This black gambling house often changes places, every time it is particularly hidden, only the people who come to play inform each other of the place, not only can they gamble money, but also gamble on food stamps to make up for tickets, which is related to the shortage of social materials at that time, and the gambling daughter-in-law is missing.

Lao Wu once described that the snitch Wen Sheng was not even a good person but not a bad person, and this sentence also applied to him, and it was not an exaggeration to put it on his own. And Lao Wu is not a good stubble from the face, not the kind of good person we usually understand, a little fierce when he doesn't speak, but he is definitely not a bad person, but the people he has been in contact with for so many years are all people in the market, and few of those people are good things, except for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, there will be no other things, and now this idle Lao Wu also let them hook up and play for money.

At first, many people scared away their brothers, but when they came back to look around, they found that there was nothing wrong, and they all came back to play one after another, and after a while, the room was full of people, and Wu Qi's ears hurt when he was shouting and drinking, and the most unbearable thing for him was that the house was full of smoke like fire, and he couldn't breathe at all, and his tears were smoked, and finally he couldn't help but run to the door to blow the wind to relieve it.

Lao Wu mainly brought Hu Da Bao to play, and he had to rely on Hu Da Bao to make a fortune. This is not to say that Hu Dabao is used to scare people and lose without giving money, but this guy is naturally lucky, and he can always win if he gambles on something.

Hu Dabao doesn't understand the rules of the thing they play, anyway, Lao Wu asked him to play how he wanted, and when the time came, he just relied on himself to touch the cards, and he won a lot of work this time, and those people looked at Hu Dabao a little strangely, thinking where did this person come out? Isn't this a deliberate disruption? But because of Lao Wu and Hu Da, the two brothers are a little scary. In addition, if you steal money and don't dare to make a noise, if you lose money, you will admit it, and no one will dare to make a big fuss. The two brothers were so happy to play, but they forgot about Wu Qi in the back of their heads.

There was a stove in the house, and there was an old man squatting by the stove, sixty years old, and his long sorcerers were almost thin. It just so happened that Wu Qi was sitting by the door blowing the wind. Listen to the big man in the room shouting: "You fool, how can you lose?" Did you touch shit when you squatted in the pit and wiped your butt before you came? As soon as this person's words came out, there was a burst of laughter, which sounded quite lively, but Wu Qi was not interested in gambling money, and smoking was even less touching, he was more bored at this time, so he saw the old man next to him.

Wu Qi turned his head and found that the little old man was also looking at him, but his eyes were a little vigilant, and Wu Qi naturally understood that it was because of this outfit. He smiled at the little old man. As a result, I heard the little old man ask, "You are Lao Wu's brother, right?" Where did you get this dress? ”

Wu Qi leaned against the door and turned around, rubbed his nose and said, "Uncle, this dress is my own, and I am indeed a soldier." ”

The old man thought for a moment before nodding his head and saying, "Oh, this, this soldier can't be idle, why don't you go to play inside?" ”

Wu Qi said that he didn't like to play, but he came with the two brothers, and besides, he didn't smoke and couldn't stand the smell of smoke inside. Wait for them to finish playing and then go back together.

After hearing this, the old man opened his mouth and showed his few teeth, and said with a smile: "Then you have to wait, they won't be finished until it gets dark." Why don't we chat? ”

It's also boring, the old man talked to Wu Qi, and after talking for a while, Wu Qi knew that the old man's name was Fang Jingsong, nicknamed Lao Songzi, and he was a local in Siping, and this house was his home, and there was no work in the field in winter, so he let those who played gambling come to his house to play. When the meal is served, he cooks for those people, and gives him some money after the bulk goods every day, which is regarded as rent.

Wu Qi didn't expect this honest old Songzi to dare to do such a thing, this was still a severe crackdown at that time, and it would be a big crime if he caught it. It would be even more sinful to take them in to gamble, but it seems that Lao Songzi is not afraid at all, and explained to Wu Qi that he knows someone above him and is related to him, so he is not afraid.

Wu Qi didn't ask much about this, he wasn't too interested, so he talked about other things. Lao Songzi knows a lot of things, from the warlord melee when he was a child, the bandits were rampant, and then to the invasion of the Kwantung Army in the future, he knows many unknown things, and he said a few things casually, which made Wu Qi's eyes light up.

