Chapter Seventy-Two: The Casino
In Maple Grove Town, most of the people who play mahjong are women, and most of the people who play pai gow are men. But as soon as Tang Shan entered the door, he heard a woman's voice, and there was more than one.
This greatly increased Tangshan's interest. Quickly pulled away the two guys who were watching with their necks stretched out, and squeezed in through the cracks. The two guys next to him were pulled and squeezed by Tang Shan, and seemed to be very unhappy, so they turned their heads and glared at Tang Shan fiercely. Not to be outdone, Tang Shan also glared back.
The two guys on the left and right seemed to be frightened by Tang Shan, and they all retracted their gaze and returned to the gaming table again.
Tang Shan followed the woman's voice and looked over, and was suddenly disappointed.
There really are two women. One of them sat at the gate of heaven, his face was particularly eye-catching, completely like a persimmon that had accidentally fallen to the ground, and all his organs were scattered; The neck is at the level of the chin, and a pair of large hands are like two pieces of pine.
The complexion is like that of African descent, and it can't turn white even if it is a jar of powder, and its cheeks are covered with pimples or other sores that I don't know if it's pimples or something, anyway, the whole thing looks very hot.
Tang Shan kept shaking his head and sighing in his heart, this black girl really doesn't look like a woman, if she gets a short haircut, ignores the two big balls on her chest, and gives her a spear, it will be Zhang Fei; Stuffed her with a pair of plate axes, it was Li Kui.
No matter how picky a man is, he has to lose seven points first.
The other woman stood next to the black girl and seemed to be the black girl's entourage. This woman is not too dark, and there are red clouds on her cheeks, but her facial features are also very untidy, her eyes are narrowed into a slit, her nose is flattened, and her chin is stretched forward. This kind of appearance, the people of the rivers and lakes call it "the earth covers the sky".
Tang Shan looked down, his neck was slender, it seemed to be not bad, and he could actually see his collarbone; But since then, most of the figures below are buried in the shadow of the black girl, and I don't know whether it is good or bad.
Tang Shan thought to himself, his face was so unbearable, and his figure was not much better. But on the current occasion, it is either a man covered in stinky sweat, or a black girl like an iron pot, that is, this woman can still be eyed. Because she at least looks like a woman.
So as soon as Tang Shan entered the scene, he tried to squeeze out a smiling face and threw it over, but the other party was like a dead fish and was not moved at all.
Tang Shan was bored, so he had to withdraw his gaze and look at the cards.
A guy with a flirtatious eversion is doing the banking. When Tang Shan set his eyes on the center of the table, it happened to open the treasure and the dealer took it all. Picking his teeth and throwing down the cards, his hands are like Zhu Bajie's nine-tooth nail rake, and he keeps holding money in front of him.
The black girl is quite unhappy, with a mouth, a voice stronger than the body, and extremely penetrating:
"! Eat three handfuls in a row, and be careful when you go out and thunder. ”
The guy who made the bank smiled, and the two teeth on the left and right were even more terrifying, like a vampire in a horror movie, and laughed weirdly:
"The sky thunders and doesn't let you 'groove'."
Because he won the money, his tone was not only not angry, but also showed a sense of pride. A group of onlookers laughed. Only Tang Shan was the only one who didn't laugh.
The laughter was a little flat, and the guy sitting at the door answered smartly:
"Don't worry, the division is too short of a guy, and I can't 'groove' you, you can only thunder and crack from the sky. Of course, if you're not a picky eater, you can 'groove' her in reverse. ”
This is also a realistic style of expression, but the second half of the sentence is too harsh. The black girl went crazy on the spot, threw the two cards on the table, and scolded back with hatred:
"'Groove' your mother, who do you think you are? As far as you look like a bird, it's better than a wilted cucumber at the head of the old lady's bed. ”
This is probably the most profound vulgar word, and the layman simply does not understand it. But among all the villains present, none of them were laymen, and apparently they all understood, and there was another burst of laughter.
Tang Shan still didn't laugh, and noticed that those vulgar guys all called black girls "Shitai", I don't know what the reason is. After thinking about it, I was relieved, her posture was only enough to go to any mountain to become a monk and be a character like an exterminator.
