During those days we were hiding in the air-raid shelter. The cave we lived in was right next to Brother Zhiyuan's. We slept on electric mattresses on the floor. When I had nothing to do, I went over to visit. The electricity we used was directly connected to the generator.
In order to relieve our boredom, Lao Wen bought a 12-inch small satellite color TV from the second-hand market. The telescopic antenna of the small TV can be raised to more than one meter.
Watching TV under the air-raid shelter to find a signal, Dou Sprout ran out every day with the TV in his arms. He spent most of the time sitting outside the cave watching Journey to the West and Jigong, and would come back with the small TV when it was time for dinner.
During this period, I went out secretly once. I was afraid that someone would catch me and I disguised myself. I changed my mobile phone and registered for my original mobile phone number.
Because the mobile phone was confiscated by Jin Fenghuang, I had to get the original mobile phone number. I have been waiting for Uncle Liao's call and the first news.
Douyazai watched TV to pass the time, Xiaoxuan developed a hobby of picking up shoe inserts, and as for me, I studied and read a few books, including Burial Scripture and Feng Shui of the Underworld.
My education level is not high, but I don’t know if I am gifted or not. I can understand the tomb shapes, Feng Shui descriptions, misfortunes and good fortunes mentioned in the book almost twice after reading them...
My junior high school Chinese teacher is called Li Wenxiang. He would be furious if he knew this.
I stayed there for more than ten days in a row. That night I was eating melon seeds and studying the influence of the feng shui of ancient ghost houses on living people. The book said that the area around the tomb was called the Killing Master's Ground. When opening the coffin and moving the tomb, you cannot see the month of June.
, people born in September, otherwise the grave mover will die suddenly within a year. I was fascinated by this, and was studying the specific explanations, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
I looked up and saw that the person coming was Lao Ge.
"Little brother, come here," Lao Ge waved and called me out mysteriously.
I put down the book and followed Lao Ge to a corner of the underground air raid shelter.
"What's wrong?" I didn't know why Lao Ge suddenly called me out.
"Brothers, what do I, Lao Ge, do to you?"
"Why do you say that all of a sudden?" I said of course there was no need to say anything, they would take us in and provide us with food and shelter.
Lao Ge chuckled. He was still wearing the starched blue down jacket from half a month ago.
Lao Ge took out the crumpled cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette and handed it to me, saying, "Brother, have one?"
I looked at the crumpled cigarette in his hand, shook my head and said, "I won't smoke anymore. My throat has been uncomfortable these past two days. Lao Ge, you asked me to come out because I was smoking, right? Tell me, what's the matter?"
Lao Ge turned to look around and whispered: "Brother, you have been here for more than half a month. Aren't you bored? There is an event tonight. I'll ask you to come and play together."
I saw it was almost ten o'clock and asked Lao Ge what he was doing. I was hiding from my enemies and couldn't show my face on the street.
"Hey, I know that, and I won't let you show your face on the street."
"Just outside, in this Spider Alley, there are four events a month, don't regret it!"
Before I could ask more questions, I was pulled away by Lao Ge.
Yinchuan Old Town, Spider Alley is dark at night.
There were broken houses and broken bricks everywhere, and it was impossible to walk without a flashlight. Lao Ge forcefully pushed me to a secret location.
It was a large tent made of red and white raincloth. It was very big. From the outside, it was brightly lit and had light bulbs on. It was very noisy. There were probably a lot of people there.
There was a doorman at the door who knew Lao Ge and directly lifted the curtain to let us in. I became curious. I had lived in Spider Alley for more than ten days and I didn't know there was such a place at night.
As soon as I entered, the air inside was filled with smoke, which made me cough twice.
"Follow or not!"
"Hurry up! The three families are not opening cards! Follow or not!"
"What the hell!"
"Follow!"
"Open! Open! Look at the trump card!"
A large group of people were smoking cigarettes and shouting and drinking loudly, and this was just one of the tables.
I stared blankly at the dozens of tables inside, with a strange expression on my face.
Damn it!
It’s actually a casino!
And it’s a black casino hidden in Spider Alley!
These people mainly play Pai Gow. There are no girls. They are all old men. There are a few two or three tables playing Pai Gow. A rough head count shows that in such a big place, there are at least forty or fifty people!
My expression changed, and I immediately turned around and wanted to leave.
"Oh, brother!" Lao Ge grabbed me.
Lao Ge smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, brother, most of the people here are outsiders and don't know your enemy at all. Don't worry, you are here. Why don't you play with me? I feel like I am here.
