Chapter 3: For Food
"You say I'm listening!"
Yaoyang stopped, turned around, and sat down directly without disgust with the dirty on the ground, and put the iron box on the ground.
"Have you ever eaten a tiger?"
The old man's tone was flat, but there was a faint hint of undoubted majesty, which put great pressure on people and made people want to reply quickly.
"Nope"
"Have you ever eaten a brown bear?"
"Neither!"
"You've always eaten sharks, haven't you?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β
"I'm just a little prison guard, I haven't seen what you said, let alone eating alive."
Long Si's words made Yaoyang a little unsure how to take it, what is this?
The myth of the rice man began to become popular in the 80s? What does it have to do with dry rice?
"Did I say I've eaten your letter?"
The old man smiled slightly and said:
"Faith! Letter! Letter! You can say whatever your old man says!. β
"Then do you believe that I used to be very developed?"
"I believe it! And I will also develop in the future"
The old man poured cold water on the man and said with a light smile:
"Young man, you are so ashamed! You're just a little prison guard now, what should you do? β
"Look at it!"
In fact, Lei Yaoyang didn't think about it at all...... But it's not a lie, I didn't expect it to be true, after all, I played on the spot, and my brain couldn't turn around.
Yaoyang was deflated, and then immediately asked:
"So what does it have to do with dry rice!"
"Because I'm too developed."
The old man gave a strange answer.
Without waiting for Yaoyang to ask, the old man continued:
"You're from the mainland, so have you heard of the name "Dragon Four"? β
"Nope."
Yaoyang's pupils shrank, and he was waiting for this sentence, he had not only heard of Long Si but also heard of a very dragging Vietnamese called Long Wu, whose main bodyguard and sideline business were film companies.
The small abnormality of the bright sun was clearly seen by Long Si.
"It doesn't matter if I haven't heard of it, I still have a long-ago name, the Chinese God of Gamblers!"
The old man sighed deeply, and his tone began to look lonely.
"Are you the Chinese God of Gamblers? How is this possible! β
Bright Sun, shouted in disbelief.
"I'm Elizabeth's brother-in-law!"
"How could it not be? A man who is dying, why should he make up such a lie to deceive you, it will not do me any good. β
The old man, or rather, Long Si, spoke calmly.
"Then you ......"
Long Si's eyes flashed with reminiscence, and he had already begun to speak:
"In my life, I have never lost, but I have never met anyone."
"In terms of dry rice, there are those that fly in the sky and run on the ground, and there are those in the water, as long as there is something for sale, I have eaten it, what a palace chef or a handsome private dish, in the end, this ordinary nest is the most fragrant!"
Gambling and Dry Rice Yaoyang couldn't figure out where the connection between them was, but it made so much sense from Long Si's mouth.
One old and one young, sitting facing each other.
One person speaks without hurry, and one listens quietly.
"Fifty years ago, I was successful in gambling, but I was framed for selling tobacco for 10 yuan, and I was imprisoned for eight years."
"Eight years later, I set foot in the rivers and lakes again, and on the train to Shiliyangchang, I won the masters of a thousand doors and became brothers of the opposite sex with them."
"Stepping into the Ten Mile Ocean, seven days, I only took seven days to win all the casinos in the Ten Mile Ocean Field and control the entire gambling industry."
"At that time, no matter whether it was a person in the gambling world, or a person of three religions and nine streams, who didn't say a word of service, even the three tycoons, Shen Yifu, and White Clam all regarded me as a guest, but when it came to betting on me, I was the emperor of the ten-mile foreign field."
Speaking of which, Ryusi seemed to think of the past scenery, but surprisingly he had no pride or regret, just unexpectedly calm, like water.
Flowing slowly...
The story is very clichΓ©, Lei Yaoyang has watched a TV series several times, and even the one that appears in the King of a Thousand Kings is not called gambling, it is magic.
But when all this happened in reality, the gambling god Long Si became a down-and-out checkmate old man and appeared in front of Lei Yaoyang's eyes.
Lei Yaoyang had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It took a while for the sun to digest it
"And then?"
Ryusi didn't say anything more, just sighed.
The past, glory and wealth, brotherhood......... Fame, fortune, and so on are all in this breath.
Oh, yes! And then?
Needless to say?
You don't have to listen, you can see with your eyes.
Isn't the family ruined and half a life imprisonment the story of the future of Dragon Four?
