Judge, please respect yourself

It was about noon, and after entering the casino for nearly two hours, Yang'er came out of the dyeing workshop, holding a heavy purse in his hand, turned around and thanked the scarred man, and walked quickly along the alley where he came. step away.

But he didn't want to, as soon as he got out of the alley and turned around, he bumped into someone, Yang'er rubbed his forehead, and before he could swear a few words, the white clothes caught his eyes, and he immediately gathered up the purse in his hand and felt guilty.

"Yuelu, why haven't you returned yet?"

Xianjun stared at Yang'er solemnly, and glanced at the money bag in his hand, "Are you helping someone cheat in a casino?"

Yang'er definitely never thought that this matter would be exposed so quickly, so fast that he was discovered before he had time to warm up the money, so he quickly hid it in his arms.

"Not without."

"Where does this silver tael come from?"

"I just went to help out with a wave of business, and it's just a reward from the boss."

Yang'er's eyes faltered, he quickly walked past Xianjun and walked in front of him, so as to cover up his flustered expression, but the moon deer behind him just moved slightly and then moved to the front, blocking the way out of the city.

"Ill-gotten wealth, if you take it, you will lose it, and you will return it."

"How is this ill-gotten wealth? I thought the man was pitiful, so I helped him out. After all, it's still righteous money."

"Are you not going to pay it back?"

"Why do you have to pay back what you have earned?"

In fact, Yang'er knew that this was not a bright thing, but he was born with such a sharp tongue, and his sophistry skills are unmatched. Xianjun's persuasion was fruitless. Foolishness is the poison of human desire, and it is a catastrophe for fate. Sometimes one step can change a person's fate, so he should not interfere too much with the affairs of the human world.

The two were relatively silent. Yang'er carried the empty bamboo basket and kept walking forward with his head bowed. His mind was in a mess. He knew that this matter could not be done, but his family was poor, and his father suffered from leg problems recently, so he went to the fields occasionally. , not more rewarding than usual, he always wanted to supplement some household expenses, but he was only seven years old, so what could he do?

Too often, those things that cannot be done are forced to be done. If it is not forced by the world, if he can also be born into a wealthy family, he will not have to do such careless things, and he can also marry everyone. Wake up, abandon the field mud, and keep pen and ink as companions, living a life of abundant food and clothing, wine and food, and being envied by others.

Yang'er suddenly lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the cloth shoes under his feet, which didn't match his slovenly clothes. He stopped, feeling like weeping a little. This is the reality of his ragged clothes with holes and patches. In fact, he knew very well that No matter what, he couldn't change his birth, but he was fascinated by desire, and such behavior would only make him degenerate even more. Never do it again.

However, the figure in white was not seen at all.

"Moon deer?"

Yang'er hurriedly looked left and right to look for it, but the surrounding area was empty, and there was no such person at a glance, "The Immortal?! The Moon Deer Immortal?!"

He raised his voice a little more to call out to the other party, but he still didn't get any response. Yang'er suddenly panicked in his heart, and hurriedly turned back the way he had walked, constantly looking for someone.

He is angry?He hates me?It must be his despicable behavior that made Xianjun hate him!

Thinking of this, Yang'er started to run, tightened his wallet, and headed straight for the dyeing workshop, "I made a mistake, I will return the money right away! Don't ignore me!"

He yelled and ran all the way to the dyeing workshop. After entering, he entered the casino familiarly, and hurried to the card table where the horse tag was placed, but the three people who were at the same table with the man with the scar just now were gone. He looked around, I searched the upper and lower floors, but there was still no sign of anyone. It seemed that they had already left, so how should I pay back the money?

However, just as he was thinking about going downstairs and was about to leave, a prostitute suddenly blocked his way.

"Are you the little brother who played Pai Gow just now?"

"Please step out of the way, sister, I still have something important to do."

"Hey, you are quite small, and you have a big tone. Why do you, a brat, need to be in such a hurry to do something important?"

As she said that, the gambling prostitute bent down and slowly raised Yang'er's head to look at herself, and found a bronze lens from his arms, her eyes suddenly became sharp, "Could it be that you are in a hurry to help someone get out of old age?" thousand?"

Yang'er secretly thought that it was not good, so he quickly broke away from the gambler's hand, climbed up the escalator on the side, and slid down it. Seeing his behavior like this, the gambler immediately yelled downwards, and several strong men with sticks came up Arriving from all directions of the crowd, Yang'er saw the direction of the few of them, took advantage of the crowd to block his sight, and jumped under the poker table to hide.

Unexpectedly, there were already people surrounded in front of the table, that person also jumped into the bottom of the table, wanting to reach out to catch him, Yang'er quickly backed out, but the road was tightly surrounded by people around him, so it was difficult to move around, so he crawled He got on the card table, stepped on one table after another and fled towards the door.

