There is a street in the middle of Wanyue Island, called Shangzhuang North Street, it is about two kilometers away from the ferry, and there is a chess and card hall next to the street road, called "Huantianxidi Chess and Card Room".

Few people know the owner of the chess and card room, and I heard that not many people have seen the true face of this Lushan.

Jin Huanzhao's Dream Fulfillment shop is not far from the chess and card room, separated by about three stores and a small road, and the neon sign can be seen at a glance.

Jin Huanzhao has never seen this person, he has been on the island for five years, the first three years were here as a soldier, and the last two years were discharged here, because he is familiar with the situation on the island, he is here with his former girlfriend, and his current wife runs a KTV with the characteristics of the island, it is better to call it a teahouse than a KTV, at most it can be called a music teahouse, people on the island like to drink afternoon tea, dad tea, and roar two throats by the way.

The charge is also reasonable, a tea house in the hall is 5 yuan, a plate of peanuts is 5 yuan, a plate of melon seeds is 5 yuan, and the beer is about the same price as outside, especially suitable for the consumption of local ordinary income people; The biggest advantage of Mengyuan shop is that it is relatively new, and Jin Huanzhao is also quite discerning, and he is willing to spend money on audio equipment, so at the same price, his business here will definitely be much better.

He is also worried about whether other similar types of stores around him will be red, so he often helps introduce them to a few nearby stores, after all, everyone can make money for a long time, and he still understands this reason;

His wife Jiang Hua is not involved in this business, whether it is a KTV or a tea house, it is always a mixed place, not to mention that his wife is still a little bit beautiful, he thought about it for a long time, and finally had a whim to separate about 30 square meters of shop on the side of KTV, selling handicrafts, souvenirs and ordinary accessories, and the door on both sides was also sealed, so that the guests on both sides would not flow, and hired a small salesman Aman to help her watch the store, and get off work early at night, at the latest at seven or eight o'clock.

As a result, business turned out to be booming, plus the people on the island gradually became familiar with his former identity, selling some face, and from time to time some old comrades-in-arms passing by came to cheer, he himself was also arrogant, and his small life was really nourishing.

However, these are only the surface, he has a knot in his heart that he has never solved, and it slowly becomes a heart disease.

It was a coincidence today that he met two people, although they were strangers, but he could also see that the aura of these two people was not ordinary, especially the eyes of the middle-aged man, from the perspective of his own scout, this must be a professionally trained person, and that righteousness seemed to be able to burst out.

He was quite optimistic that perhaps the person he was waiting for had actually appeared.

Of course, he is only fifty percent, so he will take the initiative to leave his contact information and look forward to the next meeting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

There are many legends about the owners of chess and card shops.

The most miraculous thing is that the whereabouts of this person are mysterious, which is difficult to understand in the real society, Jin Huanzhao is also very puzzled, there are a lot of people in and out of the chess and card room every day, how can no one have seen the boss?

However, the chess and card room is not without management personnel, just a young man in his twenties and a teenage girl, the young man is responsible for collecting money, the little girl is responsible for serving tea and water, and there is no one else; these two people are also surprisingly conscious, never late or leave early, there are no cameras installed in the store, and customers will not agree to install, but the loyalty and steadfastness of these two people far exceed their own age.

Jin Huanzhao was born as a scout, and he had a habitual psychology of scrutiny, but this incident also made him a mystery in his heart, and sometimes he even wondered if this person was particularly strong in anti-reconnaissance ability, so that he could become transparent and incomprehensible in front of everyone.

The reason why he pays so much attention to this chess and card room, in fact, there is a more private reason, that is, although his wife Jiang Hua is good at everything, she has a little hobby - she loves to play mahjong, this chess and card room is on the side, so it naturally becomes the first choice, and sometimes he comes all night at every turn, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

If you have a concern in your heart, you will naturally pay attention unconsciously, even if you walk to the door of your store to smoke a cigarette, you will subconsciously glance in that direction and glance at it, and in the past two years, this has become a habitual action, and you can't notice it.

But it is true that in two years, he has never seen the boss, only two waiters, two fixed ones, he tried to find out some information from Jiang Hua, Jiang Hua will naturally say that the young man is the boss, she guessed.

