The Last Mecha

Chapter 161 The City of Obscurity (Two in One)

"Hey, Brother Lu misunderstood, why am I threatening you? There is an idiom called sympathy, do you know what it means? I saw you look so rough in the morning, are you itchy?"

"Hiss, could it be that you—"

"Yes, a fellow."

"Jiang Song, I've lived for so many years, I must be more familiar with you than you, I know where it's fun."

"You can't play for me, can you?"

"What do I do with your shameless money? I'm playing six rounds now, so I won't fall to your disadvantages. Maybe I won't see you when I look up and down. There's no need for that."

"Then why did you come to find me?"

"It's just that we see each other every day in this martial arts museum. The faces are familiar, and it's just that we are familiar with each other. There is no reason to lie to you, is there?"

"Yes." Lu Shouliang pondered for a while, and felt that it made sense, besides, having many like-minded people, he would not be alone in being punished in the future, it was not a bad thing.

Thinking about it this way, he really felt a little bit more sympathetic, so he said, "Don't call me Brother Lu, just be good."

"Hey, they're all brothers."

Wu Gou smiled calmly, thinking about how to gain trust, and tied the two of them together with a rope.

He needs some detailed information from Lu Shouliang about the cooperative foreign firm.

At that time, Jiangsong was the most prosperous city in the entire Xia Kingdom, and it was also known far and wide as the number one gambling city in the Far East. A mixed flow of people gathered, such as hooligans, singers, dancers, and businessmen. There is a strong wind of concealment.

Before the technology of the integrated miniature difference machine was commercialized, and before the electronic tube video camera and pocket handheld were born, the entertainment belonging to the common people was still very scarce, especially for those who could not read big characters. In addition to listening to books and drinking tea, the largest and most extensive Recreational activities are blogging, suitable for all ages, regardless of seniority or inferiority.

Except for Bayi House, Ximen Casino and other upper-class places known as Far East gambling caves, it is not difficult to find large and small mobile gambling stalls in the streets and alleys.

A small car, a piece of carpet, sitting on the ground and becoming a platform can be called a lot of money, and a few copper coins are thrown away. It is really rare and common. Although the Municipal Council has more and more controls in recent years, the overall effect is not great. When the street managers patrolling the city are in a bad mood, they will use leather sticks to drive people away, and when they are in a good mood, they will even take out a few sticks to join in.

The Dumper Lane adjacent to Yaoshui Lane is such a good location. It is located at the edge of the concession that is out of reach of the Municipal Council, and it is also a desolate place close to the shantytowns. Neither the inside nor the outside are willing to administer it.

Most of the visitors are commoners looking for fun, and there are absolutely no upper-class people who are making money every day.Most of the gambling and cover-ups opened are not large in amount, and generally speaking, they are played relatively softly.

But as long as anything related to the word "bo" is involved, once it comes to the top, it will always turn into water very quickly. To put it bluntly, it's not a good thing. It's really just entertainment, and you can get a dozen or so copper coins every day. It's fun There are always a small number of people in one night.

"Looks okay."

Lu Shouliang pinched his chin with one hand, turned his head and looked around for a long time, with the expression on his face as if he had returned home.

During the daytime, there is not a lot of people in this area, and there are not many people who are gambling. After all, facing the gambling dens of ordinary people, most people still have to live by themselves during the daytime.

The short street in front of you is full of potholes. From the left and right gates and windows, you can see the stalls made of table boards and linen. There are many types of Pai Gow, Mahjong, dice, and leaf cards.

"Then each play their own way."

Wu Gou took out a few coins, and then walked towards a courtyard gate without looking back.

Seeing his actions, Lu Shouliang no longer doubted Wu Gou.

He liked this at first, so he didn't want to have more breakfast, he just wanted to save more money for this kind of thing, now that he has found the right place, there is no reason why he can't get it.

So he reached into his pocket with one hand, his index finger and middle finger saw a few coins rubbing against each other and made a moving sound, he chose the one he liked, and strode into it with big strides.

It's just that Wu Gou, who turned around quietly, had a panoramic view of everything.

Lu likes to gamble, and has always been like this.

He was a late bloomer when it came to women, and he didn't lose his temper until he met his wife in his 30s, so he only had a few pleasures in his life-listening to books, watching theaters, and blogging.

It's just a pity that although Lu Shouliang loves this, his level is not good, and he loses more than he wins.

In his previous life, he had a big embarrassment. When he was on a business trip, on the first day of the new moon, he lost all the money Jiang Mulin gave him, and finally Dongchuang sent a message to reveal it.

