After finishing training in the courtyard in the morning, he returned home and had breakfast. The country’s rice was made the earliest. An everyday home-cooked meal is nothing more than corn noodle soup, boiled millet porridge, and pickles. After eating, there is nothing to do.

One day, Tong Lin got up a little late, finished his kung fu, went outside the village for a leisurely wand, and entered the west village entrance. There are three houses in the north, which are publicly located in the village and specialize in all public affairs in the village. The village at night. All idle people and old people in this village are willing to come here to sit down and talk and play cards. Tong Lin entered the entrance of Xicun and saw many people chatting in the house.

Tong Lin is very close to his neighbors in the harmonious village. People love him very much. Liu asks him: “Haichuan, what’s up, Why not come to sit here?” Tong Linehan smiled and answered, “Housework is too busy. How are you always good?” Then he entered the room and sat down together. Liu started with a smile and said, “Haichuan, you are all right. Some of us are also free today. We are about to play cards. You are here. Could join us? Let’s relax and solve the boredom.”
Tong Lin did not answer, and a person next to him replied: “Playing cards, you have to add me.” Tong Lin listened, and some of them were unhappy. how? This person has a bad character and is a rogue. Anyone who is richer in the village is not afraid of him. For what?

What kind of character is Wang? It’s not easy to offend him, as the saying goes: You can offend gentlemen, not offend villains. Tong Lin laughed: “Wang brother, you want to play, let you! I really have no time.” The green grass snake heard it, rolled its eyes so much, and grinned, saying: “Hey! Haichuan, you don’t play cards “You are more concerned about me ?” Tong Lin quickly smiled: “San brother, you were willing to play card, I still like to come with you. ” Wang San Leng smiled: “Yes, then we four. Who are they? “Lord Ye replied,” Is there Zhang Er, aren’t our four good? “Zhang Erye said,” Let’s take off the front and rear windows and let the atmosphere be cool. “Everyone said,” Yes! “Wang San says: Haichuan, go inside, lean on the window sill facing north. “Haichuan laughed:” I am young, how can I be like that? “Everyone said,” OK, OK. “” Then I dare to comply “” Er Zhang is on the east, Liu is on the west, and Wang is sitting on the south. What about our cards? “Everyone took the cards, put the pads, and put them in the middle. Wang San said, “Haichuan, you grab the card first.” Tong Lin smiled. “If I grab first, I will be the first card.” “How can I put it so? You grab it.” Nine thousand, “How about? It’s my first card.” Everyone said, “You really have the first card.” So the four played cards.

Only Wang San has always had bad behavior. When he really bets on money, there is much ugliness, either by falling cards or scolding the streets, with a craving for the betting cards to win money. He didn’t have much money at first, and when he sat down, he wanted to win, and when he lost, he went to fight. . Coincidentally, all three of them lost money, that is, Tong Lin won the money alone.

He was anxious to steal the card. 70,000, hurry up and announce the good news to my family. “Tong Lin’s eyes sharp, and when he saw Wang San was stealing a card, Tong Lin put his cards on the table, and said,” San Brother, we can’t pay this money. ” Wang San stared at him and said, “What? It was so easy for me to win back. Tong Lin, can’t you bully me? “Tong Lin went on:” You stole from a mess, and I will do that too! “
Wang San heard it, slammed into the air, and said, “Did you see that I stole it?” Between words, he stood up. At this moment, Tong Lin saw Wang San was ashamed and angry, and he was about to use force. a Tong Lin stood up, Face to Wang San. The green grass snake pointed at Tong Lin with his left finger and said, “You are abominable.” Then with his right hand, he “snapped” on Tong Lin’s face with an ear scraper.

He yelled, “Wow!” He was about to rush up and punch Tong Lin.
There are a lot of people in the house. There are more than a dozen people who even watch the gambling cards. Can they still watch them fight?
Everyone had to persuade, there are naturally more people towards Tong Lin. Elder Liu stepped forward and laughed: “San brother, you are not allowed to do this. Tong Lin is young and ignorant, we have a comment.” Wang San looked at everyone, knowing that they could not let him fight today, He shouted: “The surname is Tong, I can’t finish it with you!” Tong Lin replied: “Okay!” Exclaimed sternly: “Wang San, I want to hit you today!” Wang San shaking and shouting loudly: “Too many people today, this is not the place to fight, You remember we have a combat someday, Goodbye.” Wang San said, turned around, Runaway. This is Wang San, who knows he can’t beat Tong Lin.
Everyone persuaded Tong Lin, Tong Lin’s anger remained. Liu said, “Haichuan, what’s the matter with you, what fights with him? It is said that people don’t fight with a dog. In fact, we all saw him stealing a card, so you have to pretend that you didn’t see it. No. If you want to understand, what’s the point of making trouble? Besides, can’t we make you fight even we are present? I see Wang San later, and I will be kind to you in the future, so I have to meet with you two, and make you are peace. lest Who will look for in the future. Besides, if this matter passed to your elderly, wouldn’t we all look bad? Come on, you also calm down, think about it.” Tong Lin said:” This man is really abominable. I have long known him, If not for everyone to persuade us, I must have a lesson for him today.” Everyone listened and laughed together:” Come down, Tong Lin, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it with him. Come on, let’s play card with the three of us. “Tong Lin said:” It’s too later, I have to go home. I’m angry with Wang San today. If my father knows, he wants angry and scolded. Let’s play card another day, I have to go home. ” He said goodbye to everyone and went home. As he walked, he thought about it” The man, Wang San is really not a good person, but I should be careful to guard against him. ” “Since then, Tong Lin careful himself day and night, but fortunately nothing happened.