It's exactly the same as the plot of TV, so even if it's a world of integration, everyone can't escape the so-called fate?
Will you be struck by lightning in the end?
And then give Totonan a knife to divide the body?
At this moment, Lei Yaoyang, who was in shock, was silent for a long time, but Long Si didn't feel abnormal, but thought that this nice kid in front of him was shocked by his story.
In fact, the sun is just fighting against his own heart.
What fate? What providence?
He must cover the sky with one hand!
"Hahaha......"
Something strange happened, Long Si and Lei Yaoyang actually laughed together.
Lei Yaoyang smiled because his fate had been broken since he crossed over.
Long Sixiao said that no matter what, he still won in the end, and it was not a victory to survive all the pairs?
Looking at the crippled Long Si in front of him, like Lei Yaoyang, the Thunder Tiger, he has the same paranoid desire for victory, and does whatever he wants......
If the Battle of the Burning Continent hadn't broken out, would the ending of Yaoyang be the same as him?
Long Si's later years can be described as extremely depressed, and his fate in the original book is not much better or even worse.
His character like Long Si is destined to have no good ending, and he has to change!
But after the change?
Is Lei Yaoyang still Lei Yaoyang?
But you can't be extremely freewheeling, you can't be outside the circle, you can't ...... So what's the point of being alive?
"Boy, tell you that if you want to achieve great things in this world, you need three things, the first banknote, the second banknote, and the third banknote."
"My health is getting worse and worse now, and it's obvious that I'm running out of oil when I feel it, but I don't want to lose my skills. Boy, let me ask you, would you like to learn gambling from me? β
"Gambling?"
Lei Yaoyang has been busy for more than a month, and this is what he has been waiting for.
"You're willing to teach me, why?"
"First, you've been sending me food for a month, and I see it in my eyes every time you take care of me, so you can be regarded as kind to me, I am a man, and I will repay my kindness."
"Second, you're ambitious!"
The reason for Dragon Four is surprisingly simple, just like when you walk to the side of the road and meet a beggar, he says that you are a peerless wizard who practices martial arts, as long as you spend ten yuan to descend the dragon, eighteen palms, nine yin true scriptures, or something, take them all home.
The most important thing is that these cheats are still true.
"I've been here for 50 years, I've been thinking about it for 50 years, and now it's really clear that the real highest level of gambling is to kill them all, and the six relatives don't recognize it."
"What kind of person is invincible, it is nonsense for the predecessors to fool the future children, in order to give myself a chance to turn the tables, if I kill every opponent back then...... Hey, forget it, you just understand. β
Speaking of this, Long Si seemed to think of something again, his tone turned low, he paused slightly, and said:
"Would you like to learn?"
Lei Yaoyang actually doesn't believe in any of Long Si's so-called reasons, let alone such an old Jianghu, who will accept himself as a disciple for some reasons that are not reasons.
Just as Long Si treats a kid who suddenly appears to him and summarizes it as a coincidence, he also doesn't believe a word.
However, one is willing to teach and the other is willing to learn, even if they have their own ghosts, the matter will be done.
Lei Yaoyang stood up and bowed to Long Si:
"In the future, I will ask the master to take care of me."
"Hahahaha."
The four dragons were overjoyed, and laughter resounded in the dark room again.
Lei Yaoyang is not a stupid person, and immediately changed his words and called the master:
"Master, aren't you afraid of seeing the wrong person again?"
"My life is almost gone, even if I misread you, what is the loss?"
Long Si didn't care about replying, giving people a feeling of being extremely free.
Yaoyang's mind spun extremely fast, and blurted out:
"What if I don't use it after I learn to gamble?"
"You won't use it, as long as you are ambitious, one day, you will definitely use it. And life is the biggest gamble, and the way of gambling doesn't have to be used at the table, maybe you can use it at ordinary times. β
"It's like eating, let me tell you that people live to eat, as for what to eat? How much to eat? Born predestined? Gambling is just a means of eating..."
Long Si's words are relaxed, and the deep meaning in his words is directly to the hearts of the people.
At this moment, Lei Yaoyang also somewhat understood Long Si's thoughts.
This person who has won and fought all his life, even after death, wants to fight with others. He has been held here for decades and may have spoken to many prison guards.
But how could ordinary prison guards pay attention to him?
