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 I would be noticed 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.
I don’t have a high level of education, 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 people's shady 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, the month of June was not allowed.
, 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 further 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 set up with red and white raincoats. 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 me!"
"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 Jinhua. 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.
I feel like I can win money.”
I turned away from Lao Ge with a dark face and said, "You go ahead and play, I'll wait for you outside."
Lao Ge provided us with shelter when we were in trouble. This is a favor I owe him, but I don't want to give him face by leaving him.
It was a smoky place, and there were people from all walks of life. Who knew if anyone knew Jin Laoer?
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. If you are recognized, Xiaoxuan Douyazai, including Brother Zhiyuan and Chang Xiaoxia, will all be implicated.
Another thing, the eldest brother and the third brother said it when they were still there. He told me that there are two things that people should not touch in this life, one is poison and the other is gambling!
Once you touch these two things, your life will be over!
At first, I was wondering why Lao Ge went from a household worth ten thousand yuan in the 1990s to such a miserable state, with no wife or children, and still had to live in Spider Alley. Now I finally know, it was all his own fault.
I immediately shook off Lao Ge and said I would wait for him outside.
This wait lasted nearly two hours.
If he doesn't come out, I'm planning to find my way back to the air raid shelter.
At around 12 o'clock, Lao Ge looked anxious and hurried out to look for me.
"Brother, brother! Do you have three hundred dollars with you?"
"Lend it to me first, and I'll return it to you in a day or two!" Lao Ge looked anxious.
I said coldly, no, I didn’t bring any money when I went out. (Actually, I did)
Lao Ge grabbed his hair and said: "Hurry up, brother, I will definitely pay you back! You went out to buy a mobile phone a few days ago, and you still have more than a thousand yuan left. I will borrow three hundred, just three hundred!"
I asked you what time you plan to go back.
Lao Ge said at half past one, we will be back on time at half past one!
I thought about it, and finally took out three hundred and gave it to him. I gave it to him for no other reason than to repay him for taking us in.
Lao Ge collected the money, called out to "good brother, please wait for me," and turned back to continue gambling.
Less than twenty minutes later, Lao Ge came out again.
Just by looking at his cocky look, I knew he must have lost again.
"Damn it! Why are you memorizing it like this today! My K-gold family has an A-gold! I have a 456 tractor and a 678 tractor! It's so hard to memorize it!" Lao Ge scratched his head angrily.
I said directly: "It's time to play, go back, do you want to borrow money?"
He was also embarrassed to borrow money from me, but he looked unwilling and nodded dejectedly.
Let me state in advance that I have never gambled in my life, and I have never played cards during the Chinese New Year. Even when my self-employed business reached its peak in the following years, I never touched this thing once.
What do people live for in this life? Who hasn’t ordered a story yet? I don’t have a wife and children who are on the hot bed. Whether my friends believe it or not, but brother, I also had a glorious period of time and I have no regrets.
Later I called Lao Ge and prepared to go back.
As a result, before we left here, we suddenly heard a fight inside the awning, and we could hear all kinds of noises, curses, and things being smashed.
Lao Ge lost the money. He listened to the noise over there and gloated: "Haha, let's fight, fight hard. I guess whoever is out of luck will be caught, or whoever loses is desperate. Don't panic, brother, let's go."
Watch the fun."
"Bang!" Before Lao Ge finished speaking, I saw a person flying out of the tent bag!
No exaggeration!
It really flew out, as if it had been kicked by someone, and it was kicked from the inside to the outside. At least it rolled on the ground for five or six meters!
It's a group fight.
Soon, a black boy wearing a baseball cap came out. He was in his twenties, tall and strong, and his arms were as thick as Uncle Hulu from the Hute tribe.
Except for the beggar Liu who can use a soft sword, I have never seen anyone so good with bare hands before. Bean Sprout relies on recklessness to fight, and this black guy wearing a baseball cap relies on kung fu, which made me dumbfounded.
I don’t know how he offended someone, but people rushed out one after another to join the siege. Some held chairs in their hands, and some held sticks in their hands. They all came to beat him with thunderbolts.
This man could kick people away with one kick, dodge in two steps and then slap the person on the face with a bang! Then the person who was slapped lost consciousness and fell straight to the ground.
I saw a chair hit him on the back of his head. The wooden chair was shattered, but this man just staggered a step and turned around as if nothing happened. He has a great ability to resist the blow!
The masters are among the people.
A dozen people beat one, only to be chased and beaten by him alone with his bare hands!