But what does it matter to me playing mahjong? The boss will never take money.

It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and the customers of the Dream Fulfillment store have not yet come, but the 24-hour chess and card room is still overcrowded.

It was still the second lunar month, and the temperature was not high, but the weather was a little hot today, so he took off his coat and wore only a small vest. This small vest was still issued when I was in the army, and I was reluctant to lose it after wearing it for many years, and the quality was really acceptable, and even the thread was not exposed. On top of that, the vest also has a compartment that allows for a very lightweight bulletproof baffle that doesn't necessarily stop bullets, but prevents immediate death.

After so many years on the island, he knew that it was peaceful on the surface, but in fact it was full of danger. Many people on the island have all kinds of guns in their possession, shotguns, air guns are considered ordinary, I heard that the largest gang here HN gang also has rifles, rifles, rifles, although only heard, but it is always not wrong to prevent it from happening.

The management fee is paid by the locals, not much, three or five hundred yuan a month, which is quite affordable, and the people who collect the money are also serious people, and it seems that they are still some college students in the past. They speak very politely, they charge more when the business is good, and they know how to be considerate when the business is bad, which is also benevolent.

At this time, he was sitting at the door of the store, and the salesman Aman was sitting in the store reading a book, both of which seemed a little boring, but life is not like this, day after day, there are always empty times.

He took out a cigarette and looked habitually at the "joyful chess and card room" again.

Many are coming out.

He lowered his head and served his tea, and suddenly his brows furrowed, as if something was wrong.

A group of people left the chess and card room one after another, he had already seen his wife's beautiful figure, it was not work time, how could she leave the chess and card room so early, it was really evil.

Before Jiang Hua walked to the door of the store, her face was already a little annoyed, and she shouted angrily at Jin Huanzhao: "What the hell, ...... today" muttered in her mouth again.

When she approached, Jin Huanzhao smiled slightly, and said with some schadenfreude: "Running the train with a mouth, is it okay for a lady to do it?"

Jiang Hua also laughed, she was not so obsessed after all, she walked over quickly and sat on the plastic chair opposite, crossed Erlang's legs, and the flesh-colored stockings shook so that Jin Huanzhao couldn't open his eyes.

"I don't know what the boss thinks, it's going to close the door suddenly, it's really!" she took out her mobile phone to look at the time, and it was only 3:55.

Jin Huanzhao was also a little surprised: "Is it closed? Is it closed, such a good business ......?"

Jiang Hua pursed his lips and said angrily: "Who knows, if I play like this in a good way, next time I want to play mahjong, I have to go far away, and I am annoyed." She also took a cup of tea on the table and drank it.

She glanced at the salesman Aman who was burying her head in reading, and then leaned over and whispered: "I secretly heard that the owner of the mahjong parlor was washed last night......

Jiang Hua made a frightened expression and stuck out his tongue: "Bah, I don't know if it's true, it's terrifying." ”

Jin Huanzhao naturally understands what it means to be washed, but women love gossip, and he can't believe it all. So he just said lightly: "Don't hearsay, maybe it will open normally again tomorrow,...... What is so good about this mahjong parlor, the conditions are so ordinary. ”

Jiang Hua's eyes smiled uncertainly: "What do you know, there are special services here." ”

Jin Huanzhao panicked for no reason, and hurriedly said, "What special service?"

Jiang Hua looked at him funny: "What are you nervous about, what kind of special service can you be, do you want to crook you......" She nodded the stupid man's forehead and said with a smile: "Old customers are five folds!"

Jin Huanzhao also laughed, it turned out to be this, which made him sweat.

The two of them chatted for a while, and the sun gradually set below the horizon, and at this time, there were already tea customers coming one after another, so the two of them skillfully opened the shop, this time there was no card to play, and Jiang Hua suddenly wanted to help. In the past two years, I have patronized playing cards, and obviously tired this man enough.

But soon Jin Huanzhao stopped Jiang Hua's hand, he waved his arm and motioned his wife to go back to the store, Jiang Hua said unhappily, what are you anxious about, there are few people now, what are you afraid of.

