Zhang Shaofei was still a little worried and reminded him: "What if he wants to play some trick this time?"
Liang Futian emphasized his tone: "Brother Fuxing, A Fei is right, be careful of what tricks he will play."
The corners of Liang Fuxing's mouth turned up slightly, and he said contemptuously: "Humph, he wants to play a trick? As big as a Sydney pear, or as big as a longan, isn't this a flea on the monk's head? It's obvious? He wants to play a trick, but it's not that cheap!"
After hearing this, Liang Futian's attitude changed: "Yes, it is clear at a glance whether the Sydney is bigger or the longan is bigger. It seems that Shi Deren is the cunningest and can't use any tricks."
Liang Fuxing was confident: "I want him to sign in public, so that he can't cheat even if he wants to."
Liang Futian nodded: "Well, if you sign in public, he won't be able to cheat if he wants to cheat in the future."
At this time, a middle-aged man squeezed up. He was the mayor of Yangshan Village, Mo Wen'an. He also came to take advantage of the fair today. Seeing how busy the place was, he squeezed in.
Mo Wen'an's father, Mo Yuming, once served as an assistant to the county magistrate in Qiu County, in charge of criminal law. He was later dismissed and returned to work. Mo Wen'an has read a lot of books and is also a township chief. At this time, Qiu County was organized into a li with 100 households and a township with 5 li. Therefore, Mo Wen'an is regarded as a highly respected cultural figure in the local area. Neighbors from all over the country and neighbors often come to him to arbitrate and resolve conflicts if they have any disputes.
Mo Wen'an said: "You guys are gathering around here and making a lot of noise. Why?"
When Shi Deren saw Mo Wen'an, he was like seeing a Bodhisattva. He stepped forward, took his hand, and shook it: "Head Mo, you came just in time. I was about to make a bet with Liang Fuxing. It's better to meet by chance than to invite you. Come and be a winner." witness."
Liang Fuxing thought it was a good opportunity: "Yes, I want to make a bet with Shi Deren. Mayor Mo, you will be a witness today. Okay?"
As soon as he heard that the two of them wanted to bet on the spot, Mo Wen'an waved his hand and gave advice: "In a casino, if you bet, one party will lose, and there will be many sequelae. I think you should not bet. superior."
Shi Deren said firmly: "We must bet this time."
Liang Fuxing also refused to back down: "Just bet, am I not afraid of you?!"
Mo Wen'an asked unclearly: "Then, what are you betting on?"
Shi Deren pointed to the two baskets of snow pears placed in front of Liang Fuxing and said, "I bet with him whether the snow pears are bigger or the longans are bigger."
Mo Wen'an also felt that this matter was unexpected and said angrily: "Is it bigger, Sydney or Longan? This is obvious, do you still need to bet?"
Shi Deren disagreed: "We just want to take a gamble."
Liang Fuxing tugged on Mo Wen'an's sleeve and said, "We are talking without proof and want to establish a written evidence. Mayor Mo, you are here just in time, so you can be the witness."
Shi Deren's triangular eyes rolled twice, but he changed his words and said to Liang Fuxing: "Neither you nor I are scholars, and we can't read even half a basket of Chinese characters. Besides, writing and establishing evidence in this Wei City has suddenly changed. Where can I find paper, pen, ink and inkstone? Let’s just skip the matter of setting up a written document.”
But Liang Fuxing was unwilling: "Excuse me? If you lose the bet later and refuse to admit it, what will you do?!"
Shi Deren: "I think it's unnecessary to write it down on paper, but this bet was made by me and you in person. Mayor Mo and other villagers testified on the spot. Whoever loses the bet can't cheat. That's okay." Yet?"
Hearing what Shi Deren said, Liang Fuxing felt that it made sense: "This... is fine."
Mo Wen'an: "Since you both agree, I can be a witness, but I have to make a statement first. The rules of the casino are to accept defeat. If any of you lose, don't blame me."
Everyone who was listening wanted to join in the fun and shouted: "Yes, you must accept your losses and you can't cheat."
At this time, Shi Deren asked Liang Fuxing for his opinion: "How much do you think our bet should be this time?"
Liang Fuxing tilted his head and thought for a moment, then stretched out four fingers and shook them.
Shi Deren: "Four Dou Valley?"
Liang Fuxing said contemptuously: "No, what's the point of betting on such a small amount. Let's bet on forty buckets of grain. Are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid? I'm too young." Shi Deren's mouth tilted up, with a arrogant look on his face, "I'm going to fight with you without doing anything. Either don't bet, or bet bigger. Four hundred Dougu!”
Liang Fuxing fixed his eyes and stretched his fingers to count: "Ah, you are talking about four hundred buckets of grain? One bucket of grain weighs twenty-five kilograms, and four hundred buckets of grain is ten thousand kilograms. Oh, you said you are betting on ten thousand kilograms. Gu? The bet is so big?"
Four hundred buckets of grain equals ten thousand catties. For a mountain farmer, this is an astronomical figure! This time, it was Liang Fuxing's turn to hesitate: "This... this..."
