As soon as the fat man's words came out, a group of thugs rushed to me, and I had no choice but to resist twice, and finally was knocked down by a group of people after two punches, so I could only hold my head and wait for death.

Fortunately, the other party just beat people and didn't want my life, only beat me with a blue nose and swollen face, then stopped, pressed me to the ground, and searched all over my body.

After the search, I heard the fat man scold again: "Damn, this kid doesn't have a penny!" ”

"Brother Scar, what should I do?" A small thin man next to him asked.

The fat man scratched his chin and rolled his eyes, snorted: "Bring it in and lock it up first, damn it, that dog won't send the money back, so he will be buried alive!" ”

As soon as the fat man gave the order, several thugs immediately lifted me up and walked to a doorway in the hall, and as soon as I opened the door, the cold wind poured into it, and it turned out to be a large courtyard, and after passing through the courtyard were three main houses.

As soon as he entered the middle hall, the leader shouted: "Take this kid to the West House first, and the boss will clean him up when he comes back." ”

A few thugs answered, unlocked the Westinghouse door and threw me in, then closed the door with a 'bang' and locked it again.

I rolled up and scolded the street, with 10,000 grievances in my heart, I could have gotten on a long-distance bus and go straight to Gesoshan after a good night's sleep, why was I suddenly beaten?

I rubbed my red and swollen arms and looked around, the room was black and curtains drawn, the only light source was a dim fifteen-watt tungsten light bulb on the roof, which was covered with a thick layer of fly droppings, and I looked at the front and back windows, all covered with thumb-thick iron fences, almost like a cell with nowhere to live.

Before I could finish observing my surroundings, a low voice suddenly came from the fat -

"How much do you owe them?"

I was startled, followed the sound and looked into the corner of the kang, only to find that next to a dirty quilt, there was another person, a skinny middle-aged man, who looked closely, and his body was similar to me, with a blue nose and swollen face, a piece of purple, and no good place.

After reading it, I grinned and asked, "Uncle, you have to be beaten eight times a day, right?" ”

The middle-aged man raised his dry and swollen hand and shook his head, saying, "Huh? More than. ”

"What kind of hatred is this, the fight is so miserable, and the fight is still locked up after the fight......"

The middle-aged man sighed and replied: "Speaking of which, blame me for not being angry, good at gambling, and going to the casino if I have nothing to do, I used to be the number one person in the county, with a car and a house, a daughter-in-law and a land, and now, the bullshit is gone, and there is only a body of foreign debts left, just on the casino side, I owe tens of thousands." Later, they couldn't afford to smash the pot and sell iron, so they arrested me, beat me every day, and forced me to borrow money everywhere to pay off my debts, but the more and more profits were repaid, hey, I have been locked up here for several months, according to their beating method, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back alive......"

I was a little surprised when I heard this, so I asked, "This is the county seat, is there no royal law?" Such a blatant casino, no one cares? ”

"Who cares?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "The people who dare to do this business are hard, just say that this ticket person is a famous ruffian in the county, and they are all masters who dare to kill, it is said that there is a friendship with the above, and the black and white can speak, and the people above will turn a blind eye, can't control it, can't manage it......"

The more the middle-aged man spoke, the more sad he became, and when he said this, he couldn't stop sighing, shook his head and said: "Let's just talk about last month, in this room, right now, where you are standing, I watched them beat a bad gambler like me to death, do you say miserable?" ”

"Also, there is such a thing?"

Hearing this, I couldn't believe my ears, after all, I was already curious, so I wanted to ask, but I didn't know that I didn't wait to ask, and suddenly I heard a hurried footsteps outside, and then I heard someone shouting outside the door: "Quick, bring in!" Don't let anyone see it! ”

Hearing the voice, I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with this?" Could it be that someone has been caught again? ”

"No, it doesn't sound like it."

The middle-aged man listened with his ear against the wall, shook his head and said, "Hey, it seems that someone has been borrowed again......

"Loaned? What do you mean? Who borrowed the money? ”

When I asked, I only heard the sound outside getting closer and closer, and it seemed that a few people had run into the middle hall, and then I heard someone say, "Rescue, artificial respiration!" Come on! Don't die again! ”

Then the middle-aged man lowered his voice and said, "You don't know, in the recent period, this casino has not been very peaceful......

"What's wrong with it?" I asked.

The middle-aged man replied, "I'm afraid you're scared of this, I've been locked up here for months, and no one knows this better than me......"

Halfway through his words, the middle-aged man looked left and right for a while, and when he saw that no one came in, he approached me again and said, "This casino, it's haunted......"

"Haunted?"

I let out a 'chuckle' in my heart, and was instantly startled, and hurriedly urged the middle-aged man to continue to say-

"Don't be afraid, it's probably just more than half a month. This casino did not dare to open during the day, disguised as a private house, and only started to do business late at night. The people in the county who want to make money are familiar with the road, and they gather from all over the world in the middle of the night, not to mention how good the business is. But just over half a month ago, a strange thing suddenly happened in the casino. At that time, it was about four o'clock in the morning, and a gambler who had gambled all night and almost even exported his pants went out for breakfast, and wanted to come back to turn over the book after eating. How do you know that it hasn't been long since I went out, and something bad has happened......"

"Bad things? What's a bad thing? I asked.

The middle-aged man replied: "He walked along the small alley of the black hole, and walked out not far away, and suddenly heard someone behind him talking, asking him, 'Do you have money, lend me to turn over the book', there are many rotten gamblers in this alley, and some of them are so bad that they don't have money left to borrow money everywhere, and the gambler is angry because he lost money, and he is so angry that he turns around and scolds...... By the moonlight, there stood a man covered in blood at the base of the wall, no, it should not be said to be standing, but floating, the man had no legs, floating in mid-air, his face was pale and pale, and he was bleeding from seven holes. When the gambler saw it, he was so frightened that he screamed, and when he screamed, the thing pounced......"

"So, what then?" I asked.

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Then the gambler fainted, and was later found by the people sent out by the casino to patrol and sentry, and he was brought back." It stands to reason that gamblers' dead and live casinos should not be cared for, and they only recognize money when they open casinos, but this thing is different, this small casino is illegal, otherwise it will not be hidden in this small alley to open, if there is a sudden murder in the alley, the police will be lured, and the casino will not have to be held responsible. So the thugs of the casino saved people, and brought the gambler back to rescue him for a long time before he woke up, and after waking up, he panicked and said what he had encountered, which is what I just told you, and I listened to the gambler through the wall at that time......"

"Could it be that the gambler gambled for a night and was delirious and misread?" I asked.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said seriously: "When I heard the gambler say it, the whole casino didn't believe it, how did I expect that a few days later, another case came, and the words of the person after being rescued were exactly the same, they all suddenly met a man in the alley who wanted to 'borrow money', the man had no legs, he floated under the wall, and he bled through seven holes, not to mention how scary." After coming and going, the casino spread, saying that it was haunted, making people panic, and then the casino didn't want to pay attention to it, so someone had an accident, and the sentry thugs found out, and they quietly brought people in from behind for the first time to rescue, which inevitably affected the flow of customers and no longer dared to make a noise. Intermittently, there have been several cases of this kind of thing, but fortunately, most of the people who were scared were rescued, but there were also two who were not rescued, and they were scared to death directly. Knowing where the deceased's home is, the casino will send the body back and pay some money to settle the matter, I don't know, I just secretly find a place to deal with the body, when there is no such thing, anyway, most of them are bad gamblers who are separated from their wives, and they don't go home to fool around outside, and no one cares about one more or less......"
