Yang Dalang grasped this habit of Liu Changlu, and went out that day with the same door lock, always ready to break through the warehouse door and rush in to steal the shining treasure.
Everyone knows that Mr. Liu is pure-hearted, willing to do good, he is a well-known benevolent layman, but they don't know that the fireworks, willow alleys, gambling houses and archways nearby are all made by this behind-the-scenes injection of money. Ordinary people naturally don't know this. However, Yang Dalang was able to learn the secret unintentionally.
At that time, Yang Dalang had just reached the age of the crown, but his father, who was the pillar of the family, fell ill. His mother earned some pocket money by doing needlework for the rich family for ten days. After hearing this question, she washed her face with tears every day, her eyes closed I couldn't cry anymore, and I couldn't do needlework anymore, which made the family's already dilapidated and leaky house even worse. Yang Dalang had a younger brother who was only twelve years old. For a while, the burden of life fell on on him.
Different from his younger brother Yang Er's physical strength, Yang Da is weak and doesn't have much strength on his body, so he can't do the heavy work that resists bagging and picking stones. This is also related to the Yang family's preference for the younger son. All the delicious food was given to the younger brother, but the older brother got nothing at all. Fortunately, the younger brother was not so unconscionable. When something happened at home, the younger brother Yang Er also stood up to shoulder the family burden for the older brother. To be an apprentice buddy in the above shop, others can get one tael or eight qian per month. The shopkeeper saw that he was young, so he bullied him sincerely. Eat and drink with the family.
The more sensible the younger brother is, the more incompetent he seems to be the elder brother. The more Yang Da thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he is. He goes to the street to check what other people are doing. Vegetable sellers carry their burdens into the city before dawn He also learned how to do it, but after all, he didn't have much strength, and the fresh vegetables he bought from the countryside at a cost of a lot of money fell into the ditch halfway, and he salvaged most of them with a pole, but the whole vegetables were already Broken leaves and fruit, who can sell this kind of thing? So I chose to go home and eat for several days.
On this day, the helpless Yang Da sat on the side of the road looking up to the sky and sighed. He couldn't imagine that he was sitting at the gate of a gambling house in the town. After seeing it, he wanted to avoid it, and people kept coming out to invite him to play, but he refused to go because he didn't have any money. Where else can I find good things? Yang Da followed in without even thinking about it.
Yang Da is a new face to the croupiers in the gambling house. He did win some money that day, but it was not much, and it was enough for him to start a small business. Rao has no strength, so he used the money to set up a stall. It is not a big problem to build a wonton stall. In fact, this is what Liu Changlu specially ordered. That gambling shop is one of the hidden industries of the Liu family. He has long known the difficulties of the Yang family, so he used this method to give money Give him a little, and it will not be a problem to use the money to live in the future, which is why Liu Changlu always scolded Yang Da for being greedy when he was guarding the warehouse later.
Yang Daxi, who won the money, was overjoyed. He didn't think about doing some safe business. Instead, he bought a lot of things with the money and stuffed them into the house. He hired a doctor to see his father. The doctor shook his head before leaving, but Or give him some medicine that can hang his life.
After feeling the powerful impact of money for a while, Yang Dalang felt inexplicably that the gambling house might be a good place for him. Since then, he has been deeply involved in it and cannot extricate himself. At first, Liu Changlu really felt that he just needed money at home. There are too many places, and he deliberately ordered the croupier to give him alms a few times, but the people's hearts are not enough, the more so, the more Yang Dalang felt that he was born to eat this bowl of rice, and Liu Yuanwai gradually knew him Sincerely, tell the croupier to follow the rules.
The God of Wealth accepts apprentices, which is a well-known allusion in gambling houses. No matter which newcomers come here, they will let you win two at first. People, if you win a few small wins, stop there, and the gambling house will lose some money, and if you lose, you will lose. There are always those greedy people who will pay for them, and the profits they can get will be multiplied by ten to a hundred times.
Since then, Yang Dalang has never won any money. Instead, he took money from his family to the casino to gamble. Regardless of other things, he gradually realized that something was wrong. Although he didn't make much money, he could still eat a meat dish for a few days. The recent months of vegetarianism made him aware of the clues. His parents also hid it from him, until later he met his elder brother walking out of the gambling shop on the street, looking sluggish, it seemed that he had lost money, Yang Erlang kindly persuaded him, but was persuaded by Yang Dayi Pushing away, this time, Yang Da blocked his family and life, and finally got married with the gambling house.?No reply.
Liu Changlu knew that the big thing was not good, so he ordered a few cronies to quickly hide the real thing, and then called out all the other servants in the family, and went to chase Yang Da together. As expected, Yang Er also disappeared.
After chasing under the big tree, Yang Er's body appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Yang Da was nowhere to be seen. The treasure was probably found enough. At this moment, one of the confidantes ran over to report that his The bedroom collapsed, which shocked him. He asked those people to bury the tunnel, but did not let them tear down his room. He cursed these stupid pigs in his heart. do something.
However, he still calmed down the panic of his family first, and used the phrase "good fortune and misfortune depend on each other" to warm the hearts of believers who have been contaminated by Buddhist scriptures. Anyway, it has collapsed, and now it can't be repaired when we go back, so we simply do good deeds. , buried Yang Er's body, and led everyone to silently recite the "Curse of Rebirth".
At this moment, a voice from the tree startled them. Looking up, the branches swayed, but there was no sign of anyone. Liu Changlu sighed in his heart, thankfully he was not in a hurry to chase Yang Da or go back to save his bedroom. If it was spread by the man on the tree, he would get a bad reputation if he made a fuss. After everything was tidied up, Liu Changlu led the crowd slowly towards the village, worried about the secrets in the warehouse.
In fact, the reason why Liu Changlu assigned Yang Da to the position of guarding the warehouse was not only because he owed him money, but also a particularly important reason, that is, although Yang Da was always trying to get into everything, He was lucky. Every time he finished the trick, he could see the person behind the scenes through inadvertent small details. If he worked hard in the future, he might become an aide who can read words and deeds. What he needs most right now is to temper his xinxing , so that he can learn from the painful experience in this boring position and repent of his past mistakes. This is undoubtedly another manifestation of Liu Changlu's kindness.
However, the staff did not make it, and instead caused him so much trouble. Liu Changlu looked at the twinkling stars in the vast night sky and sighed. He didn't know whether he was wrong or right. He believed that everyone has the desire to be good Heart, so several times to give people opportunities, but Yang Da is such a bastard who repeatedly hurt his heart. He knows that human nature is indeed greedy sometimes, but he still believes that the Buddha's light in Yongping City will give people spiritual comfort.
Tomorrow is the Yulan Basin Festival. Master Huixian, an eminent monk from the Western Regions, will give a lecture on the spot. He has worked hard all day to prepare food and water sources for the Yulan Basin Festival. He has just come back and encountered such mental torture. He feels a little tired Out of breath, he wanted to go to the basement under the warehouse to stay for a while, but that basement had disappeared.
"Everything is fate, and I can't help it at all. Maybe my good life, Liu Changlu, is coming to an end here." He murmured.
