Chapter 158: Hired thugs
When the figures of Oni Che and Bai Xiyue reappeared on the gambling street in Liangji Town, the fanatical gamblers were the first to appear in front of them, and the kind of adoring eyes eager to dissolve the two of them and carry them with them at any time, and there was a sound of squirming discussion.
"This is the legendary god who came to start the game!"
"Every bet is sure to win!"
"It's only been four or five days in town, and none of the casinos can make money."
"So this man is really a demon?"
"Who knows, I heard that the bosses worked together to invite Taoist priests to collect demons!"
"Shhhh Don't say go! What if I am heard? ”
Is it true that the ears of the gods are deaf? Can't hear anything? Ignoring the heated discussion among the townspeople, Oni Che looked for the figures of the thugs he had just become familiar with, and found that they did not stop him in every way as before, and said boringly:
"Hey, you don't even need a thug to stop today? It seems that I am full of confidence today. ”
The sound of people's discussion sounded much lower, but it could still be clearly heard in Ghost's ears, just as he was hesitating which gambling house to go to find a Taoist priest.
I saw that a timid person suddenly came out of the crowd around him, as if he was holding something in his arms, and before the ghost could see the object clearly, the man had already stumbled in front of them in three steps and two steps, blocking the way, and hurriedly lay on the ground and trembled and said: "This gambling god, please accept me as an apprentice!" ”
Ghost Che stared curiously and didn't dare to raise his face, kneeling like a pregnant woman, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, the whole action seemed to be hiding some treasure, I didn't expect that there were such strange people in Liangji Town who wanted to learn gambling from him? Curiously, he asked, "Why do you want to worship me as a teacher?" ”
The man still didn't dare to raise his head, and said with a trilling voice and a cry: "I think your skills are very good, and you can let me win back everything I lost, so that I can have a face to see my family, I lost all my belongings in the casino just now." ”
Ignorant mortals, instead of reflecting on their gambling, began to intensify their belief that they could win back what they lost, Ghost Che pulled Bai Xiyue to deliberately bypass the man in front of him, squinted his eyes and said leisurely: "It's better to quickly dodge away from my face, why do you think I will help you?" Human life is predestined, but you still need someone to save yourself, I can't help you with anything. ”
Ghost Che's indifferent attitude made the man immediately raise his head, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and despair and shouted: "It's because of people like you that I will lose nothing, and I'm going to kill you now!" So that I may be liberated! ”
The unexpected situation before seeing it was unexpected for everyone, in fact, this man was known to everyone in Liangji Town on this street.
He is nicknamed Sandan, a little minion who often watches the casino field, left the town since he was a child, and learned strong martial arts from somewhere, and after returning to the town, he was favored by the owner of the gambling house to become a thug.
But because people are not clever enough, they can't do it when it's time to start, they are soft-hearted when they see begging for mercy, and they often let go of gamblers who evade debts, even if they have strong martial arts, they are squeezed out by the thugs on this street for nothing.
In order to be able to smoothly integrate into the interpersonal relationship of the gambling street, the self-esteem and vanity of the three eggs decided to test the water in the casino, exercise gambling skills so that others can afford him.
Unfortunately, it backfired, and the casino's approach to locals and outsiders was completely different.
When outsiders come to the casino, they are all uncles, and when they leave, although they are lured by the casino and lose all their money, they will still be sent out like uncles.
Locals are different, but when they enter the casino, the means of the casino is to put a long line to catch a big fish, first let the newcomers who come to the casino for the first time, once or twice get rich, and then begin to use the means of "winning and losing" to lure the novice into the gambling puzzle completely, so that this kind of novice who was going to try the new becomes a gambling addiction.
Although the process is a little complicated, once successful, this is the long-term money, support the field of the owner, gamblers in order to have gambling chips, these people will give up the original tiring job, even to steal to rob, but also want to live in the gambling house.
Before you came to the casino, you were the uncle, and after you got out of the casino, you were the grandson, and from then on you became a slave of the casino.
This is how Sandan became addicted to gambling, and by the time his family found out, it was too late.
You know, gambling houses never accept gamblers as thugs, for the simple reason that no one can guarantee that these gamblers will not delay their work in order to have a good game.
While losing his job, Sandan owed a lot of gambling debts, and he couldn't do the work of cheating and cheating, so he could only watch the people from the gambling house come to his house to collect debts.
Last night, Sandan took the most valuable title deed in the family and found a local pawnshop to replace it with silver, wanting to have another final "struggle".
He couldn't believe that he had been working in the casino and was going to lose, and when he lost all his money in the casino, the thugs of the casino suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him closer to the dark hall in the casino.
Sandan was frightened and panicked for a while, in fact, the reason why he was able to get the title deed of his family was because his parents persuaded him hard to sell the title deed for silver to pay off his gambling debts, and decided that the family would move to a nearby village to tide over the crisis by farming.
