"I'm hungry, old Gu." Shen You's mouth pursed, his eyes lingering in the restaurant on the side of the road.

"The money is in the car...... Gu Beimo turned out his coat pocket and spread his hands helplessly.

Ding Xiu looked around and saw more members of the Skull and Bones in the streets, most of whom came out after dark, some of them wandering on the road, some heading east.

Gu Beimo dragged Shen You away from the door of the restaurant, "Let's go, let's go get some money first." ”

"Where are they going?" Ding Xiu pointed at those people and asked.

"It should be the eastern district of Xingtang Town, where the nightlife is about to begin." Gu Beimo looked at the brightly lit direction, thought for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go there too." ”

"Old Gu, do you want to visit the kiln?" Shen You glanced at him with disdain, "Don't take Ding Xiu with you." ”

"Hehe, I thought so, but I was shy." Gu Beimo smiled: "Okay, no kidding. I mean, let's try our luck there, maybe we can make some money. ”

The eastern district of Xingtang Town gathers almost all the entertainment venues here, and it is a veritable gold cave in the town. These casinos are one of the most important sources of income for the Skull and Bones Club, and they are also the first choice for the town's miners to spend money on after work.

Casinos, bars, red light districts, and even underground cages and other places are all available in the East District, and Gu Beimo has set his sights on the casinos over there, so he plans to go there to make money.

"Lao Gu, you said to go to the casino? But we don't have the principal. Hearing his thoughts, Shen You said with a dark face: "We didn't have any money for dinner just now, don't tell me that you left money to gamble." ”

"When did I ever have money on you and let you go hungry? Hum. Gu Beimo glanced at her, "Isn't there still an underground cage bucket?" I went up to play a game or two, took the money and went to work in the casino. ”

"This idea seems to be good, Ding Xiu, you can also get on, you must earn more than Lao Gu." Shen You's eyes lit up and he looked towards Ding Xiu.

"What is an underground cage bucket?" Ding Xiu asked.

"Black market boxing, also known as cage fighting, is a gambling game in which two people are locked in an octagonal cage to fight. There are no restrictions on the moves in this type of fighting, and it doesn't end until one side throws in or dies. Gu Beimo explained to him, and said: "The players on the court can get bounties after defeating the other party, and the audience outside the arena can also win money after they are doomed." ”

"Then I'll go too." Hearing that he could make money, Ding Xiu nodded.

He still felt a little guilty about Gu Beimo and Shen You, because the carelessness during the day caused the three of them to still be hungry, and the whereabouts of the car and goods were unknown, so it was naturally incumbent on him to have a chance to make amends.

The eastern part of Xingtang Town is very different from the bazaar in the northwest corner, which is full of people during the day and brightly lit at night. The streets of the East End are littered with neon-lit signs, some depicting sexy girls, others with wine glasses or pokers.

Standing on the street, the three of them could hear the noise of some stores, and the heavy metal-style music was very penetrating, and this sound came out through the walls, giving people a hysterical sense of mania.

"It's noisy here!" Shen You rubbed his ears, feeling a little uncomfortable with the nearby environment.

"It's true that the East End is not suitable for minors." Gu Beimo smiled, "Do you want to borrow two balls of cotton from you and plug your ears." ”

"Hmph, don't." Shen You knew that Gu Beimo was making fun of himself, and snorted angrily. She came to Ding Xiu's side, grabbed Ding Xiu's arm, and rolled her eyes at Gu Beimo again, "Stinky old Gu, I hate it the most." ”

The girl and Ding Xiu are both orphans, and the two have the same disease, and Ding Xiu rushed over to save her today, so she has a little more dependence on Ding Xiu.

When he had a quarrel with Gu Beimo, Shen You would unconsciously move closer to Ding Xiu.

The place where Xingtang Town fought underground cage fights was not easy to find for a few outsiders, but fortunately, Gu Beimo had traveled to many places, so he also found the entrance after several setbacks.

The entrance to the underground cage fighting place was a short alley, and there were three or four strong men guarding the entrance of the alley, and these strong men saw that Ding Xiu and the three were fresh faces, so they stopped them in front.

"What for?" One of the brawny men asked.

"Ask for money." Gu Beimo didn't panic at all when he met their gaze.

Several strong men glanced at each other, all with contemptuous smiles on their faces, and they turned sideways to make a small path and let Ding Xiu and the three of them in.

"Hahaha, asking for money, I'm afraid I'm not here to find death." When the figures of the three disappeared into the short alley, the strong men laughed heartily.

Gu Beimo's "seeking wealth" is a black word about fighting underground cages in Tang Town, which means that he wants to come over to fight and earn a bounty. If it is a spectator and a gambler, it will say "press money". He had been to Xingtang Town last year, and although he had never been to the underground cage fighting place, he had learned a lot of the rules here from his acquaintance Mo Xiaokun.

It's dark in the alley, but when you reach the end, you open a door and you're in front of you.

