Luoyang City is located in central China, where summers are hot and rain is concentrated. Dog days are humid and muggy, with the highest temperature reaching 40 degrees Celsius.

It was September, the sun was scorching, and even the students' favorite physical education class, there were few people on the playground. The students either sat under the cool trees to enjoy the shade, or found excuses to go to the toilet and secretly play with their mobile phones.

Zhao Xiaosong was sitting on the hot audience stairs, his eyes dull, his expression lonely, sweat dripping down his face, still motionless.

"If it weren't for your eyes still open, I would have called 120." Su Yu came over, handed Zhao Xiaosong a bottle of iced Pulse, and sat down: "It's not afraid to sit under the sun and think about life on such a hot day.

Heatstroke?"

Zhao Xiaosong hurriedly took the drink, shook his head and said: "I have been exposed to the sun for two years, and I have long been used to it."

Su Yu took a sip of Pulse, lit a cigarette, and sighed: "Are you used to being beaten? You don't even resist."

Zhao Xiaosong's expression froze:

"Instructor Su, do you know everything?"

Su Yu sneered and said, "If I had found out later, you would have been admitted to the hospital. Those little bastards are quite capable of beating one of their own. How about that? Are your shoulders okay?"

"It's okay." Zhao Xiaosong shook his head gently and stretched out his hands: "I can't control my hands. Sometimes, I really want to chop them off."

Su Yu pressed down Zhao Xiaosong's hands: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhao Xiaosong pursed his lips and said, "I don't know what to say."

"You can say whatever you want. The more detailed you are, the better." Su Yu suddenly sat up and patted the dust on his butt and said, "But we can't say it here. Let's talk slowly in another place and sit under the sun.

, like an idiot."

Sitting in a private room for four people at an entertainment hall called Bandian Leisure outside Luoyang Theological College, Su Yu ordered a few bottles of ice tea and quietly waited for Zhao Xiaosong to speak.

"Is there any cigarette? Brother Yu." Zhao Xiaosong said suddenly.

Su Yu thought for a moment and threw the Xiaosu in his pocket to Zhao Xiaosong.

Zhao Xiaosong lit a cigarette, took two strong puffs, and said softly: "I remember it was a month ago. In the morning, Ah Hao and the others suddenly moved a square table to the dormitory. I asked them what they were doing, and they whispered to me.

It was a bit exciting. When I returned to the dormitory after class in the afternoon, they got a mahjong set from nowhere. Several of them didn't eat, and they played until nine o'clock in the evening. They didn't put it away until the dormitory supervisor checked the dormitory."

"At that time they were playing two

Ah Hao won more than 100 yuan in just a few hours. They played mahjong every day. I remember one time when they were playing mahjong and they made a noise to Xiaomaodan. Xiaomaodan reported them. After the dormitory came, he took them

The mahjong was confiscated, but within two days, they took another set. This time it was strange, the dormitory manager didn’t take care of it anymore. I heard that they took away two pieces of Chinese from Ah Hao, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Su Yu suddenly remembered that two days ago, the dormitory manager Lao Qian saw him and handed him a softball. At that time, he asked Lao Qian what kind of windfall he had made, and Lao Qian said that it was his nephew who asked him for help and was filial to him.

"Wait for a while." Thinking of this, Su Yu temporarily interrupted Zhao Xiaosong, picked up his cell phone and called: "Let me pack my things and get out!"

"If there is any old money man left, immediately! Immediately! Let him pack up and get out!"

Zhao Xiaosong shrank his neck and looked at Su Yu with a little fear. Su Yu smiled harmlessly and said, "It's okay. You can continue talking. Please give more details like this."

Zhao Xiaosong nodded and continued: "Once, Qiao Fei took two days off, and they were short of three, so they took me. I said I didn't know how to play, but they said it didn't matter and taught me how to play. I said I didn't

When it comes to gambling, they also said that I only need to accompany them and don’t need to take any money. So I agreed.”

"In those two days, I kept winning, and occasionally lost twice, but I didn't pay any money. Ah Hao and the others often said that I was lucky as a newbie and could win everything. Later, they encouraged me to play with money, but I still didn't agree. Later.

