Chapter 282: Nine Lives (Xin)

Lao Zhang nodded, picked up the wine glass, and poured down the foreign wine in one gulp, the familiar oak aroma eased Lao Zhang's nervousness a little. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Lao Zhang silently sat on the chair opposite Wu San, waiting for Wu San's conditions.

"Teacher Zhang, our cooperation time is only one month, after a month, whether we win or lose, we will all break up, you don't want to come here again in the future, do you promise?" Wu San thought for a long time and said this.

Wu San's words were short and simple, but they made Lao Zhang very puzzled. If Wu San doubts his ability, he will not put forward the idea of cooperation at all, let alone always create opportunities for himself to experiment, then the condition proposed by Wu San must be based on reasons other than his profession, is he afraid that he will not say anything and leak the secret between the two? Or is he afraid that he will be weak in his heart, have compassion, and be unwilling to win with a dead hand, which will affect his harvest? Lao Zhang did not understand for a while, so he simply asked.

"Boss Wu, I never talk nonsense outside, you can rest assured of this. If I don't understand the rules of your business, just tell me, and I'll do what you say. Are you worried that we're going to win too much and get hated by people? I think we go once in a while, and there are a lot of casinos anyway, so we don't have to keep an eye on one and won't attract their attention, so why should we only work together for a month?"

Wu San waved his hand to Lao Zhang, but his eyes did not leave Lao Zhang. "Teacher Zhang, we have teachers and rules in this industry, if you want to do this business for a long time, you can't forget the words of Master Zu. We have a blood oath of three non-gambling in this industry, which I swore to abide by when I kowtowed my hair when I started, and it cannot be broken. ”

Lao Zhang was stunned when he heard Wu San's words, but it is reasonable to think about it, not many private enterprises in China can survive for ten years, not to mention Wu San's disgraceful and blood-licking business. There is no teacher, there is no predecessor summary, just rely on their own blood to do it, not to mention the risk, there are many unexpected situations that have no experience to solve, with the teacher, there is a teaching, naturally very different, so it seems that China's underground casino is also full of survival wisdom.

Before Lao Zhang thought about it, Wu San said again, "This is not gambling is life-saving money, and these two are ill-gotten gains, these two, Master Zu said that I can't gamble with this money, and he also requires that my handicap can't do business with these two kinds of money." ”

After listening to Wu San's words, Lao Zhang immediately realized a problem, and hurriedly asked: "Boss Wu, this rule itself is right, but I don't understand a little, if this ancestor master's rules are to bind you, this is no problem at all, but if other gamblers come to you, how do you know that the money he comes to gamble is life-saving money or ill-gotten gains?"

Wu San smiled at Lao Zhang, raised his wine glass and touched Lao Zhang. "Being a teacher is different, and when I think of the idea, it took me a long time to understand the implicit meaning of Master Zu. I won't answer your question first, I'll tell you what this third non-gambling is, destiny doesn't gamble. ”

Destiny doesn't gamble? Now Lao Zhang is completely blinded. In the previous novels, there were often gamblers who lost red-eyed, gamblers who gambled on their feet, and it is estimated that there were also gamblers who gambled on their lives. But these are at most cheap fates, how can they be called the mandate of heaven? Does it mean that the game of the person of the mandate of heaven cannot be gambled, but who knows whether the person who comes is the mandate of heaven? In this way, this casino cannot be opened? Lao Zhang did not understand what Wu San meant at all.

"Knowing the destiny of heaven, it is natural to see whether people are gambling on life-saving money or ill-gotten gains, as the so-called people have nine lives, the prudent know themselves, one life is the sky, one life is self-defending, the situation of floating wealth, there is a degree of advance and retreat, the bureau of the destiny of heaven, what is it?"

Ma Wu in the courtyard suddenly stopped talking about this, and I woke up from his strange description just now. Ma Wu poured the last bit of the bottle of wine on the table into his own glass, and began to twist another bottle of wine.

"Wu San's last sentence, what is behind the Bureau of Destiny? What's your urgency with wine, this bottle is all yours. I saw that his face had turned purple and black, and his tongue was a little big, for fear that he would fall asleep after a few more drinks, so I quickly knocked on the table with a wine cup to remind him.

Ma Wu leaned back in his chair and looked at me in a daze, as if he had just come out of the story. "Chang, I really can't remember the last sentence. You don't know what level of education I have, but I can remember a few sentences, is it easy? Don't ask for me. ”

"Lao Chang, don't you know, that Lao Zhang, said that he was a teacher, but he drank a little hard, that time I drank more than today, Lao Zhang drank no less than me, he drank wine, full of Baoding words, how can I hear clearly, I can't guarantee that these words are right, after I woke up, I thought it was interesting, and I figured it out sentence by sentence. ”

At this time, I realized that the story told by Ma Wu was heard from Lao Zhang, and when he told it to me, it must have been mixed with his imagination, and that day, when Lao Zhang told him the story, he also drank wine. The plot of the story should be fine, because he doesn't have the ability to let Ma Wu make up such a story, but I don't have to stick to every word of it. But what I don't understand is that Ma Wu spent an afternoon, and now it's past dinner, to tell me the story of this old Zhang, what does it have to do with himself, what is it that makes him, a bold horse, distracted?

