze.  Zhao Ran asked: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

    Jiao Tan said with a sad face: "We lose, we all lose"

    Zhao Ran's heart sank and he said anxiously: "How could he lose? It's impossible!" More than a thousand taels of silver was his entire family property. He hadn't held it tightly, but it was gone again. No one could bear it.  This blow.

    "I just heard Jiao Tan say: "It's really evil today. It's obvious that Guan Er's luck has been lost. Who would have thoughtBrother Zhao, I regret not listening to you. I'm really frustrated!"

    "Ah? You are betting on Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze." Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.  This turn of events was so sudden that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

    Just as he was about to ask more questions, he saw Guan Er striding out of the dining hall with a calm expression and a smile on his face. The short fat man behind him who was cleaning the room had heavy packages on both arms and followed Guan Er happily.  , a group of lay people who clean the house and work on fire gathered behind them.

    When passing by Zhao Ran, Guan Er nodded slightly and whispered: "See you at the same place later."

    Zhao Ran's tense mind suddenly relaxed, and he felt his legs were trembling.
