my old life

Chapter 264 Killing fish to warn fish in water
Sometimes my intuition is so sharp but I can't tell clearly, but I can feel that the five or six guys in front of me don't look like gamblers, but like gangsters.

All of them were teasing with cigarettes in their mouths, and they looked at us like they were slaughtered lambs, which made people feel unbearable from the heart.

The island in the middle of the lake is more than 200 meters away from the shore. The old man who was rowing the boat had already rowed away. Standing here is really hard to escape...

Now I really fulfilled the old saying, if I get on a pirate ship and can’t get off, my intestines are green from regret.

No matter how far Brother Bin and the others are, if they are tricked into coming here, let alone trying to win a penny, it is still unknown whether they can leave alive.

"Come on, hurry up, I'll wait for you." A bald man in his 50s greeted him with a hoarse voice and a smile on his face. He looked only 1.6 meters tall.

"Boss Wang, why are there so many faces in this game today?" Brother Bin asked warily, and I thought it would be best to leave as soon as possible, the ghost would want to get mixed up with this kind of person.

"It's okay, they're all old-fashioned builds, and they're all clean." Boss Wang said politely, and waved a guy in camouflage uniform behind him with a tray.

Brother Bin hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand the rules, put your cell phone in the car, and take out your cell phone if you have one."

The little skinny guy took out his mobile phone and put it on the tray. I hesitated and took out the mobile phone. I thought they might conduct a body search, and it would be troublesome if it was found.

However, Su Yurong didn't take his mobile phone. Boss Wang looked at him meaningfully and motioned for the camouflage uniform to come and search him.

"Hurry up and take out your phone, we'll return it when we're done." I said quickly, for fear that he would be found out.

"The phone is out of battery, so I didn't bring it here." He spread his hands and looked indifferent. After a simple search, he couldn't find the phone, so I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the camouflage uniform dig out the batteries of all the mobile phones, and then enter the house with a tray, and he came out again with a short knife in a blink of an eye, I subconsciously dodged backwards.

"Hurry up and kill the fish and prepare to eat, let your friends taste our black fish!" Boss Wang yelled at the camouflage uniform, and my heart skipped a beat. It sounded weird.

When Laoqian was in the game, killing fish meant killing those who didn't know how to perform tricks. Who is the water fish on the island in the middle of the lake?
On one side of the bungalow near the water was a large cauldron burning, and a large black fish was hanging from a shelf next to it. The guy in camouflage uniform started to kill the fish, blood was all over his hands when he stabbed it down.

This fish killing really makes people think about it. I don't know if it's a deliberate deterrent or preparing to stew the fish, but should they bet all night tonight?How else would you prepare dinner?

"Everyone, please." Boss Wang turned around and pointed to the bungalow as a gesture to invite in. Before I entered, I smelled a smell of smoke, and my bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

I thought the game would be over soon, but judging by the current situation, I guess it's not enough...

There is only a small bungalow in front of me, and the surrounding area is not too big. The edges of the bungalow are all close to the water. It seems that the reservoir will flood here.

Entering the square, I saw a mess of fishing nets. There was a bed and a simple table in the room. Someone brought a green cloth to spread it on. Everyone present looked anxious, as if they were afraid that they would lose money if they were too late.

I looked at the seven or eight people here, and none of them seemed to be good people. They were all wandering guys, and more than half of them were young people. No matter how I looked at them, they didn't look like they were here to gamble, but they looked like thugs.

There was a young man with a bag on his back, which looked similar to a loan shark in a casino. I thought to myself, can there be a loan shark in this kind of mess?

I walked around pretending to be okay, and wanted to have a look at the surrounding environment first, so as to be mentally prepared, but the island in the middle of the lake was too small, and there was nothing but a small bungalow.

Behind the bungalow was a pile of messy fishing nets and cages. It seemed that the bungalow should be prepared for fish farmers. There was a bed inside just now, and the bed exuded a strange smell.

