The next morning, Bai Qi took Lan Mei to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, looking at the magnificent ancient pagoda, Bai Qi was always not interested, always felt that he had seen it, knew it, and it was over.

Bai Qi planned to set off immediately, from Xi'an to the mountain city, Lan Mei said to use resources, picked up two tomorrow's tailwind guests, to leave tomorrow, there are still a few days before the New Year, to Zunyi is not very far, Bai Qi has no opinion.

In the afternoon, Lan Mei said that she was going to the video game city, but Bai Qi said that she couldn't find it, but Lan Mei didn't follow, saying that she didn't look for it, so she said that she couldn't find it, which was obviously a lie.

Bai Qi had no choice but to take Lan Mei to find a video game.

The urban villages in the northwest cities have basically been renovated now, and only a few are on the outskirts of the city, and some urban villages have developed around the wholesale markets on the outskirts of the city.

The rent in urban villages is cheap and suitable for migrant workers, so it is very convenient to live in urban villages, and food and accommodation are also cheap.

Bai got up and went to a relatively large urban village, and found a sign for a video game on the upper floor of a supermarket.

Bai Qi and Lan Mei walked up to the second floor, and when they entered the door, there was a bar, and there were more than a dozen video game devices in it, but no one was playing, and there were many people in the innermost.

Bai Qi went to the bar and rushed a 200 yuan card, came to a row of game machines, sat down in front of a game machine, and asked the waiter to turn on the machine.

It's a game called Animal Paradise, where tigers, bears, monkeys and rabbits race, bet on that one to win, bet on the middle to win points, the tiger wins the most, the rabbit wins the fewest points, the highest is forty-six times, and the least is four times.

Bai Qi asked Lan Mei to bet, Lan Mei didn't know how to play, so she bet on points, lose more and win less, when she was about to lose, Bai Qi would teach Lan Mei to bet once, and as long as Bai Qi bet on points, she won.

Bai Qi said that people who often play are called this smashing tiger, because only if you hit the tiger, you will win, and the odds of smashing other are small, although the probability of appearing is large, but it is not always smashed.

Bai Qi asked Lan Mei if she wanted to win, of course Lan Mei wanted to win, who would want to lose.

Then, Bai Qi commanded, Lan Mei charged, each animal is also divided into three colors, Bai Qi said that there is a bet on the color, most people are bet on the animal, each time choose an animal, all three colors are bet.

Bai Qi is also betting on animals, basically can bet on the middle, bet on three, in one, bet on the small animal to win is really not much.

Later, Bai Qi commanded Lan Mei to bet on a few bears, and later on two tigers, Lan Mei won more than 10,000 points, ten dollars, Bai Qi said that he could go to the bar to return the money, Lan Mei did not bet, saying that it was good to win, and could not be exported.

Bai Qi let her, returned the points to the card, took the card to the bar, and returned more than 1,500 yuan, counting the 200 yuan when buying the card, Lan Mei won more than 1,300 yuan.

On the way back, Lan Mei was very excited, saying that this video game is really fun, and she can win money, so she doesn't have to do anything in the future, just go to play video games every day, be entertained, and give money.

Bai Qi said: "People pay rent, buy equipment, let you play, and send you money, people are from a madhouse." ”

"Oh, that's our luck, isn't it. Lan Mei said.

Bai Qi said: "This kind of machine has a program, there is a big odds, if it exceeds this odds, how to bet and how to lose." ”

Seeing that Lan Mei didn't understand, Bai Qi continued: "Go according to the normal procedure, such as walking ten times, out of a tiger, two bears, three monkeys, four rabbits, if you always bet, then the machine will run, and in the future, according to the program, it will go out of the rabbit, out of the rabbit." If there are frequent rabbits at four o'clock, it is running, and the machine is going to eat points, and the people who play often will go, not bet, or change the machine. ”

"You see that the front of the machine is full of people, there are some people who just sit there, don't play, they are just watching, waiting until the machine enters the normal program, they bet, this kind of machine, the program is simple, many people understand it, but, although it is simple, it can't be cracked, and there is no way to understand the program, it will run. Bai Qi said.

"Then this machine is destined to win, you know, why are there so many people playing. Lan Mei said.

"This is gambling, many people bet that they can control the rhythm, will be rational selective betting, and there are indeed some people who often win money, most of them see others winning, thinking that they can also win, pure luck betting, betting with the machine, where the luck comes from. Bai Qi said.

"Then this should indeed be forbidden. Lan Mei said.

"Video games, there are basically no real video game stores in China, now you want to play, open your mobile phone, you can play whatever you want, there is no need to run out to play, video game stores are generally gambling in nature. At the beginning, this kind of video game store was all over the streets of Xi'an, and it was only about a year ago, and then it was banned. Bai Qi said.

"Then why can you still find it here? Lan Mei said.

"This is mainly a matter of public security jurisdiction, those wholesale markets are generally under the jurisdiction of the development zone, and the urban villages are under the jurisdiction of the original township police station. Development zones, on the other hand, generally only manage enterprises and merchants, regardless of local residents. Therefore, as long as the people do not report it, the officials will not correct it. Bai Qi said.

"So now are we going to report it?" Lan Mei said.

"It's the Chinese New Year now, and the government officials are very busy, if we report the case, we have to stay as witnesses, not for the time being, let's talk about it later. Bai Qi said.

This afternoon, I went to the urban village, played in the video game city for more than an hour, it was more than six o'clock, I had dinner, rested early, and prepared to get up early tomorrow to go to the mountain city.

At seven o'clock in the morning the next day, I picked up two tailwind passengers, went directly to the highway, and prepared to cross the Qinling Mountains to Ankang, and go Dazhou to the mountain city.

The two hitchhikers were construction workers, saying that the construction site had been on holiday for more than ten days, and the wages were only paid yesterday, and there were more than 20 people in the same township together, and the others went home first, leaving the two of them to wait for the money, because they didn't know how to give money that day, and they couldn't buy tickets in advance, so they just took their ride.

Lan Mei asked them how the construction workers were now, how much money they earned, and whether their wages could be on time.

They said that it is okay now, they are doing piecework, generally eleven hours a day, more than 500 a day, can go to 20 shifts a month, 10,000 yuan a month, and the salary can be obtained, but it is a little delayed, the developer has no money, and said that he would settle the bill on vacation, and it has been delayed for almost half a month, or go home early.

These two people are from Yongchuan, Shancheng, and they said that they originally drove out to work by themselves, and generally a few relatives drove a car out and saluted when they went back, so they let them drive the car back first.

Bai Qi asked if they could drive, both of them would drive and have driver's licenses, and each of them had a car in their own house.

Bai Qi said: "You can, you have a house and a car, and you can live a well-off life." ”

Worker A said: "In terms of income and consumption, we do have a well-off life, but our life is still poor, we are away all the year round, our family members are children and the elderly, and we live outside the construction site or rent a house, the conditions are not very good, we work outside, as long as we solve the problem of food and clothing, this kind of life is very poor." ”

That's really no way, home is a place where a person lives for a long time, and now many people have made their home a temporary hotel, in order to live.
