The years when I was an old man

My job in the bath is relatively leisurely.

Distribute the supplies to each bath area and guest room every day.

For the remaining time, just wait for the intercom notification, and what needs to be added.

It is the same today.After the spare parts were distributed, I sat on the steps in the backyard of the bath, smoking a cigarette silently.

Just halfway through a cigarette, the backyard gate suddenly opened.

I saw two men walking out side by side.

I know these two very well.

One was Hou Jun who wanted to embarrass me in public this morning.

And the other one is his childhood friend.

It was also Lao Hei who challenged me one-on-one that night.

Hou Jun turned his back to me, and he didn't see me.

On the contrary, it was Old Hei. When he saw me, he couldn't help but froze.

Immediately, he turned his gaze elsewhere.

The two are not far from me.

Even though their voices are not loud, I can hear their conversation clearly.

Old Hei: Monkey, I just collected 500 yuan, you can take it first.I owe you the two thousand, and I will give it to you later.

Hou Jun: OK, Old Hei.I'm also in a hurry to use the money, otherwise I wouldn't be in a hurry to ask you for it.You can give me the remaining two thousand within a month.

I heard a sneer in my heart.

Hou Jun kept saying that Lao Hei was his younger brother and best brother.

He played thousands of games, not only won Lao Hei, but also lent Lao Hei a lot of money.

Now, he said that he needed money urgently and asked for debts.

This person is so hypocritical and cunning that his relatives do not recognize him.

The two chatted a few more gossips, and Hou Jun spoke again.

"By the way, Old Hei, our underground casino is going to open in a few days. If you can't get any money, you can bring your friends to play. Regardless of whether you win or lose, take one person and give you three hundred. If your friend loses More, let me talk to Sister Mei, and I can tell you more..."

Old Hei's face showed embarrassment.

"You also know that the few friends around me are not good at gambling. If this is brought to others, if they lose money, I will be sorry for them..."

"It has nothing to do with you that they lose, and you didn't hold their hand to gamble. It's okay, bring them here first, let's talk about whether you want to play or not..."

Hou Jun still persuaded.

Unexpectedly, before the casino opened, Hou Jun would play the role of soliciting customers.

This kind of role can be found in casinos everywhere.

They have a common name, "Jackkit Operator".

Of course, there are also such people in Lan Daoqian.

Since the beginning of the Qianmen, there has been a saying of the Eight Generals of the Qianmen.

And this kind of special persuasion to enter the game.

He belongs to the eight generals of Qianmen, and is called "promotion general".

The two were talking when Hou Jun's walkie-talkie rang.

It was Su Mei who asked him to go to the office.

He talked to Lao Hei and left in a hurry.

When I turned around, I saw me.

He gave me another hard look before pushing the door open and going in.

In the whole yard, only Lao Hei and I were left.

After the two of us looked at each other, Lao Hei strode towards me.

And I, still sitting on the steps, did not move.

When he came in front of me, Lao Hei actually handed me a cigarette.

"Come one..."

I took it, lit it, and took a big drag.

Old Hei also ordered one.

The two of us stood and sat, smoking quietly, neither of us talking.

After a while, Lao Hei suddenly spoke.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"afraid!"

"Then you dare to fight me that day?"

"Because I think you are more afraid than me!"

Old Hei smiled, very silly.

"What if I'm not afraid of you, what will you do?"

"Then see whose life is long!"

My tone is still cold.

Old Hei smiled, but it was a wry smile.

"Come on, I'll convince you. I've been old black for so many years, but I haven't convinced anyone. Your sixth grader is considered a..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Hei immediately changed his words again.

"Oh, no. I lost that day, so I have to call you the sixth master, the sixth master!"

I won badly that day, but I was also beaten up by Lao Hei.

But my impression of Lao Hei has always been good.

I am willing to bet and admit defeat, and I will do what I say.

At the same time, there are principles and bottom lines, and you don't cheat your friends.

Fighting one-on-one with me is also standing out for a friend.

It's just that the mind is a little simple, and people are a little naive.

But this is also a good thing for me.

Taking a puff of cigarette, looking at Lao Hei, I asked lightly:

"Have you ever thought about why you always lose money in Hou Jun's game?"

"Back of ideas, bad luck, why else?"

wooden club!

Out-and-out mallet!

This kind of person is born for cheaters.

I like to gamble, and I don't talk about anything.

He also insisted that it was all down to luck.

Even that day when he, Leopard J, met Hou Jun's Leopard A.

And Hou Jun's Leopard A met my 235 again.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with such an abnormal thing.

Taking a puff of my cigarette, I slowly shook my head.

"It's not luck, you were tricked by Hou Jun. The poker he uses for the game is old-fashioned poker. He knows everyone..."

"impossible!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Lao Hei vetoed loudly.

"Monkey and I have grown up since childhood, and we have the strongest relationship. It is impossible for him to cheat anyone. You can't provoke us because of what happened that day!"

The righteous words that Lao Hei said.

I rarely smile.

But at this time, I really want to laugh.

In this world, there really are such idiots who were sold and offered money.

"Do not believe?"

"Ok!"

"It's very simple, you go to that supermarket and buy a few decks of cards..."

Seeing how firm I said, Old Hei was also a little dizzy.

After thinking about it, he said to me:

"So, you go with me, you tell me, how can you recognize it?"

"I'm working now!"

"I asked Hou Jun to ask for leave for you..."

Old Hei is very persistent.

I thought about it and said:

"Forget it, I'll invite myself..."

Then, I took out my mobile phone and called Su Mei.

She called me once before and I saved her number.

As soon as the phone call came through, I told her that I was going to ask for leave.

I thought that Su Mei's attitude must be as cold or angry as in the morning.

Unexpectedly, Su Mei's tone was very calm.

"In the future, if you have anything to do, you can do it. You don't need to ask for leave, and it won't count as your absenteeism. Someone mentioned the bathing area, so you just say that you have invited me..."

I was taken aback.

I didn't expect Su Mei to give me a privilege.

This is not angry?

The supermarket we played before is not far from the bath.

When we arrived at the door, we hadn't waited to go in.

I heard the voice of an old man from across the street.

"Hey, aren't these the two who fought that night? How did you get back together so quickly? It's so boring, and I want to see you two fight again..."

The person who spoke was none other than the old Mr. Wu who was sitting at the door watching the excitement that night.

At this time, he has a cattail fan in his left hand and a half-moon purple sand pot in his right hand.

Sitting on the horse tie in front of the courtyard, drinking tea by himself.

He didn't care, his hair was all white and messed up by the wind.

Hei and I didn't talk to each other and went straight into the small supermarket.

The supermarket owner obviously didn't expect that the two of us would come.

His eyes were clearly flustered.

Old Hei didn't talk nonsense, and said directly:

"Give me two cards..."

The boss first glanced outside the door.

I guess, he was looking to see if Hou Jun was here too.

Seeing that no one came in, he immediately said:

"The poker is sold out, and the delivery will be made tomorrow, so come tomorrow..."

"You fucking think I'm blind?"

Old Hei suddenly roared.

The boss and I were taken aback.

He pointed to the shelf next to him.

"That's not poker, but your mother's sanitary napkin?"

On the shelves, there are two kinds of poker.

One is Yao Ji, and the other is Triple A that we often play.

In fact, I suspect that both of these should be released by Hou Jun.

Just because we always play triple-A, I don't bother to see if there is something wrong with Yao Ji.
