Chapter 11: Gambling
Wang Lung took Xue Jiao and Lou Qingyun and his gang to drive to the gate of a compound in the northern suburbs of the city.
After getting out of the car, Wang Lung looked at the surrounding environment, there are all kinds of yards nearby, there is no bright light in the city, there is only one road at the entrance of the compound, the potholes on the road are dilapidated, and it is very narrow, up to two cars side by side, the back of the yard is like a high wall, more than 20 meters high, because it is dark at night, I can't see what it is.
There was a sign hanging at the entrance of the compound, and the words "Waste Recycling Station" were written crookedly on it.
Holding Xue Jiao's hand, Wang Lung followed behind Lou Qingyun.
Lou Qingyun nodded to a gangster next to him, and the gangster picked up his mobile phone and dialed a call, but he didn't speak, and hung up directly after a few rings.
After less than a minute, the door of the compound opened, and a head poked out of it to look around vigilantly.
After seeing Lou Qingyun, he immediately smiled all over his face: "Boss, Lu Ping is already here, waiting inside." ”
Lou Qingyun didn't say anything, raised his legs and walked into the compound, Wang Lung took Xue Jiao's hand and followed.
The yard is very large, full of all kinds of recycled waste products, a huge courtyard with only a row of three large tiled houses, surrounded by red brick walls, and the bright glass ballast can be seen through the moonlight.
Wang Lung followed Lou Qingyun into the door and came to a wardrobe.
The man who had just opened the door hurriedly ran two steps to open the wardrobe and pressed it on the edge of the closet.
Click......
The wardrobe was moved to the side, revealing a small door that could only be passed through by one person.
Lou Qingyun walked in directly, and Wang Lung pulled Xue Jiao to follow.
After Wang Lung stepped through the small door, he found that he had reached the outside of the courtyard again, but what appeared in front of him was the wall that was more than twenty meters high, and now after a closer look at Wang Lung he understood what this high wall was.
"Boss Lou, amazing, the Yellow River embankment has been hollowed out by you!"
Wang Lung followed Lou Qingyun through a straw curtain door again, and when he saw that the other party did not respond to his question just now, he shook his head awkwardly.
"Aren't you afraid that the Yellow River will flood you that day?"
Lou Qingyun looked back at Wang Lung and said with a contemptuous smile: "Hmph, there is a big flood? Will there be this Yellow River in a few decades?"
Wang Lung smiled knowingly, and didn't continue, just followed closely behind Lou Qingyun.
After walking nearly ten meters inside, there was no passage, and there was indeed an anti-theft door that was closed.
At this time, the door happened to be pushed open, and a person flashed out from inside, nodded at Lou Qingyun and called Mr. Lou.
Lou Qingyun patted the other party's shoulder: "Lu Ping, I'm sorry, I called you over so late." ”
"Ha Luha, Mr. Lou, you are too polite, do we still need these?" Lou Qingyun nodded and walked in.
After stepping into the security door, Wang Lung found that there was a hole inside.
Facing the door is a bar, there are all kinds of drinks behind the bar, there is a group of high-end sofas next to the bar, there is a newspaper shelf next to the sofa, there are only a few magazines scattered on the shelf, from the bar to the left is a long passage, both sides of the passage are a single room, there is no sense of grandeur, only antique charm, people who do not know the inside story, will definitely think that it is a bar or tea house with a mood.
Lou Qingyun sat directly on the sofa and pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for Lu Ping to sit down.
Wang Lung himself was a big grinning person, although Lou Qingyun didn't signal, he still took Xue Jiao's hand and sat in the spare seat.
Lou Qingyun smiled at Wang Long, turned back to Lu Ping and said, "I think you should know what made you make a move this time, this Wang Long next to me is going to fight you."
"Oh?"
Lu Ping nodded at Wang Lung, in fact, Lu Ping had noticed it since Wang Lung entered the door, but he never understood that Wang Lung's age was less than 20 years old, and he had so much confidence there.
When Lu Pingzheng sighed in his heart, Wang Long smiled and said to Lou Qingyun: "Mr. Lou, can we start, it's too late, and we will be late for work tomorrow." ”
Lou Qingyun was speechless, this kid is too capable, go to work?
"Ha Lu Ha ......" Lou Qingyun patted Lu Ping's shoulder, Lu Ping nodded and said, "Anytime!"
When Wang Lung and Lu Ping sat opposite each other, all kinds of gambling equipment were already on the table, such as poker, mahjong, dice, and pai gow.
Lu Ping stretched out his hand to smooth it from the various gambling equipment, and motioned to Wang Lung to choose that gambling method.
Wang Lung just clicked the dice casually, and immediately a dealer removed the remaining gambling equipment.
"Bet on the size?" Lu Pingping looked at Wang Lung and asked.
Wang Lung curled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Bet on the points, whoever has the least points wins." ”
"Good!"
Lu Ping agreed very simply, but there was no downward movement.
Wang Lung scratched his head embarrassedly for a while, "You are a senior, you come first!"
......
