my old life

Chapter 37 The Gambler's Demon

The mahjong parlor at night is very lively. I came to the mahjong parlor a few days ago, and I would go back before ten o’clock. I have never stayed so late. Anyway, I have nowhere to go now. The army caught.

At this moment, I really want to go to the Internet cafe and blow on the air conditioner L, but it’s not bad now, seeing the beautiful Feifei sister, it can be regarded as self-consolation and compensation...

Sister Feifei counted the collected money, left some change, put all the money in the drawer and locked it, and said to me with a smile: "Sanming, come and sit down for a rest. Find someone to help, are you interested?"

I quickly shook my head to express my lack of interest. I had no choice but to come here tonight. I was afraid of being caught by that ugly guy in the army.

"Don't worry, if you come to help with things, Brother Long will never treat you badly." Sister Feifei smiled happily, and I don't know what she was laughing at. Find someone with a higher salary and earn more money!"

"Hey, I don't see that people are not very ambitious. Do you want to save more money to marry a wife?" Sister Feifei teased, and I am not embarrassed, this must be necessary!

In this year, I have to earn money, otherwise, not to mention marrying a daughter-in-law, I will not even be able to pass the test of the future mother-in-law. For some reason, I suddenly thought of Sixteenth Sister. I am afraid that I will never hope to be with her in my life. Marrying a wife is very important The family is right, but I can't even reach the steps of her house...

Suddenly someone patted me, and Brother Long appeared shirtless, smiling at me and said, "You want to make a lot of money before you grow all your hair? Haven't you heard the old saying that one minute in a casino saves ten years of work?" ?Ha ha!"

I'm a little speechless, what are you talking about, Brother Long, this is a bragging bragging of Wangpo!He runs a mahjong parlor. He definitely hopes that as many people as possible will come to play. Even if I come to work during the holidays, I can only get a salary. It is difficult to survive...

But I never thought of making money from gambling, because I know it is unrealistic. I have never heard that gambling can win. It is the so-called ten gambling and nine frauds. Ever since I saw the scam of the big fat guys, I understand them How do partners cheat people to make money, but I don't want to cheat...

Brother Long strolls around the mahjong parlor shirtless, and everyone greets him when they meet. The red dragon tattoo on his body is particularly domineering, and he looks so handsome!
But I don't dare to get a tattoo. If my parents find out, my legs will definitely be broken, and even my incomprehensible second uncle will not agree.

Don't look at my second uncle who has been outside for so many years, but he has never seen a tattoo on his body. Although he is joking and playing hooligans all day long, he has very high requirements on clothing. He is covered with famous brand Armani all over his body. Shirts and trousers are worn all year round, and leather shoes are always polished and shiny.

As the saying goes, poor Nike, rich Adi, ruffian Armani!

It was late, and I was already a little sleepy, but I didn't dare to go anywhere except the mahjong parlor, because the army was looking for me outside, and no matter what, I couldn't fall into his hands, otherwise my life would be in danger...

Just when I was drowsy and unable to wake up, the appearance of a person immediately woke me up!What I didn't expect was that the middle-aged man came back at nearly twelve o'clock, panting and anxious when he entered the door, but he didn't find an empty seat.

To be honest, I was surprised. Not long ago, Sister Feifei scolded him in front of so many people, making him so embarrassing, but he still has the face to come back. His appearance once again changed my understanding of gamblers!
He glanced at me and didn't speak, as if he didn't see it, he kept wandering around in the mahjong parlor, looking here and there, and kept rubbing his hands as if he couldn't wait. This scene really surprised me , I didn't expect Miss Feifei to really hit the nail on the head!
It's hard for me to imagine what made him come back with face, and it's like nothing happened, and I can't wait to join it... All this makes me more afraid of gambling, and I feel like gambling people are crazy Scary as a demon!
In the past, I only heard people say that gambling is harmful to people. It is said that once people get into gambling, it is like getting into drugs.

"L ah L monkeys are true or false, L ah L parachuted into Sparta, L ah L blind monk caught blind, weapon master picks two..." The whole mahjong parlor was instantly silent when the phone rang, and everyone looked at me in surprise .

I scratched my head in embarrassment. The ringtone of the mobile phone was so magical that I couldn’t help it. When I answered the phone, it was Sister Seventeen who called. I knew it must be Wang Gang’s phone number. I still remember that Sister Sixteen went to the Little Park Hotel in the afternoon. , it must be that bastard who revealed the news!
"Where are you now? Why are people looking for you everywhere?"