It's unbelievable to be able to set up a gambling game in such a place. I feel that it's not just for safety, maybe there are other things in it.

What I'm most worried about is that Brother Bin and the others have fallen into a trap. In this way, I can't even say that I am his cousin, otherwise I will definitely be implicated, and now I have to row a boat if I want to leave.

There are still a few small boats here, but the oars are kept in the bungalow, so you can't run by paddling with your hands, right?

"What are you looking for?" The voice behind suddenly made me tremble, and when I looked back, it was Boss Wang just now, and I immediately took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Boss Wang smokes." I politely helped to catch the fire. Although I don't know if it will work or not, it is obvious that he is the one who has the final say here.

"Is this your first time here, boy? How about my reservoir?" Boss Wang looked at me with a smile, with shrewdness in his small eyes, and he looked like a smiling tiger.

"The environment here is really nice, don't you raise a lot of fish?" I pretended to be relaxed and asked, thinking that it would be nice to have someone to take care of when something really happened.

"It is true that there are a lot of fish raised, but they are all meat-eating black fish. People feed the fish when they go into the water! A few days ago, a few ignorant guys came to steal the fish, and they never came up again." The meaningful look made my heart tremble.

I can hear the threat in his words, but he has no reason to scare me, a young boy, not to mention it's my first time here, can the real organizer push the gamblers out of the door?

Looking at it now, there is only one possibility. He is giving me eye drops. As for what is in the water, no one can tell. It is impossible to guarantee that there will not be the black fish he mentioned.

Now I feel that this small reservoir is like a terrible hell, 200 meters away from the outside world, trapping people here and unable to get out.

Now that the mobile phone has been taken away, even if you want to make a call, there is no chance. Looking at the gradually darkening sky, I feel inexplicable panic in my heart. At night, it is dark around the reservoir. Who will notice this place?

"But don't worry, as long as you are careful not to get too close to the water's edge, there will be no problems in general, but it's hard to say if you fall."

"Oh, I see." I immediately took two steps back, because I was too close just now.

I have no way to escape now. Although I came here with Brother Bin and his group, I have to find a way to protect myself. Age is my biggest advantage.

I think if these veterans really want to be black and white, then maybe they will be lenient with me, maybe because of my young age...

But even I can't believe this idea, it doesn't make sense... If they do something, there will be no reason to leave them alive. Even if they tie people up and throw them in the reservoir to feed the fish, it can save some feed money. At this moment, I am really scared.

"It's dark and cool outside, don't forget to tell your friends that it's dangerous to be near the water in the dark."

Boss Wang walked away smoking a cigarette. I understood that he wanted me to help spread the word, warning others to stay away from the water, and indirectly warning us not to be distracted.

I wanted to call my second uncle for help, but I didn't have a mobile phone. I regretted that I didn't call my second uncle decisively. This trouble is beyond my ability to solve.

Now on this island in the middle of the lake surrounded by water, it is impossible to leave here other than hoping that Brother Bin and his gang will lose all their money.

Hearing the sound of splashing on the shore, my heart was very desolate, and I looked back to see Su Yurong standing by the water in a daze, he seemed to be thinking about something.

I leaned over and said in a low voice, "Today may be dangerous. This game is wrong, and the people here are wrong."

"It can be seen that these people are all in the same group." He nodded to show that he knew, maybe he also found something wrong when he came to this place.

According to common sense, there should be many people participating in the game, and they are all gamblers who don't know each other well.

But just now these people seemed to belong to the same group, they were about the same age and dressed, could the gangsters with tattoos of dragons and tigers get together by such a coincidence?You can tell they belong to the same group just by the brands they smoke.

Only familiar people will loose their cigarettes every time they smoke. They talk about Nanjing for a while, and Hongtashan for a while. Such small details show that they are a group, and I think it is completely over.

The poker game hasn't started yet, but I don't have any hope. The only way I want to leave now is to lose all my money with Brother Bin and his group...
