"What the hell is such a mysterious place, it can't be the kind of striptease place you took me to last time in Jiangzhou, I know how good you are." Xiao Yuan asked with a smile.

"Phew, you're so good, I'm a decent gentleman who hasn't found a girlfriend yet, don't say that in the future, it will ruin my reputation if people hear it." Jiang Hua hurriedly denied it.

"Are you a gentleman?" Xiao Yuan asked rhetorically, laughed, and lowered his head to eat noodles.

"Hey, what do you mean, am I not a gentleman?" Jiang Hua saw Xiao Yuan's expression and hurriedly shouted.

"Let's eat noodles, stop talking nonsense." Xiao Yuan said.

"Okay, okay, when you get to the place, you'll know that I'm not taking you to a striptease place." Jiang Hua muttered in a low voice, and also lowered his head to eat noodles.

Almost like a whirlwind, the two of them ate quickly, one person had a big bowl of noodles, all of them were wiped out in five minutes, and left the restaurant after checking out, Jiang Hua took Xiao Yuan around the block along Chinatown, and soon broke away from the crowd celebrating the Spring Festival, came to a relatively quiet street, and passed through a block forward, the atmosphere became lively again, and a building with a sign of the Chinese Business Club came into Xiao Yuan's eyes.

"Here we go, let's go inside." Jiang Hua stopped, looked up at the big sign erected in front of the building, and said.

"Chinese Merchant Club?" Xiao Yuan looked at the five big characters on the sign, and asked with some confusion, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Of course it's looking for excitement, come with me." Jiang Hua said, but he didn't take Xiao Yuan to enter from the main entrance of the club, but went around the building in a circle and came to the back of the building, where there was a door where people came in and out from time to time. When passing by them, occasionally a few people would look the two of them up and down with bad intentions, which made Xiao Yuan vigilant.

"If you go in from here, you won't be able to make a hole." Jiang Hua said, his footsteps did not stop while talking, and he walked in with Xiao Yuan through the door, inside was a long aisle, there was another door at the end of the aisle, and when he pushed the door in, it was a bar, where lazy music was played, and some people were drinking in it.

Jiang Hua did not stop in the bar, but walked directly through the bar, went out through another door, came to an elevator, stopped, waited for the elevator to open, and he pulled Xiao Yuan into the elevator.

"I'll do a magic trick for you." Jiang Hua smiled, saying that he raised his hand and pressed the buttons on the elevator floor, these buttons lit up with Jiang Hua's press, but when Jiang Hua pressed the last button and his hand left the elevator button, all the buttons went out at once, and at the same time, the elevator moved, as if it was sinking.

"Is there a secret in this?" Seeing this, Xiao Yuan asked curiously.

"Of course, this secret is not known to everyone, usually this is an ordinary elevator, but according to a certain code to press a button, the elevator will take people to some special floors." Jiang Hua said.

"How did you know this secret?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

"I have my way." Jiang Hua blinked and said, but did not say what the method was.

The elevator stopped while talking, and in a pleasant bell, the elevator door opened, and the two came out of the elevator, through a corridor, to a dimly lit small hall, in which some sofa seats and matching small round tables were placed, and some people sat on it, these people were engrossed in staring at a large screen hanging on the wall in front of the small hall, and a fighting match was being staged on the big screen, but judging from the tragedy of the game, the two people on the field seemed to be fighting to the death, except for a pair of shorts, Without any protection, not even gloves, one of them was already covered in blood, but the other was chasing and fighting.

When Jiang Hua took Xiao Yuan to sit down in a corner, the situation in the fighting arena on the screen suddenly reversed, the original dominant person was suddenly attacked by his opponent, hit the temple and fell to the ground, and at this time, this person seemed unwilling to let go of the person who fell to the ground, stepped forward and rode on the person, holding the person's head with both hands, regardless of the person's fierce struggle, twisted hard, the person's struggle suddenly weakened, and he lay on the ground softly without movement, obviously his neck was broken, and it seemed that he couldn't survive.