One day, my girlfriend..."

Having said this, Zhao Xiaosong suddenly paused and glanced at Su Yu as if he had said something wrong.

"That's your business, go on." Su Yu said calmly.

Zhao Xiaosong nodded and continued: "My girlfriend and I went shopping, and she took a fancy to a skirt. She knew that we were both students and our families were not rich, so she didn't bother asking me for it, but I knew that,

She loved it."

"On Monday night, Qiao Fei went out to surf the Internet. Ah Hao and the others were short of people and asked me to play again. This time I offered to play for money. They were surprised. I didn't explain, so we started playing. At first, we played for two yuan.

They thought the gambling amount was too small and boring, so they said they should play bigger and play for five yuan. I won more than I lost at that time, so I agreed. That week, I won more than five hundred yuan, and I went out to give it to my girlfriend on weekend afternoons.

I bought the skirt and she was very happy. She asked me where I got the money, and I lied to her and said I earned it part-time on the Internet."

Before he knew it, he had finished smoking one cigarette. Zhao Xiaosong continued to smoke another cigarette without stopping. Su Yu saw that his hand was trembling slightly. Su Yu knew that a turning point was coming.

Sure enough, Zhao Xiaosong's expression suddenly became painful, and he burst into tears unconsciously.

The flow came out, he gritted his teeth and continued: "Later, they felt that five yuan was too little, and started to offer ten yuan. I tasted the sweetness and had no objection. Within two days, they said they wanted to play in Sichuan

Let’s try Mahjong. At that time, I often played Sichuan Mahjong on my mobile phone. I knew that Sichuan Mahjong was very powerful in doubling, so I felt that it was a bit too much to play, but after some hesitation, I agreed.”

"I remember that day very clearly. I lost 370 yuan. Then, like a gambler who was red-eyed after losing, I really wanted to win it back. I fought to the end and won back 340 yuan. Although I lost,

It’s thirty yuan, but I don’t think it’s anything. If the dormitory hadn’t come to check my bed, I could have earned more.”

"After that, I played with them every day, losing and winning. Then one time, I lost more than 1,600 and lost all my money. I started to borrow money. I asked Ahao to borrow 2,000 and lost again.

It’s over. Then…”

Zhao Xiaosong paused, then suddenly covered his face and cried bitterly. He tried his best to suppress the tears and prevent his grievances from showing, but the pain was unbearable for him.

Tears kept flowing out. Zhao Xiaosong squeezed his face hard to wipe away the tears. He put his hands on his thighs and pinched the flesh of his thighs calmly, intending to suppress the pain from the outside world.

Inner sadness.

"Then, they started beating me and kicking me! I begged for mercy and resisted, but it was all in vain. That night, my whole body hurt and I couldn't sleep all night, but I don't have a long memory. The next day, I lied to my family and called them friends.

During birthdays and parties, I asked them for another two thousand yuan. I went to bet with them again and lost everything again."

"I started asking my girlfriend to borrow money, and she saved money. She saved all the pocket money her parents gave her every week. She saved more than a thousand and gave it all to me. I continued to gamble, but the result was the same.

,Although I win and lose, I am always the one who loses the most in the end.”

"Ah Hao and the others laughed at me and said that I ran out of luck. I didn't believe it. I asked my friends to borrow money, and I borrowed a lot. Ten thousand or twenty thousand. I can't remember. There were so many people, so many times. I don't remember how much I borrowed at all.

, I was like a madman during that time. Later, Ahao introduced me to a person named Lao Zhou, saying that he could help me. Lao Zhou lent me 50,000 yuan, which not only met the emergency, but also left a lot.

I used the remaining money to gamble again. A good friend of mine found out about it and advised me to stop, but I didn’t listen. He went to tell my girlfriend. I remember it very clearly. It was after the second period of class last Wednesday afternoon. She

He rushed to my class, slapped me hard twice, and told me to break up..."

"Instructor, do you know?" Zhao Xiaosong turned to look at Su Yu. His delicate eyes were already bloodshot, like the dying struggle of a dying person. His pupils were filled with despair: "At that moment, I collapsed.
