"No, it's obviously one." The red-browed old man scratched his head in confusion. The cheater must pay. As for how much the compensation will be, it depends on the number of the cheater. Thirteen units will directly pay 108 times, let alone Originally, there weren't many broad beans left, and even when my pocket was full, there wasn't enough to compensate.

"What? It's obviously a two." The Mouse Spirit pointed at the card.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It doesn't count. Let's start over." One of the middle-aged men used retreat as an opportunity to advance.

"Hmph," the red-browed old man snorted displeasedly, "Who do you think the third master is? If you are willing to admit defeat, do you think I can't afford to lose?" After saying that, he stood up and took out a lychee-sized ball from his arms. The red gem was thrown to the man who spoke.

The man hurriedly reached out to catch it and put it into his sleeve. With a smile on his face, he thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you so much. Third Master is a trustworthy person. I accept it. I accept it."

"Come again." The red-browed old man sat down again.

"It's getting late. We have to leave. Let's discuss it another day." The middle-aged man said with his hands in hand.

"Yes, the days are long, and there are a lot of trivial things to do before the new year. I will come back to visit the third master after the new year." Another person agreed.

The old man with red eyebrows was still unsatisfied and tried his best to persuade them to stay, but the two old men insisted on leaving. In the end, the old man with red eyebrows did not force him to stay, so he had to set a date to send the two people on the ship.

"Those two Middle-earth men are the ones who cheated. Why did you let him lose?" Yuan Anning looked at the red-browed old man and the rat spirit who were sending the two crooks onto the boat.

"I want to test his character," Nanfeng said casually, "You can't see anything if you win. Only if you lose can you see this person's magnanimity and mind. This old bird has spiritual energy cultivation. Those two The old lady was no match for him, but he didn't turn his back on his debts. Although he was strong, he didn't bully the weak, which is very rare."

Yuan Anning was about to nod, but found that the red-browed old man who had just sent away the two crooks kicked Mouse Jing because Mouse Jing complained that he read the wrong cards.

"If you keep making noise, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish." The red-browed old man scolded angrily.

Similar things seemed to happen often. The rat spirit was not very angry after being kicked. Seeing that the red-browed old man was in a bad mood, he wisely said goodbye to him and went back to the mountain.

Although the red-browed old man admitted defeat, he was in a very bad mood. He cursed and put away the mahjong on the stone table, returned to the wooden house and dug out a jar of wine. He drank while sulking, saying that he was going to hell.

"So what?" Yuan Anning looked at Nanfeng.

"What do you think?" Nanfeng asked with a smile.

"Although this person is of good quality, he is violent and mean to his friends..."

Before Yuan Anning could finish speaking, Nanfeng waved her hand and interrupted her, "Don't jump to conclusions easily. You won't know until you try it."

"How to test?" Yuan Anning asked.

Nanfeng pondered for a moment, then quickly made a plan, "I have my own way."

After Nanfeng finished speaking, he walked elsewhere along the coast. Yuan Anning followed him and walked side by side with him under the sunset.

There are several volcanoes on this island, two of which have smoke coming out, which makes the temperature on the island very high. There are many birds and beasts, including venomous snakes. Most of them are deep in the island, and they are rare near the seaside. arrive.

"When you go back, look for a craftsman to make jewelry for you." Nanfeng handed Yuan Anning something.

Yuan Anning took it, looked closely, and found that it was the gem that the red-browed old man had lost to the two crooks before. Although she was surprised, she was not very surprised, because with Nanfeng's temper, she would not let bad people take possession of it. It was cheap, and if he wanted to get the gem from the old man, it was just a matter of effort.

The only strange people on the island are the red-browed old man and the rat spirit. The rest are just bigger. Animals in warm and humid places can grow very big. There are at least a dozen pythons as thick as a bucket, but they It's not very afraid of people. When it encounters the two of them, it just swims away slowly and doesn't come up to attack or bite.

