A table, two empty bowls, and a few dice are the treasure games that can be seen everywhere on Yanjin Street.
Treasure game is another name for casinos. The simple treasure game on the street is even more deceptive. The dice are filled with mercury and the dealer can control the points at will.
"The bet has been placed, the bet has been placed. Make sure you don't bully me. It's about to start..." The dealer is a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he keeps shouting.
"Wait a minute!" A sturdy man wearing a short-breasted jacket squeezed in and slapped several wrinkled large-denomination bills on the table.
The banker frowned and said: "Hu San, listen to my brother's advice and memorize it during this period. Stop playing today and play again later."
Hu San waved his big hand and said: "I just did some fortune-telling. I will be lucky today and I will definitely be able to make a fortune!"
Dealer: "Well, since you are in charge of wealth, I can't stop you. However, let's vilify it in front of you. A good man is willing to admit defeat. You can't make trouble again!"
Hu San said impatiently: "There's so much nonsense, just drive away!"
"Do you want to buy a big one or a small one?"
“Buy big!”
The dealer shook the dice cup in his hand, shook it for a while, and then banged it on the table.
Hu San and several gamblers who bet on big yelled in confusion: "Big, big, big!..."
The dealer opened the dice cup, took a look at the count, and said loudly: "One, two, one, little one!"
Hu San scratched his hair in frustration and said angrily: "I'm going to smash the fortune-telling stall soon!"
The banker put away the money and continued: "It's a bet, it's a bet. Make sure you don't cheat!"
Hu San leaned over and said in embarrassment: "That...that..."
The dealer looked at him and said: "If you want to place a bet, hurry up, it's about to open!"
Tiger Three: "Give me the money back."
The dealer was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you say?"
"Give me the money back!" Hu San was a little embarrassed, but still repeated.
"Give it back to you? Why?"
"This is the money my family spends to buy rice."
"Hu San, I haven't warned you before. A good man is willing to admit defeat. Don't do this with me!"
Hu San: "The family is still waiting for me to buy rice to cook..."
"If everyone were like you, I wouldn't be able to drink the northwest wind!"
Hu San: "You pay me back first, even if I owe you..."
The dealer ignored him and continued to say loudly: "It's a bet, it's a bet, it's a wink, you're an innocent child, you give in to those who don't play!..."
The table was quickly filled with banknotes, and Hu San was pushed aside.
Hu San's eyes were red, his hands clenched into fists, he suddenly pushed everyone away, grabbed the money on the table and ran away.
"What's going on? You can't afford to lose, so you want to grab it openly?" The dealer was already on guard and grabbed Hu San's arm.
In this kind of side business, there are helpers to prevent anyone from causing trouble and damaging the place. As soon as Hu San took action, two people rushed over.
Hu San picked up the stool and threw it over, one against two, but he didn't lose at all.
Chang Hongling and Hattori Mina happened to see this scene while they were shopping.
Some onlookers who knew Hu San commented: "This Hu San made trouble again after losing a bet. Last time he cursed and swore he would never gamble again..."
“A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit!”
"There's really no way to deal with such a fool..."
"beep--"
Several patrol policemen came over and yelled: "Hu San, it's you again!"
Hu San defended: "Officer, they worked together to trick me..."
Dealer: "Hu San, if you are a man, just tell the truth to the police officer, am I telling you to be careful and stop playing around? You don't listen, you are saying that you will be lucky today!"
Hu San said unconvinced: "It's no use having good fortune, there must be something wrong with the dice!"
"What's the problem?"
"It must be filled with mercury!"
Without saying anything, the dealer put the dice on the table, picked up a brick, and smashed it down hard. With a "pop!" sound, the dice was smashed to pieces.
"Torasan, you see clearly, where is the mercury!"
Hu San was stunned, scratched his head and said: "What's going on..."
Hattori Mina, who was watching the fun, couldn't help but said: "Stupid, he changed it!"
"Yes, you changed just now!" Hu San said immediately.
Chang Hongling pulled Hattori Mina and said, "Let's go, mind your own business."
Hattori Mina said as she walked: "Such a stupid person still gambles, no wonder he loses!"
Chang Hongling looked back and saw the police escorting Hu San in the opposite direction.
The next day, the police station and jail.
A policeman opened the iron door of the prison and said: "Hu San, come out!"
"Officer, do you want to go to court?" Hu San walked out and asked cautiously.
"It's time to go to hell, you can leave." The policeman turned around and locked the iron door.
Hu San was very surprised. According to past experience, he would have to be detained for at least three or two months this time. How could he be released suddenly?
The policeman looked at him and said, "Hu San, you can do it. You didn't hang out in Yanjin for nothing, and someone actually came to bail you out."
"Bail me?" Hu San's jaw dropped in surprise.
"Why don't you want to go out?" The policeman took a roster and said, "Sign and stamp!"
"Officer, who is the person who bailed me out?" Hu San finished pressing his fingerprints and rubbed the fingerprints on his clothes.
"I heard it's a gentleman named Zheng."
"I don't know anyone named Zheng... Officer, what's his name?"
"I didn't know, you'll see it soon, let's go, let's go!" the policeman said impatiently.
Hu San walked out of the police station, facing the dazzling sunshine, and looked around with an awning, but no one he knew was waiting for him.
After walking a hundred or ten meters, a gray car slowly stopped beside him. The rear window of the car rolled down, and the person inside said: "Hu San, get in the car."
Hu San took a look and saw that there was a middle-aged man in his forties in the car, and the driver was a young man in his twenties.
"How do you know me?" Hu San asked doubtfully.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "My surname is Zheng, and I have just completed your bail procedures."
"...Are you Mr. Zheng? We don't know each other, why are you helping me?" Hu San said with a straight eyebrow.
Mr. Zheng opened the car door and said, "Can I get in the car?"
Hu San got into the car and the car drove slowly along the road.
It was the first time for Hu San to ride in a car. Everything he saw felt new. He pressed the car seat with his hand and sighed: "It's so damn soft, like sitting in cotton!"
Mr. Zheng: "Let me introduce myself first, I am Zheng Huai."
"Mr. Zheng, why are you helping me?" Hu San reached out and knocked on the roof of the car.
Zheng Huai sighed and said: "Brothers Hu, to be honest, I have something to ask you!"
"Except for my strength, I can't do anything. What do you want from me?..." Hu San suddenly became wary.
Zheng Huai took out a thick stack of large-denomination banknotes from his bag and said, "This is the deposit. I will give you a big thank you after everything is done!"