I think the results of every chat are not satisfactory to him.
Ambition, desire.
This is the last thing I lack.
In addition, Long Si knew that his fate was not long in coming, so he simply took a gamble and chose to teach gambling skills by himself.
He must have hoped that one day, he would make a name for himself as his disciple and let his legend spread again......
After apprenticeship with Long Si, Lei Yaoyang's time in the room also reached the limit, and the two discussed a few words to formally study from tomorrow, and Lei Yaoyang walked out of the cell with an empty iron lunch box.
Walking out of Long Si's exclusive cell, it was like walking out of the endless darkness, the sun was shining outside, and the month's hard work finally paid off, and Lei Yaoyang smiled happily like a big boy.
The top of the police uniform was deliberately untied by Yaoyang, which gave people a flamboyant impression.
A combination full of contradictions!
A guy who coexists with the sun and the dark.
I believe that everyone who sees him will be the first impression.
Walking out of the layers of single cells, Lei Yaoyang came to the periphery.
Standing here at this moment was a man in his mid-fifties, also dressed in prison guard clothes, walking around with an anxious face.
Seeing Lei Yaoyang come out, he immediately said unhappily:
"Hou Shengzi, why did it take so long to deliver food, and you were sleeping in it? Lazy, huh? β
A trace of almost imperceptible disgust flashed in Lei Yaoyang's eyes, and he smiled on the surface:
"Big guy, how dare I! It's just that you also know the situation of the old man inside, his body seems to be dying, so he slowed down. ββ
Bah......! It's really unlucky, no wonder I bet on horses and lose every day this month, and I come every day to deliver food to a dying person, can I not be unlucky. β
Uncle Biao took a few sips, his face full of gloom, but he didn't have the slightest doubt.
As he spoke, he glanced at it again and continued:
"You, you have a grudge against me in your last life, right, you met at the gambling table after work, and you follow you all day at work, hey, when is this day a head......!"
Uncle Biao, Zhou Huabiao, the old prison guard in Stanley.
He has been a prison guard for more than ten years, and he has already regarded this job as a mess, getting by, and being unmotivated.
So whether it is the deadly scissors in Weilong is still to be verified.
Going to work every day and gambling after work is almost Uncle Biao's life.
According to the grapevine, this Uncle Biao was once at the gambling table and was won 50,000 yuan by a young man at a time.
Since then, it has not been very friendly to young people.
Since Lei Yaoyang came to Stanley, he has followed this Uncle Biao every day, and he has not learned anything else, what gossip about the gossip in the prison, but he has listened to it for a long time.
Wu Shihao's news is right to find him.
However, Lei Yaoyang is not in a hurry, now he has more important things than killing Wu Shihao.
"What are you doing standing stupidly, you haven't been in this place enough? Let's go! β
After chattering for a while, Uncle Biao glanced at Lei Yaoyang angrily and signaled to leave.
After a month of getting along, Lei Yaoyang was already accustomed to this colleague's style, kept silent, and followed him out.
After all, how high he jumped now!
How bad it is destined to fall in the future!
Along the way, Uncle Biao's mouth was not idle, and he was still chattering:
"I heard from above, this place will be demolished soon, and the independent heavy prison barn will not need so much at all, and there is no small black house to work!"
"I don't know who the old man in it is, who is this offended, locked up in this ghost place, one pass is fifty years, longer than my entry time."
"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it for two days, there would be no one, it would be worse than death!"
ββ¦β¦β
Listening to his chatter, Yaoyang didn't say a word, and followed silently, calculating in his heart the last bit of value of squeezing Long Si.
Leaving the northernmost area of the Stanley Prison, the two soon arrived in the heart of the prison.
Here, it's a huge playground. Standing high on the playground, you can see everything in Stanley Prison.
There are 800 individual cells, 100 large cells, and a prison hospital with 50 beds and 6 isolation single rooms.
In addition, printing, laundry and other factories, kitchens, staff dormitories, etc., supporting facilities are quite complete.
Someone once said that if there was one place in Hong Kong Zong that could be self-sufficient, it would be Stanley Prison.
In the future, some people have said that the young people of Hong Kong Comprehensive City want to have a better way out in the future, and they are also in Stanley.
After all, you don't need rent, food, and housing, and salary......
On the playground at the moment, many prisoners are letting off steam.
They wore exactly the same prison uniforms and did what they liked.