I poured a cup of tea for Ma Wu, hoping that he would not immediately lay himself down, but at least tell me the story.

At this moment, Ma Wu's daughter-in-law brought two bowls of noodles into the courtyard.

Ma Wu's daughter-in-law Lu Xiaojuan is actually more familiar to me, because she spends much more time looking at the store than Ma Wu, going to her store to buy things, and often chatting with her when she is not busy. Lu Xiaojuan turned out to be a worker in a textile factory, the factory has not been profitable over the years, has been on the verge of bankruptcy, and often cannot pay her salary.

said that she had done a retreat, Lu Xiaojuan was actually just in her early thirties, but maybe she was staring at the store all the year round, almost purchasing and buying goods, and doing store sales was all grasped by her, and she had no time to pamper herself, so she seemed to be a few years older than her actual age. Especially recently, it is estimated that because of Ma Wu's incident, her cheeks are pale, her eyes are blue, and she looks a little haggard.

When Lu Xiaojuan entered the hospital, she saw that Ma Wu was dizzy and dizzy, and she couldn't sit still, probably at the door when she heard the last thing we talked about, she suddenly became angry in her heart, and as soon as she put her face on the small table, she began to count Ma Wulai. Don't talk about any serious things at home, and still have the heart to drink and talk about idle days here. I don't care about anything in the store.,I know that I'm fooling around outside.,What you had to listen to yourself.,Don't get a lottery ticket sales point.,Won't show up in the matter.,A lot of things are said.。

I listened carefully to Lu Xiaojuan's words, and immediately realized that something big must have happened in Ma Wu's family, and this matter has something to do with the lottery ticket sales point, and it is also related to that old Zhang. But I can't guess what the connection is.

Ma Wu's face opposite me was blue and white for a while, probably because he was a little slow to think after drinking, and he was stunned for a long time before scolding: "You are a woman, it's not useless, it's not out of you, what's shouting, not afraid of people's jokes." ”

It's not a family, it's not a door. The temperament of these two people is too similar, so their family is the most violent in the alley, but they can make trouble, and these two people are also the best in the whole alley.

When I heard this, I hurriedly picked up the noodle bowl and said, "Xiaojuan's craftsmanship has risen in the past two years, and I can smell the fragrance before you enter the door." ”

Only then did the two realize that there was a big living person sitting next to them, and they were embarrassed to quarrel any longer, so they stared at each other and didn't speak.

I saw that this situation was a little embarrassing, so I hurriedly handed over another word, and took a step, "Xiaojuan, you don't have to blame Ma Wu, I asked Ma Wu to tell me that story, I'm not curious, he's a little too drunk, and he is excited to talk, and he can't take it back, so let's do it, Xiaojuan, you sit, you tell me about it, and see if I can help." ”

I pulled a chair from the side for Xiaojuan to sit down, then picked up the noodle bowl and prepared to eat two bites.

Lu Xiaojuan glared at Ma Wu again and sat down at the small table. But obviously she didn't expect me to let her continue, probably because she didn't know where to start speaking, and looked up at Ma Wu again. Ma Wu on the side ignored her, lit a cigarette, and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Lu Xiaojuan's anger probably came up again, she stopped looking at him, turned her face and said to me: "Uncle Chang, that's the case, we won five million." ”

Listening to her words, I almost didn't drop the noodle bowl on the ground, and Ma Wu didn't sit down for a moment, so he hurriedly held the table with his hand.

I was stunned for half a minute, and then asked Lu Xiaojuan with a wry smile: "Xiaojuan, don't scare your Uncle Chang, are you saying that you and Ma Wu bought a lottery ticket and won 5 million? If you really win, why do you two have to invite me to Donglai to rub it together, right? A bowl of noodles sent me away?"

Lu Xiaojuan shook her head again, and continued: "Uncle Chang, I really don't have the heart to joke with you, the two of us haven't slept for several days about this. ”

Seeing Lu Xiaojuan lower her head, tears rolling in her eyes, I realized the seriousness of the problem, quickly put down the bowl, patted her shoulder, and motioned her to hurry up.

Lu Xiaojuan reached out and picked up Ma Wu's wine glass from the table, and drank half of the wine in the cup in one gulp.

(If you are confused, the sea of happiness becomes a sea of suffering, like water condenses into ice; when you are enlightened, the sea of suffering is a state of happiness, like ice as water.) It can be seen that there is no difference between bitterness and happiness, and the confusion is not two hearts, but only in a blink of an eye. --"Caigen Tan")