"I just happened to visit and learn. ”
Lu Ping originally heard Wang Lung's first sentence and felt that this kid was quite polite, and was about to brew emotions to be polite, but he didn't expect Wang Lung's second sentence to directly make Lu Ping's words hold back.
I hated it in my heart, where the fuck did I come from, but Lu Ping didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face.
Wang Lung, who was sitting opposite, only saw a dazzling, flying up and down scene, when Lu Ping's dice clock was still, Wang Lung still had big eyes open, and his Adam's apple was wriggling!
Wang Lung looked up at Lu Ping's peaceful smile and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"It's so pretty!"
"Flutter ......"
Xue Jiao, who was standing behind Wang Lung, couldn't help but laugh, and burst out with a smile in her small mouth.
Wang Lung glanced back at Xue Jiao, and under the reflection of the light, a flush quietly crept up Xue Jiao's cheeks.
But Lou Qingyun, who was fighting next to him, tightened his forehead, and his heart was full of muttering, did I think too highly of this kid from the beginning?
Lu Ping's expression was serious, and he reached out and gently took the dice clock away.
Six Ones!
No, it should be said that it is a one, because all the dice are neatly stacked together with the word "one" facing up.
Visually intuitive, there is only one point.
Lou Qingyun smiled, very satisfied with Lu Ping's performance, the current situation is invincible.
The next thing to do is to see Wang Lung's performance, if it is a draw, you can continue, if you ......
Bang Bang Bang ......
The applause interrupted Lou Qingyun's thoughts, and everyone looked up.
At this moment, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman with a very ordinary appearance stood there, accompanied by two people who looked like horses.
That woman looks very ordinary, the kind that she doesn't look at a second time when she is thrown on the street, but she is very well-dressed, and there is nothing gorgeous, but when combined with it, it can bring out her faint and noble temperament.
When he saw who appeared, Lou Qingyun immediately greeted him, and kept muttering, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Sister Lu, you ...... Why did you come over all of a sudden, and you didn't tell your little brother in advance?"
That Sister Lu pretended to be angry and snorted lightly, ignored Lou Qingyun, walked straight to the sofa next to her, and sat down.
Lu Ping, who was opposite Wang Lung, also quickly got up and nodded at the woman with a smile, and called out to Sister Lu.
The appearance of this woman made Wang Lung and Xue Jiao next to them completely become decorations.
There is a good show to watch, Wang Lung thought to himself, he was not in a hurry, and sat on the spot with his shoulders on his shoulders to watch the play.
Lou Qingyun is very helpless now, mainly because this woman can't be provoked by herself, not that she is powerful, but that her backstage is very powerful.
Sister Lu, the original wife of the big guy who was served by Lou Qingyun in prison.
Since Lou Qingyun came out of prison and returned to his old business, if it were not for this Sister Lu's back, Lou Qingyun would not have today's achievements.
Lou Qingyun knows very well that he can have today, in fact, the most important thing is the support of the big guy, although the big guy is still squatting in prison, but his hands have never been restricted.
Since the big guy entered, Sister Lu began to stand alone, although there were many unexpected resistances during the period, but they were easily resolved by this seemingly harmless middle-aged woman.
When Lou Qingyun first came into contact with Sister Lu, he once sighed, "If you have a husband, you must have a wife!"
Lou Qingyun followed behind Sister Lu like a ponyboy, even if she sat on the sofa, she only sat sideways for half of her ass.
"Sister Lu, what's wrong with you, if anyone provokes you, nag me"
It's not that Lou Qingyun doesn't want to help Sister Lu get ahead, but even if she wants to come out, Sister Lu won't even raise her eyelids.
"Do you really want to know Lu Dao?" Sister Lu looked sideways, and Lu Ping said to Lou Qingyun.
Lou Qingyun didn't speak, just smiled vigorously and nodded.
Sister Lu looked at Lou Qingyun with the same pug, glanced at it with disdain, raised her hand and pointed to the gambling game that was going on.
"I asked a few sisters to play cards today, and I originally asked Lu Ping to come over and give us some pointers, but I heard that Lu Ping was robbed by you halfway, what do you say?"
Lou Qingyun's smiling face froze instantly, he stiffly turned his neck to look at Lu Ping, and his eyes instantly widened, meaning to ask Sister Lu to find you, why don't you tell me?
Lu Ping also couldn't say it, Sister Lu originally told him about it, but he didn't set a time at that time, how could he know that the Tao was today!
Lu Ping is very helpless now, but this matter has already involved himself, so he can only explain it head-on.
"This ...... Sister Lu did tell me about this, but ......"
Before Lu Ping's words were finished, Sister Lu interrupted: "I didn't set a time for Lu Ping at that time, but I was just about to set a time, and you robbed him." ”
Lou Qingyun's uneasy mood eased slightly, and said to Sister Lu flatteringly: "Sister Lu, what ...... Then you think you'll let Lu Ping come with you now, or?"
"No, my sisters can't wait to get their beauty done, and since I'm already here, I'm going to play around with you. Sister Lu said lightly.
When Lou Qingyun heard Sister Lu say this, she immediately changed to the expression of a pug.
"Then Sister Lu, sit down for a while, this place will end soon, how about I play two games with you in a while?"
