In about half an hour, the three people arrived at the main entrance of Xianzhong. Gao Zijian asked Shi Bing, "Bingzi, do you know which door the billiard room in Hammer is?"
Shi Bing thought for a while and said, "I guess it should be at the back door. I don't know the details. I just heard from Er Mao yesterday. Let's look for it slowly. Since we are all here, there is no rush."
In fact, Shi Bing didn't know either. They had only heard about many things. There were several gates in Xianzhong, so it seemed that they could only search slowly.
A few people came to the back door first. Not to mention, as Shi Bing said, there is a billiards room near the back door of Xianzhong, called "Kuaishou Billiard Hall".
Gao Zi pointed at the billiard room and said, "Bingzi, do you think it could be this place?"
Shi Bing took a look and said, "It should be right. This is the only one near the back door. There is no other place. Let's go in first and take a look. They are all here anyway. We are not looking for it."
Gao Zijian was right. He nodded and said, "Well, that's all we can do. Let's go in."
A few of them walked into the billiards hall. This billiards hall is not big, it should be said that it is very small, because it is a large boxcar, not a retail store. In the late 1990s, the boxcars were not completely abolished, and there were many
Restaurants and entertainment venues are also large boxcars. To put it bluntly, they are small brick houses built by individuals.
There are only four billiard tables in total. There is a small cashier at the entrance. It can't be considered a cashier specifically. It's just a table and a stool. It's as shabby as it gets.
The decoration is also very average. It can even be said that there is no decoration. There is not even a floor. The ground is full of potholes and the walls are almost peeled off. At a glance, you can tell that it is not a high-end place. It is just an environment like this.
The billiards hall is where poor students come to have fun, and working class people don’t like to come here to play. The environment is really terrible. (Z: It means very bad in Northeastern dialect) Since it was after nine o’clock in the morning,
There are very few people playing billiards. In one case, two boys and girls who skipped classes were playing there. They looked like they were lovers. They were wearing school uniforms and you could tell they were students at a glance.
In the innermost position, there are four or five people sitting around a round table playing poker. Although it is autumn, the room is very hot because there is a stove burning next to it. The kind where you can fill it with coal yourself.
It is often called a chimney, so the temperature in the room is very high.
These people are basically shirtless, and those who are not shirtless simply wear a hurdle vest. Two of them have tattoos on their bodies, and some of them have scars.
Gao Zijian knew at a glance that he was on the right track. This billiards room was definitely run by a hammer. Just by looking at the postures of these people, he could tell a little bit about their skills.
He nodded to Shi Bing, and the three of them walked inside. When they walked to the side, Dajun tugged on Gao Zijian's clothes, trying to get him to speak.
Because Da Jun is a clumsy person and sometimes stutters when speaking, he is not suitable for talking to outsiders.
Gao Zijian stepped forward and asked softly, "Sorry to excuse you, we would like to ask if Brother Hammer is here." As soon as he finished speaking, several people playing cards stopped.
One of them, a man with a crew cut, sly eyebrows and a wolf head tattooed on his chest, looked them up and down, put down the cigarette in his hand and said, "Do you have anything to do with him?"
Gao Zijian looked at the person asking this question as if he was Hammer. He didn't know why, but he felt like him.
Gao Zijian said calmly, "That's right, we are looking for Brother Hammer because we want to trouble him about something small."
The crew-cut man took a puff of cigarette and said, "I'm just saying, what's the matter?"
Sure enough, Gao Zijian guessed it right. This man looked very treacherous at first glance. He was definitely not a loyal person, and he had mixed feelings of loyalty and unloyalty.
The first impression he gave Gao Zijian was that one was vulgar and the other cunning. At first glance, he didn't seem to be a loyal person. This person's appearance determined many things.
Hammer's appearance is such that no one can think positively about it. Maybe he is overly concerned, but he just feels very uncomfortable.
Gao Zijian looked at Shi Bing and Da Jun again, and they both nodded.
He looked at the people next to the hammer again, and it was obvious that it was a bit inconvenient to speak.
After seeing what he was thinking, Hammer smiled and said, "Haha, it's okay. These are all my friends. If you need anything, just tell me."
Gao Zijian briefly explained the dispute between them and Lu Hai, and of course also mentioned the benefit fee of 1,000 yuan for him. This is the key. How can we do things without money? He finally said, "Brother Hammer, we just want to
Please come forward and make peace with us. It's not a big deal at first, it's just a misunderstanding. Let's just make it a trivial matter."
Hammer glanced at him and said, "Lu Hai, I know this guy. He's just a kid. There's no problem. Well... have you brought any money?"
Dajun was about to answer when Gao Zijian picked him up. He knew that Dajun wanted to give him money, but he was worried that if they gave him the money, what would happen if the hammer didn't work out? Didn't he just cheat them, so he gave
Money must be settled in the end. When going to a restaurant, you have to eat first and pay later. Gao Zijian is quite safe in handling things.
Gao Zijian said, "Brother Shuizi, we were in a hurry to go out when we came, so we forgot to take the money. But the money is ready for you. It depends on when you talk to Lu Hai, Brother Shuizi."
"
What he said was very smooth and his meaning was very clear. If you help us handle the matter, we will naturally give you money.
Hearing what Gao Zijian said, Hammer smiled. He threw away the cigarette in his hand and said, "Well, I'll take you to Lu Hai this afternoon. Do you think it's okay? When the matter is resolved, you can give me the money again.
It’s alright.”
Gao Zijian nodded hurriedly and said, "That must be no problem. We really forgot to bring it, otherwise I would give it to you."
Hammer waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's settled then. You guys will wait for my call this afternoon."
Gao Zijian left his paging number, and several people came out of the billiard hall.
After walking out of the billiards hall, Da Jun laughed and said, "Haha, the matter is finally resolved now. You guys should feel free to go back to school."
Shi Bing also said, "Well, I hope everything goes well. It will be resolved soon and we can go back to school early, so we won't have to worry about this trivial matter all day long."
But Gao Zijian still felt uneasy. The hammer agreed too quickly. He didn't even ask their names or which school he was from. Could there be fraud in this?
On the way back, he was thinking about this matter, but in the end there was no result. He thought, 'Forget it, I'll see when the time comes, maybe I'm too preoccupied.' Gao Zijian's sixth sense is sometimes quite accurate.
Yes, things definitely did not go as smoothly as they thought. Instead, it pushed them to a more dangerous level...
