說罷黑爺寒著背，像頭衰老的黑熊般走回廚房。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv3RnQgbDK
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFTHcNFKVD
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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5WUQ6i6BK
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M7B1mYENU
「黑爺通常在哪兒賭錢？」小羽好奇的問：「靈界賭博要過大海嗎？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMOYnpn2Yh
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkKvTKstM9
「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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DzQfFMK10
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5ti2IHUqN
黃炏托一下眼鏡：「那很明顯就是騙局啦。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX2rYUtZaM
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0okBOXzzBB
「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？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX88H7FaW4V
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNi4dKNdDs
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。 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRd11DLb0j
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrFE8TmR2W
兩個時辰以後。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbxsZ3u60F
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cw0uVXeQB
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ565LJZaf0T
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjex3MMZkRq
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsgmX5jNoN
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGhD7tePkC
「唉呀，你你你們幾個幹嘛不離開...？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfanmK8Kb0
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MOE2EDEG9
「我想賭錢。」小羽叉起手站起來，露出個奸狡的微笑。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qJ15sTb3o
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8MgfTm0HQ
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！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj18A6I62f
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAoVj5xy7d
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg0WV0MTLa
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTkPflpumh
「這群金屬和尚是黑爺的同事？」黃炏偷偷問白爺。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHZy9jomW8
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGlIAb0Bh6
「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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvClnyiZgiE
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Bc7sBVCt
「銅人嗎...但他們是金色啊...」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEQIaMEOLj
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt0xkqPCyL
「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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsIdU1heQl
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNxMdecmkF
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmRSnNOti6
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhFyf3uAo5
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p9xNfxlB1
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaIfCBlvat
「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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2CRrfAEGO
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl387K4Jfo1
「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。 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCpgED8k3s
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcohCbUxrWV
「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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAx6XQI7tW
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRAmRodVbw
「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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABUz4K9us5
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvULAU3kZRq
「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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx1jomloPu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuJQn3KY4n
「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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkApvAgmeRo
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eBjbT96nP
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！？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0mW5MX7pE
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSByesTREs
「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。」 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf8LS6y5sS
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAvgj9ZktP
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J8meXg9nX
幾注過後。「黑爺手風怎樣？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLZZHeJz8n
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Yqh6SEeq
「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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItLTlMRFKF
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtZnHb8gCU
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNixPHo85q
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6UI3Gqp8q
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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Mpui74ma
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxmjUf57Ob
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuSdPoSklY
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv76VAuaC4K
小羽扁扁嘴，「白爺，你數得到大碗裡有多少銅板嗎？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4mNzI7E8r
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DwL3rgDJJ
「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。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP3fo1HPwf
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnjCk5nAUR
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...459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5ryEddgfK
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYMHweLQ14
「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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA52lPCjxAP
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DdR2syMbD
「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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWUwnj8d7o
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0VwkbR5AM
「來來來...買定離手！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxcwDE2B2M
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsn28gmWd2
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUJDVWvmUq
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfGAXMfzOS
莊家開盤點算，「嗯...這場開四啊。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ahP1TOdMa
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa0oSlB3ip
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpJyHnbC02
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUiYneGe8B
莊家開始倒贏，黑爺的氣燄開始收斂下來。「啊...這舖開二。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTIKMZeIQV
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJgN7Ed58M
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfSX0cE56R
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtfyLF8DRD
「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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyLuMhZXI0
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rg3XvmzwG
白爺伸出手正想下注，卻給黃炏按住：「再等一下。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv68Y1LnMF
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIA4jEKYdv
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31gTq3Xt8t
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOflY6LtT4I
「不好意思啊...」莊家把最後四塊銅錢撥開：「...兩點」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yx9VuieUF
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKpDtAN4yN
「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...」 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3HZKBvChs