Jin Huanzhao glared at her angrily, Jiang Hua had no choice but to withdraw his hand, she naturally couldn't get angry at this man who held herself in the palm of her hand.

She had no choice but to obediently walk out, walk into her craft shop, and say hello to Aman, who raised her head slightly and smiled cutely.

Jiang Hua had a whim, walked over and said, "Aman, you have a boyfriend and no ?......."

Aman didn't seem to come back to her senses, why did the proprietress suddenly ask about this, she shook her head.

"How about I introduce you to one?" Jiang Huaxing was thick.

Aman didn't seem to be very interested, but she was embarrassed to refute, she said softly, "I'm not ready yet." Besides, I'm still ...... young."

Jiang Hua didn't let go: "What's small? You have twenty, right......?"

Aman whispered, "19." ”

Jiang Hua thought for a while and said, "That's not small. I'll introduce you to this person, you're satisfied, and he's more handsome than your big boss. ……”

Aman looked at the proprietress suspiciously, not knowing who she was talking about.

"Do you remember, the guy who often came to our store to play some time ago, do you feel handsome?" Jiang Hua was happy himself, "I just asked him not long ago, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet...... Tsk, Aman is really talented and beautiful with us, why didn't I find out earlier?"

Aman obviously remembered that his cheeks were flushed uncontrollably at this time.

She never thought that she could pursue such a man, she was a salesman who didn't graduate from high school, but the other party was so good, but she was really moved.

Jiang Hua plays mahjong every day, and suddenly has nothing to do, and the more she thinks about it, the more she thinks about it, the more energetic she becomes, she is more excited than Aman herself, and she runs to the teahouse, shouting while running.

"Lao Jin, Lao Jin!" Jin Huanzhao stopped what he was doing and looked at the excited Jiang Hua inexplicably.

Jiang Hua hurriedly said, "What about your comrade-in-arms? Why haven't you seen ......him in the past few days?"

Jin Huanzhao was inexplicable: "What are you looking for him, someone else has to go to work, how can he run to us all day long......

He seemed to think about it for a while, and said to himself, "Yes, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I haven't called him." ”

But this is not abnormal, so he said: "I'll call him another day and ask him to come and sit." ”

Jiang Hua hurriedly said: "Don't change the day, just tomorrow, how about it?" Come to the house for a meal, I happen to be fine, I will cook for him personally." ”

Jin Huanzhao looked at her funny, and picked up the phone helplessly, he couldn't resist this mother-in-law who likes to be surprised all day long.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Since the chess and card room was closed on this day, the door has been closed for three consecutive days, and the excitement of the past can no longer be reproduced. Most of the regular customers live nearby, and they can be seen from the house if they open the door, so there is no one walking around, about this matter, Jin Huanzhao is the most surprised, the business is at its peak when it is closed, even the saint may not be able to do it.

Unless—

Is the gossip Jiang Hua said true?

Jin Huanzhao's comrade-in-arms' phone call got through, but the old comrade-in-arms said that he had been too busy recently, and he had to run around, so he was afraid that he would not be able to come over in a short time, so Jin Huanzhao would not be able to force it, not to mention that Jiang Hua was actually only a momentary heat, and he couldn't hear about it, so he was even more interested.

The chess and card room was closed happily, Jiang Hua held back for two days at first, but soon his hands itched, and he didn't have much to do every day.

Aman obviously didn't have many illusions, after all, she knew the temperament of the proprietress best, but her heart was a little shaken at the time, since it was a bubble, it was natural to burst.

So she still continues to read books every day, and the business in the store makes a lot of money, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't, anyway, it's very idle, handicrafts, and if you catch one, the profit is beyond imagination. However, this kind of business with no match, ordinary people will be bored to death, but Aman is not, she is a beautiful girl who loves literature, and she exudes a different elegance from top to bottom.

Suffice it to say, this girl is really not ordinary-

Some of them don't eat the smell of fireworks in the world, and they are almost deaf to the ups and downs of the outside world, even if everyone thinks they are surprised, she just smiles indifferently.

Her full name is Ning Xiaoman.
