For many people, being poor is worse than dying.

——— inscription

Ye Pingping was released from prison.

However, there was no joy in his heart.

He knew that he came out because some people had gone in. If you don't offend the police, you will offend another group of people, and those people are even more terrible.

For half a month, he was fined 10,000 yuan and detained for half a month, and in just half a month, Liu Xingyu arrested some people, so fast and efficient, it was terrifying.

In fact, he knows a little about who sells drugs and uses drugs in his field, but he has always turned a blind eye, and the more he knows, the more bad it is.

He has always been very clear about his positioning, he gambles by himself, takes a little commission for each game, and other things, he doesn't want to know, and he doesn't need to know, just make money.

But this time, Liu Xingyu did not give him room to maneuver, either cooperate, or he was charged with drug possession or even drug trafficking, and stayed in prison for the rest of his life, he had no choice, and if he wanted to prove his innocence, he could only cooperate with the police.

The sky was overcast, and at this moment, Ye was in a fair mood.

Walking out of the detention center, a red modern car has been waiting for a long time.

A delicate and charming woman got out of the car and threw herself directly into Ye Pingping's arms.

Feeling her fragrant body temperature, Ye Pingping realized that at this time, it was already winter.

It was only in winter that he felt her enthusiasm like this, like a fire, enveloping him.

He, kissed him, domineering and intense.

He knew what she wanted, just like he did.

For half a month, their thoughts, like a rolling spring tide, exploded at this moment.

The stubble on his lips made her confused, and she stood on her tiptoes, and she hugged him and let him ask for it.

The wind picked up, and the two got into the car, and their clothes gradually faded.

At the door of the detention center, the delicate modern car trembled.

He's fierce, fierce, and fast......

Not long after, with a dull roar, he was weak and lay on top of her.

"Brother Ye, what's wrong?"

"Xiaotong, I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood, I came a little faster, I didn't let you have fun!"

"You should be happy to come out today, I have booked a room in the Tianpu Hotel, and I am going to bring my brothers here and celebrate you well!"

"What is there to celebrate, it's hard to move an inch, Liu Xingyu doesn't give people like us a way to live!"

"Yes! In the past half a month, she has arrested a lot of people, our bosses, have been arrested by her, but most of them have been released, and a very few are still inside, I inquired, it is Brother Rong's person, who has admitted to drug trafficking, and the materials have been transferred to the procuratorate, and the trial will be held on Nanshui Road in two days! I don't know who is so bold as to dare to betray Brother Rong! ”

"How is he?"

"I heard that I was on vacation in Hainan!"

"Let's go back first and pack our things!"

"Pack up?"

"Ancheng, I can't stay any longer, I've been cracking down on everything recently, let's find another way!"

"Where are you going?"

"Longtan! We drove the field to the bottom, anyway, it doesn't cost anything, a wooden plank, four bags of grain seeds to solve the problem, we pull people to go to the countryside to gamble, the police force is the weakest there, it's going to be the New Year, those who work are also coming back with bulging wallets, they can gamble big, and it's safe! ”

"You...... Brother Ye, gambling is strictly forbidden in Longtan, it has been like this for more than ten years, no one dares to be presumptuous there, the Wu family, we can't afford to provoke it, if they let them know, they will die! ”

"Dead? I'm more afraid of being poor! ”

With a soft roar, the red modern car slowly moved away, and at the door of the detention center, a withered yellow leaf fell, just where the two had stopped.

……

Today, Jiang Ruoxue got up early, strictly speaking, she didn't sleep well at all last night.

A nightmare that woke her up.

She dreamed of that man, and to her horror, apart from the shocking scar, his face, she couldn't see clearly.

It was still under Changbai Mountain, it was still the ice field, it was still the long footprints, she hugged him from behind, but she couldn't feel a trace of body temperature.

Just when she wanted to find the reason, the man in her arms was nowhere to be found.

As if he had never existed, she looked back and his footprints were gone.

In the vast expanse of the entire ice field, she was the only one left, lonely and deserted.

"Fake, it's all fake, woo woo!"

On the bed, Ruoxue hugged her head and cried bitterly.

No one knows how helpless she is at this moment.

Her heart was hollowed out, and the perfect world in her heart also collapsed.

It turned out that he had never belonged to her.

All the time, she felt sad and powerless for her absurdity, but she never felt sad.

And now, she only felt one thing: pain, heart-rending pain.

The wind blew, Zheng Yong pushed open the door, silently walked to the bed, and patted her on the back.

He didn't speak.

He didn't know what had happened to her, so he didn't know how to comfort her.

Suddenly, Ruoxue threw herself into Zheng Yong's arms and cried, like a child who had lost his most beloved toy.

"Brother, what should I do, he ...... He doesn't want me anymore! ”

"Who? Which bastard, dare to bully my little sister, tell the eldest brother quickly, I'll pick his skin! ”

He ...... He is Wu Zhiyuan! ”

"What? What are you talking about? Girl, you ...... You! Brother Yuan, you say? ”

"It's not Wu Zhiyuan, it's him, it's not him......"

"Girl, you're confusing me......"

Ruoxue didn't answer, and kept crying until a round of red sun slowly rose, crossed the window, shone on the bed, she wiped away her tears, and came out of Zheng Yong's arms.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Zheng Yong felt a pain in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

In fact, he was shocked.

