The years when I was an old man

When I told Lord Hong the news that I was going to Dali.

Master Hong seemed a little worried, he looked at me, frowned and said:

"I remember what Zhang Fan once said. The distribution of power in the Yundian blue road is 'one emperor sits in the middle hall, and the second king straddles the sides. The three beauties gather in the center of Yunnan, and the stars go to the eight wildernesses'." The first emperor refers to Huang Shigong, the underground emperor of Yundian , It is said that the power is very powerful, and the mainland casinos are just his small business branch. However, this man is so unpredictable that he is rarely seen on the rivers and lakes. The two kings refer to the western Yunnan gambling king Liu Yunxiu and the eastern Yunnan gambling king Luo North. Sanmei seems to be three women who control the casino in central Yunnan. It’s just that the outside world doesn’t know much about Yundian Landao, so Liu Yunxiu is generally called the gambling king of Yundian…”

I nodded.These words were first said by Zhang Fan, and later I heard Qin Sihai say them again.

Master Hong continued:

"Although Dali is located in the west of central Yunnan, and it doesn't completely belong to Liu Yunxiu's territory, it is still next to it after all. You go so rashly by yourself. It is inevitable that you will have some entanglements with the Liu family. The star list will start soon, I am afraid of this The season is out of season!"

I shook my head.

"I'm not going by myself!"

"And who?"

"Xiaoduo!"

Oh?

Master Hong was a little surprised, so I said:

"Master Hong, I want you to tell Lao Hei, Xiao Shi and Zhong Rui about my going to Yundian. Just tell them that I am in Dali, and nothing else..."

Master Hong looked at me thoughtfully, and nodded slowly.

When I saw Xiaoduo again, it was at a post station at the ferry.

At the beginning, Xiaoduo was very happy.

But when she heard that I was going to disguise her as brother and sister, she pouted and seemed a little unhappy.

But when she heard that only the two of us would go to Dali, the cloudy weather turned sunny, and she got better.

Cangshan snow, Erhai moon, Shangguan flowers, Xiaguan wind.

The beauty of Dali is beyond my expectation.

I was not in a hurry, so I took Xiaoduo to eat the local roasted milk fan, Xizhou Baba.

The two of us rented a bicycle and rode along the Erhai Lake casually.

Cangshan Mountain reflects the Erhai Lake, the blue lake water, and the weeping willows on the shore.

Coupled with Xiaoduo's happy laughter, at this moment, I feel a kind of relaxation that I have never felt before.

Go to the viewing platform and put the bike aside.

Xiaoduo held on to the railing, looking at the Erhai Lake.The wind blew her long hair.

I suddenly found that I was really blind in the past, and I didn't realize that the pure Xiaoduo actually has a kind of elegant beauty.

As I was watching, Xiaoduo suddenly looked back at me.

Seeing my eyes glowing, she tilted her head and asked me curiously:

"What are you looking at?"

Only then did I come back to my senses, I just shook my head and didn't answer her words.

Xiaoduo suddenly smirked, and said with a smile:

"On the sixth day of the lunar new year, shall I write you a poem?"

write poetry?

I have never discovered that Xiaoduo still has this ability.

I saw Xiaoduo shaking her head and putting on an old-fashioned look.

"The Erhai Lake is full of water, but it's quite beautiful..."

After saying a few words, she seemed to be unable to make up any more.

Pouting his mouth, frowning, he looked like he was thinking hard.

Looking at her, I couldn't laugh or cry and said:

"Can't make it up?"

"cut!"

After Xiaoduo gave me a blank look, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said:

"Yes! The Erhai Lake is full of water, but it's quite beautiful. Take Xiao Chuliu and go down to catch turtles!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she laughed herself first.

Xiaoduo was laughing when suddenly there was a burst of laughter behind her.

She was startled, and when she turned her head, she saw a young man with yellow teeth bared and a mid-section standing behind Xiaoduo.

Xiaoduo stared and scolded loudly:

"Why are you stealthily eavesdropping on my speech?"

The middle-pointed man smiled, pointed at me and said:

"This boss asked me to come!"

Ok?

Xiaoduo gave me a strange look.

I asked Huang Mao to help find this person, a native of Yunnan.

An old gambler who is not very old, but has a long gambling experience.

The middle-pointed man walked up to me quickly, with a flattering look.

"Boss, Huang Mao told me that you want to go to the casino in Dali, right?"

I didn't say a word, took out 300 yuan from my pocket, and handed it to him.

The middle-pointed man took the money happily, and then told me about it incessantly.

"The boss has found the right person for me. Let's put it this way, I have been working in casinos since I was eight years old. There are so many places in Yunnan and Dian, and there is no place I haven't been to. Last year, I went to Myanmar specially. The venue in the north, if the boss wants to go, I will take you there. The route is absolutely safe..."

Yunnan and Yunnan are adjacent to northern Myanmar, and many people crossed there illegally.

I shook my head and said:

"I'm not interested, I just came to Dali for tourism. By the way, I'm going to have a look at the venues here. Tell me about the venues here!"

Saying that, I handed a cigarette to the man in the middle.

After lighting it and taking a sip, the middle-pointed man began to talk:

"Dali is a special place. It belongs to the middle of Yunnan, and it's a bit to the west. So the venues are quite mixed. There are three beauties in central Yunnan. There is also the venue of Liu Yunxiu, the gambling king in western Yunnan. But the venues are not big, everyone There is nothing wrong with each other, but there are more small places. A few months ago, a ruthless character named Cyclops under Liu Yunxiu opened a gambling stall here for his concubine. The business is not bad..."

The three beauties of Central Yunnan mentioned by the middle-pointed man I heard from the old head Wu.

It is said that these three people are outstanding in appearance, and they were also known as the five beauties of a thousand families together with Huo Yutong and Qu Fengmei.

I checked the time and asked:

"Does Cyclops always come here?"

The middle-pointed man smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said:

"Boss, you think highly of me now. How can a small character like me know the whereabouts of Cyclops..."

What the split-headed man said was very real. I thought about it and said:

"Okay, let's go around from place to place, go to Cyclops first!"
