Big red lanterns are hung on the eaves and corners of every house, blooming with bright orange light, bringing a bit of happiness.
Another year of Longyang Festival is here!
This is a festive day, especially for the big bookmakers who own gambling houses.
Because there are always people who do not believe in evil and want to take advantage of the so-called happiness to gamble, so that they get deeper and deeper into trouble and lose everything!
"I will give you a picture of a thirty-two-horse horse!"
"Hurry up, hurry up and make the money back, then I'll stop."
"I, I have no money... No, I still have a wife and a pair of daughters!"
"..."
There was a commotion in Qingshi Gambling House.
At gambling tables of all sizes, people are performing different forms of living beings.
At this moment, the 'Bluestone Casino Owner' Ye Shang stood on the second floor, folding his arms and giving orders to his men next to him:
"Old Gui Chen has already gambled away all three acres of his farmland. Let's take another offer from him and then drive him out!"
Old Ghost Chen, whose real name is Chen Dong, is an old man with white hair.
His clothes were thin and his figure was thin. His warm eyes in the past were now glowing with green light.
"No, I didn't lose, I haven't lost yet, I still have capital." When Chen Dong was dragged out by the thugs, he struggled frantically to get back to the gaming table.
But this made the thug sneer: "Come on, old man, you still have a lot of money. If Boss Ye hadn't been kind-hearted, he would have hacked you to death for the ten taels of silver you owed us. Remember, next time
I must return it in the middle of the month, otherwise, huh!"
With a bang, Chen Dong was thrown out of the gambling house and fell into the frost and snow.
The people in the gambling house just glanced at him, then withdrew their gaze and continued to be immersed in the anxious atmosphere.
Chen Dong staggered to his feet in the snow and quickly returned home.
And the direction where his home is located is exactly in the slum area where Hua Menghuang lives!
…
"No more, no more, all gone?!"
After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Chen Dong collapsed on the ground in embarrassment.
In just one night, he lost all the money he had saved for more than two years, and even sold three acres of farmland.
Not only that, he also owed Qingshi Gambling ten taels of silver!
When he thought of the horror of Qingshi Gambling House, he couldn't help but shuddered.
Immediately, he began to look outside the house, towards a remote cabin to the south.
The remote hut was currently being pressed by the wind and snow, and it felt faintly crumbling.
But what is surprising is that this remote hut is like weeds, no matter how strong the cold wind is, it will never fall down.
"Xiaocao, don't blame Grandpa Chen. When Grandpa Chen makes his money back, he will definitely redeem you from Yakouzi and raise you as his daughter..."
In Chen Dong's eyes, the faint green light became more and more intense.
The strong draw their swords to strike the stronger, and the weak draw their swords to strike the weaker.
Without exception, Hua Menghuang became the target of Chen Dong, an old man with white hair!
The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier.
The moonlight is getting dimmer and dimmer.
Just when Chen Dong was harboring ill intentions towards Hua Menghuang, Hua Menghuang, who was sleeping on a dry and cold wooden bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
With a backhand, she pulled out a single piece of rusty scissors from under the pillow.
This single piece of rusty scissors looks like a small sword, but it is stained with some blood, blooming like a blood flower.
But even after she had done all this, the panic in her heart still did not diminish, and the feeling of trembling with fear was still there.
After all, she is just a seven-year-old child.
but……
What is surprising is that in the face of the upcoming big crisis, Hua Menghuang's face shows no panic.
In just a moment, she quickly stood up and headed towards the northeast corner, where there was a dark room.
The cunning rabbit has three holes, especially for a helpless person like her, it is almost a must-do.
"Whoever wants me to die must die." Hua Menghuang's eyes were cold, and the single piece of rusty scissors tightly clenched in his hand became colder and colder.
A quarter of an hour later.
Hua Menghuang witnessed her grandfather Chen Dong, who was relatively friendly and kind to her, sneaking into her house, rummaging around in the small thatched house, robbing her wildly, and even using words to deceive her to make her show up.
body.
Hua Menghuang said nothing, but tightened her grip on the single piece of rusty scissors in her hand.
Once Chen Dong finds the dark room and enters it, she will unleash a thunderous strike, already prepared.
Whoever wants her to die must die!
It is not yet bright, and the first ray of morning light has not yet broken.
But the loud crowing of cocks broke the silence, as if announcing that a new day was coming.
"Fuck..." Old man Chen Dong cursed secretly and finally left the remote hut.
Hua Menghuang saw Chen Dong's actions clearly.
But Hua Menghuang still stood quietly in the darkroom, unmoved.
It wasn't until early in the morning when people's voices started to ring around and neighbors began to move around that Hua Menghuang came out.
It was at this moment that she could calmly watch the mess in her house!
She just watched quietly, watched quietly, and remained silent.
It's just that the single piece of rusty scissors she held tightly in her hand really looked like a broken sword, with blood dripping from it.
…
The Longyang Festival is the human race’s New Year.
The third day of the Lunar New Year is a day for schools to pray for blessings.
Early in the morning, Hua Menghuang came to the school and worked with her aunts and grandmothers.
Although she is small in stature, she is very clever with her hands and feet, whether she is killing chickens and plucking feathers, or washing dishes and setting the table.
It is precisely because of this that several aunts wanted to take her in as a child bride.
The red sun is shining high and the wind is gentle.
Thanks to the hard work of long-term workers, large and small, the school has completely changed its appearance, with lights and colors everywhere.
Red couplets are hung everywhere on bamboo poles, the curtains are hung in the air, and the bluestone on the ground is spotless, giving people an ultimate sense of pleasure.
"When, when——"
Suddenly, there was a burst of gongs, drums and firecrackers outside the school.
It turns out that the students in the school are about to welcome the new blessing!
"Dad, I will definitely study hard. You don't need to hold me back."
The ethereal sound produced by the collision of longevity locks intersects with the young female voice, and spreads in the school. The breeze blows through the red cloth curtain, and the carpet in front moves slightly. The headmaster of the school is holding the hand of a cute girl wearing a white fox snow robe.
The innocent little girl came over.
She wore a shining ink flower on her head, and her delicate little face was full of curiosity, and she was looking around.
As she looked, each of the long-term workers lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.
Not to mention that powerful figures like Ye Shang, the owner of Qingshi Gambling House, all came specially for her, and their eyes were full of doting on her.
You can imagine how much she is admired by all the stars.
Her name is Hua Mingzhu, and she is the daughter of the headmaster of the school. She is a well-deserved shining pearl in this area!
In the corner.
Hua Menghuang just glanced at Hua Mingzhu, then quickly lowered his head and silently looked at his toes.
Somehow, Hua Menghuang felt a little bitter in her heart.
Even though Hua Mingzhu is the same age as her, she enjoys all the favors, attracts everyone's attention, and is so dazzling, but she does not envy Hua Mingzhu in her heart.
Because Hua Menghuang just suddenly thought of grandma.
Her grandma would also love her in every possible way. If she could, she would also want her grandma to live a good life like Shan Chang. This was her dream.
But, it was too late for her to let her grandma enjoy the blessing...