The problem is that nuns have never been heard of gambling on the table. And he also brought an entourage.
The guy sitting at the door was about thirty years old, dry and thin, with only a wrinkled old skin on his face, high cheekbones, and deep-set eye sockets, which did look a bit like a wilted cucumber. But the black girl scolded him for not being as good as the wilted cucumber at his bedside, which obviously hurt his self-esteem.
The wilted cucumber's eyes were round, and the old skins on both sides of his nose were trying to pull together, obviously angry. He was just about to open his mouth to scold back, but the fat man sitting at the lower door saw this and hurriedly played a round:
"Are you here to gamble, or are you here to fight? Shuffle and shuffle. ”
So everyone put aside the hatred for the time being and continued to shuffle the cards. Tang Shan looked around, and threw a sneer at the white girl next to the black girl, but the other party still looked loyal and unyielding, and didn't pay attention to him at all.
Tang Shan felt that there was nothing to see, so he turned around and squeezed out of the circle. As soon as he poked his head out of the crowd and took a breath, Chen Yusheng pulled him from the side and asked:
"How much money did you bring?"
Tang Shan replied blankly:
"I've got only eight hundred dollars on me."
Chen Yusheng:
"Give it to me. I'll pay you back. ”
While taking out the money, Tang Shan complained:
"Damn, just two rounds of the dealer all-for-all, you bet? How much did you lose? ”
Chen Yusheng answered the question:
"I don't have a lot of money."
With that, he squeezed into the crowd again. Tang Shan suddenly felt a little urinating, so he walked towards the bathroom under the stairs. The shuffle behind him has been completed, and he began to bet again, and the sound of throwing money came and went. Tang Shan thought while peeing:
"Fuck, the money at the table is like scrap paper."
Coming out of the bathroom, this game had already been opened, Tang Shan didn't know what the outcome was on the table, and raised his eyes to see Chen Yusheng walking in his direction.
Tang Shan greeted him and asked:
"How? Eat or lose? ”
Chen Yusheng spread his hands:
"Eaten again. I don't believe it's so unlucky. Isn't it said that the love scene is frustrated and the casino is proud? I haven't touched a woman lately. ”
Tang Shan sneered disdainfully:
"If you don't believe in people's words and believe in nonsense, how can gambling have such a bullshit law?"
After speaking, he was about to get closer to the gambling table again, when he suddenly saw that Chen Yusheng did not enter the bathroom, raised his foot and walked up the stairs, was taken aback, grabbed his arm and asked:
"Damn, why are you going? It can't be that you want to borrow money and gamble, right? That's usury. ”
Chen Yusheng wanted to speak and stopped, and then sneered for a while:
"You can't just come here for a few minutes and then go home, right? Feel free to borrow a little less and play for a while. After the bad luck just now, there will definitely be good luck next. ”
Tang Shan thought to himself, Chen Yusheng usually plays cards occasionally, but he is not a bad gambler, and today's performance is a bit surprising. He must be dissuaded, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable if he falls into it.
Tang Shan asked:
"Is it because you haven't paid off the money for your mother's hospitalization last time? Then you shouldn't fucking pin your hopes on the table. ”
Chen Yusheng's face was gloomy, and he shook off Tang Shan's hand impatiently, and said insincerely:
"No, that, you leave me alone."
Of course, Tang Shan couldn't ignore it, and once again reached out and dragged Chen Yusheng down the stairs, and said angrily:
"You've got water in your head? If we don't have money, we'll find something else. ”
Chen Yusheng's face was suddenly full of sadness, and he shouted:
"What's the other way?"
Tang Shan thought to himself, it seems that this guy is really desperate for money, and he has had less contact with him recently, but he didn't expect him to be under so much financial pressure. Presumably the last time his mother was hospitalized, the money spent was not a small amount.
Tang Shan thought again, blaming himself for his numbness and indifference, and he didn't feel the seriousness of the matter in the hospital at the beginning. This time, he made up his mind that he must not let Chen Yusheng fall into it. Usury and gambling, once you get involved, are a bottomless pit.