Those who were watching the excitement were shocked when they heard such a big bet was made, and some of them were so surprised that they stuck out their tongues.
Seeing that the situation was getting more serious, Zhang Shaofei repeatedly advised Liang Fuxing: "Uncle Fuxing, I'm afraid there's fraud in this gambling method. I think you should avoid this gamble."
Liang Futian also felt that the bet was too high, and said: "Brother Fuxing, A Fei is right. It seems that it is better not to bet. You can just pretend that this matter has never happened, okay?"
Seeing that his plan was about to succeed, but was blocked by others, Shi Deren said reluctantly: "Since this matter has begun, we must continue to gamble."
Now, it was the turn of the people watching the excitement to shout: "Keep the bet! Keep the bet!"
The sun was in the sky, and the earth was being scorched, causing waves of overwhelming heat to rise. Under the sun, people felt hot all over their bodies.
Incited by the crowd's ardent enthusiasm, Liang Fuxing, who was still drunk, felt as if he was being burned by fire. He wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, thought about it, and felt that his side was definitely a sure winner. So, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay! Four hundred buckets of grain! Just bet on this number. Am I not afraid of you?!"
"Okay, you two have agreed!" Mo Wen'an raised his hands, pressed them down, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Now I solemnly announce to you that their bet this time is 400 Dougu. I’m willing to admit defeat!”
The people nearby clapped their hands.
Mo Wen'an waved his raised hand down and announced: "The gambling begins!"
Shi Deren: "I said longan is bigger than snow pear."
Liang Fuxing: "I said Sydney is bigger than longan."
"Longan is bigger than Sydney!"
"Sydney is bigger than longan!"
The two quarreled louder and louder, with spit flying into each other's faces, still refusing to give in.
"Stop arguing, facts speak louder than words," Mo Wen'an made a gesture and said, "You each picked out Sydney and longan, and compared them on the spot. My neighbors and I are here to watch, which one is bigger? Win or lose is decided on the spot.”
"Okay!" Shi Deren made a gesture to Liang Fuxing and said, "Fuxing, please pick out a pear first."
Liang Fuxing bent over, opened his eyes wide, reached out and rummaged through the basket, picked out a snow pear that he thought was the biggest, raised it in front of Shi Deren, and said: "Hurry up and pick a longan for me, a snow pear." Compare." As he said that, he pointed to the longan stall on his left.
Shi Deren snatched the pear from Liang Fuxing's hand with his right hand, pointed to the longan on the left with his left hand holding the folding fan, and said, "I bet you, the longan he is referring to is not these."
Liang Fuxing asked Shi Deren: "You are not referring to these longans. So, which stall's longans do you want to use to compare the size of my snow pears?"
Shi Deren pointed to the bamboo cage with pig seedlings on his right and said, "I'm referring to the eye of this pig cage." After saying that, he placed the snow pear in the eye of the pig cage and compared it.
Needless to say, the eyes of this pig cage are bigger than fists, and are certainly much bigger than the pear picked out by Liang Fuxing.
As soon as Shi Deren loosened his grip, Xue Li fell into the pig cage from the "cage eye".
Shi Deren raised his head and said to Liang Fuxing: "Look, are the eyes of this pig cage bigger than your Sydney?"
Liang Fuxing never dreamed that Shi Deren would make such a move. His ears were buzzing, he pointed at the eyes of the pig cage, touched their lips, and muttered: "You...you...can this be considered a longan?"
Liang Futian couldn't stand Shi Deren's rogue tricks. He pointed at the longan at the longan stall next to him and scolded: "Shi Deren, Shi Deren, it turns out that the longan you are talking about doesn't mean these longan?"
Shi Deren pointed at those longan eyes: "We in Yangshan Village call those longan eyes!"
Liang Fuxing was stunned by this sudden killing move, and he just kept saying: "Dragon...cage...dragon..."
Shi Deren is worthy of being a master of twisting tricks, and he used the method of confusing concepts to cheat: "When I made a bet with you, I didn't specify whether it was the longan of the longan tree or the cage eyes of the pig cage. In short, the accent of the cage is correct! "
After all, Liang Fuxing was just a rough peasant, and when he was blackmailed by the other party, he was completely confused: "This... this..."
Mo Wen'an was shocked by this incredible bet and murmured: "Is this considered a longan?"
Shi Deren said emphatically: "My cage is a strange cage."
Zhang Shaofei pointedly pointed out: "Shi Deren, you just used the dragon of longan and the cage of pig cage, both of which have the same sound as bait, to set up a trap for people to escape."
Shi Deren has always been thick-skinned, but now for the sake of profit, his triangular eyes moved back and forth, emitting a fierce light: "I don't care what you say, as long as I win this bet."
Liang Fuxing asked accusingly: "Shi Deren, do you think you have won like this?"
"Of course!" Shi Deren used defense as offense and pointed at the eyes of the pig cage on Liang Fuxing's left, "Let me ask you, are these cage eyes?"
Liang Fuxing, who was dazed by the sudden "cage eye", looked confused and just stuttered: "Yes...yes..."