When I heard this, my heart turned cold, and I said to myself that it was fortunate that the sixteenth sister gave me the news in advance, otherwise I would definitely be caught by the army now.

"I'm at Feilong Mahjong Hall, Brother Long's place, don't worry, I'm safe." I purposely spoke louder so that Sister Feifei next to me could hear me, but she immediately gave me a vigilant look.

"Oh, then be careful, um... Tomorrow is my birthday, tomorrow afternoon at Juyuan Hotel, can you come?"

When I heard this, I was a little hesitant. To be honest, I was very afraid to leave the mahjong parlor, but tomorrow is the birthday of Seventeenth Sister, so she must have called me to come over. What should I do?
There was a moment of silence, and just to be on the safe side, I asked cautiously: "I don't know if Miss Sixteen will go with me tomorrow. If I'm caught, she can help..."

"Hmph, do you like to come or not!"

Before I could say anything, the phone hung up. I couldn't figure it out for a moment. I just asked, why did she lose her temper?Is it because I didn't agree with what I promised?

But looking back, when Seventeenth Sister celebrates her birthday, the other girls will definitely be there. Their relationship is so good, and Sixteenth Sister is even more so. I blame me for talking too much, hey...

I wanted to call back and explain to Seventeenth Sister, and told her that I didn't mean it that way. Before I called, Sister Feifei pulled me aside and asked with a serious face: "What happened just now? Why are you hiding here? ? No wonder you have been staying here tonight, what's going on?"

I thought about it but didn't think of a suitable reason. After all, it can't be said that the army is looking for me outside, which will expose the second uncle's gambling, but I don't have a suitable reason to stay here. What should I do?
At this moment, Brother Long came over, leaning on the bar with a cigarette in his mouth, and asked me jokingly: "What's the matter, boy, are you causing trouble again? You came here to avoid trouble?"

I nodded immediately, as long as Brother Long doesn't chase me away, then I can stay in the mahjong parlor and deal with it casually at night when I sleep.

And I think there is second uncle's face there, Brother Long probably won't drive me away, even if I am here to serve tea and water to help, there is no other choice, even tomorrow Sister Seventeen's birthday is always a worrying event...

"Brother Long, don't worry, I will never bring trouble here..." I put on a look of embarrassment on purpose, and couldn't help admiring my wit in my heart!

Sister Feifei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly: "The boy now is really confusing. No wonder he looks abnormal tonight. He has been here all this time. I thought this kid was resting."

"It's okay, find a vacant room on the second floor and let him sleep for one night. After all, he is Dongzi's nephew, and he is one of his own." Brother Long boldly asked me to stay, and even arranged a place for me to stay, saying no in his heart Excited!
But thanks to the second uncle's face, I have to look at the Buddha's face even if I don't look at the monk's face. Gotta cheer up.

Going over to see a few people grabbing the middle-aged man, cursing and saying that someone cheated, Brother Long strode forward to part the crowd and shouted: "Who the hell dares to cheat the old man in my mahjong parlor?" thousand!"

The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and I leaned over to the side and stared wide-eyed. The middle-aged man who was caught was terrified, stuttering and unable to speak, not knowing what was tightly clutched in his hand.

"Brother Long, he pushed the Pai Gow out of tricks! There are cards hidden on his body! The exact same cards!" As they spoke, several people pushed the middle-aged man's hand away, holding a Pai Gow in his hand, but the pile of cards on the table But there are quite a few neatly stacked ones.

"I, I don't, I'm useless for this, it's really useless!" The middle-aged man argued weakly, and I knew at a glance that he must have found an identical Pai Gow and hid it in his hand. A large number of points can be exchanged for a card, but he is really too bold, blatantly daring to cheat!

Brother Long took a closer look at this card, and then at the cards on the table. In fact, all Pai Gows are engraved with points in black. On the surface, there seems to be no difference at all. The problem is that the middle-aged man has one more card in his hand. It must have been prepared in advance and intended to be used to cheat.

Brother Long's complexion became very bad, and he asked him ferociously: "Where did this card come from? Don't tell me it was picked from the ground!"

The middle-aged man hesitated and couldn’t tell. In fact, a discerning person can tell at a glance that he must have prepared to hide it on his body in advance. My heart became tense. I only heard that it would be very miserable to be caught cheating. , but I have never seen it with my own eyes!

Brother Long slapped him twice, five finger prints instantly appeared on his fair face, Brother Long waved his hand, and several people grabbed the middle-aged man and walked towards the back door. I was so excited that I followed immediately without thinking much ...
