Before he could react at all, the talisman seemed to have wings, flying towards him accurately and quickly sticking to his forehead.
The next second, Qihe's pupils dilated and his eyes suddenly became dull.
Du Lijuan and Hu Ping had never seen such a scene before. They didn't even care about being angry. They stared at the talisman and the river flying towards them with wide eyes in surprise.
Lin Xi ignored them and just spoke to the He who had the mantra talisman stuck on him.
"Did you swear an oath on the safety of your family?"
The river that had been stubborn before now nodded obediently and told the truth.
"Yes, I swore it on the safety of my family."
After hearing this, Du Lijuan and Hu Ping were completely disappointed.
Although they had just been mentally prepared and knew that Qihe had definitely done such a thing.
Even after hearing him admit it in person, she still felt a pang of pain and deep disappointment.
He actually swore on their safety!
Lin Xi asked Qie He again: "Why do you do this?"
Qihe was completely unable to control his mouth and told the whole story in detail again.
......
Later, when no one in the family knew about it, Qianhe secretly became addicted to gambling.
There was a period of time before when their department was not so busy and they got off work earlier.
It was only seven o'clock, and there were still two hours before the usual nine o'clock end of get off work.
He had originally planned to ride his bike straight home.
But when I thought about having nothing to do when I got home, I suddenly felt extremely bored.
He lived in a village where there were usually no entertainment activities in the evenings. Every household would go to bed after dinner.
And even if he came home early, he would just lie on the bed, play with his phone, watch short videos, etc.
After a long time of living like this, I started to feel bored.
He finally got off work two hours early today, so he thought he might as well go to the town and have some fun.
But now that he has free time, he doesn't know where to go.
Just as I was thinking this, I saw a co-worker with whom I had a good relationship hurriedly walking out.
Xihe immediately stopped him and asked him whether he was going home or what he was doing.
When the worker saw it was him, he immediately chuckled and said, "Why are you going home so early? Go out and play for a while."
When he heard his coworkers wanted to go out and play, he immediately said, "Hey, take me with you! I'm just looking for a place to play!"
I thought my coworker would agree directly, but he looked embarrassed, as if he was in a difficult situation.
Seeing him like this, Qihe suddenly became more curious.
Seeing how hurried he was just now, we can imagine that he must be very interested in the place he is about to visit. It must be a good place.
As a result, when he asked his coworker to take him there, he started to procrastinate.
Qianhe couldn't help but curse in his heart that this worker was really unfair, but he continued to urge him with a smile on his face.
"Okay, you're a grown man, why are you being so fussy? What's wrong with taking me to see him? Are you still worried about me?"
Finally, unable to resist Qianhe's inquiries, the worker agreed to take Qianhe to the place where he could play.
But on the way there, he repeatedly stressed to Qiehe that this must not be told to anyone else, otherwise they would not even be able to be friends anymore.
At first, Xiahe didn't know why his coworker was so cautious. It was not until he went to the place he mentioned that he realized that he was right to be cautious.
Because what he was looking for was a card room hidden in a residential area.
Now that I know where this place is, I am a little hesitant to go there.
Although he has not achieved much since he was a child, he has always abided by the law and has never done anything out of the ordinary.
You can tell at first glance that this place isn't a serious one.
But looking at his coworkers, it seemed like they had been here countless times and there didn't seem to be any problems.
He even looked eager to try, and wanted to enter very urgently.
Although Qihe is very timid, he is a person who cares a lot about his reputation.
We were already at the door, but the key point was that he was the one who insisted on coming over.
If he said he was afraid to go in now, his coworkers would laugh at him behind his back.
So in the end, Xihe mustered up the courage to pretend nothing had happened and walked into the room.
He had originally planned to take a look inside and then leave, but he never expected that once he entered, he would never be able to get out again...
In fact, Qihe didn't play that night, but he accidentally saw someone become rich overnight. He turned the tables in one round and earned more money than he might earn in a year.
The greed in his heart was aroused by what he saw and heard that night, and it quickly expanded. Not surprisingly, the river sank into his heart.
At first he may have been lucky and won several times in a row, and then he tasted the sweetness.
But good luck doesn't always accompany him. Within two days, Qiehe almost lost all his pants.
Most of his salary at that time was used to supplement his family expenses, leaving very little money.
But after many years, I still have about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in my hands.
