my old life

Chapter 265 Isolated Despair

As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. It is estimated that the people on this island are seeking money.

As long as you can win all of Brother Bin and others, there is definitely no reason to keep them. If Brother Bin wins money and wants to leave, it may not be that simple. Don't you have to be honest in other people's territory?

Now even a dragon has to coil up, and a tiger has to lie down!I lit a cigarette and thought quietly, let alone let me watch the game today, in fact, it doesn't make any sense at all.

Even if I see someone cheating, so what?Even if you lend me ten guts, I dare not catch...

"Cousin, come in quickly and get ready for dinner." Brother Bin stood at the door of the bungalow and waved to me, and his cousin made my scalp numb.

I pretended to be nonchalant and walked over, thinking that these people must not treat me and Su Yurong as his cousins!

There was a big black pot on the table, in which was the black fish stewed just now, it smelled delicious, so the little skinny man brought me a bowl.

The white fish seems to have no appetite at all. I usually don’t eat fish very much, and now I don’t even have the desire to eat. I took two bites and secretly poured it into the reservoir.

It was Su Yurong who ate slowly. I don't know how he was able to eat the stewed fish in white water, but I have a lot of confidence in my heart with him, at least I won't feel lonely.

Half an hour later, the cauldron was brought out, and a fish was eaten by a group of people. It was completely dark, and I knew the game was about to start.

There are a group of people around a card table, but there are only a few who really gamble. Brother Bin has a little skinny guy on his side, and the other two people look like big brothers, and they don't match up with the old ones at all. .

No cheater would show tattoos, let alone a cheater who would wear gold chains and rings, and strings of Buddhist beads on his wrists. No matter how you look at it, it is not a normal dress.

On the contrary, Brother Bin seems to be easy to get along with, and they all seem to be decent people, but if they come to gamble with these local ruffians, can they have any hope of winning?
"Cousin, come here and learn a little bit. I asked you to come today to learn how to work!" Brother Bin turned to me and said something, and I lit a cigarette and walked over.

"Study hard, Brother Bin is known as the mahjong self-playing king!" The little thin man said something quite proudly, and I nodded casually to show that I knew.

Now my mind is so messed up that I don't even think about what to do in the game. What I think about now is how to get out of the game, not who wins the game. I won't catch it no matter whether there is a thousand on the other side, only a fool will Catch people in this kind of place.

Maybe someone threw it into the reservoir and fed the fish, not to mention catching scammers here, I don't even dare to breathe, even if I watch someone cheating in front of me, who would dare to say no?
Watching the four of them play mahjong, I didn't have the slightest interest to watch it. It was obvious that they were all in a group of two.

On the contrary, there are so many people watching the fun, I have seen this kind of breakup in my hometown before, there are more people watching the fun than gambling, except for those who smoke cigarettes, those who win errand money, and those who win money don’t mind others smoking him Cigarettes, but those who lose money are different...

Some of them would secretly help in tricking and cheating, too many people would not notice anything, even if they changed cards under the table, who would know?

There is a place where it is easy to cheat in mahjong tiles, that is, it will not be easy to be discovered after someone changes the tiles, because the mahjong tiles have a large number of tiles, and it is difficult to find out after the tiles are replaced, unless it is the kind of out-of-the-box cards.

Watching them playing mahjong, I couldn't help dozing off. I didn't know much about mahjong, so I simply turned around and walked out of the bungalow to go outside to have a wind. The smell of fish in the room was really unbearable.

When the cool night wind blows, the whole person is refreshed a lot. He takes out a cigarette and lights it, his mouth is full of bitter taste.

The sky was completely dark, and the lights were on in the room, but the light was not penetrated, because the windows were covered with pure black curtains, it is estimated that this place is a den, and there must be different groups of people coming to play.

Now I know why they choose to start gambling at night. The entire reservoir is completely dark, only a few square meters of duty room on the dam of the reservoir is illuminated, and any car approaching here will be found.