Wu Qi hurried to Lao Songzi's side and said with a smile: "Old man, do you know any evil stories? It's better to be local, you tell me a few things! ”

Lao Songzi smiled, took out a cigarette pouch and pot from behind him, lit it by the stove and took a few puffs, squinted his eyes and said: "I know more about this kind of thing, you are asking the right person, let's not talk about this far away, I will tell you something close, talk about things around you, do you know that the hotel opened by Lao Wu is haunted?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Qi's face changed, and he didn't reply but nodded, meaning to know. The old pine didn't pay attention to Wu Qi's face, and after he started, he naturally said: "Oh, it was in the fourth year, and the Northeast let Little Japan occupy it for exactly the tenth year." At that time, life was very hard, and little Japan divided people into three classes in the Northeast, and their devils were first-class people, these second-class Koreans, and third-class people were our Han people. The rice and white noodles harvested by the dealer that grows on the land of our country can only be eaten by first-class people, if any of us steal it, it will be beheaded, this is not a joke, this is not a joke, but in those four years, the most difficult days of the people, this Siping came to a person, it was this person who caused many things later, and the haunting of the hotel had something to do with him.

At Sipingjie Station in 1941, even a soldier of the Japanese Kwantung Army caught a middle-aged man in an old-fashioned long coat from the train that had just arrived at the station.

After the fight, he was dragged away, it is said that he was dragged to interrogation, he is not a spy or an underground party or anything like that, but just an artist who runs the rivers and lakes, as for why he was interrogated, it has something to do with a war.

Said that a while ago in North China, the Japanese army and a group of suspected bandits of the armed group engaged in battle, but the well-equipped Japanese army did not take long, almost zero casualties to defeat that group of bandits, only to find out later that it was just a cottage, can have a few guns in hand, this is nothing, very normal, the Japanese army did not pay much attention, but when cleaning up the battlefield, accidentally found a person tied up by a rope, it was very strange at the time, after a few simple Chinese questions, They brought the man back to an officer's building in the city they had just occupied.

There is an interpreter here, and after the exchange, I learned that this person is not the person from the cottage, but a passerby who was arrested by the people of the cottage, and was about to kill him, and the two groups of people met, but the people of the cottage died and ran away, and he was still in the same place, so he still let the Japanese save him once.

But then he turned out some strange things from the package that this person carried casually, it was a wooden box and some metal ornaments, which was incomprehensible, and then I learned that this person's name was Zhu Zhi, and he was an artist who walked the rivers and lakes, and he wanted to go west because of the war.

Originally, Zhu Zhi was useless, but when he learned that he would play tricks, that is, tricks or something, because some didn't believe it, he let Zhu Zhi perform a few small tricks in front of them, which seemed to be good and the technique was very fast, at that time, there was a Japanese Shao Zuo who wanted Zhu Zhi to perform in their evening celebration party, saying that he would give him money when the performance was over, and Zhu Zhi agreed without refusing.

Every time the Japanese army captured the next major city, they would hold a celebration party in the city, just to boost morale, and there was usually an entertainment program, all of which were geisha dances and the like, and there were also performances of opera by this famous Chinese artist. But the soldiers below are not too interested in understanding the opera, but they didn't expect that now they actually got a traditional trick artist to perform the show, this is better, you don't need to listen to it to understand the light and lively.

Zhu Zhi's appearance is relatively delicate, tall, thin, thin arms and legs, but a pair of eyes are godless, at first glance I feel that this person is a little weird, but something is wrong, but this soldier is basically this virtue, so it is not strange.

At that time, there was a teahouse in the city that used to make sounds, and this show was performed in this teahouse at that time, because I wished this a new show, so I left it for the finale, which made the eyes of the soldiers who were originally sleepy suddenly light up.

Zhu Zhi was still in that long coat, carrying a box in his hand, and after walking to the middle position, he took out a few things from the box and performed those very common small tricks, but it seemed to be nervous, basically all of them were smashed, all kinds of revealing stuffing, so that the laughter below kept laughing, but Zhu Zhi didn't pay much attention to it, just performed on his own, and sometimes deliberately made some strange movements in his hands.

I don't know what's going on, the laughter is getting smaller and smaller, and then I saw Zhu Zhi pick up a long black chopstick, pinch one end with his fingers and put it up, just put it away after standing it up for a long time, the people behind are confused, they don't know what's wrong, is this also a show?

While the people underground were whispering, a soldier in the front row whispered in Japanese: "The chopsticks twisted in a circle." Just after this sentence was finished, he suddenly saw Zhu Zhi showing a very strange expression, not a smile but a very blank look, but his eyes were empty and abnormal, suddenly Zhu Zhi raised his hand, and his empty hand seemed to be holding something, and the soldiers in the first three rows closest to him froze and did not move, Zhu Zhi's hand was slowly turning in one direction, and the atmosphere of the scene suddenly froze, and then an extremely terrifying thing happened.
