Looking at the slightly older teenager who was suddenly embarra*sed, he said at his companion, “This sister has a point, people have advised us, we ……”
“Second brother, this is all our money, we came to Tong City for business.”
The woman hurriedly said, “Little brother, I can lend you money if you are short of it, but you can’t spit in the blood.”
When she cried, several men present were fooled and pointed at Baldy’s face and cursed. Baldy didn’t overreact, but he couldn’t speak with one mouth as well as four or five. There was no way he could kill them all.
When Old Gan saw that Baldy couldn’t hold on to the situation, he stepped forward and said, “Girl, don’t be anxious. This little brother of mine is eager to do justice and may have misunderstood. Now the public has a point and the public has a point, but we are all trying to be fair, so bear with me.”
Old Gan was a veteran of the battlefield and could not find fault with the smoothness of his words, and as he was older, people respected him and listened to his mediation when they saw how clearly he spoke.
When the bearded man saw that everyone had calmed down and was no longer coaxed by him, he did not dare to be hard-headed and said, “Now it is not us who are unforgiving, it is you, my little brother, who are unforgiving. What do you say?!”
Old Gan said, “All the cards are on the table, just count the right ones and we’ll know if anyone has cheated.”
“Right, just count them and we’ll know.”
The two men and women were dumbfounded and looked at each other awkwardly, but now they could not refuse to agree to the deal, but if they did, they did not have the guts to do so.
Seeing the two hesitating, the onlookers present were no fools, and some immediately became suspicious.
“Yes, the old man is right, if you really aren’t cheating, check your cards.”
“Yes, let’s check the cards against each other.”
Someone spontaneously started pairing already.
“If you two are really cheaters, get the hell out of here!”
The woman’s face was blue; on a day like this, just leaving the chamber was a death sentence. She put her heart in her mouth, her face changed at first, and came up to the group with a smile, saying, “All right, all right, if you’re right, you’re right.”
I whispered to Baldy, “This woman is bound to make a move, keep an eye on her, and when she does you catch her.”
There were only two candles lit in the hall and the light was dim, so it was hard to see anything clearly, plus these two people were old and accustomed to thousands, so ordinary people would never be able to see through their methods, and only Baldy could see clearly.
As soon as my words fell, Baldy immediately shouted out, “You’re changing cards again!”
I was taken aback because I hadn’t expected him to shout and I thought he would just grab the other man with his hands. The woman was also taken aback, but had already changed her cards and shouted at Baldy with a black face, “BullSh*t!”
Old Gan didn’t see it, but he believed in Baldy’s strength and helped him by saying, “Girl, you say you didn’t do anything, so what do you say when we search the cards on you?”
The bearded man took over and opened his mouth to curse, “You F**king old thing, you still want to search a woman’s body? If it wasn’t for your old bones, I’d beat you up today!”
Old Gan had seen all kinds of scenes before, but when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no way to argue with him, especially when it is not a soldier, but a hooligan with a fist, his face was red with anger, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At this point, the man who was playing the cards had finished and said that the cards were all right. Of course the cards were all right, because they had already been dealt with.
Baldy didn’t say anything, but his fists were clenching and his knuckles were turning white. But I was really speechless with him, what’s the use of being angry at this time, just shouting a D*mn shout, why not catch the woman on the spot? With his skills, couldn’t he have caught her?
“I think it’s you guys who should get lost! You guys are so shameless!” I don’t know who shouted.
“Yes, get out! Three liars!”
Everyone shouted louder than louder, and Baldy was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
The typhoon was strong, but I’d seen worse weather than this when I was in the army, and it wasn’t certain that anything would happen if Baldy and I left now, but Old Gan was so old that I didn’t really dare take him out.
If I were in my old temper, I wouldn’t bother with this kind of crap. There are so many different styles of fairy jumping in the jungle that ordinary people wouldn’t fall for it if their hearts weren’t greedy, and those who do, even if they pierce the scam for them on the spot, may not wake up.
The key thing is that there is no way to control this kind of thing. Like Baldy and Lao Gan, they think they have a way to expose other people’s scams, but in fact, unless they are caught on the spot, there is nothing they can do.
These two men know that Baldy is a master and won’t risk cheating again.
“Brother and sister, don’t throw them out. These two brothers and uncles are just taking pity on us, it’s our fault, we shouldn’t be greedy. We don’t want the money, don’t throw them out, people will die in this weather.” The younger of the youngsters suddenly said.
I didn’t expect this boy to speak for us, so I was a bit soft-hearted, as a few thousand dollars was an astronomical sum for two children.
I made a gesture for everyone to be quiet, because I hadn’t said anything and these people didn’t know what I really wanted, so they got a little quieter.
I said, “Let me apologise to you all first, this is my brother, he’s a man, with a bit of a problem in his brain.”
I pointed to my temple, and Baldy gave me a look of displeasure, and I muttered in my heart, “What the F**k are you looking at?
“Your brother has a serious brain problem, F**k, psycho.”
“That’s right! If you’re sick, watch it!”
I apologised and then said, “I’m bored now anyway, why don’t you two play a game with me? If I lose, it’ll be my money to make amends for my brother, and if I win, I can return the money to these two kids. It’s always bad to say that we adults are taking advantage of children.”
The two men looked at each other, wondering what I was selling in my gourd, and Old Gan gave me a tug and whispered, “Young master, are you crazy? You can’t play with them!”
