Chapter 224 Fengdu City

There was chaos in the room, everyone was yelling, and the number could not be heard clearly.Zhou Shui waited for a while, and was a little annoyed when he saw that everyone didn't want to stop.With a slap on the table, there was a loud slap, and the dice cup jumped high.Everyone jumped in surprise.

Everyone stopped making noise and looked at Zhou Shui.

Zhou Shui said: "Hold on, you can't come up with just such nonsense. Let me ask, do you still play? If you still play, you should argue first-this is the rule, otherwise you will not be able to play next time." Falun wins or loses. If you don’t want to play anymore, whoever intends to leave, then this game will be regarded as he won, and he will get the money from me. How about it?”

With this commotion, the gamblers lost their interest in gambling.Although they were all a little surprised, they all stretched out their hands: "I don't play anymore, I don't play anymore, there are still things at home."

Everyone took the money and left. Yu Maozi stared at Zhou Shui and said, "I don't want to play any more. Five side farms, this one is all-in-one. I'll forget it. It's 800 yuan. Can you give it to me?" ?”

Zhou Shui Yile: "No. You obviously paid for it, and I relieved you. Why, you still want to blackmail me."

Yu Maozi had a bitter expression on his face: "What a fucking disaster. It's clear that it takes all, so why does the effort of blinking turn into all losses?"

Turning his head, he scolded Ji Bingrui again: "Meeting you must not be a good thing. I lost more than 1000, and I was about to change hands. You will ruin the situation as soon as you come."

Ji Bingrui smiled and said, "What's more than 1000? Cat, I've brought you a deal. This trip is hard work, and the foot fee is ten taels of gold. Can you accept it?"

"I won't pick it up, and I won't pick up 20 taels. The government is sending out fragrant wax fruit cakes in the past few days, and they will be distributed to my house in the future. I have to wait."

Zhou Shui took over the conversation: "You won't buy it yourself when you have money? How much fruit does it take to buy 20 taels of gold? Damn, you don't know how to settle accounts?"

"I don't accept it if I know it. I don't want to give it for free. I have to work hard to earn it? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Zhou Shui couldn't laugh or cry.I had to say: "Then you make an offer, how much will you accept?"

Yu Maozi packed the money on the table into his purse, turned around and walked out, looking lazy in his walking posture.After leaving the door, he said a word: "I only pick up when there is no rice in the jar."

Where did you go like this?Everyone in Zhou Shui hurried out.Turning around a few small courtyards, there is a single-door courtyard in front of it, surrounded by low green adobe walls and three crumbling tile houses.This is Maozi Yu's home.

The courtyard door was ajar, Maozi Yu pushed it open and went in.There was a copper lock on the front door of the tile-roofed house. Yu Maozi took off the key from his trouser belt, opened the door, entered the house on his own, and then closed the door from the inside—repelling Zhou Shui and others.

Ji Bingrui knocked on the door: "Cat, cat, let's discuss it again. You can make a price, can you make a price?"

The door slammed, but Maozi Yu didn't reply.Not too long ago, there was a snoring sound in the room.

Zhou Shui was so angry, he thought to himself: Why did I meet such a thing that does not enter the water.

Lao Ji was still knocking on the door, begging while knocking.Zhou Shui waited for a while, and couldn't bear it any longer. He quietly walked around from the courtyard wall to the back of the house.Looking around, I saw a pile of dry thatch not far away, which seemed to be prepared as livestock feed.Zhou Shui hugged them and piled them up at the back door of Yu Maozi's house.Yu Maozi lives in a tile-roofed house, which is the same as Yangjian, supported by wooden frames and covered with tiles.

The back door of Yu Maozi's house is a willow wooden door, which was also tightly closed at this time.Zhou Shui took out a lighter from his pocket.Zhou Shui doesn't smoke, and he usually doesn't have any kindling in his pocket. It's a coincidence, it's definitely a coincidence, and today he really found a lighter.Zhou Shui lit the fire, and lit the pile of dry grass with a smirk.When dry firewood meets fire, the flames "fly up" all of a sudden.

Zhou Shui jumped away and shouted loudly: "Maozi Yu, didn't you take the job only when there was no rice in the tank? Today I not only told you that there was no rice in the tank, but also that there was no rice outside the tank. No room. If you don’t come out, there will be no cats in the house in a while. By the way, don’t go through the back door, the live cat will become a dead cat.”

Zhou Shui went around to the front door again.Seeing Mr. Zhou and Ji Bingrui's wry smiles, Mr. Zhou scolded Zhou Shui: "How can you be so begging? Find a shovel and prepare it, keep an eye on the fire, and don't attract the neighbors."

At this time, Yan Jing looked excited, and stuck out his tongue at Zhou Shui with a smirk.

By this time the fire had started.When the fire came up, the air immediately became scorching hot.Yu Maozi also woke up at this time, and was stunned for a moment, screaming and running around the house, not knowing that he was going to escape.Zhou Shui yelled outside: "Cat, if you don't want to become roasted cat meat, just jump out of the window and run for your life."

These words seemed to remind Maozi Yu, the window was kicked open from inside, and Maozi Yu really jumped out of the house like a cat.When he arrived at a safe place, Yu Maozi hadn't caught his breath yet. Seeing Zhou Shui who was holding a shovel and frowning, he was so frightened that he plopped down on his knees and said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa, the little one is just a slut." , The upper branch and the lower school, just eat and drink, don't know anything about major issues."

Zhou Shui laughed with a "puchi".It seems that Maozi Yu was really startled, and thought that Zhou Shui had offended Zhou Shui in the incident, and Zhou Shui was going to kill "people" to silence it.

Mr. Zhou hurriedly helped Maozi Yu up: "Mr. Maozi misunderstood. This... dog is so abrupt, don't blame me for offending you."

