說罷黑爺寒著背，像頭衰老的黑熊般走回廚房。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlctP4Za86M
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlR51BDsny
白爺現出副無奈的表情，望著黃炏兩兄妹：「沒辦法了，他都頹廢到這副徳性。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jJMcWNlhl
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdpvh1zL3D
「黑爺通常在哪兒賭錢？」小羽好奇的問：「靈界賭博要過大海嗎？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6GpEYX1DR
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4HpXs8Ox9
「不用，他都是跟廚房的同事對賭。」白爺嚥下一口涼茶，失望的吐出一句：「他的同事個個贏得風生水起，就是有他一個愈賭愈窮。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8tVG91Y77
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaPuTs7GMy
黃炏托一下眼鏡：「那很明顯就是騙局啦。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer3i1iWaGz
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2z0lC0YLL
「是有這個可能...可是有好幾次他賭番攤我也在場，我也完全看不出破綻。」白爺轉向黃炏，顯然對這可能性很有興趣：「反正我們要等到天亮。不如留下來看看他們開賭的情況，好嗎？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPLhsZwnxU
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZQrAq797d
黃炏點點頭，似乎對這提議不太有信心。小羽卻顯得無比興奮，彷彿以為自己正在去搗破犯罪集團似的。 534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Fxh6sqxz
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb23Mi4grz
兩個時辰以後。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iPhS5FC87
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMyMZ2OCIv
空地的食客已經走得八八九九，小羽望望手錶顯示著陽間下午兩點鐘，那麼陰間時間就是零晨時份吧。廚房傳出清潔工具乒乒乓乓的噪音，樓面大嬸也把木椅放到桌子上清潔。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bFOcpTK3L
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6gxiwiQ3a
黑爺換了一身全黑的古裝便服（當然也是縫縫補補的），一見到白爺三個人仍在，當下結巴起來。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyPxJkVrJU
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyjjhXT0rE
「唉呀，你你你們幾個幹嘛不離開...？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Bdm119wE
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ukW2EnoN6
「我想賭錢。」小羽叉起手站起來，露出個奸狡的微笑。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt93bryZ7w
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWlWWpmApv
白爺向黑爺後頭的同事打聲招呼：「對啊。今晚參我們一份，一起賭個痛快！」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsVZgind2q
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH86TpRYL0
小羽把目光轉向黑爺身後那幫廚房同僚，不其然打了個突。十數個全身金黃色、外貌一模一樣的光頭漢子從廚房走出來，圍在最大的一張木桌上。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wA8T2N6b7
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl61JtQVDuU
「這群金屬和尚是黑爺的同事？」黃炏偷偷問白爺。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnczAc3JwUM
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WBkAJXAb8
「對啊，他們叫做銅人，全身上下都是金屬，大概也算是種妖怪吧。」白爺笑咪咪的回敬黑爺一個笑臉：「廚房會濕水嘛，又會明火，所以不可以用式神；有規模的餐廳都會聘請這種半人半妖的銅人，去處理廚房工作。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJfR5KysK1
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT21TUPROet
「銅人嗎...但他們是金色啊...」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGu2OJpJ9y
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Njxt2FpmE
「銅人都是發錢寒的守財奴，最喜歡把賺了的錢往自己身上電鍍上鋼鐵呀、白銀呀，當然最喜歡還是貼金！」白爺繼續解釋道：「他們一身光鮮的金箔，就是從黑爺口袋裡贏回來的。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe4qPaumwE
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6czIv3FMuv
再多的銅人在廚房出來，圍站在一張舖上白布的大木桌，白布上分了四格，分別繡上『一二三四』四組大字。銅人的臉上都是閃閃亮亮的黃金顏色，直至去到胸口和手臂才變回黃銅的橙黃色。小羽實在很難苟同這種審美觀點，不過想深一層，他們也許覺得只把金子打成首飾掛在頸上很戇居。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbFWOoAWVl
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucPl8FIL2N
其中一個看來是老大哥的銅人，捧著一盤賭具走過來。他臉上只是普通的黃銅顏色，兩條手臂卻𤳉滿滿的貼上了金箔，雙手雙臂都閃閃發光。莊家銅人拿出了一盤金金銀銀的銅錢，還有一個大湯碗。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm724PXOqZu
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwia10nvkwu
「你們幾個看我今晚大殺三方！」黑爺磨半拳擦掌，彷彿把剛才的悔意拋到九宵雲外。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrxF87FPJs
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gICOKkZzq
「我看你還是戒賭罷了...」白爺還在旁邊碎碎唸，黑爺耳朵明顯沒聽得進半句。 534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG74Oyo6n6
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLuHcaEwri
「就賭多這一次。」黑爺焦點就只剩下桌上的賭具了。百多枚顏色不一的舊銅板堆滿一桌，中間一個方孔，都是些古裝劇才見到的生鏽銅錢。白爺跟兩旁的黃炏小羽解釋道：「他們最喜歡賭的是番攤。莊家反轉大碗子，隨手罩住一部分銅錢，再讓大家猜。銅錢四個一組，只要猜中餘數，就可以贏回四倍下注的注碼。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAVsks0lHM
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIGGQy2g8B
「奇怪了。」黃炏扁著嘴：「如果是一賠四的話，莊家佔不到甜頭，長遠下去莊家和賭客都只會平手。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy1oVRTYec
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjcakHxE7f
