Chapter 46: Feet of Mud
A noisy space filled with the smell of tobacco and alcohol.
A bright light that illuminates a wide variety of card suits.
"To follow or not to follow? A shirtless man urged.
Chen Jian took the card in his hand, and his expression was extremely hesitant.
He bets on [Fraudulent Golden Flower], this gambling method is from south to north in the country, and almost no one knows it.
The leopard is the largest, followed by a straight flush, followed by a flush, a straight, and a pair.
This card is not only a bet on size, but also a bet on psychology.
Chen Jian had 10,000 chips on the table before, but now he has only lost 400 yuan.
At this point, his hand is a "pair of kings".
When you don't have a lot of chips, it's actually embarrassing to get this kind of card.
For the king, it looks like the card is not big, but it is not small either. The odds of getting such a card are not high.
As soon as he was urged, Chen Jian became more and more hesitant and panicked.
"If you don't follow, if you don't follow, you will lose your cards, think about it, think about it, think about it, can you conjure a flower?" the shirtless man urged Chen Jian and said impatiently.
Chen Jian looked at this man, and in the last game, this man was also urging like this.
He panicked, and finally lost all the cards of the "3, 4, 5" straights.
But in the end, the man was an "A, 7, 9" card and successfully stole the chicken.
This time, listen to the same tone of voice from the other party.
Chen Jian felt that the other party was stealing chickens again, but the cards in his hand had changed from the straight in the previous hand to a pair.
'Dat, death is death, follow. ’
As soon as Chen Jian gritted his teeth, he threw the last 400 yuan in front of him.
When the shirtless man saw it, he smiled: "I'm waiting for you to follow." ”
After saying that, he threw his cards on the table, but it was a straight of "9, 10, J".
"What card do you have, if you are bigger than me, then I will admit it. The shirtless man laughed.
When Chen Jian saw the opponent's cards, the hope in his heart was instantly wiped out.
He sat down in a daze, looking at the empty table, and felt like he had become a walking corpse.
'What shouldn't be followed, shouldn't be followed, 400 pieces if left for the next hand, it is estimated that you can get a better card and turn it over. ’
Chen Jian thought silently in his heart.
Before I knew it, my eyes were red.
"Is there any money? ”
"Who said I didn't, you wait. ”
Chen Jian gritted his teeth, then stood up and walked into an office in the underground casino.
In this office, there is a bald man with big shoulders and a round waist, who is hugging a woman and kissing.
Seeing Chen Jian coming in, he smiled: "Lost again?"
"Brother dog, lend me some more. Chen Jian said with a smile.
"Chen Jian, you also know that Brother Dog is a kind person, every time you want to borrow money, I borrow it. But this borrowing money, it is not difficult to borrow and repay. But how much have you borrowed?
The bald man let go of the woman in his arms and took out a ledger.
Read it to Chen Jian one by one: "The day before yesterday, I borrowed 20,000 yuan, yesterday I borrowed 30,000 yuan, and today I borrowed 10,000 yuan." This adds up to a total of 60,000 yuan. It's time to pay it back, Chen Jian. ”
"Borrow another 10,000 yuan, as long as I turn over the book, I will definitely pay it back to you, Brother Dog. You also know that I won't default on it. Chen Jian said.
"Chen Jian, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, it's just that you owe a lot. Speaking of which, it's actually time to return the first one today. ”
"This ...... I don't have any money now, Brother Dog, lend me a little more, and I will definitely be able to turn it over. ”
"Chen Jian, you should also know the rules here, if you don't pay back the borrowed money, you will have to chop your hands. ”
"I ...... That...... Then I won't borrow it, I'll ...... I'm going to find a way to make sure I get the money back. ”
"Tomorrow, just one day, you have to pay it back. ”
"Oh, one day, this ...... One day is too short, and this is at least a week, how about it?" Chen Jian discussed.
"Okay for a week, beyond the specified time, 10,000 yuan a day interest. You can delay even a month. Brother Dog said with a smile.
"......" Chen Jian's face suddenly turned to ashes: "Brother dog, one day is really too short, I ...... I just stole 100,000 yuan from my dad before, and it's not easy to do it lately. ”
"I don't care about this, the IOU is clearly written, if you don't pay it back, I'll go to your dad and ask him to pay it back. Brother Dog said.
Chen Jian's face turned pale all of a sudden, if his father knew about this matter, he would have to be killed.
Suddenly, his heart welled up with infinite remorse.
Gambling is really like a quagmire, and once you step in, it's really hard to get out.
He has also warned himself countless times, and he himself understands the truth.
But the pleasure of winning and losing every time forced him to ignore his own warnings again and again.
Every time I think, I'll only play one hand, and I'll leave if I win a big one.
But often, the more I lose, the more I lose, and after losing more, I think I will play a few more games, and I will leave when I turn over.
In this way, it snowballed, losing more and more money, and borrowing more and more.
"Don't, Brother Dog, be accommodating, if you tell my father, he will definitely beat me to death. Please give me a little more time, and I'll pay it back. ”
Chen Jian was flustered and knelt down, "Brother Dog, please, don't ...... Don't tell my dad. ”
The bald dog brother smiled slightly: "If you don't want me to tell your father, it's okay, but you have to help me do something." ”
"Do what?"
"The casino business has been a little bad recently, you bring some people here, don't you still have a cousin, what is your name Chen Jing?" You bring him in a few games, and if you can bring him, then I'll promise you a little more time. ”
"Chen Jing, is this ...... He...... I'm not very good at calling him, my family has had a little conflict with his family recently, and I'm embarrassed to call him. ”
"Hehe, then pay it back tomorrow. If you can't pay it back, then you only have two choices, the first option is to chop your hands, and the second option is for me to personally ask your father to repay the money. Brother Dog flipped through the ledger and said lightly.
Brother Dog is not the owner of the casino, he is just a good person who "borrows money".
The IOUs he wrote here in black and white are all valid, and even if they are put on the surface, no one can afford to pay for them.
"Brother Dog......"
"Let's get out. ”
"Don't, Brother Dog, I'm ...... I'll try, I'll try, I'll try to bring Chen Jing here. ”
"That's right, the one who knows the times is Junjie, and bringing him here will have no effect on you. And there's a benefit, so why not?"
"That'...... If I bring him here, how long will Brother Dog be able to spare me?"
"A week at most. ”
"A week?"
"The premise is that you succeed in bringing him, and if you can't bring him, then don't talk about it. Everything came as it was written on the IOU. ”
"I ...... I see, I'm ...... Here it goes. ”
