Sha Xiong goes out every morning with his schoolbag, and when he goes out, he usually gets money for breakfast with his father, his father is a taxi driver, he goes out early and returns late every day, and has no time to cook for him, even if he is occasionally free, he is too lazy to do it, so he often eats out since he was a child, and his father will cook lunch and afternoon for them when he goes to elementary school, but after he goes to junior high school, he does very little, one meal a day at most, and sometimes he is busy at night and has to come back late, so they have to do it themselves. However, Sha Xiong is not very good at cooking by himself, and he is not good at studying, his brother is much better than him, but his brother is gone, so Sha Xiong often has to take money from his family to buy food. Usually on Monday or Sunday night, his father put the money on the coffee table, did not speak, quietly lit a cigarette and smoked, Sha Xiong came over with his schoolbag, and picked up the money and put it in his pocket without saying a word. In order to save trouble, usually his father will give him a week's meal money at one time, Sha Xiong took the money and did not go to school, but went to the game hall, the game hall is in the south of the school, the appearance of a kilometer road in the south of the school, and then the fourth middle school and the fifth primary school, the whole county is such a game hall, so there are a lot of people, every afternoon after school, there are a large group of students crowded there, recently the game hall has introduced a new machine, called "zodiac" , the monkey has the largest odds, reaching 1 to 100, and it is a pig, 1 to 50, so I always see a group of people surrounding the game machine inside and out, shouting loudly Monkey and Bajie, the roar shook the sky. But it's not time yet, there are generally no people during the day, only people like Sha Xiong who skip class or don't go to school at all, and occupy a machine alone, either playing motorcycles, or playing CS, Contra, at this time they won't scream loudly, whether they are dead or losing, they are very quiet, at most they throw away the cigarette butt and renew one. Sha Xiong felt that it was not interesting to sit on the side and watch a person next to him play, he also played a lot of this game, obviously the other party played much better than him, there were only four or five game coins in his hand at the beginning, and he won sixty or seventy after five or six rounds with this capital, and after a while, it was more than a hundred. The man looked about the same age as him, but he was wearing a very conspicuous denim suit, the pockets on the denim suit were very large and numerous, the man was stuffed with game coins up and down, left and right, and he was still holding a handful in his hand, Sha Xiong looked a little red, so he walked over and said to the man,

"Oh, brother, win so much, give me points!" This is generally not easy to say in the game hall, because the game currency is equivalent to money here, and asking for game money with people you don't know is equivalent to swindling money from people in school, and almost none of the people who come to the game hall are good stubble, even the group of people who came from elementary school are all smoking cigarettes, and they immediately shouted ten or twenty people when they fought. But today, Sha Xiong really saw that the other party won too much, so he thought that it should not be a big problem to ask for a few, and sure enough, the other party agreed,

"Well, here you go. He left a few for himself to continue to bet, and handed the rest to Sha Xiong, a total of about twenty yuan, a dollar is more than twenty yuan, Sha Xiong was a little surprised to see the other party so generous, took out a monkey cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the other party,

"Why are you so good at playing, do you often practice it?"

"No, I rarely play this trick,"

"Then how can you win so much at once?"

"This thing has a pattern and can be calculated,"

Hearing what the other party said, Sha Xiong was a little skeptical, the so-called regular, he had heard this many times, and he was sure that the probability of a monkey was the least, or how could people make money, but he said that he could calculate this, he didn't believe it,

"You're blowing nonsense, aren't you?"

The other party glanced up at Sha Xiong, his eyes were blazing, as if he wanted to say something, his lips moved and stopped, and he was also wearing an electronic watch in his hand,

"What time are you in junior high school?" he saw Sha Xiong carrying his school bag,

"The second year of junior high school. ”

"To tell you that you don't understand, you know the probability, like these things, all can be calculated, although not 100% accurate, but you can also guess basically the same, it is relatively easy to win. ”

The other person's eyes continue to stare at the game wheel,

"What about you, you still can't study?"

The man smiled first and said,

"It's been a long time since I read it!"

"Then how old are you, don't you study, do your family agree?"

"I don't agree, I haven't been home for more than a month since I ran out this time, and I'm making money by selling game currency to others now. ”

"I don't want to go to school anymore, I just don't know what I'm going to do here, I want to wait until next year to be a soldier, but I'm not old, people require sixteen years old, but I don't want to stay in school for a day!"

"Which school are you from?" The man seemed to be suddenly interested in this topic, and the two chatted, it turned out that his name was Song Huayao, and he was also in the third middle school, but he was two years older than them, he didn't go to school since the third year of junior high school, and he has been fooling around in Internet cafes and game halls and billiard halls since he left school. This guy surprised Sha Xiong, because he didn't study, his parents were so angry that they didn't care about him, he was alone outside, no matter how long he went out, how long he didn't come home, his parents never ignored him, he completely relied on his own ability to make money outside, according to him, mainly by playing various games, and occasionally giving people substitute exams, the main object is those little gangsters who study poorly. He was the top three students in the class in the first and second years of junior high school, the most powerful in mathematics, and he has been the first in the class since elementary school. And the reason why he left school was also because of a very small thing, that is, the math teacher criticized him for being arrogant, not listening well in class, and handing in the exam papers in advance, he left the classroom in a fit of anger and ran home, but when he got home, he was taught a lesson by his parents, and his parents wanted to take him to the teacher to apologize, Song Huayao resolutely refused, his father beat him, and then he didn't go to school at all, no matter how his mother and grandparents persuaded him, his father was so angry that he beat him a few more times, and finally got more and more stiff, and simply didn't go home。