In less than a week, Xihe had spent all the money he had.
When I suddenly realized that I had no money left, I realized that I had lost so much!
When his friends saw that he had spent all his private money, they were scared and quickly persuaded him to stop.
Unfortunately, at this time, the old man could no longer listen to me.
His mind was full of thoughts about how to win back the money he had lost.
But he is now out of money and has no way to continue, so he can only borrow from friends.
The first friend was that co-worker.
The worker felt a little guilty when he thought about the fact that he was the one who brought Xihe to this place, so when Xihe asked him to borrow money for the first time, he lent it.
But when he lent money to Qianhe, he repeatedly emphasized to Qianhe that he should stop after winning once and not think about winning back all that Qianhe had earned.
He has been playing here for so long but has never encountered a situation like a river where he loses all his money. The reason he did this is because he cut his losses in time.
He knew too well how terrible this thing was. The probability of getting rich overnight was comparable to winning the lottery, but the number of people who lost everything was countless.
So he would just play a few rounds and then quit, just to satisfy his desire. If he won, he would give his family an extra dish every day, and if he lost, he would smoke one less pack of cigarettes.
But I didn't expect that Xihe's luck was so bad that he didn't win a single hand. I also didn't expect that Xihe had such poor self-control that he went to the card room as soon as he got off work and refused to listen to anything I said.
In the end, the worker was too lazy to care about him. Anyway, no matter what he said, the man would not listen, so it would only be a waste of time.
Without anyone to persuade him, Xiao He became even more unscrupulous. For a few days, he even skipped the night shift to play cards. He was often absent-minded during work, and only after being severely scolded by the foreman did he restrain himself.
He had been hiding the fact of playing cards from his family, but he was unwilling to lose more and more money, so in the end he had to keep borrowing money from his co-workers and brothers and friends.
Every time I borrowed a few hundred or a thousand yuan, I said I was using it for emergencies and would pay it back soon.
Those who borrowed money from him didn't think much about it. They just thought that He was really short of that little money at the time and would pay it back in a couple of days.
However, after the agreed time for repayment, He showed no intention of paying it back.
Those who are thin-skinned are too embarrassed to ask for help.
But some people were worried that Qiehe would not pay back the money, so they came to ask him directly.
When people asked him to pay back the money, he was not in a hurry and made excuses to refuse again.
Once or twice, others still choose to continue to believe him and give him face.
But after it happened many times, everyone began to suspect that he was deliberately not wanting to pay back the money.
At this time, He had already used all kinds of excuses.
He originally wanted to drag everyone along first, and then return the money to everyone immediately after he won it back.
But my luck has always been bad. I won a few times, but I lost more often.
In this way, I will not be able to pay back the money.
Seeing that the excuses he had made before were almost useless, he had no choice but to use his ultimate move.
He swore on everyone who came to collect debts from him, and he swore a poisonous oath in the name of his own family.
He said, "I swear to God, I will pay you back next time. If you don't, my whole family will be wiped out!"
When those people heard his oath, they were so frightened that they dared not say anything.
After all, in their country, swearing an oath on the safety and life of oneself or one's family members is absolutely a gamble of absolute confidence.
Although they often do not believe in so-called oaths, if they are asked to swear on their own lives or the safety of their families, most people really do not dare to do so.
As people often say, it is better to believe it than not to believe it.
What if there really is a god listening to this thing, and it accidentally comes true?
Wouldn't that be harming yourself and your family with your own hands?
So basically no one dares to say such things.
Seeing that Qihe had made such a solemn oath, everyone believed his determination and continued to give him opportunities.
In fact, when Qihe made such a poisonous oath for the first time, he was still a little nervous.
However, what he was afraid of was not that his family would really be affected by the oath he made, but that such oath would not be enough to intimidate the creditors.
If this method fails to calm them down, the fact that he has borrowed a lot of money from outside will definitely be exposed.
How will others see me then?!
Fortunately, his gamble paid off, and almost all of his creditors gave him another chance because of his oath.
After realizing that this method was successful, he was still complacent, thinking that he had successfully deceived the creditors again. He would have to use more ruthless methods next time.
Unexpectedly, before I could be proud for long, accidents started to happen one after another at home.
The first person to get hurt was himself, and then his family members.
......
After listening to the story of the river, his mother Du Lijuan and his wife Hu Ping were so angry that their eyes turned red.