Sister Lu hummed lightly, looked up at Wang Lung, in fact, from the time he entered the door, he had already seen Wang Lung and Xue Jiao, but he didn't look carefully, and after a closer look, he felt that something was wrong.
Wang Lung and Xue Jiao are both half-grown children, and they are only about twenty years old, could it be that the young master and young lady of that family came to play? But seeing that their outfits are not similar at all, Sister Lu muttered in her heart.
Sister Lu turned her head to look at Lou Qingyun and asked, "What kind of game is this?"
Lou Qingyun didn't dare to hide anything in front of Sister Lu, although it was not a long time since the little brother was beaten by her to the current gambling game, but with Sister Lu's ability, it didn't take an hour to figure out the beginning and end of the matter.
Lou Qingyun obediently explained the whole thing in detail, including starting from setting up a bureau to engage Xue Qingshan, and explained everything clearly word for word.
Listening to Lou Qingyun's explanation, Sister Lu didn't take it seriously at first, but after hearing it, Sister Lu was happy, looked up at Wang Long and said with a smile: "Interesting." ”
Lou Qingyun felt a little depressed when he saw that Sister Lu was silent for a while, so he said to Sister Lu: "Sister Lu, why don't you take a rest first and let them continue." ”
Sister Lu slowly stood up from the sofa, looked at the table of the gambling game and then looked at Wang Lung.
turned around and said to Lou Qingyun: "Let's discuss something." ”
Lou Qingyun also stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Lu, you are too polite, what still needs to be discussed, you just say it, I promise to do it for you!"
"I already have a gamble today, let your kid mess up the yellow for you, just right, I don't think this game is over yet, how about I also join in?"
Lou Qingyun looked at the gambling game puzzled, "I don't know what Sister Lu means?"
"Now that Lu Ping has shaken this game, it seems that he is already invincible, I will give you a cheap, I will bet that little guy to win, if I lose, Beiyuan will be yours in the future, but if you lose, how about you transfer Xue Qingshan's deed to me?"
Lou Qingyun heard Sister Lu say this, and her heart chuckled.
There is no good thing in the world to drop pies, and this game can be said to win without losing, the worst is a tie situation, even if it is an additional game, it is still very big to win at the level of Lu Ping.
Could it be that the one inside has already instructed me to take over the North Garden? Lou Qingyun was very excited to take over the North Park in an all-round way, but why is Sister Lu so optimistic about this kid? Lou Qingyun couldn't figure it out.
In fact, Sister Lu is just looking for a stimulus, she also knows that Wang Long has little chance of winning now, anyway, for her, Beiyuan is the same for everyone, her family thinks that Lou Qingyun is okay, it is better to use raw than cooked, and Lou Qingyun is quite respectful to her, so she should be cheap.
If that kid can really let himself win, a title deed will not play a role in Lou Qingyun's hands, but it will be different in her own hands, she is the eldest sister on the road, and she can know any news as soon as possible, and the affairs of Shanghe County are naturally not full of her ears and eyes.
Sister Lu looked at Lou Qingyun for a long time without speaking, and pretended to be angry and said, "What, no?"
Lou Qingyun quickly interrupted his messy thoughts, in fact, he knew that he couldn't refuse this condition from the moment Sister Lu said just now.
"Hehe, Sister Lu, look at what you said, if I don't take such a big bargain, then I won't have to mix in the road in the future. ”
Sister Lu saw that Lou Qingyun agreed, and walked straight towards Wang Lung.
Seeing Sister Lu walking this way, Xue Jiao moved to Wang Long's side very nervously, and Sister Lu didn't mind when she looked at Xue Jiao's actions, but a smile hung on her face.
Wang Lung took Xue Jiao's little hand and turned around and gave her a comforting smile.
"Boy, this is your girlfriend, right?"
Sister Lu didn't go straight to the point, but glanced at Wang Lung teasingly.
Wang Lung didn't feel cramped, nor did he speak, but scratched Xue Jiao's palm with his fingers mischievously.
Xue Jiao didn't dare to speak at all, she was helpless about Wang Lung's small movements, and when she heard Sister Lu's question, not only did she not avoid Wang Lung's harassment, but the blush on her face was even better than just now.
Sister Lu didn't blame Wang Lung for not answering her words, and said directly: "You also saw what happened just now, I am very optimistic about you, if you win, I can guarantee that you will not have any trouble on the ground in Jinan in the future, and I will give you a big red envelope!"
After Sister Lu finished speaking, she didn't wait for Wang Lung to speak, smiled lightly and turned to Lu Ping and said, "Okay, go on." ”
Lu Ping sat down and raised his hand to signal that it was time for Wang Lung to shake the dice.
Wang Lung did not remove his left hand from Xue Jiao's hand, but put the dice into the dice clock one by one with one hand.
Poop!
Poop!
Poop!
Poop!
Poop!
Poop!
The crisp striking of dice and dice bells echoed throughout the room.
Wang Lung picked up the dice clock casually and shook it lightly with his backhand, only to hear a bang, and the dice clock was buckled on the table.