「會平手的話，黑爺就不會搞得一窮二白。」白爺目光落在老拍檔的背影上，不勝唏噓。「所有銅人身上貼的金，基本上都是黑爺的退休金，還有這幾十年的薪水。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeVtF9b98H
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NJKB7tx7s
「唯一解釋，就是有人耍了詐。」黃炏托著下巴，認真得就像個青年版的柯南：「即是出千。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjsZSyrhSc
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI8WscR2dw
白爺反駁：「黑爺和我連千百把飛劍暗箭都能看得清清楚楚，掩眼法這等把戲怎可能逃得過我雙眼！？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3TJhik2Jo
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtW7nMPNXl
「出千呢，又不是一定要用掩眼法。」黃炏坐到桌邊，全神貫注地望著賭局：「最重要是腦袋啊，是腦袋。」 534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwR8waHc7i
十幾個銅人都望一望黃炏他們，好像不甚歡迎黑爺的朋友加入。直至白爺在衣袖掏出幾錠金子，銅人臉上閃出一絲貪婪的奸笑，歡迎新賭客加入。白爺小羽一左一右，坐到黃炏兩旁，全神貫注看著黑爺下注。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyelhrCsqB
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QFFdxFdaZ
幾注過後。「黑爺手風怎樣？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bCoPRSGBY
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡardOfFxj26
「還算不賴，把上個月的薪水都掙回來了！」黑爺舉起葫蘆酒瓶，灌了一大口孖蒸：「老子今晚手氣好，你們這等禿驢看著，今天等我殺你們一個片甲不留。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT33nPBNzEP
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiIXTn4AKf
幾個銅人沒甚麼表情，互望一眼，又似乎禁不住地暗笑了一下。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvBOlTQXPd
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvtO7uCeRf
黃炏在小羽耳朵低聲地說了一聲：「這是請君入甕。黑爺也開始醉了。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhziYIH85L
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd368UdlEU
桌面上上百塊銅錢，有的深色殘舊、有些較新淨，咚咚噹噹的湊在一起。莊家銅人反轉大碗一把蓋住了大半的銅板。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg6HZWNhEL
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPj38uQR0v
小羽扁扁嘴，「白爺，你數得到大碗裡有多少銅板嗎？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgtESa6Jer
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgda0Qd547
「大約四十多塊...」白爺搖搖頭：「動作太快、時間太短，沒可能趕得及計數。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw8TV52suT
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzMAh8fy7f
其他十數個當閒家的銅人，猶豫半下，然後就紛紛下注。可是他們有的選一、有的選二，選三四的人也不少，這意味著有些銅人會猜對了開盤贏錢，有些卻賠錢。這根本不像是串謀的嘛...534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGk36XHrfm
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59w1eog7JO
「買定離手，買定離手！」莊家的銅人執起大盤子，在手中揮灑地轉了兩圈。他拿著細長的竹技把銅錢四個四個分好。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoMvQq76eu
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRR5vy4mXM
「一點呀。」莊家通殺買了二三四的銀兩，再賠買中了的同僚。有人贏有人輸，根本沒出千的跡象。就這樣多開了兩舖，黑爺都押錯了注。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQXK0hFxAa
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH9thAOhMj
「來來來...買定離手！」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7ZSMNr50b
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c8fdw1JXy
黃炏把手收到枱下，在白爺和小羽的手背上，用指頭明確的點了四下。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1op3hKeNdW
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIaCCOPcC1
莊家開盤點算，「嗯...這場開四啊。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Hm8afWWE
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xq7AhWHkT
白爺和小羽立時瞪大眼睛，望著木無表情的黃炏。他轉過去望望白爺，偷偷又在手背上發了個明顯的暗號：手指頭點了兩下。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9wqpmb571
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbGwoGz4dV
莊家開始倒贏，黑爺的氣燄開始收斂下來。「啊...這舖開二。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8JW7aC6jD
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ktpXv3EIk
白爺抽一口氣，心忖：難道這小子竟然數得到碗底的銅幣...不，他應該是破解了銅人通風報訊的暗號才對！可是黃炏的臉色仍然是一臉疑慮，手指頭再在白爺手背點了三下。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82X5idbOlC
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3muE8UXBy
「我買三！」黑爺喝一聲，把一錠銀子拍到賭枱上，彷彿拍得夠大力勝算會高一點。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MUnf79DJL
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpXwp7iEAe
白爺伸出手正想下注，卻給黃炏按住：「再等一下。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ9FcSrQ96
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEpAhTtUsO
碗子緩緩升起，莊家有條不紊地把銅板分好。銅錢愈來愈少，黑爺就愈緊張，雙拳握得像找人打架。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0xYoP86tQ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthhWzeW5mv
「不好意思啊...」莊家把最後四塊銅錢撥開：「...兩點」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0qHFRkLfc
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONMjYiBsRb
「唉喲...」黑爺拿出錢包，看來剛才枱面上的賭本已經輸光光。白爺看看預測失靈的黃炏，臉上卻出現一個胸有成竹的笑意。「小羽白爺，跟我過來一下...」 534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRceE5VkLYD