That night, Wu Gou witnessed the most ruthless beating his master had ever given to an apprentice in his life. Jiang Mulin beat people in a very unique way. You are allowed to fight back. In your mouth, wait for you to get up.

If Wu Gou remembered correctly, that time Lu Shouliang got up and fell to the ground a hundred times, the skin on his hands and feet were all worn out, and his whole body was so red that he stopped.

He's restrained a lot since then, but now, obviously, he hasn't learned his lesson.

Lu Shouliang played steadily today. He brought out a big ten yuan. First, he lost one piece at the Baizi booth. The goddess of luck didn't favor him when the leaf card was played. After an hour, he still had seven yuan on hand.

Angry in his heart, he ran to play dice again, but he didn't expect to win a hand first, and then slipped into the abyss again.

As soon as this person got on top, the pressure became heavier and heavier. When he came back to his senses, Lu Shouliang's eyes twitched, looking at his palm, he almost saw his eyes.

I only have two cents left in my hand.

He pinched two yellowed tickets with his fingertips, his face full of despair.

"I can't play anymore, the remaining two corners are pulled down together."

The thin middle-aged man in front of him smiled, with the wind leaking from his mouth missing a front tooth, and he pressed the scarred dice cup with his withered left hand.

"Play"

Lu Shouliang was panting heavily, and the bloodshot eyes were slightly red. Although this is not a lot of money, it is still a small fortune for a person like him who does not make money. Recreation depends on them.

As usual, when people play at this point, they can't stop up and down. There are too many people in the water, and they can't move their legs even if there is a little bit left.

But the more like this, the easier it is to send in one wave.

As soon as he raised his arm, he was about to slap the two banknotes on the corner of the table, but was pulled by the arm behind him.

"what?"

Lu Shouliang turned his head, only to see Wu Gou standing behind him at some point, and his tone was a bit gunpowder in his desperate tone.

"If you press these two pieces of paper, [-]% of them will be gone." Wu Gou said lightly.

"Then I can't roll these two pieces of paper, can I?"

"I brought you here, I can't watch you lose everything here."

"I've lost so much fucking money before you tell me, you said you—"

"Well, how about lending me these two cents, and I help you win back the lost money?" Wu Gou interrupted him, his tone still calm.

Lu Shouliang was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his head with the back of his fist holding the banknotes, and his anger disappeared a lot. "Are you so capable?"

"If I can't win it back, I will share half of your loss for you."

"Really? You said it yourself, I didn't force you."

"Fidelity."

"Success, then I'll see what you can do."

As he spoke, he stuffed the sweaty twenty cents into Wu Gou's palm.

Wu Gou took the banknotes, separated one, and patted it on the small table.

"Five points."

"Butt and swish."

The toothless man cursed with a smile, then grabbed the dice cup with his left hand, shook it up and down, left and right for a while, and covered it on the table with a "bang".

"Big or small?"

"Small."

Wu Gou didn't hesitate.

The man with open teeth held the dice cup from top to bottom with his right hand and opened it, and there were three dice lying quietly inside.

Five, six, six.

He grinned at Wu Gou, stretched out his hand and pulled out the paper note in front of him, and while throwing back the five cents, he still said sarcastically, "You're not lucky."

"Come again."

Without changing his face, Wu Gou threw out the five points as well.

"Can you do it?"

Lu Shouliang jumped a little anxiously at the side, even if Wu Gou said that he would share half of the loss for himself, it would not be a big deal for him to take advantage of the future junior.

"fine."

Wu Gou said softly, and then remained calm, the qi all over his body suddenly condensed, concentrating on his ears and eyes.

"Big or small?"

On the other side, the dice cup of the man with broken teeth has fallen.

"Small."

Wu Gou still said one sentence simply.

The toothless man showed a smug smile, his right hand was pressing on the dice cup and was about to take it away, but he didn't want another strong arm to press on the back of his hand.

"What are you doing?" He looked at Wu Gou, his eyes fluctuating slightly.

"It means that there is no regret in betting, but it hasn't been opened yet. Can I make another bet?" Wu Gou smiled slightly, and took another dime, "Open big."

When the dice cup was opened, there were three dice, two fives and one six.

"Isn't this going to open?"

As the boy said, he pulled back the banknote from earlier.

Then he suddenly became smooth sailing, but every time before opening the cup, he doubled the pressure on the other end, tried and tested repeatedly, and Lu Shouliang was taken aback by the godlike kung fu.

After doubling this several times, the money in his hand has broken through two yuan.