Some are gathered around a small wooden table and are playing a unique table chess game in prison.
There are also some sneaky people, gathered in groups of three or five, not knowing what they are discussing.
As prison guards, as long as these prisoners do not have special actions, they are still particularly free to let off time.
"Uncle Biao, did you win yesterday in your bet on horses? My wealth is powerful enough, right? β
"Win Nima's size, the gun is on the instep! Rich and powerful are more pitted than dragon heads and rats. β
"Uncle Biao, horses have stumbled, people have missed, I have also been deceived. Next time, next time I will definitely give you an ironclad money-making news......"
"Uncle Biao, you still believe him, how much have you lost, listening to my purchase of snow without a trace is the last word!"
ββ¦β¦β
Uncle Biao has been in this prison for decades, and I don't know if his popularity is good, but it can be seen from the fact that he has not had a director for more than ten years.
So the prisoners dared to ridicule him.
In comparison, Lei Yaoyang is more like a bodyguard, transparent person, expressionless, and no one pays attention to him.
"Hou Shengzi, let's go, go back to rest early, and watch this group of bastards work in the afternoon."
Uncle Biao chatted with the prisoner casually, said hello, and left the playground with Lei Yaoyang and went back to the dormitory to rest.
The work of the prison guards is actually extremely hard, and they have to stay in the prison five days a week, eating and living in the dormitory.
Only on weekends, there are two days off to get out of here.
Lei Yaoyang, as a newcomer, didn't give the boss a few red envelopes, so he was not treated well at all.
The work assigned to him is also the most tiring and dangerous.
Like a normal prison guard, stay in the playground and walk around, watching these inmates have fun, even when the work is over.
Lei Yaoyang's work is much heavier.
During the meal, from the first day he came to Stanley, he was specially responsible for delivering food for Long Si.
In normal times, patrols, laundry guards, and playground guards are easy jobs.
But he is also happy to do so, after all, only in this way can he quickly find out this Stanley Prison that is mixed with filth and filth.
Yaoyang was in charge of being led by Uncle Biao, watching the prisoners go to the fields to work, or go down to the fields, or knock stones.
At night, every other day, there is also a vigil outside the Okura.
To put it bluntly, everyone else is 996, and Yaoyang is almost 12127.
Some people may say, they are all guards, what is the difference?
In fact, it is not the case, the knowledge inside is big, and the guards are also three, six, nine, and so on.
The first-class guard, the warden of Stanley, moved his mouth and moved without signing a month's work.
Second-class guard, deputy warden of Stanley, he undoubtedly moved his legs.
Walking back and forth in the prison twice a day, showing off his majesty, being praised by others, and then making specific arrangements for some affairs, that is also done.
However, compared to the prison warden, the deputy prison director is not easy to do.
The credit is due to the good leadership of the prison director, and the punishment is due to the deputy prison director's poor behavior.
According to the grapevine, the post of deputy warden of Stanley is the most ordinary transfer.
Nine out of ten left with a huge black cauldron on their backs, and they didn't get a good deal.
The remaining one was even more unlucky, offended the prisoner and was killed outside.
Next, the third-class guard, that is, the person who manages the prison guards in the prison is commonly known as the section chief level, that is, the person who does practical things in the prison.
Next up is the fourth-class old fritters.
These people have one thing in common: they can make sycophants, they can please their superiors, and they know Stanley inside out.
With these to rely on, they can choose to compete for light jobs, such as watching inmates entertain themselves or watching inmates work in laundry factories......
These are the easiest jobs, and the key is that there are no other responsibilities involved!
However, most of them are prepared to eat and wait for death to get paid.
The last class of guards is undoubtedly left with nothing like Uncle Biao and newcomers like Yaoyang.
Watching the prisoners work in the field, it is possible to encounter the escape of prisoners.
Moreover, the tools used in the field are all guys who can be used as "murder weapons", and the prisoners take one by the way, or fight on the spot, and if something happens, the responsibility is the guard.
Besides, the environment in the wild is harsh, and it is no different from a construction site.
The sun is blowing in the summer, the north wind is blowing in the winter, the prisoners are tired and half dead, and the prison guards are not much better.
After all, he came to do big things, and he chose to keep a low profile when he first arrived in Yaoyang.
Otherwise, one of them will dare to be powerful and blessed on his head.........
Learn good manners from God!
