Chapter Eighty-Three: Another Village (Part I)
Zhang Wen drove aimlessly on the elevated highway, and didn't know where to go, went around the elevated highway, the gasoline was almost gone, refueled, and ran again, approaching the Spring Festival, the road was already a lot empty, and there were few traffic jams.
Unconsciously opened to the old white restaurant, it seems that there is only this place to go, look at the time is only more than nine o'clock, the hotel just began to prepare the noon side dishes, the waiter is doing the sanitation work in the lobby, the foreman of the hotel saw Zhang Wen who walked in, a little surprised. Zhang Wen said briefly: "Take me to the chess and card room, I've been living here for the past few days." β
The foreman was no stranger to Zhang Wen, so he took Zhang Wen to the chess and card room. Entering the chess and card room, Zhang Wen sat heavily on the sofa and let out a long breath, inexplicably feeling home.
Wu Mei listened to the foreman's report, rushed to the chess and card room, and saw Zhang Wen leaning on the sofa in a daze, with tiredness in her eyes that could not be concealed, and she was a little surprised: It was good when she left two days ago! Why are you languishing today?
"What's wrong? Came to me early in the morning? My restaurant hasn't opened yet! Wu Mei asked gently.
"Hmmm! Find a place for free room and board, and if it's not welcome, I'll fuck off. Zhang Wen replied angrily.
"Huh! You're really a kid with a temper, okay, do you want to eat something, I'll get you some? Wu Mei is already a little accustomed to Zhang Wen's style of acting.
"No, I'll just sleep, you go and get busy!" Zhang Wen shook his head, and then walked to the small rest room in the chess and card room: "I have lived here for the past few days, and I have chartered this chess and card room." β
"yes, okay! But you have to pay! Wu Mei said with a chuckle.
"I owe it!"
β¦β¦
Wu Mei was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon, and then she cooked a few more dishes, brought them to the chess and card room, and saw that Zhang Wen had woken up, standing at the window and not knowing what she was thinking?
"Come, let's eat, you are really a young master, and I even want to send you a meal." Wu Mei said resentfully.
"Oh, thanks, I'm really hungry!" Zhang Wen sat down and ate unceremoniously. While eating, he said, "Sister, you can eat some too!" β
"No, I've eaten it, you eat it slowly, I'll wash it, it's full of the smell of oil smoke." After Wu Mei finished speaking, she left.
Wu Mei returned to the chess and card room again, and Zhang Wen had already finished eating. Even the dishes and chopsticks were taken away by the waiter, and he looked more energetic.
Zhang Wen saw Wu Mei come in, her body that had just taken a bath exuded a fresh and elegant fragrance, and if she looked closely, Wu Mei seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and it seemed that the divorce had a great impact on her.
"Sister, you seem to have lost weight?" Zhang Wen asked casually.
"Hmmm! From the divorce to now, I have lost more than a dozen pounds, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise! Wu Mei said lightly.
Zhang Wen suddenly found out that Wu Mei was actually much stronger than him, divorced, and the house was left to Lao Bai, the only thing left was this hotel, and when they divorced, Zhang Wen didn't know about it, and they even avoided her before. During that time, it was all one person who bore all the pain.
"Sister, you are really strong, stronger than me!" Zhang Wen said sincerely.
"It's not how strong I am, but life has to go on, and in the future, I live for myself, and I should live better!" Wu Mei still said gently, a slight sadness flashed between her eyebrows.
Wu Mei also sat down on the sofa, turned her head sideways and asked, "Tell me about you, did you quarrel with your wife?" β
"Hmmm! It's all trivial, but it's upset! Zhang Wen nodded.
"Are you using me as a refuge? Zhangwen, escape is not the way, you always have to face it, you always have to solve it. β
"I know that it will be resolved sooner or later, but the conditions are not yet available. It's not to take refuge, it's to feel like I'm coming home, can you believe it? Zhang Wen lowered his head and said.
"Of course, who called you my brother?" Wu Mei felt the same way.
Seeing Zhang Wen's eyes rolling wildly, constantly sweeping towards herself, Wu Mei was a little flustered and a little funny, and asked, "What are you thinking, and what bad ideas are you playing?" β
"No, no!" Zhang Wen blushed a little and said insincerely.
"Hmmm! Okay, don't pretend, come over and lie down honestly, don't move! Wu Mei hesitated, but said to Zhang Wen tolerantly, as for doing this, is it right or not. I don't even know about myself.
Zhang Wen quickly leaned over, his head resting on Wu Mei's thigh, his face against his abdomen, and his face was satisfied.
Wu Mei poked Zhang Wen with her finger with some resentment, and sighed softly: "I'm so indulgent to you, tell me, why me?" β
"Hmmm! Intuitively. Sister, let me tell you a story:
There was a very ugly ugly man, everything was not going well, he ran into the mountains to look for the Buddha, and then he heard the voice of the Buddha, 'Ugly like you, you are right to look for me.' β
The ugly man asked, 'Do you want me to be like you, my heart is like water, and I want to concentrate on cultivation?' β
The Buddha scolded, 'Damn! It's to make you look ugly like me, so you can find a place where no one is around. People only hear your voice but don't see others, and after a long time, you will become a god. Don't you see that all the 500 Arhats under my command are all strangely shaped? β
The ugly man asked again, 'Then there are always people who are good-looking and want to devote themselves to cultivation, right?' β
The Buddha was embarrassed and said, 'Those people have gone to Guanyin ......'. β
Wu Mei couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and Zhang Wen felt a tremor in her abdomen on her face.