There was a lot of space inside, and Ding Xiu pushed the door in, and a wave of sound came to their faces. The cheers of the audience and the shouts of the cage players came and went, and Shen You covered his mouth in shock.

"This is the underground cage bucket?!" Ding Xiu looked ahead and saw that a boxer was being beaten by his opponent in an octagonal cage on a high platform surrounded by the audience.

Gu Beimo nodded, and his eyes began to look at the surrounding situation inside.

There are several more such octagonal cages inside, and each cage is full of people, and everyone's attention is focused on the fighters fighting to the death in the cage, and from time to time cheering for those who have the upper hand.

"Kill him! Shoot him! ”

"Seed, stand up, fight back to Lao Tzu, where is your fist?"

"Haha, did you see it, Lao Gan, I pressed it right."

"Alas! He's so damn unlucky, Lao Tzu's wages for going to the mine this month are gone. ”

On the stage closest to Ding Xiu, the battle between the two fighters is coming to an end. One of them wrapped his legs around his opponent's waist from behind, strangled his neck with his right hand, and slammed his head with a fist with his left hand.

The person who was locked by the opponent with ground skills could only raise his hand to protect his head, his face was red from lack of oxygen, blood was dripping from his mouth and nose, and many blood droplets splashed onto the ground, staining the area under him red.

"It's so fierce!" Gu Beimo was secretly frightened.

"Lao Gu, are you sure you want to go on stage to fight?" Shen You looked at the bloody and violent scene in the cage, and couldn't help but worry about his companions.

"It should be fine to go up and play a game or two...... When the time comes, remember to carry me down. Gu Beimo's heart was also bottomless, after all, he had never been on such an occasion, so he was not familiar with the environment in the cage. If he fought like this every time, he felt that even if he had a few lives, he would not be enough to die.

"I'll go on, Lao Gu, after all, I dragged you down today." Ding Xiu stood up and said, he only knew that Gu Beimo's marksmanship was okay, but he didn't know how Gu Beimo's fighting skills were, and it seemed that this cage bucket should not be able to use weapons, so he was a little worried that his companion would suffer.

"You're on?" Gu Beimo hesitated.

"I'm on. Where to sign up? Ding Xiu said categorically.

"Follow me." Gu Beimo took him and Shen You apart from the crowd and came to a window against the wall inside.

There is a sign hanging above the window, with five big characters on it: "Boxer Registration Point".

"This is it." Gu Bei pointed to the window under the sign and said to Ding Xiu.

"I want to sign up." Ding Xiu stood in front of the window so that the staff inside could see him.

"Name." The man inside asked.

"Ding Xiu."

After reporting his name, Ding Xiu saw the light in the window flash, and a machine "squeaked" to print out a piece of paper.

"Stage four, it's you in the next two rounds, take your entry sheet with you." The person in the window handed out the paper and glanced at Ding Xiu indifferently, as if he was looking at a fresh corpse.

"No. 4 ......" Ding Xiu got his registration form and began to look for this number among the many platforms.

"There." Shen You pointed to a platform near the corner and shouted.

"Let's go over, Xiao Ding, there are two rounds in the middle that you can just observe." Gu Beimo said to Ding Xiu.

Saying that, he was not at ease and admonished again, "The underground cage fights are endless, and it doesn't matter if you kill someone, remember not to be soft-hearted, otherwise if you are not careful, you may fall into the way of others." ”

"Do you want to kill someone?" Ding Xiu asked.

"You can kill, in that octagonal cage, only the dead won't hurt you."

"I see." Ding Xiu nodded.

"Also, if you can't beat it, don't be reckless, the people who fight in the cage are all ruthless characters who dare to die."

Gu Beimo told Ding Xiu a lot along the way, Ding Xiu remembered it all, and the three of them came to the No. 4 platform, and the round above had just begun.

The spectators next to them had already finished placing their bets, and some expressed their dissatisfaction with Ding Xiu and their sudden squeezing to the front.

"Get out of here, you damn it, it's blocking Lao Tzu's view."

"Get out of here, boy, this is where the grown-ups play."

"Shut up Lao Tzu, he's a boxer, and he's going to be on stage later." Gu Beimo shouted at those who were insulting.

"On stage, are you rushing to find death at such a young age? Hahahaha, the fourth platform is not the place you should come, at least not tonight, I wish you all the best, early death and early life. ”

"Can I beat them up now?" Ding Xiu asked.

"Ignore those people, Ding Xiu." Shen You tugged at his sleeve.

"If you do it here, it's a trouble, and we'll be blown out." Gu Beimo also persuaded him: "These people don't have the ability to go to power, so they only dare to scold a few words like this to find confidence." They comfort themselves by scolding you, and deceive themselves into thinking they are better than you. ”

"Okay, then I'll shut them up on stage later." Ding Xiu nodded, turned his gaze to the octagonal cage on the stage, and no longer paid attention to the noisy people behind him.

"That's right, Ding Xiu, make money with harmony." Shen You saw Ding Xiu's calm and calm appearance, and his previous worries were swept away, "I just like your confident look." ”
