Chapter Thirty-Nine
If something happened to Huang Han today, the consequences would be hard to predict.
Thinking of this, Fatty Xu quickly raised his hand to Huang Han. "Ah! Huang Han. I think it's better to forget our bet! Otherwise, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to your father!"
Our Mr. Xu may not look very good, but he still has a smart mind. He doesn't say that he is afraid that if something happens, the government will take the opportunity to find trouble in his family, but he can't explain it to Huang Han's father. This sounds like,
How selfless.
"Mr. Xu, didn't we just agree?" Huang Han didn't understand why Xu Shichang immediately changed his mind after just hearing two or three words from Yu Ren. Of course, he didn't understand the underlying reason. But
But he was unwilling to give up the opportunity before him, the only opportunity to settle the foreign debt of ten taels of silver that his father had.
"I was just impulsive. Now that I think about it, this kind of thing must be too dangerous. If something goes wrong, it will be life-threatening. I also think about you." Fatty Xu changed his smile.
, his tone no longer had the forcefulness he had just now.
"I promise it's okay. There are so many folks here, so I'll ask everyone to certify. If an accident happens, I, Huang Han, will bear the responsibility alone, and Mr. Xu will never be implicated. In this way, you can rest assured!" Huang Han was anxious!
The way.
Fatty Xu didn't expect that now that he wanted to cancel the bet, Huang Han actually refused to agree. However, he was not a fool after all, and he soon understood the key to this. So, Fatty Xu kindly said to him
Huang Han said, "I know that you insist on this bet because you can't pay me back the ten taels of silver. This way! The ten taels of silver that your father owes me will be treated as my funding for your family, and you don't have to pay it back."
.”
After saying that, Fatty Xu immediately took out an IOU from his arms and tore it into pieces in front of everyone.
"In this way, you should feel relieved!"
Huang Han really didn't expect that Fatty Xu would be so kind today. Although the Xu family was not the kind of gentry family that bullied the countryside, they had never heard of any good deeds in their family. Huang Han didn't understand for a moment why Fatty Xu
I want to suddenly forgive my family's debt.
He would never have thought that Xu Shichang was afraid that the government would use this matter to cause trouble to the Xu family, so he had to bear the pain and give him ten taels of silver in vain.
Seeing that Huang Han hadn't spoken a word, Fatty Xu couldn't help but feel anxious.
At this time, Yu Ren spoke again. "Master Xu, in my opinion, this is your fault. Think about it. Although you have forgiven the Huang family's debt of ten taels of silver, this is
Shiliang, what was your original agreement?
If Huang Han wins, you have to compensate him one hundred taels!
If you want to cancel the bet now, it is tantamount to surrender. There is a saying in the casino: Surrender and lose half! That means you should pay another fifty taels of silver to Huang Han. Is this right?
! Let’s talk about it!”
Most of these onlookers were similar to Huang Han, from the middle and lower classes of society who were not from well-off families. Naturally, they were willing to help Huang Han speak. Therefore, everyone unanimously agreed with Yu Ren's statement.
At this time, Fatty Xu couldn't argue even if he wanted to. He was determined to let Huang Han give it a try! But he was afraid that if there really was an explosion or Huang Han was thrown to death, then the Xu family would be afraid of trouble later.
Even bigger. He would never dare to take this risk.
After thinking for a long time, Fatty Xu finally gritted his teeth and took out fifty taels of silver from a servant's backpack and handed it to Huang Han. Then he turned around and left.
At this point, Fatty Xu realized that Yu Ren was actually speaking to Huang Han and the others. However, if he hadn't reminded him today, he might have really caused a catastrophe to the Xu family. From this point on
Said, it seems that he shouldn't bear grudge against this Yu Ren.
However, those fifty taels of silver were obviously taken away by this guy with a few words! This was the personal money he had saved for more than half a year, and Xu Pang was really distressed.