The toothless man thought something was wrong, so he kept his right hand on the dice cup, slowly as if preparing to open it, and waited for Wu Gou to raise his bet.

However, there was no movement for a long time.

"Go on, are you stupid?"

Wu Gou looked at him with a smile.

The man had no choice but to open it, and sure enough, the Wu hook won again.

"interesting."

The authorities were obsessed, and Lu Shouliang watched the present from the side after he stopped playing, and even an idiot could see that there was a problem in this game.

Unexpectedly, when he saw that he couldn't continue playing, the toothless man immediately pushed the table in front of him and said: "Stop playing, you're out of luck."

"Then tell me, what's wrong with me?"

"I don't know, it must be out anyway, how can you win like this."

"That's how my brother lost just now."

"It's none of my business, anyway, I said no to play—"

The man had just finished speaking, when Wu Gou grabbed a finger with a ring on his right hand, pushed aside the dice cup and pressed it down hard.

"Hey yo."

Lu Shouliang was amazed when he saw the three dice approaching the man's finger, and they started to move on their own.

"Slippery dice, an old trick."

Only then did Wu Gou let go of the man and looked at him coldly.

Hollow out the middle of the dice, fill it with irregular lead, and then use a hidden magnet to suck it from the outside of the dice cup. When a master uses it, he can get whatever number he wants, and he is invincible.

It's just that although this technique is fine, the routine is too childish in front of Wu Gou.

"Shouliang, you know how to choose too. If you don't care about it, you are a banker who can do thousands of things."

Wu Gou said, but his heart was very clear. What kind of good things are those who are still playing gambling in the overturned alley during the day? Many gambling stalls open their businesses at night and earn fools’ money during the day. .

Even if you are discovered, there are few people in this meeting, and you are forced to dare not ask for it back.

"Damn it." Lu Shouliang's face was gloomy, and there was a burst of blood on his slightly clenched fists, but he thought that Jiang Mulin was not allowed to do anything casually, so he just said in a deep voice, "Old man, this has already been revealed, and I also I'm too lazy to make things difficult for you, just return the money!"

The barren-toothed man clicked his tongue, then turned his head and yelled towards the outside of the house. The four gatekeepers, Ah San, walked in waddlingly with their hands in their pockets.

Wu Gou saw that the four of them were not strong, but thin, and their stained pockets were bulging and turned outwards. A fool would know that there was something like a knife hidden there.

"Get out."

The toothless man raised his eyebrows and didn't bother to say anything.

Lu Shouliang was overjoyed when he saw the situation, he interlaced his fingers and made a crackling sound, and said, "Wu Gou, you said that Mr. Jiang said that if someone shows his fist, he can hit back. You said that should be fine. "

"Okay, I think, how about you be more steady?"

Wu Gou responded, and then stepped back to prepare to watch the play.

"I'm telling you to get lost, can't you hear me? Deaf people?"

Relying on Ah San, the leader of the four holding guys beside him, he swaggered forward with his hands on his hips, and spat hard at Lu Shouliang's feet.

Who knew that Lu Shouliang wasn't angry, but cheerfully pumped his chest and said, "I won't leave, you hit me."

The toothless man looked at the idiot's expression, and then swept his withered fingers along his cheek.

But in mid-air, someone grabbed his wrist, and the young man who was still smiling just now showed a terrified look in his eyes. He moved his arm slightly, and a frightening straight fist from his body smashed into the man's lower abdomen. .

The man shrank his eye sockets, spat out a mouthful of acidic water, and immediately curled up on the ground, his chest and abdomen convulsed and trembling.

Seeing this, Ah San, the leaders behind him, took out the things in their pockets one after another, the dazzling iron light flickered, and the four of them formed a row and surrounded them in an arc.

Lu Shouliang didn't even bother to look at them, so he threw his hands on the table beside him, and he grabbed the five-foot-long table and shook it, and the mud-yellow corner of the table smashed blood spots on one of the shoulders.

Before the remaining three people realized what happened, the black trousers swept over like steel whips. Amid the crisp sound of a string of bones, the four fell to the ground one after another like dominoes, unable to even howl. Didn't have time to howl twice.

After a long while, someone gasped for breath and wanted to get up, but he didn't want the young man in front of him to stand beside him coldly. Whenever there was a movement to get up, he would be kicked and turned over on his back. After several times in a row, he finally No one moved again.

"It's boring."

He rubbed his palms, turned around and walked towards the man with grim expression, picked up his collar, and said kindly: "Look, do you want to stop thinking about what you said just now?"