Tang Shan walked up a staircase, stopped in front of Chen Yusheng, and sighed:
"Since I can't help it. So, let me go up. ”
Chen Yusheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, when the mobile phone rang in his pocket, he took it out and took a look, and hurriedly walked to the corner to answer the phone in a low voice. He waved his hand to Tang Shan as he spoke, and he didn't know whether he agreed with Tang Shan's suggestion or stopped Tang Shan's approach.
Tang Shan's idea is very simple, Chen Yusheng has an old lady to take care of, and he can't touch Zhou Weiliang's casino loan shark, and he is alone, barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, what's the big deal to run and fuck. Moreover, getting close to Zhou Weiliang was also his original purpose of coming here.
Tang Shan turned and went upstairs.
Bird Feather, who had been watching coldly at the gambling table, remembered Brother Liang's instructions to find a way to lead Tang Shan upstairs to see Brother Liang, but what he didn't expect was that his method had not yet come out, but Tang Shan went up by himself for some reason.
He hurriedly secretly dialed the phone to the good brother upstairs:
"Brother Liang, that kid is here."
I didn't say if it was me who brought him up, or if he came uninvited. Bird feathers have such a bad habit, when they show merit or report things to their good brothers, they always like to be vague.
Brother Liang put down the phone and minimized the sound of the TV. As soon as he turned his head, Tang Shan had already arrived at the door. Brother Liang beckoned:
"Come in."
Tang Shan was taken aback, this guy really knew himself, and he greeted him like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. He felt a little empty in his heart, and hesitantly walked in.
Tang Shan finally met Teacher Zhou at close range, the current boss of Fenglin Town, and the enemy Zhou Papi that he has never forgotten for more than ten years.
The other party was sitting on a sofa, and on the coffee table in front of him was a plate of peanuts, a plate of phoenix feet, a plate of black and unknown pieces of meat, and a bottle of half-drunk beer.
There is a boring TV show on the TV on the wall, a woman is crying, a man is laughing, the scene is on the street, and the people walking by are all blank.
Zhou Papi took out a pack of cigarettes, took one in his mouth, and shook the cigarette case at Tang Shan before lighting the fire, Tang Shan shook his head and signaled not to smoke. Zhou Papi put on the style of the daily little brother, lit the cigarette, took a big puff, slowly spit it out, and asked Tang Shan:
"How much to borrow?"
Tang Shan was taken aback again, and thought to himself, how do you know that I am here to borrow money? But after thinking about it, the following is the casino, Zhou Papi gives usury to gamblers, and the people who come upstairs may only borrow money.
Tang Shan relaxed a little, and asked as old-fashioned as he could:
"How is interest calculated?"
Zhou Papi spit out another puff of cigarette and replied casually:
"The daily interest rate is three percent, and the interest of the day is deducted on the spot. The final repayment deadline for the principal is one month from today. But before this point of each day, the interest of the day must be paid off. ”
After speaking, he paused, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and looked at Tang Shan Dao:
"You're a special guest, though. No matter how much you borrow today, it will be interest-free. ”
Tang Shan knew that he had gotten to the point, and since he was interest-free, there were other conditions. And what Tang Shan has is nothing but the endgame "Jade Silk Golden Ding" inherited from the old man and its moves.
He couldn't be trying to lure, was he? So do I say yes or no? How much are endgames and moves worth? Tang Shan was heartbroken, and he planned to get straight to the point. There are things that always go around, and with his experience, he can't deal with this kind of old rascal.
Tang Shan asked:
"I don't know you well, why don't you waive my interest?"
Zhou Weiliang took out three stacks of money from the coffee table drawer and threw them in front of Tang Shan, not caring indifferently:
"If you don't know each other, you can make friends. Let's take it first, and then come up and talk when you've had fun. ”
Tang Shan was reluctant to take it, but thinking that the money might be able to solve the debt pressure of his friend Chen Yusheng, so that he would not fall into the quagmire of bad gambling, he was in a horizontal heart, fuck, solve the problem in front of him first.
Otherwise, as long as I don't agree, what can Zhou Papi do to me?
So he grabbed the money and turned and went downstairs. walked to the door, turned his head and played a cool one:
"I will pay you back as soon as possible. But make friends, and you don't have to. ”