But when he walked into the casino, his heart and hands itched, thinking what if he won it back with interest on the pai gow table? Isn't the whole family immune to life's hardships? What's more, didn't he win a lot of silver at the beginning and go home?
The fantasy is beautiful, the reality is cruel, after a night of gambling, all the money sold by the title deed is planted in the gambling house.
The three eggs raised their heads, and by the dim candlelight, they just happened to see the owner of this gambling house, that is, his past boss, the strange thing is that every boss on this street is sitting on both sides of the dark hall, not to mention that there are ** people around, I can't guess their intentions at all, has he been blacklisted by the major gambling houses?
He said weakly: "Boss, I will definitely pay back the money I owe to the gambling house in two days." ”
The boss sitting at the head snorted and said, "Who scarces your little silver!" We don't want any money you owe! ”
Hearing such news, Sandan instantly jumped up from the ground with joy, stomped his feet and clapped his hands with excitement in his heart, realized his faux pas, and hurriedly clenched his fists, bent down and bowed and said: "Thank you, thank you boss for letting me go, your great kindness, my Sandan is unforgettable in this life!" In the future, we will definitely work for you! ”
Hearing this, the seven or eight gambling house owners laughed out loud, and the laughter was full of indescribable mockery, only to hear the boss on the opposite side raise his hand and slap it twice vigorously, "Bang!" The deterrent said coldly: "Slow! I'll show you something first! ”
Sandan is a person who practices martial arts, discerning the approaching sound not far away, his heart is full of uneasiness, and the ominous feeling spreads all around, a pair of eyes are staring at the direction from which the sound came, and when he sees the faces of the people who were dragged by the thugs, he exclaimed: "Dad! Mother! ”
The two elderly men, their hair was messy, and they were covered with scars from being whipped all over their bodies, and the blood flowed, and in some places the blood and clothes had been adhered together, once they were pulled, the wound was more painful, because they couldn't bear the pain, and the old people were still humming and wheezing in their mouths.
The shouts of the three eggs made the two of them raise their eyelids with difficulty, their eyes were full of helplessness and grief, and they looked at him stupidly, unable to say a word.
A long sigh came out of the old father's mouth, and the face of the third egg was already full of tears, and now the suffering of his parents was all the result of his own hands!
It is said that this gambling is a pit jumping, he used to disagree, thinking that his concentration is indestructible, but now he is deeply affected by it, and he regrets it, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and asking: "Boss!" Why are you doing this?! I will definitely pay off your gambling debts! Please spare my parents at home. ”
The boss didn't ink, opened the skylight and said brightly: "Among the thugs on this street, your martial arts are not bad, but you are not too ruthless, and now I have something in my hand for you to do, and if it is done, the accounts between us will be written off, and your father and your mother can go back with peace of mind." ”
Saying that, he glanced at the three eggs again, and said with a smile to all the gambling house owners around him: "If it can't be done, these two old things, don't think about seeing the three eggs, follow them to Huangquan Biluo, and use your life to repay the debt owed to me!" ”
These bastards! When other people's lives are at stake, they can still laugh out loud! The third egg pulled out the long sword from his body, stabbed directly at the opposite boss, and shouted in a tearing voice: "I fought with you!" ”
At this time, the two men on both sides of the boss dodged in the blink of an eye, one knocked out the long sword in Sandan's hand, and the other quickly subdued him to the ground.
The boss stood up from the Taishi's chair, walked up to Sandan, and said disdainfully: "Sandan, you'd better be smarter for me, if it weren't for the master's fancy for your skills and your identity, we wouldn't have exalted you like this!" ”
The three eggs struggled powerlessly in place for a few moments, and found that the disparity in force between himself and these two masters was huge, and he could still hear the faint voice of his parents' breath in his ears, at this time, he could still hear his mother's words of persuasion not to mess around, and he couldn't wait to raise his hand, and slapped his two mouths, in order to gamble and put his parents in danger, he was really not a thing, he was still a disciple of Tianjimen, and he had to surrender and asked: "What do you want me to do?" ”
The owner of the gambling house took out the things that had been prepared a long time ago, placed them in front of the three eggs, pointed to a bucket of steaming blood, and said, "We want you to splash this on the person who has recently come to the gambling house to stir up trouble." Then he took out a copper coin sword, threw it to the hand of the third egg, and said commandingly: "Then use this to kill him!" ”
For the gambling god who came to the town and planned to start the game, in fact, the three eggs didn't pay attention to it at all, looking at the copper coin sword on the ground did not look like a murderous weapon, I heard that it was an object dedicated to killing ghosts, and was about to ask, when I heard the owner of the gambling house say cautiously: "The master wants to verify the quality of this ghost, and this kind of thing makes him come forward, which is too trivial to make a big fuss." You can get things done for me! ”
