Nine Losses in Ten Bets (3)
Christmas is coming, and the weather has been cold for the past two days. Christmas is always cold, isn't it? Last night, Bei Bei waited for a long time at the door of the bathhouse, Peng Cheng saw her through the bright big glass at the door, her face was red and red, as if she was crying, but Peng Cheng knew that she was frozen.
The day before, there was a lot of snow all over the road, and Bei Bei stood behind the snowdrift across the road, staring closely at the door of the bathhouse. She doesn't show her head often, presumably because she is afraid that more people in the bathhouse will see him, Peng Cheng knows that if she doesn't go out, Bei Bei will not leave.
"Xiaomin, I have something to do today, I'll go first, I told the boss, there are few people today, let the child do it himself. ”
Peng Cheng finished explaining to Xiao Min at the bar, turned around and went to the men's department to change clothes, before entering the men's department, he looked out of the gate from afar, Bei Bei was still there, staring at the door of the bathhouse, she wore a red down padded jacket, like a fool.
It was useless to see more, Peng Cheng shook his head, got into the men's department, and explained to the child for a long time before changing his clothes and going out. However, he did not go out to see Bei Bei from the main entrance, but walked through the back door of the bathhouse. He knew that after a while, Xiao Min would tell Bei Bei that he had left through the back door, and she would definitely go to the house again to wait, so he didn't go home either, and took a taxi at the corner of the trail to meet Aunt Xue at Carrefour.
——
Peng Cheng and Aunt Xue went to the supermarket to buy some things, as well as meat, and then went to pick up Aunt Xue's grandson. It was too cold, and Aunt Xue's daughter was reluctant to send her son to kindergarten, so Aunt Xue could only go to her daughter's house every day to pick up her grandson and take care of her at home.
They were making meatballs in the big kitchen of Aunt Xue's house, and Peng Cheng was seriously chopping the meat filling, and the bell-bell-bell, rhythmic chopping of meat filling, like hypnosis, allowed Peng Cheng to completely relax and think. He worked with his head bored, and he didn't speak for a while, and Aunt Xue was also bored to choose vegetables, and from time to time he yelled at his grandson not to run around, which seemed to be unusually calm.
"Auntie. Coldly, Peng Cheng suddenly spoke, startling himself.
"Hmm, what's the matter?" Aunt Xue was casual, and there was no one to answer. Peng Cheng looked back at her, and Aunt Xue looked at him more and more flatly, and he suddenly felt that Aunt Xue understood.
"I still want to try, I think I know what the problem is. ”
"Hey, you can't do this all the time! If you still can't do it in the end, won't you throw yourself in?" Aunt Xue hesitated a little, but still stood up, she said as she took out five red Grandpa Mao from her wallet and gave them to Peng Cheng. "Will you come back for dinner in the evening? I'll make you your favorite food." ”
"Return, Beibei must be at my house! I can't go home. Peng Cheng took the money and stuffed it in his trouser pocket. He looked up and smiled, revealing his increasingly childish tiger teeth.
——
"Did you tell her?" Before entering the dark field, Peng Cheng called Xiao Min.
"That's it. Xiao Min's voice was expressionless, which made Peng Chengben's surging mood sink slightly, it really didn't seem to be a big deal, just say it, you can't do anything.
Immediately after Xiao Min inadvertently made a big move, this sentence completely ended all the totals in Peng Cheng's heart, and he could even see Xiao Min lowering her head and raising her eyebrows lightly with a slight mocking virtue, she said, "Do you regret it?"
"Just say it!" Even if there was no Xiao Min, Peng Cheng would have already understood in his heart that there was no point in tossing between him and Bei Bei to this point. So he decisively threw away the cigarette that only took two puffs: "What do you regret later." Then he took a few quick steps and ran into the dark field.
There were so many people in the field today, and they squeezed to the edge of the security door. Almost all of them are smoking, losing money, winning money, and watching the excitement even more, such a high-flying store is also filled with smoke, even his old smoker for more than ten years feels choked.
There is no need for heating, it is always hot in the dark field, and it is probably people's desires that are boiling, which makes the fire rumble in the dark field and blackens everyone's face. There are a lot of people playing with money, and there are more people watching the excitement, and now it's a bit of a rubbing shoulder, and even the middle open space that is always empty on weekdays is full of people.
The young man knows that he has only five hundred yuan in his pocket, and as for the massive flow of people in this room, he is afraid that he is too thin to even pick his teeth, where can he compete more with these people with a dozen thick tickets, and if he wants to play, he can only find the right time to draw a short time. But it is not easy to find one from the hundreds of opportunities, he can try two or three for five hundred yuan, and in the past few days, he has already folded into several five hundred for the possible two or three.
But he can still trust himself, Peng Cheng has a good eye, he can always see the clues first when playing with the computer, these five hundred have mostly exchanged for a lot of opportunities, but it's a pity that Peng Cheng can't eat enough of this kind of sweetness, so he folded again and again, folded a lot, and the honey on the side of the bee's mouth is even more insufficient.
——
Peng Cheng is looking forward to a rise, which he calls a rise. In his heart, this rise must at least be enough to pay off the debt owed by Beibei. In fact, Peng Cheng won back that debt, which is the main reason why he always took 500 yuan to try. At least on two occasions, Peng Cheng won more than 6,000, but he didn't take the money and left, which made Peng Cheng very annoyed.
After a while, there were more people in the house, this field was only recently discovered by him, the odds here were higher than before, and there was no ordinary game area at all, the men who came here to play were like going to a brothel, the purpose was simple, and they came in to make money.
Peng Cheng found a position with few people and looked at it coldly, he knew that these people would have no money in their pockets, the difference was who didn't have it first, the eight machines in the front row all had bags on them, some were deflated, some were improvised, he found the big brother who was deflated and stood still, waiting for the big brother to give him the opportunity to rise.
The big brother smoked a basket-colored box, the thin kun smoke, placed on the top of the Xiaoice box, the pipe is particularly long, Peng Cheng stood behind the big brother, one foot supported the strength of the whole body, this position just saw the box of cigarettes, he saw it for the first time, what is the name?
The eldest brother looks very rough, and his fingers are so rough that the lines are clear, and they are black like five small sticks. The thin little Kun smoke in his hand was like a toothpick painted blue on the buttocks, very thin, and the big gold tweezer on the ring finger of the eldest brother's left hand was dazzling and thick, like a whole gold ingot, but the mint smell of this Kun smoke leaked some timidity.
Peng Cheng didn't like the smell of the smoke, it was fragrant, and it lacked the rough smell of a man. For a person like him who only smokes 1953 Hongta Mountain, this kind of thin cigarette book is too cost-effective, and there is no interest in making two puffs of Bacheng burn. In fact, his favorite is still the golden leaf, the kind of cigarette with a bit of strange taste, ruthless and hidden behind the weight, Peng Cheng feels that this is the taste that a man should have, bold, turbulent, and unexpected.
The eldest brother Leng Ding turned around and faced Peng Cheng with his cigarette staring at him. "Hey, hey. His big black face suddenly became excited, and Peng Cheng also recognized him, this is not the big brother he has seen in the dark field before.
