"There is no fixed border control on the border between France and Belgium, only occasional temporary inspection," Macliang said. ”

Walked another way.

Mack Liang drove the van from south to north along a road. Suddenly, he shouted: "Look, the sign in front of you is still 1 kilometer away from Belgium." ”

Chen Wen looked at it, and there was a square sign not far from the right side of the expressway, with white letters on a blue background, which read, "1 km ahead, Belgium." ”

"We will come back from Belgium in two days, and in a symmetrical position, there will also be a sign of France 1 km ahead. ”

In this way, the van sped down the road without encountering any checkpoints or border checks, and entered Belgian territory.

Chen Wen asked: "The relationship between these two countries is really good, and neither of them needs border control." ”

Mark Liang smiled: "People say that Belgium is the backyard of France. We're already in Belgium and you'll get a taste of what a back garden is in a moment. ”

Passing through a small town, Chen Wen exclaimed, it was so beautiful! Passing through a village, it was still a European idyll.

Chen Wen sighed, coming out of Paris and going to Belgium, there are good places to travel and check in, and he thinks that in the future, he will have the opportunity to bring Su Qianqian and Tang Jin and them here for a walk.

Soon after, the van arrived in Mons, the capital of the province of Hainaut.

Chen Wen has realized the true meaning of "back garden".

This is the capital of the southern province of Belgium, and at noon Chen Wen passed through the capital of the northern province of France, the comparison of the two is enough to show that the economic level of Belgium is inferior to that of France.

Leave Mons and continue north. Pass through the city of Braina Leconte and enter the province of Walloon Brabant. Mark Liang asked: "Do you want to go to Waterloo to see, the famous tourist destination, just nearby, I turned to the east in front, half an hour away." ”

Chen Wen shook his head: "We're going to buy lottery tickets and see the place where Napoleon defeated the war is unlucky." ”

Mark Liang smiled: "That's right! Don't look at it!"

In Halle City, Mark Liang stopped to refuel, and Chen Wen paid the bill.

Chen Wen glanced at his watch, and it was past four o'clock in the afternoon, asking when Mark Liang would arrive in Brussels.

"Halle is only 30 kilometers outside Brussels, and if you get to the city, it's more than 40 kilometers, and then you can't get up at speed, and it's almost an hour," Markliang said. ”

Chen Wen said: "Go to the city to find a hotel with a lottery station nearby, not too expensive hotel, just ordinary." ”

Mark Liang promised: "No problem." ”

Leaving Halle, at about half past five, Chen Wen arrived at a hotel in the west.

Chen Wen asked, "It's not like an urban area. ”

"There's no fun in the city, and there are a lot of casinos in the West End with the tickets you want to buy," Mark Liang said. The hotel in the casino is not expensive, and if you spend a certain amount of money in it, the hotel room rate can be waived. ”

Chen Wen squinted his eyes and said, "You are very familiar with this place." ”

Mark Liang smiled: "I've brought friends here a few times before. ”

Chen Wenchai that this Mark Liang should have a commission.

On one street, Chen Wen saw five hotel signboards with dice or roulette logos, decorated with neon lights.

Needless to say, he could imagine that this was the place where the hotel and the casino were all in one.

Mark Liang parked the car and led Chen Wen into a hotel, Chen Wen looked at his performance, and always felt that this person had a relationship with this hotel such as kickbacks.

Chen Wen opened two of the cheapest single rooms, using the franc cash on his body.

The two went to the hotel restaurant and ate two large plates of fried noodles and grilled sausages.

After dinner, Mark Liang led Chen Wen into the hotel's casino.

With a dazzling array of various projects, Chen Wen was not interested, and played perfunctorily. After walking around, Mark Liang took Chen Wen to the counter of the lottery ticket.

"It's strange in European countries, some countries don't allow gambling, and some countries can gamble casually. Those who can't gamble in their own country will go to Belgium, Romania, Portugal, Italy, England to play. In these countries where you can gamble, the lottery is also very developed, and you can buy various sports in various countries. ”

Chen Wen grabbed a few booklets, found a seat, and read and studied carefully. Mark Liang sat nearby and carried a seat to accompany him quietly.

Soon, Chen Wen saw his experience.

The five major football leagues, all of which can be bought here. Men's basketball leagues in European countries can also be bought. There are also a number of other sports competitions, such as F1.

In his previous life, Chen Wen watched a lot of football games, but he found that he was really not suitable for buying football games in this life, because he didn't remember the results of the games.

Chinese people of Chen Wen's age were influenced by Yang Ma's broadcast of Serie A when they were teenagers, and they generally liked the Serie A team.

For example, in the Serie A league that will start this week, Chen Wen looked at the match table and was stunned, he couldn't remember the memory of 27 years ago, God knows who won and who lost so many games.

After flipping through the Serie A schedule for a long time, Chen Wen unexpectedly found two memories.

One was Juventus 1-1 Roma on 27 September and AC Milan 1-1 Inter Milan on 22 November.

The reason why Chen Wen remembered these two scores was because he had lost money.

In his previous life, in 1992, Chen Wen buried his parents' ashes and came to Guangdong Province to work. Sharing a house with a few people who are also wage earners, he watched the two games broadcast, and these four teams are all teams that Chen Wenting likes.

At that time, several wage earners bet on these two games, and Chen Wen was also pulled to play together, and Chen Wen bet dozens of yuan each in each game. He had long forgotten who he had bought to win, but he remembered the result because he lost the money and the score was exactly the same 1-1.

Because he lost the bet, Chen Wen had no money to eat in the next half a month, starved half to death, and experienced an extremely painful time, which is too deep in memory.

After a trance for a while, Chen Wen woke up again and looked at the betting time of these two Serie A games. It is not possible to place bets at this time, and you must place bets three days before the start of the match.

It is rare for Chen Wen to remember the score in a football game, and these two sums of money must be earned. He thought that three days before the start of the game, he would either come to Belgium or Italy, and the revenge of losing half a month without money to eat in his previous life must be avenged!

Retrieving this memory, Chen Wen was in a happy mood and continued to read the leaflet of the F1 Belgian race.

Unlike the Serie A schedule, which is a full booklet, F1 is a one-page document, newly printed, with an introduction to the races and betting rules on one side, and odds on the teams and drivers on the other.

When he hadn't gone abroad before, when he was thinking about the game in Shanghai where Schumacher was about to win the championship, Chen Wen estimated that Schumacher's odds should be around 1 to 5.

Chen's prediction was based on his knowledge that Schumacher was the future king of cars, and he thought that Schumacher's odds in 1992 would not be too low.

But when he looked at the leaflet in front of him, he was deeply shocked!

In the 11 races that have ended this year, Williams Racing driver Mansell, who has won the championship eight times, leads the race at odds of 1 to 1.1 and is regarded as the top favorite to win the championship.

The meaning of this odds is that if you bet 10 yuan to buy Mansell to win the championship in Belgium, then when he does win the championship, you can get back 11 yuan and earn 1 yuan.

In second place on the flyer is McLaren's Senna, who won the first 11 races of the year twice. His odds for this round are 1.9 to 1.

The third-placed driver is Senna's team-mate, McLaren's Borg, who has won the title for the first time this year. He is priced at 4 to 1 in this round. This means that if you bet 1 dollar, if this person wins, you can get 4 dollars back, and 3 of them are wins.

Dozens of driver lists, in order of odds from top to bottom, Chen Wen looked for Schumacher all the way, and finally saw the name of the future car king in the penultimate four.