"Roar ......" The victorious man jumped up from the ground, regardless of the blood on his face, raised his hands and roared angrily, but many of the audience were happy and sad, some cheered loudly excitedly, and some seemed to be scolding their mothers in frustration.

At this time, the lights in the originally dim small hall suddenly turned on, and the originally quiet atmosphere was also broken, some people were very excited, while others were very depressed, Xiao Yuan noticed at this time that most of these people had some colorful square cards in front of them.

Four beautiful, scantily clad women each walked out with a tray, took away some of the small cards in front of some of them, and placed some more small cards in front of others, Xiao Yuan and Jiang Hua did not place any small cards on the table in front of them, a woman asked the two if they wanted to exchange chips to bet, and Jiang Hua refused, this process took about twenty minutes, after that, the lights dimmed again, and a new life-and-death battle began on the big screen.

"Do you see what this is?" Jiang Hua asked in a low voice.

"Of course you can see it, an underground casino, but it's not ordinary gambling, but betting on the lives of the two people on the screen, right?" Xiao Yuan asked, staring at the two people who were trying to attack each other on the big screen, because it was the first time to see this kind of life and death fight on stage and watching the play off the stage, he couldn't say what it felt like in his heart, whether he felt sympathy and sadness for the two people on the stage, or for the indifference of the people on and off the screen and the people who bet on the lives of these two people here, or both, or neither, he himself couldn't tell.

"Do you have some sympathy for those two people?" Jiang Hua seemed to feel Xiao Yuan's emotions, so he asked.

Xiao Yuan stared at the screen and did not speak, at this time, the temptation of the two people in the fighting arena to each other had ended, and the fight suddenly became fierce.

"You don't have to sympathize with them, these people are outlaws, although they may lose their lives, but if they win, the reward is also very huge." Jiang Hua said.

"Where's the fighting ring?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"I don't know, no one knows." Jiang Hua said.

Xiao Yuan was silent again, watching the increasingly fierce battle on the screen, which had begun to stain blood, but he was thinking in his heart if he encountered such a life-and-death opponent, would he be able to cope with it.

"I took you to see this, and there is another purpose, which is to let you see what a real life-and-death struggle is, although you have learned a lot from the mountain wolf, but you have experienced too little." Jiang Hua's faint voice came again.

"Thank you." Xiao Yuan said.

"You said that we are brothers, and the words thank you are redundant between brothers." Jiang Hua said.

At this moment, the two people fighting on the screen fell into a dead situation again, one of them grabbed one of the other's eyes, and the other person's hands choked the person's throat, rolling on the ground, roaring, and after a while, the person who was choked by the throat did not move, and the victorious person struggled to stand up from the ground, and one of his eyes became a bloody hole, but he didn't care at all, raised his hands and roared, showing his victory to the people in the audience.

"It's tragic." Xiao Yuan looked at the person on the stage, his eyes closed slightly, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, Nan muttered to himself.

"Is it tragic?" Jiang Hua smiled indifferently and said, "The real battlefield is a hundred times more tragic than this. ”

Xiao Yuan opened his eyes, glanced at Jiang Hua, and asked, "Is there still such a battlefield now?" ”

"Yes, but ordinary people don't know about it." Jiang Hua said.

"Have you experienced it?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

"Not yet." Jiang Hua said.

"Not yet." Xiao Yuan chewed on this sentence, and watched the lights in the small hall turn on again, and the beautiful woman came out again in the small hall like a flower butterfly, shuttling back and forth with light steps, which made him feel like he was in a dream.

The third fight began again, and Xiao Yuan seemed to be used to this level of fighting, until one of them killed the other and won the victory, and when he cheered on the stage, his eyes did not take half a minute off the screen.

"Huh?" Just a moment before the lights in the small hall came on, Xiao Yuan suddenly noticed a familiar face in the audience on the screen, and stood up suddenly.