Seeing the smile on Elder Zhou's face, Yu Maozi calmed down a bit, and said: "Brother, brother, where did you offend everyone, please tell me clearly." Then he turned his head to look at the house that was about to collapse, with a sad expression on his face , Uglier than crying.

Mr. Zhou said: "Mr. Maozi, we can't talk about offending you. We will definitely pay for your house. We will not only pay for the house, but we will also pay for your mental loss. However, we didn't bring that much money. You sent us back to Yangjian , after sending it back, not only the compensation will be remitted immediately, but also your foot money and 20 taels of gold will also be sent."

Maozi Yu scratched his head, looked at Ji Bingrui, then at Zhou Shui, and focused on the shovel that was placed horizontally by Zhou Shui, with a mournful face, he said, "Guys, it's not that I don't want to help you. Who has any grudge against Jin Zi? The main reason is that in the past few days, Grandpa Ksitigarbha was teaching the Fa in Nether City, and a few acquaintances who guarded the pass on Huangquan Road have asked for leave to listen to the Fa. It will be troublesome to pass the customs."

Having said that, Zhou Shui murmured a little in his heart. Hearing what Yu Maozi said, he had to go the wrong way back to Yang.Although Zhou Shui said that he had never walked the Huangquan Road, "in fact, he walked it in his previous life, but he forgot it in this life", but he has read in books that this road is extremely difficult, and it might take a lot of trouble.

Ji Bingrui pulled Maozi Yu aside, and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhou Shui didn't listen to what he said, but he could guess that it was probably about the relationship between the three of them and Mr. Ford. said.Because at this time, Yu Maozi's face gradually changed from cloudy to sunny.After Ji Bingrui finished speaking, Maozi Yu slapped his thigh and said loudly, "Hey, you man, why didn't you say it earlier, this house is on fire..."

Turning around, he sang a fat promise to Mr. Zhou: "So it's the old man, you're being polite." Then he cupped his hands at Zhou Shui and Yan Jing: "Young master, young mistress, Maozi Yu is being polite."

On the contrary, Zhou Shui was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly helped Maozi Yu: "Old Mr. Yu, this junior is so abrupt, don't blame me for offending you. The matter of leading the way...?"

Maozi Yu patted his chest: "Don't worry, I'm just going to pay attention to the relationship with Mr. Fude, not to mention leading the way, Maozi Yu will agree to work hard."

Yu Maozi approached Zhou Shui again, and said in a friendly manner: "Mr. Fude has a kindness, and he can be called a "parent officer". I didn't know it was this kind of relationship before. If I knew it earlier, I would have walked half the way. Yes. Let me get ready, let's go right away."

Yu Maozi turned around, looked at Zhengwang's burning house, and said with a wry smile, "Okay, there's nothing to prepare. Let's go."

On the way, Ji Bingrui sent him another journey, and he broke up with everyone when he reached the edge of a city.

This city was built majesticly, with black bricks to the top and high walls.The city gate was wide open at this time, and people of all colors came in and out in an endless stream.

Zhou Shui was about to go into the city with the flow of people entering the city, but Yu Maozi grabbed him and said, "Listen, everyone, follow me. If I don't go the way, everyone must not go. I won't do it." Don't do anything about it. In short, everyone just keep an eye on me."

Yu Maozi also specially instructed Zhou Shui: "You can't enter this city. Look at what is written on the door plaque? Fengdu City. If you go in, the Yamen will take you away, and you will be assigned to the prison number by category. Wait for the branch office The gentlemen asked about you, why do we have to wait for several hours, even though we have to send you to Guiyang in the end, isn’t it also a delay?”

Zhou Shui looked up, and there was indeed a plaque hanging above the city gate, with the words "Fengdu City" written on it.

Zhou Shui said to himself: "No wonder there is a feeling of revisiting the old place, so this is it."

Yu Maozi smiled: "That's true, not only you have been here, but all sentient beings have been here, it's just a matter of the last life. I just forgot."

Yu Maozi talked and laughed, and led the three of them around the city gate and walked eastward along a road.There are many pedestrians on the road, most of them are elderly people, but occasionally there are also young people, all with their heads down, expressionless.They were accompanied by a man in black with a water and fire stick.All the people went to the city, but Zhou Shui and his party went out of the city.So all the men in black looked at them with a little surprise on their faces.

Yu Maozi reminded Zhou Shui and the others in a low voice: "Low your head, don't make eye contact with them, try to walk along the side of the road."

Walked for a while.Ahead is a village, with a few houses scattered here and there.The village is also strangely built, not to mention the houses in a mess, and there is actually a huge screen wall built in the middle of the road.The screen wall occupies seven or eight out of ten of the entire road, leaving only two small narrow roads passing through both sides of the screen wall.

Mr. Zhou suddenly asked Yu Maozi: "Mr. Maozi, is this Mengpo Village?"

"Yes, the old lady Meng led a few daughters to drink the enchanting soup here. This soup is delicious, but you must not drink it. If you drink it, you will not even know your relatives, friends, parents, wives and children when you go back." Yu Maozi turned his head. Then he said to Zhou Shui: "That old Ji, Ji Bingrui, this guy is more ghostly than a ghost. He also drank it back then, but he kept it in his mouth, and he vomited when he turned around the screen wall. The relatives and friends in the previous life are old, this old boy I still remember it."

Yan Jing suddenly answered: "I think you are also familiar with etiquette, so you must have vomited too?"

Yu Maozi blushed, scratched his head and said, "This soup is delicious enough, and it doesn't cost money. I drank two bowls in one go, and wanted to have another bowl, but the soup was gone, so I kicked it out."

Zhou Shui almost collapsed laughing - look at this cheap and greedy.
