gambler
There is a gambler in the village. He is lazy and addicted to gambling. His parents were angry to death because of his gambling. Now he is in his thirties and has not yet married a wife. Everyone in the village knows that he is useless and they dare not propose marriage to him. Without the control of his family, he indulged himself even more, often being obsessed with casinos and staying up all night.
One night, he lost a lot of money in the casino, and his creditors were forcing him hard. He had no choice but to go back and sell his home to pay off his gambling debts.
Before going home, he went to a hotel he frequented and bought a bottle of wine on credit. After he finished the bottle of wine, he felt dizzy and couldn't walk up the road. Seeing that the night was already deep, he planned to find a place to rest, but thinking of the fierce appearance of his creditors , he thought again. He stumbled towards home with strong energy.
He had to pass by a cemetery on the way. When he came here, he saw a man holding a black umbrella standing in front of him from a distance. He was confused. It wasn't raining, it was night, and the moon was shining brightly. Why did he hold an umbrella? Is this person mentally ill? With these questions, he approached the man, and at the same time, the man turned to look at him. It didn't matter that he turned around, he broke out in a cold sweat and woke up from the wine. He saw that this person was none other than a fellow gambler who died due to gambling the year before. He saw that the appearance of the gambler was the same as before he died, except that his body under his head was all white bones. No meat. Seeing this scene, he was so frightened that his whole body was like chaff and he kept shaking.
At this time, the gambling friend spoke: "Brother, I became a pauper again in the underworld through gambling, and now I am still carrying a lot of debts. Those creditors are chasing me, and there is no other way. I thought you still owe me some gambling debts, so I came here I've paid my debt to you in the underworld.
Hearing the words of the gambler, he was so frightened that he could no longer move. Then he saw an old man walking towards them. When the old man walked in front of him, he saw clearly that the old man was the one who was being killed. His furious father.
The old man said to the gambling friend: "Don't embarrass my son. I paid off the gambling debt he owed you." Then he said to him: "My son, when you go back, don't gamble anymore, and don't gamble anymore." The house has been sold and you have to live a good life so that your mother and I can rest in peace underground." After that, he floated into the cemetery with the gambler and disappeared.
Regarding everything that suddenly happened in front of him, he seemed to have had a nightmare. He looked around in disbelief. When he saw that the cemetery was gloomy and scary, he was so frightened that he crawled to the ground. Run home.
The next day, he went to his parents' graves and burned some paper money, and vowed to his parents' graves that he would change his ways and never gamble again. From then on, he really changed his ways and stopped gambling. A few years later, he saved some money, married a beautiful wife, and lived a peaceful life.