The two of them inspected the island and found no abandoned houses or traces of human life. This showed that no ancient people had lived on this island before, at least no large-scale ancient people had lived here. This Hongmei The old man and the rat spirit are just natives of this place. They have become spirits in their old age and do not often interact with people on weekdays.

After the parade, Nanfeng came to the cave where the mouse spirit was. The cave was not big and it was very warm inside. Except for some empty food baskets and wine jars, there were few living utensils and no gold or silver utensils.

When the two arrived, the rat spirit had already revealed its true form and was gnawing on a large acorn. The cave was very smelly. After a brief look, the two covered their noses and walked out.

Yuan Anning tilted his head and looked at Nanfeng.

Although Yuan Anning didn't speak, Nanfeng knew what she was thinking. Although the red-browed old man's wooden house was messy, it contained many gold and silver utensils, while Mouse Jing's cave was very shabby and contained few valuables.

"On the island, gold and silver are as useless as bricks and stones." Nanfeng pointed at the cave entrance, "Have you seen those food baskets and wine jars under the forest? In the eyes of the old bird, foreign food is Good stuff, he wasn’t shy about sharing it with this rat.”

After Nanfeng finished speaking, Yuan Anning smiled.

The two people's tacit understanding at this time has reached the level where they can understand each other's thoughts without speaking. Just based on Yuan Anning's smile, Nanfeng knew that she did not fully agree with his speculation, but was just unwilling to refute it.

"I have no preconceived ideas about that old bird," Nanfeng said. "I'm optimistic about him because he's really worthy of me."

Yuan Anning tilted his head and waited for him to continue.

Nanfeng said, "A master who treats his servants with courtesy will nine times out of ten be a bad master who is stingy in giving, because the master-slave relationship itself has distinctions between superiority and inferiority. If it seems that there is none, it is a cover-up of hypocrisy. the result of."

What Nanfeng said was rather profound, and Yuan Anning couldn't understand it for a while.

Seeing the confusion on Yuan Anning's face, Nanfeng continued to explain, "Let's put it this way, a master who is truly kind to his servants will not be the kind of master who is usually nice to his servants. Because there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, the master does not need to He is pleasant to his servants."

After Nanfeng finished speaking, Yuan Anning asked, "What do you mean by your words, is the old man transformed by the bird a sincere expression of his scolding and abuse at this rat?"

"Yes," Nanfeng said with a smile, "A master who scolds his servants may not be a good master, but a master who doesn't scold his servants is definitely not a good master."

Yuan Anning nodded.

Nanfeng could tell whether Yuan Anning was convinced or not, "If you don't believe me, let's take a gamble."

"Betting again? What are you betting on?" Yuan Anning asked with a smile.

Nanfeng pointed at the rat spirit that was eating acorns in the cave, "Don't look at the old bird beating and scolding this guy. Once this guy's life is threatened, the old bird will risk his life to protect it." .”

"Unless it's about life or death, there's nothing to tell." Yuan Anning said.

"It's simple, let him choose between the bond between master and servant and his own life and death." Nanfeng said, this is what he wanted to do after pondering before. To judge whether a person is good or bad, it depends on his nature. , everyone has small problems, as long as he makes the right choice in the face of big right and wrong, this person can be regarded as a good person.

"How to do it?" Yuan Anning asked.

Nanfeng thought for a while, pointed to the cave and said, "You can't take action rashly, you have to find a way to make it right, otherwise there will be no reason to take action."

"You turn into a woman and tease it." Yuan Anning said.

"You don't need to keep silent first. You are my woman. Even if you don't tell me, I won't let you seduce her." Nanfeng said.

Yuan Anning smiled.

Nan Feng raised his hand and pointed to the north, "This guy is greedy for food and drink. Let's get some food and drink from the shore, lure him to eat, seize the opportunity to take it, force the old bird to take action, and test his character." Fuck, let’s test his magical power again…”

.I wish you all a happy new year and may you have more blessings and longevity.