"What does what you say has to do with me?" Wu Mei couldn't help but ask.
"I took a closer look in the mirror before going out, and found that I was really not an ugly man, although it was not Yushu Linfeng, at least it was an outstanding talent. I really didn't send it to the Buddha, I was afraid that his old man would be ashamed of himself when he saw me, and he would kill me in a fit of rage. So I only have two choices: either go to Guanyin or come to you. There are so many people looking for Guanyin that I definitely can't squeeze in, let alone sleep on Guanyin's lap. That's why I had to come to you. Zhang Wen explained very seriously.
"Giggles! I can't compare to Guanyin Bodhisattva, you just can talk nonsense. Wu Mei couldn't help laughing.
"How can it! You are much stronger than her, stylish, colored, warm, textured, and elastic......" Zhang Wen hurriedly argued.
"I'm going to kill you, and I'm talking nonsense, do you know that I'm tired of lying like this." Wu Mei said angrily.
"Don't be tired, don't be tired, just get used to it, who called you a sister?" Zhang Wen didn't apologize at all.
"Humph! Allow you to lie down for another half hour, and then I'll get ready for the night. Wu Mei ordered.
"yes, got it!" The chapter text is tighter.
β¦β¦
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Mei went to work for the evening again, and Zhang Wen was satisfied to turn on the computer and study the odds. There were a few games in the evening that were quite optimistic, and Zhang Wen carefully entered the number jΓΉ and calculated. During the period, the fat man called and told Zhang Wen a somewhat unexpected news: Lao Bai did not go to Macau this week, honestly took care of his son at home, and Lao Bai began to gamble again, betting on Huang Mao, what is more unexpected is that Lao Bai has been gambling very well recently, winning more and losing less, and the profit has been tens of thousands a week, and no one can be in the limelight in the town for a while, Lao Bai now has more than 400,000 cash, much richer than Zhang Wenke, Zhang Wen couldn't help but laugh a little after hearing it, and he couldn't imagine that he would slap a gambling god. I just don't know how long this gambling god can be a god?
In the evening, Wu Mei was busy with the affairs of the hotel, and still brought the food to Zhang Wen, after a busy day, Wu Mei looked a little tired, Zhang Wen hurriedly asked Wu Mei to sit down, and then diligently helped her massage her shoulders, head and neck. Wu Mei couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, don't be a sycophant, I don't know what the hell you are doing?" β
"What words? I really feel sorry for my sister, so I used the ancestral three generations of soft finger massage Dafa, it's really kind and not rewarded! Zhang Wen shouted aggrievedly.
"Hmph, I'll go take a shower first, and then let's eat together!" Wu Mei now has a strong immunity to Zhang Wen's words.
β¦β¦
After eating, Zhang Wen said to Wu Mei: "Sister, I see that you are very tired, you better go to sleep!" I guess it won't be until tomorrow morning after watching the game. β
"I'm afraid that you will be hungry at night, and you won't find anything to eat in the middle of the night?" Wu Mei really wanted to rest.
"Hehe, I'm really moved, or you can sleep in this rest room, I'll call you if there's something wrong." Zhang Wen thought for a while and said.
"Hmmm! Okay, then I'll go to sleep first! Wu Mei got up and walked towards the rest room.
"Oh! By the way, I have 5 games here, and I want to remove one, which one do you say to remove? Say whatever you want. Zhang Wen suddenly asked.
"Sister runs a restaurant to do business, of course 4 is removed!" Wu Mei said casually. Without looking back, he continued to walk towards the rest room.
"Oh, that makes sense, hey! By the way, the door is locked at night, so I can climb in when I sleepwalk at night! Zhang Wen shouted at Wu Mei.
"You dare!" After saying that, he really locked the door.
Zhang Wen eliminated the fourth of the 5 games selected. The remaining 4 games are bet 5,000 each. This is also the largest scale that Zhang Wen can play now, and he really can't afford to lose.
The game began, Zhang Wen was still a little nervous, because there was no live broadcast, he could only watch the live score network, and at halftime, Zhang Wen was secretly glad that the game casually proposed by Wu Mei was really lost, and the rest of the games were in good shape, at least 2 games could already be said to have won, and there were 2 games where the situation was unclear.
Zhang Wen walked around the room with some excitement: Why is the gap between this person and people so big? I picked a random game and picked the wrong one, Wu Mei picked one casually, and eliminated the wrong one, and it may be the only one in the 5 games to lose, that is a 20% chance. Isn't this even more powerful than Chang Xiaorong, who hasn't gone to bed yet? Zhang Wen thought dirtyly.
At the end of the game, 3 of the 4 games were won, and there was one water walk, with a profit of 13,600. This is much better than Zhang Wen himself expected.