Brother Yuan has been dead for seven years, and if you count from the time he left Shanghai, it has been eight years, and at that time, Ruoxue was just a teenage girl.

Even if they are in the same school and the same professor, but they don't intersect at all, how did she fall in love with him?

Zheng Yong naturally didn't know that the Wu Zhiyuan in her heart was like a character in a novel, which was created by her, not Wu Zhiyuan in reality.

At first, she thought it was, but when she saw Chen Xi, she was sure that they didn't love the same person.

Perhaps, from that moment on, her inner world intersected with reality, she was confused, and gradually, she couldn't tell which was true and which was false, until that dream, which tore her inner world to pieces, and she returned to the cruel reality.

It was precisely because of this that she felt extremely painful.

After being silent for a long time, Zheng Yong asked tentatively: "Sister, you came to Longtan for ......"

"No!" Ruoxue shook her head, "It's not for him, I love this land, this land has what I want, love is one thing, ideals are one thing, I don't come for him, I don't come to argue my philosophical views, just because, I love it!" On the day I first arrived in Longtan, I didn't lie to my sister-in-law Yuyou, I love it here, that's why I came here! ”

"Does my Sister Xi know? You ...... to Brother Yuan"

"She knows...... However, we don't love the same people! Not at all, so ......"

"You have to get out on your own, I can't help you!"

"I've come out and it's just painful...... Fortunately, in addition to love, there are more good things to pursue in this world, big brother, don't worry, my major is philosophy, I always know who I am and what I want! ”

"Then you have a good rest! Something call me! ”

"Brother, I'm hungry and want to eat beef noodles!"

"Uh...... Haha, okay, you wait, I'll go to the cafeteria and bring it to you! ”

"I'm going to eat what you made!"

"That, little sister, my ...... Since childhood, it has been a grandmother and a distant ...... Brother made it for me, they are gone, I have been rubbing food everywhere, and then I met your sister-in-law Yuyou, well, she made it, that ......"

Looking at the eldest brother's embarrassed expression, Ruoxue finally showed a smile on her face and said, "Then I won't embarrass the eldest brother, you can just ask the cafeteria aunt to put more beef on me...... After many years of vegetarianism, it's time for a change of taste! ”

"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll be back soon!"

Zheng Yong ran away with a cigarette, Ruoxue got up, washed up casually, and changed into a set of clothes.

It's still jeans and a light white shirt, but she's like a different person, as if she's lost something, and like she's found something, and even she doesn't know why.

Zheng Yong went and returned, carrying two bowls of beef noodles, and came back happily.

Seeing the chili peppers on the noodles, Ruoxue smiled.

Speaking of which, she used to be at home, she liked spicy food, but after arriving in Shanghai, she had to change her eating habits, and slowly, she ate lightly, and later, she has been a vegetarian.

She had forgotten the taste of chili peppers from her hometown.

Took a bowl of noodles, stirred Ruoxue evenly, and ate a piece of beef.

It was very spicy, very fragrant, her taste buds relaxed, and she seemed to see what the sprouts that would break through the soil under the layers of thick snow were, not wheat, nor millet, but the golden rape flowers that grew strongly.

It didn't take long for Ruoxue to finish the noodles in the bowl and even drink the soup cleanly.

This was more than 10 years ago.

"Brother, do you know how those people gamble? Tell me about it! ”

"You know what this is for, it's not a good thing!"

"Say, I want to know, why is it so charming, so many big bosses actually drove to this barren mountain and mountain to gamble!"

"Just a door panel, four corn seeds, a small saucer, simple and easy to understand!"

"Huh?"

"Isn't there a bump in the yellow corn seeds? Put the concave side, black with a pen, and then shake it on the saucer, open it out, if it is black on all sides, or yellow on all sides, and two yellow and two black, that is double, the other three black and one yellow, or three yellow and one black is single, the bet is single and double, put the door panel down, the left and right sides are tied up with two rubber bands, and then bet, one side is single, one side is double, buy how much to accompany how much......

There are also a variety of gambling methods, a kind of pile directly opened, if the single is opened, the money on the double is collected, the loss is on the single, the excess is collected, and the less is pasted by themselves...... There is another kind, the player sells a single or sells a double, and someone wants to buy it, then open it directly, such as selling a single out, opening a single, and the person who sells the order collects the money of the double, and the person who buys the single loses the money on the order, and vice versa! ”

"That's how Ye Ping made a bet?"

"Well, the gambling is very big, the minimum bet is a hundred, the locals can also bet, the most important thing is the people who came down from Ancheng, the least also brought tens of millions of cash down to gamble, there are tens of millions of wins and losses every day, and Ye Ping is responsible for pulling people, responsible for safety, naturally, no matter whether he wins or loses in every game, he has to draw one to two percent of the commission......"

"If you gamble like this, the money will go to Ye Pingping!"

"Yes, those bosses, usually play, it doesn't matter if you lose or win, it's good to have fun, but the locals are miserable, they are already poor, and they still want to make a profit, and in the end they are bankrupt!"

"No wonder you were so kind to him then!"

"Hey, I didn't expect him to resurrect again!"