"Don't run away, kid!"

The stick-wielding man chased after him and surrounded him from the front, back, left, and right sides. Seeing that there was no way out, Yang'er jumped onto a man and poked his hand into the man's eyes. The man felt pain and grabbed Yang'er's hand Quickly let go, covered his eyes and howled, Yang'er took the opportunity to escape to the stone gate, and was blocked by another person, he reacted quickly, and immediately shot to sneak up on the crotch of the predecessor, the man fell down and rolled over with a low growl .

Seeing that they were about to get to the exit of Shimen, as long as they left the casino, they would not dare to make noise on the street. After all, it was a black gambling house to avoid taxation. For the old bastard, the loss outweighs the gain.

However, just when he thought he could escape smoothly, he just opened the stone door, only to see that the gambling prostitute just now was guarding the door, he lifted his collar and threw it inward, and threw it under the group of strong men , Yang'er was temporarily controlled by several people.

"You can't hold a child, what use do I need you?"

The brawny men didn't dare to talk back, and lowered their heads one by one. The gambling prostitute approached, took out the bag of money he got just now and the scraps of silver from selling fruits and vegetables this morning from Yang'er's arms, and put them into his own arms.

"That's my money!"

"Your money? Kid, do you know the fate of cheating on my territory?"

The gambling prostitute kicked Yang'er's stomach hard, and Yang'er felt his stomach churning violently, and then spit out a mouthful of bitter water.

"Drag this wild boy out and deal with it properly for me."

"Yes!"

After responding, Yang'er was held on his shoulders, and the place where he was kicked by the gambling prostitute just now was oppressed and uncomfortable, but he understood that it was nothing, because there would be more unbearable punishment later.

Sure enough, ill-gotten gains will surely decline...

The sky was getting past dusk, it was raining patter, the streets were almost deserted, and Yang'er lay down in the alley behind the dyeing workshop, covered in bruises and scars, although he had been lying here for about an hour, but He still couldn't get up, and his clothes were gradually wet by the raindrops. He crawled forward with difficulty, trying to crawl under the eaves to hide from the rain, but failed.

He was lying on the ground, his face was still being hit by raindrops on his face, but suddenly an oil-paper umbrella appeared in his sight, he turned his head, rolled his black eyes, and saw Moon Deer standing beside him.

Yang'er's eyes turned red all of a sudden, but she held back the swirling tears, and stretched out her hand to hold Yuelu's clothes with all her strength, "I returned the money."

"Ok, I know."

Yuelu squatted down, stroked the rainwater on his face, and hugged the child in his arms.

"I know I'm wrong, next time you don't leave without saying a word, okay?"

The child tightly hugged Yuelu's neck with hands full of scars, Yuelu could feel the weak body trembling, although the child did not cry, but if it was an ordinary child, the fear and anxiety would have long been It is to crush it.

It was just because he didn't know how to persuade a young child to leave the evil way. He was afraid that his interference would ruin the child's fate, but he was also afraid that he would go astray and burn himself. When he recovered, he did not expect that the child was already a child. After becoming like this, maybe it was his catastrophe, he patted Yang'er on the back, because of the rain, Yang'er's body was very cold, so Yuelu kept warming his body with his true energy.

Even though the night was already dark, Yang'er was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes many times when he was walking on the country path, but he still held Yuelu tightly and refused to let go, trying his best for fear that if he let go, people would die. Then it disappeared again.

Xianjun seemed to see through his uneasiness and guilt, so he took off a willow leaf on the side of the road and blew it on his mouth. I buried my head on Xianjun's shoulder.

"sounds so good."

Accompanied by Liu Yeyin's comfort, Yang'er was finally at ease, and fell asleep in the hands of Xianjun.

When he woke up the next day, it was already high in the sun, and Yang'er had never slept so peacefully until so late, but he opened his eyes and saw his father sitting beside him, and the drowsiness dissipated, he sat up quickly, and a white cloth fell from him The forehead fell off.

"Just woke up, don't get up in such a hurry."

Yang'er's father picked up the white cloth that fell on the bed, soaked it in cold water, wrung it dry, and wiped his cheeks. Because his face was covered with bruises, his father wiped it gently, not daring to hurt him.

"I……"

"I heard from the young man in white last night that you met robbers when you came back. If you lose your silver, you lose it. Why bother to protect each other with all your might? It's good that you are fine. Look at you, what have you become? "

The man muttered, and took the rice soup and steamed buns on the table with his lame right leg.

"Does your leg hurt again?"

"It rained last night, and I felt wet and painful again. Let's not talk about it. The young man said that you didn't eat last night, and you woke up late this morning. You should drink this rice soup first."

Yang'er obediently took the steamed buns and took two bites. She was indeed hungry, and the two bites of steamed buns attracted greedy insects, so she started to gobble them up.