Huang Han was completely confused by the sudden change in front of him. Before he could figure out why Xu Shichang gave him fifty taels of silver, Fatty Xu had already left the money and ran away. As if he was afraid that Huang Han would return.
It's like she's following him around.
"What? This..." Huang Han looked at the fifty taels of silver in his hand and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Fat Xu has given up. These fifty taels of silver are yours now." Yu Ren reminded Huang Han from the side.
The thin young man who was reluctant to light the fire just now also ran up happily. "That's great, fourth brother. Now, we don't have to worry about money."
Huang Han still seemed a little unbelievable. He held two heavy silver nuggets in his hands and asked Yu Ren, "Is this silver really mine?"
"Of course, you earned this honorably! All the folks here can vouch for you!" Yu Ren firmly patted Huang Han on the shoulder and said.
At this time, many people in the crowd also agreed. Huang Han felt a little relieved.
"However, although you have received the money now, your performance has not been shown to us yet!" Yu Ren reminded.
"Sir, didn't you say that it's dangerous to sit on it and light a fire like this?" Cao An asked in confusion.
"Yes! It's very dangerous!"
"Then, why do you still want Huang Han to perform?" Cao An's voice was obviously softer this time.
"I only asked Brother Huang to perform a performance of sending this chair to the sky for us to see, but I didn't say that he should sit on the chair! In fact, we can definitely find a stone roughly the same weight as a person and tie it to it. This way
, we can not only verify whether these four fireworks can send people and chairs into the sky, but also don’t have to worry about danger. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?”
After saying that, Yu Ren asked the crowd who had not dispersed, "Do you want to see it?"
"I want to..." He was answered by a wave of different voices.
"How is it? Do you have confidence?" Yu Ren then turned to Huang Han and said.
Huang Han was originally very confident in his flying plan, but since he met Yu Ren, he felt that this confidence was gone forever. His instinct told him that this person was standing in front of him
, the scholar who is only two or three years older than him definitely has more experience in this area than himself.
Therefore, when Huang Han heard Yu Ren's question, he just said, "Let's try it!"
So he and Huang Wu moved two big rocks, and asked someone to get some ropes and tie them to the chair.
Yu Ren looked at the two teenagers in front of him very patiently, busy non-stop. Although he remained calm on the surface, inside, Yu Ren was excited. He was expecting, expecting a miracle to appear. In his mind
, he was even thinking about whether he could, under the current technological conditions of this era, build a rocket with a certain thrust to send people and objects into space?
While Yu Ren was having his daydream, Huang Han and Huang Wu had finished preparing everything. At this time, Huang Han had already raised the torch in his hand. "Please, fellow villagers, please step back to prevent accidents."
"
When everyone heard this, they cheered and stepped back a few feet. Only then did Yu Ren wake up and hurriedly retreated to the edge of the crowd.
Huang Han lit four fireworks in quick succession, and then retreated to the edge of the crowd.
Everyone waited with bated breath for about half a minute when they suddenly heard a loud noise, followed by three more loud noises. After this loud noise, the crowd screamed and ran away.
Yu Ren didn't run away, he pushed Cao An next to him. The two of them fell to the ground together.
After Yu Ren lay down on the ground, he quickly raised his head to see the scene. He saw that the wooden chair had lost its legs, and four rockets like big fireworks were shooting straight into the sky. However, he did not see that
Traces of tied stones.
Yu Ren hurriedly lowered his head and looked around, and then he saw that the big stone that had been placed on the chair was still firmly tied to the chair without moving at all. However, at this time, the chair had already separated from its four edges.
The legs were completely separated, and the four legs were soaring into the sky, but it was still lying quietly on the grass, as if all these performances had nothing to do with it.
The people who had fled away saw that nothing was wrong and turned their heads one after another. Just when everyone stopped to watch the four fireworks in the sky, four more loud noises suddenly came from mid-air. The four had already flown out of the sky.