There is no light at all around the pitch-black reservoir. Even if someone comes by boat, they have to use a flashlight. There are fishing nets around it, and it is impossible to get in without a flashlight.

But it's such a place where the birds don't shit, why are people like Brother Bin willing to come?They don't look like idiots either, there's no reason why they can't sense the danger here...

Wait, I suddenly thought of a possibility, Brother Bin and the little skinny guys are definitely not here for the first time!

It can be seen from their conversation with Boss Wang when they came here. Could it be that they were hooked by others when they won money and left?Or in the past, they gave money here and left, and after being found out, they got it back to prepare for revenge?
No matter what the situation is, they will not end well, and it is impossible for Brother Bin and the others to lose money. If they lose money, will they come again?
"What's the matter? Did you find something wrong?" Su Yurong patted my shoulder and sat together at the door of the bungalow.

I sighed and said what was in my heart, and I had to look at the situation inside the bungalow from time to time, for fear of being overheard.

"Now these people will definitely have to play all night after eating and drinking, and they probably won't be able to leave before dawn." I sighed, my stomach still rumbling.

I really can’t eat the fish soup just now. I seldom eat fish, let alone stewed fish like this. I didn’t eat two bites and now I’m hungry. This is really tragic.

"Relax a little, stick to it since you're here, and find a way to leave when you get confused in the middle of the night." Su Yurong whispered in my ear, and I immediately regained my energy.

"Oh? Is there any way you can leave?" I lowered my voice and asked excitedly. Could it be that he is going to row away secretly?

He suddenly gave me a silent gesture, stood up, stretched as if nothing had happened, turned around and walked back to the bungalow, he stood behind Brother Bin, he looked like a spectator.

I just saw Boss Wang who appeared at some time, standing quietly behind me, and I took two puffs of cigarettes pretending to be calm.

"Why don't you go in and play? What are you thinking about sitting here alone? Do you miss your wife?" Boss Wang teased me, and I immediately shook my head.

"I don't know how to gamble. I just came out to get some fresh air after eating. The environment is really nice." I stated my position quietly, and I couldn't be regarded as someone who came to gamble.

"Oh? Don't know how to gamble? Then you came to watch the game?" Boss Wang asked immediately, and he really fell for it.

"Ah? What is watching the game? I just came out to relax and play." I pretended to be stupid and said, there is no shame in being an idiot now, but it would be a shame if I was caught and thrown into the reservoir.

"I said, you don't look like your age, are you twenty?"

"Nope."

After speaking, Boss Wang took a good look at me. My age is real and there is no disguise. Most people would not think that I am watching the game when they see me like this.

"No, you can learn it. It's good to learn and live. Have you heard that one minute in a casino can save ten years of work?" Boss Wang teased meaningfully, turned and entered the bungalow.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was really dangerous just now, I don't know if it will be useful, but I have to draw a clear line with Brother Bin and the others.

The wind at night is already chilly, with a moist smell, and the lights of cars passing by on the nearby mountain can be seen from a distance, so small and weak, I feel like I am isolated in the depths of the mountain.

I don't know where this is, and I don't know how far it is from Shencheng. I can see the lights of the village from a distance, but they can't bring any warmth. If something happens, I probably run there and no one will help.

It used to be like this in my hometown. People in the village are very united, no matter whether they are doing good or bad things, and when something goes wrong, they are still facing their own people.

The cold evening wind blows my whole body chilly, and I have no energy at all. I think I may have used my brain too much, and my brain has not stopped since I came here.

Slightly squinting my eyes to take a break, at this moment someone called me into the room, I turned my head and saw that it was Boss Wang, with an order-like expression in his eyes, I quickly stood up.

"Hurry up and get in the house!"

It was only then that I noticed a few boats coming up on the water. It was so dark that I didn't have a flashlight but I could see people. I immediately became nervous!
